The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

If the six ministries were only responsible for implementing government orders, their own power would be greatly weakened. Since ancient times, the court has always been a struggle for power between court officials and the emperor. Sometimes the emperor had to be constrained by court officials.

But once the cabinet was established, it would be impossible for court officials to restrain the emperor.

"Your Majesty, this is not allowed!" The moment the decree was issued, someone stood up. This person was the Left Prime Minister Huang Lizhi.

He was considered a veteran of the two dynasties of the Great Western Dynasty, and was promoted by the late emperor. He had not participated in the princes' fight for the throne before.

Therefore, when Prince Ling was cleaning up the court, he was not affected. The establishment of the cabinet had the greatest impact on him, which was equivalent to directly removing him as the prime minister!

He is from the Huang family, one of the three great families, and at least one-fifth of the people in the entire court are his students and old friends.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this action goes against the ancestral system. Please think twice!" Right Prime Minister Ye Zhongzhi also spoke at this time.

He and the Left Prime Minister share the same fate. The cabinet is trying to seize the power of the two of them. How could he just sit back and do nothing?

"Your Majesty, please think twice and do not shake the foundation of the country!" At this time, the six ministers also jumped out. As he jumped out, the other officials in the court looked at each other. Some officials hesitated and stood up.

Some officials are waiting and watching, and have not stepped forward.

Seeing this, Li Changle narrowed her eyes slightly, exuding a chill as she said, "What if I insist on setting up a cabinet?! What will you do..."

She would definitely implement this decree, no matter what resistance she encountered, she could not change it. She wanted to see how these court officials would respond.

The court officials were slightly surprised when they heard this. They thought that if so many of them stood up, the new empress would be frightened. Then, they would take back their orders.

But who would have thought that the empress in front of them was not a pushover and actually went against them. Thinking of this, the left prime minister Huang Lizhi said coldly:

"If Your Majesty insists on doing it your own way, then I can only resign! I beg Your Majesty to grant me your approval!"

As soon as he said this, the Right Prime Minister and the six ministers looked at each other and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, please withdraw your order. If Your Majesty insists on doing it your way, we can only resign!"

As soon as they said this, people in the court echoed them. At least two-thirds of the officials offered to resign.

As for the rest of the people, they were just there to watch the fun. With so many people threatening to resign, the emperor would have no choice but to revoke his order if he wanted to implement it.

However, just when everyone thought that Li Changle would be forced into a corner by them, they heard Li Changle say calmly: "Since Mr. Huang and Mr. Ye are unable to serve the court, I will approve your resignation requests! By the way, the six ministers also want to resign, right? I will approve that too!"

Having said this, Li Changle looked at the other officials and said with a cold smile: "By the way, if anyone else wants to resign, I will approve it!"

As soon as Li Changle said this, the left and right prime ministers and the six ministers were stunned. They just wanted to threaten Li Changle with resignation.

But who would have thought that Li Changle actually agreed, not worrying at all that the court would be paralyzed after the officials resigned.

Some people felt regretful. If they had known that the empress was so decisive, they should not have threatened her. Now, not only did their threats fail, but they also lost their positions. Isn't this asking for trouble?

Among the officials who had followed the left and right prime ministers and the six ministers in threatening, at least most of them retreated.

They are not like the two prime ministers and the six ministers. It is not easy to get to this position. If they are fired, it will be difficult to get up again.

Unless the Daxi Dynasty is destroyed or the emperor is replaced, they will never be able to climb to a high position again in their lifetime.

Now with Jiang Fan as the backing, as long as Jiang Fan doesn't leave, the Daxi Dynasty is not without salvation.

Moreover, judging by the empress's decisiveness in killing, she is definitely a heroic ruler. Maybe, she can really lead the Great Western Dynasty to glory.

Therefore, in addition to the two prime ministers, even among the six ministers, some people have already backed off. After all, for them, the power loss is not that great.

Only two phases are most affected, so why should they get involved in this mess?

Therefore, after Li Changle uttered the last sentence, most people fell silent, and no one dared to threaten him anymore.

Seeing the court officials retreating all of a sudden, Huang Lizhi and Ye Zhongzhi's faces changed slightly, and they were in a difficult situation for a moment.

However, now that things have come to this, the two felt that they absolutely could not back down, otherwise they would lose all face.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! I'm leaving now..." Huang Lizhi bowed, took off his official hat, turned around and walked out.

Ye Zhongzhi also took off his official hat coldly. As Huang Lizhi left, four of the six ministers also took off their hats and left.

As for the remaining two ministers, they shrank their necks and said nothing more. Among the remaining court officials, some took off their hats and left.

However, these people only accounted for one quarter of the total number of officials. There were still three quarters of the officials left in the court. These people looked hesitant and wanted to leave but could not make up their minds.

The six honest officials on the other side looked at all this in astonishment, and were unable to come back to their senses for a long time. They could not have imagined that the empress would be so upright.

But the empress's move won their hearts. After all, the prime minister had too much power, and the court was full of cliques, which also led to corruption in the administration.

Sometimes they are powerless. The empress simply abolished the power of the prime minister and formed a cabinet. As long as everything goes smoothly, it will not take long for the entire court structure to change drastically.

Several people could not imagine that Li Changle had such talent and such a sophisticated political system. They looked at Li Changle with a hint of respect.

The reason why these people stood up against Li Changle was simply because they felt that Li Changle was not qualified for this position and were afraid that she would harm the country, so they strongly opposed it.

But now it seems that their vision is too narrow. Their determination is shaken.

However, although the empress has some talents, she is too rigid and may find it difficult to realize her ambitions. But thinking that the empress has the support of Jiang Fan, the King of Qin of Dayan, and has a strong military force, perhaps she can really change the entire Great Western Dynasty.

They looked at each other and saw what the other was thinking.

At this time, Li Changle said, "Very good, there shouldn't be any of the remaining ministers who will resign, right? Since there isn't, I will promote a few officials to fill the vacancies in the six ministries!"

As soon as Li Changle said this, all those who had not resigned from their posts suddenly looked overjoyed, with a fiery look in their eyes, especially those who held low positions.

The two prime ministers and the six ministers were missing four people, and many officials above the third rank, fourth rank and fifth rank officials resigned. There were many vacancies.
