Chapter 274: The Seven Deadly Sins
...
The morning assembly of the Shangjing Immortal Dynasty is divided into the grand assembly and the small assembly.
The small assembly is attended only by the "capital officials" of Changning City and its neighboring counties, held once every three days. The grand assembly, on the other hand, involves main local officials from various regions and is held once a month.
Today is a small assembly day.
The main local officials of Changning City and its neighboring counties gather in the Celestial Will Hall.
The dragon chair, symbolizing the highest power of Shangjing, is empty. A group of officials known as "cabinet advisors" is lined up in two rows on a square platform below the dragon chair. When the Immortal Emperor does not attend, it is this group of cabinet advisors who preside over the assembly. They usually hold a cabinet meeting first to decide on the main topics of the assembly.
