Prime Minister of Guanglu.
The ministries of Guanglu Si, Taichang Si, Ministry of Rites, and Honglu Si had numerous officials lining up outside the hall of mourning to offer their condolences.
Although these four departments belong to different government offices, they often need to cooperate with each other during court sessions and various ceremonial affairs. Most officials from these departments were familiar with one another and came to offer their respects upon hearing of the Prime Minister of Guanglu's death.
Prime Minister Wu Zongguang, who became an Advanced Scholar in the eighteenth year of Zhisheng, had climbed from the Ninth Grade to the Secondary Fifth Rank in sixteen years—a pace that was not slow and promised a limitless future.
Had he lived another twenty years, he might have retired from a Standard Fourth Rank position.
Sadly, he died young—for not even forty, succumbing to illness—truly a cause for deep regret.
"Mrs. Wu, please accept my condolences!"
