Not only the officials, but also the clerks have many problems.
"Your Majesty, it's already midnight, you should rest." The palace maid came over and urged Zhao Qingrui to rest.
"Please step back. I'll sit for a while." Zhao Qingrui said lightly.
On the second day, Zhao Qingrui met with the officials here. Zhao Qingrui swept his eyes over these officials and memorized their faces in his mind.
