They are unwilling to accept women in power because they are afraid that their status will be affected by their rise.

But if he held Princess Wen Yi down now, he might be stripped of his official uniform and dragged away in the middle of court one day.

It would be better to take this opportunity to think of a way to fool Wen Yi, who has not yet entered the court. As long as she can be controlled, it will be much easier to accomplish things in the future.

The court officials were clacking their abacuses, and the beads were almost jumping onto Wen Yi's face who was hiding in the dark room.

Once their minds were opened, the ministers quickly changed from being unable to accept a woman in power to imagining how to manipulate Wen Yi in the future. When the time came, they would present an obedient mascot, and they would have the final say in political affairs.

A bright future seemed to be waving at them. The group of daydreaming old men were overjoyed and asked people to add a few more jars of wine as a celebration in advance.

The following topic was neither nutritious nor appetizing, and Wen Yi was too lazy to continue listening.

Before leaving, she did not forget to instruct the shopkeeper to double the money for those old fools when they settled the bill, so that they would talk in their sleep in broad daylight!

……

Cao Qinmo, who cheated on the system, already knew that Wen Yi was one step closer to success, so it was time to remove another obstacle.

So Yinzhen, who had been diligently managing the government for many years, began to find that his physical strength was declining. No one would get tired of being an emperor, and he was no exception.

So batches of Taoists were secretly sent to the Yangxin Palace.

A few days later, many smoking alchemy furnaces appeared in a remote village under the imperial city.

Every day Yinzhen hid in the Yangxin Palace and chewed various kinds of pills, red, green, purple and black. Suddenly, he chewed a pill that was so crunchy that it almost broke his old teeth.

The filial son not only ate the food himself, but also sent it to Shoukang Palace for his mother to eat if he thought it was useful.

That’s right, Empress Dowager Uya is still alive and well.

All her life savings had been almost spent by her grandchildren, and Uya was extremely eager to meet the late emperor.

But in the previous life, it was she and the emperor who used some means to get the original owner offline, so in this life, Cao Qinmo was unwilling to let her die easily.

So the Queen Mother could only live in misery.

Seeing her eldest son excitedly bringing a bunch of pills, praising them in a very exaggerated way, saying that they could prolong life, replenish qi and nourish the body, the empress dowager, who wished she would die quickly, didn't eat a single bite. She took them with a smile and locked them in the cabinet.

The court officials here began to try to approach Princess Wen Yi, beating around the bush with their words but not saying it directly.

Wen Yi also followed suit and practiced Tai Chi, mainly replying randomly after reading the message.

Just when the ministers suspected that Princess Wen Yi didn't understand what they meant, they suddenly met Wen Yi's gaze. She had a half-smile on her face, but her eyes were full of coldness.

The old man who had been talking for a long time almost shuddered. It turned out that she was treating all his words as a joke.

And it still wasn't funny.

After realizing that Wen Yi was not someone who could be easily fooled, the court officials retreated for a short while.

After all, they could accept a woman who was a mascot sitting in that position, but if the mascot was a ferocious beast, wouldn't they be shooting themselves in the foot?

But Yinzhen didn't give them much time to think.

Yinzhen, who was addicted to taking elixirs, had a mental state that was becoming less and less stable day by day.

Maybe the Taoist priest overheated the temperature when refining this batch of pills recently?

Anyway, the emperor seemed very angry.

It was merely a matter of river management, and this year wasn't a flood year. But as usual, after a period of hesitation over the appointment, the emperor suddenly erupted.

After so many years of attending court, even those who had witnessed Ma Qi fighting with the previous emperor during court sessions never expected that the emperor before them would be so terrifying when he went crazy.

Yinzhen's eyes were red and his nostrils were wide open. He suddenly jumped down from the dragon throne, picked up the memorial in his hand and slapped the ministers below.

Those standing in the front were all senior ministers with rich experience. As the name suggested, they were old and their faces were so wrinkled that they almost had to be slapped open by the emperor.

A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated. What's more, I didn't provoke you, so why are you hitting me in the face?

When the emperor was about to draw the second row, the old man in the front finally reacted and could no longer bear it and started to fight back.

A group of old ministers and the emperor fought each other in court!

Moreover, none of these old men combined could defeat the emperor!

This was probably the most glorious moment in Siliban's life.

But unfortunately no one cares about his glory.

After hearing the news, everyone was stunned. They would rather doubt whether they were dreaming than believe such nonsense.

Ma Qi, who was on leave at home today, was shocked. He regretted that he was not there to watch the fight, but was also glad that he was not there, otherwise it would not be a good reputation to say that he had been beaten by both father and son.

The emperor won the one-on-many battle with his crazy energy. The ministers behind him had already retreated tactically when they were fighting. They hid far away and watched him stealthily.

After venting his anger, the emperor patted his butt and left, leaving behind a group of frightened ministers.

After being beaten by the emperor, the old minister felt that all his face in this life was lost on this day. He thought that future generations would find in history books that it was recorded that he was beaten by the emperor on a certain day of a certain month of a certain year.

The oldest Minister of Revenue was overwhelmed with grief and ran straight towards the pillar in shame and anger.

No one expected that he still had so much strength after such a fierce battle. Even the palace guards did not react. They only saw a flash of blood in front of everyone's eyes, and it seemed to stain their hearts.

The old minister had been in office for many years and was about to retire, but he was humiliated to such an extent that he ended up hitting his head against a pillar and died.

The officials present recalled the emperor's recent rage, and their hearts sank as they watched.

If you force them like this, how can they be loyal?

So Wen Yi looked at the minister who was kneeling reverently in front of him, and a smile appeared on his face, as if he saw the dog he had worked hard to tame lying obediently at his feet.

After they made several requests with tears in their eyes, Wen Yi nodded slightly and gave them a response.

On the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th, the palace prepared for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet as usual.

This year's moon is exceptionally round, and unlike the previous days, it is not as bright white as before. Instead, it is shrouded in dark red, giving it a strange beauty.

Yixiu had been suffering from a severe headache since she woke up that morning, but for the honor of being the mother of a country, she was unwilling to miss the event, so she specially summoned the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau to prescribe a decoction for her.

Today's medicine is particularly effective in relieving pain. In just one hour, Yixiu looked more radiant.

Yixiu's good mood, brought by the absence of a headache, lasted until the banquet started and the second song and dance performance was nearing its end.

The dancers who were supposed to spin and disperse suddenly changed their pace, threw out their ribbons and stood in a row, forming a human wall.

The novel dance steps attracted the attention of the crowd, who had already become bored, but the dancers suddenly stopped moving.

Just when the emperor was confused, he heard a clear sound of footsteps coming from afar. Each step was very steady, but due to the obstruction of the view by the dancers, he could not see behind him even though he was sitting high.

The concubines and ministers sitting in the back were silent when they saw the visitor. Some looked surprised, while others had no expression on their faces.

The field gradually became quiet until one could hear a pin drop.

In the silence, the emperor's voice rang out.

"Who is coming?"
