"Quan Jinyu! Don't be like this. You're a real man. It's just because I said a few words to you."
"There's no need to cry like this. Actually, you're very capable. You're the smartest person I've ever met."
Qian Duoduo said a lot of encouraging words, which helped him regain his confidence.
He went to apologize to Lin Ru on his own initiative!
When Lin Ru saw him, she went straight to the point and said, "Tell your men that if they don't want to continue fighting, they can step down."
"I'm willing to give them a fee."
"But if they still want to continue the war, then put away that unnecessary sympathy."
"You must know that the most taboo thing on the battlefield is compassion."
"I've never seen them be particularly tolerant or kind to their own people!"
"Now they're eager to be lenient towards people from enemy countries!"
"If you feel that the decision to eradicate the root of the problem is too cruel, then don't stay in Fengtian Kingdom."
“Deport those who said those things directly.”
"Send it to the Holy Kingdom!"
"Look how they treat you kind people!"
Quan Jinyu knew that His Majesty was not only talking to the soldiers, but also to him.
He immediately made several assurances.
I will definitely not be overly compassionate!
He then immediately relayed His Majesty's words and dealt with some people swiftly and decisively.
Since then, such a thing has never happened again.
Even the female lead, who returned later, was constantly reminded of this incident...
Time flies, and years pass by in a flash!
In the fourth year that Lin Ru spent in this small world in the book, which was when she was seventeen years old, she successfully annexed the Holy Kingdom and five small countries next to it that wanted to take advantage of the chaos!
Fengtian Kingdom has become the undisputed hegemon of the world! It has the largest territory and the most troops!
Lin Ru has become the number one person in the world, unprecedented and unparalleled!
Inside the palace!
Lin Ru leaned back lazily on the dragon throne!
She could hear the people below arguing fiercely about her coronation ceremony.
Minister of Revenue Qian Duoduo: "Such a grand occasion! A new Ascension Platform should be built! So that all people may admire it! So that people from all directions may pay homage to it!"
"We're so stingy, why do we have to hold it in the palace!"
"Who are they looking down on?"
"Don't tell me you're afraid of increasing taxes and making people suffer. When did I say I wanted to increase taxes?"
"Am I the Minister of Revenue, or are you the Minister of Revenue?"
"I'll keep this money myself."
Looking at Duoduo's appearance, Lin Ru inexplicably recalled the time a few days ago when her subordinates asked her for money. She spread her hands and said helplessly that she had no money at all, not a single penny, and was so poor she was about to die.
Now he's so extravagant.
This infuriated the officials who had asked her for money a few days ago.
Minister of Works Duan Hongling nodded, "Count me in! My men are already eager to try, and we will definitely build the tallest platform in the world."
"Let all the people of the world witness His Majesty's heroic bearing!"
After the matchmaker finished speaking, his men nodded in agreement.
Lin Ru remembered that when Duan Hongling was first put in this position, the people below were really displeased, thinking that how could a woman be the Minister of Works! But now she's completely under their thumb.
Minister of Rites Quan Jinyu said helplessly, "I didn't say I objected to you visiting the Heavenly Terrace."
"But I think this kind of grand occasion shouldn't just be seen by ordinary people. We should invite neighboring countries! Let them see the majestic figure of Empress Fengtian! Let them see the strength of Fengtian! So that they will be intimidated and some people will never dare to be our enemies again!"
Lin Ru felt that what Quan Jinyu said was similar to a grand military parade.
To demonstrate its military strength.
It will make the small neighboring countries wary!
This can save you a lot of trouble!
That's pretty good!
Minister of Personnel Ji Wenxuan echoed, "I also think we can take this opportunity to intimidate the other countries."
"Make them all submit to me, Fengtian, and to Her Majesty the Empress!"
"Moreover, I don't think just building a platform to ascend to heaven is enough. We should set aside a special place as a place for annual sacrifices to heaven! This place must be large, and I think it's appropriate to set off some fireworks and firecrackers."
"Although these things have great military value, the ascension of a first emperor like His Majesty is something that will be unforgettable for everyone."
Lin Ru really wanted to say that this was just a formality, and there was no need for such extravagance. The official position had already been granted, and she was already on the dragon throne! There was no point in doing so many fancy things.
But the people below her simply wouldn't listen to her.
Normally, they would listen to whatever you said and never argue back.
But now that it's time for the coronation ceremony, it's something that won't stop at all.
Lin Ru turned her gaze to Wu Ling, the Minister of War!
I hope he will stand on my side!
To my surprise, he nodded seriously!
"Fellow generals! You should be focusing on training your troops these next few days. We'll take the soldiers out for a spin later."
"This is not only to deter those small countries, but also to protect His Majesty's safety."
"In case there are any people among those who come with ill intentions."
"The guards must also be extra vigilant to prevent the remnants of the defeated nation from causing trouble."
Qi Fang, the Minister of Justice, also wanted to make a good impression, but given his position, he couldn't just drag the prisoners out of jail for a stroll.
He regretted it for the 100th time: why did he agree to the emperor's request to serve as the Minister of Justice in such a muddled way?
Why didn't you just honestly serve as a captain?
However, he is now old, and His Majesty actually values his adopted son Bian Du more!
But Bian Du is just too young! So this is kind of a transitional measure for him!
At this moment, Lin Ru missed her maternal grandfather and the others even more! If they were in the imperial court, perhaps they would stand on her side!
However, after the Bai family members were granted titles, they tried their best to minimize their presence.
They don't participate in discussions about many things!
They were afraid that someone would think that the Bai family was plotting to usurp the throne!
Although Lin Bai, Lin Mo, and Lin Qing were granted the title of prince, they did not leave the palace to establish their own residences. Instead, they remained in the palace to accompany Bai Shi. Although they all held official positions, they did not side with their sister.
I also think that the ascension of such a capable person as my sister to the throne should be a cause for national celebration! All people should pay homage!
Wu Juan would naturally be present in such a scene!
She wholeheartedly agreed.
Lin Ru looked at these people with boredom, and only after she had completely made up her plan did she turn her attention to her!
"Your Majesty, what do you think?"
