Emperor Chengping's control over the court could be described as absolute. Having held his position for thirty years, to this very day, not a single person in the court dares to disrespect or neglect the imperial power, even though the current Emperor Chengping has aged, and even though several Princes are engaging in a fierce struggle for power, none dare to defy him openly or covertly.
After Emperor Chengping's outburst of rage, officials from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the Imperial Examination Hall, and the Ministry of Justice were dispatched to Liao'an Prefecture on the same day.
At the same time, an imperial decree was sent to Liao'an Prefecture at the speed of an eight-hundred li expedited relay.
And just as the imperial decree was sent out from the Capital City, Prince Xin Mansion also received a pigeon-transmitted message from Liao'an Prefecture.
