Daming Palace, the Diligence Hall.
At this moment, it is noon. The rain has just cleared and the windows of the hall are all open. A breeze sneaks through the windows into the hall, bringing the fresh scent of spring.
On the dark gold Dragon Throne sits a man in a yellow dragon robe. Despite his average appearance and age of over fifty, he exudes an air of dominance and nobility unique to a ruler. In one hand, he's holding a memorial to the throne. In the other, a brush, which he uses to write instructions, his expression solemn.
A eunuch dressed in a deep blue robe quietly walks in, halting a meter away from the imperial table. He bows respectfully, "Your Majesty, it is time for lunch."
"Let it be brought." The man on the Dragon Throne is none other than Emperor Yang Hongbo, the present ruler of Daqi. His era name is Yong'an, so the people call him Emperor Yong'an.
