Judgment of Dayu.

Summary

The chapter details the aftermath of an assassination attempt on Dayu, following the death of Lang Wei Fu Chang Guan, which led to the Lang soldiers' defeat and capture. The Dayu palace guards suffered casualties, while most of the Lang officials involved in the assassination were killed or captured. The captured individuals, referred to as the "black-clad ones," were imprisoned, and their trials were held in Dayu's quarters. Interrogations revealed that the soldiers were incited by Lang Wei Fu Chang Guan, with claims of no direct involvement from Yi Di. Dayu and his advisors discussed Yi Di's potential culpability, recognizing that while he did not directly participate, he was aware of the assassination and could be seen as condoning it. They decided against pursuing immediate action against Yi Di to maintain stability in the court, suggesting a cleansing of the inner court personnel instead. Dayu resolved to restructure the inner court and sent a message to Yi Di, allowing him to choose a day for a meeting.
