While Qiao Mu sorted out all the causes and consequences on his side, Xiao He's side was almost the same.

However, he is more troublesome on his side.

The ones caught in the palace are actually small minions, cut and killed at will, and everyone can't say anything, but what needs to be investigated outside the palace is the Qi family, as well as other officials who are involved in this matter, or who know about it, and even big and small nobles.

These are all Han magnates.

There are also people who help to intercede or something.

Xiao He was really difficult to handle, so after finding out all the incriminating evidence, he did not immediately act in accordance with the Han law, but quickly ran to see Qiao Mu with relevant evidence and clues.

Qiao Mu was a little dissatisfied.

But it doesn't matter.

Like helping Liu Bang kill heroes and killing Mrs. Qi before, except that killing Mrs. Qi was really carried out voluntarily by her, which was not a butcher's knife to save someone's reputation.

Anyway, her reputation has long been black.

There are more lice, so you don't have to worry about catching them.

It doesn't matter how many more kills there are.

In the inner sanctum of Weiyang Palace

Qiao Mu listened to Xiao He's statement expressionlessly.

"Your Majesty the Queen Mother, according to Weichen's half-moon investigation, the rebellion was committed by Qi Ji, the eldest son of Qi Ji, the leader of the Northern Army, and several generals in the Northern Army also followed, or remained silent and ignored it.

In addition, the eunuchs who were in charge of arranging the personnel of the inner and outer palaces and transporting goods also had the sin of accepting bribes and helping to coordinate without knowing it, and there was also the crime of negligence of the captain......"

Xiao He is also enough.

Standing there, he talked for more than a quarter of an hour in one breath, and told all the people he had found out, who might be involved in the slightest, covering almost half of the court.

Although most of it is negligence.

But at first glance, it sounds really bluffing.

If you don't listen carefully, just listening to the names of these ministers, you will think that you have to be overturned to the ground by the ministers of the DPRK and China.

Is this scaring her or something?

"Even if the crime of negligence is over, isn't the mourning family also neglected? Is it possible to cure the sin of mourning the family?

Those who accepted bribes to help coordinate, but did not know about it, were all exiled to the south for 3,000 miles, and let them go to those places in Lingnan to open up wasteland.

Drag the family with the mouth.

Those who knew about it but did not report it were all deprived of all official titles, confiscated their homes, and demoted to commoners.

As for those directly involved.

The generals of the Northern Army decided not to implicate their families, and the Qi family was the same, so that they could hand over the control of the Northern Army and that Qi Ji.

The execution is up to you.

Later, you will take my sigil to the firearms camp and lead the soldiers of the firearms battalion to carry it out.

If you don't resist, then according to what I just said, don't implicate the innocent too much, how to resist, those who resist will die, and those people will not need to continue to exist, the same as the Qi family. ”

Because Qiao Mu was sure that the death of his grandchildren had nothing to do with the Qi family, he naturally wouldn't be too angry, just punish the evil.

Of course, this refers to the case of not resisting.

If you resist, you can only rely on fate.

Let's see who's lucky enough to dodge the shooting.

"Yes, I'll go."

Hearing Qiao Mu say this, Xiao He breathed a sigh of relief, originally he was worried that Qiao Mu would be angry to the point of directly Zhulian, and he had already thought of a dissuasion plan in his heart, but he didn't expect that this time he would be so easy to speak, as long as it wasn't Zhulian, it would be much easier for him to turn around and do things.

Seeing that he should go, Qiao Mu did not delay the time, and directly sent someone to give Xiao He the talisman used to mobilize the firearms battalion, and asked Xiao He to execute it.

Of course, the talisman given by Qiao Mu is not very complete, and the talisman she gave Xiao He can only mobilize the soldiers of the firearms battalion to do the things that Qiao Mu has sent people to pass on the will before, as for others, such as doing extra things, or rebelling or something.

That's impossible.

Firearms are so powerful.

This point is still to be done by the arbor.

After that, things went pretty smoothly.

Qiao Mu didn't know if Xiao He's mouth could speak well, or if he really had such a strong deterrent, anyway, Xiao He almost didn't use a knife or a shot, so he arrested the people Qiao Mu wanted, and also confirmed his identity, and even all of them were successfully sentenced to death, however, none of those people were cut off, because they all committed suicide in prison, either drinking poison or hanging.

Qiao Mu also understands this.

Didn't dig too deep.

Because at this time, it is quite common for officials to commit suicide in prison, not to mention that they are officials who have already determined their crimes and will definitely die, that is, they have not determined their crimes, and some of them will commit suicide after being imprisoned for a long time or are afraid.

This has almost become a tradition in the Western Han Dynasty.

This tradition also led to the abnormal mortality rate of officials in the Western Han Dynasty far exceeding that of other dynasties.

When Xiao He came back with a talisman that could mobilize the soldiers of the firearms battalion, he also handed over the talisman of the Northern Army to Qiao Mu, this thing was asked by Qiao Mu to ask the Qi family, he never dared to put it in his hand for too long, if he put it for a while, he might be feared by the above.

So as soon as the matter was done, as soon as the Northern Army Soldier Fu arrived, he immediately brought it over and handed it over to Qiao Mu.

That's really not a long time to delay.

Qiao Mu was naturally very satisfied with this.

not only praised Xiao He greatly, but even added another thousand fiefdoms to him.

That's a lot of rewards.

After all, at this time, some of the princes' own fiefdoms may not add up to 1,000 households, but Xiao He directly increased the number of households by 1,000 this time.

How is this reward not good?

But Xiao He wasn't necessarily very happy.

Because the official title has reached the point where he is not short of money, it doesn't matter if there are more than 1,000 households or less than 1,000 households, but now because of this thousand households, he has been branded as the Empress Dowager Lu and has begun to be rejected by the nobles of the court.

But there was nothing he could do.

I can only admit it.

This kind of conspiracy is the most difficult to deal with.

No matter how witty he is, he can't do it.

Qiao Mu didn't care too much about how Xiao He was entangled, after she got the talisman of the Northern Army, she immediately began to adjust the ranks of the Northern Army, first of all, to split the Northern Army, and divided the original more than 50,000 soldiers of the Northern Army into three parts, two copies of 20,000 each, and one for a little more than 10,000.

One of the 20,000 soldiers still belonged to the original configuration of the Northern Army, and the other 20,000 soldiers formed a new Western Army, as for the remaining 10,000 soldiers, Qiao Mushun split a part from the Southern Army, filled it, and made up 20,000 soldiers to form the Eastern Army.

At this point, the four armies of the southeast, northwest and northwest were established.

Not counting fractions, a total of 80,000 soldiers.

It is located in Chang'an Quartet, and guards Chang'an.

In addition, Qiao Mu also carried out a great transfer of the officers of the major armies, and replaced all the officers of the remaining three armies except the Southern Army with his own cronies.

In this way, the three armies will be stabilized.

It was from this time that Qiao Mu officially controlled all the forces in the entire Chang'an.

The military power is in hand, and no one is worried.
