The emperor's actions shocked the entire capital. Even Meng Yuchuan's military power was forced to hand over and he became a nominal marquis... Some people watched the excitement, while others felt sorry for him. They felt that your majesty was responsible for killing the donkey company.

Don't let it go.

However, at this moment, Meng Yuchuan suddenly changed and became the chief minister of the cabinet!

A total of six ministers were selected for the cabinet, all of whom were veterans who were usually inconspicuous but whose status in the court could not be ignored. They were basically over fifty years old, but Meng Yuchuan stood above everyone else and became the chief minister of the cabinet.

He's not even thirty yet.

It was in the limelight for a while.

Xihe was reluctant to accept the post, and everyone wanted to invite her to the banquet.

Xihe refused them all, and ordered the entire Hou family to be cautious in their words and deeds, keep a low profile, and live their own lives behind closed doors.

Also keeping a low profile was the Prime Minister's Office. Although the emperor did not abolish the position of the Prime Minister and changed it to assist the cabinet, the power of the Prime Minister was not as good as before, and he might even be abolished in the future... Qiang Cheng began to assist Meng Yuchuan wholeheartedly.

Help him get familiar with everything in the court.

The Qiang Prime Minister has always been aware of current affairs, the prince was deposed, and his majesty made reforms. Everything is beyond repair.

If you are stubborn and refuse to admit defeat, you might as well find another way to assist your son-in-law.

It's just that his behavior was such that, not to mention the ministers of the same dynasty, even the prime minister's wife and the eldest daughter had several quarrels, thinking that he was cold-blooded and profit-seeking.

Prime Minister Qiang: ...So he and His Majesty had a head-on confrontation and took off his black gauze hat, and then they were satisfied?

Prime Minister Qiang felt that the women in the family were making trouble unreasonably, so he explained several times that it was for their own good, but in the end no one listened and just ignored it and continued their great cause.

He secretly knew that now that his son-in-law has become the chief minister, Meng Huaiyu's chances of becoming the next emperor are infinitely greater. As long as he and his son-in-law work together, it will not be a problem to become the new emperor's confidant in the future!

Prime Minister Qiang was full of wisdom and began his second spring in life with great ambition.

Prime Minister Qiang: Life is endless and struggle is endless!

Xihe was speechless and felt that Prime Minister Qiang's behavior was clearly a serious rebellion!

She asked Meng Yuchuan, how much did he know about His Majesty's plan?

After all, it is unusual to suddenly appoint him as the chief minister.

Meng Yuchuan: "Always known."

Xihe:!!!

Meng Yuchuan shook the rattle in his hand, and the little baby in pink clothes immediately crawled over: "Dad, I want it!" and reached out to reach for the rattle in his hand.

The little girl is white and tender, with dark eyes, and is extremely cute.

Meng Yuchuan wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth with a small handkerchief, teased his daughter, and continued: "His Majesty has already started the reform a few years ago, but now it is a big matter, and the road to reform in the past dynasties is full of thorns and obstacles, so in order to prevent

Unexpectedly, it has been going on secretly."

Xihe: "...So now that the opportunity is ripe, you take action?"

Meng Yuchuan nodded with a smile and didn't mind telling her more: "When the late emperor was still alive, he noticed that there was a problem in the court and wanted to reform it. However, the family was very powerful at that time and contradicted the late emperor's reform ideas. At that time, the late emperor was old and lacked energy, so he had to die.

Please leave this matter to His Majesty beforehand."

"Your Majesty has been on the throne for more than twenty years, and has spent all of his time weakening the power of the aristocratic families. To this day, there are many children from poor families in the court, but there are fewer and fewer people from the aristocratic families... My father-in-law also belongs to the poor family."

Xihe was a little surprised: "But isn't my father from the Tianshui family?"

She remembered that she had been urging Prime Minister Qiang not to follow the prince a few times before, because it would be a pit of fire.

Prime Minister Qiang was furious and scolded her directly. Such betrayal was an insult to the name of their Tianshui family!

Although in the memory of her original owner, every year during the Chinese New Year, several members of her clan who claimed to be from her family came to the house to enjoy the autumn breeze... The clothes were shabby, the behavior was desolate, and they did not look like a noble family at all.

Meng Yuchuan seemed to smile: "That's because my father-in-law and the Tianshui family are a bit dirty, so..."

The rest of the words were not said, but Xihe understood.

She's a straight up good guy.

In other words, half of the reason why Prime Minister Qiang is a prime minister is because of his Tianshui family status. It is even possible that the emperor valued him because he was not at odds with his family.

She couldn't help but say: "The late emperor... really has a plan that leaves no stone unturned."

The Prime Minister of Qiang is not a soft persimmon. Anyone who bullies him must fight back hard. The late emperor took advantage of his enmity with his family and handed the knife to his hand to let him deal with his family.

The aristocratic families have always been connected by the same spirit. How can Prime Minister Qiang have no objections to other aristocratic families of the Qiang family? Facing the attack of the aristocratic family, Prime Minister Qiang must find allies. At this time, the children of poor families become the best choice.

Over the past few decades, Qiang Prime Minister has been promoted steadily and has unlimited limelight in the court.

However, he has reduced the number of members of the aristocratic family to only a handful. Even in the government, most of them are low-ranking officials, or they are sent to serve as officials in remote areas.

Now in the entire court, except for the Prime Minister and Meng Yuchuan, there are only two parties who can hinder the emperor's reform.

But the emperor showed off another wave of tricks at this time.

He deposed the prince who was closely related to the honor and disgrace of Prime Minister Qiang, and demoted and killed all his ministers. Prime Minister Qiang became the bare commander, and Meng Yuchuan didn't know when he became the emperor's confidant... The obstacles were completely cleared and implemented.

New Deal!

Xihe: ...What a father and son from the Tian family, really amazing!

The aristocratic family, the Qiang prime minister, the poor family, and even his own son have become pawns on the chessboard.

When it's time to give up, give it up without hesitation.

She looked at Meng Yuchuan nervously: "After the reform is completed, will His Majesty deal with you?"

According to the late emperor, the two emperors calculated the thoughts of the people in the world, and after the reforms were completed, the emperor began to kill the donkeys.

Meng Yuchuan squeezed her hand and shook his head: "Your Majesty won't, at least not until the new emperor ascends the throne." As for the emperor's death and the new emperor's accession to the throne, he also has ways to deal with it.

Xihe looked at him steadily and nodded for a while: "I believe you."

She thought to herself that in her previous life, when the male protagonist became the Queen Regent, although there was a cabinet in the court, the entire court was still dominated by the male protagonist, and the cabinet had almost no sense of existence. She didn’t know if Meng Yuchuan’s participation would make the same mistake again this time.

?

The spring was bright, and the two of them stopped talking about the things in the court and started teasing the little girl. The courtyard was filled with the laughter of children.

-

The cabinet was established, various new policies were promulgated one after another, the entire court was running at high speed, local officials were not idle, and the whole country was undergoing subtle changes.

On this day, the prime minister's wife celebrated her fiftieth birthday, and Xihe took her husband and children to celebrate her birthday.

The ladies from all the families had already arrived in advance. As soon as she entered, she was immediately surrounded by a swarm of bees. Meng A was also praised so much that her face turned red: "Your daughter is so beautiful, and she has chosen the strengths of you and the chief minister."

Xihe smiled and touched his daughter's head: "She won't be able to find anything without praise."

The ladies immediately felt that she was kind and lovable, and she was full of witty words for a while. The little girl's eyes narrowed with joy as she praised her.
Chapter completed!
