After dressing, Lu Chen grabbed something to eat in Murong Xue'er's room to replenish the energy he had expended the night before and then made his way to the Hall of Political Affairs.
Today's imperial court meeting was presided over by Lu Chen. Although he was the Emperor, he had developed a habit: if he was hosting a court meeting, he would always run through what he intended to say in his mind before the session.
In doing so, he could express his thoughts smoothly and clearly during the meeting, and it would also help to shorten the duration of the meeting.
When Lu Chen arrived at the Hall of Political Affairs, he found that many ministers had already gathered there. Though the court meeting required attendance only at the appointed time, the ministers of the imperial court did not dare to make the Emperor wait for them, so most of them rose very early, except for a few who was delayed for some reason.
