The imperial palace, at the throne room.
"The court session has come to an end, the Emperor is leaving. play the music!!" a short eunuch dressed in navy blue robes, standing below the upraised throne announced.
As soon as the announcement was made the eunuchs playing the large music instruments began to hit the drums and flutes. Meanwhile, the officials and minister's present for the court session all knelt and raising their white slim plank bowed.
Everyone present except for the Emperor all chorused "Sending His majesty off, long line the Emperor, Long live the Emperor, Long live the Emperor!!!"
The Emperor stood, got down from the throne and walked out of the room. He passed through the center of the room, walked down the long red carpet that led to the door. The Emperor's retinue of ten guards, twelve Eunuchs and four imperial secretaries followed him out.
