After the morning court session, the True Emperor Zhengtong was engulfed in a long overdue flurry of activity.
He needed to announce his ascension to the throne as soon as possible, which would help him control the provinces and create a fait accompli.
Charges had to be fabricated against the Grand Secretary Chen Xun, Shaofu Yu Jie, and Marquis of Guanjun, Li Xuan, branding them as rebels.
Li Xuan, holding the position of "General Zhenji", posed the greatest threat to Emperor Zhengtong.
Apart from this, Zhengtong also had to seek the support of northern military nobles, which would help him to quickly mobilize troops from around the capital to resist an attack from Jizhou Town.
However, his most pressing concern was the Qianqing Palace.
The responsibility for this matter primarily fell on Liang Heng.
