「In the span of just half a day.」
Two major events spread from the Great Yan Imperial Palace, shocking the entire Imperial Capital.
The first was that the Holy Emperor had fallen ill. All military and state affairs were handed over to the Cabinet, led by the Chief Imperial Tutor, Yuan Xuangang.
Imperial Tutor Yuan Xuangang was the most important minister in the court, having held the position of Chief Minister for over thirty years without change. No one disputed this.
Qi Xingyan, after his time as the Advisor of the Imperial Censorate, was appointed as the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and had his position as Mountain Master of Shengjing Academy restored. His return to the Imperial Center was met with cheers from the scholars of Great Yan.
The second was that Empress Guo, who had been the mother of the nation for over fifty years, was deposed, and the Eldest Prince, Lu Changfeng, was exiled to the Western Border, never to return to the Capital City.
