The next day, at the break of dawn.
In the Northern Sky Cloud, seven stars appear larger and brighter than ever, red, green, yellow, orange, white... like colored copper nails, embedded in the sky that resembles a lake ruffled by the wind.
This is the auspicious day calculated by the astrological officials.
Today, the Imperial Grandson Yun will ascend the throne in the presence of civil and military officials and bestow the title of king upon General Jiang Dali.
At this moment, under the starlight, the Ming Country Palace is vividly visible, with the Five Dragon Bridge clearly in sight, and the mighty and serene Fengtian Hall resembling a crouching giant beast, shrouded in mystery.
Two rows of heavily armored Imperial Guards descend directly from the long steps at the hall's door, austere and solemn, intimidating all around.
Atop the three-tiered white platform is the Taihe Palace, symbolizing the highest authority of the dynasty.
