Lu Yuan waved his hand and said, "His Majesty the Emperor wants me to attend the morning court session, and I'll definitely be there. No need to arrange for a carriage. I'll have someone drive me to the Imperial City Gate. It'll be fine as long as a eunuch from the Imperial Capital is there to lead the way."

By driving, he wouldn't have to get up too early and could even sleep in a little.
To attend the morning court, ministers all got up at four in the morning. After getting dressed and washing up, they had to head for the Imperial Capital.
From the moment they woke up, the ministers wouldn't drink a single drop of water or eat a single grain of rice, terrified there wouldn't be a place to relieve themselves during the session.
It sounded simple, but it was actually very difficult.
