To some shrewd people, the empress's remarks seemed to indicate that she was going to reshuffle the court of Yunsheng.

How does this work?

They have worked hard and schemed for most of their lives and finally climbed to the top of the power tower. How could they abdicate so easily?

After Su Yunxuan finished speaking, several people looked up in dissatisfaction at the same time.

But the empress at the top looked calm.

Except for the headband still covering his forehead, his brows were filled with unquestionable authority, and the eyes that glanced down at the people below were so deep that they seemed to be able to see into people's hearts.

In just a moment, his eyes met theirs accurately.

His eyes then fixed, and his gaze instantly became as sharp as an arrow. An unquestionable majesty instantly emanated from him, as if rushing towards him. The power of an emperor was instantly revealed, forcing people to not dare to look him in the face.

They lowered their heads in haste, some feeling terrified and uneasy, while others secretly glanced at King Xu unwillingly.

In their hearts, Prince Xu was not only the representative at the top of their tower of power, but also the one who dared the most and actually offended the empress several times.

If the empress really wants to restart the court, Prince Xu should be the first to bear the brunt and should be the first to stand up to safeguard his own interests.

To their disappointment, Prince Xu stood there with his back straight, not moving at all, and even lowered his eyes, not daring to look up at the empress.

King Xu, do you have any objection to this?

......Since when did even Prince Xu become so afraid of the Empress?

Thinking of how Prince Xu had repeatedly and mercilessly contradicted the abdicated emperor Su Jibei in the court, their fear of the empress Su Yunxuan suddenly increased, and they became more and more panicked.

Unconsciously, he lowered his head even lower.

Some people felt an overwhelming sense of crisis, while others gradually realized that the mission of delivering food to the disaster area was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for promotion.

Especially those female officials who had just entered the court and had their first taste of power, status and honor were extremely excited.

Not only do they have the opportunity to go to places they never dared to dream of before to broaden their horizons, but they don't have to do it alone. Once things are done, they will have the opportunity to move up to a higher level when they come back. It is truly a great opportunity.

The majority of young male officials, who had been oppressed for many years by a small number of powerful, deeply rooted and unshakable people, also saw the dawn of hope.

The body language and expressions of the people below gradually changed significantly.

Looking closely at the expressions on their faces, Su Yunxuan was certain in her heart that most of the court officials in Yun Sheng would support her decision this time.

Feeling at ease, Su Yunxuan fixed her eyes on King Xu, who had been slow to express his opinion.

Until today's court meeting, Prince Xu had not sent anyone to deliver her hairpin. Su Yunxuan was puzzled about the progress of Prince Xu's negotiations with Feng Yuqi, so she asked, "Does Prince Xu have any advice for my arrangement?"

When King Xu heard Su Yunxuan directly call his name, his heart tightened.

How could he not know the intention of those looks given to him?

From the moment Su Yunxuan's first words came out of his mouth, he was shocked.

Unlike those old ministers who held high positions like him, his focus was not on the shaking of his own status. He was once again amazed at the speed of growth of Su Yunxuan, the empress.

Su Yunxuan is not afraid of hard work, always cares about the people, considers everything carefully, always rushes to the forefront, and always puts the people first in everything.

Not long after she came to power, she understood the governing philosophy that the country is based on the people and the society is established for the people, and she was worthy of the position of Empress Yunsheng.

What is even more commendable is that she repeatedly came up with surprising strategies, was not afraid of authority, and dared to break the old rules, and she completely revitalized the Yunsheng court, which had been like a stagnant pool of water for many years.

This brave execution and this fearless spirit all amazed King Xu.

Before Su Yunxuan called his name, he was silently thinking of his old friend Bai Muchuan.

He was pleased that his and Bai Muchuan's common wish could finally be achieved, but he also felt sorry that Bai Muchuan was not able to see the new, vibrant Yunsheng court that would develop in an increasingly positive direction like him.

Hearing Su Yunxuan's question, King Xu suddenly looked up.

On the high platform, the empress's young face looked calm and composed. The look she gave him was extremely peaceful, yet her whole body seemed to emanate an irresistible aura.

The naturally revealed aura of an emperor dominating the world makes people feel awe, and at the same time, there is a sense of coldness, nobility, and elegance that makes people reluctant to look away... a fairy-like beauty that is not like that of a human being...

Strong and weak, two completely opposite temperaments bloom simultaneously on this young empress, yet they do not seem inconsistent, as if she was born with such temperament.

Seeing that Prince Xu was staring at her and not saying anything, Su Yunxuan raised her eyebrows slightly and said in a calm tone: "Since Prince Xu doesn't speak, I will assume that you agree with my decision..."

Prince Xu came back to his senses and instinctively took a big step forward, bowed to the leader and interrupted, "I think that those who are old should not go on this trip."

As soon as he said this, the older court officials immediately nodded in agreement.

After a moment, all the civil and military officials in the court looked up with different thoughts.

Some people were secretly happy, thinking that Prince Xu had finally taken action against the Empress;

Some people were nervous, worried that Prince Xu's unreasonable interruption of the empress would make the empress feel that her authority was challenged and she would be furious;

Some people secretly sneered at King Xu's words, thinking that King Xu should not use his age as an excuse. If he didn't need to work hard because he was old, why didn't he just resign and give way to these rising stars?

Some people secretly felt sorry for the empress. As the saying goes, military orders are like mountains, and the emperor's majesty cannot be offended. Prince Xu actually openly provoked the empress. The empress should punish Prince Xu severely...

Su Yunxuan silently scanned the expressions of the civil and military officials in the court, her expression remaining calm.

After a moment, she fixed her gaze on Prince Xu again, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said approvingly: "I was not thoughtful enough, Prince Xu is right."

As she spoke, she looked at the crowd and said loudly: "Some of you have devoted yourself to Yun Sheng for decades, working diligently and loyally. You have indeed made great contributions. I will remember this in my heart and treat you with courtesy.

Old ministers who are past the age of knowing what is wrong do not need to participate in this mission."

"Thank you, Her Majesty, for your consideration. I have no objection." King Xu shouted loudly and bowed his head respectfully.

After a moment, the people below followed suit and bowed respectfully in unison.

Su Yunxuan nodded with satisfaction, and under everyone's gaze, she said majestically: "This mission is of great responsibility. Only by completely eradicating the epidemic and helping the people rebuild their homes as soon as possible can Yunsheng gradually restore its former glory.

Every citizen has a share of responsibility for the success or failure of a country. All of you are the pillars of the country and the capable ministers of the society. I hope you can put the country first, work together, offer suggestions, and help our country prosper and our people live in peace and well-being."
