On the second morning, Wanyan Sheng, barely drunk, arrived at the court hall, where all the civil and military officials were already waiting.
Many of the Jin Dynasty's imperial systems were copied from the Song Dynasty's rules, but they were relatively loose.
But there was another eunuch who followed suit and shouted: "The Emperor has arrived, and all the ministers are here to hear his presence early."
This time, no ministers knelt to pay their respects. Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Ang, the two at the front, glanced at each other, then climbed the steps and ran towards Wanyan Sheng.
Wanyan Sheng was shocked, wondering if these two were planning a rebellion. He was so frightened that he almost fell off his chair and pointed at them, "You, what do you want to do?"
