Chapter 1129 I will inherit everything from my mother
The next morning at court, Liang Chongyue sat on the dragon throne, listening to the ministers below discussing Chai Shuo's promotion to Minister of Rites.
She's already used to it.
She thought the vitality and energy in the imperial court was quite good.
As long as these ministers can clearly distinguish between political affairs.
A few words exchanged over trivial matters are harmless.
“Your Majesty, I believe that Minister Chai is still young and inexperienced. How can he be qualified to serve as Minister of Rites?”
"Your Majesty, I agree."
In the imperial court, everyone knew that His Majesty was giving a high honor to the Duke of Dingguo.
Otherwise, the Vice Minister of Rites' political achievements would not be inferior to those of Lord Chai, and he would be even more knowledgeable about the affairs of the Ministry of Rites.
Even if we consider seniority, he should be ranked as a Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites.
Chai Shuo was also aware of this. Ever since he received the imperial decree yesterday, he had heard people talking about him living off the Duke's money on his way home.
But he didn't care.
He has worked hard all these years, while others can't even get to eat what he wants.
Liang Chongyue sat quietly and listened. After arguing for a while, the ministers calmed down on their own.
He simply wanted to test her limits.
Furthermore, the Vice Minister of Rites was another, even better candidate in their eyes.
Liang Chongyue, however, did not think it was that good.
She had never heard of this person from Li Wen.
Li Wen was good at using people.
When mistakes are made, someone else takes the blame; he readily uses his subordinates' schemes whenever necessary.
Under these circumstances, she had never heard of this person's name from Li Wen.
Then there is only one possibility.
Too moderate.
Li Wen was so moderate that he was probably afraid that if he were to pass the buck, the person would be killed by the pot.
When such a person follows a wise leader, moderation becomes a positive trait.
But he was absolutely incapable of managing the Ministry of Rites, a department with complex relationships and personal connections.
Moreover, Liang Chongyue knew that these people chose to push this person forward because he was also an official in the court.
They were all too familiar with each other.
The other party has the weaknesses and leverage over us.
Liang Chongyue remained calm and collected, fully aware of these ulterior motives.
Listening to the officials arguing, Liang Chongyue's gaze swept across the crowd below, with Chai Shuo at the center of the storm of public opinion.
It's no longer possible to stand in the court and remain neutral on everything as before.
Xiang Zheng shouldn't get too involved in this matter.
All I could do was stand by and watch.
In the instant their eyes met, Liang Chongyue saw an awkward, ingratiating smile in Xiang Zheng's eyes.
Liang Chongyue looked away and opened the panel to take a look.
She's used to the arguments that have been going on; once it's over, she leaves.
The court officials argued incessantly in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, but some with sharp eyes noticed His Majesty's indifferent attitude and then restrained their emotions.
Only when the sunlight streamed into the main hall of the Hall of Supreme Harmony did Liang Chongyue turn off the control panel.
After rising, he addressed the ministers who were resting below:
"That's all for today. If any of you gentlemen have anything else to report, please write it down in your memorials and submit them."
After giving his instructions, Liang Chongyue left the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
After she left, the arguments in the court subsided considerably.
It's obvious I'm just arguing with her.
Liang Chongyue arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and soon after, Xiang Zheng and Chai Shuo followed.
"Your Majesty, the Duke of Dingguo and Lord Chai are waiting outside."
Liang Chongyue casually tossed the memorial in his hand aside.
"Let them in."
Liang Chongyue was grinding ink himself; the ink stick was one that Minglang had just sent back.
It's said to be a local specialty, and it has a faint fragrance when you grind the ink.
"Your subject Xiang Zheng greets Your Majesty."
"Your subject, Chai Shuo, pays his respects to Your Majesty."
Liang Chongyue responded, and as soon as she raised her hand, a palace servant brought over two chairs.
"sit down."
Liang Chongyue continued grinding ink, her hands never stopping.
"Your Majesty, I have come here today specifically to express my gratitude for your appreciation. I will certainly handle all matters concerning the Ministry of Rites well and will not cause Your Majesty any trouble."
This was exactly the answer Liang Chongyue wanted.
"If you don't perform well, I will replace you at any time."
Chai Shuo knew in his heart that without the Duke, the position of Minister of Rites would never have fallen to him.
"Yes, Your Majesty understands."
Liang Chongyue smelled the faint fragrance emanating from the ink block.
It's really good, but it's a little different from what Minglang described in his letter.
After grinding the ink, Liang Chongyue looked up at Xiang Zheng.
"What business do you have with me today?"
As Xiang Zheng smiled and got up, passing by Chai Shuo, Chai Shuo hurriedly handed her something.
Liang Chongyue turned her head to look at the two people.
"What? You've come to bribe me?"
Xiang Zheng handed the items over.
Liang Chongyue glanced at it and then accepted it.
"I really like this gift; it's very thoughtful."
Xiang Zheng knew that His Majesty lacked nothing, but there was one thing he always wanted more of.
"If Your Majesty is pleased, then there is nothing else. I will take my family back first, and I will send the two children back the day after tomorrow."
Liang Chongyue then began to scrutinize Xiang Zheng's face closely.
"Why do you seem so tired after only a few days?"
With a polite smile, Xiang Zheng brushed the matter off and then left with Chai Shuo.
There was clearly something interesting going on here, and Liang Chongyue glanced at the system watching the spectacle from the side.
It has already seen that the system has opened the panel.
The image that appeared on the panel was the map of the new mine that Xiang Zheng had just given her.
"Go and investigate this matter for me."
When there's something entertaining to watch, the system is more proactive than anyone else.
They immediately started searching and replaying what had happened to Sister Xiangzheng during this period.
After Liang Chongyue waited a while, the system sent over the integrated data.
Looking at the scene above, Xiang Zheng and Chai Shuo were being tormented by Xiang Sheng and Xiang Yu.
The smile on Liang Chongyue's lips never faded.
These two have actually met their match.
The scrolling images on the panel showed a stark contrast to Xiang Sheng's usual composure and calmness in the palace.
Just as mischievous as Xiang Yu, he was also a free spirit, yet his usually aloof and reserved face was now adorned with a carefree smile.
It doesn't make people feel uncomfortable; they just hope she can continue to laugh so freely.
"Host, is Xiang Sheng what you humans often call someone who is a bit too calculating?"
The panel now follows the system wherever it goes.
And so that Liang Chongyue could easily see the news when it arrived.
The system panel is now open to Liang Chongyue.
Liang Chongyue raised her hand and waved away her panel, then smiled helplessly.
"Such a big thing happened in the Duke of Dingguo's mansion. Xiang Sheng is Xiang Zheng's heir. It's not a bad thing that he is thoughtful."
Liang Chongyue recalled the scene she had seen before the panel was swept away.
Xiang Yu was instructed by Xiang Sheng to tease Chai Shuo.
After being caught by Chai Shuo, Xiang Sheng stood aside and watched Xiang Yu get beaten.
A sentence suddenly came to mind: I will inherit everything from my mother, including you, my foolish brother.
In fact, Xiang Sheng's plan was practically flawless.
Unfortunately, the biggest flaw in this plan was that the person in charge was Xiang Yu.
This immediately labeled the perfect plan as potentially doomed to failure.
