Yang Zhenshan showed a look of astonishment.
Just now, he was preoccupied with the old Emperor's serious illness, which could lead to his demise at any moment, and overlooked this information.
Why should Prince Cheng and Prince Gong be allowed to observe the court proceedings?
If it were only the Crown Prince supervising the nation, there would be no problem. With the Emperor severely ill, it is natural for the Crown Prince to handle the state affairs, but having Prince Cheng and Prince Gong observe the court gave them an opportunity, didn't it?
The old Emperor was not a foolish man. He had always been preparing for the succession of the throne. Logically, at this time, he should firmly support the Crown Prince to ensure that after his demise, the imperial power would smoothly transition to the new Emperor.
It would have been proper for Prince Cheng and Prince Gong to remain in their fiefs, so why allow them to observe the court proceedings?
