As everyone knows, the emperor holds the supreme power of the entire country.
This was especially true in Daxia. Not only did the emperor have to wake up at the third watch every day to review the memorials left over from the day before, but he also had to summon the ministers for morning court before even the fifth watch.
What's more, most court ministers in Daxia possessed some level of cultivation, so a few days without sleep didn't matter to them at all.
