Chapter 1133 The Court Closure - Part 1: A Closure Lasting 7 Days
Before the officials could even enter the Hall of Supreme Harmony, they received news that His Majesty had cancelled the court session for the day.
As they looked at each other, everyone was puzzled.
A bold and observant person stepped forward to inquire:
"Aunt Yunling, is His Majesty unwell?"
Yunling thought about it and realized that His Majesty hadn't slept all night, and his body was indeed not as comfortable as it used to be when he woke up after a good night's sleep.
So he nodded.
Other officials who witnessed this scene suddenly realized what was happening.
They just say it.
Your Majesty has always been diligent. If it weren't for your health issues, how could Your Majesty have suddenly stopped attending court?
"Aunt Lao Yunling, please convey my regards to Your Majesty. I shall now take my leave."
One person's action leads to a hundred others following suit.
After the officials left, Yunling turned around and went back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
At this moment, Liang Chongyue was leisurely having breakfast with the system in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Before Yunling returned, she had also dealt with the greetings from Eunuch Li Jin of Cining Palace on behalf of His Majesty.
"Your Majesty, the ministers and the Empress Dowager are very worried about you, so I told them that you were not feeling well, which is why the court session was adjourned."
Liang Chongyue gave a soft "hmm" and, after finishing her meal, dismissed all the palace servants who were attending to her.
The task of simulating the mountain blasting experiment on the panel was handed over to the system.
She then began reviewing today's memorials.
The time spent in court was saved, but the memorials still needed to be approved.
After the system had eaten and drunk its fill, it felt like the whole dog was stretched out.
Not sleeping isn't a big deal anymore.
After reviewing the memorials, Liang Chongyue thought for a moment and then had Yunling summon the geomancers from the Imperial Observatory.
The topographical maps of the Liang Chongyue Mountains and the monster's lair were all spread out on the table.
He addressed the two geomancers who had come to him:
"I want to wipe out the monsters in this mountain. Do you think blowing up the mountain is a feasible method?"
The two geomancers stared at the blueprints in front of His Majesty, their minds racing.
It was not common for His Majesty to cancel court sessions, and the two of them already knew about it after all the officials had left the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Now it seems that His Majesty's illness was just a pretense; His Majesty was merely studying this matter.
The situation is urgent, so I don't have time to attend court.
"Is the monster Your Majesty is referring to the one that looks like an ape and escaped from a small kingdom in the Western Regions a few years ago?"
Liang Chongyue nodded.
At that time, Liang Chongyue ordered people to capture a few and bring them back. She also sent troops and geomancers to explore the caves she had visited before.
"Now I know where they are hiding. With autumn approaching, the people living near the mountains will have to go to the mountains. These monsters like to eat human flesh. I will not be at peace until they are eliminated."
The two geomancers were deeply moved by His Majesty's love for his people.
Their gazes returned to the blueprints in front of them.
Every part of the map was clearly marked, even the general layout of the nest was shown.
I can't believe how many soldiers died before this map reached His Majesty.
Liang Chongyue was too good at understanding people's hearts.
Just by looking at these people, you can tell what they're thinking.
The "All Soldiers" system is yawning as it continues to survey the terrain.
He was determined that once this matter was over, he would make sure the host doubled the allowance he received.
This is what motivates us to stay at our posts.
"How long will it take for me to see results?"
The two people in front of me are the most skilled geomancers in the Imperial Observatory, and unsurprisingly, they are also the most skilled in the Great Xia Dynasty.
Liang Chongyue still has some time to wait for them to study it slowly.
"Your Majesty, I have a heartfelt request."
Before the geomancer could speak, Liang Chongyue interrupted him.
"No one can take you to the site for investigation. You are not afraid of death, and I cannot alert the enemy any further."
After His Majesty said this, there was nothing the two of them didn't understand.
He stared silently at the map before him, where everything was clearly marked.
Liang Chongyue waited patiently to the side, without urging him on.
Capable people are assertive in everything they do, and even the emperor has to wait patiently.
"As long as Your Majesty's blueprints are correct, we can mark all the locations of the mines within seven days."
That's exactly what Liang Chongyue wanted to hear.
"Alright, I'll wait for you. You don't need to return to the Imperial Observatory these days. I've ordered someone to set aside a room for you in the side hall of the council chamber for your research. You can go home on weekdays, but you must not mention this matter to anyone."
Upon hearing this, the two took a step back and knelt down before Liang Chongyue.
"The minister accepts the order."
Liang Chongyue raised her hand, gesturing for the two of them to take the blueprints and go out together.
Peace will prepare a side hall for them to work in.
After the Hall of Mental Cultivation returned to quiet, Liang Chongyue switched the screen in front of the system over.
Continue simulating the explosion experiment.
The statistics of each data point and the possible reasons for deviations.
Liang Chongyue thus confined himself to the Hall of Mental Cultivation for five days, during which he suspended court for five days.
However, the memorials were still reviewed, and those with problems were sent back directly.
On the sixth day, Liang Chongyue looked at the tens of thousands of experimental data at hand, turned off the panel that was still conducting mountain blasting experiments, and gently patted the system's head.
"Go and rest, I'm going to court."
The system raised its hand and placed it on the host's hand.
"But we're still a little short of the final, perfect experiment. Shouldn't the host continue?"
Liang Chongyue shook his head.
"Every point of the perfect experiment has to go through tens of thousands of calculations and experiments. The final error has been reduced to the limit of this era, even if we really simulate the most perfect mountain blasting experiment."
But who can guarantee that everything will go as perfectly as planned on the day of implementation?
A plan is a plan. Liang Chongyue tried his best to perfect the plan and accepted all possible changes that might occur during its implementation.
"You should also take a day off and go out for a good time. Tomorrow, once the geomancer brings over the blueprints, you'll be able to control the little robot to lay mines in the nest."
This task could not be left to the soldiers, because Liang Chongyue had to accomplish both the task of blowing up the mountain and annihilating the monsters at the same time.
"Really? Can I go play with Xiang Yu now?"
Liang Chongyue nodded, and the system immediately closed the panel and rushed outside.
There was not a trace of concern he had just expressed about the perfection of the experimental data.
The moment the system rushed out, it seemed to be sending a signal to the palace servants in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
After getting up, Liang Chongyue poured himself a cup of aged tea, and felt much better after drinking it.
"Your Majesty, are you going to court today?"
Liang Chongyue responded, and Yunling immediately handed the casual clothes she was holding to a palace maid standing nearby.
A row of dragon robes was pulled out from behind the screen, waiting for Liang Chongyue to choose.
It hadn't been long since Liang Chongyue had attended court, yet he now felt a sense of familiarity when he saw the dragon robe.
"The one on the side, please."
Yunling took off the dragon robe personally chosen by His Majesty, helped His Majesty wash up, and then accompanied His Majesty to court.
Your Majesty's absence from court for a few days will not affect the daily attendance of your court officials.
His Majesty didn't give a definite answer either.
Who knows, maybe one day when they don't come, His Majesty will start attending court again.
His Majesty can dismiss court at any time, but they cannot.
