To their utter surprise, the empress was completely unmoved by their protest.
And they openly confiscated all their belongings.
They then deported these people.
They can never enter Fengtian Kingdom.
They were completely dazed when they were sent away.
All they wanted was to fight for their rights, so why were they driven away?
Some of those who were driven away thought, "If this place doesn't want me, there are plenty of other places that will."
Since he can do so well here, he can naturally do so well elsewhere as well.
However, what was unexpected was that those who were driven out of Fengtian Kingdom had no place to establish themselves in Shuntian Kingdom either.
The Marquis of Zhenbei directly banished these people to the war-torn areas!
When he finally died, there wasn't even a body left!
Lin Ru already knew when she made these decisions that if she wanted to reform and change, there would inevitably be bloodshed and sacrifice.
It's like having a malignant tumor on your body. If you let it grow, it will drag you down completely. But if you painfully remove the tumor, your life will get better and better.
She's now moving in a better and better direction!
Whether it's those scholars spouting nonsense, those businessmen, or some officials, as long as they dare to incite public sentiment and obstruct change!
Death awaits these people.
Lin Ru's decisive and efficient actions brought some benefits, but also some drawbacks.
Some people admired her actions!
Although some people protested her actions!
They believed that she didn't listen to her subordinates and was no different from those tyrants.
Lin Ru had anticipated that these people would have strong opinions about the rise of women, but she hadn't expected such widespread discontent.
Even those around her felt that her actions were somewhat impractical.
Lin Ru simply smiled slightly.
This is only the first step in the reform.
Once the situation stabilizes further, the second step of the reform will be carried out.
Why can men serve as officials in the imperial court while women cannot? They are both human beings, so why can men serve as officials in the imperial court but women cannot?
This presents many limitations.
Selecting talent from a thousand people is completely different from selecting talent from three thousand people.
So what she needs to do next is to allow her to select talent from among three thousand people.
After this news was released, many people thought that their Queen had gone mad.
A woman should not be made empress, otherwise some unrealistic ideas will arise.
After all, in their eyes, a woman should stay at home, be a dutiful wife and mother, and believe that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent. They also believed that women should not show their faces in public, and that the involvement of women would only make things more unfortunate and difficult.
These labels attached to women are deeply ingrained in their minds, having existed for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, and cannot be changed overnight.
But now someone comes along and breaks all of that.
Just as some people were having second thoughts, a loud bang shattered all their concentration.
Lin Ru looked at the huge pit in front of her, her eyes filled with joy.
She was aware of all the little things those people had been doing behind the scenes, but she simply ignored them.
All I want to do is get this thing out.
So she always remembered a saying: dignity lies only on the edge of a sword, and truth lies only within the range of a cannon.
And most importantly, after she leaves, the spirit cannon and the like will also leave with her!
But this cannon is different; all its parts are made from things that exist in this world.
Moreover, she also fed those craftsmen loyalty pills to prevent the pills from becoming completely ineffective after she left, thus keeping their families firmly under her control.
This will save you a lot of trouble!
Wu Ling quietly looked at the radiant Lin Ru in front of him!
The love in his eyes was almost overflowing.
This is his Majesty! His all-powerful Majesty!
A dazzling Majesty! A Majesty who is stubborn on the outside but soft on the inside!
Your Majesty, full of vigor and ambition, Your Majesty, sweeping across the world!
Lin Ru then personally lit another cannon.
Watching the cannon fire towards the designated location.
I truly feel that all my hard work over this long period of time has not been in vain.
"Good! Very good!"
"Everyone!"
"Everyone involved in this will have their pay doubled! A hundredfold!"
"And the matchmaker, Old Zhang, and the others, they'll also receive a reward of a thousand taels of gold! It'll come from my personal treasury!"
Those present immediately raised their arms and cheered.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!"
Lin Ru quietly savored the joy that success brought her at this moment.
He habitually looked for that tall figure in the crowd, and when he found it, he saw a pair of smiling eyes.
After calming everyone down, Lin Ru quickly walked up to him and took his hand.
The two strolled along in the sunset.
Although I didn't say anything, I felt incredibly happy.
Wu Juan and Wu Fei rushed back after finishing their business with Manager Liu, and were happy to see the scene before them!
After they returned, Wu Juan explained in detail what she had found out.
It turns out that Commander Qi Fang was indeed not very aware of this matter, but he helped them indirectly more than once.
However, it was mainly Qi Fang's adopted son who set a trap for Qi Fang.
Whenever his subordinates caused trouble, his adopted son would use various pretexts to punish Qi Fang!
Although he did not personally appear, the other party received a message from Commandant Qi, and the matter was eventually dropped.
So, over time, everyone came to know that Manager Liu's backer was Commandant Qi!
After all, everyone knows that Qi Fang is Her Majesty the Empress's confidant.
“We explained this matter to Commander Qi in the past, which infuriated him! Afterwards, we conducted a thorough investigation and confirmed that this matter was indeed unrelated to him.”
"To ensure the accuracy of the information, we even asked Quan Jinyu for help!"
"And that so-called adopted son was also brought back!"
"He's currently imprisoned in the dungeon. Would Your Majesty like to go see him?"
Lin Ru shook her head.
"In that case, let's find a suitable opportunity to behead this person and display his head to the public."
Wu Juan nodded, found a suitable opportunity, exposed all of that person's crimes, and then beheaded him as a warning to the public. After this incident, it successfully deterred those with ulterior motives.
Lin Ru didn't pay any attention to these people's thoughts at all, because she was going to start what she was doing next!
The Holy Kingdom has a unique belief system from top to bottom. Whether they are ordinary people or members of the royal family, when it comes to inheriting family property and the throne, they will choose to kill each other.
