now,
The ministers were all displaying their full power. They never expected that Liu Anran intended to kill them all. If that were the case, how could they obediently surrender? They would try to escape if they could, and if they couldn't escape, they would fight to the death. In the end, they were going to die anyway, and they would not let Liu Anran have an easy time before they died.
"You want to attack me? That's quite surprising. A bunch of cowards, trying to fight like cornered beasts?!" Liu Anran's indifferent and contemptuous voice rang out.
After saying that,
One of the ministers shouted, "If you slaughter us all, the court will be left without anyone, the Great Yu will be in turmoil, and it will surely perish!"
"Indeed, if we are killed, everyone will live in fear, and the Great Yu will be plunged into chaos. The efforts of generations of rulers of the Great Yu will be reduced to ashes!"
"..."
Hearing this voice, Liu Anran's lips curled into a disdainful smile.
"It's truly a burden for you all, still thinking about the Great Yu Dynasty even now. Rest assured, when you die, others will take your place. There's never a shortage of people in this world who want to be officials. You've overestimated your importance!"
As the sound faded,
Liu Anran was clearly too lazy to waste words with these people. With a terrifying pressure, the ministers knelt down. Their desperate struggle, which they had joined forces to fight, was now a complete joke.
"Have a safe journey!"
Before the words had even finished, the assembled officials vanished without a trace.
All treacherous officials have been eliminated.
Liu Anran felt more relaxed than ever before, and then instructed Zhou Zhen and the others to clean up the mess.
As for the vacant positions, Liu Anran had made arrangements, and within a day, the central government resumed normal operations.
Qin Wuwu and Shangguan Hong's cronies were all executed. This major case implicated hundreds of thousands of people, and too many corrupt officials were killed. This was an unprecedented good thing for the people, and the people cheered. Emperor Liu Anran had finally established prestige in his empire.
certainly,
Even with such a large-scale crackdown, corrupt officials cannot be eradicated. Throughout history, corrupt officials have been as numerous as the sands of the Yellow River, while honest officials have been as rare as phoenix feathers.
In the past, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty was extremely ruthless towards corrupt officials, but in his later years, he still lamented that corrupt officials in the world could not be eradicated!
Treatment in the morning is followed by relapse by evening, and treatment in the evening is followed by the same relapse by morning. Before the corpse is moved, people continue to follow, and the more severe the treatment, the more frequent the relapses.
There's really nothing we can do about it; it's human nature. "A clean prefect for three years can amass a fortune of 100,000 taels of silver!"
...
In a flash,
Three days later
With the Great Yu court stabilized, imperial power became more centralized than ever before. Apart from the Great Yu Emperor Taizu, no previous Great Yu emperor had centralized imperial power to such a high degree.
On this day,
Liu Anran left a clone in the palace before heading to the Wuwang Immortal Sect.
The Great Yu Dynasty is tens of thousands of miles away from the Wuwang Immortal Sect. With Liu Anran's current cultivation level, tens of thousands of miles is nothing more than a moment's distance.
When Liu Anran stood at the foot of Wuwang Immortal Gate Mountain and looked out over Wuwang Immortal Gate, it was truly a place of immortal grandeur, a land of abundant spiritual energy, with towering mountains and rare herbs and flowers everywhere.
"Halt!"
The disciples guarding the Wuwang Immortal Sect stopped Liu Anran.
at this time,
Liu Anran's indifferent voice rang out, "Go and announce that the Emperor of Great Yu has come to visit! He wants to see your sect leader!"
The Great Yu?!
The gatekeeper disciples were clearly pondering, obviously having never heard of this name. There were countless dynasties in the world, and the Great Yu Dynasty was merely a small dynasty with no great reputation, so they naturally had never heard of it.
"What Great Yu? Never heard of it. If you have no introduction, then leave. The Wuwang Immortal Sect is not a place anyone can just walk into! And the sect master is not someone someone like you can meet!" the mountain-guarding disciple shouted.

Upon hearing this,
Liu Anran was not surprised. Her indifferent voice rang out, "Just go and report. Whether you see them or not is not your decision!"
"snort!"
“What you’re saying isn’t quite right. Whether or not you can see our sect leader is truly up to us. You’re quite attractive; if you keep our brothers company, we might be able to inform them,” said one of the mountain-guarding disciples.
At this moment, another disciple guarding the mountain echoed these words, his expression quite lewd.
now,
Liu Anran's expression was extremely gloomy. "Is this the true face of the Boundless Immortal Sect?! You all deserve to be executed for humiliating me like this!"
Upon hearing this,
The disciples guarding the mountain laughed uncontrollably, their eyes filled with mockery and ridicule as they looked at Liu Anran.
"Are you out of your mind? Do you even know where you are? This is the Boundless Immortal Sect. Kill us? Do you dare?"
No sooner had he said that...
Before the other disciples guarding the mountain could utter any sarcastic remarks, Liu Anran's figure flashed, causing a spatial ripple, and the next second she was already behind them.
However, the figures of the disciples guarding the mountain gradually disappeared, filling them with horror.
how……!
she……!
She actually dared to make a move! How could she dare?! This is the Wuwang Immortal Sect!
Even the inner disciples of many top-tier immortal sects would have to smile obsequiously and treat them with utmost respect. How dare she do this!
At this time,
Liu Anran had already reached the summit and was outside the main hall of the Wuwang Immortal Sect.
At this moment,
A group of disciples from the Wuwang Immortal Sect all stared at Liu Anran, their eyes clearly filled with confusion.
"I, the Emperor of Great Yu, do not welcome guests, the Master of the Wuwang Immortal Sect?!" Liu Anran's voice rang out.
The members of the Wuwang Immortal Sect: ? ? ?
What's going on?! Where did this madman come from? Da Yu? What a tiny country, I've never even heard of it. What are the gatekeepers doing? How could they let such a madman in?
