"So, my mother wanted to let her sons establish their own residences outside the palace, so she brought her back with her."

"That will free up some space, you know? All those imperial concubines are crammed together."

"Also, don't think your mother is being long-winded. Let me remind you again, you only have one son, the thirteenth prince, who can be of use to you."

"Although you're not very close to your brothers, they're all outstanding individuals."

"It's also because your mother watched them grow up from childhood. By arranging them in suitable positions, you can lighten your burden a bit."

"Don't try to take on everything yourself, or you'll wear yourself out."

Yinzhen was very pleased with his mother's concern, and what she said was true; she wasn't very close to her brothers, but she wasn't distant either.

Moreover, this time no one opposed his ascension to the throne; he became emperor smoothly and steadily.

The brothers couldn't cause any trouble either, and besides, in their previous life, they only started taking elixirs after they felt their bodies were failing, which ruined their health.

This time I must take good care of my health; at the very least, I can't let myself die from exhaustion at my desk.

Looking at Wanwan's loving eyes, Yinzhen said, "Mother, don't worry, I have my own plans."

"And as for those imperial concubines that Mother mentioned, those with children should all leave the palace to retire. If their sons are still young, they should stay in the palace until their sons grow up and leave to establish their own households before they go out with them."

"That's fine, it saves them from making a fuss. The Empress is a junior and it would be difficult to handle, and I'm too lazy to deal with them anyway."

Wanwan had no intention of interfering in politics. In any case, her son was a wise ruler and a good emperor. "You know what's going on. Since that's the case, there's nothing more to do. Go and get busy."

Then Wanwan let him go back.

Finally, Yinzhen decreed that all the imperial concubines and consorts who had reached the age to leave the palace and establish their own residences should follow their sons out of the palace to live out their retirement.

Yinzhen's decree was welcomed by his brothers, after all, their mother in the palace always had to take care of this.

He then divided his brothers into different groups, assigning them tasks based on their personalities.

After carefully dividing the burden, I realized that my responsibilities had lessened.

Moreover, he wasn't afraid of his brothers rebelling at all, since this time it was perfectly legitimate.

Moreover, they couldn't cause any trouble because his maternal and paternal families were also very powerful.

Just when everyone in the court thought that their emperor's big move was over, an even bigger move suddenly broke out.

The emperor wanted to issue an edict to ban women from binding their feet. At first, they thought it was normal, since the late emperor had also issued such an edict. However, things remained the same, and it didn't have any effect.

But they didn't expect their emperor to have such a grand plan.

Taxes were increased for those who were taxed, officials were dismissed from their posts, and their homes were confiscated. What's even more outrageous is that they were also punished collectively.

This displeased some court officials, since they had several women with bound feet in their households.

But the emperor was determined to do it this way, and the Wanyan family and his uncle, the Jueluo clan, supported him, as did his thirteenth brother, a hereditary prince.

As for his brothers, they had just been granted titles and allowed to continue working in the court, so they were too embarrassed to object at this time.

The decree was thus implemented.

Let's get this love going, my darlings!
