"I made a fortune! Today was another big profit day!"

Xiao Jingyi immediately accepted the reward, but he did not ask for the food and fodder, instead leaving it to lie in the system space.

"Buzz!"

The next moment, two books appeared in front of Xiao Jingyi's desk.

Countless methods of using weapons flashed through his mind, and scenes of practicing weapons appeared before his eyes.

At the same time, his mastery of various weapons gradually became more comprehensive.

"Phew, so the basic weapon mastery is actually this useful."

Xiao Jingyi snapped out of his daze, a hint of excitement in his eyes.

He looked down at his hands; he was now adept at using every weapon.

"It's a pity that mastery of all weapons is just for show in my hands."

As a prince, Xiao Jingyi rarely does things himself, so it's conceivable that even with his mastery of all weapons, he probably rarely uses it.

At most, only in front of his subordinates...

Pretending to be cool.

However, he soon turned his attention to the two thick books on the desk.

"But you guys are the ones who benefited the most this time."

Xiao Jingyi reached out and touched it.

"Your Highness, it's so late, aren't you going to rest?"

Just then, a graceful figure slowly walked into the study. Seeing that Xiao Jingyi was not asleep, she said with some surprise.

"Ok?"

"Xin'er?"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Xiao Jingyi's eyes lit up.

Because the person who came was none other than the second wife of the Prince's Mansion, Wuxin, whose original name was Yu Wuxinjie.

Her natural beauty is exceptional, a rare find in the world.

She wore a white long dress with a white stand-up collar cardigan over it, paired with silver boots.

The stand-up collar exudes solemnity and majesty, while the embroidery that extends across the upper body reveals understated luxury, and the two straps on the left side of the waist add a touch of dynamism and elegance.

Yu Wuxin gracefully approached Xiao Jingyi from behind, began massaging his shoulders, and said sternly, "Your Highness, no matter how busy you are, you must remember to rest."

"I know, Xin'er. You said you were busy cultivating lately, how's it going?"

As his woman, Yu Wuxin was someone Xiao Jingyi didn't know well before.

But he was still aware of what had happened over the years.

Cultivate, cultivate!

If he doesn't show up, he's either playing cards or practicing cultivation!

So when he saw that she had come to him, he asked her about her current cultivation progress.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I have indeed made some breakthroughs this time."

Upon hearing his question, Yu Wuxin immediately stood up and looked at her with delight.

Although he didn't know Yu Wuxin's exact cultivation level, Xiao Jingyi knew that Yu Wuxin's cultivation was at least at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm or above.

Remember, it's the minimum!

He really didn't know the specifics.

"Really!? Congratulations, Xin'er!"

Hearing this, Yu Wuxin was very happy and sat down in his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck: "Your Highness, you must do your best. You said you would protect Xin'er in the future."

"Don't worry, no matter what you face in the future, I will protect you."

Xiao Jingyi said in a deep voice.

He knew it would be a long way to catch up with Yu Wuxin, but he was confident that he would succeed.

"Eh? Your Highness, these two books?"

At this moment, Yu Wuxin saw two books on the table, and especially the "Complete Collection of Basic Martial Arts Techniques". He immediately picked up the book out of curiosity and started flipping through it.

Seeing this, Xiao Jingyi did not stop her.

Yu Wuxin, however, became increasingly alarmed as he read on, because this basic martial arts encyclopedia was simply too comprehensive.

It not only covers many basic techniques, but also provides detailed explanations of basic martial arts.

It's like a collection of all the basic martial arts in the world.

Although this book is not a particularly valuable cultivation technique, if it were to be taken out, it would be fought over by countless forces.

Because this is simply a divine book for cultivating the next generation of disciples!

"Your Highness, this book..."

"Take it if you want to see it, and you can take it back when I need it in the future."

Seeing that Yu Wuxin was not interested, Xiao Jingyi told her to take it herself before she could ask.

Upon hearing his words, Yu Wuxin felt as sweet as if she had been coated with honey.

You should know that this book is extremely valuable; even she suddenly understood some of the basic martial arts techniques described in it.

 While 507 didn't dramatically increase her strength, it certainly solidified her foundation.

Xiao Jingyi didn't even ask any questions before letting me take it to look at.

Savor it, savor it carefully!

This is how much Xiao Jingyi dotes on her.

"Your Highness, you are too kind to me."

Thinking of this, Yu Wuxin looked at Xiao Jingyi with a confused and infatuated expression, and then her jade lips slowly touched Xiao Jingyi's lips.

Once you kiss someone, you can't pull away...

...

Xiao Jingyi was comfortable tonight.

However, Emperor Liang was having a great headache in the palace.

"It's so noisy, it's noisy every day now."

"Ever since Lou Zhijing's case was classified, the Crown Prince's people, Prince Yu's people, and his people have been recommending this person or that person to be the Minister of Revenue every day."

Aren't they tired?

What Emperor Liang was talking about was who should be appointed as the Minister of Revenue.

He hadn't expected that this position, which had just become vacant, would attract so many people to compete for it.

In the past, he would have enjoyed watching the two sides fight; it was just a game anyway.

But as he gets older and has been busy lately, he feels exhausted and powerless.

He tossed all the memorials aside, sighed, and said, "Gao Zhan, do you think the position of Minister of Revenue is really that important?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Zhan, who had been looking down, slowly opened his eyes, picked up the teacup, and placed it in front of Emperor Liang.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue is in charge of the Liang treasury, so it is naturally very important."

"Yes, they manage the money."

Emperor Liang let out a long sigh: "Now, both the Crown Prince and Prince Yu are eyeing this position covetously, wishing they could immediately appoint their own people as Minister of Revenue."

"Absolutely outrageous!"

"Especially this Crown Prince, I have already confined him to his quarters for a month, but he still sent his subordinates to the Eastern Palace."

As he was speaking, Emperor Liang suddenly noticed Liu Cheng, who was still waiting below.

"You just stood there watching the show, huh?"

Seeing that Emperor Liang had noticed him, Liu Cheng immediately walked to the center, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, how to fill the vacancy left by Lou Zhijing, the Minister of Revenue, after his imprisonment is a matter of great importance to the court."

"It is only right that everyone in the court expresses their own opinions."

Emperor Liang naturally understood the hidden meaning in Liu Cheng's words, which was nothing more than saying that factional strife was commonplace, with people fighting for their own benefit.

Emperor Liang was still dissatisfied, pointing to the pile of memorials: "How could I not know? But you have secretly submitted these memorials recommending candidates. Although there are many candidates, none of them are satisfactory to everyone."

"If this continues, the Ministry of Revenue's administration will be thrown into chaos."

Upon hearing Emperor Liang's words, Liu Cheng immediately understood and said, "Your Majesty, Shen Zhui is handling things at the Ministry of Revenue, so it's not a problem for now."

Upon hearing this new name, Emperor Liang was taken aback and immediately made a decision.

"Shen Zhui?"

"Shen Zhui from Princess Qinghe's family?"

At this moment, Emperor Liang's mind started to stir: "Yes, yes, he is a third-rank vice minister of the Ministry of Revenue."

He then looked at Liu Cheng meaningfully and said, "I didn't even think of him for a moment. I had praised him before, saying that among the disciples of aristocratic families, he had such talent."

"I am very curious, since he has such abilities and comes from a good family, why is it that none of the memorials recommending him are actually written?"

Emperor Liang braced his hands on the table, staring intently at Liu Cheng.

The latter, being stared at by him, probably pretended to be confused and said, "Perhaps, it's just that everyone didn't think of it for a moment?"

Unexpected?

Liu Cheng, do you think I believe what you're saying?

Emperor Liang was immediately amused by Liu Cheng and pointed at him, saying, "You old fellow, you always like to play both sides. Do you really think I'm stupid?"

Then Emperor Liang changed the subject: "I suppose he is neither a member of the Crown Prince's faction nor a member of Prince Yu's faction?"

Seeing Emperor Liang ask this question, Liu Cheng could only reply, "Your Majesty, Shen Zhui comes from a noble family and is naturally a bit arrogant. He usually prefers to do practical things and is not good at socializing, so he naturally has very little interaction with the two princes."

"Less? Less is better."

Upon hearing these words, Emperor Liang felt all the pent-up frustration of the past few days completely dissipate.

He had no intention of handing over the Ministry of Revenue to either the Crown Prince or Prince Yu this time, so when he heard the name Shen Zhui and learned that he was not one of the Crown Prince or Prince Yu's men, he was deeply moved.

He immediately came up with a plan: "Since he's doing a good job, let him continue."

In short, the position of Minister of Revenue has been fully established.

The struggle between the Crown Prince and Prince Yu once again benefited others.

This also reveals Emperor Liang's thoughts; he is slowly reclaiming power.

Upon hearing this, Liu Cheng immediately said nothing more, bowed, and withdrew from the main hall.

Once outside the palace, Liu Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, his fist clenched tightly beneath his sleeves: "I have not disappointed Your Highness. I have successfully made Shen Zhui the Minister of Revenue."

"I have not failed Your Highness's mission."

Liu Cheng, the Grand Secretary of the Liang Dynasty, was a member of the Liu family.

Few people know that he is the Xuanzi No. 99 special agent developed by Xiao Jingyi, and has been lurking in the imperial court for many years.

Yesterday, he received orders from Xiao Jingyi to help Shen Zhui when the time was right.

That's why Liu Cheng said those words today.

Afterwards, Liu Cheng happily returned home, as if nothing had happened.

The following day, news of Emperor Liang's decree regarding Shen Zhui spread throughout the court.

The two families, who were still fighting, were completely stunned after hearing Emperor Liang's decree.

No, not again?

The patrol battalion was like this last time, and it's the same this time.
