    While Qiao Mu sorted out all the causes and consequences, Xiao He was almost done.

    "However, it's more troublesome on his side.

    Those caught in the palace were actually minions who hacked and killed them casually, and it was hard for everyone to say anything. But outside the palace, those who wanted to investigate were the Qi family, as well as other officials who were involved in the matter or knew about it, and even  Great honors and nobility.

    These are all powerful men of the Han Dynasty.

    There are still people asking for help and so on.

    Xiao He was really difficult to deal with, so after finding out all the evidence, he did not immediately act according to Han law, but quickly came to see Qiao Mu with relevant evidence and clues.

    Although Qiao Mu was a little dissatisfied.

    But it doesn¡¯t matter.

    ??Like the previous killing of heroes for Liu Bang and the killing of Madam Qi, except that the killing of Madam Qi was truly done voluntarily by her, it was not a butcher's knife to preserve someone's reputation.

    Anyway, her reputation has long been tarnished.

    If there are too many lice, you don¡¯t have to worry about catching them.

    It doesn¡¯t matter if you kill a few more.

    In the inner hall of Weiyang Palace

    Qiao Mu listened to Xiao He¡¯s statement expressionlessly.

    "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, according to the half-month investigation by Wei Chen, the rebellion was carried out by Qi Ji, the eldest son of the leader of the Northern Army, Qi Ji. Several generals in the Northern Army also followed, or remained silent or turned a deaf ear.

    ¡°In addition, the eunuchs responsible for the arrangement of internal and external palace personnel and the transportation of goods were also guilty of accepting bribes without knowing it to help coordinate, and there was also the crime of negligence by the Taiwei"

    Xiao He is also good enough.

    He just stood there and spoke for more than a quarter of an hour, telling all the people he had found who might be slightly involved, covering almost half of the court.

    Although most of them are oversights.

    But at first glance, it does sound quite bluffing.

    "If you didn't listen carefully and just listened to the names of these ministers, you would think that you would be overthrown to the ground by the alliance of ministers.

    Are you trying to scare her or something?

    "Forget the crime of negligence, didn't the Ai family also neglect the crime? Is it possible that the Ai family still needs to be punished?

    Those who accepted bribes to help coordinate, but were not aware of it, were all exiled three thousand miles south to open up wasteland in places like Lingnan.

    Bring your whole family along with you.

    Those who knew the information but concealed it but did not report it would be deprived of all official titles, their homes confiscated, and demoted to civilians.

    As for those who are directly involved.

    The generals of the Northern Army decided not to implicate their families, and the Qi family also asked them to hand over control of the Northern Army and that Qi successor.

    The specific implementation is left to you.

    Later you take my talisman to the firearms camp and lead the soldiers of the firearms camp to execute it.

    If you don¡¯t resist, then do what I just said, don¡¯t involve too many innocent people, and resist anyway. Those who resist will die, and those families will no longer need to continue to exist, just like the Qi family.  "

    Because Qiao Mu was sure that the death of his grandchildren had nothing to do with the Qi family, he naturally would not express his anger too much and would only kill the culprit.

    Of course, this refers to the situation of non-resistance.

    If you resist, you will have to wait and see your fate.

    See who is lucky enough to dodge the shot.

    "Yes, I'll go right away."

    Hearing what Qiao Mu said, Xiao He relaxed a little. Originally, he was worried that Qiao Mu would be so angry that he would be directly implicated, and he had already thought of a plan to dissuade him. However, he did not expect that he would be so easy to talk to this time. As long as he was not implicated,  It will be much easier for him to do things later.

    Seeing that he agreed, Qiao Mu didn¡¯t waste time and sent someone directly to give Xiao He the talisman used to mobilize the firearms battalion and asked Xiao He to execute it.

    Of course, the military talismans given by Qiao Mu were not complete. The military talismans she gave to Xiao He could only mobilize the firearms battalion soldiers to do the things that Qiao Mu had previously sent to do. As for other things, such as doing extra things, or rebelling, etc.  of.

    That is impossible.

    Firearms are so powerful.

    You still need to be wary of Qiao Mu.

    What happened after that went very smoothly.

    Qiao Mu didn't know whether it was Xiao He's eloquence or whether he was really such a strong deterrent. Anyway, Xiao He almost didn't use a knife or a gun before he captured the person Qiao Mu wanted and confirmed his identity.  They were all sentenced to death successfully, but none of those peopleSome were beheaded, because they all committed suicide in prison, either by drinking poison or hanging themselves.

    About this, Qiao Mu also understands.

    Didn¡¯t delve too deeply into it.

    Because it is quite common for officials to commit suicide in prison at this time. Not to mention those officials whose crimes have been confirmed and will definitely die. Even those whose crimes have not been confirmed, some will commit suicide if they have been in jail 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 the military talisman that could mobilize the firearms battalion soldiers, he also handed the Northern Army's military talisman to Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu asked him to ask for this thing from the Qi family, and he would never dare to put it down.  If you leave it in for too long, you might get jealous from the superiors if you leave it for a while longer.

    So as soon as the matter was done and the Beijun soldier talisman was obtained, he immediately brought it over and gave it to Qiao Mu.

    Then I really don¡¯t dare to delay at all.

    Qiao Mu is naturally very satisfied with this.

    Not only did he greatly praise Xiao He, he even gave him an additional thousand fiefdoms.

    This reward is definitely a lot.

    After all, at this time, some princes may not have a thousand households in total, but Xiao He directly increased it by a thousand households this time.

    How can this reward not be considered a good thing?

    But Xiao He was not necessarily very happy.

    Because his official position and title have reached the point where he is actually not short of money, it doesn't matter if he has one thousand more households or one thousand households less. However, because of the one thousand households, he is now branded as the Empress Dowager Lu and begins to be treated by the court.  Zhongxungui excludes.

    But there was nothing he could do.

    You can only admit it.

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

    No matter how clever he is, he can't do anything.

    Qiao Mu didn't care too much about Xiao He's struggles. After she got the Northern Army's military talisman, she immediately began to adjust the Northern Army's ranks. The first was to split the Northern Army's original more than 50,000 soldiers.  Three copies, two of which cost 20,000 each, and one which cost a little more than 10,000.

    One of the 20,000 soldiers still belongs to the original Northern Army configuration, and the other 20,000 soldiers form the new Western Army. As for the remaining more than 10,000 soldiers, Qiao Mu also split them from the Southern Army.  Some came over and filled it in, forming 20,000 soldiers to form the Eastern Army.

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

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

    It is divided into all directions of Chang'an and protects Chang'an.

    In addition, Qiao Mu also made great adjustments to the officers of the major armies, replacing all the officers of the other three armies except the Southern Army with his cronies. Later, because there were not enough cronies, Qiao Mu took the opportunity to  He also promoted a group of men from those three armies.

    This will stabilize the three armies.

    It was from this moment on that Qiao Mu officially took control of all the forces in Chang'an.

    With military power in hand, no one is embarrassed.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
