In the court, when the new emperor announced the restoration of Prime Minister Shen, it aroused strong opposition from Duke Qing and Marquis Zhongyong.

They brought up the previous excuse of Prime Minister Shen forcing the emperor to abdicate, saying that sparing his life was already a great blessing from heaven.

Not to mention reinstating him at this point is simply ridiculous.

He also said that if Your Majesty acted in this way, it would discourage the old ministers and would even encourage some people to be disloyal.

Anyway, even rebellion will be forgiven and the official can be reinstated. No one will accept such a light punishment.

When Duke Qing said these words, the Queen Mother was beside him. As the regent Queen Mother, she had absolute say in the court.

So, when Duke Qing raised his objection, the Queen Mother got angry.

"As the old saying goes, it is the greatest blessing to admit your mistakes and correct them. Now that Prime Minister Shen has come to his senses, why can't he forgive him? You guys are being aggressive, don't think I don't know what you are thinking."

No one expected that the Queen Mother would directly attack, which simply cut off the retreat of Duke Qing and others.

Duke Qing quickly knelt down and said in fear, "Queen Dowager, I am very afraid. The hearts of our subjects are known to all, and we have no selfish motives."

But he was cursing in his heart, wondering what was wrong with this woman's brain. How dare she promote such a person? Did she think the Great Yan Kingdom was too stable?

Women in the harem are women in the harem, with long hair and little knowledge.

The most incredible thing is that the old emperor was so confused that he actually allowed such an ignorant woman to be regent.

It is clear that when he was alive, he had always been very averse to the harem interfering in politics. Why did he issue such an imperial decree when he was dying? He must have been drugged by that woman and his mind was not clear.

Duke Qing's suspicion is not without reason. If he really followed the old emperor's wishes, he would never let the empress dowager be regent.

He would never have imagined that this woman with long hair and little knowledge in front of him would not only forge the imperial edict, but also dare to harm the old emperor.

In fact, it was also because the emperor and the empress were too affectionate before, so no one would have thought that the little white flower empress dowager would one day kill the old emperor.

"Since you don't mean that, then why are you still wasting your words? Prime Minister Shen is reinstated, and that's settled." The Queen Mother made the final decision.

No one among His Highness's men dared to speak out.

Many pedantic old ministers wailed in their hearts, it was all over, letting such an ignorant woman and child be regent, God was going to destroy their Great Yan Kingdom.

Looking up, I saw the young emperors with worried faces.

Zhao Xun saw all of this and lowered his eyes slightly to hide the light in them.

Afterwards, Zhao Xun promoted several unknown people and placed them in inconspicuous positions.

Others didn't say anything either. They would never have thought that the little emperor was paving the way for his own people.

Most of those positions are hard and tiring, but they are also the ones that can produce the most achievements.

Many high-ranking officials, because they have the protection of their ancestors, disdain those positions.

Often, it is pursued by scholars from poor families.

However, speaking nicely can achieve the best results, but without support from above, it is still difficult to make any progress.

In the court of the Great Yan State, high positions are basically controlled by a few aristocratic families, and it is very difficult for people from poor families to climb up.

Only by climbing up to a high position can the poor have a chance to move up, but by that time, the poor have become the in-laws of the rich, making the rich even more intertwined, and their power grows little by little.

If Zhao Xun wants to break this situation, then he will inevitably have to touch the interests of some people from high-ranking families.

This is a historical criticism and it has been going on for a long time. His kingdom is like a thousand-mile dam. It looks prosperous on the surface, but in fact it is already full of termites.

A thousand-mile dam can be breached by a single ant hole. The country left by his father has now reached such a serious situation.

Among the four great regent ministers, in addition to Prime Minister Shen, Duke Qing, and Marquis Zhongyong, there is also the Great General who guards the country.

The Great General Guarding the Nation is a neutral person. He followed the old emperor in battles in his early years and has a high reputation in the army.

Later, after entering the court, he was also a highly respected person.

His loyalty to the Great Yan State is beyond doubt, and heaven and earth can bear witness to it.

After leaving court, Zhao Xun went straight to Luanfeng Palace.

Today she found that the atmosphere in Luanfeng Palace was a little different. Everyone had a happy face and a hint of excitement in their eyes.

He took a few quick steps and walked into the bedroom, where he saw his beloved wife sitting on the couch with a gentle look on her face.

He hurried forward, picked up a banana from the table, and said while peeling it, "Huan'er, did anything happen today? Why does the atmosphere in your palace seem a little weird?"

Really, the emperor doesn't behave like a good person at all.

In fact, Zhao Xun was used to it. Whenever he arrived at Luanfeng Palace, he felt very relaxed.

And he never acted like an emperor in front of Shen Yihuan. The relationship between the two of them was more like that of a common couple.

As for Shen Yihuan, every time he saw this, he couldn't help but want to stink at him.

"You are already an emperor, why are you still so careless?"

"That's just on my wife's side. I've been dealing with things outside all day and I'm very tired. Do I have to continue to act like this when I come back? Can you bear it?" Zhao Xun came forward and leaned his head on Shen Yihuan's shoulder and acted coquettishly like he used to.

The palace servants could not bear to watch it any longer, so they quietly closed the door and retreated.

In fact, they were already accustomed to the emperor's behavior towards the queen.

After all, most of the people around Shen Yihuan were brought from the Eastern Palace.

I saw it a lot when I was in the Eastern Palace, and I'm used to it.

"I can't bear it, I can't bear it." Shen Yi held Zhao Xun's head with a smile and kissed him on the lips.

Zhao Xun's eyes lit up. Could it be that his young wife was so proactive? How could a grown man like him lose to a little woman?

So he pulled Shen Yihuan up, sat down on the couch, let his little wife sit on his lap, and chased her with a smile.

As they kissed, he gradually felt something and his hands started to become unruly, and he slipped into his wife's clothes without anyone noticing.

As a result, as soon as he reached in, his hand was suddenly grabbed.

"My husband, not today."

"Ah? Are good days coming?" Zhao Xun was a little disappointed, with resentment in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yihuan shook her head, smiled tenderly, leaned into his arms and said shyly: "Didn't you just ask me why the atmosphere in my palace is a bit strange?"

"Oh, I forgot what happened."

Shen Yihuan looked up at him with bright eyes, then took one of his big hands and gently placed it on her lower abdomen.

"My dear husband, I am pregnant. The imperial physician has just confirmed that I am two months pregnant."

Zhao Xun's eyes opened wider and wider, and ecstasy welled up in his eyes.
