章 292: Chapter 230: Who Will Win in the End?

Clang, clang, clang...

As the sky was just beginning to turn a fish belly white, at the sound of the bell ringing at the hour of mao, all civil and military officials in Tiandu hurried towards the Imperial City.

This was considered the first Great Morning Meeting after the emperor's death, with all civil and military officials in Tiandu of seventh grade or above allowed to participate.

Even the most significant figures from various provinces had dispatched their own confidants, representing their will to participate in this Great Morning Meeting.

At this moment, there was still a full two incense sticks' worth of time before the start of the Great Morning Meeting, but all officials had already arrived, standing on the plaza outside the Da Ming Gate.

They stood separate as civil and military officials, nobles, and members of the Royal Family, each in their designated locations, silently awaiting the arrival of the high-ranking personages.
