The Eastern Palace was named Changle, serving as the residence of the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince's Pavilion.

Political Affairs Hall, Military Affairs Hall—all state affairs could not bypass him. Even during the struggle for dominance with Qi Xia, his opinions contradicted those of Emperor Qi, and disputes over whether to engage in war or peace were at a stalemate across the court and political circles…
Of course, everyone knew the final outcome.
