The memorial was presented by Bai Shan. They arrived at the palace a day earlier, not only to check where they would be working for the next two months, but also to sort the incoming memorials, mark them, and then submit them to the Emperor.
The Emperor put down his teacup, casually picked up the memorial at the top, and upon opening it, saw Yin Li reporting the drought and summer heat situation in the capital region.
The Emperor felt thirsty again, set down the memorial, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and looked outside, "How is everyone doing with tidying up?"
Seeing the Emperor unable to sit still, Gu Zhong smiled and said, "There's quite a commotion. Would Your Majesty like to take a look?"
The Emperor hesitated, fiddled with the memorial for a while, and realized he couldn't calm down. So he threw down the memorial and said, "Let's go, see how everyone is tidying up. Today's heat is intense, and my dear ministers are moving under the hot sun; let's not tire them out."
