Chapter 497 Return: Cleanup
"Welcome back, Your Majesty."
Upon Qin Wu's return, the guards in the Divine Martial Palace immediately bowed in salute.
"No need for formalities. You've all worked hard these past years. Now, go back to your duties!"
Qin Wu nodded and entered the Divine Martial Palace.
"Liuyun, go and bring me all the affairs, big and small, that have been handled during the years I've been away from the court."
In the study, Qin Wu had just sat down when he gave his instructions.
"Yes."
Liu Yun accepted the order and withdrew.
Not long after, Liuyun returned with the items.
"All of you may leave! Do not let anyone know that I have returned. What happened before will remain the same afterward."
Qin Wu waved for Liu Yun to step back.
Ten days later.
"Your Majesty, we pay our respects. May Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings."
Eleven cabinet members were summoned by Qin Wu to the Divine Martial Palace.
"Without courtesy, I will give you a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The eleven cabinet members rose and took their seats.
"You have all done well during my absence these past years. I will have the rewards sent to you later."
"Have you completed the tasks I assigned you before I left?"
Qin Wu spoke calmly.
"Your Majesty, everything is complete, and we are just waiting for your return."
The Grand Secretary rose to report.
"Your Majesty, we have also completed our task."
The other cabinet ministers also rose to report.
"Alright, next, let's purge the parasites in the court!"
"Let the Imperial Observatory make preparations! Let's find an auspicious day to prepare for the promotion!"
Qin Wu didn't ask any further questions.
He believed that no one would dare to lie to him about this.
Everyone present knew his temper; anyone who dared to deceive the emperor would definitely not have a good end.
"Yes, we understand."
The assembled ministers bowed and accepted the order.
"Go back!"
Qin Wu nodded.
"Liu Yun, go and inform the Crown Prince to take charge of everything, and also check the Crown Prince's cultivation results over the years."
After the elders had left, Qin Wu gave instructions to Liu Yun.
"Yes."
Liu Yun accepted the order and withdrew.
After receiving Qin Wu's order, the Qin Dynasty, which had been peaceful for tens of millions of years, was thrown into turmoil once again.
For over ten million years, because Qin Wu had not appeared, the ambitions of the immortals began to fester once again.
Corruption, embezzlement, and the sale of official positions occur frequently.
As a result, many complaints began to arise among the people.
In some places, riots even broke out, but they were quickly suppressed.
This has led to extremely intense internal conflicts within the Qin Dynasty, with the conflict between the new generation of power and the established forces in the court now approaching an irreconcilable point.
If this problem isn't resolved soon, something serious will happen eventually.
Now that Qin Wu is back, he will deal with all these problems.
Once these matters are resolved, we can begin the process of promoting the dynasty to imperial status.
The killing spree of the Qin Dynasty has begun again.
This time, it was even bloodier than before, with countless forces being wiped out.
Qin Wu watched all of this unfold silently from behind.
This time, he was very satisfied with Qin Chen's actions. After more than ten million years, he had indeed grown a lot.
He already shows signs of becoming an emperor.
Qin Wu watched all of this without paying any attention.
"Your Majesty, in recent years, our Qin Empire has merged with a large number of medium-sized territories, resulting in the emergence of spies from various forces within the country. These spies are now spread throughout the Qin Dynasty. Should we eliminate them all?"
Liu Yun reported to Qin Wu.
They also presented a list of items collected by the secret guards.
Qin Wu took the list, scanned it with his divine sense, and memorized it.
"I never imagined that in just over ten million years since I left, my Great Qin Dynasty would be so thoroughly infiltrated, like a sieve."
"Investigate thoroughly. Arrest all those who have been in contact with the spies. I am not dead yet; it is not their place to act recklessly."
Qin Wu coldly gave the order.
He wouldn't allow anyone to act recklessly on his turf.
He wouldn't tolerate those rats jumping around under his nose.
"Yes."
Liu Yun accepted the order and prepared to leave.
"Wait a moment, let Luo Wang handle this matter. I've been away for years, and I think they've become somewhat lax."
"Tell Luo Wang that if they don't see their efficiency this time, they shouldn't blame me for being ruthless."
Qin Wu called out to Liu Yun, who was about to leave.
Based on the intelligence he received from his secret guards during this period, he discovered that the Luo Wang organization had become quite lax in its work during his absence.
If we don't give them a good talking-to, they'll probably continue to slack off.
This was a special department he set up to inspect all officials.
"Yes, I understand."
Liu Yun understood Qin Wu's meaning and immediately accepted the order.
"Go!"
"Yes, I am resigning."
The drifting clouds receded.
Next, Liu Yun personally led his guards to the headquarters of Luo Wang.
He personally supervised the actions of those who were involved in the snare.
With Liu Yun's arrival at the Luo Wang headquarters, the people of Luo Wang no longer dared to slack off, and their efficiency was many times faster than before.
With the full force of the Luo Wang organization, countless spies were quickly apprehended.
Some of the most deeply hidden spies were uncovered.
Not only were the spies identified, but even the forces connected to them were uncovered.
In a short period of time, the entire Qin Dynasty, from the imperial court down to small county towns, was filled with bloodshed and countless heads.
It terrifies countless people.
Those who were born and joined the Qin Dynasty in the last tens of millions of years had never seen such a bloody massacre.
Some people had heard about it from their elders or seen it in the clan's records.
However, they had not experienced it firsthand, which is why only those who had not experienced it dared to cross the bottom line of the Qin Dynasty.
As for those ancient forces that have existed for a long time, they are very clear about them and have experienced them.
Therefore, even if Qin Wu announces that he is going into seclusion, they will still strictly require their clan members to never touch those things.
As for those new forces, they are ambitious and want more, and they want to become high-ranking officials in the Qin Dynasty.
They can say they'll do anything, and some of them don't even have a bottom line.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they would stop at nothing to achieve their goals.
But because of this, it's time for them to pay the price.
This may be the legendary cycle of cause and effect.
Of course, there were also many forces that wanted to resist during this turmoil.
However, their resistance was so futile. Faced with the iron-fisted suppression of the imperial court, the rebellions in various places could not even stir up any waves.
Instead, it will only hasten their demise.
This massacre lasted for thousands of years before it finally ended.
After all, the Qin Emperor Domain is now almost as large as a superior domain.
Such a vast territory cannot be resolved in a short period of time.
This massacre completely eliminated all previous hidden dangers, and no more unusual sounds were heard.
Meanwhile, the Qin Dynasty was also preparing for its promotion.
The entire imperial city was enveloped in a festive atmosphere.
Important members of the 52 noble families also rushed back from their fiefdoms to witness this grand occasion.
