In front of the court, a grand line of officials blocked the view.
All fourteen Ministers of the Ministry of Revenue were present – nearly doubling the usual number of ministers present in court.
In addition, many other ministers who were close also chose to attend court today.
This led to the total number of ministers being over two times the usual number.
Although the court technically had enough space to fit every minister and every official, after all, most of the time only a tenth of the court was used.
Now such a large amount of ministers required the servants to prepare. Fortunately most ministers informed the court yesterday or today in the morning, and their own servants also helped, so…
The court, which should've happened on time, didn't.
Ministers and officials looked oddly at the grand time monument to the side of the court and saw that it had been several minutes since the time had come, yet His Majesty the emperor was nowhere to be seen.
