"Master Ji, the Emperor's actions over the past two years have become more and more pro-poor."

"If this continues, where will we have a place in the court?"

The one who spoke was one of the Nine Ministers.

He had a deep resentment towards Yan Mingjue.

It would be fine if they didn't have a harem, but now they have created so many poor families to suppress the clan.

"We should have expected this."

"The emperor could not tolerate the noble families before, so naturally he cannot tolerate us either."

"My Lords, what should we do?"

A group of people complained, but no one dared to say anything disrespectful.

They had already experienced each other's methods before the emperor ascended the throne, and in the past two years, the monarch's centralization of power has been maximized.

The Imperial Censor Ji looked at everyone.

"What should we do? Since everyone is here, I believe you all have some ideas, so let's talk about it!"

After these words were spoken, the room was silent for a while, and finally someone said:

"Let's submit a memorial together. I don't believe the emperor will remain indifferent."

Someone immediately refuted,

"Others may obey, but our emperor definitely won't!"

"He might be eager for us to vacate the position as soon as possible."

Several people looked bitter when they heard this. Indeed, this was something the emperor could do.

"What about that?"

Someone hesitated and said:

"I heard that the Queen is pregnant!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell silent again.

Lord Ji looked at that man.

"Master Huang, what do you want?"

Mr. Huang shook his head quickly.

"I don't care about it. I just heard about it."

No one is stupid, and everyone knows that the Queen Mother is the Emperor's Achilles' heel, but not everyone has the courage to take advantage of the Queen Mother.

The group of people were silent for a while, and finally someone said:

"There was a misunderstanding between the Empress and the Emperor before, and the Emperor almost..."

"If we really want the emperor to change his mind, I'm afraid we can only start with the queen."

"..."

The group of people discussed for a long time, and after they left, Lord Ji leaned back in his chair with a serious expression.

As for him, he naturally doesn't want more people to come out of poor families.

Behind him is not only him, but the entire family.

But, is it so easy for the emperor to surrender?

We still need to consider this matter carefully!

As more and more young men from poor families came to prominence, the court became restless every day. What Yan Mingjue hated most now was the morning court session, but he still had no choice but to be patient.

He did not tell Su Qingwan about these troubles. Now that Su Qingwan was pregnant, nothing could affect her mood.

But even so, Su Qingwan guessed it, because in recent times, many ladies of noble titles have been asking for an audience, and even the palace concubines would talk to her from time to time.

These concubines do not represent themselves, but the families behind them.

When Concubine Shu came over that day, she first exchanged greetings with Su Qingwan and talked about their business. Then she changed the subject and mentioned that more and more people were skipping the imperial examination and becoming officials directly.

"Empress, although the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs, you are a smart person and you will definitely think of the disadvantages of this matter."

"If this continues, those students will become discouraged and want to find other ways to pursue their studies. What should we do?"

Su Qingwan did not express her opinion in front of Concubine Shu, but just smiled. However, after Concubine Shu left, her face became cold.
