1 June, 4374

TIAN'AN, Han -- The Emperor has issued a decree that 1,000 servants and staff within the Imperial Palace would be fired for their lack of submission to the Emperor's edict in support of the Crown Prince's engagement to commoner Kwan Jiang. Most notably, Chief Secretary of the Imperial Household Agency Xi Huanyu has been relieved. All specified servants and staff in the edict were demanded to leave the Imperial Palace within three hours. Despite this, some 100 servants reportedly protested outside of the Hall of Harmony. Officers from the National Police Agency were required to remove some individuals from the Palace.
