The Ministry of Rites welcomed a new official.
This term's top scholar, the son of the Minister of Justice, the designated Prince Consort to Princess Anning, currently serves as Assistant Minister of Rites.
This is not four people, but one.
The Imperial Examination had long concluded, and the appointment of the new Advanced Scholars had already been issued.
The Ministry of Rites, inherently busy, and the Assistant Minister of Rites, handling practical matters, could say that his duties were hectic, managing numerous affairs every day, indispensable even for a single day.
Although the court set the final appointment period as July, being an Advanced Scholar born in Chang'an, he should have taken up his position early to help Minister share the workload. Yet, this new Assistant Minister of Rites had still not arrived, which was simply outrageous.
Moreover, his visit to the Ministry of Rites wasn't even for his official posting.
