Looking around, every item in this room is enough to get Lu Mubai beheaded several times.
Lu Mubai's extremely bad mood instantly became cheerful after entering this room. He held his head high and strode to the dragon throne and sat down.
"Hahahaha, this throne belongs to me. If I wasn't born late, how could this throne have gone to my useless brother?"
Lu Mubai laughed a little crazily. He stood up from the dragon throne and picked up the unembroidered dragon robe beside him.
He actually picked up the needle and thread beside him and started embroidering the dragon robe himself.
"I will be the first emperor to embroider his own dragon robe." Lu Mubai's eyes had become crazy at this time, but he held the needle in his hand very steadily. Each stitch was very delicate, comparable to the craftsmanship of the embroiderers in the palace.
The Queen Mother in the palace was still wearing her gorgeous clothes. She sat quietly on the soft couch, her posture elegant and solemn, as if time had stopped in front of her. Her eyes were full of anticipation, looking forward to the arrival of the person she had been thinking about.
The candlelight flickered in the room, and the light and shadow flowed on Li Qingye's face, adding a bit of mystery and tenderness to her. Li Qingye had changed from sitting to lying on the couch, her jade arms gently resting on the edge of the couch, and the gems inlaid on her fingers sparkled in the candlelight.
However, until the sky turned pale the next day, the person she had been thinking about still hadn't appeared.
Li Qingye walked to the window with disappointment in her eyes. She pushed the window open and a cool breeze blew in, making her feel even more desolate.
"He didn't come. It's been a long time since he rushed into my palace like he used to, expressing his love and longing. It's been a long time indeed."
Li Qingye's eyes were wet with tears. She had long noticed his indifference and felt the disappearance of love in his heart.
However, she was unwilling to let go, and would not give up easily.
Taking a deep breath, she returned to her room, ground the ink, picked up the pen and pondered, then wrote a letter to Lu Mubai.
She asked Rong Mama to take the envelope and hand it over to the secret guard Lu Mubai left in the palace.
"Madame Rong, go tell the emperor that I will set off for Ziyun Temple the day after tomorrow to pray for an heir for the emperor." Li Qingye's voice was calm and firm.
"Empress Dowager, how long do you plan to stay in the temple?" Madam Rong asked respectfully.
"About a month." Li Qing also replied indifferently. After receiving the order, Rong Mama quietly withdrew.
In the imperial study, Emperor Yuanming threw all the memorials on the table to the ground. "Everyone has their own ideas. The position of the Minister of War is so fiercely fought over."
Emperor Yuan Ming calmed down for a moment and said: "Let Shang Yuanshan enter the palace."
"Yes." Eunuch Li took the order and retreated.
A moment later, Shang Yuanshan entered the palace. Seeing the memorials all over the floor, he sat down on the floor and looked through them.
Emperor Yuanming: "Shang Yuanshan, why don't you ask me what's wrong?"
Shang Yuanshan raised his eyebrows and said slowly: "Isn't this obvious? Because I'm worried about the Minister of War."
Shang Yuanshan made the matter clear, and Emperor Yuan Ming began to talk to Shang Yuanshan about the things that made him angry, and he kept talking for a whole incense stick of time.
Seeing that Emperor Yuanming had no intention of stopping, Shang Yuanshan walked to the table, picked up a cup of tea and handed it to him. "Drink some, your throat will be hoarse soon."
Emperor Yuan Ming took it and drank it in one gulp.
Shang Yuanshan saw that he had finished drinking, so he asked: "Your Majesty, have you already chosen a candidate?"
Emperor Yuan Ming put down his teacup and asked with a smile: "Did you figure it out?"
“Your Majesty, it’s not just me who has noticed this. Many people in the court should have noticed this, otherwise they wouldn’t have been in such a hurry to appoint the Minister of War.
I don’t believe that Your Majesty can’t see that the people they recommended were all for the purpose of promoting Minister Zhang of the Ministry of War.”
"I got angry because I saw it. They have arranged everything.
Someone also submitted a memorial saying that General Shen had recovered from his illness and asked Governor Shen to return to Daxing City as soon as possible.
"But you don't want to. You want to restore Governor Shen's position as Minister of War."
"Well, the Shen family has been wronged for too long because of the matter between me and Mo'er. I don't want to wrong the Shen family anymore, but I am afraid that my willful behavior will harm the Shen family."
Shang Yuanshan looked directly at Emperor Yuan Ming: "Your Majesty, you know that it is because you think this way that you are hesitant and dare not issue an order directly."
"But my idea is not wrong. The Shen family has suffered too much injustice."
Shang Yuanshan shook his head. "Your Majesty, please change your perspective. The position of Minister of War is very important and cannot fall into the hands of someone like Sun Zhuohua.
And Shen Chengtian is a person whom Your Majesty trusts, and he is fully capable of being the Minister of War. Now he is the most suitable person.
Moreover, the descendants of General Shen are not cowards."
When Emperor Yuan Ming heard this, his mouth curled up as he suddenly realized what was going on. "I am narrow-minded, hahaha."
Emperor Yuan Ming no longer hesitated and directly called Li Defu to bring him a blank imperial edict. He wrote down the imperial edict and an appointment with a stroke of his pen.
"Go to the Ministry of Personnel to register first, and let Li Nanzhou go with you to the Shen Mansion to read the imperial edict."
"Yes." Li Defu took the imperial edict and retreated.
After everyone left, Shang Yuanshan stepped forward and patted Emperor Yuanming on the shoulder. "Actually, you don't have to think so much. General Shen has never blamed you."
"Shang Yuanshan, you see so clearly, yet you still dare to speak out. Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
Shang Yuanshan raised his eyebrows: "Then I can only expose your dirty laundry."
"..."Emperor Yuan Ming smiled and punched Shang Yuanshan on the shoulder.
"You can actually threaten me." Emperor Yuan Ming's eyes dimmed. "Why didn't you use the story that Yang Yang knew to threaten me? That way, your whole family wouldn't have died tragically."
"Your Majesty, are you still thinking about this?"
"How could I not miss it? I killed my good brother there, and all the people who were kind to me.
Shang Yuanshan: Ever since I found out about that, I’ve been worried every day.”
Shang Yuanshan smiled and said: "But that won't happen again. I think if you know the truth and still do that this time, I will not only report your dirty laundry, but also cut off ties with you."
"Hahahaha." Emperor Yuan Ming laughed loudly. "Shang Yuanshan, you are the only one who dares to say that."
"He is just spoiled and arrogant."
Emperor Yuan Ming took a step back. "Shang Yuanshan, be careful with your words. Don't let people misunderstand our relationship. I only have Mo'er in my heart."
"Haha, I only have Siqing in my heart, hum~"
The warm scene between the two of them was broken at this moment.
Emperor Yuan Ming: "Okay, you should leave the palace immediately."
"Do you think I'll stay longer?" Shang Yuanshan took a few steps and thought of something, then turned back to look at Emperor Yuan Ming. "Your Majesty, have you also received the news from the Chicheng Army?"
