Daybreak came quickly, and shortly after the night faded, the entirety of Daxing Palace was bathed in morning light.
Civil and military officials entered in single file through Hanguang Gate, proceeding along the corridor, passing through Chengtian Gate, and finally arriving outside Chengqing Hall on the west side of Taiji Palace, where they listened to the Chief Eunuch's announcements before entering one by one.
This was the place where Duke Sheng currently governed state affairs.
Just after 5 AM, several groups of officials had already reported on local documents. Yu Wenquan sat at the top, and after deliberations with several officials from the Secretariat and the Ministry, corresponding decisions were made. Documents were then drafted to be distributed to various places. Despite the many people and complex matters, there was no sign of chaos.
It was, in fact, faster and more efficient than when the Emperor handled state affairs.
