After enquiring about the Great Hunt to Caretaker Shi, Ren Baqian finally had some idea about it.
Such a hunting season was originally a tradition of the aboriginals. Now that a city had been built, many commoners were no longer required to do this.
However, every year the city would still hold it once. Those who participated in it were the sons of the court officials. They could show their faces and display their capabilities in front of the empress. The empress would then observe whether or not they were outstanding.
In the past, the envoys from various countries would also be invited to the Great Hunt, allowing them to witness the capabilities of the aboriginal young men. After the event, the envoys would be sent back to their countries.
This had already become a custom.
