Jiang Zhaoyuan frowned, "Your Majesty is seriously ill, and we are all worried. It is our duty to share the affairs with Your Majesty. Is the Princess saying that she doesn't trust the Cabinet?!"

The eldest princess smiled.

"Why is Lord Jiang so angry? I am just like you, and I am devoted to His Majesty and the country. His Majesty is not feeling well and needs to rest. It is not good to let him worry about state affairs. I just suggest that all memorials be sent to the Qiyuan Hall from now on, and the cabinet ministers and I will discuss it together. Is this not okay?"

Jiang Zhaoyuan felt a lump in his chest.

That sounds nice!

Discuss with her?

This is clearly an attempt to supervise the country!
But the eldest princess had a noble status and was quite prestigious in the court. Even if Jiang Zhaoyuan opposed it in his heart, it would be difficult for him to break off relations with her directly.

He took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions.

"Please don't misunderstand me, Princess. I have no other intentions. It's just that... this is a matter of great importance, and I dare not make a decision on my own—"

"You can't make decisions on your own, otherwise it will all be my fault." The princess interrupted him, slowly looked around, and said calmly, "If your majesty blames me in the future, I will bear it all!"

Jiang Zhaoyuan was so angry that he almost died.

The eldest princess is clearly fearless!
What is her identity?
His Majesty is very respectful to her, even if something really goes wrong in the future, he will never blame her!
In the end, they are just taking out their anger on the people under them!
More importantly, once she intervenes, then... no matter what they want to do, it will be inconvenient.

Jiang Zhaoyuan certainly didn't want anyone to share his power.

He sat in the top seat in the entire cabinet because he was deeply trusted by Emperor Mu Wu and had many followers and cronies, so he had great influence.

It is no exaggeration to say that he has absolute power in the cabinet.

Now that the eldest princess wants to get involved, I don’t know how much more trouble will arise!

At this moment, Chen Songshi, who was standing in the back row, suddenly spoke:
"I think the princess's suggestion is very good."

Jiang Zhaoyuan frowned even deeper and looked at Chen Songshi.

Chen Songshi seemed to have completely ignored his look and continued, "The country cannot be without a ruler for a day. Now that your majesty is in poor health, it would be great if the princess could come forward to take charge of the situation." He glanced in the direction of the main hall, stroked his beard, and seemed to be thinking:
"In my humble opinion, from today onwards, the cabinet should send one more person to take turns to guard Your Majesty day and night. If there is something that cannot be decided, Your Majesty can be informed in time. What do you think, Princess?"

The princess thought about it and nodded in agreement: "That's the best way."

Jiang Zhaoyuan's hands were already clenched in his sleeves.

Chen Songshi and he have always had different tempers, but in the past, the two of them had kept to themselves. This time, Chen Songshi's actions clearly showed that he wanted to go against him!
The eldest princess glanced at the other people.

"Do you have any other comments?"

Several ministers looked at each other.

Jiang Zhaoyuan and the eldest princess were fighting each other. Chen Songshi was a stubborn person and was not afraid of offending anyone, but they were different.

The current situation...

"We, your humble servants, will follow the decision of the Princess."

The eldest princess was not surprised by this result.

If it were in the past, they naturally would not dare to offend Jiang Zhaoyuan easily, but once Xiao Chengxuan lost power, Jiang Zhaoyuan naturally had no hope.

She immediately said, "Okay. Let's start today."

Her eyes moved slightly and fell on Jiang Zhaoyuan.

"Lord Jiang should have several memorials in his hands. Hand them all over and let's see them."

She paused.

"Let's start with Su Wei's memorial." (End of this chapter)
