The Invincible Sixth Prince

In the court, Emperor Wen, who had not appeared for many days, came to court again.

Looking at Emperor Wen sitting on the throne, many court officials were still frightened.

Although they were not affected by Yun Li's rebellion, Emperor Wen's series of measures made many officials who had just entered the court see how terrible Emperor Wen was.

Not to mention the inside stories that they didn't know, the fact that Emperor Wen could easily undermine the power of Yun Li, who had been regent for three years, was enough to show how terrifying Emperor Wen was.

Emperor Wen did not attend court, but he never lost control of the court.

Yun Li, the Crown Prince who serves as Regent, is just a puppet in his hands.

From this, we can see how terrible Emperor Wen’s political tactics were.

After all the ministers lined up, Emperor Wen waved to Yun Cang with a smile, "Cang'er, come to Grandpa Emperor."

Yun Cang had just stayed with Emperor Wen yesterday, so naturally he wouldn't be shy at this moment.

He didn't know what the occasion was in the court, but when he heard Emperor Wen calling him, he left Yun Zheng and trotted towards Emperor Wen's throne.

Mu Shun was worried that Yun Cang would fall, so he was protecting him by the stairs.

Soon, Yun Cang climbed up the steps and came to the side of Emperor Wen's throne.

"Come on, come up and sit!"

Emperor Wen moved closer to the throne and patted the empty space.

Seeing Emperor Wen's actions, the ministers could not help but look at each other in bewilderment.

What is going on?

That’s the throne!

Even Yunli, the Crown Prince who serves as Regent, has never sat in that position!

Emperor Wen let Yun Cang sit on his throne in front of all his ministers. It must be more than just a simple favor!

Is it...

Suddenly, the ministers thought of a possibility.

But even though Emperor Wen's every move confirmed their guess, they were still very frightened.

The throne was a little high for Yun Cang.

But Emperor Wen did not help and let Yun Cang climb onto the throne by himself.

Fortunately, although Yun Cang is not very old, he is still quite strong.

After struggling for a while, Yun Cang successfully climbed onto the throne and sat next to Emperor Wen.

He even moved slightly, as if trying to test whether the throne was comfortable.

Emperor Wen looked at Yun Cang with a smile, and then winked at Mu Shun.

"The court meeting... begins!"

Mu Shun shouted.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you!"

All the ministers bowed, but Yun Zheng stood there motionless.

The ministers looked at Yun Zheng sideways, and they understood what was going on.

It was obvious that Yun Zheng and Emperor Wen had discussed these things yesterday.

Moreover, Yun Cang was sitting on the throne, and it would definitely not be good for Yun Zheng, as his father, to kneel down and kowtow.

"Everyone is safe."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The ministers slowly stood up.

Emperor Wen looked up at his ministers, his expression gradually becoming serious: "Five years ago, I said in front of all the ministers in this court that the Sixth Prince would never be made the Crown Prince!"

"As the saying goes, a king's words are never a joke. Today, I still say this. There is no way that the Sixth Brother will be made the Crown Prince!"

"Mu Shun, announce the decree!"

Emperor Wen did not give his ministers a chance to offer their opinions and directly ordered Mu Shun to announce the decree.

Mu Shun bowed, took the imperial edict and slowly unfolded it.

"The emperor has issued an order: From today on, the eldest son of the sixth son Yun Zheng, Yun Cang, will be made the crown prince, and heir to the throne! The sixth son Yun Zheng will be made the regent king and the commander-in-chief of the army..."

Mu Shun read the imperial edict aloud.

Although many court officials had guessed this result through Emperor Wen's series of actions, they were still shocked when Mu Shun read out the imperial edict.

Skip Yun Zheng!

Directly appoint Yun Cang as the crown prince!

Yun Zheng is just here to protect Yun Cang!

There has never been such a precedent in history!

Yun Cang didn't understand these things at all. He just heard that he was mentioned in the imperial edict. He didn't care that Mu Shun was still reading the edict, so he asked Emperor Wen in a baby voice: "Grandpa Emperor, what is the crown prince?"

Emperor Wen patted the throne and whispered to Yun Cang: "This is the person who will sit on this seat in the future."

"future?"

Yun Cang tilted his head, looking puzzled.

Aren’t you sitting here now?

Why the future?

"Don't talk yet."

Emperor Wen patted Yun Cang lovingly and whispered, "Let your father tell you later!"

"Oh."

Yun Cang pouted and finally calmed down.

Mu Shun was still reading the imperial edict.

The imperial court re-implemented the three-prime minister system.

Tang Shu was appointed as the left prime minister and minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

Feng Tuohuan was appointed as the right prime minister.

Liang Lunchen was appointed Chief Censor.

Wu Dao was appointed as the Grand Secretary of Wenhua Pavilion and the Chief Academician of the Imperial College.

Chen Bu was appointed as the Minister of Revenue, and before Chen Bu returned to the imperial city, Yun Zheng was temporarily in charge of the Ministry of Revenue.

Zhang Heng was appointed as the Attendant Academician and Director of the Imperial Academy...

As for military generals, Xiao Wanchou was appointed as the Minister of Justice and concurrently held the newly created post of Military Counselor. While in charge of the Ministry of Justice, he was also equivalent to the deputy of Yun Zheng, the Grand Marshal of the Army.

Xue Che took charge of the Ministry of War again and concurrently served as the General of the Left Tunwei Army. Before Xue Che returned to the court, its affairs were temporarily managed by Xiao Wanchou.

Qin Liugan was the general of the Imperial Guard, but he still could not participate in the discussion of state affairs.

Li Xiu, who once led his troops to garrison in Badong Town, Fuzhou, was the General of Youtunwei.

The Left and Right Cavalry Guards Generals were also a military general of the imperial court and a military general of Shuobei.

The Shenwu Army is temporarily led by Yun Zheng.

With this appointment, the commanders of the six guards of the imperial city were all replaced by confidants of Emperor Wen and Yun Zheng.

When Mu Shun finished reading the imperial edict, everything was settled.

It was obvious that Emperor Wen and Yun Zheng had discussed this in advance, and they had no intention of giving the ministers any chance to make suggestions.

Now that the imperial edict has been read, even if the ministers want to make suggestions, there is no need to do so.

"Okay, that's the thing."

Emperor Wen pulled Yun Cang up and said to Yun Zheng, "I will let my grandson play boxing with me first. The rest of the affairs of the court will be discussed by you and the ministers!"'

Emperor Wen seemed to have only appeared to announce his decision and had no intention of intervening in state affairs.

After he finished speaking, he left with the jumping Yun Cang.

Until Emperor Wen left, all the ministers were still in a semi-confused state.

"Okay, wake up."

Yun Zheng walked to the seat below the throne and sat down. "I just returned to the imperial city and don't know much about the situation in the court. Let's not talk about politics today. Let the officials of the six ministries talk about the situation of the six ministries first! Lord Tang, you are the left prime minister now, so you should speak first!"

"what?"

Tang Shu was stunned for a moment, looking at Yun Zheng with a bit of a smile, "Your Highness, I...oh no, my mind is a bit confused now, I really don't know where to start..."

Tang Shu was indeed confused.

How did he become the Left Prime Minister for no apparent reason?

There was no news about this beforehand!

This was obviously something Yun Zheng and Emperor Wen had discussed last night.

"It doesn't matter."

Yun Zheng smiled: "Just say whatever you think. I want to understand the situation with everyone today. Everyone can speak freely."

"Then... then let me speak first!"

Tang Shu couldn't shirk his responsibility, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "At present, all departments are in urgent need of officials, especially the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Justice..."

As Tang Shu spoke, the ministers also began to talk about the situation of each department.

Yun Zheng originally wanted to understand the situation, but later on, this court meeting turned into a grievance meeting.

Some officials who hold multiple positions are complaining bitterly.

After hearing the last part, Lian Yunzheng himself began to complain.

What the hell is this?

The old ones don’t take care of things, and the young ones can’t take care of things either.

This mess of things still has to fall on my own head.

"Okay, stop complaining."

Yun Zheng looked at everyone speechlessly: "You have many responsibilities, and I also have many responsibilities! How about I switch with you?"

The ministers paused for a moment, and fell silent...
