Chapter 54 There is someone else behind the scenes!
Chu Lu was a little surprised, frowned and asked, "Why are you here so late?"

"The last general boldly believed that even if he captured the Royal Forest Army, what would happen next might cause turmoil in the imperial capital, so he spent some time cleaning out the royal guards and the patrol camp, and then sent people to block the residences of the ministers. Now no matter what happens, No one will resist whatever your Majesty does," Su Muyun said.

"That's it." Chu Lu originally planned to hold him to account, but gave up after hearing this.

At this time, the queen asked blankly: "You, what are you talking about? What took down the Imperial Guards? The Imperial Guards are full of people from our Liu family, how can you take them down?!"

"Tell me! How do you take it down?!" the queen shouted hysterically.

But Chu Lu ignored her, and Su Muyun ignored her.

"Your Majesty," Su Muyun said, "Please give your order, what should we do next?"

"Send two people to arrest the queen and put her in prison. I still have something to ask her later. As for the remaining people..." Chu Lu said expressionlessly: "Kill them all."

"Yes, the last general has given the order!"

Immediately two soldiers stood up, one on the left and one on the right, holding up the queen.

The queen was stunned for a moment, then struggled angrily: "Let me go! Let me go! I am the eldest daughter of the Liu family and the current queen! Who do you think you are?! You dare to touch me? I will kill you, I will kill you Got you!"

She yelled at Chu Lu again: "Xu Liniang, you don't have to bluff! Even if a few generals are willing to help you, so what? All the civil and military officials in the dynasty are from our Liu family! Kill them all? Ha! Then I see you How to govern..."

Pfft.

As soon as he raised the knife and lowered it, a group of people's heads fell to the ground.

The civil and military officials, who were still holding on to any luck, were stunned for a moment, then screamed in horror and fled in all directions, trying to leave the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

However, the intersections were blocked, and the unarmed civil and military officials were no match for the soldiers.

For a time, blood flowed into a river, and screams could not be heard.

The queen looked at the scene in front of her, dumbfounded, and then shouted with despair: "Ahhhhhhh!"

The killing in the Hall of Supreme Harmony ended quickly.

But the killing outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony had just begun.

Chu Lu took the lead and left the palace with a group of royal guards. He went to the Liu family first and achieved his original goal.

——Get the family tree, search for it according to the map, and go on a killing spree.

However, Chu Lu deliberately left a thin line. As long as the servants and the like did not resist, they would just be imprisoned.

The same goes for those who have severed ties.

After killing the Liu family, they headed non-stop to the next house, and the next house, and the next house...

It wasn't until the next morning that things came to an end.

The imperial city was littered with corpses and rivers of blood, and the smell of blood was as strong as a battlefield.

On this day, all the people in the imperial city were frightened and hid in their homes shivering.

######
In the prison, Minister Zhao sat on the thatch with an upright expression.

That day in the main hall, after she was dragged out by the soldiers assigned by the queen, she was thrown directly into here.

People from the Liu family also came and said bluntly that the queen's patience with her had reached its limit. Unless she was willing to surrender, she would never leave in her lifetime.

Zhao Shilang just snorted coldly.

She is the most traditional kind of scholar. She has read the Four Books and Five Classics since she was a child, and she attaches great importance to ethics.

As a civil servant of Dayan, it is natural for her to be loyal to the emperor.

As for the queen, a piece of shit that was causing trouble in the government, she just wanted to kill her. If she wanted her to surrender, she would rather die.

At this time, someone came in, ordered the jailer to open the cell door, and said, "Your Excellency, please come out."

Minister Zhao frowned and felt uneasy. She didn't believe that the queen would change her mind. She thought her time had come.

But she still had a sneer on her face: "Don't you want to wait, Queen? It doesn't matter, you despicable people, I will wait for you in hell!"

"Sir, you misunderstood." The man was about to explain.

"Come on. I'm not interested in listening to your sophistry." Zhao Shilang stood up, raised his chest and raised his head, walked out, and said loudly: "Don't be afraid of being broken into pieces, you must leave your innocence in the world!"

The man: "...that's all, you will understand later."

"Humph, lead the way!" Zhao Shilang sneered.

However, after a moment, she was stunned when she looked at the Qianqing Gate in front of her.

She thought she was going to be taken to the execution ground to be beheaded, so why did she come to clean up the family?
"Sir, you will find out when you go in."

Minister Zhao frowned and said coldly: "Okay! Let me see what tricks you are playing."

Zhao Shilang thought to himself that if the queen thought of some sinister means to humiliate him, then she would just hit her head against the pillar of the hall and die!
She stepped in and found that the hall was empty except for Chu Lu sitting on the throne.

His face was a little tired, his body was covered in blood, and his yellow robe was dyed red.

Zhao Shilang's pupils shrank and he immediately shouted: "Come quickly! Your Majesty..."

"Don't scream, don't scream." Chu Lu waved his hands and said, "I'm fine, I'm covered in other people's blood."

Zhao Shilang felt relieved, but then her doubts became more intense.

——Where did the blood on the Emperor come from?

At this time Chu Lu said: "I called you here to tell you two things. First, you will be the prime minister from now on, and you will be in charge of the government. Second, the court is short of manpower, so you must make arrangements as soon as possible. "

"Ah?" Minister Zhao was a little confused, feeling as if he had been hit with a stick.

——Why did I suddenly become prime minister?
Although he was confused, Zhao Shilang still answered cautiously: "The old woman has to gain the emperor's trust, so she is naturally confused, but the problem is such a personnel change. That... the former prime minister..."

"It's okay, she's dead."

"Huh? But even so, other officials..."

"They are also dead. All the officials in the court who are related to the Liu family are dead."

Minister Zhao was stunned. It took her a while to understand the meaning of this sentence, and then she said loudly: "Ah!?"

Zhao Shilang remembered that she was already the only royal party member in the court. Chu Lu said that all the officials in the court who were related to the Liu family were dead. Does that mean that all the high-ranking officials who were qualified to go to court were dead? !

"This, this, your Majesty, how did they die?" Zhao Shilang asked stammeringly.

"I killed him."

Zhao Shilang suddenly felt dizzy and suspected that he was dreaming.

Although she had some vague guesses, she was still shocked when she heard Chu Lu admit it in person.

"By the way, the Liu family faction in the Royal Forest Army has also been eliminated. You don't have to worry about rebellion or anything like that." Chu Lu said again.

boom.

Zhao Shilang felt like he had been hit hard again.

——Even the military power was taken back? !

"So can you do it?" Seeing Zhao Shilang's dazed look, Chu Lu was a little worried, "No, I'll find someone else."

"Okay! I can do it!" Zhao Shilang suddenly reacted.

How could she let this opportunity for great success slip away from her eyes?
She quickly shouted: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely handle things properly!"

All the ministers in the court were dead, and even if he took over the position of prime minister, he would still be a bachelor commander.

This situation may sound dire, but it's actually not difficult to deal with.

First of all, she already had a large number of old friends who had been squeezed out by the queen. Now that they are idle at home, as long as they are brought up, half of the vacancies can be filled immediately. In addition, Dayan held imperial examinations every year, and the number of scholars who were qualified to be officials increased year by year, but official positions were a carrot and a pit. As long as no one quits, they would not be able to get in.

Over time, a large number of reserves have naturally been accumulated.

Minister Zhao can definitely choose a group of them to fill in the blanks.

Although there will inevitably be some chaos in the early stage, it will soon be smoothed out and the government will run stably.

In the final analysis, it is not difficult to simply handle government affairs. The difficulty has always been in other aspects.

Therefore, Minister Zhao agreed very happily.

"Very good, I'll leave it to you then." Chu Lu stood up and said, "Retreat from the court."

Zhao Shilang panicked when he saw this scene. Logically speaking, she shouldn't panic, but what happened in this short period of time was so outrageous that she inevitably felt a little uneasy.

"Your Majesty, where are you going?" she asked subconsciously.

"Go and interrogate the Queen."

#######
Chu Lu opened the chat group and clicked on the task interface.

[Mission content: Go to the No. 9 female channel world, help Xu Liniang eliminate all hidden enemies, and stabilize the country. 】

Now he has killed everyone who deserves to be killed, and the queen is also in prison. Logically speaking, he should have completed his mission.

However, Chu Lu clicked and a pop-up window popped up.

[The task is not completed and the reward cannot be obtained. 】

"I knew it!" There was no look of surprise on Chu Lu's face.

He had already guessed that this might be the case.

Xu Liniang looked surprised: "Huh? Did the system make an error? Why hasn't it been completed yet?"

"There is nothing wrong." Chu Lu said: "Xu Liniang, do you still remember? Before you traveled through time, you told about your experience and mentioned one thing."

"Huh? What?"

"You said that everything was going well until one day, the queen suddenly seemed like a different person, and then your life became a mess." Chu Lu said.

Xu Liniang was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted: "Chu Lu, are you saying that there is someone behind the Queen's back?!"

"Yes. It was originally possible, but now the task shows that it has not been completed, so that means it is certain."

"But...she is the queen! Who can order her?"

"Can't you just ask?"

Chu Lu came to the imperial prison and saw the queen with disheveled hair.

When the queen saw him, she immediately rushed over, grabbed the fence and said, "Emperor Dog! Let me out quickly! Otherwise, you will not end well!"

"Queen, you have already lost." Chu Lu sighed: "Recognize the reality, you are already a prisoner."

"Ha! Fart!" The queen sneered: "Our Liu family is a big family, and it has been passed down for countless years. How can you, a little emperor, overthrow it? If you don't let me out, be careful of my aunt..."

"Your mother is dead, and so is your little mother." Chu Lu said, "Your whole family is dead."

"Hmph, you thought I would..."

"I'm serious. If you don't believe me, look at it." Chu Lu stepped aside, pointed at the group of heads and said, "The whole family is here."

The row of heads was specially prepared by Chu Lu. They were arranged very neatly, with faces facing the same direction, and all of them had expressions of death-defying expressions.

Queen: "..."

The queen immediately rolled her eyes and fainted.

After a long time, the queen woke up leisurely, held her forehead and murmured to herself: "Is it a dream? What a terrible dream."

"It's reality." Chu Lu said.

The queen suddenly woke up, turned around and immediately saw the row of heads behind Chu Lu.

This time she didn't faint from fright, but the look on her face was even more resentful.

"Emperor Dog, you will die badly!" the queen said angrily: "Even if you kill the whole Liu family, there will still be others who come to you for revenge! If one Liu family falls, there will be thousands more. Liu family!”

"They are all dead too," Chu Lu said.

The queen was stunned.

Chu Lu continued: "Everyone related to the Liu family is dead. I also built a Jingguan outside. If you don't believe me, I can take you to see it."

The queen was trembling slightly. She was so shocked and frightened that she couldn't even maintain the look of resentment on her face.

"You, you, you, how could you..." The Queen's tone softened, "How could you do this?"

"I don't want to, but I can't help it." Chu Lu sighed: "Who asked you to seek death?"

Queen: "..."

"Okay, the gossip is over, it's time to talk about business." Chu Lu looked at the queen and said, "There is a reason why I kept you here. I have a few questions to ask you."

Chu Lu said slowly: "Whether it's using a dustpan to slander the imperial concubine, or poisoning me to take away my throne...did you really think of these things yourself?"

Hearing this, the queen trembled all over, with strong shock in her eyes.

Although she immediately covered up the past moment, it did not escape Chu Lu's eyes.

Chu Lu immediately understood that he had guessed correctly.

"I, I don't know what you are talking about. Of course I came up with it myself." The Queen said.

"...Queen, do you think you still have the capital to hide it?" Chu Lu said.

"I didn't lie!"

Chu Lu sighed and clapped his hands.

The next moment, a group of soldiers filed in carrying various instruments of torture.

The queen's face suddenly turned pale as she looked at the instruments of torture.

Chu Lu glanced at it and showed a hint of disgust.

Although he has killed countless people, Chu Lu is just like ordinary people in this regard. He resists those cruel tortures and hates the screams and twisted bodies.

This is also the reason why Chu Lu talked so much nonsense with the queen before. If the queen's psychological defense can be broken down with words, then there is no need for these things.

But if the queen insists on being tough, then Chu Lu won't care so much.

He is not the Virgin after all.

Besides, if a gentleman can cook at a distance, the emperor can also go to jail.

The worst thing is not to look at it.

"Queen, this is your last chance." Chu Lu said, "Will you tell me?"

The queen glanced at the torture instrument and then at Chu Lu's indifferent expression.

She swallowed, unable to bear the fear in her heart, and nodded and said: "I said, I said!"

"It all started when I went back to my parents' home to visit my relatives..."
