Chapter 871 Aftermath (Part 2)
Yun Haoyu didn't expect that the other party would make such a request. Since Fang Yuqing was abducted by the Bojiang people, Xiao Muhan was extremely disappointed with all the inactions during his trapping, so her position as the lord of the palace will definitely not be able to be protected!
As a result, the two former queens of the Starry Empire are no longer there, and now all the affairs in the imperial palace are left to Feng Lanxi.
However, this situation cannot last too long, and the harem cannot be ruled without control. Officials in the court have begun to urge Your Majesty to consider this matter. The imperial concubines must have thoughts in their hearts without saying it!
Of course, he had an idea in his mind, but he just didn't want to disclose it too early. In addition, Fang Yuqing is still unknown at the moment, and he will not give up easily before determining the other party's whereabouts.
However, Fang Mengyan didn't know what he was thinking. Seeing that his brother was silent, she thought he was moved. She couldn't help but become more anxious and couldn't help but talk, but she stopped Yun Tianque with her eyes.
"His Highness, Your Highness," said the Speaker of the House of Nobles with a smile,
"Your proposal is very good. Logically, our Majesty has no objection, but the various customs and personalities between the two countries are too different. After the two princesses enter the palace, some things are inconvenient! So... I am afraid that it will disappoint you!"
Fang Mengyan breathed a sigh of relief. Although Yun Tianque's words were relatively tactful, everyone present understood what was going on: the Gnaslok Empire was open-minded, and women from noble families were extremely reckless and casual in dealing with gender issues. Even the imperial concubines, in addition to serving the emperor, it is common to raise three or five lovers in private, not to mention the masked dance parties often held in the upper-class circles, even the palace was no exception.
As for the Starlight Empire, which inherited the tradition of the Shufeng Empire, the atmosphere in the upper class of the empire was far from being so indulgent and corrupt, so such things were not recognized by the mainstream nobles at all! Not to mention that the women in their family became the queen of the mother's etiquette, even being an ordinary imperial concubine was far from qualified. Yun Haoyu was not so generous!
If the women of this family really let the palace and bring their atmosphere in, they would be very happy! Not to mention her brother, even she would not be able to stand it! The eldest princess thought so.
But Broganing still refused to give up and insisted:
"Your Majesty, I can understand your concerns. There are indeed some differences in the customs and habits of the two countries, so you will inevitably worry. However, the women of our families are clean and clean before getting married, and there will never be any embarrassment to the royal family. Moreover, since they have entered the palace, they naturally have to follow the rules in the imperial harem. What else do you have to worry about?"
Yun Haoyu felt a little unhappy. The duke's request was a bit too much. It was not enough to ask for a place. He also wanted to take over the positions of the two queens together, which was too ignorant!
And according to his words, there are women from other families who want to enter the palace, which is even more unacceptable to him now!
After pondering for a while, he said, "I have learned about your sincerity, but this matter is too serious. I have to make a long-term plan! I will give you a reply to Your Highness in a few days!"
Broganing agreed happily, and the two sides discussed some other issues before the talks ended.
After he left, Fang Mengyan finally couldn't help but say, "Brother, you won't really agree to that old guy, are you?"
"How is that possible?" Yun Haoyu said with a smile.
"Your brother, I don't want to be cuckolded yet. Besides, this duke has a little too much appetite. Even if I am willing, the ministers in the court will not accept it!"
Yun Tianque nodded: "Your Majesty is right. Judging from the current strength of the two countries, the effectiveness of these families can only be considered as the icing on the cake! Whether or not they actually has no fundamental impact on our unified starry sea, and at most it is to save some time!"
"So, the old minister doesn't think they have the qualifications to make such excessive demands to His Majesty! Considering the country's atmosphere, even the annual royal family's drafts in the future should not include women from this area, so as to avoid causing trouble in the future."
"Okay! If you refuse their request, you will be more troublesome!" Yun Haoyu kicked the ball to his grandfather without hesitation.
...
At the end of October of the 7942nd year of the Interstellar Calendar, the bloody cleaning that lasted for nearly a month after His Majesty escaped from the trap was finally coming to an end.
All the rebels found in the open and the noble officials who colluded with them, no matter how high the rank, how noble the status is, and how many contributions they have made to the empire, were ordered to be ruthlessly executed by Yun Haoyu, and their families were no exception.
This is an unprecedented power reshuffle since the founding of the Xinghui Empire! A large number of important figures in the military and political circles who originally occupied a high position were successively dismissed and executed one by one! Especially the officials of the Luhua Academy faction, who were originally His Majesty's direct line, were almost beaten up in one go! Only a few people such as Bernard, Jin Yue, and Yang Xue were spared!
Yun Haoyu valued the military's great purge the most! All the fleets and officers at all levels of the supernatural army that had obeyed orders and rebels of the party on all sides were found out one by one and deprived of their military posts, and then all were executed!
During this month, the number of officers at the school level and above who died was more than the total number of officers killed in the empire's years of war!
What Yun Haoyu couldn't care about the most was the betrayal of some imperial guards. These corps that were claimed to be the most loyal to the royal family, with the best equipment, combat power, and treatments. There would actually be so many officers who betrayed their principles and beliefs for their own selfishness!
Therefore, except for all officers above the squadron commander and above who were executed, the remaining low-level officers and ordinary soldiers were all downgraded to the organization of ordinary legions by Yun Haoyu, and they were consumed as cannon fodder in the next two years of war!
The scale of this bloody purge was even far greater than the time when the Starlight Empire first entered the Tianhua Star Domain. At that time, it only destroyed the three princes, plus a large number of noble forces that depended on them. But this time, the officials, nobles, and military generals who lost their heads together accounted for about half of the members of the entire imperial regime system!
Killings of this scale are extremely rare in the past thousands of years of human history. There is no other reason. There is enough prestige and control to carry out the cleaning of this scale without worrying about the rebound of officials below, which will lead to the collapse of the regime!
In theory, only the founding lord has such courage and skills! He can kill all the damn people and maintain the stability of the regime.
However, such killing was too bloody and cruel after all, so the voices of opposition from the court gradually became louder. Many people who could speak in front of Yun Haoyu began to advise the emperor, asking for the end of the bloody storm!
"Your Majesty, it's almost done!" In the imperial study, Zhou Mengde sincerely reported to Yun Haoyu:
"All the officials and nobles found in the investigation are now executed or are about to be executed! The purpose of the empire has been achieved, so it is meaningless to continue!"
Crassus echoed: "Your Majesty! At present, all the officials in the court are in panic and have no intention of political affairs. It is definitely not a blessing for the empire to survive in the long run. I beg your Majesty to stop for the sake of the political stability of the empire!"
Yun Haoyu looked at Feng Lanxi and asked, "What do you think?"
The wise man said calmly: "The Star Sea World has not been unified yet, but the remaining Gnaslok Empire and several old foreign civilizations are all severely damaged and dying! The empire can take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to sweep the troops to wipe out all enemies and insert the empire's flag into the entire Star Sea World!"
"Unified the sea of stars is Your Majesty's long-cherished wish and an urgent appeal from the civil and military officials of the court! Therefore, I think that the empire should now completely transfer its main energy to this major event!"
Yun Haoyu did not answer immediately, lowered his head and pondered for a while before continuing to ask:
"How are the preparations for the Eastern Front going on? And what progress has been made in the repair of the Death Starship? How long will it take to be put into operation?"
Yang Wentao said: "The new batch of logistics supplies have arrived safely on the front line. The two marshals Tian Xuanhao and Cameron have stabilized the situation again. At present, the morale of the Imperial** regiment has almost recovered and war can be started at any time!"
Jin Yue added: "The restoration project of the Dead Starship is a bit troublesome than expected, but it can guarantee that it will be able to take off to fight again within half a month!"
"In that case, it's time to stop?" Yun Haoyu said to himself.
Su Shangqing hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Your Majesty, stop cleaning in the imperial capital star field. This is completely feasible. After all, there are too many people who have died these days!"
"But I think that stability within the empire is the top priority! Therefore, it is necessary to re-brand the entire empire into a solid piece before you can fight to the outside world with peace of mind!"
Yun Haoyu's face stagnated and he slowly said: "Are you talking about the northwest region of the empire, former Prime Minister Zhong Mingrui split the soil and separatist and independent?"
"That's true!" Yang Wentao said,
"We must use thunder to strike when this short-term separatist force has not yet established its foothold! This will ensure that the imperial army can successfully capture the opponent before the final battle of unification begins!"
"So...who will send to command the army to complete this important task for me?" Yun Haoyu asked again.
This is not a trivial matter. If the commander is careless, he might be able to succeed again by the damn Bojiang people! As the trump card to deal with the empire in the future!!
At this time, Yun Tianque, who had been silent next to him, suddenly spoke: "I suggest that Yu Xinzhe go!"
