While Qiao Mu settled all the causes and consequences, Xiao He was almost the same.

However, his side is more troublesome.

The people caught in the palace were actually small minions, and they were killed casually, so it was hard for everyone to say anything, but what was to be investigated outside the palace was the Qi family, as well as other officials involved in this matter, or even the nobles of all sizes.

These are all powerful Han dynasties.

Someone else helps to plead with mercy.

Xiao He was really difficult to deal with, so after finding out all the evidence, he did not immediately follow the 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.

For example, the previous thing that helped Liu Bang kill meritorious officials and the killing of Concubine Qi was the one she really voluntarily doing, what was not to be a butcher knife in order to preserve someone's reputation?

Anyway, her reputation has long been broken.

If there are too many lice, you won’t have to worry about catching them.

It doesn't matter if you kill a few more.

Inside the Weiyang Palace

Qiaomu listened to Xiao He's statement expressionlessly.

"Your Majesty, according to the results of my husband's investigation for half a month, the rebellion was done by Qi Ji, the eldest son of the leader of the Northern Army. Several generals in the Northern Army also followed, or remained silent and ignored it.

In addition, the internal officials who are responsible for the arrangements of internal and external court personnel and the transportation of goods have also committed crimes of accepting bribes and helping to coordinate without their knowledge, and the Taiwei's crime of failing to observe."

Xiao He is also OK.

He stood there and said for more than a moment in one go, saying all the people he found, who might have had such a little involvement, almost covering most of the court.

Although most of them are missed.

But at first glance, it's really quite intimidating.

If I didn't listen carefully, if I just listened to the names of these ministers, those who didn't know would think that they would be united by the ministers in the court and overturned to the ground.

Is this scaring her or what?

"Forget it, the crime of missed supervision, hasn't the Ai family been missed? Could it be that the crime of missed the Ai family still needs to be punished?

Those who accepted bribes to help coordinate, but were unaware of it, all of them were exiled to the south for three thousand miles, and they were asked to go to those places in Lingnan to open up land.

Let's go with your family.

Those who know the information but hide it from reporting will all deprive all their official positions and titles, search their homes, and demote them to civilians.

As for those who are directly involved.

The generals of the Northern Army were killed and executed without implicating their families. The Qi family was the same, and they were asked to hand over the control of the Northern Army and the Qi Ji.

The specific execution will be left to you.

You will take my talisman to the Firearms Battalion and lead the soldiers of the Firearms Battalion to execute.

If you don’t resist, then as I just said, don’t involve the innocent too much, how to resist, if the person who resists the order dies, there is no need for those families to continue to exist, just like the Qi family.”

Because Qiao Mu was sure that the death of his grandchildren did have nothing to do with the Qi family, he naturally would not take his anger too much, just killing the evil ones.

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

If you resist, it will only depend on your fate.

It depends on who is lucky and can avoid shooting.

"Yes, I'll go now."

When Xiao He heard Qiao Mu say this, he breathed a little relieved. He was worried that Qiao Mu would be so angry that he would be implicated directly, 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 talk to. As long as it was not implicated, he would be much easier to handle the matter.

Seeing that he responded, Qiao Mu did not waste time and directly sent someone to give Xiao He the military talisman used to mobilize the firearm camp, and let Xiao He execute it.

Of course, the military talisman given by Qiao Mu was not very complete. The military talisman she gave Xiao He could only mobilize the soldiers of the firearm camp to do things that Qiao Mu had sent someone to pass on the orders before, as for others, such as doing extra things, or rebellion.

That is impossible.

The firearm is so powerful.

Beware of this, Qiao Mu still needs to do it.

Things went smoothly afterwards.

Qiao Mu didn't know if Xiao He's mouth was so eloquent or if he really had such a strong deterrent power. Anyway, Xiao He almost didn't shoot and caught the person Qiao Mu wanted, and also confirmed his identity, and even sentenced them to death successfully. However, none of them were cut off because they all committed suicide in prison, either drinking poison or hanging themselves.

Qiao Mu also understands this.

Not too delving into it.

Because it is quite common for officials to go to prison and commit suicide at this time. Don’t say that officials who have already confirmed their crimes will definitely die, they are not confirmed. Some of them will commit suicide after being imprisoned for a long time or are afraid of committing suicide.

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 exceeds that of other dynasties.

When Xiao He came back with the military talisman that could mobilize the soldiers of the firearm camp, he also handed over the military talisman of the Northern Army to Qiaomu. This thing was asked by Qiaomu to ask him for from the Qi family, but he would never dare to keep it in his hand for too long. If he kept it for a while, he might be afraid of it.

So as soon as the matter was completed, the Northern Army military talisman was obtained and they immediately brought it to Qiaomu.

That really didn't dare to delay at all.

Qiaomu was naturally very satisfied with this.

Not only did he praise Xiao He, he even added a thousand more fiefs to him.

This reward is definitely a lot.

After all, at this time, some of the marquis themselves may not have a thousand households in total, but Xiao He directly added one thousand households this time.

How is this reward not good?

But Xiao He may not be very happy.

Because he is actually not short of money because he has the position of official positions and titles. It doesn’t matter if he has more than one thousand households, but now he has been branded as Queen Mother Lu because of these thousand households and has begun to be rejected by the nobles in the court.

But he can do nothing.

I can only admit it.

This kind of clever plan is the most difficult to deal with.

No matter how clever he is, he will have no choice.

Qiao Mu didn't care much about how Xiao He was struggling. After she got the military talisman of the Northern Army, she immediately began to adjust the Northern Army. The first thing was to split the Northern Army and divide the original 50,000 soldiers of the Northern Army into three parts, two parts, each with 20,000, and one with 10,000.

One of the 20,000 soldiers still belonged to the original Northern Army, and the other 20,000 soldiers formed a new Western Army. As for the remaining more than 10,000 soldiers, Qiao Mu then split up a part from the Southern Army, filled it up, and gathered 20,000 soldiers to form the Eastern Army.

At this point, the Fourth Army of Southeast, Northwest and Northwest were established.

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

It is divided into Chang'an and guards Chang'an.

In addition, Qiao Mu also made great mobilizations to the officers of various major armies, and replaced all the officers of the other three armies except the Southern Army with his own confidants. Later, because there were not enough confidants, Qiao Mu followed up with a group of people from the three armies.

Use this to stabilize the three armies.

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

The military power is in control, no one is worried.
