Chapter 646: Sacrifice Location

Li Yu'an had only read these two books less than twice in total, but now that His Majesty had asked, he couldn't refuse. He had to take the two books from His Majesty and look through the parts that confused him when he read them for the first time.

"Your Majesty, when I first read this passage, I couldn't understand the meaning behind it. After reading several related ancient books, I gradually understood the profound meaning behind your Majesty's writing."

Liang Chongyue followed Li Yu'an's words and looked at the place where he pointed. Written there were the most common mistakes made when building canals. She couldn't understand it when she saw it for the first time. It was only after she asked the system to check the information that she slowly realized the reason.

"If Your Majesty starts from here and sets questions, I think there will be unexpected gains."

In the past, the imperial examinations also adapted to the situation and included the issues that the country needed to solve most in the last few questions.

Li Yu'an spent quite some time, openly finding out all the parts he didn't understand, and showed them to His Majesty one by one.

The two chatted from noon until sunset, and the sky outside turned orange. Li Yu'an originally just wanted to talk to His Majesty about his confusion, but he didn't want to listen to His Majesty's explanation. Time slipped away from them quickly like a silent wind.

"I didn't understand these questions the first time I read them. It will take some effort to fully understand them. This is just my humble opinion. Please forgive me for laughing at you, Your Majesty."

Hearing Li Yu'an's self-deprecation, Liang Chongyue paused as she took the book from his hand, smiled, and gently patted the back of his hand.

"Before even reaching adulthood, he's already achieved top three rankings and secured the position of Grand Master. Yu'an is truly humble."

Who is Li Yu'an? Daxia has never produced another chosen scholar like him.

Liang Chongyue was used to Li Yu'an's modesty and kept in mind what he had just mentioned. She didn't want Li Yu'an to ask questions directly, but after several conversations just now, she had an idea in her mind.

"Your Majesty, the sun is setting outside. Please stay and have dinner with us."

Liang Chongyue was sitting at the desk in Kunning Palace, thinking. In response to Li Yu'an's question, he just waved his hand and let him do whatever he wanted.

By the time dinner was served, the system had already recorded all the disputes they had just discussed and sent them to her panel.

Looking at the concise and complete record, Liang Chongyue discovered another outstanding feature of the system.

"Your Majesty, please have your meal first. We can still look at these things later."

As smart as Li Yu'an is, he has already guessed that His Majesty is going to select topics for next year's spring examination, but the harem cannot interfere in politics, even if he used to be the Prince's Grand Tutor.

"After listening to Yu'an's words today, I have come to understand many things. With a husband like this, I don't know how much less worries I will have in my life."

When Li Yu'an heard this, the smile on his face was happy and faintly rippled, like a little beast that found pleasure in falling in love and was unwilling to even struggle.

"This is what I should do. Your Majesty, please come and have your meal."

Today, Liang Chongyue has been praising Li Yu'an in various ways. She could feel that during dinner today, Li Yu'an was more attentive in serving her food than before.

After dinner and completing the tasks, Liang Chongyue left Kunning Palace on the dragon chariot, feeling a little uncomfortable in his lower back. Wasn't Li Yu'an physically disabled but strong-willed in the first half of his life?

After she recovered, she felt like a calf and her waist ached from exhaustion.

After returning to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Liang Chongyue placed the pile of manuscripts he brought back from the Palace of Kunning on the dragon table, then washed up and went to bed. The next morning, after going to bed early and getting up early, Liang Chongyue felt refreshed.

At the morning court, Ping An just finished shouting:

"When there is something to do, we will start to act, but when there is nothing to do, we will retreat."

Li Wen walked out of the team.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Liang Chongyue sat on the dragon throne, the jade curtain hanging from the jade crown on her head covered her deep eyes and also blocked many sharp glances.

"Lord Li, please speak up if you have anything to say."

The bruises under Li Wen's eyes seemed to be more serious. He wondered how many sleepless nights he had stayed up this time.

"Your Majesty, I have consulted the Imperial Astronomical Observatory and selected a date for Your Majesty to pray for rain for the people of North China. Ten days from now is the best day within two months. The Imperial Astronomical Observatory has also calculated the location, and Daxiangguo Temple is the most suitable place for the sacrifice."

After Li Wen finished speaking, he took sick leave and did not attend court for a long time. The Imperial Observatory, which had always been mysterious, also came out from the side and saluted Liang Chongyue without saying anything. Just standing there was already giving the greatest affirmation to Li Wen's words.

"Then let's do as you wish, my dear. I haven't been to Xiangguo Temple for a long time. The incense there is the most prosperous, and I think it's the place where the ears of the gods can reach the fastest."

After Liang Chongyue finished speaking, the ministers below nodded in agreement. As the Minister of Rites, Li Wen should have been in charge of such matters personally. However, Liang Chongyue saw that the court robes that originally fit him were a little loose on him, and his face did not look healthy. In order for him to serve her and Daxia for a longer period of time, Liang Chongyue still spoke out to comfort him:

"Government affairs are arduous and cannot be accomplished by one person in one day. Lord Li, please take care of your health. My court cannot do without you."

If Li Wen died in office, Liang Chongyue would not be able to find anyone to replace him for a while.

Although Zhou Xuan is a good candidate, she is still inexperienced and has a lot to learn, unlike Li Wen, who can be used right away.

"I thank Your Majesty for your concern. I will take good care of my health and serve Your Majesty and Daxia loyally for a hundred years."

Although Li Wen said this, Liang Chongyue was still a little worried and said to Ping An beside him:

"After the court session, send the imperial physician to give him a thorough examination."

Ping'an bowed in response. When the officials standing below saw this scene, they looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that Lord Li's position in His Majesty's heart, at least for now, was truly unmatched in the court.

The positions of several chancellors have been replaced. Since Lord Li has been favored by His Majesty, some people always turn their attention to the other chancellors. They are all chancellors, and they were all promoted by His Majesty himself. The degree of importance attached to them is obvious, and people can't help but talk about them.

"This is the first time I've seen His Majesty show such concern for anyone at the morning court. They're all Shangshu. Lord Li's great favor is truly the greatest in the court."

"That's right. Minister Fan of the Ministry of Revenue was originally just a small fourth-rank official. But because of an article he wrote, he was remembered by His Majesty and rose to prominence overnight, becoming the Minister of Revenue. I thought he would be the one favored by His Majesty, but he is still young and inexperienced."

Liang Chongyue had amazing hearing. The people who said this were some royal relatives who held honorary posts in the court and were blessed with privileges. They did not rely on such a meager salary to support themselves, so they were a little outspoken in the court.

Liang Chongyue's eyes swept over these people. After feeling the gaze from above, he immediately stopped talking and didn't dare to say anything else.
