Chapter 602 The Great Reshuffling of the Heaven Dou Empire
Such outstanding talent made the officials who came to participate feel that the Tiandou Empire had a worthy successor. As for Xue Qinghe's dislike of entering the harem, they could choose to turn a blind eye!
However, the ministers still recommended Xue Qinghe, hoping that he could take more concubines and try to leave more bloodlines for the Tian Dou royal family!
The reason is quite simple: they are worried that the eldest prince, Xue Wuhen, has devoted all his talents to cultivation and knows nothing about governing a country!
Xue Qinghe understood the ministers' concerns, but despite his understanding, he was still very unhappy!
Of course, Xue Qinghe also understood the consequences of having too few children in name. Therefore, shortly after the ministers advised him, Xue Qinghe selected six good-looking women from among Miguel's followers to take into his harem!
The nobles were extremely dissatisfied with Xue Qinghe's refusal to accept noble daughters into the palace. However, despite their dissatisfaction, they dared not do anything, for they did not want to anger His Majesty in the morning and have their father-in-law, Dugu Bo, send them to meet the King of Hell in the evening!
During the years that Xue Qinghe was in power, he had been constantly purging the spies sent by various parties. However, he was also aware that if he purged them too thoroughly, it might provoke resistance from various forces.
As the saying goes, "where there's a policy, there's a countermeasure." In order to ensure that all the palace maids and eunuchs serving in the palace were trustworthy, all the important positions were filled by Miguel's devoted and fanatical followers, while the less important positions were filled by Miguel's true followers.
The remaining 0.1% were spies sent in by various forces, so Miguel chose to convert them all to ensure that the messages sent out from the palace were what Xue Qinghe wanted to convey!
It is precisely because the Tian Dou Imperial Palace has now completely become Xue Qinghe's back garden that Xue Qinghe allowed the six newly selected concubines to "get pregnant and give birth" in the palace!
After Xue Qinghe had seven sons, the ministers had no reason to stop him from devoting himself to his work. After all, seven sons, though not many, were enough!
...
In the first year after Xue Qinghe took the throne, he cleaned up the Tiandou Imperial Palace and there were no outsiders left.
In the second year of his reign, Xue Qinghe began to deal with all the nobles and officials of the Tiandou Empire!
After twelve years, Xue Qinghe finally sorted out all the nobles and officials of the Heavenly Dou Empire, except for its vassal kingdoms!
Originally, Miguel thought that the Heavenly Dou Empire had good officials and nobles who were dedicated to serving the people, but who would have thought that all crows are black, especially in a world with extraordinary power, it was impossible to find a single good official or noble!
Fortunately, Miguel had prepared himself mentally beforehand, otherwise he would have been driven mad by the nobles and officials of the Heavenly Dou Empire!
Originally, Miguel intended to have his followers fill the vacancies in the Heavenly Dou Empire. However, the decline of the Heavenly Dou Empire was astonishing. Left with no other choice, he could only directly judge and execute those with serious sins, and convert those with less serious sins.
Even though Miguel took a step back, his followers almost couldn't fill the void left by the judges. After all, Miguel had only been established for a short time, and even if he were to train officials, the time would be incredibly limited!
Fortunately, they managed to patch up the gap in the number of officials by piecing together the best available ones; otherwise, MiG would have been in a real bind, wondering where to find a replacement!
After Xue Qinghe brought all the territories of the Heaven Dou Empire under his control, except for the vassal kingdoms, Miguel began to send specially trained missionaries to the grassroots level in the name of the Spirit Hall to cultivate believers in the countryside!
At the same time, in addition to cultivating believers, these missionaries also had to undertake the mission of discovering talents in order to prepare for the future elimination of the vassal kingdoms of the Heavenly Dou Empire!
At the age of thirty-six, Miguel had not yet accumulated enough talent, so his plan to gradually take control of the vassal kingdoms had not yet been implemented. However, some preparatory work had already begun.
