Overnight, more than a dozen important bosses from the court were taken down at the same time, their property was confiscated, and their mansions were seized. If they were to cause a huge wave of storm in normal times, they might even shake the foundation of Qin's rule.

However, under the premise that powerful foreign enemies are approaching, and the imperial court has issued wartime control regulations before, one of which is strictly prohibited from hoarding and making wealth in the national crisis.

At the court meeting on the day when these were cleaned up, the young emperor issued a long imperial edict, which roughly means that these people deserve their sins, and whoever dares to imitate these people at such critical moments will also be severely punished.

Song Mu then took out a thick stack of files, which recorded the crimes of these people.

Using power to make money, sheltering unscrupulous businessmen, criticizing and accusing loyal and good-natured are just one of them. There are more than a dozen crimes, and every matter is very detailed.

Obviously, Song Mu took down these people not because he was impulsive, but because he had already prepared for it.

Black Ice Platform must have been secretly targeting these people, but it was only waiting until yesterday to attack.

As soon as these crimes were taken out, the voices of doubt in the court suddenly became much smaller.

Song Mu is so strong and prepared, and there are strong enemies outside. If anyone still feels that he is in a bad mood at this time, he will really hit the gun. It is definitely an old birthday star who is hanged and is impatient to live.

Song Mu was not blindly strong. Although he cleaned up a group of people in the lead, he also announced that he would not pursue the rest of the bewitched people for the time being.

This is equivalent to only punishing the evil ones, and not asking those who follow.

Used to calm people's hearts.

After all, there are a group of gangs behind each of those people. If they really want to pull out the radish and bring out the mud and clean them all up, then there will probably be few left in the Qin Dynasty.

The water is clear and there are no fish, and it is obviously the same in the court.

Killing a chicken to warn monkeys is the norm. If a large number of people are implicated at every turn, then few people in the world dare to become officials.

After this, Song Mu's prestige and power rose to another level.

The little emperor sat on the high throne, looking at the uncle under the steps through the beads on the crown in front of him, who made the ministers and officials silent. His eyes were complicated and his thin lips were pursed, not knowing what he was thinking.

Last night, my uncle Song Mu entered the palace overnight and talked with his mother for a long time before he finally asked me to come and put the jade seal on him. From beginning to end, he was not sure what happened to him, the emperor, and he didn't know until today when he went to court to read the edict.

This is my uncle!

hehe……

A bead curtain was hung next to the emperor's throne, and a figure sitting quietly behind him was the Queen Mother Song who was in charge of the power behind the curtain.

Empress Dowager Song seemed to feel something, her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, looked at her son in front of her, and then turned to her brother under the steps.

Finally, his eyes returned to his son, and he didn't know what he thought of, his eyes became cold.

Song Mu didn't care what his queen mother's sister and the emperor's nephew were thinking, and what would he think of him because of this matter.

Or he no longer cared about their thoughts.

When the enemy is in front of you, only the only thing you can take care of is now.

If the Qin Dynasty is destroyed, there is no need to say anything.

All the emperors and queens, chief ministers and ministers have become the past.

After this thunderous rectification, Chang'an City's preparation efficiency has been greatly improved. There have been fewer people who dare to take advantage of the hoarding and troubled waters, and officials have also been diligent and attentive when doing things.

Similarly, in order to integrate this army of king-supporting troops, Du Feng not only scattered a lot of gold and silver, but also cut off a lot of heads, and he barely put the nearly 100,000 troops of king-supporting troops together.

Others are busy on the surface and panic inside. Only Li Xu is the calmest person. Even though he has nothing to do, he will ride a horse and take people to patrol the city gates. If necessary, he will send someone to scout a house and kill someone.

But I don’t want to get involved in the rest of the matter at all, but I just can hide if I can.

But on the surface, he looked like he was worried about the city defense, fearing that Song Mu would find something for him to do if he saw that he was too idle.

He didn't care about all the defense arrangements in Chang'an City.

With the Tang army's ability to attack, all this Chang'an City has done is basically in vain.

Besides, the city gate is still in his own hands. If it is really not going well to attack the city, just open the city gate and let the Tang army enter the city, and everything will be over.

He was also worried that he had done too much, which would arouse others' suspicion. If he changed his errands temporarily, it would be a little troublesome.

...

In Zichen Palace, the shepherd flute in a big red palace robe stood in front of Empress Dowager Song with her hands hanging down and looking lazy with her hair loose.

"Then are there anything unusual about Li Xu these days?"

Empress Dowager Song held up the glass wine glass with a flying phoenix engraved beside her with her right hand, sipped a sip of the amber-colored cold Western Region wine, and asked.

"Reporting to the Empress, Admiral Li has been traveling between the Admiral's yamen and his mansion in the past few days, inspecting the city gates every day, or sending troops to assist Jingzhao Mansion in maintaining public order and curfew. Apart from convening the generals of the Yulin Guard to discuss the matter twice, he has never met anyone else, and he has not even been to the camp of the King's Army outside the city."

Mu Di replied in a low voice.

"So calm and compassionate? When I started cleaning up the grain merchants and ministers the previous two times, I was very cruel and resolute. Could it be that I really feel at ease to be my brother's confidant thug? Why is this so unbelievable?"

Empress Dowager Song snorted coldly when she heard this and said to herself.

The shepherd flute bowed his head and said nothing.

"Forget it, since he is honest, I will ignore him and continue to be watched. But what's wrong with my second brother?"

Because as originally planned, in addition to drawing troops to support the king from all over the country, part of the 200,000 Qin troops in Hangu Pass in Tongguan were also needed to re-sourcing.

But yesterday, Song Cheng sent people to Beijing to report that it was impossible to draw troops back to aid, because the Wei army, which had signs of withdrawing troops, suddenly became frequent again and continued to provoke the Qin army. Obviously, he also learned about the changes in Qin State, so he wanted to take this opportunity to make trouble.

But Empress Dowager Song always feels that something is wrong.

Although they are all their own brothers, she will not trust them completely.

Song is Song, she is her.

She could not write two characters from Song in one stroke, but she is now the empress dowager of Qin.

Qin is gone, and Song may still be there. But Qin is gone, so she, the empress dowager, will be gone.

Now, there are really not many people she can trust, maybe only the old eunuch with white hair in front of her.

Mu Di raised the white-haired head slightly, and a ray of light flashed in his muddy gaze and quickly shook his head and said, "The dark sand did not find any abnormality. Before, rumors spread in Chang'an City, Wei's spies must have passed the news back long ago. It is normal for the Wei people to take advantage of the situation to rob. If General Song really draws some elite troops back to Beijing, he may not have any care at all."

Empress Dowager Song was slightly stunned when she heard this, looked at the old eunuch who had his head lowered again, and said curiously: "You old guy, you talk too much today. Forget it, keep watching. If this Qin Dynasty is gone, you can accompany me to meet the late emperor, which can be considered as having a companion on the road to Huangquan."

Mu Di looked up, and a hint of longing seemed to appear on his wrinkled old face: "Where is the Empress, the old slave is there, and he will always be with the Empress."
