After the emergency royal court meeting, His Majesty summoned Zheng Liang to his chamber the following day to announce his decision. Due to Zheng Liang's injuries, His Majesty relieved him from his duties in the royal court, mandating a week of rest without any work.
"I am perfectly capable of continuing my duties. I only acquired minor injuries; they are not serious.," Zheng Liang insisted, his voice tight with frustration.
The royal court is already burdened with a substantial workload. How will this backlog be managed in his absence?
However, his protests fell on deaf ears.
Emperor Zheng Huang remained firm in his decision, redistributing the Crown Prince's responsibilities among the other ministers. "The other ministers will carry out your duties during this period and report directly to me. You only need to rest and accompany Yang Ning during this period," he commanded.
