Since the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, Emperor Jing became increasingly wary of the princes and repeatedly tried to weaken the power of each kingdom, but with little success.
The rules set by Emperor Gaozu stipulated that the princes had independent political and military rights and could raise troops within their kingdoms. This was a thorn in Emperor Jing's side, but he had no good solution.
For the crown prince's wedding, all the princes were summoned to the capital.
From the beginning of February, teams carrying gifts arrived one after another, and carriages entered Chang'an one after another. Not to mention the powerful vassal states, even the gifts sent by the King of Dai, who was enfeoffed in the border area, were equally valuable, and the people of Chang'an were feasting their eyes.
Looking at all the kingdoms, apart from the King of Liang, the King of Lu, the King of Jiangdu and the King of Jiaoxi sent the most gifts.
