In the spring of 1794, there was no old man drawing a circle in the Beihai, but a group of high-ranking overseas officials stood at Emre Port, eagerly awaiting the most distinguished guest.
This guest was none other than Roland, the former Imperial Knight Commander and Governor, now the Vice Emperor with the honorary title of Caesar.
Over the past year, the political landscape of the Empire had undergone massive upheavals.
The Cabinet left by the old Emperor was almost completely eliminated.
Their public charge was treason.
Among the original members of the Cabinet, only three or four, including William and Alben, continued to serve; the others were either executed or forced into early retirement.
Since ascending the throne, Empress Sylph's governing style could be described as vigorous and resolute.
She showed no mercy in suppressing dissidents, spared no effort in overseas expansion, and was only somewhat gentle with the lower classes at home.
