The princess is so powerful that the fish pond is full of people

Liang Chongyue took the long towel handed to her by Yunling and gently wiped Minglang's dripping hair.

Minglang sat obediently in front of her. Her facial expression could not be seen clearly. He was rubbing the system's head in deep thought.

"Queen Mother, get some rest early. I'll be going back first."

Liang Chongyue gave the used long towel to Yun Ling, and sat on the Arhat bed looking at the faint bruises appearing under Minglang's eyes.

"Sleep in the side hall of the Yangxin Palace tonight. Going back now will disturb your grandmother's rest."

Minglang thought for a moment and nodded:

"Then I'm sorry to bother the Queen Mother."

After Minglang left, Liang Chongyue also got up and went to bed:

"Puppy, go to the mall and buy some tonics suitable for Minglang. She has been working hard these days."

Tomorrow is the last day of the imperial examination. The system has backed up Fan Baojun's paper, and Liang Chongyue briefly flipped through it.

The writing is indeed mediocre. No wonder Fan Hun was so anxious to take action. It is understandable that he wanted to use the whole family's strength to support such a fool after having such a stupid grandson, and he was the only son in the family.

The next morning, when Liang Chongyue stepped out of the Yangxin Palace to attend court, Minglang also came out of the side hall. The sky was still dark, which looked a bit depressing.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live your Majesty."

Liang Chongyue reached out and helped Minglang up. Looking at the bruises under her eyes, she touched her face with some heartache.

"Today is the last day of the imperial examination. After another hard day, we will go and have dinner with Grandma Huang."

Minglang nodded obediently. Liang Chongyue stood under the eaves of the Yangxin Palace and watched Minglang's back as he walked away.

"Your Majesty, the time is almost up, it's time to go to court."

Ping An's reminder sounded beside him, and Liang Chongyue retracted his gaze and walked towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, all the officials were already waiting there. Liang Chongyue sat on the dragon throne with a normal expression, waiting for the officials to kowtow to him.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live your Majesty."

"My dear ministers, please stand up."

Liang Chongyue leaned back on the dragon throne, his eyes sweeping over the group of people without deliberately lingering, but this alone was enough to scare some people.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"Go ahead."

"Your Majesty, the spring rains in Jiangnan have been incessant. In places like Lin'an, the rain has not stopped for half a month. Farmland is flooded, and many houses downstream have been washed away. The rain continues unabated and appears to be getting heavier. I would like to ask Your Majesty to allocate some money to help the people settle down."

"This matter has been mentioned in the memorials submitted in the past few days. I have already ordered the Ministry of Revenue to allocate one million taels of silver for disaster relief in Lin'an and other places."

Liang Chongyue turned his gaze to Fan Hun:

"Lord Fan, how is this matter going?"

When Fan Hun was suddenly called by His Majesty, the tablet in his hand shook and almost fell to the ground.

Liang Chongyue saw his action and thought that this old guy was not afraid of being discovered because he dared to commit a crime, so he was scared like this just by calling him.

"Are you feeling unwell, Mr. Fan? I see you don't look well."

Fan Hun had done something wrong and his heart was in turmoil. When he heard the emperor's concern, sweat broke out on his forehead, almost as heavy as the rain in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Your Majesty, I am fine. The procedures for the silver that Your Majesty ordered have been completed and can be sent to Jiangnan today."

Liang Chongyue was lost in thought. Fan Hun felt uneasy and felt like there was air in his throat trying to come out. He couldn't help but burp.

"That's good. This matter concerns the people of Jiangnan. Lord Fan, please pay more attention to it."

"Yes, Your Majesty, rest assured. I have always been very caring towards the people. This batch of silver will definitely be the fastest to be delivered to Jiangnan by water."

Liang Chongyue just looked at him and smiled without saying anything. It was only when Fan Hun's hair stood on end that he spoke:

"Alright, if there's any loss from sending this batch of silver to Jiangnan, I'll hold you responsible."

Fan Hun's mouth is faster than his brain. He has perfected his speaking skills over the years. He wanted to say something else but Liang Chongyue waved him away.

She really didn't want to listen to Fan Hun's nonsense anymore. As long as there was no problem when this batch of silver was delivered to Jiangnan, Fan Hun could live a few more days.

If there is any problem, let Minglang check it out.

Liang Chongyue calculated clearly that the most important issue at this morning's court was the flood problem in Jiangnan. After the national canal was built a few years ago, she had the idea of ​​building another one in Jiangnan, but she had not yet chosen a location.

The current terrain of Jiangnan is very different from that of thousands of years later. If she doesn't go to Jiangnan, the construction of the National Canal is just a dream for her.

When the court officials gradually quieted down and it was almost time to adjourn the court session, Liang Chongyue showed no intention of ending it.

"Have you finished what you wanted to say, my dear ministers?"

There was silence below.

"Well, then, let me tell you something. Yesterday, I received several memorials alleging that the exam questions for this year's Spring Examination were leaked. They were well-reasoned and well-founded, and I'm deeply concerned. After all, the Spring Examination is a major event for students all over the country. I wonder if you, my dear ministers, have the time to review these memorials with me and help me carefully consider them."

Hearing His Majesty mention the issue of leaking the Spring Examination questions so bluntly, the ministers below looked at each other.

Those who submitted memorials yesterday are now disappointed, while others are puzzled. His Majesty has entrusted Prince Bao with the responsibility of this year's Spring Examination, with the assistance of the Minister of Rites, and there have been no problems in these years.

Why is there a problem this year?

"Your Majesty, I have never heard of this matter since the beginning of this year's imperial examination. I'm afraid there must be some misunderstanding."

It was Prime Minister Jiang who spoke up first, and after he spoke, other officials dared to chime in.

"I haven't heard of this either. I just don't know where this misunderstanding came from. I've already sent Prince Bao to investigate, and I expect the results will be out soon. But before that, I'd like to hear from the ministers who presented the memorial to the Emperor yesterday about why they suspect the examination papers were leaked."

Ping An brought up the memorial, but Liang Chongyue did not take it. Instead, he directly ordered him to hand it to Prime Minister Jiang.

Prime Minister Jiang reached out to take it and began to read it. Liang Chongyue picked up the teacup and took a sip. The rich aroma of tea hit his face, diluting the smell of old wood in the air.

"What nonsense! Officials don't even have this level of judgment. Such a trivial matter is worthy of so much useless writing."

Prime Minister Jiang only read two books carefully and only glanced at the other three books, and he knew that the contents were very different.

He has been in official circles for many years, and this little trick could not escape his eyes.

Listening to Prime Minister Jiang's frank remarks in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the corners of Liang Chongyue's mouth hidden behind the teacup slowly rose, and he lowered his head in satisfaction to continue sipping his tea.

Prime Minister Jiang was a good man and directly handed the five memorials to the Minister of Works and the Minister of Personnel according to their respective parts.

As the matter concerned the Spring Examination, Li Wen had already stretched out his hand to wait for the memorial from Prime Minister Jiang, but he saw that Prime Minister Jiang ignored him. Seeing that he was puzzled, he pulled him behind him and shook his head slightly at him.
