The eldest princess is obsessed with rebellion, but there are six male protagonists

The people of the world are unwilling to be educated, and must be dealt with with thundering and iron-blooded measures.

Since talking won't work, Su Fengyi hopes to use these seven heads to make the ministers present today remember one truth:

Imperial power is the bottom line of a monarch. Whoever dares to touch it will die!

She wanted anyone who wanted to shake her imperial power to retreat as soon as he had the thought of seeing these seven bloody heads.

Even if there are those who don’t understand and still dare to seek death, it doesn’t matter. Just kill them a few more times and they will eventually understand.

Beyond this bottom line, she can also be a benevolent monarch who is courteous to the wise, gentle and considerate, and willing to listen to the advice of her subjects.

This morning court session went exceptionally smoothly, with these seven heads and the smell of blood in the air.

When reviewing memorials in the afternoon, Su Fengyi suddenly discovered that there seemed to be fewer memorials today.

Xue Yu sorted out the memorial for her and said with a smile:

"I heard that the doorstep of the cabinet was almost broken down today. Many officials were worried that the memorials they wrote were not respectful enough and did not reflect their loyalty to His Majesty, so they begged the cabinet to withdraw the memorials."

Su Fengyi was thinking about what to do with the extra half day when she suddenly got a chance to relax. Xue Yu said:

"Your Majesty has been busy with the affairs of Shaanxi and Gansu recently, and even Court Judge Liao has checked the health of His Majesty several times. Now that Lord Yang has quelled the banditry in Shaanxi and Gansu, and Lord Lei and Lord Gongsun are looking after the flood, since there are few memorials today, why don't I ask Court Judge Liao to check the health of His Majesty?"

Anyway, she hadn't decided what to do. Su Fengyi felt that what Xue Yu said made sense, so she agreed and said:

"Okay, then let's call Judge Liao to take a look."

After reviewing the few memorials today, Su Fengyi was waiting in the study for Xue Yu to pass on the message to Liao Yuanpan. However, she could not sit still and walked to the map, setting her sights on Shaanxi and Gansu.

Su Jiheng originally had two groups of soldiers. One was in the open, under the command of Luo Daren, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu. The other was in the dark, private soldiers that Yang Baiwei raised for him in the name of a bandit.

Yang Baiwei has been hanging around in the bandit dens in Shaanxi and Gansu for many years, and has become the biggest bandit leader in the region. He knows the territories and origins of various bandits in the region like the back of his hand.

After receiving the order to redeem himself for meritorious service in suppressing bandits, General Yang started from the Yellow River, leading the soldiers he had trained in the front, and General Yan led his soldiers in the back. The two of them joined forces to sweep away all the bandit dens with a crushing force, and the chopped off bandits' heads were taken to the nearest town for public display.

The public security in the towns along the Yellow River in Shaanxi is so good now that no one dares to pick up a wallet if it falls on the ground.

So Lord Lei and the officials from the Ministry of Revenue, who had been captured in the bandit’s lair, began to repair the breached dike of the Yellow River and provide disaster relief on the spot.

The number of 200,000 disaster victims mentioned by Lord Luo is a bit exaggerated, in order to take the opportunity to ask for more disaster relief grain, but there are still tens of thousands of disaster victims.

Because Bai Guo had made great contributions in delivering the intelligence on military supplies, Su Fengyi officially granted her a status, promoting her from an eighth-rank minor official in the Ministry of Revenue to a seventh-rank chief clerk in the Ministry of Revenue. She was then allowed to follow her superior in the Ministry of Revenue to preside over disaster relief efforts on the spot.

Su Jiheng's troops were already two in 1, and the remaining troops in Lord Luo's hands were now a dead end for him.

Because General Shen surrounded Xi'an so quickly, he did not give Lord Luo any chance to react.

General Shen first besieged Lord Luo and his soldiers in the city of Xi'an, taking the knife out of Su Jiheng's hand, and then slowly increased the troops, taking over the surrounding areas of Xi'an bit by bit, and turned Xi'an into an isolated city.

No matter how sharp a knife is, what use is it if it is not in the hands of its owner?

Moreover, the relationship between the Luo family and Su Jiheng is not necessarily the same as the relationship between a knife and its owner.

After conquering Yang Boyi, Su Fengyi wrote to him to ask about the Luo family.

From Yang Baiwei's perspective, the relationship between Lord Luo and Su Jiheng is more of a monetary one.

Lord Luo, the Governor-General of Shaanxi and Gansu, has a big flaw, which is greed for money. Another big characteristic is that as the head of the family, he is very conscious of being the head of the family. He is very caring towards his family members and has always had a good relationship with his cousin, Lord Luo, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Therefore, Lord Luo turned a blind eye to these bandits kept by Yang Baiwei, mainly because he had accepted money from Su Jiheng, and then took advantage of the excuse of suppressing bandits to embezzle the money from the court to suppress bandits.

Even the Yellow River bursting its dike was caused by Su Jiheng, not Lord Luo.

Lord Luo also took advantage of the Yellow River bursting its dikes to once again play the game on both sides, taking advantage of both the benefits given by Su Jiheng and the disaster relief funds from the court.

Therefore, Lord Luo is not a good person, but he may not be on Su Jiheng's side. There is no need to force him into a desperate situation. Once he feels that he has no way out, he will be pushed to Su Jiheng's side.

This is also the reason why General Shen surrounded Xi'an instead of attacking it.

The walls of Xi'an are high and thick. If we really want to rely on brute force to attack, it will take a long time. It will waste time and manpower. It is better to let Luo stay where he is and deal with him after we have dealt with Su Jiheng.

But leaving Lord Luo there is always a hidden danger. Su Fengyi looked at Xi'an on the map and couldn't help thinking:

Apart from this, is there any other way to turn Su Jiheng's dead chess piece into his own live chess piece?
