While the guards outside were interrogating the rebel leaders, Qiao Mu reflected on himself for a while.
This time, she took it a little too much for granted.
Maybe it was because the last time she became Queen Mother Dou, everything went very smoothly, so when she came to the Western Han Dynasty again in the early days, she inevitably felt a little slack, and also had some illusions that it was nothing more than that and easy to deal with.
But she forgot that the early Western Han Dynasty at this time was completely different from the early Western Han Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Wu. In the early years of Emperor Wu, the world was peaceful and the people had abundant food and clothing. The Liu family's royal authority was greatly established by quelling the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms. .
At that time, all military power was in the hands of the Liu Han royal family and Empress Dowager Dou. The ministers had no right to mobilize soldiers. If they wanted to kill a minister, they could use it even for unfounded crimes. Qiao Mu's actions were naturally very smooth. .
But now that Liu Bang has just died, the original heroes are not dead yet. Some people even have many private soldiers and even armies. If it weren't for the kings surnamed Liu who were enfeoffed in various places, they haven't begun to cultivate their own power. , or the forces cultivated are not very strong yet.
Maybe Lu Pheasant¡¯s situation is even worse.
Therefore, in the first few years, or in other words, the years when her son was the emperor, the original Lu Pheasant had a difficult life because her son was useless. She waited until her son died and she officially became the regent. , and enfeoffed Zhu Lu as king and controlled most of the army. This was considered as formal peace of mind and training of successors.
But who knew she would die before her grandson grew up.
The two nephews were stupid and actually gave up the military power they had obtained. In the end, their Lu family and Liu Ying's descendants were all killed.
It can be said that if Liu Ying was not too useless, Lu Pheasant would not be like that at all.
And although she had some selfish motives in enfeoffing Zhu Lu as kings, it was probably more because she knew that she was not going to die soon and was worried that her grandson's throne would be unstable, so she hoped that her nephew would be able to protect the young emperor after receiving benefits.
"It's a pity that she overestimated her nephew's IQ.
I also underestimated the ruthlessness of those ministers.
If she had known earlier, she would have had to kill the court ministers before she died.
Just when Qiao Mu was reflecting on himself, Xiao He and the others belatedly ran over to escort him with some troops. Then, they were almost surprised by the soldiers of the Firearms Battalion who were on guard.
Fortunately, someone recognized Xiao He.
After stopping for a moment and asking some more questions, the misunderstanding with the escorting army was eliminated.
Then, the leader of the secret guard sent a maid into the inner hall to inform Qiao Mu of the situation, and asked Qiao Mu if he wanted to see Xiao He and Prime Minister Xiao.
The trees are naturally there to be seen.
It just so happened that she also wanted to tell Xiao He something.
A few minutes later, the two met.
"I am waiting for the escort to arrive late. I hope Her Majesty the Queen Mother will forgive me. I wonder how Your Majesty is doing. Have you ever been frightened?"
As soon as Xiao He met, he asked Liu Ying.
In fact, the reason why Lu Pheasant was able to quickly take control of the court and no one raised an army to resist was mainly because of Xiao He and his group of staunch royalists. And their so-called royalist certainly did not protect Lu Pheasant, but mainly Liu Zhi. surplus.
In their concept, Liu Ying is an orthodox emperor in the orthodox etiquette. Although he is not the eldest son, he is still the legitimate son, and he was the crown prince before he ascended the throne. Everything is logical.
No matter in terms of today's patriarchal system or the eldest son inheritance system established in ancient times, Liu Ying's status is unshakable.
??For example.
Why was King Zhou, Emperor Xin, able to proclaim himself emperor?
It has nothing to do with how brave he is.
The main reason is that he is the legitimate son.
He and his two brothers have the same mother and father, but when his two brothers were born, his mother was not the queen.
So his two brothers are concubines.
When he was born, his mother had already been named queen, so he was the legitimate son.
Etiquette is so strict and rigorous.
Even if the legitimate son is incompetent, at least half of the ministers in the court will stand by the legitimate son for no reason due to etiquette and law.
If the legitimate son is capable.
Not to mention that.
"What can he do? He can stay in the house well. You are guilty of negligence in the rebellion. The leader of the rebelsThey have all been captured by the Ai family, and the Ai family also knows where they come from.
Can I leave this matter to you for a thorough investigation? "
Although Qiao Mu had a general idea of ??who the rebels were and why they rebelled, she still didn't know the specific process of their rebellion and who cooperated with them. If they couldn't find out all of them, , Qiao Mu is really uneasy.
However, the original person's penetration into the government affairs at this time was not deep, and Qiao Mu had already let go of the government affairs for more than a year. Therefore, among the people in the court, she was really not sure who was good and who was good. Damn, who will obey her orders and who will disobey them? The only ones she can trust are her brother and her nephews. However, Qiao Mu really doesn't trust their IQ, so she can only rely on hope. Yu Xiao He, I hope he is at least loyal.
¡°Yes, I accept the order!
"However, Her Majesty the Queen Mother, once this matter is thoroughly investigated, many people may be implicated, and it may even trigger a certain rebellion. I hope Her Majesty the Queen Mother will make early preparations and try to overcome it.
I wonder if Her Majesty the Queen Mother has enough manpower?
Are the private armies outside enough?
Has His Majesty¡¯s position ever been secure? "
Xiao He¡¯s words are an exhortation.
It is also testing and questioning.
Although he didn¡¯t know the strength of the soldiers who pointed the iron pipe at him earlier, judging from the time and power with which they easily wiped out the rebels, they couldn¡¯t be much weaker.
But he had never heard of such an army. So, it could only be recently trained by the Queen Mother. How could this not frighten him and make him want to test it out?
"Of course it is enough. Let alone a few hundred Northern troops. As long as the Ai family is given time to prepare, even if the Northern troops arrive together, the Ai family will have nothing to fear.
Ai Jia knows what you are thinking.
I also know what you are worried about.
¡°Don¡¯t worry, the Ai family can guarantee that this world belongs to the Liu family and will not fall into the hands of others. "
Qiao Mu sometimes feels really strange.
She really couldn't understand why there were so many people loyal to Liu Bang. The world had just been peaceful for a few years, and Liu Bang had not been emperor for a few years before he died. But his Why are there so many people willing to follow the mandatory order that no one except Liu can claim the title of king?
There are so many good ministers and soldiers.
Why do you want to follow him as if you were being beheaded and be loyal to him and even his son?
However, no matter how puzzled Qiao Mu is, for the sake of An Xiaohe, he can only promise this.
¡°She didn¡¯t plan to become the emperor herself anyway.
