Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne

Chapter 267: The elder sister beat up the mother-in-law

In the past, whenever a disaster occurred in a certain place, the national treasury would allocate a large amount of silver for disaster relief. This is the first time such a situation has occurred.

For Shen Maoxue, he was not afraid of being hated by the court officials.

Because if only one person contributed money, that person would definitely hate him for making him lose a large sum of money. But since all the civil and military officials in the court "donated generously", and everyone was the same, the instigator did not seem so hateful...

Because he is not targeting anyone, but hopes that everyone present can do their part for the people of Yangzhou!

At most, the Duke of Zhenguo would dislike Shen Maoxue even more.

Anyway, they have always been in a hostile position, so this one time won't make any difference.

Moreover, he was the father of the favorite concubine, and he had just returned from a great achievement. I don't know how many people were paying attention to him. No matter how arrogant the Duke of Zhenguo was, he didn't dare to do anything to him at this time.

Shen Maoxue burst into tears: "All of you are concerned about the disaster area, the country and the people. You are worthy of being your Majesty's loyal ministers!"

"Everyone in the court is united in their efforts to share your majesty's worries. Why should we worry that our Great Zhou will not be strong? I am deeply moved when I see this!"

Everyone: "..."

Do they really want to pay?

It’s because Shen Maoxue had set up the Duke of Zhenguo, and the Duke of Zhenguo then dragged the Duke of Dingguo into the water.

The two Dukes have set an example, how dare they not follow?

But since the money had been paid, no one was stupid enough to speak their mind. They all followed Shen Maoxue's lead and said, "Your Majesty, we are loyal to the Great Zhou! Sharing your Majesty's worries is our duty!"

When was there a time when officials from different factions did not quarrel over their own interests during the court session? Nangong Xuanyu rarely saw such a harmonious court, and he looked at Shen Maoxue with increasing satisfaction!

Shen Aiqing is such a wonderful person!

"Seeing that you are so concerned about the people, I am very happy! I am lucky to have loyal ministers like you!"

Even powerful ministers like the Duke of Zhenguo and the Duke of Dingguo who controlled the court only sought tremendous power and were still loyal to the emperor and the Great Zhou for the time being.

Hearing Nangong Xuanyu's praise, the ministers were very excited: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise! It is a blessing for us to have a wise ruler like Your Majesty!"

For a moment, the emperor and his ministers praised each other. The atmosphere in the court had never been so good!

Nangong Xuanyu's eyes fell on Shen Maoxue, and he said in a gentle voice: "Yangzhou was able to successfully survive the heavy snowstorm this time and minimize the losses. Shen Aiqing has made an indelible contribution!"

"Come here, pass on my decree. Effective immediately, Mr. Shen will be appointed as the Minister of Personnel in the Ministry of Personnel!"

Before going to Yangzhou, Shen Maoxue had just been promoted to the third-rank Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

After returning from Yangzhou, he became the second-rank Minister of the Ministry of Personnel!

This promotion is too fast!!!

Moreover, the Guanglu Temple Minister was responsible for managing the palace's meals, sacrifices and other matters. To put it bluntly, it was just an idle and empty position.

However, the Ministry of Personnel controls the selection, assessment, appointment, removal, promotion, transfer, performance appraisal, rewards and punishments of officials, and is the most powerful department in the Great Zhou!

Many times, a word from the Minister of Personnel can determine the career of an official!

The former Minister of Personnel was old and was about to retire. There were many people in the court eyeing this position. They never expected that His Majesty would appoint Shen Maoxue as the Minister of Personnel!

Before everyone could react, Shen Maoxue knelt down to express his gratitude: "I obey your command. Thank you for your grace! Long live your majesty!"

As long as he expresses his gratitude quickly enough, others will not be able to object in time, and the position will be his for sure!

Everyone: "..."

I'm so angry!

But even if they wanted to object, they couldn't find a reason.

Your Majesty, when you promoted Shen Maoxue in the past, they could say it was because Concubine Rou was favored, and he just relied on nepotism to climb up!

But this time, Shen Maoxue had really made a great contribution! The reason for attacking him was no longer tenable.

Shen Maoxue knew very well that although he had done a good job on this mission, there were so many capable officials in the court. If it were not for the fact that Concubine Rou was deeply favored by the emperor, how could he have been asked to go to Yangzhou to provide disaster relief?

It’s no use for others to be jealous, because it’s their fault for not having a good daughter!

Gu Jinxiao was famous for his rigid personality, being the most rule-abiding and stubborn. He was fearless in the court, and even dared to challenge the Duke of Zhenguo and the Duke of Dingguo.

He had stood up to oppose Shen Maoxue's promotions several times before, saying that it was against the rules.

But now, facing everyone's expectant gazes, Gu Jinxiao stood in his seat without saying a word.

He never blames people but the matter.

This time, Minister Shen really proved with his real ability that his promotion was not just based on nepotism.

Somehow... the charming Concubine Rou suddenly appeared in Gu Jinxiao's mind...

They didn't meet often, but she had a clear and upright look, and she shouldn't be the kind of concubine who would seduce His Majesty and favor treacherous ministers.

……

What happened in the court today was not a secret and soon spread throughout the harem.

In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Zhongcui Palace.

I still remember that at the beginning, everyone, including Concubine Liu, felt that Shen Zhinian, the daughter of a sixth-rank official, was not worthy of being on the stage. Even if she was favored, she was just a plaything, how could she be compared with these real noble ladies from aristocratic families?

I didn't expect that... after such a short time, she has become the legitimate daughter of a second-rank official! And she is also the most powerful second-rank official!

If I give birth to another prince...

People simply couldn't imagine...

Some people are envious, some are jealous, and some want to curry favor.

In just a few hours, the threshold of Zhongcui Palace was almost broken down...

Fortunately, Shen Zhinian is pregnant now, so she can use the excuse that she shouldn't work too hard and let Nanny Xiao and Yuanbao deal with them.

The palace maids of Zhongcui Palace had already finished their congratulations, received generous rewards, and went back to do their own things. Only a few of Shen Zhinian's close associates gathered around him to talk.

Handan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, His Majesty has issued an order to hold a celebration banquet for the master in the Hall of Supreme Harmony tomorrow afternoon. Ministers and concubines are all invited to attend. You will be able to see the master then, and you will definitely be the focus of everyone!"

Shen Zhinian and Shen Maoxue did not have any father-daughter feelings. They only had a purely interest-based relationship and did not have much joy in their hearts. Unlike other concubines, when they had the opportunity to see their families, they were so excited that they could not even sleep.

Having few relatives can help her worry less, but sometimes she can't help feeling lonely. Who can say whether this is a good thing or a pity...

Fuqiu smiled and talked about something else: "My lady, didn't you ask me to keep an eye on the news of the Lu family?"

"Guess what happened this time? The eldest daughter actually beat up her mother-in-law!"

Handan was startled: "What did you say?!"

The Great Zhou ruled the world with filial piety. Miss is courting death!

After a brief moment of surprise, Shen Zhinian felt that this was reasonable.

because……
