Chapter 477: Chapter 283: North Prince, What Do You Mean?_1

Ever since the Sum Emperor fell ill, the struggle among the Princes had intensified. Although the Sum Emperor temporarily ceased to attend court sessions, officials were still obligated to attend the regular Great Court Assembly.

The Great Court Assembly was usually presided over by Zhao Wenhan and Lin Gaoyuan. In the absence of the Sum Emperor's oversight, the Assembly had become a battleground for the factions of various Princes to launch attacks against each other.

Whenever the Great Court Assembly convened, the court officials would argue from the beginning until the end of the session.

Even though the factions had reached a point where they were incompatible as fire and water, the Sum Emperor still did not appear in court. Now, apart from the State Preceptor and those who served the Sum Emperor personally, only the Left and Right Prime Ministers were able to see the Sum Emperor after the court was dismissed.
