After conquering the Great Zhao Country, Lin Yi, now addressed as King Zhao and King You, consolidates his power by demanding the remaining officials prove their loyalty. He tasks them with purging any remaining rebels from the previous dynasty, implying their positions depend on their performance. Meanwhile, the sounds of weeping from the Imperial Palace reveal the fate of the former royal family and staff.

If we’re talking about latent remnants, these princes and princesses truly count as remnants of the previous dynasty.

These people are likely the ones who harbor the greatest hatred; no matter how old they get, their minds are fixated on avenging their fathers and dreaming of overthrowing this dynasty.

After all, the original Zhao Country was their family’s, and their status was that of royal kinsfolk, elevated and privileged. But because of Lin Yi, they were directly turned into commoners, and not just any commoners, but the lowest class, even afraid to reveal their heritage.

Such days of lurking and hiding like rats are ones they are unwilling to endure.

That’s precisely why they especially resent Lin Yi.

Of course, even if their resentment grows, it’s something they cannot change.

After all, when Lin Yi seized the Zhao Country, they were merely children.

Luckily for them, they were children; otherwise, they might have followed in the footsteps of the Eldest Prince and the Third Prince.

Because an adult prince is something Lin Yi absolutely couldn’t keep around.

And now, at this moment, dealing with these people in the Imperial Palace proves to be a bit of a headache for Lin Yi.

For he is, after all, a modern man, and having a modern person carry out familial extermination is evidently something Lin Yi finds difficult to do.

Therefore, he directly handed this matter over to the old man to handle, as for how the old man deals with it, Lin Yi doesn’t concern himself, much like Puyi in later generations.

Lin Yi believes that even if these princes grow up, they won’t be able to stir up any trouble.

All the more so because by the time they grow up, he would have completely transformed Zhao Country.

A transformation so profound that no citizen of Zhao Country would want to live in the horrors of the past again.

This is already enough, and Lin Yi has such confidence.

Because of this, he isn’t afraid of the old man secretly hiding these people or plotting anything.

After all, to him, it would all be in vain.

Once he delegated these matters to the old man, Lin Yi didn’t linger much longer, but simply flew directly to the rear camp.

He needed to find Leng Yu and the others, to quickly bring them over to the Capital City.

Only by bringing them all over could he better assess everything here, as currently, the only person here belonging to him is the old man, and that’s just in words.

As for what the old man truly thinks, or what his ultimate aim is?

Lin Yi fundamentally has no control over it.

After conquering a dynasty, not having a single confidant by his side, such an event was unprecedented throughout history.

But to Lin Yi, this clearly isn’t a problem; in just an hour’s time, he had already brought Leng Yu and the others over here.

And it wasn’t just Leng Yu who came, but also numerous competent ministers she brought with her.

They swiftly took control of everything here, quickly reorganizing and restructuring the various departments of Zhao Country, and carried out verifications.

The department they established is somewhat similar to a disciplinary committee.

Specially tasked with supervising and monitoring officials.

Because of their presence, the officials of Zhao Country have all curbed their little schemes.

In about three days, the entire Capital City began to gradually restore order, and the common people were already walking on the streets.

As for the change of emperors and the upheaval in Zhao Country, their personal experience might not feel significantly impacted.

When they stepped out into the open, they found that the sky was still the same sky, the streets were still the same streets, and they were not affected in the slightest.

After all, the people they usually saw were still the same people; King Zhao typically wouldn’t appear before them, and now Lin Yi wouldn’t either.

Seeing that matters here were nearing an end and settling into a routine,

Lin Yi simply shifted his focus away from here.

Do not forget, there is more than just Zhao Country who wants to attack You Country; there’s also Yan Country watching covetously.

As for what condition Yan Country was in at the moment, Lin Yi didn’t know.

And whether they were aware of the events happening here, Lin Yi was also without knowledge.

Presumably, with such significant changes occurring here, there must have been some word reaching over there.

And regarding Yan Country, Lin Yi planned to handle it as directly as Zhao Country, pushing forward one city at a time.

Only by attacking and taking over these cities could it be the most secure and stable.

And when he called upon Zhao Country’s Grand General, the old man Lu Zheng, Lu Zheng immediately thumped his chest loudly, declaring he would personally lead the army to campaign alongside Lin Yi.

Lin Yi did not refuse him, as that was originally the plan, considering that Lin Yi was unfamiliar with that region. At the very least, since the old man had previously been willing to join forces with Yan Country to attack Zhao Country, it meant he must be fairly knowledgeable about Yan Country’s situation.
