Early September,
It was the Empress Dowager of the Great Jin Nation's 72nd birthday, and the Great Jin Nation had always governed the world with filial piety. On that day, the Emperor decreed a general amnesty throughout the Great Jin Nation. Government offices would not accept any criminal cases for ten days. Prisoners scheduled to be executed this month would be delayed until the next month. The entire populace was forbidden from wearing plain-colored clothes, and even the lower-ranked officials had to set up an incense table in their local government office to bow in the direction of the Capital and wish for the Empress Dowager's longevity.
When Nangong Yi ascended the throne, there were rumors in the capital that the current Emperor was on bad terms with the Empress Dowager. However, seeing the Emperor make such a grand spectacle to celebrate the Empress Dowager's birthday, those rumors were self-defeating!
