Ah, you traveled through time too?

As the emperor gradually strengthened his power and regained control of the situation, Empress Dowager Xiao Minghui also realized that she had to adopt a more cautious and clever strategy to deal with the emperor's counterattack. She decided to have in-depth dialogues with some important ministers in the court to ensure her position and influence.

One morning, the Queen Mother summoned several of her trusted ministers to her bedroom, including Lord Li, Lord Wang, and Lord Zhang. They were all supporters that the Queen Mother had cultivated for many years and were very familiar with her reform plans and power layout.

"My Lords, you have all seen the recent situation in the palace. The Emperor has gradually strengthened his control over finance and the military. Although our reforms have made some progress, they also face new challenges," the Queen Mother said straight to the point.

Lord Li spoke first: "Queen Dowager, your reform measures are indeed beneficial to the country, but the emperor's attitude makes us worried. He seems to be suspicious of our actions, which is not conducive to our reforms."

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Lord Li, you are right. The emperor is young and energetic, so he is bound to be suspicious. We must use some means to make him believe in our loyalty while continuing to promote our reforms."

Lord Wang took over the topic: "Queen Mother, we can increase transparency and reduce the emperor's doubts through some public measures. At the same time, we must continue to strengthen control over finance and the military to ensure the smooth progress of reform."

Lord Zhang added: "Empress Dowager, we still need to cultivate more supporters in the court, especially those ministers who are loyal to the emperor. If we can gain their support, our reforms will be more stable."

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Everyone's suggestions are very good. I have decided to take the following measures: First, we must increase transparency in financial and military reforms so that everyone can see our efforts and results. Second, we must strengthen our ties with those ministers who are loyal to the Emperor and win their support. Finally, we must continue to advance reforms to ensure the stability and development of the country."

Lord Li nodded in agreement: "Queen Mother, your decision is very wise. We will fully cooperate to ensure that every measure can be implemented smoothly."

Lord Wang also expressed his support: "Queen Dowager, we will increase transparency through some public channels to reduce the emperor's doubts. At the same time, we will continue to strengthen control over finance and the military to ensure the smooth progress of the reform."

Lord Zhang added: "Empress Dowager, we will pay close attention to those ministers who are loyal to the emperor, and through some measures, we will win their support and make our reforms more stable."

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction: "Very good. Everyone should continue to work hard to ensure that our plan can be implemented smoothly. I believe that as long as we unite as one, we will be able to overcome all difficulties and achieve our goals."

Under the careful planning of the Queen Mother, several trusted ministers began to follow her instructions and gradually promote various reform measures. They increased the transparency of financial and military reforms through some public channels, allowing the ministers in the court to see the results of the reforms.

At the same time, Lord Li and Lord Wang actively contacted those ministers who were loyal to the emperor to win their support. Through a series of efforts, the Queen Mother's reforms gradually gained recognition and support from more people.

One day, Lord Li announced some of the results of the financial reforms at the court meeting and gave a detailed introduction to the specific progress of the reforms to the emperor and other ministers.

"Your Majesty, fellow ministers, we have recently achieved some remarkable results in fiscal reform. Through a series of measures, we have successfully increased the country's revenue, reduced waste, and ensured fiscal stability," Lord Li said in a firm tone.

After hearing this, the emperor nodded slightly and said, "Lord Li, I see your efforts. Financial stability is vital to the country. I hope you will continue to work hard to ensure the smooth progress of the reform."

Lord Zhang also spoke at the court meeting, introducing the progress of military reforms: "Your Majesty, by strengthening border defense and improving the quality of our generals, our military strength has been significantly improved. The stability of the border is vital to the security of the country. We will continue to work hard to ensure the security of the country."

The emperor nodded with satisfaction: "Master Zhang, I have also seen your efforts. The military is the lifeblood of the country. I hope you can continue to maintain and continuously improve our defense capabilities."

Through this court meeting, the emperor had a deeper understanding of the reform measures of the empress dowager and several ministers, and his doubts were alleviated. However, he remained vigilant and continued to pay close attention to the progress of the reform.

At the same time, the cooperation between the Queen Mother and several ministers gradually showed more results. Through a series of public measures, they increased the transparency of the reform and allowed more ministers to see the actual results of the reform. Through the connection with those ministers who were loyal to the emperor, the Queen Mother's influence in the court gradually increased.

However, the Queen Mother also knew in her heart that this struggle was far from over. She must continue to be vigilant and ensure that every step she took was steady and precise.

One day, the Queen Mother summoned Lord Li and Lord Wang to her bedroom to discuss the next plan.

"Lord Li, Lord Wang, what do you think of the recent situation?" asked the Queen Mother.

Lord Li replied, "Queen Dowager, the recent reform measures have made some progress, and the emperor's attitude has softened. But we must continue to work hard to ensure that every measure can be implemented smoothly."

Lord Wang added: "Queen Dowager, we also need to further strengthen our control over finances and the military to ensure that no one can threaten our plans through these means."

The Queen Mother nodded. "You are right. I have decided to take the following measures: First, we must further increase the transparency of the reform so that everyone can see our efforts and results. Second, we must strengthen our control over finance and the military to ensure the smooth progress of the reform. Finally, we must continue to cultivate more supporters to ensure that our position is stable."

Lord Li and Lord Wang agreed and said they would fully cooperate with the Queen Mother's plan.

In the following days, the Queen Mother and several ministers continued to promote various reform measures. Through a series of public channels, they increased the transparency of financial and military reforms, allowing more ministers and the public to see the actual results of the reforms.

At the same time, the Queen Mother strengthened her control over finance and military affairs through some clever means. She ordered Lord Li and Lord Wang to closely monitor financial and military affairs to ensure that no one could threaten her plans through these means.

One day, the Queen Mother summoned Lian Di and Lian Fang and revealed her plan to them.

"Lian Di, Lian Fang, you must continue to pay close attention to the developments in the harem and make sure no one can threaten our position." said the Queen Mother.

Lian Di and Lian Fang responded in unison: "Queen Dowager, we will fully cooperate to ensure the peace of the harem."

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction: "Very good. You must continue to work hard to ensure that our plan can be implemented smoothly. I believe that as long as we unite as one, we will be able to overcome all difficulties and achieve our goals."

Under the careful planning of the Queen Mother, various reform measures gradually achieved more results. Through a series of publicity measures, the transparency of financial and military reforms was greatly increased, allowing more ministers and the public to see the actual results of the reforms.

At the same time, the Queen Mother, through Lord Li and Lord Wang, strengthened her control over finances and the military, ensuring that no one could threaten her plans through these means. Through her connections with those ministers who were loyal to the Emperor, the Queen Mother's influence gradually grew in the court.

However, the Queen Mother also knew in her heart that this struggle was far from over. She must continue to be vigilant and ensure that every step she took was steady and precise.
