At the beginning of the Chen hour, the early morning court session began.
Last night, the emperor reviewed memorials until midnight. After going to bed, he kept dreaming and didn't sleep well in the latter half of the night. He felt quite lethargic upon waking up in the morning.
At this moment, he was sitting on the dragon throne, resting his right hand on his face, with his elbow on the armrest, lying sideways on the throne without any proper sitting or lying posture.
The emperor frequently opened his mouth wide to yawn, lacking any imperial demeanor.
Prime Minister He and several senior ministers stepped forward one by one to report important matters.
The emperor listened drowsily. He waved his hand casually, indicating that he understood.
After Prime Minister He and the others finished reporting important matters, the Imperial Censor stepped forward to impeach Prince Dai.
The Imperial Censor had a strong voice, loud enough to startle the emperor, who was nearly asleep.
