After a long laugh, Bian Guan Yue stared at Su Jin Pa and shouted angrily.

Seeing that Bian Guan Yue was so disrespectful, the Imperial Forest Army immediately wanted to take action, forcing Bian Guan Yue to shut up and then dragging him away.

Let him speak.

Su Jinpa stepped forward to block the Imperial Guards, gazing at the moon over the border with a chilling expression. "Today, I stand before you. Whatever you wish to say, speak your mind freely. No one will hinder you."

"You're afraid to hear it, aren't you" Yue Leng said with a cold smile.

"The prince's reform is indeed a major undertaking unseen in a century. It effectively renders the former Cabinet powerless by establishing a system of three ministries with checks and balances, each directly accountable to the prince. This significantly enhances the prince's authority, which will be the authority of the future emperor. As long as this system is implemented consistently, within decades, the Cabinet can truly be abolished, imperial power will be greatly strengthened, and the possibility of another Zhao Xuanji will be minimized."

"Yes, this is a monumental feat."

But the most crucial issue here is time!

Any policy change takes time to show its results, both positive and negative. It's impossible for the effects to be seen immediately, let alone with a systemic reform like this.

"At the very least, it will have to wait until this current generation has all passed away and relinquished their power. Only then will the new system envisioned by the Crown Prince truly come into effect. Otherwise, although the Three Ministries appear divided now, Zhao Xuanji remains the most powerful Minister of the Ministry of Officials. As long as he is in charge, the cabinet will not truly disappear. Instead, it will become a shadow cabinet, hiding even more deeply."

"If the prince were here, perhaps things could still be controlled. But with the prince leaving the capital, it's like leaving an empty den for a tiger to enter. The fat within the den is now all ripe for the tiger's consumption. In recent days, those disbanded factions of the inner cabinet from before have seen a resurgence. Countless officials are lining up at Zhao's residence to report and show their loyalty."

These people will regroup around Zhao Xuanji, forming a powerful force that is even more formidable, secretive, and indestructible than before!

"You think the Empress Dowager's regency can bring about change It's just a mantis trying to stop a chariot."

"Hear politics, hear is the officials to report on political affairs, if these politics, are all Zhao Xuanji screen, which willing to let the Empress listen, which do not want to let the Empress listen, are all Zhao Xuanji said count, so this listening to government, what significance"

Words at the border, like a great bell's resonant sound.

Su Jinpa frowned, frozen in place.

She suddenly realized her own childishness and naiveté, and understood why Zhao Xuanji hadn't fiercely resisted the Empress's request to govern from behind a curtain at today's court meeting.

All because of Yue's words at the border, the shadow cabinet has preliminarily revived. Zhao Xuanji wants real power, not just empty titles.

Even, Zhao Xuanji perhaps needs the Empress to step forward. So that the Empress would be in charge while she hides behind a curtain. Then what is obvious is the Empress rather than himself. Once anything goes wrong, it's the Empress who must bear the responsibility.

Su Jinpa's mind was incredibly sharp, and in an instant, she thought of many things.

Even, Zhao Xuanji might already be laying the groundwork in secret, wanting to orchestrate a play of mutual destruction between the Crown Prince and the Empress.

Power is like an irresistible pastry, and on the day the prince returns, if the empress doesn't relinquish her power, how will she relinquish it Every question could provoke a backlash from the prince, and the first to bear the brunt would be the empress!as at stake. This ruthless old fox, who would even send out his own son without hesitation if he thought it necessary, would undoubtedly abandon himself without a second thought if he deemed it unavoi...
