After the demon incident was concluded, Tai Hao turned his attention to the Empire.
The first step was to eliminate the internal traitors!
The stubborn old forces who had been jumping around the most, including those who had been stirring up trouble behind the scenes, were all arrested, and their family forces were also investigated.
With evidence collected by Zhizi and Tai Hao's order to punish them severely, a large-scale purge targeting the old stubborn forces was launched.
All Imperial prosecutors were mobilized, and local police departments cooperated fully.
Numerous families with long traditions and political prestige were uprooted, and even more disciples were implicated.
In the end, this political storm grew more and more intense, even the guard units of the major provinces were mobilized.
This purge lasted for a full six months, with over 1.5 million people arrested and imprisoned, and 120,000 people executed.
Over a dozen families, large and small, completely disappeared from the Empire due to the system of collective responsibility.
The bloody purge made the entire Empire tense and fearful, everyone was on edge, and even the people's livelihood and economy were affected.
In the end, the horrifying event of not having enough prisons occurred!
Finally, Tai Hao gave orders to revoke the Imperial citizenship of those with serious crimes and exile them to the Northern Continent.
In the end, over 800,000 people were exiled to the cold Northern Continent, to live with the winter and beasts.
After this purge, Tai Hao's power reached its peak, truly achieving the level of being able to speak the law and have it be followed.
Bai E Di Jun's reputation was like a great sun, covering the entire Empire.
After the demon incident, Tai Hao eliminated the resistance forces from the Western Continent, resolved the political enemies within the Empire, and also won the heart of a beautiful woman.
Islara had been taken into Tai Hao's harem, becoming his first concubine.
Tai Hao was already thirty years old, naturally, he had already married and had children - no, a daughter.
Duan Tai Ming Yue, Tai Hao's wife, the Empress of the Xing He Empire.
When Tai Hao was six years old, four-year-old Duan Tai Ming Yue was confirmed as his Crown Princess.
Duan Tai Ming Yue was born into the Duan Tai clan, and she was the only legitimate daughter of the Duan Tai clan's main branch.
Like the Di Hong clan, the Duan Tai clan was one of the oldest surnames in the Xing He Empire.
The Duan Tai clan had a fine family tradition, adhering to etiquette. Each generation produced numerous talents, including many prominent historical figures.
It could be said to be the first family that shared the same fate as the country.
As the youngest son, the only legitimate heir of the Empire, the old emperor was very concerned about Tai Hao.
To strengthen Tai Hao's power, he directly tied the Duan Tai clan to Tai Hao.
Not only did the legitimate daughter enter the palace early to serve as a female officer, cultivating a relationship with Tai Hao, but even the family's only two legitimate sons also became Tai Hao's companions.
In addition to the Duan Tai clan, the Si Kong clan, the Ji Mo clan, and the Wen Ren clan, three major families, were also politically tied to Tai Hao.
The legitimate sons of the three families also became Tai Hao's little companions and bookboys.
Duan Tai Ming Yue was two years younger than Tai Hao, they grew up together as childhood sweethearts, their relationship was deep and close, like family.
When Tai Hao was fourteen years old, they held a grand wedding, becoming a young couple.
One was fourteen years old, and the other was only twelve, weren't they a young couple, both still underage.
After ascending to the throne for two years, eighteen-year-old Tai Hao finally couldn't resist the beauty and youthful excitement, and the two finally had a true marital relationship.
In the fifth year of Bai E, they finally had their first child, and also their only daughter. After that, Duan Tai Ming Yue did not have any more children.
The Empire needed an heir.
For this reason, Duan Tai Ming Yue even endured her heartache and suggested to Tai Hao that he choose several daughters of ministers to fill the harem.
But Tai Hao refused.
In order to develop the Empire and unify the globe, Tai Hao worked tirelessly and had no time to deal with the women in the harem.
Tai Hao, having watched "The Legend of Zhen Huan," knew too well how terrifying the women in the harem could be.
But most importantly,
Duan Tai Ming Yue had already completely fulfilled all of Tai Hao's fantasies about women.
She was gentle and understanding, elegant and noble, her beauty was stunning and captivating, her figure was graceful and elegant, and she was both elegant and charming, alluring and captivating.
Even after being exposed to the temptations of TikTok in his previous life and experiencing the beauty of 3D animation, Tai Hao was still uncontrollably infatuated with her.
If Islara was the most beautiful woman in the Emon Empire, then Duan Tai Ming Yue was the pearl of the Origin Star.
Therefore, Duan Tai Ming Yue's reputation within the Empire was not good, rumors spread that she was jealous and possessive of the Emperor.
Some bold people even gave her the title of "妖后" (Demon Empress).
Hearing this, Tai Hao was furious and directly ordered a brutal crackdown, eliminating many people.
But now, the situation of the Empress being the only favored one had finally been broken.
A princess from a destroyed country was actually chosen to enter the harem.
Many people had ideas.
But they were in for disappointment, Tai Hao had no plans to expand the harem.
Islara was just Tai Hao's indulgence of himself.
One classical beauty and one exotic beauty were enough for Tai Hao to satisfy his desires.
For Tai Hao, the most important thing was to develop the Empire's technology and allow the Empire to enter the electrical age as soon as possible.
He was almost thirty years old, and the Empire's development speed needed to be further increased.
Tai Hao was determined to bring the Empire into the electrical age within a year.
To accelerate civilization's evolution, a large number of civilization points were used and consumed.
Tai Hao spent a large amount of civilization points, directly having the system infuse the knowledge into the minds of those scientists!
The Empire's scientists and mathematicians were as if heaven was helping them, their thoughts flowed like a spring, and their inspiration exploded.
Not long after, the basic theory of the electrical age was proposed by a professor from the Imperial Institute of Technology's Physics Application Department.
This basic theory was none other than electromagnetic theory.
The door to the electrical age was cracked open a little.
