Chapter 21: The Iron Empress

On the first day of the new emperor's ascension to the throne, everyone was shocked.

All the cabinet ministers who had presided over the affairs of the empire for 100 years were arrested. and set up independent prosecutors and judges to hear the case.

This incident caused a sensation throughout the empire and the whole world. Most cultivators didn't know what exactly Ying Zhen was going to do, and why was he doing it?

On the forum, whether they care about politics or not, they are talking about it like crazy. The nobles who have been in power for a long time have long learned to control and guide public opinion.

"What is the Cabinet to Do in the Trial?", "The First Empress of Ten Thousand Years?", "What Mistakes Did the Cabinet That Assisted the Emperor Solve for a Hundred Years?", "Once a Son of Heaven and a Courtier!", "The Tragedy of the Country!", "Political Purge, the Beginning of ......"

Most of the questioning posts are well-argued, well-argued, and sharp. The people who blindly obey naturally tilt their emotions towards the side of the cabinet ministers. Feelings of unease, confusion, dissatisfaction, and even anger spread among the people.

For individuals, it is an instinctive blind obedience. For example, if a woman yells at a man on the street, 99% of people will instinctively think that the woman is justified and the man is unreasonable. This is called preconceivence.

In fact, it may have been the woman who stole the man's wallet and was caught biting back.

It's a simple, but highly effective solution.

Another example is that if a small stall sells something, as long as a few people praise it, it will attract many people to buy it. Moreover, people will accumulate more and more. If you don't want to buy it, you will follow it.

Individual, because it has to live in a group. Therefore, in the individual instinct, there is the heart of conformity. This has led to the phenomenon of individuals being prone to blindly subservient to the group.

Guiding public opinion on the Skynet, causing the people's suspicion and dissatisfaction, and causing strong public opinion pressure, is also a trick that the top leaders of the empire are good at. There are many people on Skynet who are clamoring for the empire to govern the country according to law, not people.

Just because the emperor likes and dislikes, he will be convicted at will, and this kind of politics is a retrogression. From democracy and the rule of law, to regression to primitive dictatorship. For the Empire, for hundreds of millions of cultivators, this is an incomparably huge mistake.

New emperor, new atmosphere.

Ying Zhen made a move, and it was not surprising. But the removal of an entire cabinet member in one fell swoop is a truly earth-shattering move. Behind each cabinet minister, there is a family or even several families.

For the aristocracy, Yingzhen is doing the opposite.

"Is Ying Zhen going against all the nobles by doing this? She's crazy!" the head of the Imperial Senate was furious at home, completely unable to understand Ying Zhen's behavior.

The Imperial Senate, with similar functions as the Parliament, is not qualified to overturn the decisions of His Majesty the Emperor. However, in terms of political influence, it is very important, and it is an important force in the guardianship of the country. As the president of the Senate, Zhou Tong really couldn't accept such a crazy move by Ying Zhen.

The head of the Imperial Special Intelligence Department beside him also had a wry smile on his face. Ying Zhen's sudden ascension to the throne is not a good thing for him. I still remember that when Ying Zhen was under him, he was always in a half-empty state. Now that he has won the power, he will be unlucky.

"What's going on in the palace now?" Zhou Tong asked with a squint. Zhou Tong, who has white hair and bald head, has kind eyebrows and kind eyes, but in his squinted eyes, his eyes are as cold as a knife. The old guy who has lived for hundreds of years has never lacked determination.

The director of intelligence looked embarrassed, "The palace is full of cronies brought by Yingzhen. This group of people has an extremely high level of cultivation, a very large number of people, is well-organized, and their subordinates are very ruthless. There was no news in the palace. If I'm not mistaken, Yingzhen has already begun to clean. ”

Zhou Tong Shen said: "It is impossible for the group of people under Yingzhen to come out of the ground, have you found their identities?"

The chief of intelligence nodded: "Eight months ago, the emperor transferred more than 10,000 elites in the whole army. Then this group of people disappeared with Yingzhen. Although there is a big gap in cultivation, it is certain that it is the current group of people. ”

After a pause, he said, "Judging from the clues exposed by this team, it can be inferred that it is another special kind of biochemical war god armor. The increased power is even more powerful. In terms of Gao Ge's ability, this is a very reasonable explanation. ”

Zhou Tong's sparse white eyebrows furrowed, "Gao Ge, he should be injured, right?" Speaking of Gao Ge, Zhou Tong couldn't help lowering his voice. In Zhou Tong's opinion, the group of guards under Ying Zhen can still be controlled, but the terrible thing is Gao Ge, and there is no way to control it. If you can control Gao Ge, the problem will be solved.

It's just that Yingzhen is alone, isolated and has no chance. Although the crowd was limited to vowing not to kill her, it was not difficult to control her and implement a constitutional monarchy like a foreign country.

The winner has ruled the empire for too long, and perhaps, it's time for a replacement. For the top nobility, this is a good opportunity to share power.

But the first hurdle in this matter is singing. Thinking of the majesty of Gao Ge's sword sweeping through the millions of coalition troops, it was really a force that made them feel desperate.

However, if Yingzhen can regain power, he must pass the Shenxiu level. Even if Gao Ge can win the victory, it is not easy for Mahayana powerhouses such as Shenxiu to be successful. It is reasonable to speculate that Gao Ge is immortal and should have been seriously injured. Perhaps, now is the best time to get your hands dirty.

Thinking of this, Zhou Tong couldn't help but be moved. Always having to obey the emperor's orders, he also felt tired. This is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity.

The director of intelligence looked embarrassed and said, "There is no news of Gao Ge. Afang Palace has been blocked. We don't get any news from us. ”

Zhou Tong was a little disappointed, but this matter was too important, and he couldn't make a decision alone, he had to discuss it with others. In the turbulent times, if you hold on to the shortcomings, you will miss the opportunity.

Ying Zhen's young age made Zhou Tong see an opportunity to take advantage of. A golden pill, even if it has an artifact of Afang Palace, is not impossible to deal with.

The picture of the intelligence director and Zhou Tong's secret discussion is being displayed in front of Ying Zhen and Gao Ge through the water mirror. In front of them, among the hundreds of water mirrors, there were several people discussing secretly, and the topics they talked about were all Ying Zhen and Gao Ge.

This is not Gao Ge's ability, but Ying Zhen's magical power. After being promoted to the gods, Ying Zhen has been able to give full play to the power of Afang Palace. After the battle with Concubine Hui, it strengthened Ying Zhen's confidence and gave Ying Zhen a new understanding of strength.

Monitoring the imperial capital, it is like looking at the pattern in the palm of the hand, and it is extremely easy. What kind of magic circle protection, under the power of the Afang Palace artifact, is a joke. The poor nobles, who have spent 10,000 years, do not know the true power of Afang Palace.

Due to the disappearance of the Mahayana powerhouse, no one in the current empire can discover the mystery of Afang Palace.

Ying Zhen sighed lightly, "I really don't know what this group of people are thinking in their heads!"

Gao Ge smiled slightly: "This is a good opportunity. Let them conspire, give them a chance. Gao Ge's smile was very gentle, and there was no trace of murder in his body, but what he said made Ying Zhen feel cold.

Ying Zhen said worriedly: "In that case, I will kill too many people." Moreover, the people also have great emotions, and they are only afraid of ......"

Gao Ge looked at Ying Zhen's eyes, and Ying Zhen's sharp and incomparable gaze made Ying Zhen a little unbearable, and lowered his eyes slightly. Gao Ge Zhengse said: "Zhenzhen, you are now an emperor, you have to make a decision." The aristocracy is already a cancer of the empire, they occupy most of the resources of the empire, but they hardly do anything. Hundreds of millions of people have to work hard, and they only get a pitiful bit. The contradictions of resources, the contradictions of classes, can drag on for a hundred or two hundred years, but in the end, they will erupt.

Even if you can settle the conflict, you don't know how much it will cost. Now, it's all starting anew. There is no entanglement in your body. We have enough strength to eradicate the cancer.

The resources occupied by the aristocracy were nationalized. and then the row is assigned. Whether it's for war or to pacify the Thunder Army, we have to do it. ”

Singing the revolutionary will, extremely resolute. He did not simply hate the aristocracy, but proceeded from the needs of the whole country. Indeed, his methods cause social agitation. But as vested interests, no one is willing to give up their interests. Although he has a peerless sword, he can't learn from the unknown.

Give these nobles a chance, let them rebel, and then eradicate them in one fell swoop. The loss of a few hundred yuan babies is not a problem for the current empire. But in this way, it solves the malaise and cancer accumulated by the empire for thousands of years, which is very suitable.

Ying Zhen is still worried, "The situation in the empire will be moved by this, and the people will be easily instigated." We still lack control, and the change should not be carried out slowly?"

Gao Ge laughed, "The Zerg is coming, and the warmth is not suitable for us." From this moment on, the empire will be under military control and enter a state of war. The people will always obey blindly. A powerful force that can reverse the will of all people. As the empress, you have no foundation, no political power, and iron-blooded means to deter both inside and outside in one fell swoop. Believe me, with the Thunder Army and me, any resistance is not worth mentioning. ”

Ying Zhen thought for a long time before he made up his mind: "Okay, let's have an earth-shattering revolution." ”

Gao Ge shook Ying Zhen's hand vigorously and said, "Your Majesty, you have made an extremely wise decision. Trust me, history will always record you. There may be controversy, but just like your ancestors, your greatness will be unquestionable!"

Ying Zhen sighed, "I don't really like names like the Iron Empress!"

Gao Ge persuaded: "How prestigious, how domineering." No, let's make a suitable one ourselves, and then secretly promote it......"

The empress who has just ascended the throne, the first target is the cabinet, and the action can be called vigorous and resolute. Within three days, the prime minister was convicted of treason, sentenced to death, and confiscated all family property.

The prime minister was immediately executed, and his family property was confiscated by Yingzhen's guards.

The outcome of this trial shocked the whole world.
