Chapter 1085 [Ancient Juechen 26]

Three days after their wedding, Murong Sangsang and Bai Jue were in love and in great affection. During these three days, Murong Sangsang not only handed over some unimportant memorials to his sister Murong Xueying, but also accompanied Bai Jue to travel around the capital, having a great time.

Murong Xueying, originally a princess with a leisurely life, was suddenly dragged by her sister to deal with these complicated memorials, and she naturally felt helpless. While reading those flattering and nonsense memorials, she secretly complained, regretting that she had not stopped her sister from getting married. Now she could only silently bear this "hard job" by herself.

However, time flies, and three days pass in a flash. That morning, Murong Xueying woke up early and squatted at the door of Murong Sangsang and Bai Jue's room like a little rabbit, anxiously waiting for her sister to appear.

Finally, the door slowly opened, and Murong Sangsang came out sleepily. Seeing this, Murong Xueying immediately stepped forward and said with a face full of resentment: "Sister, I've had enough! These memorials are just a pile of waste paper, and they are full of flattering nonsense. I can't bear to read them at all!"

Murong Sangsang looked at her sister's pitiful appearance and couldn't help but find it a little funny. She quickly comforted her, "Okay, Xueying, don't complain. The reason why I gave all these memorials to you is because I trust you! Think about it, I don't even trust other people, but I only give such important things to you, isn't it because you are my sister! I believe in your ability, so I can give it to you with confidence!"

"Sister, you and brother-in-law are so loving, but I'm so miserable. These days I get up earlier than a chicken and sleep later than a dog. Look at me, I've lost a lot of weight!" Xueying said with a sad face.

Seeing this, Murong Sangsang hurriedly comforted her, "Okay, okay, I know you've worked hard. How about this, I'll allow you to pick out three items from my private vault, how about that?"

Xueying smiled happily when she heard it. "Okay, okay, thank you then, sister! If there is nothing else, sister, I will go pick things first!"

"Go ahead." Murong Sangsang smiled and waved her hand.

As soon as Xueying left, Bai Jue came out of the house and asked curiously, "Sangsang, was it Sister Xueying who was talking just now?"

Murong Sangsang nodded and said helplessly, "Yes, this little girl, I threw all the memorials to her these three days, and she got mad at me, saying she was too tired. So I had no choice but to let her go to my private storehouse and pick out three things at random, and then she ran away happily."

After hearing this, Bai Jue's mouth curled up slightly, "Oh? I wonder if I have the honor to go and take a look at Sangsang's private vault?"

"Okay, here, this is the key to my private vault. I'm giving it to you. Everything in it is yours." Murong Sangsang handed the key to the private vault to Bai Jue with a look of trust, as if the wealth represented by the key was insignificant to her.

Seeing this, Bai Jue didn't hesitate at all and reached out to take the key. "Then I'll be honored to accept it. I'll keep it for Sangsang from now on." His tone was firm and gentle, which made people feel warm.

Murong Sangsang smiled slightly, "Okay." This simple word contained her trust and dependence on Bai Jue.

However, Bai Jue was still a little worried. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Sangsang, do you really want me to go to court with you? Won't the ministers say anything?"

Murong Sangsang seemed to have expected this. She gently patted Bai Jue's hand and comforted him, "It's okay. I'll be watching over everything. You are my Phoenix Queen now, so why can't we two saints attend the court together? From now on, we will go to court together."

Bai Jue's concerns were slightly alleviated after hearing Murong Sangsang's words, but he still couldn't help asking, "But, will this cause dissatisfaction among the ministers in the court?"

Murong Sangsang smiled and said confidently, "Why should they be dissatisfied? I am the emperor and I have the final say. As long as the two of us support each other and govern the country together, those ministers will naturally understand our intentions."

Bai Jue looked at Murong Sangsang's determined eyes and finally nodded, "Okay, I believe you."

……

When Murong Sangsang and Bai Jue sat side by side on the dragon throne, the entire court was in shock. The ministers looked at each other in disbelief, as if time had frozen at this moment.

At this moment, an old minister suddenly stood up. He walked quickly to the front of the hall, knelt on his knees without hesitation, and said with a look of panic: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely not allowed! Since ancient times, there has never been a precedent of two saints attending court at the same time. I know the Queen's ability, but this is not a reason for her to attend court with Your Majesty."

Murong Sangsang's face was as gloomy as water. She swept her eyes across the old minister coldly, and then said slowly: "The emperors of our Great Xia Dynasty have been both male and female. What's wrong with me bringing Queen Phoenix to court? Besides, aren't there many ministers present who are men like Queen Phoenix? Why can you attend court, but Queen Phoenix can't? Back then, when Queen Phoenix was still General Bai, she also attended court with me. Now she has just changed her identity. What's the difference?"

The old minister's forehead was covered with sweat when he heard this. He kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, there is a huge difference between the two! In the past, Queen Feng was a minister, so she could naturally attend the court to discuss politics. But now, Queen Feng is your Majesty's husband, and her status is different. How can she attend the court with your Majesty?"

"Okay, I have made up my mind, so stop talking!" Murong Sangsang's voice was firm and majestic, echoing in the court. His eyes swept across the ministers, as if telling them that this decision could not be questioned.

"If I say yes, then yes!" Murong Sangsang continued, "From now on, I will come with Queen Phoenix every morning. Queen Phoenix represents me. Seeing Queen Phoenix is ​​like seeing me in person. You must treat Queen Phoenix with courtesy and not be negligent in the slightest."

The ministers looked at each other. Although they had some doubts in their hearts, seeing that the emperor was so determined, they could only respond in unison: "We obey your command."

Murong Sangsang nodded in satisfaction, then gently patted Bai Jue's hand beside her, with a smile on her face. This smile was both a comfort to Bai Jue and a demonstration to the ministers.

"Do you have anything to report today?" Murong Sangsang looked at the ministers and asked.

The ministers exchanged glances, but no one spoke. The court was completely silent, with only the occasional cough breaking the slightly awkward atmosphere.

Seeing this, Murong Sangsang frowned slightly and said, "Since there is nothing else to say, I will say one thing." He paused and continued, "When you submit memorials in the future, you need to be more concise. Don't write a lot of long-winded words like in the past, in the end, only a few words are really useful, and the rest is just nonsense."

Although his voice was not loud, his dissatisfaction was obvious. The ministers all lowered their heads, not daring to look the emperor in the eye.

“I will not pursue the past anymore.” Murong Sangsang continued, “But from now on, if anyone else acts like this and writes flattering words that have no practical significance, I will never let them off easily! Not only that, I will also fine them their salary and order them to copy the laws of Daxia a hundred times!”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" the ministers responded in unison, with a hint of awe in their voices.

Although the ministers had some complaints in their hearts, they did not dare to show it. After all, Murong Sangsang has always been a person who keeps her word. Her decision is like an imperial decree, which cannot be changed. Compared with the previous emperors, Murong Sangsang is obviously more decisive and resolute. Those emperors would at least take the ministers' feelings into consideration, and occasionally weigh the pros and cons and make some compromises. However, Murong Sangsang is completely different. Once she makes up her mind, she will act without hesitation, without considering the ministers' opinions and ideas at all.
