By 7 AM, the sky was already bright, and the officials at the early court were all present.
The early court of Great Zhou was not like in Jiang Li's previous ancient life, where one had to leave home before dawn; the world of cultivation naturally has its conveniences, reducing some unnecessary procedures. However, even in Great Zhou, around 7 AM, the early court was generally drawing to a close or even ending, with officials returning to their posts—some pretending to work, others genuinely doing so.
But today, by 7 AM, the officials were still standing quietly without a word.
This was because two key figures had not yet arrived.
— The Gongsun Family Master and the newly appointed Minister of Works.
Without these two, the early court could not truly begin.
From the current situation, it seemed the newly appointed Minister of Works was possibly trying to assert his authority.
But this assertion of authority was taking far too long.
