There were 134 yamens in the capital of great Feng. Excluding those who did not have official positions and those from the military system, there were tens of thousands of officials who ate from the official's family.
Among them, only one-tenth could attend the morning court, and the officials, nobles, and members of the imperial family who could enter the throne room to speak directly with the Emperor were at most a hundred people.
The civil and military officials who had been waiting outside the meridian Gate since Yin hour had gathered in twos and threes, and were talking about some family matters.
"Your Majesty has been more diligent in attending court recently."
"The capital investigation is near."
"Last year, the Emperor was not so diligent."
"Naturally, it's because of the Sang Bo case. Sigh, it's such an eventful period. His Majesty is going to lose his temper today, so don't get on his bad side."
