The system recounted all the gossips that the host had heard while he was asleep.

Liang Chongyue sat by the window and suddenly found that it was snowing outside. He admired the snow and drank tea, while listening to the system complain about the injustice of the world.

"It's not just ordinary people who are being exploited in this world. The same routine is not uncommon in the Duke's family. What has happened cannot be changed, so don't take it to heart."

"But Lan Jue's father died on the battlefield. He and his sister are descendants of loyal martyrs. They shouldn't be treated like this."

The more the system thought about it, the more uncomfortable it felt. Ever since it followed the host to fight at the border, it had witnessed too many soldiers fighting to the death on the battlefield. In front of the host, it cursed the uncle and aunt who had occupied the Lan family's property and treated Lan Jue and his sister harshly, but it didn't feel much better.

Liang Chongyue casually picked up a book from the shelf next to him and flipped through it while silently enduring the system's verbal harassment.

Liang Chongyue quickly immersed himself in the book and didn't notice when the system sound stopped.

"Host."

The system's dog head suddenly came over, and Liang Chongyue pushed it away.

"I know about this matter."

After hearing what the host said, the system had an idea.

"I said the host was kindhearted and cared about the people the most, not to mention the Lan family, who were all loyal and brave. But in the end, they didn't get a good ending. Even I couldn't stand it, so how could the host tolerate it?"

The system was still chattering away, as if it wanted to tell her all the wrong things that Uncle and Aunt Lan Jue had done so that she could punish them severely.

Liang Chongyue silently turned down the volume. She stayed here to wait for Minglang to wake up, otherwise she would have left long ago.

"Stop barking, puppy."

A buzzing sound was heard, and Liang Chongyue and the system looked towards the small bed where Minglang was sleeping at the same time. Sure enough, they saw a small figure behind the bed curtain.

The system covered its mouth with its hand. It seemed that it couldn't help but growl twice when it was talking about something exciting, but it didn't expect to wake Minglang up.

Liang Chongyue put the book down, strode to the bed, held Minglang in his arms, and looked at her current body temperature.

Everything has returned to normal.

"Queen, the puppy is so noisy."

Liang Minglang leaned his head in the Queen Mother's arms. After a serious illness, his eyes had lost their former luster.

"It's the puppy's fault. The Queen will punish it by not letting it eat dinner at night."

The system knew that it was wrong, so it took small steps closer to Minglang and rubbed its head against her hand.

Minglang was amused by the furry feeling next to him.

"The queen is still being punished by the puppy. If it doesn't eat, it will bark all night long."

Although dinner was saved, the system always felt that there was something wrong with its image in Minglang's mind, and it was different from what it imagined.

The system stood there blankly. Liang Chongyue knew what it was thinking at a glance.

Liang Chongyue stayed with Minglang in the Cining Palace for another afternoon and one night. Fortunately, Minglang's fever had subsided, but he was a little clingy and didn't want to sleep in his own bed. He insisted on sleeping in the same bed with her.

After Liang Chongyue came out of the shower and changed her clothes, Minglang had also finished her preparations and was lying on the bed where she had slept since she was a child.

"Queen Mother, come quickly. I want to hear a story."

Before going to bed, Liang Chongyue took the book that Minglang had to listen to every night from Aunt Chunxiang. After sending away all the servants in the hall, Liang Chongyue hugged Minglang in his arms, turned to the part she had heard last time, and began to tell the story.

After coaxing Minglang to sleep again, Liang Chongyue turned her head to look at her peaceful smile, and recalled the past. Twenty years seemed like yesterday. Her mother also hugged her and coaxed her to sleep on this bed.

Now that she has Minglang, it is time for her to coax Minglang to sleep.

Liang Chongyue had a good sleep that night. The next day when he went to court, in order not to wake Minglang up, he got out of bed and changed his clothes carefully, and even went to the dining room for breakfast.

Inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Ping An stood beneath the dragon throne and shouted loudly to the civil and military officials filling the hall:

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

As soon as Ping An finished speaking, two people walked out from the two teams.

"I have something to report."

Two voices were heard at the same time. The Minister of Rites, who was standing in the front, looked back and saw that it was General Zhongwu.

When the latter saw him speak, they looked at each other, then lowered their heads and retreated first.

"Li Aiqing, please speak first."

Li Wen turned around after hearing this, bowed slightly, and said:

"This year marks the first year since Your Majesty ascended the throne. Your Majesty has made remarkable political achievements and countless military exploits. You deserve the tribute of all nations, but..."

Liang Chongyue knew what Li Wen was going to say. All the big countries or ethnic groups around Daxia had been destroyed by Liang Chongyue, and now they had all been integrated into Daxia's territory. All nations came to pay tribute, and the small ethnic groups around could not even pay annual tributes into Daxia's treasury. Naturally, they were not even qualified to enter the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the past.

"On the day of the celebration, a state banquet will be held. All those who come to pay homage are invited to come in and celebrate with me the peace in the world and the prosperity of the Great Xia nation."

Liang Chongyue's words were so arrogant. The world is peaceful only when Da Xia is at peace, and the country is rich and strong only when Da Xia is at peace.

"Your Majesty is holy."

There was a group of people kneeling in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Liang Chongyue raised the corners of his lips, satisfied with the scene before him.

As for the northern border that was destroyed by Liang Chongyue's troops, the two uncles said in the letter that they had completely controlled the situation in the northern border, and anyone who disobeyed would have a foot of snow on their grave.

"Your Majesty, what about the Northern Territory, Dai Viet, and Langwa?"

The state banquet was originally the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites. During this year, Li Wen was almost busy all the time. He also knew that His Majesty was busy with government affairs, so he just wanted to ask clearly once and for all to avoid bothering His Majesty again.

"Whoever comes will be invited to take a seat."

Liang Chongyue could already guess who would come to these three places.

Li Wen got what he wanted to know and bowed and left.

Liang Chongyue set his gaze on General Zhongwu who had just stood up with Li Wen.

"What's the matter, my dear?"

General Zhongwu raised his head, met His Majesty's majestic eyes hidden behind the pearl curtain, and walked to the front of the team.

"Your Majesty, when I was young, I lived with my mother for a long time in the ancestral home in the countryside of Cangzhou. Your Majesty's policy of supporting agriculture has even reached the border of Cangzhou, which shows how effective it is. Now that the rivers and seas are clear and the harvests are plentiful, and the border is peaceful, I have just returned to Beijing after reporting on my work at the border. I would like to return to Cangzhou and contribute my humble efforts to Your Majesty's policy of supporting agriculture."

Liang Chongyue has invested so much material and financial resources like water, so how could the agricultural support policy not be implemented well?

However, once a place is well developed, someone has to stay to guard it for at least a few years. Only when the people's lives are stable can they be promoted and return to Beijing.

She really needs someone new to fill the gap.

"Okay, I agree. Cangzhou is in need of talents like you. Your move has solved my urgent need. Please wait until after the New Year and leave. Stay in Beijing for another New Year."
