When the guards outside interrogated the rebel leaders, Qiaomu reflected on himself for a long time.

This time, she took it for granted.

Maybe it was because the last time when she became Empress Dowager Dou, everything went very smoothly, so when she came to the early Western Han Dynasty again, she inevitably developed some slackness and some illusions that it was easy to deal with.

But she forgot that the early Western Han Dynasty 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 were well fed and well-fed. The Liu family's royal authority was greatly laid for overthrowing the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms.

At that time, all the military power was in the hands of the Liu Han royal family and Empress Dowager Dou. The ministers had no right to mobilize soldiers at all. If they wanted to kill any minister, they could even use false crimes. Qiaomu's actions were naturally smooth.

But now that Liu Bang has just died, the heroes have not yet died. Some people even have a lot of private soldiers and even army. If it weren't for the kings of Liu surnamed Liu who were enfeoffed in various places, they had not yet begun to cultivate their own power, or the forces they cultivated were not very powerful.

Maybe the situation for Lu Zhi is even worse.

Therefore, in the first few years, or in the years when her son became emperor, the original Lu Zhi lived a difficult journey because her son was useless. Until her son died, she was formally regent and enfeoffed Lu as kings, controlling most of the army. This was considered a formal peace of mind and training successors.

But who knew that she died before her grandson grew up.

The two nephews were stupid again and even gave up the military power they had obtained, which eventually implicated their Lu family and Liu Ying's descendants.

It can be said that if Liu Ying hadn't been too useless, Lu Zhi wouldn't have been like that at all.

Moreover, although she had certain selfish intentions to enfeoff Zhu Lu as kings, moreover, she knew that she would be in short order and was worried that her grandson would be unstable in the throne, so she hoped that her nephew would be able to protect the young emperor after getting the benefits.

Unfortunately, she overestimated her nephew's IQ.

He also underestimated the ruthlessness of those ministers.

If she had known it, she would have to kill the ministers of the court before she died.

Just as Qiao Mu was reflecting on himself, Xiao He and his team came to protect the enemy in a late arrival, and then all the soldiers of the firearm battalion who were almost on guard were thrust.

Fortunately, someone recognized Xiao He.

I stopped it for a moment and asked again, which eliminated the misunderstanding with the army protecting the army.

Then, the leader of the secret guard sent a maid to the inner hall to inform Qiaomu of the situation and asked Qiaomu whether he would meet Xiao He and Prime Minister Xiao.

Chumu is naturally to meet.

Just as she also wanted to give Xiao He some things.

A few minutes later, the two met.

I am waiting for the protection of the emperor to come late, and I hope that the Empress Dowager will forgive you. I wonder what your majesty is, have you ever been frightened?

As soon as Xiao He met, he asked Liu Ying.

In fact, the reason why Lu Zhi was able to quickly control the court and no one rebelled was mainly because of Xiao He and his team of firm royalists. Their so-called royalists were of course not Lu Zhi, but Liu Ying was mainly protected.

In their philosophy, Liu Ying was the orthodox emperor in orthodox etiquette and law. Although he was not the eldest son, he was also the legitimate son. He was also the crown prince before he ascended the throne, so everything was natural.

Whether from the current patriarchal system or from the system of inheritance of the eldest son established in ancient times, Liu Ying's status cannot be shaken.

For example.

Why was King Zhou and Emperor Xin able to be called 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 were the same mother and the same 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 been named queen, so he was the legitimate son.

Etiquette is so 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 has the ability.

Not to mention that.

What can he do? Stay in the house well? This time, you are guilty of being in the wrong of the rebels. The rebel leader has been arrested by the Ai family. It is also clear where the Ai family came from.

This matter is left to you for a thorough investigation, can it be?

Although Qiao Mu already knew who the rebels were and why they rebelled, she didn't know about their specific rebellion process and who had cooperated in the middle. If they could not find out all of these people, Qiao Mu would be really uneasy.

However, the original body had not penetrated the government affairs deeply at this time, and Qiaomu had been letting go of the government affairs for more than a year. Therefore, she was really not sure who was good or bad, who would obey the orders she issued, and who would obey the slander. The only thing she could believe was her brother and her own nephews. However, Qiaomu really did not trust their IQ, so she could only hope for Xiao He, hoping that he was at least loyal.

Yes, I will receive the order!

However, His Majesty the Queen Mother, if this matter is thoroughly investigated, it may involve many people and may even cause a certain rebellion. At that time, I hope His Majesty will prepare early and try to overcome it as much as possible.

I wonder if His Majesty has enough staff?

Are those private troops outside enough?

Has Your Majesty ever been stable?

Xiao He's words are a reminder.

It's also a test and inquiry.

Although he didn't know the force of the soldiers who pointed at him with iron tubes, he thought it was not much weaker just by judging by the time and power of their ease to wipe out the rebels.

But he had never heard of such an army. Then, it could only be that the Queen Mother had recently trained. How could he not be shocked and not want to test the depth?

Of course it is enough. Not to mention a few hundred Northern Army soldiers, as long as the Ai family prepares time, even if the Northern Army arrives, the Ai family will not be afraid of anything.

The Ai family knows what you are thinking.

I also know what you are worried about.

Don't worry, the Ai family can guarantee that the world belongs to the Liu family and will not fall into the hands of others.

Qiaomu sometimes feels strange.

She really couldn't understand. With just Liu Bang's existence, why would there be so many people who were loyal to him? The world had just been pacified for a few years, and Liu Bang actually died after being the emperor for a few years. But why would there be so many people who were willing to follow him to execute the mandate that he could not be called king except for the Liu surname?

So many good ministers and soldiers.

Why do you want to follow him like you were given a blow, be loyal to him and even his son?

However, even if Qiao Mu was puzzled, he could only make such promises for An Xiaohe's heart.

Anyway, she didn't plan to become the emperor herself.

Just do it like that.
