It's better to think about it. After all, the prince's bloody head is still hanging there. If anyone is unclear, they can go and have a look. Energy Group 1676

Even Her Royal Highness the Grand Princess felt that something was a little strange, but Li Cong did not explain to her what was going on. He just asked the fake emperor to issue an imperial edict not to enter the palace in the future. She would still be in her original position.

Her business is still hers, and she will still be the princess of the empire in the future. This result actually made Her Royal Highness the eldest princess cry. She never thought there would be such an ending, but now it has happened. She feels betrayed by her.

The royal brother really shouldn't do this.

At seven o'clock in the morning, the sun slowly rose. One night in the imperial capital was over. The prince's rebellion had a great impact on the entire imperial capital. Now the army outside the city was preparing to fight for their master.

After the first battle, the imperial edict came out, and everyone returned to their respective camps. The prince's head was still wandering around the four city gates. When the prince's subordinates saw the head, they all felt cold from the bottom of their hearts.

But the emperor's next announcement made them breathe a sigh of relief. They went to the Ministry of Household Affairs to receive three months' salary according to their official position, and then they could get out. Those who continued to stay in the military camp were killed without mercy. As for the emperor's army

There is also three months' salary, but they can continue to stay in the army in the future.

Li Cong had no intention of taking action against the concubines in the harem, but Li Cong could not let them have such a strong power. Li Cong asked them to hand over the weapons in their hands. Of course, as a subsidy,

A person can get three hundred gold coins for giving money. Although it is not a lot of money, it is still better than having nothing. The concubines in the harem were frightened when they saw that the emperor had even killed the prince. At this time

No one stood up and said anything. Everyone felt that it was better to listen to the emperor. However, there were many people who wanted to get through, so they just brought some random people. But when the eunuch gave them the list

, they realized that this matter could not be passed out, and the emperor had already investigated it.

Although the concubines in the harem had long known that the emperor was secretly investigating their power, they never expected that the emperor's investigation would be so careful. In fact, this was the conclusion Li Cong came to after combining intelligence from several parties.

Just like the Empress, the Empress has 350 confidants in the imperial army, 12,000 in the eight legions, and 30,000 in the imperial army around the imperial capital. The Empress also has her own private army.

Ten thousand people, these trees are all made very accurately. Even if there are a few that slip through the net, they will never be too different. After seeing the news, the Queen was a little doubtful whether something appeared around her.

He was a traitor. Of course, what he suspected most was the few palace maids and eunuchs around him. After all, they were the ones who helped him the most with confidential matters. It happened that His Majesty wanted to replace all these eunuchs and palace maids. This

Let her kill all her henchmen ruthlessly, and would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go.

Imperial Concubine Yan was also a little surprised when she looked at the list in her hand. Her thoughts were deeper than those of the Queen, but everything about her was also dug up, and more than 80% of her subordinates were found.

After she came out, this girl was a little scared now. She had no idea where the emperor found the evidence. Not only her own, but also the evidence found by His Majesty in her family was quite sufficient.

Yes, everyone in the harem was wondering how many secrets the emperor was hiding from them. Originally there were many imperial concubines who were of the same mind as the emperor, but after this incident, everyone felt that they had no basis for it.

If you are not trusted, how can you still be with the emperor's family? In that case, you will not know how you died in the future. The most important thing is that the emperor killed his own son. It can be said that basically even if his own son is in the wrong

It was impossible to kill his own son. After all, he was of his own blood. This made the emperor a bit untenable.

Although the incident in the Imperial Capital has spread to all major regions, the chief executives of many regions have chosen not to receive the news. They do not think that the Imperial Capital has experienced a dynasty change. They all feel in their hearts that the emperor's ability is

They were so powerful that they wiped out the prince's rebellion quietly. As for who the emperor was, they didn't even think about it, but they knew very clearly that the next adjustment would definitely be very big.

, they are also ready to move places. Indeed, Li Cong's first step is to make a large-scale transfer of the heads of the nine administrative regions. At least six people will leave their positions, and the other

The three people can still continue to serve, but the central government's leadership must definitely be strengthened, such as giving him some genetic medicine or something. This is also something that can't be helped. If you want to take over the entire planet in a short time, such a method is necessary.

Li Cong also wanted to convince people with his virtue, but we didn't have the time.

According to the intelligence detected by the satellite, the Snake Queen has already begun to assemble their troops in the southern city of the Savage Tribe. This time Li Cong is planning to deal with the Snake Queen all at once, so all matters within the empire must be resolved quickly, and

At this time, Li Cong also felt that his manpower was somewhat insufficient. Although he was able to defeat the barbarian army with more than 20,000 people the first time, it was because of his advanced weapons that time. They will definitely be prepared this time.

, so Li Cong had to expand his army. The new army now only has two battalions of 50,000 people, which is absolutely not enough. According to Li Cong's idea, these tens of thousands of people are enough to guard the imperial capital, and there are also those with Nan

Li Cong originally wanted to make money from the empire's arms trade, but now it seems that it is no longer needed. It would be better for the Southern Empire not to have such weapons. Li Cong is planning to do something big this time, selecting one hundred thousand from the Thor Legion.

People have come to join the new army. In fact, there are plenty of people now, and there are also plenty of weapons. But the consumption of crossbow arrows is really too great. In this chaos in the imperial capital, tens of thousands of people used three base crossbow arrows, millions of them.

, although there are some that can be recycled, Li Cong was still frightened by this number. There were more than 20,000 people. When there were 150,000 people, a base number was 7.5 million crossbow arrows. A battle would require at least 7.5 million crossbow arrows.

There are three and four cardinal numbers. In a war, dozens of cardinal numbers are possible, so Li was never prepared to let their army have too many people. It would be better to have fewer people, but it must be elite.

However, the expenditure was large, and the harvest was definitely not small. After capturing the palace, Li Cong began to look for the account books. The old emperor was dead, and some of the records in the palace would definitely contain their tens of thousands of years of wealth. When Li Cong found

I was dumbfounded, **, has the empire become so poor? The empire only has a financial revenue of 35 billion gold coins every year, and the expenses in all aspects are definitely not small. Every year at the end of the empire, there is only

There is a surplus of four to five billion gold coins, but according to the above records, the empire has been established for tens of thousands of years, and the years when there is a surplus are also a long time ago, at least thousands of years. Where has all this money gone? Li Congbai thought

I don’t know why. Anyway, this is not in the account book. Although there is not a lot of money in the palace, some rare treasures and so on are absolutely priceless. It is not yet time to sell things, so Li Cong will not

I had the idea of ​​doing these things, but the fake emperor noticed something, that is, there was a problem with the emperor's taxation policy. The big nobles paid relatively small taxes, so they only asked for money from the common people and paid it back.

Well, they revised the tax policy overnight, which will allow the central government to increase its revenue by at least 30% every year. As for corrupt officials, they are not capable of it yet.

On the fifth day of chaos in the imperial capital, thousands of royal children in the imperial capital, with the highest being the prince and the lowest being the viscount, all of them were required to join the Royal Guards, from first-class guards to second-class guards and third-class guards.

They all have to work, and the days of enjoyment in the past are over for them. This is what the fake emperor thought. If he wants to control the huge royal family, he must take some measures for their next generation. These 20-year-olds have to work.

Boys under the age of five must all join the Royal Guards. At the beginning, these people were unwilling, and they pushed back one by one. No matter how good the treatment in the Royal Guards was, it was useless to them, but Li Cong had his own

There is no way. After three years of serving in the Royal Forest Army, the children of the royal family can receive a one-time bounty of one million gold coins. This fact makes these royal children happy. They are basically the descendants of the family, and they are the direct descendants of the family.

Li Cong still dare not move for the time being. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that these people are having fun. Their salaries have been quite high in the past three years. During these three years of your Imperial Guard career, you will receive the salary of a leading soldier. This is what you are doing.

I will save up all your usual money and give it to you all at once. Everyone is so happy that they can't find the north. But His Majesty the Emperor even killed his own son. If you talk too much at this time, there will probably be no good ending.

Naturally, none of them dared to speak any more. Their own lives are more important, right?

In addition, Li Cong also modified the rights of various princes and ministers in the imperial capital a lot. According to their titles, they can retain certain guards, but the number of guards has been greatly reduced. Originally, many princes and nobles

I feel dissatisfied. How can a prince go out without tens of thousands of people? But Li Cong directly reduced them by more than half. The empire has set up a special etiquette department. If you want to pay back the ostentation, the empire will give it to you.

Yes, but you have to pay for it yourself. The empire has no reason to pay for you. Moreover, Li Cong used this rebellion to confiscate the homes of many princes and nobles who were related to the prince. Afterwards, statistics show that at least

Two princes, one prince, four kings, 62 dukes, 117 marquises and 511 earls were implicated to some extent. Most of them were speculators and demoted to common people, but the real princes

All the party members were beheaded, which suddenly weakened the empire's royal family a lot.

As for the other two major families, Li Cong of the Uranala clan and the Wuya clan also took special care of them. The two major families had a combined army of nearly 400,000 people, and Li Cong reserved 50,000 people for each of them.

Half of the children of the two families have been deposed, and each of the two families has been fined 10 billion gold coins. If you pay it, you can continue to survive. If you cannot be called out, you will have to disappear. Now

The patriarchs of the two major families are allocating the amount of fines to their descendants.

Although these princes and nobles were not convinced, there were even two dukes who prepared to leave the imperial capital with tens of thousands of people, but the result was that they were all killed. Hundreds of thousands of people have died in the imperial capital recently, and many more

There are not many tens of thousands of them here. Many people know about this matter. Many people also understand that the emperor is going to rectify it. Some nobles who were ready to make a move have now become honest.

One by one, they turned over their private armies and properties, and then became rich. Of course, their future lives would be fine. They had 20,000 gold coins for living expenses every year. Although they were not satisfied, compared to

Losing your head, this one is relatively good.

As for the nobles across the country, Li Cong also made some arrangements. The Xuanwu Legion among the eight legions did not suffer any losses, so the people of the Xuanwu Legion began to put pressure on these nobles across the country and asked them to file memorials themselves.

Li Cong punished them for their speculators and immediately killed them if they resisted. The power of the nobles must be reduced throughout the empire. Li Cong's final result was to turn these nobles into ordinary people.

is his purpose.
