Chapter 9: The Great Purge

It's just that under Su Ding'an's reminder, Mu Rong quickly realized that in fact, under the current situation, there is another big thing waiting for him to do.

After all, Mu Chaobi has been in control of the palace for many years, and in these years, after Mu Chaobi's intentional or unintentional purge, he has gradually replaced many courtiers who are still loyal to him.

Most of those who stayed were Mu Chaobi's own cronies.

Although he really wants to get rid of Mu Chaobi immediately, the other party is his second uncle after all, and in all aspects, he needs to report to the Son of Heaven, and then the Son of Heaven will make the decision.

Before this, if Mu Chaobi's former subordinates chose to take action at this time and resist, I am afraid that it will quickly turn into a disaster.

He couldn't directly attack the royal family of Mu Chaobi, but these ordinary people ...... Even if he is the Son of Heaven, he can't control himself too much.

"This time, the old minister brought five thousand elites first, and he can completely control the entire palace."

"Now that the traitor has been arrested in one fell swoop, it is time to take action and carry out a cleanup, so that those who follow the traitor will all be severely punished."

Su Ding'an opened his mouth expressionlessly, in his opinion, it seemed that these lives were just some simple numbers, and they were insignificant at all.

"The whole palace, after careful checking by the ministers, there are about 300 people who have something to do with the traitors, plus their families, or the clan forces outside, as well as some local petty officials and cronies, a total of at least 6,000 people."

Ji Chong also spoke, taking out the corresponding evidence he had secretly collected.

More than 6,000 ordinary people......

Now, just one word of oneself is needed to take all their lives.

It was only now that Mu Rong really realized what this so-called royal power was, and he could decide the life and death of many people with a single thought, not only that, but if he was just a little careless, he would let himself fall into the abyss of no return.

"I hope ...... Don't be too merciful. ”

"After all, those people deserve it, and if they are left alone, they will become a greater disaster in the future, if they are ......"

After Su Dingan saw Mu Rong's hesitant expression, he hurriedly continued to persuade him.

In Su Ding'an's opinion, Mu Rong was indeed very smart, and he also took advantage of this excellent opportunity to carefully design step by step, so that Mu Chaobi lost his vigilance and fell into their trap.

But in the end, Mu Rong is still just a child.

The current Mu Rong is likely to choose to let go of these more than 6,000 people because he can't be ruthless, so that they will become a greater disaster in the future.

"If you kill them all, it's naturally unnecessary."

"I don't like the punishment of sitting together, but of course it is impossible not to have no way of dealing with those people."

"Arrest all the main participants, and behead them all for public display, and as for the rest of the people......"

"In fact, over the years, I can also roughly understand them, in this palace, the second uncle is the biggest force, and they must rely on the second uncle to be able to save the lives of their families."

"If you don't actually do evil, you should be imprisoned and punished, but it is not necessary to kill them all."

"If we don't deal with it, it's easy to leave a disaster, but if we deal with it too much, it will cause panic in the entire territory, people will be jealous of us, and many courtiers will be further unwilling to be loyal to us."

"Itself...... This is our family matter, but it affects innocent people, and this is where I should accuse, and Lord Lao Jichong, help me write a letter of guilt and tell everyone. ”

In the end, Mu Rong also chose a means that could achieve both grace and power.

After hearing Mu Rong's arrangement, Su Dingan also nodded slowly.

"It's very good, it's not too gentle, it's not that nothing has been done, indeed, the combination of grace and power can better stabilize the overall situation."

After Su Ding'an and Ji Chong left, Mu Rong let out a sigh of relief, and then half lay on his chair.

As a result, there are only a few things left to clean up and deal with.

The biggest threat to him, Mu Chaobi, who also coveted his throne and wanted to completely subvert everything, had been defeated by himself.

It's just that I don't feel too relaxed in my heart.

Even if there is no Mu Chaobi, he can only say that he is safe for the time being.

He still has to inherit the position of King Mu, and he is about to become King Mu at a young age, and the life and death of everyone in this territory in the future will be controlled by his own thoughts.

In particular, I don't have any understanding of the current Son of Heaven.

And according to his own understanding, since ancient times, as the Son of Heaven, he must be afraid of those royal families who have their own power.
