Chapter 179
A blessing from your ancestors


Tbh, I’m a bit loopy from being mildly but annoyingly sick for the last few weeks, so let’s keep it brief.
The boxes were a real thing! They were actually introduced around five years earlier, but other than that, the purpose and the divisions are true to history. I had to shorten the descriptions in some places, so here’s a rundown again.
“Everlasting grace” - for submitting your own writing, essentially, and so recommending yourself to the palace for some kind of official promotion.
“Suggestions wanted” - more precisely for commentary on the current state of the government affairs, its successes and failures.
“Right wrongs” - the most self-explanatory one, complain if you’ve been wronged.
“Profound matters” - celestial phenomena, disasters, military secrets, plots, etc. The thinking behind grouping those together was that reporting all those requires a certain degree of wisdom.
