This morning court session seemed chaotic, but in retrospect, it was deliberately planned, meticulously organized, even down to Yu Wenqian and Yu Wenye kneeling simultaneously and expressing their gratitude verbatim to the new emperor, their father.
Yet, it was indeed chaotic.
From the moment they heard the announcement of the "Han King's" title, the expressions of everyone in the court changed. After all, once it was known that Yu Wenquan would eventually replace the emperor, most people started to take sides. Especially when the plague in Yanzuo Square was eradicated ahead of time, they were almost certain that the position of Crown Prince would inevitably go to Yu Wenqian.
So, even though these days were busy in Changle Square, Shang Ruyi knew how many officials now surrounded Yu Wenqian, and how Aunt Hui at home basked in her triumph.
Unexpectedly, the final appointment was a "Han King."
