The empress disliked my achievements for overshadowing her own, so she turned her attention to the N

The Empress Dowager nodded with interest: "What about the official system and the election system that Prince Zhennan mentioned?"

Just as Chen Nan was about to choose his words, the voice echoed in his mind again.

[Ding, task issued: Court officials collectively passed the reform of the Three Departments and Six Ministries system.]

[Mission successful! Reward: 10,000 elite white horses!]

[Task issued: Court officials collectively pass a resolution to reform the imperial examination system.]

[Mission successful. Reward: 3 million shi of grain.]

Seeing these rewards, Chen Nan was utterly overjoyed.

Although he was only given 10,000 white horses, with his abilities, training 10,000 white horses would be a piece of cake.

And with those three million shi of grain, even if those powerful families resisted the reforms, it would still prevent the people from going hungry.

Chen Nan then recounted the Three Departments and Six Ministries system and the imperial examination system in their entirety.

As he explained, the Empress Dowager's eyes shone even brighter.

After he finished speaking, the Empress Dowager was all smiles.

"Alright, everything will proceed as the Prince of Zhennan has said."

"I will now summon all my ministers to discuss this matter."

"If the ministers agree, the reforms will be implemented immediately."

Finally, the Empress Dowager's eyes, which held a hint of something deeper, continued to scrutinize Chen Nan.

She was deeply moved by Chen Nan's idea, which made her even more convinced that inviting Chen Nan to the Northern Wei to be the Prince of Zhennan was an extremely wise decision.

"Then I will take my leave first."

After leaving a message, Chen Nan turned and prepared to leave.

But the Empress Dowager persuaded him to stay: "Does the Prince of Zhennan think the court will approve this matter?"

The right foot that had already stepped out was pulled back.

Whether the court officials agree or not is not up to Chen Nan.

Moreover, what reform can be carried out without bloodshed?

For a moment, Chen Nan did not understand the Empress Dowager's meaning.

Or perhaps he understood, but dared not, and asked softly, "What does the Empress Dowager mean?"

"I believe that Prince Zhennan can see that I am unaware of many things because I am confined to the inner palace every day."

"I understand the system that Prince Zhennan just mentioned."

"But is this really that easy?"

Chen Nan understood that the Empress Dowager wanted to implement reforms but was afraid that the ministers would not approve, which was why she had this question. He smiled wickedly and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I guarantee that they will agree."

Having received Chen Nan's assurance, the Empress Dowager smiled knowingly: "In that case, I will summon the court officials."

The two left the Imperial Garden one after the other.

Outside the palace, Chen Nan stood in a corner, full of vigor, and said, "Wu Xu, go back to the mansion and bring me the golden staff bestowed upon me by the Empress Dowager."

"Furthermore, order Mo Bai to lead 10,000 troops to surround the palace for me as soon as the court assembly begins!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Xu staggered.

"Your Highness, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

What did he hear?

A prince not only demanded the golden staff, but also ordered his men to lead troops to besiege the palace?

This is a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of one's family!

Chen Nan remained expressionless, his gaze fixed straight ahead: "What? Are you scared?"

Wu Xu chuckled and said, "Your Highness, I should have died back in Lecheng."

As he spoke, a resolute glint appeared in his eyes, and he headed towards the Prince's residence.

Chen Nan looked back at the palace and sighed, "I wonder how many heads will roll today!"

In the distance, a man in black robes gradually walked towards Chen Nan, and finally stopped in front of Chen Nan.

The two stood there, looking at each other, neither of them saying a word.

After a long while, Chen Nan asked softly, "How is the situation in Western Shu?"

"The situation in the Western Shu headquarters remains the same. Liu Banggua will be able to reach the northern part of Daqian this afternoon."

"It is said that the Daqian dynasty sent Jiang He and Liu Banggua to the Northern Wei dynasty as envoys."

"Hmm? Daqian has also sent people?" Chen Nan was slightly surprised.

In his eyes, Wu Fengluan was not the kind of woman who would beg for peace.

She likes the feeling of having everything under control.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have kicked Chen Nan out of Daqian after things improved.

In Chen Nan's eyes, Jiang He was his substitute.

Because Wu Fengluan couldn't control herself, she replaced her with someone who could easily control her.

For Wu Fengluan, Chen Nan was the savior of the Great Qian Dynasty.

The Great Qian Dynasty has been revived, so who would need a useless savior?

Jiang He is Chen Nan, a Chen Nan who is easy to control.

Meanwhile, in the Great Qian court.

Wu Fengluan, dressed in a yellow robe, glared angrily at the court officials below.

"You guys are a bunch of useless trash!"

“I have already said that Minister Jiang is in poor health, and now there is not a single person willing to go on the mission in his place.”

"Has my Great Qian Dynasty become so worthless?"

Wu Fengluan sat alone on the dragon throne, radiating her inner rage.

Below, the officials of the Great Qian Dynasty seemed to be acting like puppets.

There was absolutely no reaction.

"The Vice Minister of Rites!!!"

Seeing that there was no answer for a long time, Wu Fengluan directly called out a name.

From the crowd, a young man walked to the center of the hall and gave a perfunctory bow: "Your Majesty."

Wu Fengluan waved her hand dismissively: "You are the Vice Minister of Rites, who do you think should be sent on this mission?"

The Vice Minister of Rites, who was called out, looked up blankly. Who was he? Where was he?

He asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, didn't Doctor Jiang say that he would personally go to the north to join Liu Banggua as an envoy to the Northern Wei?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Fengluan's already cold face became even more unpleasant, and she gritted her teeth as she uttered each word.

"As I just said, Minister Jiang is unwell, and the envoy team needs to be reorganized."

"You don't seem to have taken my words to heart?"

Without giving the other party any time to react, he said resolutely, "Come on, drag him out and chop him up!"

At Wu Fengluan's command, two armored guards entered the hall and dragged the Vice Minister of Rites outside.

Knowing he was doomed, the Vice Minister of Rites shouted, "Wu Fengluan, you are a tyrant!"

"You couldn't even retain such an outstanding talent as the Prince of Zhenbei? Now that things have come to this, you expect someone else to step forward?"

"To tell you the truth, the Great Qian Dynasty is rotten, all because of a foolish ruler like you!"

The Vice Minister of Rites spoke eloquently, but Wu Fengluan's face darkened, her hands clenched so tightly that her nails dug into her palms.

"stop!"

"Aren't you afraid I'll exterminate your entire family if you say that?"

Wu Fengluan thought that if she said that, the other party would be afraid.

To her shock, the Vice Minister of Rites not only showed no fear, but instead gave a cold laugh.

"Wu Fengluan, what if you exterminate my entire clan, even ten clans, let alone nine?"

"That doesn't change the fact that you are a tyrant!"

"Excellent, truly excellent! What kind of treacherous officials has my Great Qian Dynasty raised!"

The attitude of the Vice Minister of Rites was like a heavy hammer blow to Wu Fengluan's heart.

You don't care about the extermination of nine generations of your family, yet you volunteer to request the extermination of ten generations.

"Issue the order to execute Li Ming, the Vice Minister of Rites, and his entire clan!"

"Throw his body into a mass grave and let wild animals devour it!"

In Wu Fengluan's view, this was already a very severe punishment.

She felt that most people would bow their heads in the face of such punishment.

Moreover, as long as the Vice Minister of Rites is willing to admit his mistake.

She certainly wouldn't make such a big fuss.

The worst that could happen is that he himself is executed.

But the Vice Minister of Rites was not afraid at all, and said loudly, "Colleagues, the Great Qian Dynasty is ruined, I'll take my leave first!"

Without giving Wu Fengluan a chance to kill him, he smashed his head against a wall and died.
