Qi Shangshu didn't expect Chu Shangshu to point his sword at him, and suddenly he was so bold, from being wise and protecting himself to being aggressive. He was not prepared, so he could not explain clearly to Xiao Yuanzhao's inquiry.
Xiao Yuanzhao glanced at the Prince Regent's ugly face, and said with a sullen face: "Qi Shangshu is not strict in governing the family, conniving at the family's children to oppress the common people, sell official positions, and endanger the government. I will think about it in the mansion from now on..."
Before Xiao Yuanzhao could finish speaking, the Prince Regent interrupted him, "Your Majesty's words are wrong, the offenders are members of Qi Shangshu's clan, and they lied to Qi Shangshu. Qi Shangshu is busy with court affairs every day, how can he know about them? Private actions? The emperor's punishment will probably chill the hearts of the courtiers."
Chu Shangshu took a step and cupped his hands, "Prince Regent is worrying too much, the ministers are loyal to the emperor, but they obey the mandate of heaven, they dare not have the slightest selfishness, and they will not be chilled by the emperor's consideration for the people, otherwise the ministers will have no face. To be an official?"
Uncle Chen Yushi excused: "Yes, courtiers are role models for the people. If you can't even manage your own family well, how can you serve the court? Serving the common people? If Qi Shangshu neglects family rules just because he is busy with business, then The minister thought that Qi Shangshu was overwhelmed and could not take on the responsibility of the household minister, so it would be better to change to a lighter errand, wouldn’t it be beautiful to have both government affairs and family affairs?”
These two people are the people Xiao Yuanzhao can trust with all their hearts now. When they sang and fought back the Prince Regent, Xiao Yuanzhao felt a lot better, and asked with a slight smile: "The two Aiqings are right, and important officials in the court have always been there. For those who can live in it, Qi Shangshu may not be able to assume the post of Minister of Household. What does the prince regent think?"
The Prince Regent's face turned blue, they had finished speaking, and the evidence of the crime was lying there. If he refuted it again, wouldn't it be harassment? They raised him up in public, but he didn't expect that the Chu family would really dare to stand in line and face him with eyes and no eyeballs.
He glanced at Chu Shangshu with deep eyes, and said coldly, "Since the emperor has already decided, this king has no objection."
Everyone could hear his displeasure, but Xiao Yuanzhao did not appease him as before, but looked at Chu Shangshu with satisfaction and said, "Aiqing has both talent and virtue, and the children he has taught are also intelligent and brave, and now it is Qu Cai who manages the miscellaneous matters. Then Aiqing will take over the post of Minister of Accounts, sort out the accounts in the past three years, and limit you to recover the money lent from the treasury within three months. There must be no mistake."
"Yes, the minister obeys the order." Chu Shang still looked indifferent in writing, neither surprised nor happy, but made many people pay attention to him. This man used to be quiet before, but he didn't expect to be a blockbuster. First, his daughter successfully rescued him and became a favorite concubine, and then his son became a close minister of the emperor. Even he himself squeezed out Qi Shangshu and seized the money bag of the court.
The new official took office three times, and the emperor ordered him to sort out the accounts. In the future, the approval of the money needed for the operation of each department must be strict, and there are things to find out if there is nothing. Which department dares to look at Chu Shangshu? I'm afraid that I have to respect him well. Compared with the situation where he was almost overridden in the Ministry of Rites, it was like a day by day.
For a time, some people felt pity, why didn't they have a daughter like Chu Xiang? One person is favored, the whole family is in power!
Xiao Yuanzhao is very happy to get rid of Qi Shangshu. He has been secretly clearing the regent's power during this period of time, paving the way for the removal of Qi Shangshu, but the actions of the Chu family still helped him and cooperated with him. It's done.
He was going to celebrate with his concubine, and at this time, he was even happier to see the inconsistency of concubine Ai.

When Xiao Yuanzhao was on the road, he ordered to go down and let the imperial kitchen make a table of good dishes and put them in the Taihe Palace. He didn't pay attention when he ordered, and when he saw the dishes on the table, he realized that most of the dishes he ordered were Chu Xiang's favorite dishes. He often sat next to her during meals, touching his legs or arms, and unconsciously remembered her preferences for eating.
His mood was a bit complicated. Most of the time he sought Chu Xiang for fun, he could relax in Chu Xiang, and every time he left with a smile, his mood improved for a long time. But now that I think about it, should he end this game?
As an emperor, it's not a good thing to pay too much attention to a woman. His father, the emperor, was planted on the woman's lust, and he died early. He was also in power by the regent, and he didn't want to follow in his father's footsteps.
As soon as he was distracted, Chu Xiang found it and said with concern: "What is the emperor thinking? Wasn't he still very happy just now? I thought you were going to tell me something happy, why do you seem to be troubled now?"
Xiao Yuanzhao's heart froze, he was really too relaxed in front of her, and he walked away unconsciously, which was a big inappropriate. Also, Chu Xiang was too sensitive, he could even sense that he was in a wrong mood. He couldn't give power to such a smart woman, otherwise his future palace concubine and heirs would be in her hands, which would be too dangerous.
Xiao Yuanzhao smiled calmly, "No worries, I'm just a little tired today. Today I do have a happy event to tell the imperial concubine, the former Minister of the Household is not strict in governing the family, he is really incompetent, I ordered him to think about it behind closed doors, let your father He took over the post of Minister of the Household. I also gave him a three-month errand to borrow money from the state treasury. As long as he does a good job, I will reuse him. At that time, other courtiers will also look at him highly. Dare to offend him at will."
