Chapter 224 The only way to get rich
After the imperial examination, Xiao Li left the affairs of the court to Song Junzhan. Xiao Li completely managed the country as a company. She was the chairman and had absolute controlling rights in the company.
Song Junzhan and the others are the CEOs she hired with high salaries. She sets a direction and they are responsible for completing it.
Of course, there is still an essential difference between a company and a country. At least a company cannot kill people to usurp the throne.
Therefore, what Xiao Li has to do is not to govern the world and be a benevolent emperor, but to grasp the armed forces, hold all the military and thermal weapons in his hands. In this way, Song Junzhan is a civil servant, no matter how good the civil servant is How capable you are of rebelling.
Lu Cang dared to rebel because Xiao Jingyun was stupid. If it were Xiao Li, Lu Cang's rebellion would be like a joke.
In a word, use force to control law and use force to force force.
Holding the truth in hand and making good use of talents, the emperor will be relaxed.
The court gradually got back on track, and with free time, Xiao Li began to clean up the group of people who had been imprisoned before.
Xiao Li packed up all the relatives of the emperor and sent them to guard the imperial mausoleum.
She doesn't need relatives to support her, nor ancestors, nor elders who tell her what to do.
Therefore, they were all sent to accompany their ancestors.
The honor of being crowned a king and given a title like before?
That's even more ridiculous. She doesn't even know anyone, so she has to support these people just because they are relatives?
This question sounds like your brain is filled with water.
As a woman, she is the emperor, and the people who most want to conquer her are this group of people. How stupid is she to raise a group of rebels by herself?
After dealing with the royal relatives, that is the civil and military officials. It is best to deal with the military attachés and keep those who have the ability. After collecting them, when they saw those weapons, they could not hold on for a few days before they completely surrendered.
Weapons that are as sharp as iron, armor that is invulnerable, and thermal weapons with high destructive power are temptations that no military officer can resist.
Those incompetent losers are first inspected, then their homes are searched, and finally they are driven away.
The civil servants had previously picked and reserved some people with lower official positions. As for those with higher official positions, well, they were killed in pieces, so it was easier.
Most of the other families have dealt with it, and the biggest one is Wang Changwen.
Xiao Li hesitated between killing or not killing, but finally gave the Wang family a house raiding package.
It has to be said that the Wang family is really rich, and they have the most treasures after plundering so many houses.
A horse will not be fat without night grass, and a man will not be rich without windfall.
Xiao Li is now like a bandit, plundering one house after another. The treasury during Xiao Jingyun's period was empty, and there were a lot of bad debts caused by corruption and bribery.
After Xiao Li ascended the throne, he doubled the size of the treasury in one month by confiscating his homes, and the expansion is continuing.
There is more money than you can spend, and you are truly rich.
Sure enough, the only way to get rich is to transfer other people's wealth.
——
Wang Changwen had long been mentally prepared for the confiscation of the Wang family. His son and grandson were both dead. No matter how severe the blow was, he had withstood it and now he is calm.
As a result, he learned that his daughter had become an official just after he was released from the palace.
Wang Yizhu?
When Wang Changwen first heard this name, he felt familiar. It was said that she was the new second-placed candidate and the only woman.
Just when he was about to sigh, he suddenly realized, Wang Yizhu? Isn't this his daughter?
She was used to calling her daughter queen, but she was not used to hearing people talking about her name suddenly.
But he soon became confused again. His daughter was Xiao Jingyun's queen. Now that Xiao Jingyun was dead, she was even expelled from the royal family and could not even go to the imperial mausoleum. His daughter also became a deposed queen.
Logically speaking, even if the empress did not kill her, she should be sent out to be resettled.
According to my daughter's temperament, she should find a house or a nunnery and spend the rest of her life peacefully.
Listen to what they say, she participated in the imperial examination as a woman, was recognized by all the candidates, won second place in the public vote, and became the second best in the list.
She took the exam, was recognized by everyone for her talents, and became an official in the court. How could this be his daughter?
It must be the same name.
But reality did not allow him to escape. As soon as he returned home, his house was being ransacked and he was crying and howling. A group of people pulled him and asked him to go to Wang Yizhu to plead for mercy.
It turns out that this Wang Yizhu is actually that Wang Yizhu. The former queen is now an official in the court and is highly valued by the empress.
After Wang Changwen figured things out, he was speechless for a long time.
Good news: The Wang family may not fall.
Bad news: The one who came to the fore was the Wang family's daughter, a daughter who had long since separated from him.
Wang Changwen couldn't bear to beg his daughter, and he felt that even if he begged the empress, he would never pardon the Wang family just because of Wang Yizhu.
But he was open-minded and other members of the Wang family were not willing to accept it.
In order to keep their glory and wealth, the Wang family tried every means to get in front of Wang Yizhu. At this time, everyone finally knew her identity.
The daughter of the Wang family and the former queen.
This is as shocking as a princess proclaiming herself emperor.
However, no matter what others said, Wang Yizhu was on duty as usual, and the empress personally sent someone to protect her.
Everyone was shocked for two days and accepted it.
Originally, they had already accepted the woman to be an official with them. It seems that this woman's identity as the former queen has not changed. The only difference is that they think it is quite honorable. This woman is the queen, which they did not dare to think about before. existence.
Before the Wang family had completely left, the Lu family's trial came.
The Lu family also ransacked their homes and executed them directly, leaving no one alive.
The remaining tens of thousands of Lu family members were divided into four parts by Xiao Li and all had their surnames changed.
After changing his surname, he was sent to four directions, which directly divided the family.
Of course the Lu family is unwilling to change their surname, but if they don't change their surname, they will die.
Xiao Li is now killing people until he is numb, and there is no need to kill the entire Lu family. Therefore, instead of looting the family and exterminating the clan, he is looting the ancestors.
Lu family: Already honest.
Ancestor of the Lu family:.
As for the corpse puppet Lu Yanzhi, after scaring several officials from the Lu family faction to death, Xiao Li had people chain him up.
I haven't taken care of it for so many days, until now.
Looking at the corpse that was chained to an iron pillar, with its hands and feet mutilated and nailed by iron nails, Xiao Li was actually a little curious about whether he still had human consciousness.
But remembering the rough, unpleasant and strange voice of the corpse puppet last time, she decided to suppress her curiosity.
It's not that I'm afraid, I just don't want to experience that creepy feeling.
Have someone bring her secret jar and pour it directly on the corpse.
The corpse puppet couldn't feel pain, so he didn't move from beginning to end, and just turned into a puddle of black sticky water in front of Xiao Li.
Since he is dead, he should die completely.
But unlike the first time he killed him, this time Xiao Li just wanted to witness his complete disappearance, and there was no emotional ups and downs from beginning to end.
Even if he was Lu Yanzhi, he could not arouse the slightest emotion in her.
Prince Consort? Ex-husband?
In her eyes, he was a dead man from beginning to end.
Not dead, already dead, fake corpse, now completely gone.
