In the seventh year of Hongwu, the legitimate eldest grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, was born.
He who resides as the legitimate heir will surely ascend to t...
Zhu Yunwen wasn't entirely clear on how many major events the court was planning to undertake; he simply considered them quite normal. It would be strange if there were no events happening. In any case, these matters didn't require his personal effort, so he continued his lavish banquets and revelry with his many guests.
The Imperial Censor will certainly record His Highness Prince Wu's yawning and slouching posture and report it to His Majesty.
However, as many people know, His Majesty generally does not punish people for such things. Prince Wu is a prime example; he frequently misbehaves, and even if an ordinary civil or military official yawns or whispers, His Majesty would not hold it against them.
But there's nothing we can do. It's His Majesty's business if he doesn't punish them, but if the Censorate doesn't record it, then it's the Censorate's dereliction of duty, and that might be the reason they're punished.
There's no need to concern ourselves with the thoughts of these civil and military officials; they simply need to prepare for the morning court session. Some things will happen, and perhaps they will have the ability to do something about them. However, it's more likely that, given the prevailing circumstances, they will be powerless to change anything.
Perhaps at this point, all we can do is try our best and leave the rest to fate, or perhaps we should just try to mind our own business and contribute to the chaos.
After the sound of the whip cracked, civil and military officials lined up and walked towards the Fengtian Hall.
Regardless of their intentions, they still had to attend court when it was time to do so. Perhaps for some, this was a judgment that would determine their career path and fate.
Emperor Ying Shi, with the imposing gait of a dragon and the powerful stride of a tiger, casually sat down on the wide dragon throne. His discerning eyes swept over the civil and military officials, who then shouted "Long live the Emperor!" three times.
There were some things that needed to be done, and Zhu Yunying didn't intend to delay any longer. When opportunity knocks, seize it!
