Today is a grand court day for the Shangjing Court.
Immortal Emperor Jiang Xuan personally presides over the court, consulting with the Cabinet Advisors and a host of central and regional dignitaries on the upcoming Human Dao Assembly.
The Human Dao Assembly is held once every thousand years; every past session has been a turning point that decides the fate of countless powers under heaven.
In the past, Shangjing, exalted as an Immortal Dynasty, was unaffected by the Human Dao Assembly; now that it has fallen to an Imperial Dynasty, naturally everything must be reconsidered from the beginning.
Right Minister Gong Tianrui and Left Minister Pei Weiyi stand to the left and right of Jiang Xuan, demonstrating their rank in this Court as beneath but one person, above ten thousand.
However, Pei Weiyi's position is for the most part merely symbolic; she seldom takes part in deliberations. It is basically Gong Tianrui who presides over affairs.
