Next, with Mei Lingyun's support, Lu Yao explained to the courtiers what had just happened. Hearing that the emperor and all the palace concubines, princes, and princesses were basically dead, these ministers all looked at each other.

Some people who have a lot of thoughts even show their joy. This is a great opportunity to usurp the throne. However, Mei Lingyun on the side strongly shattered their careful thoughts. Mei Lingyun didn't bother to talk to them, she just casually sent out a sword trick, and a hundred-zhang high hill in the palace, as well as the pavilions and pavilions on the hill, were all blown away at once.

In the face of such a powerful military support, those smart courtiers understood that they would now obey Lu Yao.

Fortunately, they are no strangers to Lu Yao, and in the past half a year, Lu Yao has participated in government politics and has worked with them for so long. Everyone is familiar with each other, and they also cooperate very tacitly, Lu Yao has shown extraordinary ability to deal with government affairs, and it can also convince them.

The next thing is very simple, Lu Yao took Lu Yuan, followed by Mei Lingyun with a flat face, and then those trembling courtiers, the army, everyone came to the Chengming Hall where the Great Dynasty Meeting was held.

Lu Yao took Lu Yuan to sit on the dragon chair where her father had sit, and Mei Lingyun sat cross-legged next to the dragon chair as if no one was around, of course, he didn't care to sit on those mortal gold-carved chairs, he took out a jade-colored grass futon woven from his storage bag. This futon can clear the mind and calm the qi and help in spiritual practice.

Lu Yao looked at the civil and military officials below who had already stood up, and his younger brother was also sitting obediently next to him, all of them were very presentable, but there was this meditating person next to him, it was really incongruous, but there was no way.

She said to the ministers below: "I have told you what happened. Now our Yu country has suffered such a catastrophe, and my father has also been killed. However, the country cannot be without a monarch for a day, we still have to find an emperor to succeed us, so as to calm the people's hearts and deal with the government. ”

The position of the left phase was vacant, and that was the position of Lord Ling. The right minister, who had been suppressed, was very happy, and finally it was his turn to call the shots, and he hurriedly said: "Princess Qiyu, originally, the emperor should have died because the crown prince should succeed to the throne." The crown prince is both the eldest and the heir. There is no problem with succession. However, the crown prince has also been killed. In this case, one of the emperor's sons can be chosen to inherit the throne, or one of the prince's children can be chosen to inherit the throne. ”

"However, the prince's children, those imperial grandchildren were also killed. In this way, only the princes from the emperor are left. However, most of the princes born by the emperor were killed. Only the prince is left. ”

"The distant prince is smart, and he is also the younger brother of Her Royal Highness the Princess's mother, and she is deeply loved by the emperor, and the mother concubine is a concubine, and her status is second only to the queen's mother, so it is very suitable to inherit the throne."

Lu Yao shook his head and said, "My brother and I can't stay in Yu Country for a long time, we still have to go to the Shangqing faction with Shangxian." Although most of the princes born by my father were killed, you have forgotten that there is also a prince, that is, a prince who is close to the fiefdom. ”

The right minister frowned and said, "If the princess and the little prince follow the immortals, then only the prince is left." The country can't be without a king for a day, so it's better to invite the prince to come back and succeed to the throne. ”

Lu Yao nodded and said, "Okay." General, you go and send a pair of cavalrymen to deliver a letter to my brother. I'll go over the book myself in a moment. also escorted his brother to Beijing to succeed to the throne. Fortunately, my brother's fiefdom is very close to the capital, but it is only a day's distance, and it is very fast to come. ”

"Also, the right minister, the palace people and eunuchs in the palace have all been killed. The palace is in dire need of staff. You sent someone to transfer the palace maids and eunuchs from the four palaces outside the capital, the Jinhua Garden in the north, the Mulan Mountain in the enclosure, the Zhai Palace, the Temple of Heaven, and the Temple of Earth. ”

In addition, palace maids and eunuchs were selected from the people to enrich the palace, and there were also palaces and paddocks. As for the money needed, I don't have to come out of the treasury, I will come out of the palace. Don't disturb the people, one qiē is mainly voluntary. I could have more money. ”

In this era, there are many people who sell their sons and daughters, and as long as they have money, they can still buy a large number of people.

As for money, it's easy. Now that those people in the palace are dead, all the Yiqiē are under Lu Yao's control. Lu Yao believed that a casual search in the queen's palace and Concubine Chen's palace would be enough to buy tens of thousands of people.

The right minister and the general were busy receiving orders.

Lu Yao continued: "Also, the Criminal Department and the Military Department, the Ministry of Officials, this time, I believe you can hear it clearly outside the palace, it was all the Ling family who died, and got a demon to come over, this is a big crime, now, you send someone to raid the Ling family and exterminate the clan, not only to destroy the Ling family, but also to destroy the nine clans of the Ling family, and those who are in collusion with the Ling family on weekdays will be raided and exterminated." Those who dare to resist will be killed. If you can't deal with it, report it directly, and I can naturally clean it up. ”

When these three Shangshu heard it, oh my God, how many people do you have to kill? How many families have to be destroyed? Lu Yao is a princess, a girl's family, why is she so ruthless? Among the nobles of the Yu Kingdom, I am afraid that half of the people who are good friends with the Ling family must befriend? Isn't this going to kill half the people? This could not be carried out by any emperor.

After all, the Ling family is so powerful, it is easy to shake the country's foundation. However, the situation is different now, Lord Ling and Ling Xuan of the Ling family are already dead. The dragons have no leader, and it is estimated that they will not be able to resist. Even those families want to unite, and they are not the opponents of the immortals.

This princess is really smart, she will deal with the Ling family at the best time, this opportunity is really fleeting. These ministers are all shrewd people, after listening to this order, they all understood, everyone couldn't help but be surprised, and when they heard the latter sentence, they all looked at Mei Lingyun who was meditating next to Lu Yao, and thought to themselves, with this immortal here, who can't deal with it? The people associated with the Ling family and the Ling family are finished.

The three Shangshu also received the order.

Lu Yao continued: "Ministry of Works, some buildings in the palace have been damaged, and you take someone to repair them. All the money does not need to be taken from the treasury, I believe that the money copied out of the Ling family will be enough to repair the palace. The new emperor is about to succeed to the throne, you have to be careful. ”

The Ministry of Industry was busy receiving orders.

The three Shangshu who were going to copy the family listened to it, and couldn't help but praise it again in their hearts, this princess really knows how to count, and it is not a waste at all.

Lu Yao continued: "The Internal Affairs Office obeys the order, you must assist the right minister to replenish all the palace people and eunuchs, and count all the things in each palace, act quickly, give you a day, I will match the previous account books." Also, in the Queen's Palace, the things in Concubine Chen's Palace are listed separately, ready to buy people from the people into the palace to be palace maids and eunuchs. ”

The Ministry of Internal Affairs is busy receiving orders.

Lu Yao said again: "The Ministry of Rites, you have to prepare two things, one is the funeral of your father. One is the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor. ”

The Ministry of Rites also took the order.

Lu Yao is about to retreat and go back to the harem.

At this time, those ministers who were related to the Ling family were all afraid in their hearts and knelt down and pleaded with Lu Yao, some said that they had nothing to do with the Ling family, some scolded the Ling family, some shouted injustice, and some begged for mercy.

Seeing this situation, Lu Yao was not surprised, she sat down again and said, "Okay, I understand, in a while, I will draw up a list of ten families, these ten families have the closest contact with the Ling family, and they are unforgivable." For the rest, as long as you are willing to hand over your official position and your family, I am willing to let him go. ”

Everyone was silent.

Lu Yao said to the official secretary: "The official secretary, you do a good job of statistics, and count the official positions of these people, the official position is vacant first, I think my brother has manpower to be this official." ”

As soon as this was said, everyone remembered that Lu Jin was the prince of the fief, and originally, there was a civil and military team similar to ****** in the fief, that is, the officials in the court were all dead, and the prince of Lu Jin could also take the manpower to continue to manage the government of Yu State.

Therefore, the fact that the law does not hold the people accountable will not work here.

These ministers have no choice but to obediently hand over their official positions and family property, so that they can still survive.

Seeing that everything had been dealt with, Lu Yao remembered the corpses in the palace and said, "Right Xiang, the corpses in this palace must be dealt with first." The palace maid and eunuch you watch and deal with it. Those concubines who have a position, as well as those of the emperor, you have to ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to come out with the best coffin for the scenery to be buried. The Ministry of Rites is also to participate in this matter. ”

"By the way, there is also Lord Ling and Ling Xuan of the Ling family, just feed the corpses to the dogs. as a warning. Also, the queen also fed the corpse to the dogs. My father is followed by my mother, Concubine Shun, and my brother's mother, Mei Jieyu. The Ministry of Rites drew up the name of my father, and abolished Empress Ling's position as queen. In addition, I respect my mother Concubine Shun and Mei Jieyu as queens. ”

If it weren't for the sudden appearance of the demon path, I'm afraid that Lu Yao and his younger brother Lu Yuan would have been framed by Queen Ling. Now, since Lu Yao is in power, can he still be polite to Queen Ling and the Ling family? Naturally, there is going to be revenge. It's a pity that Empress Ling is already dead, otherwise, Lu Yao wouldn't mind killing her with his own hands.

All the ministers were commanded.

Lu Yao took Lu Yuan and walked towards the harem.

Mei Lingyun didn't follow, she was still meditating with her eyes closed.

Lu Yao respectfully said to Mei Lingyun: "Immortal, I have already taken care of things, I want to go back to the harem to rest, is the immortal going to the harem to find a quiet place to rest?" ”

As soon as he said this, everyone looked at Mei Lingyun.

Who knows, Mei Lingyun's eyes didn't open, and he said in an extremely nice and cold voice: "It's very good here, I'll cultivate here." Go and do your own business. Call me if there's something, don't bother me if there's nothing. ”

Everyone didn't dare to disturb, they all dispersed, and Mei Lingyun was left in the entire hall.

Lu Yao frowned, but he didn't understand why Mei Lingyun wanted to meditate here, but since he was willing, he could only do so.

Lu Yao took his younger brother and left.
