As the days passed, Yan Mingjue came up with a compromise, which was to establish a new system called the Five Departments.

The Five Departments are mainly industry, agriculture, commerce, medicine, and special affairs. The Five Departments are not included in the Three Dukes, Nine Ministers, and Six Ministries.

They are an independent system. Those selected into the five departments must have special skills. They are under the jurisdiction of the imperial court and receive salaries from the imperial court.

What makes them different from the six ministries is that they only study the best methods and do not get involved in other affairs.

As soon as he issued this imperial edict, the tense atmosphere in the court eased a lot.

Although the clans are not completely satisfied, the current situation is much better than they imagined.

As long as the imperial examination continues and their cakes are not touched, the emperor can do whatever he wants to them.

After hearing this, Lan Xiang only sighed.

"Sure enough, the only one who can persuade the Emperor is the Empress."

He knew in his heart that the emperor had not thought of using such a gentle method at the beginning.

It was all because of the Queen that the Emperor changed his mind.

This method is the best strategy as it can implement the new policy without excessively exacerbating conflicts.

When the new policy was gradually promoted, the imperial examination system would inevitably be affected in the future. It was a pity that the people of those clans had not yet seen through this truth.

However, no matter what, the situation has finally stabilized.

Prime Minister Lan felt that he could finally relax and devote himself to teaching the two princes.

He found that the eldest prince was now much more stable than before. Although he still liked dancing and playing with guns, when he talked about those things, the eldest prince was able to calm down and listen.

Moreover, after spending a long time in contact with the eldest prince, he discovered that the eldest prince was much better than he had imagined.

Although he is sometimes naughty, he has a kind heart.

For example, when he talked about the snow disaster that year, the second prince would propose a solution, but he looked indifferent.

The eldest prince could empathize more, and all the methods he provided were truly for the consideration of the people, not just to complete the task.

If he didn't understand why the emperor hesitated before, now he understood a little.

Compared to the cold and aloof Second Prince, the First Prince is more suitable to be the ruler of a country.

Prime Minister Lan also reported all these matters to Yan Mingjue in detail. As for the final decision, that was up to the emperor.

He was not worried that the two brothers would fight for the throne in the future. He had never seen such humble brothers.

The two brothers care about each other. Such brotherly love and respect are rare not only in the royal family, but also among the common people.

Su Qingwan was very pleased to hear this. She had very little to do recently, and when she had time, she would call the two children together and ask them about their daily affairs in detail.

The two brothers enjoy this time the most. They feel that nothing has changed, just like when they were in the southwest.

Qingmu would come to check Su Qingwan's pulse every ten days. Su Qingwan's pulse had always been good, without any problems.

However, one day, when she got up, she suddenly realized something was wrong and immediately asked someone to call the imperial physician.

At this time, Yan Mingjue was attending the morning court. Upon hearing the news, he immediately said, "Dismiss the court" and left quickly.

The court officials gathered in groups of three or four. Everyone saw Yan Mingjue's expression change drastically, and they all speculated what had happened.

"I'm afraid something may have happened to the Queen."

Said the experienced minister.

After all, who else in the world could make the Emperor do this except the Empress?
