"This is fucking possible?"
Lin Rusong looked at his son speechlessly. This was too damn hasty! Everyone else had one empress, why did this kid have two?
He said irritably, " Yi'er, Princess Shenle is Li Anlan's daughter. Is she really reliable?"
It would be embarrassing if they were to reverse course and restore the regime.
A hint of a smile flashed in Lin Yi's eyes as he said softly, "Father, rest assured, Shenle's son is also my son. He has nothing to do with the Li Imperial Clan, and he will never bear the surname Li!"
As long as the Great Liang army exists, the Li Imperial Clan will never be able to rise again.
Besides, since Shenle personally severed ties with the Li Imperial Clan, there's no need for the Li Imperial Clan to exist anymore. What's wrong with giving her a chance? This is something Lin Yi promised her.
It's just a fair chance, something I can afford to give myself.
As for what happens generations or even decades later, all I can say is good luck; we can't control that far ahead.
Lin Rusong nodded slightly. Since his son had made a decision, he naturally couldn't say anything more.
Now he spends his days playing chess and reading books with Wang Ziwen, and all he wants is a grandson to hold. He has no other desires in life.
Looking at his son, who now exudes a commanding presence and an aura of authority, he couldn't help but sigh with admiration.
It's unbelievable that his own son would attack the Frostwest Empire and even go further west.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but exclaim, " Yi'er, your father's greatest achievement in this life is giving birth to you with your mother. The future is unimaginable!"
The emperor is just the beginning!
Is the future the era of the Great Emperor?
Heavenly Emperor?
He was really looking forward to it!
At this moment, he thought of something and asked curiously, "By the way, I heard that Shangguan Yan killed 100,000 people from aristocratic families in one go. Is that true?"
"Absolutely true!"
Lin Yi nodded and smiled, "Besides trying to curry favor with me, she probably killed these members of powerful families to nip it in the bud. Otherwise, given Li Anlan's influence in the capital, her family and the Li Imperial Clan would likely not have fared well!"
"That woman is really ruthless. It's a good thing for you, kid, that you're free from the constraints of the powerful families!" Lin Rusong was both amused and exasperated. This couple had wiped out most of the powerful families' foundations, and his son had reaped the benefits.
hey-hey!
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh and said, "No powerful families can stop me, Lin Yi. I was able to annihilate Li Anlan without ever relying on any powerful families. On the contrary, they now revere me like a god!"
What kind of noble family is this? They can't cause any trouble in Great Liang. If they don't obey, they'll only face death.
You little brat!
Lin Rusong was speechless. If he had an army of over a million, he wouldn't be afraid of powerful families either. His son was just too strong.
Lin Yi glanced behind him and smiled, "Father, apart from my uncle who I gave the position of Grand Tutor, I have appointed the rest of the people from Northern Liang as governors, responsible for guarding a certain area."
The territory of Great Liang is so vast that even Lin Yi finds it outrageous, so the shortage of mid-level officials is unimaginable.
These territories naturally cannot use Li Anlan's previous people, so they all need to be replaced with his own people, which would be more reliable.
"That's fine too. After all, they are people who have done great things for my Lin Clan. If we mistreat them, we would feel somewhat guilty," Lin Rusong said with a smile.
kindness!
Lin Yi nodded slightly; in fact, this made management easier.
With the establishment of the Great Liang, Lin Yi will actually face the same problem Li Anlan.
Despite having an army of over a million, the actual number of troops that could be mobilized was relatively small given the vast territory. Therefore, he adopted the system of the Governor-General's Office.
Such a system allows a single governor's office to garrison the territories of surrounding counties, in conjunction with local City Guard Battalion, which is sufficient to maintain order and be ready to fight at any time.
This would free up a large number of troops, which could be transported to the Western Regions in the future. At the same time, maritime exploration would become even more frantic, since the surrounding area was their own territory, and they could act with complete impunity.
Yipinju Restaurant in Beijing.
At this moment, this place has become a gathering place for the northern aristocratic families. After Lin Yi seized the All Under Heaven, the northern aristocratic families moved here without hesitation, without caring about the face of the southern aristocratic families at all.
The leaders were none other than the Zhang Ruoyun.
The two were full of high spirits!
This gamble paid off handsomely; the Prince of Xiliang seized the throne, and naturally, everyone in their family and friends benefited.
Looking at the hall full of guests from the north, Zhang Ruohai couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, "Hahaha, everyone, we have truly won this time! Now that the Prince of Xiliang the Great Liang Dynasty, we are all credited with it!"
"Tsk tsk, who would have thought the Prince of Xiliang would be so powerful? Great Ning is utterly helpless in his hands!" Song Yuming, the head of the Song Clan family, couldn't help but exclaim.
At first, he was just fishing with Lin Yi, but later he completely pledged allegiance to the Prince of Xiliang, and this time he definitely made a killing.
"Haha, the Prince of Xiliang is mighty!"
"You're wrong, it's now Long Live the Emperor!"
"I've heard that the Emperor will soon open up maritime trade routes; becoming incredibly wealthy will be no dream!"
Everyone was overjoyed, their mouths brimming with sweet satisfaction. They were the victors and would share the spoils of victory.
Even though there aren't many, they're sweet enough.
Now that the Southern aristocratic families have suffered a major blow, this is an opportunity for the Northern aristocratic families.
Upon hearing their words, Ouyang Xun shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Gentlemen, I think we should not be too flamboyant, and we should not attempt to involve the Southern aristocratic families."
The current emperor is not like Li Anlan; powerful families are not that important to him!
Look at the governance and development of Xiliang. Although the aristocratic families played a certain role, in reality, it was all the power of the Prince of Xiliang himself.
If we don't learn our lesson, our days are numbered!
Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts skipped a beat; there was indeed a lot of truth to it.
If the emperor were to perceive these people as insatiably greedy, he would likely purge the aristocratic families.
At this moment, an insider said quietly, "You probably don't know this, but Shangguan Yan slaughtered over 100,000 members of powerful families in the south, turning the entire Jiangling Commandery into a river of blood!"
Holy crap!
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines. This was too ruthless! If the emperor were to do something like this, their side would likely suffer heavy casualties.
Grunt!
Zhang Ruoyun, his voice dry, "This matter cannot be rushed. The Emperor now commands an army of 1.5 million. We absolutely cannot treat him like we treated Li Anlan, or people will die."
"That makes sense. The Emperor is preparing for his coronation ceremony, so we can lend him a hand and curry favor with him. We can test the waters later." Ouyang Xun pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice.
