Jiuge naturally noticed his actions, and she said to the soldiers guarding the city:

"Your emperor has fled. Are you still going to fight for such a person? I have already laid siege to the city. You know what the outcome will be. Will your stubborn resistance really be of any use?"

"As long as you open the city gates obediently, I will enter the palace and grant you innocence."

While the soldiers defending the city were still struggling, someone inside the city opened the city gate.

Cui Ruxue asked the people in the Marquis' Mansion to open the city gates, and all the people in the Marquis' Mansion, young and old, knelt down and said, "Welcome the new emperor back to the capital!"

Success or failure was already decided, and the soldiers all knelt down.

Jiuge led the soldiers into the imperial city. Joy shone from everyone's face. They had never thought that they would see such a day.

General Zhou sighed, "That's great, our rebellion has succeeded. From now on, I will be the most meritorious official in front of the emperor, hehe!"

Everyone: "..."

When passing by Cui Ruxue, Jiuge said: "Thank you for everything you have done for me."

She corresponded with her while she was out of town and asked her to help her out, and she made the right choice.

Cui Ruxue looked at her cautiously and expectantly, "Are we... still friends?"

In her previous life, she slandered the original owner out of jealousy. Later, Xiao Yue was defeated. She regretted it all her life and worked hard to clear the original owner's name all her life.

In the end, the new emperor cleared the name of the original owner and restored her innocence. She also rested in peace in front of thousands of gods and Buddhas, and she was repenting before her death.

No one is perfect, and everyone makes mistakes, but this is the grudge between the original owner and her, so she said, "I have no say."

Cui Ruxue was puzzled.

……

It was a fact that Jiuge took over the imperial city, and the officials and soldiers in the capital also tactfully submitted.

There were some people who were not tactful. Jiuge needed money to build the country at that time, so he simply had people search their homes. Now everyone behaved themselves.

Xiao Yue and Song Lihua were also captured by the old marquis, and they were pinned to the ground like stray dogs.

"Assholes! You traitors, let me go!"

"Jiang Jiuge! You are a traitor who is plotting to usurp the throne. You will not die a good death!"

Jiuge looked at them and called Cui Ruxue. Cui Ruxue calmly opened the scrolls one after another and said to Jiuge:

"I have recorded all the evil deeds they have done in recent days. Your Majesty, you don't know that they can spend more money than ordinary people can earn in their entire lives on a single meal. This evil concubine spends thousands of taels of pearls on one pearl. Such extravagance and waste is simply a shame for the people of the world!"

Jiuge: "You know what to do."

Cui Ruxue said: "Your Majesty, I know. I will immediately let the world see the true colors of this couple."

Xiao Yue finally reacted, "Cui Ruxue! You bitch! You are the one who has been spreading rumors in the capital that I am not doing my job and not caring about state affairs, and you are also forcing unfounded things on me?!"

"How can this be considered a rumor? I am just telling the truth."

"You! Bitch! I'll kill you!"

Song Lihua didn't expect that she was the one who spread rumors and caused trouble behind their backs. This bitch contributed greatly to their current situation. "You bitch, why did you want to hurt us!"

"I'm just getting rid of harm for the people. Now, it's time to let everyone in the world know what you have done."

……

Xiao Yue and Song Lihua were dragged to the city gate and hung on the city wall with their confessions of guilt hanging on their bodies.

"Oh my god, I don't even have enough food to eat, but they actually inlaid gems on their boats just to travel around. Each gem is worth a fortune, how much food can they buy with it?"

"See? There are also letters between him and the governor. He is the king of a country, but he can't tolerate a general who fought for him."

"It's a good thing these two beasts were overthrown, otherwise they would have extorted so much money from the people, and so many people would have been killed by them."

The two men were hung on the city wall, enduring wind and sun, as well as the curses of the people. Jiuge only ordered people to give them a little water to drink, and nothing else, just wanting them to die in such desperate and painful torture.

They deserved their punishment, and no one among the people sympathized with them. As for Jiuge's rebellion, they called it being forced, and Jiuge's position was legitimate.

She also successfully took that position. Of course, when the world was just beginning to settle down, there were still people who did not submit to her.

Who made it so easy for her to get the position that others dream of?

Another reason why Jiuge came to Kyoto so smoothly was that other people were also dissatisfied with Xiao Yue.

Among them, the great general stationed in the north did not obey him. When the capital fell, Xiao Yue asked them to return to Kyoto to rescue him.

But the great general who guards the country ignored him, which was why Xiao Yue fell so quickly. Seeing Jiuge seize the throne, he started to act like a demon again.

He went to Kyoto under the pretext of "eradicating traitors and rebels", but he didn't expect that the people had just begun to live a good life and didn't want to fight anymore, let alone fight with others because of the tyrant.

So the people cursed him as a traitor, and the general was so angry that he did not listen to the advice of his military advisor and chose to return to Kyoto.

But when he was on his way, the people along the way acted as if they didn't see him and continued to do their own things.

The military advisor asked, and someone answered: "The new emperor said that she only fights for the people of the world, and will not let the people suffer in order to consolidate her throne. If the general dares to hurt a single civilian when entering the city, she will make sure that the general is killed without a burial place."

The military advisor was horrified, but the marching soldiers felt a sense of pride. Isn't this the kind of life they wanted?

Although the general did not see Jiuge, he still felt a chill in his heart.

"I just don't believe that this woman dares to stand in my way."

The farmer from before was not afraid to ask him, "What are you fighting for again, General?"

The general looked at him disdainfully, "She is a traitor who plotted to usurp the throne. Shouldn't someone like her be killed?"

"So you're just going to start a war for that position?"

"I'm not. I'm also doing this for the people of the world. The people don't need someone as disloyal and unjust as her to make decisions for them."

"But we are the people, we don't want to fight, why do you still want to fight?"

"You! Get the hell out of here! Who the hell are you talking to me?"

"Who are you? Why are you in such a high position? If you are only doing it for yourself, then the world will not tolerate someone as selfish as you."

The general drew his sword and wanted to kill the farmer, but was stopped by the military advisor, "General, have you forgotten what she said?"

"She is a piece of shit. Why should I listen to her? I don't believe that if I kill him, she can really cause trouble for me."

He ignored the military advisor's advice and raised his sword to chop at the farmer. Unexpectedly, the farmer said calmly: "You stepped on my crops. The new emperor also said that if you dare to destroy the people's property and crops for your own selfishness, she will not let you go."

The general suddenly laughed wildly, "Hahaha, this bitch, I thought she was so decent, isn't she just looking for such an excuse to fight me? We are all selfish people, why is she pretending!"
