Today, the Grand Empress Dowager Zheng will also attend the grand court assembly.
Imperial Concubine Fan had a restless night and arrived at Jingyang Palace with Prince Ping at dawn. Her heart was filled with unease, yet she couldn't suppress her joy.
The nation cannot be without a ruler for even a single day. With Emperor Taihe laid to rest, the most urgent matter at hand is to establish a new ruler.
Prince Huaiyang and Prince Wu'an have both been imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison by the Grand Empress Dowager Zheng. At today's grand court assembly, neither of these vassal kings is even allowed to attend. With these two significant threats removed, no one can pose a threat to Prince Ping anymore.
Once Prince Ping ascends the throne, she will be the Empress Dowager of Da Liang.
