Chapter 48

And those who still wanted to resist, were vulnerable to Gu Mu's army.

Soon, the head fell to the ground, spilling the last blood of life.

Go to Huangquan with the Queen Mother.

At this point, the mutiny came to an end the moment Gu Mu showed the Tiger Talisman.

For several days in a row, the people shut their doors and dared not go out.

They looked at the blood-stained spire from the yard, still palpitating.

They could not forget that the Regent was once surrounded by thousands of armies, and the world thought he would die.

But he was on the top of the highest tower in the capital, telling the world that since he became the regent, he will always be above everyone!

In just a few days, the streets of the capital have been cleaned up.

The entire capital has returned to peace.

Only the cinnabar-colored spire remembers the history of this coup.

The common people also stepped out of the gate, and the capital can see the prosperity of the past.

Inside the palace.

The little emperor roared at Gu Mu angrily: "You return my mother! You return my mother!"

The little emperor, who had no strength to restrain the chicken, glared at Gu Mu with an expression of extreme hatred, and wanted to pounce on Gu Mu and scratch him with his hands.

But he was stopped by Gu Mu's soldiers.

"Your Highness, do you want to kill him?" Eunuch Cheng looked at the little emperor with a strange look and asked.

Even the emperor can't speak to His Highness like that!

"This little emperor, I can't keep it." Gu Mu leaned on the rocking chair, with the vigorous maid beside him fanning him.

Gu Mu half-closed his eyes, the sun was just right, and the breeze was cool.

He squinted at the little emperor with his eyes, and he didn't pay attention to the little emperor at all, looking very lazy.

The little emperor had no blood relationship with him, it was the empress dowager who gave birth to another man.

Even if there is, it belongs to the original owner and has nothing to do with Gu Mu who came halfway.

If he wants to seize power, the little emperor cannot stay.

Eunuch Cheng also knew this, nodded and bowed to Gu Mu, and respectfully said: "Your Highness is right, then I will take him away."

It must be handled cleanly.

A gleam flashed in Cheng Gonggong's eyes.

"It's not the time yet." Gu Mu said with a smile, "Let him live a little longer."

Just now Gu Mu deliberately said that,
But the system didn't add villain value to him.

I don't know if it will be added after people die.

But this addition is not much.

He really wanted to see if the little puppet emperor could make any kind of moth.

After all, a coup brought him dozens of points.

He, don't worry.

The little emperor's eyes were red, but at this moment, he could only be helpless and furious, but he couldn't get close to Gu Mu at all.

Don't talk about hurting Gu Mu.

He is the emperor!

"You are all against each other! Don't you know who is the Ninth Five-Year Supreme!" The little emperor ordered to those courtiers.

But those courtiers are all Gu Mu's courtiers.

They looked at the little emperor expressionlessly.

If His Highness hadn't asked him to live longer, maybe he would have been dragged to some unknown place by Eunuch Cheng now, and he would have been dealt with without anyone noticing.

At that time, give everyone excuses such as "the little emperor drowned" or "the little emperor died of illness".

Who said no?

But with Cheng Gonggong's method, he should be able to handle it more cleverly, but His Highness is unwilling.

Therefore, every extra second the little emperor lives now is given by His Highness.

But he was ignorant and yelled at His Highness, thinking that this would hurt His Highness.

"Noisy." Gu Mu finally got a little annoyed.

A piece of cloth was stuffed into the little emperor's mouth and blocked the little emperor's mouth.

Gu Mu remembered the allusion of "referring a deer to a horse" recorded in the textbook.

It doesn't matter whether the emperor is the emperor or not, what matters is who has the power.

He smiled lowly.

The sun shines on his face.

The vigorous servant girl shook her fan vigorously.

A group of guards stood respectfully.

Cheng Gonggong stood beside him, bent over, with a respectful expression on his face.

……

The next day,

in the hall.

Gu Mu read out his will.

"...,...,..."

These were all expected results. Those who were loyal to Gu Mu were basically rewarded.

Those who originally belonged to the Queen Mother's Party and later returned to Cheng lowered their heads, blaming them for being on the wrong team. Once on the wrong team, it is almost impossible to be reused for a lifetime.

However, they did not expect that even so, His Highness did not condemn them.

Originally they thought they could save their lives, even if they were to disarm and return to the fields, they were willing to do so.

But His Highness not only did not intend to let them die, nor did he intend to depose them from office.

This is His Highness giving them a chance!
Gu Mu continued to read: "...,...,..."

"Shen Ci, the son of Prime Minister Shen, has made meritorious service in escorting him, and he was named a general."

For a moment, the court was quiet again.

They all thought that, more than a month ago, His Highness punished the prime minister because he was afraid of the high power of the prime minister and wanted to attack the prime minister.

But unexpectedly, this way, the prime minister's son, Shen Ci, was directly promoted.

Although it is said that Shen Ci has meritorious service in escorting, but if he is not His Highness's confidant, how can he know His Highness's plan, and lead troops to attack the city at the right time?
Shen Ci is the son of the prime minister.

Your Highness's promotion of Shen Ci is actually strengthening the prime minister's power in disguise!

They were all deceived. His Highness did not intend to attack the prime minister at all, but was full of confidence, knowing that without the assistance of the prime minister, the queen mother could be brought down.

Therefore, the prime minister was deliberately grounded, which caused the queen mother to launch a coup.

Generally speaking, all officials are satisfied with Gu Mu's measure.

After all, Gu Mu only announced awards, not penalties.

This is probably the most benevolent side of the cruel regent in their eyes.

Nothing else to say but thank goodness.

Those who were loyal to Gu Mu could even sacrifice their lives for His Highness, but they never expected that His Highness did not die, but brought down the Empress Dowager instead, and they followed closely behind.

It's too late to be grateful, so how can you be dissatisfied?

Only the historian...

The old emperor is a wise monarch, but his ability is limited, although he is wise, he does nothing.

But even so, it has also cultivated a group of upright historians.

The scene of the empress dowager's head hanging at the gate of the capital was always in their minds, and it became their lingering nightmare.

They wrote in the Chronicle:

"In the year 239 of the Southern Dynasty, the regent Gu Mu fought with the emperor for power. The regent won a complete victory. He cut off the head of the empress dowager and hung it at the gate of the city. The empress dowager was the emperor's biological mother. Before she died, her eyes were wide open and she could not rest in peace."

History will be passed down from generation to generation.

Ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years.

People in the world read Shiji and know that the regent in the historical period of 239 years in the Southern Dynasty was extremely cruel, regardless of principles and laws, and deviated from justice.

The historians held their pens, looked at the contents recorded in the historical records, and showed gratified smiles. They "truthfully" restored the history, and the regent who was recorded by them will definitely be remembered for thousands of years.

"It seems that you are well aware of the truth that good people don't live long, and disasters last a thousand years." Gu Mu appeared behind them at some point, with a casual tone.

But the historians were so frightened that they stopped their backs and froze in place, breaking out in a cold sweat.

 Thank you Gong Jing and Yi for your reward
