Chapter 578: Imperial Decree to Confer the Empress
The strong fragrance of Manhong wafted between the two of them. Li Yu'an always appeared calm and composed in front of outsiders, and he did not show any sign of panic even when he was terminally ill.
Liang Chongyue only conferred the title of king on He Yanting. Li Yu'an was very smart and he would definitely understand what she meant.
Liang Chongyue was not in a hurry to reply to Li Yu'an. His physical monitoring report had always been kept in her backpack and was updated in real time every day.
Although Li Yu'an's health has recovered, it is difficult to replenish the damage he suffered in the past. His life span is not long. If he is crowned as a queen, she will have to train a new person after he dies.
If Li Yu'an was in better health, she wouldn't be so worried.
"I know my life span is short. When I reach my twilight years, I will cultivate a new wife for Your Majesty and will not cause Your Majesty any trouble."
Li Yu'an spoke bluntly and frankly. He was wearing a blue robe with gold thread patterns, and his every move was full of gentleness and elegance. However, he tore off this most perfect appearance in front of her, and would rather exchange his unbearable and broken side for a trace of her pity. At this moment, he did not care about the elegance he had maintained in the past.
"Your Majesty is in need of an obedient and sensible queen. I am qualified and the most suitable candidate."
Li Yu'an used to love looking into her eyes and talking to her. His eyes always carried a longing for this world and a hint of sadness. It was more like he wanted to remember her every frown and smile in his heart, so that he could recall her memories when he was alone.
Now he lowered his head with his hands placed obediently on his knees. The robe he had grabbed was wrinkled, and because of the force applied to his hands, the joints were noticeably bluish-white.
"With a husband like this, what else do I have to worry about?"
Liang Chongyue smiled lightly, and her cold voice became a little hoarse due to drinking too much in the past few days, and it sounded even more oppressive.
Even though he had already expected that His Majesty would agree to make him the queen after hearing his proposal, but when the word "husband" came out of His Majesty's mouth, Li Yu'an couldn't help but look up in surprise and look into His Majesty's eyes.
"Your Majesty, are you serious?"
Liang Chongyue was born to be an emperor, but that didn't affect her understanding of Li Yu'an's surprise and loss of composure at that moment.
In the past, the number of concubines in the scumbag father's harem was almost as many as the stars in the sky. No one wanted to sit on the throne of queen. Some did it for power, some did it for love, and they all just wanted to be the scumbag father's legitimate wife.
"My words are as good as gold. Why don't you kneel down and thank me?"
Liang Chongyue raised the end of his eyebrows slightly, and Li Yu'an's face was filled with unconcealable joy. When he stood up, he almost stepped on his robe and fell in front of Liang Chongyue.
Fortunately, Liang Chongyue reached out to help him, so he didn't make a fool of himself in front of the emperor.
"I thank Your Majesty for your grace. This is the blessing of my life. I will follow the example of virtue and put the country first. I will devote all my energy to assisting Your Majesty and pray for peace and prosperity for our country and our people."
That night, the imperial edict that Grand Tutor Li had requested to be dismissed from his post and was enthroned as the emperor spread throughout the capital.
Whether in the palace or in the capital, the most discussed issue was whether Prince Bao was the child of Grand Tutor Li.
Such gossip would naturally not reach Liang Chongyue's ears. It had been blocked by Ping'an and Xiao Lizi long ago. In addition, those who gossiped would be punished within an hour.
Your Majesty's affairs are not something they can discuss casually.
"Your Majesty, your coronation ceremony has only been over for a few days. If we hold another ceremony to confer titles on the king and queen in such a short time, I'm afraid the national treasury will not be able to afford it."
The Minister of Rites, who had just taken office not long ago, stood in the Hall of Mental Cultivation with all the registered expenses of the coronation ceremony, with his head lowered, and even his breathing was slowed down. His Majesty had just ascended the throne, and he had only been on the throne for a few days. He didn't know what kind of personality his Majesty had, and he couldn't bear to offend his Majesty.
"According to custom, we should do what needs to be done. I don't confer a title of empress every year. If you don't have money, go to the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Justice. They will solve these problems."
The Minister of Rites wanted to say something more, but the Emperor had already waved his hand and asked him to leave. He didn't dare to say anything more and could only leave the same way he came in, holding the book.
Liang Chongyue and the others left without even raising her head. Reviewing these memorials gave her a headache. In the short time she had just been chatting with the Minister of Rites, she had picked out two memorials that were obviously perfunctory.
He casually threw it under the dragon table:
"Send it to the Ministry of Revenue. If the treasury doesn't have money, we'll extort it from these wealthy and idle ministers. If we can't extort it, we'll just embezzle it."
Ping'an took a few steps forward and picked up the memorials that His Majesty had thrown on the ground one by one. In one morning, His Majesty had thrown away ten memorials. It seemed that the preparations for the enthronement ceremony of the emperor and empress would begin soon.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will do it right away."
Ping'an walked out of the Yangxin Palace holding the memorial in his hand and exchanged a glance with Xiao Lizi who had been guarding outside. Xiao Lizi immediately understood and went into the palace to take over the guard shift with Ping'an.
Although Aunt Yunling is in the palace, they still have to do the errands. His Majesty can't bear to leave Aunt Yunling.
At noon, Li Yu'an came to ask for a meeting with his mother, bringing the lunch that had just been prepared in the Cining Palace. Since his mother was still in the Duke's Mansion, the small kitchen became Li Yu'an's place to cook.
Liang Chongyue did not stop it. The imperial edict had been issued. All that was left was a coronation ceremony. Li Yu'an would be her rightful queen. Her mother also liked him. She did not take this little matter to heart.
Li Yu'an is a sensible person. He knows what he should do and what he should not do.
"Your Majesty's coronation ceremony has just passed, and the national treasury must be under strain. I think the ceremony of crowning the empress can be kept simple. Originally, all I wanted was to be able to stay by Your Majesty's side forever."
Not only His Majesty's coronation ceremony, but also the late emperor's death ceremony, the national treasury has spent a lot in just one month.
No matter how rich the national treasury is, it cannot withstand three consecutive national celebrations within a month.
Li Yu'an had already figured it out when he came to ask for His Majesty's grace the other day. As long as he could have a status and stay by His Majesty's side, he didn't care about these empty things.
Liang Chongyue had just washed her hands and sat down watching Li Yu'an serve her food. She looked like a good wife, gentle and virtuous.
"I will give you everything I deserve. You don't need to worry about these things. Tomorrow, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will go and make you some clothes. Just dress yourself nicely."
Ever since her scumbag father handed the national treasury over to her, she was the only one who knew how much money was in the treasury. Now, it seemed that the national treasury had been emptied by the two grand ceremonies.
These are just what she wants others to see. She cannot let the ministers know that there is money in the treasury, otherwise all kinds of natural and man-made disasters will come.
Within a year, the national treasury was completely emptied.
In comparison, how much would it cost to hold a ceremony to crown Li Yu'an as queen? She would never let those around her down by giving what she could.
