Xiao Yunhao glanced at the empress's body indifferently, then walked towards the palace.

The eunuchs at the gate of the palace who had witnessed the whole process dropped their swords and knelt down when they saw Xiao Yunhao coming.

The empress is dead, why bother resisting?

Now they just hope to save their lives.

Who dares to stop the living king of hell from entering the palace?

Xiao Yunhao glanced at the obedient imperial guards.

"Go, gather everyone in the palace to the palace gate."

"If anyone dares to take advantage of the chaos to steal things from the palace, they will be killed without mercy!!"

Every stitch and thread in the palace belongs to my fourth brother’s wife.

He did not allow anyone to take advantage of the chaos to rob the property in the palace before the army entered the palace.

The eunuch guards blocking the palace gate were stunned and looked up at Xiao Yunhao in confusion.

After confirming that Xiao Yunhao was commanding them, the imperial guards were stunned for three breaths, and quickly responded,

"Yes!!"

It's a good thing that we can use them, which means their lives are saved.

Xiao Yunhao watched the palace guards rush into the palace and scatter, then walked towards the imperial study.

........

On the eighth day of the second month in the second year of Yongchang, Lin Yiran ascended the throne in Xiliang State and was proclaimed emperor.

The Xiliang Kingdom was renamed the Tianchen Kingdom.

Lin Yiran is called the Holy Emperor!

The first ray of sunlight in the early morning shines directly into the Hall of Supreme Harmony!

Lin Yiran, wearing a dragon robe, slowly walked up to the main hall, stood in front of the dragon throne, turned around and looked at the crowd of civil and military officials kneeling in the hall.

"The auspicious time has arrived--------" Xiao Yunhao's deep voice penetrated the morning mist.

Outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, ninety-nine and eighty-one drums with dragon patterns were beaten at the same time.

"Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"

All officials knelt and bowed, and the sound spread throughout the imperial city like a tide.

Lin Yiran sat firmly on the dragon throne as all the officials knelt down.

"Convey my will----"

Lin Yiran glanced at the ministers one by one.

"First, all prisoners in the cities will be released, except for those who plot treason, murder their parents, or commit corruption. The Dali Temple will review the unjust cases, and the chief judge will be dismissed and investigated for any death caused by torture!"

"Second, the people will be exempted from taxes for three years, and in cities hit by severe drought, two more years. Orphans and widows over sixty will receive three dou of rice per month, which will be distributed by the local prefects."

“Third, the old law is abolished, and from today on, the new law is enforced.”

"Your Majesty is benevolent and virtuous, God bless our Emperor!!" All the officials kowtowed and shouted excitedly.

Lin Yiran looked at Lin Changshou who was holding the newly compiled golden book of laws.

Lin Changshou took a step forward, looked at the officials, opened the golden book and said,

"From now on, we will implement the monogamy system. That is, if the husband goes to someone else's house to hang out, the wife has the right to kill him and will not be held responsible. She can remarry!"

"A husband who abuses his wife will be paraded through the streets with his head and eyebrows shaved off. If he does it again, he will be sentenced to three years of hard labor!"

"If a man takes a concubine, his ears will be cut off, and if he takes a concubine, he will be beheaded!"

"If a man wants to divorce his wife, he must report it to the government and can only divorce her after obtaining the government's consent. If he divorces his wife privately, he will be beaten with 30 sticks and fined 100 taels of silver."

"Women, like men, have the right to inherit their parents' property..."

"......"

Every time Lin Changshou read a law, the officials' eyes widened.

When the officials heard that marrying a concubine would require cutting off one's ears, they broke out in cold sweats.

After the morning court session ended, all the officials supported each other and hurried back to the government office with trembling legs.

It was a great honor for their ancestors that these old ministers were retained by the new emperor, and they dared not bring bad luck upon the new emperor again.

They did what the new law said.

Didn’t you see that more than half of the civil and military officials were missing? Those troublemakers and ministers who protected the previous dynasty were all dealt with.

Therefore, even if they had objections to Emperor Shengzhao's new laws, they did not dare to question them out loud.

The sword bestowed by the king of Zhenbei is merciless.

After the new law was passed down, the entire Tianchen Kingdom was extremely busy.

If there were concubines in the family, they would spend money as dowries and beg for favors to get them married off.

Those who have a concubine are almost in trouble.

However, Lin Yiran doesn't need to worry about this. What she is worried about is the Wu Ma family's treasure house in Lingxiao City and the remnants of Japan.

A month later, everything in Tianchen Kingdom was back on track. Lin Yiran, Xiao Yunhao and others, who had been busy all the time, finally made some time to sit together.

"Brother." Lin Yiran looked at Xiao Yunhao, "Dad and his men are about to take over Japan. I would like to ask you to deal with the remnants of Japan."

"It is my duty!" Xiao Yunhao smiled, "Fourth sister-in-law, if you have anything to ask, just tell me. No need to be so polite to me."

"How do you want to deal with the Japanese?"

Unexpectedly, he would actually see the destruction of Japan in his lifetime. It was simply unimaginable.

Thinking back to the time, he was also very angry about the Japan's despicable and perverted actions.

However, the country's warships were inferior to those of Japan and were always at a disadvantage.

This time, with the warships provided by my fourth brother's wife, we can finally destroy the prestige of Japan.

Lin Yiran glanced at Wan Suyun's bulging belly.

My eldest sister-in-law is already six months pregnant. Her belly is particularly big for twins and she is expected to give birth in eight months.

In two months, my brother should be able to come back, right?

Wan Suyun noticed Lin Yiran's gaze, pursed her lips and smiled.

"Ran Ran, if there is anything, just let your elder brother do it. The imperial physician said that I am in good health and it will take at least three months before I give birth."

Normally twins would be born at eight months, but Ranran had taken such good care of her physique that she could last until nine months.

Xiao Yunhao looked at his motherly daughter-in-law with loving eyes, then smiled at Lin Yiran.

"Your sister-in-law is right. I just need to go there and come back quickly."

"...Okay." Lin Yiran nodded with a smile, "There is a plane over at Lingxiao City."

"The plane can carry 600 people. Big brother will fly the plane and take the imperial physician to Japan."

Xiao Yunhao was delighted when he heard that he could fly the plane.

Hearing the second half of the sentence, he looked at Lin Yiran in confusion.

"Why bring the imperial physician to Japan?"

"Dad, are they injured?"

"No." Lin Yiran shook her head. "Dad and his men are fighting in the warship. The Japanese don't have the ability to hurt them."

"Then...you want me to take the imperial physician to Japan!?" Xiao Yunhao frowned and looked at Lin Yiran.

Lin Yiran pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and looked at Xiao Yunhao seriously.

"There's no need to pass on the genes of the Japanese, so I need my eldest brother to bring the imperial doctors to sterilize all the Japanese people."

"The sin of slaughtering a country is too great. Dad and his men certainly can't do it, so sterilization is the most appropriate."

"It just so happens that Japan needs labor for reconstruction, and these people are a ready-made labor force."

"What do you think, brother?"

Xiao Yunhao looked at Lin Yiran in shock, with surprise flashing in his eyes.

"I think this is a good idea. My fourth brother's wife is still merciful. This is the best outcome for the Japanese people."
