Three days later:
Because of the three days mourning for Lee Shimin, every official work in the capital was delayed. The sudden demise of General Lee, pushed Prince Wangjie's marriage to a later date and so did the departure of the Emperor's brothers was delayed.
Xianwu got ready in his royal attire. Today, the new military chief general would be appointed. He knew they would appoint Ning Hua's father as the next chief general, but Xianwu had already planned something else in his mind.
As the court started, and the Emperor sat on the throne, the discussion about the chief general started.
"Our condolences is with the Crown Prince for the great loss of his father," Jin Liang said as he bowed to Xianwu along with the other ministers present in the court. "We pray that General Lee Shimin's soul rest in peace," he added.
Wangjie chuckled to hear him and glanced at Xianwu, who looked quite serious after Lee Shimin's death.
