Get pregnant soon, and beauties will have many happy pregnancies

In the previous dynasty, whenever a beauty contest was mentioned, Ji Yunhuan would select a group of female officials. The Fengwei used to be in charge of logistics and supplies, but now, in order to support the battlefield in the northern border and allocate supplies, the Ministry of Households is basically under the control of Ji Yunhuan.

Gradually, female officials began to appear in the Ministry of Revenue. The noble ladies who had originally gone to the emperor suddenly found a way to the sky. They could become officials by following the empress! Moreover, they were officials who could manage affairs, not just empty titles.

There are few female officials and they are promoted quickly. In time, their official titles may be higher than those of their fathers and brothers.

The ministers in the court finally figured it out. With the Empress around, it would be impossible for His Majesty to have more children in the palace and have many descendants. The Emperor and Empress would rule together, and the hens would crow at dawn. This was a bad sign.

How could the court officials, who were always eager to fight with each other for no reason, miss this opportunity? Soon, a group of people reached a conspiracy and prepared to "advise" His Majesty at the grand court meeting.

Lin Yuan got wind of the news and threw the pen in his hand in anger. "I think they are just bored! As officials appointed by the court, they don't think about how to govern the country and benefit the people. They just stare at my harem all day long. People like these who are just sitting there doing nothing should be killed!"

Lin Yuan gritted his teeth, already deciding which unlucky guy to capture first.

Ji Yunhuan calmly picked up the brush and put it into Lin Yuan's hand, saying calmly, "Don't be so impatient, don't scare the children. If you kill them, it will only serve their purpose. They will continue to make death-defying protests over and over again. Civil servants like to do this."

"Don't worry, I have a plan that will make them line up to invite me."

The next day there will be a large court meeting.

As soon as Ji Yunhuan sat down, someone knelt down and said, "I dare to ask the Queen to return to the palace. Since ancient times, the harem has not been allowed to interfere in politics. The Queen should be virtuous and gentle, and help Your Majesty expand the harem, instead of summoning foreign ministers all day long and letting a group of women serve as officials in the court. How can this be a disgrace!"

Someone started the conversation, and then there was a flood of responses, one after another, quoting from classics and speaking eloquently, as if Ji Yunhuan was treasonously trying to usurp the throne and should be punished by death if he didn't leave the hall.

Lin Yuan's face was already very dark, but thinking about Huan'er's plan, he barely suppressed his anger and listened to the people below talking nonsense.

Imperial Censor Qi took a step forward and shouted, "I will bleed into the Golden Palace today. I only hope Your Majesty will wake up!"

As he spoke, Censor Qi lunged forward and hit his head against a pillar. The people around him immediately tried to pull him back. Of course, Censor Qi did not die, but he did suffer a bloody head injury, which was quite heroic.

Inside the hall, some people were trying to persuade, some were crying, shouting and cursing, some were banging their heads on the ground, making a lot of noise, it was very lively.

Ji Yunhuan felt that the time was right, so he winked at Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan stood up, as if touched. "You are all really loyal and brave, serving the country and the people. I have been on the throne for a short time, and I am fortunate to have you, my trusted ministers, advising me from time to time. In this case, the queen should stay in the harem and take good care of her pregnancy, and I will go to court alone."

The officials below were stunned for a moment. They didn't expect the victory to come so suddenly, which gave them a feeling of unreality.

They also thought that it would take at least three or five disturbances, and the death of one or two loyal and outspoken ministers, before the emperor would give in.

Censor Qi wiped the blood off his face, immediately knelt down, two lines of hot tears streaming down his face, and he cried inconsolably.

"I have been promoted by Your Majesty, but I am ashamed that I cannot repay Your Majesty's kindness. Today, Your Majesty has accepted all good advice. You are truly a wise ruler of the world! Long live Your Majesty!"

The ministers all knelt on the ground, shouting "Long live the emperor!", and everyone was very happy.

After that, Ji Yunhuan really stopped attending court. She moved back to Yunfeng Palace, taking a break from her busy life to accompany An An in reading and practicing calligraphy.

The court was in an uproar.

Without the Queen's advice, His Majesty acted like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, and became more and more reckless in his actions.

Lin Yuan half leaned on the dragon throne, his eyes slightly narrowed, and a dangerous aura emanated from his body.

"Oh? So it's Jeju City. I remember the last governor of Jeju City was named Yan, I think. He was also killed by me."

"At that time, I was still a bandit. I killed with such pleasure that blood splattered everywhere. Later, the people hacked that guy to pieces so many times that there was not even a piece of good meat left."

"Send the order to behead the governor of Jeju City and hang his corpse at the city gate for three days and three nights to let the people vent their anger."

An official immediately came out to plead, "Your Majesty, this must not happen! How can you so easily kill a prefect based on a few nonsense words of a troublemaker? You should summon the prefect of Jeju and conduct a thorough investigation. Once the truth is found, it will not be too late to deal with it."

Lin Yuan sneered, "Do you think I'm a fool? If we really investigate, you can come up with many excuses. It will take several months to investigate. The people of Jeju City can't wait."

"When I was a bandit, I could kill corrupt officials. How come I can't kill them now that I'm the emperor? This doesn't make sense. Dragon Guards, step out and go now!"

The ministers were unable to stop the emperor at all, and they were all very terrified. If a real investigation started, they wouldn't dare to say that they had no problems at all. Wouldn't that mean they all had to put their heads on the line, waiting to see when the emperor wanted to chop someone down?

It was obviously not like this in the past. The emperor would first lock people up, at least giving the officials a chance to defend themselves, or hand over the stolen money to save their lives. But now it is just killing, killing, killing! There is no room for turning back.

They can no longer remember how many high-ranking officials they have killed this month.

Someone said angrily, "Even if what those people said is true, the governor of Jeju only withheld some grain and embezzled some farming machinery, which is not worth much silver. Your Majesty wants to kill people for such a small mistake. It's too cruel!"

Lin Yuan smiled grimly, "I won this throne by fighting, not by talking. I kept you around only because you are useful. Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

"It is imperative to promote new grain varieties. What he is greedy for is not the grain, but the hope of the people of Jeju for the coming year. The grain varieties were distributed by the court for free, but he made up excuses and sold them to the people at high prices, forcing them to sell their children to buy the grain varieties. Shouldn't such a person be killed?"

"Jin State has perished, now it is Yun State! The law has been issued, and those who violate it must be killed! I like to kill corrupt officials. Madam Cen said that there are many scholars in Qingshan Academy, and there will be no shortage of people no matter how many we kill. You can decide for yourselves, and the court is dismissed!"

Tu Guangjun looked at the anxious ministers with contempt in his heart. This idiot really thought he could defeat the Queen Mother. It was so funny.

He also pretended to be worried and suggested: "Your Majesty is stubborn and we cannot persuade him. The only solution now is to ask the Queen. The Queen was born in Luojing, so she will understand our painstaking efforts and will definitely persuade Your Majesty."
