Translator's Note

The Da Li Si directly translates into the Temple of Great Reasoning, and is basically the ancient equivalent of the Supreme Court. I have translated this as the Dali Court instead of a temple, because the imagery a temple invokes is pretty different.

Translator's Note

Note that what Cai Yi actually said was “Don’t tire yourself out”, but it’s actually a warning not to try too hard to change the Emperor’s mind if he is really stubborn.

Translator's Note

Erchen is how the Imperial sons who are of age refer to themselves in front of their Father Emperor. Er means son, and chen means minister. Imperial princes who are of age usually are involved in affairs of state, which makes them Imperial Court officials.

Translator's Note

The sun, or yang, is associated with manhood.

  1. Dear Elanor, can I ask what is “Father Empress” in the original text? It just bugs me that I only know huang hou but how do you add the father in that word? Thank you in advance

  2. the sitting emperor is lucky he has loyal and smart people running the country because, to put it gently, he’s dumb as a rock

    • Actually. He can’t even think, like if everyone admits that they’re wrong just to please the emperor then there won’t be room for constructive criticism and balance. Also I feel bad that the eunuchs are being discriminated against but why are they the ones in charge of the imperial prison
