Originally, the New Year holidays allowed for a seven-day pause in court sessions, but due to the Emperor's illness, court was adjourned for an additional three days. Thus, it was not until the tenth day of the new year that court reconvened, the Emperor having recovered from his sickness.
Early that morning, the court officials entered the palace, with the civil and military officers all present, except for two people: the Crown Prince and the Second Prince. Both were confined to their quarters, reflecting on their wrongdoings.
