Great Zhou Imperial Palace.
Inside the resplendent Council Hall.
Opulent and solemn.
The court officials had just received news: Great Yuan was attacking, had breached the border, and was sweeping towards the direction of the Great Zhou Capital.
At this moment, the air inside the Council Hall felt so heavy it seemed to have solidified.
The atmosphere was tense.
Court ministers gathered to discuss strategies, but the veteran court officials, sitting in their chairs with furrowed brows, felt utterly powerless.
"Great Yuan dares to kick us when we're down. At this critical junction, they employ their troops against our Great Zhou."
"With His Majesty absent, and possibly… With no new sovereign on the throne, what should we do to stop Great Yuan?"
"It's a difficult situation, I propose we let the Crown Prince temporarily take charge and decide on his enthronement at a later date."
The court officials discussed among themselves.
