Volume 13: Dreaming Back to a Thousand Years, Chapter 63: Secretly Killing Chen Cang

Time passed unknowingly, and in a blink of an eye, it was already the end of the year, and all the palaces were already busy, preparing for the New Year's ceremony and the New Year's Eve dinner.

Only Yaoguang's Phoenix Palace was as quiet as ever.

"Every palace is preparing for the year-end festival and the New Year's Eve banquet. Why do you act like a normal person?" Guishan walked in and saw her calm appearance, with a look of confusion on her face.

"The year-end festival and the New Year's Eve banquet are all prepared by various departments. What does it have to do with me? Besides, isn't this a matter of the Etiquette Department? What am I doing?" Yao Guang rolled his eyes at Guishan. He touched his big head and looked indifferent.

"That's right." Guishan nodded, but as soon as he thought about it, he felt that something was wrong. This is not Yaoguang's style: "Hey, that's wrong, this is not your style, wouldn't you be?!" Guishan thought What? No more words, just looking at Yao Guang.

"Hahaha, I've been discovered by you, so you should tell me." Yao Guang stood up from the imperial concubine's couch, brewed a cup of tea and handed it to Gui Shan.

"You are waiting, waiting for the Ministry of Etiquette to have a problem. Am I right?" Guishan said. He saw Yao Guang raising his tea cup to indicate that he should continue speaking. Guishan continued: "I have looked around these days. Look, this year's end-of-year ceremony and New Year's Eve banquet are arranged according to the specifications of the previous dynasty. It is already the first year of the Holy Heaven. Why are we still using the specifications of the previous dynasty? The Ministry of Rites should be the most sensitive to these matters, but this The Minister of Rites did not raise any objection at all, which is a bit strange."

"What's so strange about this? The Minister of Rites was originally a legacy of the previous dynasty. It's not surprising that he followed the rules of etiquette of the previous dynasty. Besides, wasn't His Majesty also an official of the previous dynasty? There are many adults who were members of the previous dynasty, so naturally he wouldn't feel that way. What's the problem, so even the emperor himself ignored this problem. This problem can actually be big or small, and it's not wrong to follow the previous dynasty's etiquette. If you want to find fault with this matter, you have to find another way." Yao. Hikari took a sip of tea.

"I have observed this Minister of Rites, and he is trying his best. Is it because he is a member of Sheng Chuhui that you want to get rid of him?" Guishan asked curiously.

"Ke'er." Yao Guang called out. Ke'er brought over a big notebook.

After Yao Guang opened it, he clicked a few times on one of the pages and looked at Gui Shan. Gui Shan looked at it with confusion and was surprised: "This is?!"

"The Minister of Rites, for this year-end ceremony and New Year's Eve banquet, has tried his best and made every effort to be extravagant, but no matter how extravagant it is, how can he spend ten thousand taels of gold and thirty thousand taels of silver, not counting the annual rewards of each palace? And the annual rewards of various mansions, and during my secret investigation, I found that 30% of the maturity was lost, and the Minister of Rites only accounted for 3%, and most of it was with Sheng Chuhui. Continue to use The matter of the previous dynasty's etiquette was big or small, but taking advantage of it to corrupt the law is not a trivial matter. And the corruption of the Minister of Rites is not just that. The secret report said that this gentleman looked diligent, but secretly he was rich. Enemy country. I have already obtained the evidence and am just waiting for an opportunity." Yao Guang said.

"What are you waiting for?" Guishan asked.

"Hehe, the secret must not be leaked." Yaoguang smiled mysteriously.

Guishan glanced at Yao Guang speechlessly, what's the point of this girl? I really can’t understand it.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, it's not good, the altar for worshiping the heaven has collapsed." Sheng Zixuan ran in in a panic, with a look of horror on his face.

Guishan suddenly jumped up from his stool and was so surprised that he couldn't speak. Yao Guang sighed deeply and stood up. He walked out first with his big head in his arms.
