One day, Emperor Shunde had some rare leisure time and was listening to Princess Consort Duan play the zither.
The Eunuch, Eunuch Liu, came to report, "The Commander of the Jinyiwei, Zhai Jing, has sent in his token requesting an audience. He says the heir to the title of Elder Zhongyong has arrived in the Capital City."
Emperor Shunde was overjoyed. "Let him in!"
Outside the hall, Zhai Jing unbuckled his saber and strode in with his head held high.
In truth, unbuckling his saber wasn't necessary. Ever since the world was thrown into chaos by Demons, the emperors of every kingdom have had at least one Immortal Master Tributor attending them at all times.
If someone could harm the Emperor with a mortal weapon in the presence of an Immortal Master Tributor... well, with that kind of power, it wouldn't matter whether they were carrying a sword or not.
Emperor Shunde had even decreed that certain important ministers could wear their swords into the hall.
