Ah, you traveled through time too?

Although Mei Fei's conspiracy was exposed and the court temporarily returned to peace, Empress Dowager Xiao Minghui knew that this power struggle was far from over. In order to completely eliminate the latent opposition forces in the court and consolidate her own authority, she decided to take a series of counterattack measures.

"My lords, although we have exposed Concubine Mei's conspiracy, there are still some unstable factors in the court. We must take decisive measures to completely eliminate these forces." The Queen Mother said solemnly.

Lord Li spoke first: "Queen Dowager, I believe that we need to further strengthen the supervision of the ministers in the court to ensure that they are loyal to their duties and dare not bend the law for personal gain."

Lord Wang took over the topic: "Queen Mother, we also need to strengthen control over the local tyrants to prevent them from colluding again and causing unrest."

Lord Zhang added: "Queen Mother, we can also adopt a series of reform measures to enhance the sense of responsibility and loyalty of ministers and local officials in the court."

The Queen Mother nodded in agreement: "Your suggestion is very good. Through this action, we must completely eliminate the opposition forces in the court and ensure the stability of the country."

In the next few days, Lord Li, Lord Wang, and Lord Zhang began to take intensive actions. First, they conducted a series of investigations to learn about the movements of the ministers in the court in detail and closely monitor those ministers who might be dissatisfied with the Queen Mother.

"Empress Dowager, we have collected some evidence of secret collusion between court ministers and local tyrants. This evidence shows that they are trying to overthrow the existing power system by creating unrest." Lord Li said.

The Queen Mother looked over the evidence and her expression grew more serious.

"Very good, Lord Li. We must catch these criminals in one fell swoop." The Queen Mother said coldly.

At the same time, Lord Wang strengthened his control over local tyrants. He adopted a series of policies to limit the power of local tyrants and prevent them from gaining benefits through improper means.

"Empress Dowager, we have adopted a series of policies to limit the power of local tyrants. Recently, we have investigated and dealt with some illegal activities of local tyrants and confiscated a large amount of illegal gains." Lord Wang said.

The Queen Mother agreed: "Very good. Lord Wang, you must continue to intensify the crackdown on local tyrants and ensure that they cannot pose a threat to our reforms."

Mr. Zhang was responsible for promoting a series of reform measures. He strengthened the assessment of ministers and local officials to enhance their sense of responsibility and loyalty.

"Empress Dowager, we have developed a new assessment system and set up a special supervisory team. Every year we will conduct strict assessments of court ministers and local officials to ensure that they are loyal to their duties and dare not bend the law for personal gain," said Lord Zhang.

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction: "Very good. Lord Zhang, you must ensure the strictness and fairness of the assessment system, and any acts of favoritism and abuse of power must not be tolerated."

In order to ensure the smooth implementation of these countermeasures, the Queen Mother also set up a special inspection team, led by Lord Li, Lord Wang and Lord Zhang, to supervise the implementation of various policies. This inspection team went deep into various places and made regular inspections to ensure that every measure was effectively implemented.

"Everyone, how is our inspection team operating?" asked the Queen Mother.

Lord Li reported first: "Empress Dowager, the supervision team has begun to operate. We regularly inspect various places and found some problems, which were dealt with in a timely manner."

Lord Wang added: "Queen Mother, through the inspection of the supervision team, we have discovered that some local tyrants have abused their power for personal gain and have severely punished them."

Lord Zhang also said: "Empress Dowager, the supervision team has also strengthened the inspection of ministers in the court and local officials to ensure their discipline and loyalty."

The Queen Mother nodded in satisfaction: "Very good. You must continue to strengthen supervision to ensure that every measure is effectively implemented, and any acts of favoritism and abuse of power must not be tolerated."

As these countermeasures were gradually implemented, the affairs of the country gradually got back on track and the situation in the court became more stable. However, the Queen Mother knew that this was only a temporary calm and the challenges ahead would still be severe.

In order to further consolidate her authority, the Queen Mother decided to take more reform measures to enhance the sense of responsibility and loyalty of ministers and local officials. She hoped that these measures would not only eliminate opposition forces but also enhance the country's governance capabilities.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we need to further advance reforms and enhance the sense of responsibility and loyalty of court ministers and local officials. What suggestions do you have?" asked the Queen Mother.

Lord Li spoke first: "Queen, I believe that we can improve the governance and moral quality of officials by strengthening their training."

Lord Wang took over the topic: "Queen Mother, we can also use a series of incentives to reward those officials who have performed well in the reform and encourage more people to participate in the reform."

Lord Zhang added: "Queen Dowager, we also need to strengthen the assessment of officials to ensure that every official can perform their duties conscientiously and be loyal to the country."

The Queen Mother nodded in agreement. "Your suggestion is very good. Through this reform, we want to enhance the sense of responsibility and loyalty of ministers and local officials in the court and ensure the stability of the country."

In the next few days, Lord Li, Lord Wang, and Lord Zhang began to work on a series of new reform measures. First, they strengthened the training of officials, through a series of courses and lectures, to improve the officials' governance ability and moral quality.

"Your Majesty, we have strengthened the training of officials through a series of courses and lectures. Many officials have expressed that these trainings have greatly improved their work ability and moral quality," said Lord Li.

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction: "Very good. Lord Li, you must continue to strengthen the training of officials and improve their governance capabilities and moral qualities."

At the same time, Mr. Wang also formulated a series of incentives to reward those officials who performed well in the reform. Through a series of rewards and commendations, he encouraged more officials to actively participate in the reform.

"Empress Dowager, we have encouraged many officials to actively participate in the reform through a series of rewards and commendations. Recently, many officials have performed outstandingly in the reform and have received rewards," said Lord Wang.

The Queen Mother agreed: "Very good. Lord Wang, you must continue to strengthen incentives to encourage more officials to actively participate in the reform."

Mr. Zhang strengthened the assessment of officials. He adopted a new assessment system to ensure that every official could fulfill his duties and be loyal to the country.

"Empress Dowager, we have adopted a new assessment system to ensure that every official can perform his duties conscientiously and be loyal to the country. Recently, some officials have performed poorly in the assessment and have been punished." Lord Zhang said.

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction: "Very good. Lord Zhang, you must ensure the strictness and fairness of the assessment system, and any acts of favoritism and abuse of power must not be tolerated."

With the gradual implementation of these reform measures, the country's governance capacity and the sense of responsibility and loyalty of officials have been significantly improved, and the situation in the court has stabilized. However, the Queen Mother knows that the power struggle has never really ended. In order to ensure the long-term stability of the country, she must always remain vigilant and constantly adjust her strategy to remain invincible in this complex power struggle.

In the dead of night, the Queen Mother stood by the window, looking at the bright moon outside, her heart full of determination. She knew that her efforts were not only for the benefit of herself and her family, but also for the future of the entire country. She believed that as long as she had firm beliefs, wisdom and courage, she would be able to achieve her goals and lead the country to a bright future.

In this complex power struggle, although the Queen Mother's counterattack is full of risks and challenges, she firmly believes that as long as she and her trusted ministers work together, they can overcome all difficulties and usher in a better tomorrow.
