Kong Xun is the legitimate prince Si Ye on the royal jade butterfly.

After being scolded by An Xin, he finally cheered up. Under the arrangement of the Ministry of Rites, he offered sacrifices to heaven, earth, and the ancestral community, stating that he was the one who inherited the throne from the ancestors of heaven and earth and passed on the orthodox tradition.

He sat upright in the imperial palace wearing the imperial crown and formal attire, accepting congratulations and greetings from the civil and military officials below.

"Long live our emperor, long live our emperor, long, long live our emperor!!"

The loud shouts of the officials in the hall further confirmed the distinction between the emperor and his subjects.

At this solemn moment, only one person bowed to Kong Xun who was sitting on the dragon throne, but no one stood up to criticize.

Just because she had been exempted from kneeling by the late emperor himself, there was no reason why she should not have to kneel when seeing her father, but should kneel and bow when seeing her son now.

Not to mention that Kong Xun had never thought about An Xin performing any kind of rituals of monarch and subject to him.

Besides, his father did not allow An Xin to kneel and kowtow to him as the emperor, so as his son, he could not bypass his father and ask An Xin to perform the ceremony.

This turmoil in the Daqian Dynasty implicated many officials.

This situation leaves a lot of space available.

Logically speaking, if we were to say that the only person in the entire Daqian officialdom who could openly and honestly implement the principle of nepotism was none other than the shameless An Xin.

If she admits to being first, no one would dare to claim to be second.

But this time after Kong Xun ascended the throne.

At the morning court that day, many ministers were arguing fiercely over how to arrange their own people to sit in the ideal positions.

If those people hadn't cared about etiquette and face, they would have just started cursing and fighting.

An Xin looked at the spitting in the court, raised the sleeve of his official uniform to wipe the unknown object splashed on his face, felt disgusted, and quietly retreated to the corner.

"Master An, why don't you fight for your students today?"

An Xin turned sideways and saw a minister looking at her with a sidelong look and an arrogant expression on his face, and asked in a sarcastic tone.

Other officials nearby all turned their eyes to An Xin.

An Xin smoothed his sleeves and smiled faintly: "Since Lord Gao wants me to go up and compete so much, it's not a bad idea."

An Xin, who originally wanted to hide in the corner to watch the fun, glanced at Mr. Gao who was provoking her with a clear gaze, and the smile on her lips deepened.

This made Mr. Gao and the officials beside him feel uneasy for no reason.

I wonder what An Xin, the recognized troublemaker in the court, can do.

On the other side, the ministers were still fighting for good positions for their own people, and the argument was fierce and fierce.

Then An Xin walked leisurely to the center of the hall and bowed respectfully to Kong Xun who was sitting on the dragon throne on the high platform.

"Your Majesty, I have a memorial to report~"

Kong Xun, who was originally having a headache because of the ministers and whose brows were furrowed so tightly that they could pinch a mosquito to death, immediately became much clearer when he heard An Xin's clear voice resounding throughout the hall.

He looked at her with gentle eyes, "An Qing, just tell me what you have to say."

Censor Shan, who also didn't want to be criticized, and Chi Huanong, the head of the Hanlin Academy, who hid aside, saw An Xin, who was provoked by Lord Gao, walk back to the center of the hall.

They all raised their eyebrows and glanced at Mr. Gao who was still arrogant.

She understood that he looked down on An Xin, the female official who was personally appointed as the Minister of Assisting the State by the late Emperor Sheng An, so she spoke rudely to her and even made sarcastic remarks.

An Xin smiled faintly, neither angry nor lukewarm, and glanced at the officials who were arguing in the hall.

All the officials shrank their necks.

Because of the downfall of Prime Minister Xiao's party, his cronies, the Minister of Justice and the Minister of Revenue, were either beheaded or exiled.

Many high-ranking officials in the court fell from power. Some of them fought for their own positions, while others fought for positions for their allies and confidants.

Now when I see An Xin looking at them, I always feel a sense of danger.

"You said you have something to report to the emperor, but you just want to push your students into good positions.

With us old guys here, even if you are a super-class minister, don’t think you can dominate the court and take all the benefits.”

Kong Xun narrowed his eyes, his deep gaze made it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Ever since he ascended the throne, some ministers in high positions have relied on their seniority and felt self-righteous about their hard work and contributions to the court. During this period, not only did they occasionally show disrespect to him.

Even towards An Xin, the minister who was personally appointed by her father before his death, those people bullied her because she was a female official and looked down on her.

There was a hint of coldness in Kong Xun's eyes as he looked at the Grand Marshal, who was a first-rank official, and sneered at An Xin in a sarcastic manner.

"An Qing hasn't spoken yet," Kong Xun said calmly, "You can already know what she is going to say. The Grand Marshal is indeed very shrewd and wise."

Kong Xun's voice was so clear that one could not tell the joy, anger, sorrow or happiness in his tone.

"I do not deserve such praise from the emperor." The general lowered his head slightly with an indifferent expression on his face.

He did not have much respect for Kong Xun, the newly enthroned emperor, and showed a contemptuous and perfunctory attitude as to whether Kong Xun was really praising him.

An Xin lowered his eyebrows and raised one corner of his eye.

Kong Xun noticed the general's contemptuous attitude towards him, and his eyes darkened with a cold light.

Only now did he deeply realize how worried An Xin was for him when he was negative about ascending the throne and An Xin showed a look of disappointment in him.

If he had remained depressed at that time and delayed ascending the throne, these ambitious political dignitaries and ministers might have really picked out someone who was easy to control from the royal family's side branches.

To replace him, the legitimate prince who had just restored his status.

If these people were really allowed to control the power of the Daqian Dynasty, I am afraid that he, the legitimate heir holding the edict of succession, would die a miserable death.

Kong Xun looked at An Xin with gratitude. Not only did she teach him a lot of things, but she also helped him when the late emperor suddenly passed away due to his injuries and he was in confusion.

It was Xiao Shanchang who pulled him out of his decadent mood, and joined forces with the royalists to suppress those ambitious and powerful ministers and put himself on the throne.

Just as the Grand Marshal glanced disdainfully at Kong Xun sitting on the dragon throne and An Xin standing with his eyes downcast, he thought that with his high position and power, he could barely be considered a veteran minister of the Daqian court for three dynasties.

He was a young emperor who had just ascended the throne and had not yet firmly established his position. Even though he was appointed as a female official to assist the country, he was still an ignorant and timid woman after all, and the two men did not dare to do anything to him.

The officials in the hall heard the sound of a whip.

"Immediately afterwards, an old man cried out in pain, "Ah!"

Everyone then realized that the Grand Marshal, who had always thought of himself as having made great contributions to the court and usually looked at people with the side of his eyes, was covering his head to avoid the whip that An Xin was whipping at him.
