Imperial Capital, Privy Council.
Before the constitutional amendment, the Privy Council was a specialized institution under the direct orders of the Emperor, responsible for conveying the Emperor's decrees in written form to the administrative departments of the Cabinet. After the amendment, the Privy Council became independent, taking charge of the Imperial seal and handling communications between the Imperial Family and the Cabinet. Now, it appears more like a conference department under the Cabinet. During the war, many top-secret military meetings were held here.
There was nothing surprising about this.
The so-called Privy Council was nothing more than a small courtyard south of the Imperial Palace gates, encircled by walls and guarded by the Imperial Palace Guard Army.
Even during peacetime, the security here was extremely tight.
