The abolition of the Enyin System caused an uproar in the court, which lasted for days and even intensified. Liu Chen devolved the matter to Fenghua Palace and handed it over to the ministers for discussion. There is nothing to discuss about this matter. Naturally, no one agrees with it. Only Liu Yan and Shen Jinghong insist on abolishing it.

After another morning of endless noise, Liu Yan left Fenghua Palace tiredly and came to Liubo Pavilion to take a rest.

Not long after, Shen Jinghong came to the pavilion and bowed slightly to Liu Yan.

"See you, Your Majesty."

Liu Yan looked at him sideways. He was in his prime of life and had a handsome appearance. When Wen Zheng saw him upstairs, Liu Yan knew that he was definitely not a creature in the pool.

"Sit down." Liu Yan smiled faintly, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of fragrant tea, "I have been arguing eloquently with all the ministers for an hour and a half today. Lord Shen must be thirsty. Please sit down and have a cup of tea with me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Shen Jinghong bowed before sitting down opposite Liu Yan.

Shen Jinghong glanced at it, his eyes moved, and he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

Liu Yan glanced at Shen Jinghong appreciatively and said slowly: "Master Shen is a smart man, so he should understand that haste makes waste. Abolition of the grace system has too many implications. If you want to eradicate it in one fell swoop, it's up to you and me. It's impossible with the power of two people."

Shen Jinghong seemed to have expected Liu Yan's words, and there was no surprise on his face, "The prince should have made a decision with his words."

Liu Yan smiled faintly: "The reason you persuaded Your Majesty to abolish the Enyin System is just to cultivate power for Your Majesty. The family has been favored by Enyin for generations, and its influence spreads throughout the government and the public. The tree has deep roots and is difficult to remove, so Your Majesty will be constrained every day. I know both your and His Majesty's thoughts, and since you are loyal, I am willing to help you, but you have to obey my orders on how to act next."

Shen Jinghong's expression changed, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. He bowed his head and said, "But it depends on the prince's orders."

The doors and windows of the Fenghua Palace were closed tightly, blocking out the howling wind outside, but at the moment, the warm atmosphere inside the palace was as chilling as the cold winter.

There were seven or eight people standing in the hall, but it was completely silent. It was hard to even hear breathing. Each person's face was covered with a layer of frost, and their heads were slightly hung and unable to raise their heads. A dark purple was reflected in their eyes, which was The official robe of the political king weighed heavily on their hearts.

A high chair carved from rosewood was placed in the middle. The handsome and elegant young man was dressed in a dark purple official robe. He was calm and proud. He held a thick memorial with his slender fingers and looked at the people with different expressions in front of him leisurely.

"All of you here are six ministers, veteran ministers, who have worked hard and dedicated their lives. In a few years, you can retire and return to your hometown with honor." Liu Yan slowly opened the memorial, and everyone's eyelids twitched involuntarily. I looked over it, but after all, I was too old to see the words on it clearly. "Zhuang Zixian was supposed to retire from office next year. He has a good official reputation and has never made any big mistakes. Your Majesty wanted to give him a favor and let him leave a name in history, but he didn't want him to make mistakes and end up in danger. He would be implicated. Three tribes. In order to expiate his crime, Zhuang Zixian honestly confessed all the evidence of his crimes over the years. Even I could not have imagined that so many people would be involved."
