It was not entirely impossible. It was only a matter of time. Among the many princes and princesses, only Eldest Brother Yan, who had befriended Qian Jiyun, was the only one who truly seemed fit to be a member of the royal family.

Qian Jiyun suddenly sat up straight and said seriously, “How is this usurping the throne? It’s more like an abdication. The Emperor is immoral. Should we let him continue to degrade this nation?”

“That’s true.” An Jiuyue sighed.

“I returned from Ding Nuo Academy and heard from the elders that there had been disasters in five or six prefectures near the eastern border. However, the old Emperor acted as if nothing had happened. He only sent someone for disaster relief, but they were only good at flattery and filling their pockets.

Haha!” She sneered.

“It’s the Empress’s nephew. He’s always up to no good,” Qian Jiyun replied.

“It might be a good thing if you can really control the eastern border. You can discuss the specifics with Eldest Brother Yan. I’m on board with whatever you decide,” An Jiuyue replied.

To put it bluntly, she did not care much about the position of Prince An Yang. She simply hoped that the commoners could live better lives.

After receiving Yan Shen’s letter, Eldest Brother Yan entered the Prince Zhan Yun Residence at night.

“I was worried about that too.”

He had just arrived at Qian Jiyun’s study when he heard someone report that the disasters in the east were severe.

“Jiyun, what do you think? You might not know, but Yuan Ning has made a mess of the disaster relief efforts. If this continues, I’m afraid the eastern border will truly descend into chaos.”

Qian Jiyun looked up at Eldest Brother Yan and said, “Sit down first.” He looked at the person reporting to him and gestured for him to leave first.

“I’ll take my leave.”

After greeting Eldest Brother Yan, the person left the study and closed the door for them.

“You had Yan Shen invite me; is there an important matter to discuss?” Eldest Brother Yan noticed that he and Qian Jiyun were alone in the study but continued to speak softly.

His father had been doing fine a few years ago. At the very least, he was still in the mood to deal with government affairs.

However, he had become increasingly reckless in the past two years. He lacked the awareness of a ruler. It was as if the lives of the commoners had nothing to do with him.

“There’s something I want you to know.”

Qian Jiyun lowered his head and seemed to think for a moment before looking up at Eldest Brother Yan.

“What is it?” Eldest Brother Yan asked.

“I want to change the ruler of Daqing Kingdom,” Qian Jiyun said.

He spoke calmly, as if he were simply asking if he had breakfast or slept.

Eldest Brother Yan opened his mouth, wanting to clarify if he had misheard. However, he hesitated for a long time and said nothing.

He knew that anything Qian Jiyun said had to be achievable. After all, he also

felt that it was time for a change in leadership in Daqing Kingdom.

It was unclear whether Daqing Kingdom would still exist if his father continued playing like this.

“What are your plans?”

“The eastern border is in chaos. When the time comes, you can tell the Emperor to send the Zhan Yun Army to the eastern border to handle it,” Qian Jiyun said.

“What?” Eldest Brother Yan stood up. How could he stay seated any longer?

“You want to withdraw from the southern border? That won’t do. It wasn’t easy stabilizing the southern border.. If you withdraw now, won’t it lead to chaos in another region?”
