The blacksmith lady is killing people in the harem, and her son is responsible for it.

Inside the Imperial Palace of Chang'an City.

When the court ministers met the prince, they became much more honest than before.

Now the Ministry of War has also received news that the entire Western Region has been recovered, although Changxin City was captured because Li Guozhu surrendered.

This is also the credit of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The prince went on the expedition for half a year and not only repelled the Hu people, but also recovered the territories occupied by the remnants of the previous dynasty.

This news was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the Dayan Dynasty.

This battle also made the veteran officials in the court realize the prince's talent in military affairs.

The prince was young and strong, and he himself had made great military achievements. Although he lacked literary talent, he was extremely powerful in martial arts.

Those ministers who had been poisoned by the Crown Princess felt that the Crown Prince at this time was their chosen emperor.

Many old ministers of the previous dynasty who were still on the sidelines now truly recognized Zhao Zhen and sincerely wanted to work for Dayan.

The prince is not good at writing and does not know how to govern the country, but they do!

They had studied for many years and had a lot of good ideas for governing the country. When they took the imperial examinations, everyone had written down a good plan for governing the country. However, they were troubled by the stubbornness of the old emperor of the previous dynasty who did not adopt their ideas.

But now it’s different. The current prince has become the emperor, which is simply perfect.

He is good at fighting and is not afraid of attacks from foreign enemies.

Then the civil officials in the Great Yan Dynasty can do whatever they want!

For this reason, the court did not fall into a dead end because of the death of the previous emperor. On the contrary, because of Zhao Zhen's return, there was a thriving trend.

The ministers in the court met the prince one after another, and they found that the prince was much calmer now.

Many suggestions were heeded.

At this time, the left and right ministers of the Secretariat came to see the prince.

In the past, these two people did not take the Crown Princess seriously. At that time, many officials came to see Qin Wan, but the two of them claimed to be sick and did not come.

As a result, many of their responsibilities were taken away from them, and the two superiors of the Secretariat and the Ministry of Palace Affairs directly interfered in the affairs of their Ministry of Shangshu.

But the two ministers were still unable to come up with a plan. After the old emperor woke up, he did not put things right. Instead, he indulged the Crown Princess and allowed the Minister of the Central Secretariat Li Chun and the Minister of the Imperial Court Mei Cong to give orders to the six ministries.

Now the ministers of the six ministries actually seem to be inclined to obey the orders of these two people.

The left and right ministers of the Secretariat became anxious. In the past, the two of them had been secretly competing with each other for the position of Shangshu Ling.

Whether in the previous Shang Dynasty or the current Yan Dynasty, the position of Shangshu Ling has been vacant.

Many civil officials are eyeing this position.

Unexpectedly, before the left and right prime ministers could come to an end, other people emerged.

The left and right ministers did not dare to continue to be arrogant. Now that they saw the prince returning, they immediately paid their respects to him.

Wanchun Palace.

"Your Highness, now that you have returned to the capital, the most urgent task is to ascend the throne immediately!"

Zuo Pushe Gong Xiu said sincerely.

You Pushe Tang Su glanced at his old rival and stood up, "Although Your Highness is sad about the passing of His Majesty, the country cannot be without a ruler for a day."

The prince sat at the head of the table, his eyes filled with worry, "The funeral is still short, if I ascend the throne at this time, how will the people of the world view me?"

When You Pushe saw that the prince did not object outright, he knew there was a way.

"Your Highness, after you ascend the throne, wouldn't it be better for you to personally preside over the late emperor's funeral? The late emperor loved the prince very much, and we old ministers have seen it. I'm sure the late emperor wouldn't mind this."

Zuo Pushe also stood up at this time, "Your Highness, what Lord Tang said is true. During the short period when Your Highness was away on the expedition, the late emperor fell into a coma several times, and the Crown Princess was in charge of state affairs alone."

Zuo Pushe observed the prince's expression and saw that he was frowning, so he continued, "After all, the Crown Princess is a woman, and there is an ancestral precept in the previous dynasty that women in the harem cannot interfere in politics."

"But the Crown Princess is used to being tough. Now both the Queen's Phoenix Seal and the Emperor's Jade Seal are in the Crown Princess' hands..."

The prince stood up suddenly and asked sternly, "What? The imperial seal is also in the hands of the crown princess?"

Left and right servants: “????”

It’s been three days since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returned, but he still doesn’t know that the Imperial Seal is in the hands of the Crown Princess?

The two looked at each other and inexplicably felt that the prince in front of them was not as wise as the previous prince! !

Zuo Pushe said, "Yes, Your Highness, nowadays, if the decrees of the court want to be promulgated, they must be approved by the Crown Princess."

The Right Servant continued, "Although Your Highness and the Crown Princess have a deep love for each other, state affairs are of primary importance. The Crown Princess is shallow and a woman, so she really cannot continue to interfere in the affairs of the court."

The prince clenched his fists and said, "Okay, then I'll have to trouble the two ministers to submit a memorial tomorrow."

The left and right ministers obviously agreed, "Yes!"

The prince wants to ascend the throne, but he doesn't say he wants to ascend the throne immediately.

He also had to arrange his own people first, raise the issue in front of other ministers, and then have important ministers plead with him again and again, only in this way could he preserve his good reputation.

In short, it is a process that requires both.

After the two adults left, the prince took out the tiger talisman.

No, he has soldiers in his hands and is not afraid of the Qin family.

At this time, in Cheng'en Hall of the Eastern Palace.

Qin Wan has moved back to Cheng'en Palace.

She just didn't want the fake one to come back and live there. Since she had chosen Wanchun Palace in the first place, then let him stay there.

There has been no news from the people Qin Wan sent out.

She didn't care that the prince didn't come during these three days.

Just as the left and right servants said, the phoenix seal and the jade seal were now in her hands.

All the eunuchs in the entire palace are her people.

Qin Wan even knew how many times the fake prince drank water and went to the toilet every day.

She didn't touch him, just to delay time. Once Zhao Zhen was brought back, the fake one could be offline.

Although the fake prince didn't want to meet Qin Wan, Qin Wan still disguised herself and looked at him from a distance.

Qin Wan admitted that there was no flaw in that person.

But she didn't feel any throbbing when she saw him. It was clearly that face, but she didn't feel anything.

Qin Wan believed that the person who stayed in the palace was not her husband Zhao Zhen.

However, it cannot be exposed now. If people knew that the prince of Yan Dynasty was living abroad, he would be in danger.

Therefore, this mascot in the palace needs to be well cared for.

"My lady, Mr. Xie has arrived."

"Invite him in!"

"Yes!"

Soon, Xie Yu'an was invited to Lizheng Hall.

Seeing Qin Wan sitting in the former crown prince's seat, Xie Yu'an's eyes flickered.

"Your humble servant greets the Crown Princess!"

Qin Wan raised her head, "Thank you, no need to be so polite!"

Xie Yu’an: “….”

Xie Yu'an chewed on the word "Xie Qing" carefully.

Suddenly, Xie Yu'an felt that it might not be a problem for the Crown Princess to sit in that position.

Xie Yu'an was a very clever man, and he had met the prince several times since he returned to the capital.

He had doubts about the current prince.

He didn't dare to believe it at first, but all the actions of the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace confirmed his guess.

If that person is gone, it seems like the outcome wouldn’t be bad!

Xie Yu'an's lips curled up slightly.
