Chapter 468 Urgent Message, The Sudden Promotion

Yang Zhenshan did not go out to bid farewell to Yang Mingcheng; he sat in his study, pondering over the situation in the Capital City.

Lately, Wu Zheng had sent several letters, all concerning affairs within the court.

At present, the court appeared stable; Emperor Yanping had finally quelled the restive elements among the courtiers.

Talks of the new Emperor lacking virtue had ceased, but this did not mean the incident's impact was at an end.

The death of Yi Lishen cost Emperor Yanping much popular support, while rumors of the new Emperor's lack of virtue diminished the Emperor's majesty.

Both matters had a profound impact on Emperor Yanping; though superficially imperceptible, they actually affected his control over the court.

Should similar incidents arise in the future, Emperor Yanping might completely lose his grip on the court.

Once the court slipped from control, the entire Da Rong might well descend into chaos.
