The whole family of villains criticized her wildly, but the princess treated her with medical treatm

The coup was successful and evidence of treason was obtained from the political opponents.

Mu Tingxue acted cruelly immediately.

Some people will always be a problem if they don't handle it cleanly.

"Your Highness, the eldest princess of Jihu committed suicide with a dagger in the Ancestral Temple of the Xie family."

The subordinates came to report.

"understood."

Mu Tingxue let out an inaudible sigh.

Even if Li Fan was guilty of treason and had his whole family executed, according to the law, the eldest princess would not be executed. She would not have to die.

But she couldn't accept that her husband, whom she loved deeply all her life, turned out to be the biggest national thief. Many relatives around her participated in treasonous acts, leading to the fall of the border city. My aunt is a strong-willed woman. She feels that she has no face to face the emperors and ancestors of the Xie family.

The whole family of Li family and the whole family of Nangong family were all cut off, and countless heads were chopped off.

Yundu is a sea of ​​blood.

Mu Tingxue showed no mercy to the leading families of political opponents, but she did not choose to kill all the other officials and families who were attached to the Leaving Party, especially those who did not conflict with her Qi State during the coup.

Some people must be eradicated cleanly, while some people cannot be eradicated too cleanly.

The Li family has a two-hundred-six-year-old foundation, and the trees are big and deep-rooted, and the roots are intertwined. If all the disciples of the Li family in the past two or three hundred years, old and descendants, close friends from far away and close friends from aristocratic families, are killed without mercy, then all the people inside and outside the imperial court will not be spared. It is estimated that at least half of the noble officials will die!

Prevent the killings from being too widespread, the persecution being too severe, and the desperate attempts to jump over the wall.

Mu Tingxue pardoned a large number of middle-level and lower-level officials, as well as civil servants and military ministers who had more or less connections with the party, and announced: "Everything ends here!"

A successful coup does not mean you can rest easy.

She must let the three provinces, six ministries and nine ministers, and let the big machine of the country resume operation as quickly as possible. If more than half of the machine parts were chopped off, she would no longer need to be an empress.

It turns out that she was right.

After a series of operations, the leaders of the political opponents were eliminated, the turmoil completely subsided, and Mu Tingxue quickly stabilized the situation.

At the same time, she also quickly rehabilitated the Yan family, the Qin family, and the Cui family in Zhaoxue, pardoned them from the Zhao prison and the Tian prison, restored their surnames and reputations, and restored their post as official!

The relatives were all moved to tears.

Many of them were scarred.

"Feel sorry."

Mu Tingxue looked at the golden marks on the faces of her uncle and two brothers-in-law, and felt a pain in her heart, "I still made you feel wronged."

She thought of a way to see if there was any special solution for tattoo removal in modern times and brought some over.

It would be bad if I went to court in the future and looked over at the Jinluan Palace. The faces of all the dear ladies have the golden seal of sin and shame...

"No grievance, just a little patience. His Majesty rescued us quickly."

My brother-in-law is indeed a brother-in-law and has changed his mind.

"Your Highness" and "Your Majesty" are only separated by one word, but they are vastly different.

Mu Tingxue handed a letter to her second brother-in-law: "It's from Zhaoyi."

Qin Chuan took the letter with trembling hands. When he saw his son's familiar handwriting, he burst into tears instantly: "This bastard."

Mu Tingxue said: "Zhaoyi provided evidence of leaving the party and treason. He has endured humiliation and performed a great service. I have ordered him to return to the country as soon as possible."

She glanced around her relatives and found that the most seriously injured person was not her second brother-in-law, but her cousin Yan Renqing.

He was pale and his hands were bandaged and stained red.

"What happened to your hand?"

Mu Tingxue was suddenly confused. She stepped forward and checked Renqing's cousin's hand. She found that all of his fingers were broken and the bones were shattered. "They used severe punishment on you?"

Yan Renqing looked at her quietly, a pale smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and there seemed to be a glimmer of light in the beautiful Ruifeng eyes.

Qin Chuan choked in pain and said: "It's all useless to me, Renqing took it on my behalf. Li Fan originally ordered my hands to be smashed, but Renqing didn't know what he said to Li Fan, which made Li Fan furious. , personally used a hammer to break off his fingers one by one, and cursed him for being...is..."

"Call me the son of a prostitute."

Yan Renqing, on the other hand, looked calm, "My hands are of no use, and they will be useless once they are used up. Master Qin's hands can make many useful machines for my cousin."

Mu Tingxue looked at the wolf cub intently.

She didn't expect it.

Cousin Renqing, who had no sense of belonging to the Yan family, once wanted to poison his uncle, and even had bad intentions towards Yan Yang, actually risked his life to save his second brother-in-law in Zhao Prison!

"I went to the market entrance to see the beheadings. The heads of those named Li and Gao were squirting out like tomatoes."

A bright, relieved smile appeared on Yan Renqing's lips.

That was the happy smile of revenge.

Mu Tingxue suddenly realized.

Does Yan Yang hate the Yan family the most?

I'm afraid not.

What he hates the most is Li Fan and the head of the Gao family who single-handedly trained the courtesan Hongye, used her, squeezed her, and made her life worse than death! Yan Xi was ordered by his grandmother to sever his relationship with Hong Ye and his property was confiscated. Why did Hong Ye return to Xiaoxiang Shuiyun Pavilion and become a low-level prostitute? He died of syphilis from constantly picking up customers. This was not a masterpiece of leaving the party! They just wanted to fill the young Renqing with hatred, and they never regarded Hongye as a human being.

Mu Tingxue looked at Yan Renqing's hands and decided to bury the secret of this wolf's poisoning forever in her heart.

The next day.

In front of the majestic Jinluan Hall, a high platform of Zen was erected. Thousands of golden lights penetrated the dark clouds and illuminated the mountains, rivers and land.

Xie Xuanchen, with a pale face, loudly recited the third decree of abdication: "I am young and virtuous, and my sins are unforgivable... Heaven has given me a great responsibility. The eldest princess is more virtuous than Yao and Shun. She obeys nature and responds to people, relieves the people, and has made great contributions to the world. Today, I only hope that the imperial sister will ascend to the throne soon and rule all the nations. Thank you for this!"

Below, the dark crowd of civil and military ministers were prostrate on the ground, shouting in unison: "I respectfully invite the eldest princess to obey the rules and come to Dabao!"

"I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen, long live! Long live! Long live!"

Mu Tingxue felt happy and smiled with satisfaction.

She took over the Emperor's Imperial Seal and the Zen Edict from Xie Xuanchen, with a bright sky in her eyes: "I have inherited the will of God, and there are thousands of people petitioning me. From now on, the name will be changed to Yuan Tianxi. Xie Xuanchen will be granted the title of Duke of Xincheng." .”

In name, he was made a duke.

But in fact, Xie Xuanchen was imprisoned in the palace from then on, and no ministers saw him again.

There are rumors among the palace people that the deposed emperor... Oh no, Duke Xincheng is crazy. He wears a woman's colorful clothes and a phoenix hairpin all day long, smiling crazily in front of the bronze mirror.
