After the male supporting role stopped interfering, the female protagonist suffered

After Emperor Dongqing wrote the decree of succession, he looked at Zhou Hui.

He took a deep breath, looked at Zhou Hui and said, "I have always believed that you are the smartest among all the princes."

Zhou Hui rolled his eyes and refuted rudely: "Stop trying to get close to me. In fact, you don't like me. I know it all. After all, my mother doesn't like you either."

"How can someone as heartless as you deserve others to treat you sincerely?"

"There was once someone who was very kind to you and believed in you."

"What happened? How did he become? He was already a patch of yellow dust."

Zhou Hui didn't take Emperor Dongqing's words to heart at all.

Zhou Hui looked at the prince and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't give you any wine. He is the late emperor now, and his words don't count. No one here can hear it."

The Dragon Guards, Dark Knights and Royal Guards looked up at the sky; they heard nothing.

"Hahaha! So, you have been plotting against us all along?"

The prince felt devastated and uncomfortable, as if he had been greatly deceived.

Zhou Hui spread his hands and said helplessly: "How could I have plotted against you? Was it me who asked you to kill Lao San on the road to Pingzhou?"

"No, this was done by the eldest princess."

"Is it me who asked someone to poison the third brother?"

"No, this was done by the eldest princess."

"That's right! The Li Xiu you're fighting over is mine."

Zhou Hui smiled, and the Crown Prince and the Third Prince also laughed. The Third Prince said, "I am indeed not suitable to grow up in an imperial family."

"Indeed, I hope you will be born into a good family in your next life."

Zhou Hui nodded in agreement. The intrigues in the royal family were indeed not suitable for people with simple minds.

"What do you mean?"

The third prince heard that there seemed to be some hidden meaning in these words.

"It means that you are going to die! I was the one who poisoned you. After all, the white-eyed wolf must be punished."

Zhou Hui smiled at the Third Prince, and seeing his panicked look, he continued, "It's no use looking for Liang Jiaoyue. Her medical skills are just so-so!"

Zhou Hui turned around, patted his wheelchair gently, and said, "I'll leave this to you! You need it more than I do!"

The next day, court was held as normal.

Zhou Hui, wearing a black dragon robe and carrying a silver blade, entered the Jingren Hall with Yinsha and Yinling.

The ministers looked at each other, still in a state of confusion.

After Zhou Hui sat down, he said, "This chair is uncomfortable, let's change it!"

"Yes!"

Yin Ling nodded slightly. Indeed, the dragon throne was very hard and not comfortable to sit on!

Minister of Rites Shen Lian was the prince's man. When he saw the Second Prince sitting on the dragon throne, he stepped forward and asked, "Second Prince, where is the Crown Prince?"

"The prince has been deposed! Yesterday, the prince forced the emperor to abdicate, and the emperor directly deposed him."

Zhou Hui said he didn't care, but Shen Lian didn't believe it. He said, "Since the emperor has woken up, why didn't he go to court? How can the second prince wear the dragon robe and sit on the dragon throne?"

Zhou Hui looked at Shen Lian, and seeing how upright he was, he laughed out loud.

He clapped his hands lightly, and Cang Yu came in with the Black Spirit Army.

Cang Yu came in and shot Shen Lian dead with one shot, scaring the ministers so much that they cowered in fear.

Yin Ren took out the memorial and began to read Shen Lian's life, including when he got married and had children, and how many times he went to his concubine's room.

Not only that, the money, account books, and witnesses that Shen Lian had embezzled were all there.

"Do you think I am discussing this with you? I am just informing you."

"I, Zhou Hui, established the Xia Kingdom in Dongqing, and named the era Yuanchu."

Zhou Hui looked at those ministers, and it was obvious that they were not going to obey, so he killed them.

"Your Majesty, long live the emperor!"

When their lives are threatened, how many people can remain true to their original intentions?

"Everyone, please stand up! I am the founding emperor of Xia. From now on, the Ministry of Rites will preside over the establishment of the Great Xia Daily and local daily newspapers with funding from the Ministry of Revenue."

"This newspaper will fairly present the national policies and livelihood to the people of Daxia, and there must be no deception."

"When I first became the founding emperor of Daxia, I ordered the Lingzhou farms to distribute good seeds to the people and teach them how to farm."

After Zhou Hui gave the order, the Minister of Revenue Shi Jing stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have also heard that there is a farm in Lingzhou that has good seeds and fertile land. I have sent people there, but they refused. They said that the experiment has not been successful yet."

"Well! Nothing to worry about! The establishment of a new dynasty must have a happy event to celebrate. They will definitely agree."

Zhou Hui smiled, and Shi Jing understood that this person was also the emperor's man.

Zhou Hui passed down one order after another, and in particular, several ministers had their properties confiscated and beheaded.

He displayed piece after piece of evidence, and the people of Xia were so angry that they cursed these ministers.

Say they are all parasites and black sheep.

As for their relatives, both men and women, they were all thrown into the work of digging the canal.

When Shi Jing heard the news, he said puzzledly: "In the past, the families of officials who were convicted of crimes were sent to the Jiaofang."

"Really? That was in the past, not now. There is no longer any rule of enrolling in the music school."

"I want to build a canal, and I can't let the good people do it. So, these families are just right."

Zhou Hui only killed the ringleaders and those who had killed people, and all the family members and servants in the mansion were sent to repair the river.

"Your Majesty, please tell me whether Lingzhou Farm belongs to you."

Shi Jing sat opposite Zhou Hui, holding a white chess piece in his hand, and asked with a smile.

"Yes. He is my man."

Zhou Hui nodded. It wasn’t a bad thing, so why not let people know.

Shi Jing was shocked, he thought that possessing firearms was the emperor's greatest strength, but he didn't know that the emperor also had influence in other places.

Xue'an brought in tea, and Shi Jing said with a smile: "Miss Xue'an, you are also a ninth-rank martial artist, don't you want to go out and fight a big battle?"

"Yes! I have the same doubts."

When it comes to hiring people, Zhou Hui has no gender bias at all; as long as someone is useful, they can be hired.

But Xue'an and the others were unwilling to leave his side.

"I am pleased!"

Xue'an stood up and walked out angrily.

She didn't have any big ambitions and used to just want to manage the Second Prince's Mansion.

Now she just wants to manage the palace well and train some people to help her master.

"Why is she angry?"

Shi Jing couldn't understand why he left? And was he still angry?

"I don't know! Let her be! They have suffered so much following me, and now it's time for them to have a good rest."

Zhou Hui smiled. He was very tolerant of Yin Ren and the others. After all, they had all suffered with him.
