After realizing this, the emperor's face turned pale as paper in an instant.

"You...you traitors! Have you forgotten that the late emperor's will passed the throne to me? You are all helping Li Junyan now. Aren't you afraid that the late emperor will come looking for you in your dreams at midnight?"

Prince Heng sighed, "Your Majesty, we do not wish to go against the late emperor's wishes, but Your Majesty, not only do you not put the people first, but you also poison them. Acting so willfully and recklessly, how is this any different from a tyrant? We were deeply trusted by the late emperor and promised him that we would safeguard the Great Zhou. How can we watch you destroy the Great Zhou?"

Right now, the Emperor has lost the support of the people and is no longer capable of leadership and decision-making. Please abdicate!"

The others bowed in greeting, but each one spoke with a firmer tone than the last.

"Please abdicate, Your Majesty!"

After listening to their words, no matter how much the emperor didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that the situation was hopeless and he would no longer have a chance of becoming emperor.

The emperor sat down at the table dejectedly. "If I agree to abdicate, will you do what I promised you?"

This is a question to Li Junyan.

Li Junyan looked at the emperor expressionlessly, "Of course you can. As long as you stop having any evil thoughts, behave properly as your idle prince, and don't break the law, I will surely let you live a peaceful and prosperous old age."

The emperor smiled sadly, "Then... thank you very much. I will write the abdication edict!"

The emperor personally wrote the abdication edict, and with Prince Heng and others as witnesses, even if Li Junyan ascended the throne, no one would say that his position was not legitimate.

Not to mention, he has the support of the goddess Sang Jueqian, and the people of the world are also on Li Junyan's side.

Overall, things are progressing very smoothly.

The next morning, at the morning court, the emperor read out the abdication edict in front of all the civil and military officials in the court.

Li Junyan walked into the hall under the watchful eyes of the crowd and became the new emperor.

Some civil and military officials in the court were shocked, some were delighted, some were disdainful, and some were angry.

But no matter what everyone thought in their hearts, they all looked respectful and no one dared to say anything against it.

Even the former eldest prince, now Prince Cheng, did not dare to voice any objection.

After the morning court session, Li Junyan went straight into the imperial palace, and imperial edicts were issued from the imperial study.

The first imperial decree was that all the concubines in the palace should be taken out of the palace and supported by their children.

As soon as this imperial edict was issued, not only the concubines in the palace, but also their children were very happy.

After the death of the previous emperor, the residences of these concubines were changed, after all, they had to make room for the new emperor's concubines.

Not only are their living quarters not as good as before, but their treatment is also not as good as before.

It is true that they no longer have to compete for favor, but they also have no hope for the rest of their lives.

Every day in the palace seemed like a struggle, an extremely torturous one.

Under such circumstances, they can leave the palace!

It has been decades since they entered the palace, and they have long forgotten what life is like outside the palace.

Now that I can finally go out, how can I not be happy?

And after going to their son's house, they will be the people with the highest status in the house. They no longer have to abide by the rules, no longer have to look at other people's faces, and no longer have to be frightened.

Not only can you live a comfortable life, but you can also enjoy family happiness.

No matter what others say, they and their children are grateful and convinced by Li Junyan.

The second imperial edict conferred the title of Prince Li on the seventh prince, granting him not only a princely palace but also a royal farm and a royal courtyard.

Just as Li Junyan had promised before, as long as Prince Li doesn't do anything weird in the future, he will definitely be able to live a peaceful and happy life until his old age.

In addition to these two imperial edicts of grace, the third imperial edict was to order the establishment of girls' schools throughout the Great Zhou, so that all girls of appropriate age could attend school.

In addition to the girls' school, there was also a girls' medical school.

Women can not only learn to read and write, but also learn medical skills, and later they can open clinics to treat diseases and save lives.

The Imperial Medical Service now begins to recruit female doctors from all over the world.

As long as you have good medical skills, you can be recruited as a female imperial physician. Like male imperial physicians, you will have an official position, official uniform, and salary.

This series of actions was like throwing a stone into a calm lake, causing ripples one after another.

Some are happy about it, some are angry about it, some support it, and some oppose it.

But as soon as the voices of opposition emerged, they were suppressed by Li Junyan with force.

At this point, everyone in the court finally realized that Li Junyan was a very domineering emperor who did not care about the art of balance. He would do whatever he wanted to do.
