Up until this point, the first court session of Tianxu year 15, under Xuan Emperor’s approval of the Ying Duke’s request and the imperial decree ordering the Central Secretariat and the Inner Cabinet to further settle on the details, closed its curtains.
Of course, in regards to what Cheng Yanling presented, as well as what the Ying Duke reported, everything was just the start, or rather the trigger, to the reformation of the military regulations and the conflicts of the succession battle.
On the seventeenth of the first month, an urgent memorandum from the Chen province once again entered the capital. It was Old General Qii’s memorandum from his sickbed.
And although Qii Feng had gotten captured alive and sent to the Judicial Court, Qii Feng’s mother, Madam Qii, Tong-shi, as well as Tong-shi’s maiden family all protested their innocence and raised a countercharge, expressing that they don’t recognize this so-called ‘Qii Feng’ that got sent in, and that the real Qii Feng had already died on the battlefield, sacrificing his life for the country, and so on.
The Judicial Court, Ministry of Justice, and Ministry of War jointly held the hearing, so naturally need to collect evidence from many sides. While the rest of the Qii family were rushing to the capital to defend and explain themselves, the Judicial Court also requested a decree from Xuan Emperor, sending people to the Chen province to further catch or gather testimonies, material evidences, and such.
And upon the imperial court, although it wasn’t good to re-discuss the matter before the Judicial Court’s three party hearing yielded results, regarding the matter of the female generals and female soldiers that the Ying Duke mentioned, the controversy was still very big. And towards Cheng Yanling’s memorandum of letting the descendants of military families participate in the army training, the backlash was even greater.

This is an odd request but would it be possible to make the amount of preview text shorter? Right the “this is a preview” text is a scroll or 2 down on mobile so you end up reading a decent amount before realizing you can’t get to the rest.
But it says teaser in the title 🤔
