An hour had passed since Liu Hong fell into a coma. When Dou Miao learned that the young men of the Northern Army, the Imperial Guard, and the Imperial Guard Camp had completely taken control of the palace, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Although the emperor's coma was caused by overwork, it was still very necessary to prevent some people with ulterior motives from taking advantage of the situation to cause trouble, control the palace, and protect the emperor's safety. After all, these people were now the emperor's men, and Dou Miao felt much more at ease with them around.

The palace gradually calmed down, but the Yangqiu outside the palace completely let itself go.

Inside the Sili government office, Yang Qiu listened with a stern expression as his subordinates reported on the arrests.

"Reporting to the captain, all the individuals mentioned in this memorial have been apprehended, totaling fifty-six people!"

"Very good, well done!"

Yang Qiu nodded in satisfaction, then took out several more lists.

"Li Li!"

"Your humble servant is here!"

"I order you to immediately take your men and arrest all the people on these lists."

"promise!!"

When Li Li took the list, he couldn't help but gasp. It turned out that all the people on it were the ones they had been keeping an eye on, as well as some upright officials who had spoken out against injustice.

"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and go!"

Seeing that Li Li did not make a move, Yang Qiu's eyes widened.

"promise!"

Li Li didn't dare to ask any more questions. He immediately led a group of eunuchs away from the Sili government office. He then distributed the lists to his captains and split up into several groups, heading in different directions within Luoyang.

Yang Qiu sat inside the Sili government office, looking at the empty hall. A cold smile appeared on his usually stern face.

In addition to the officials mentioned in the memorials sent to him by Dou Miao, Yang Qiu also planned to completely eliminate those officials whom the emperor had previously instructed him to secretly arrange for to be eliminated at an opportune time.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Qiu planned to carry out a major purge of officials throughout the Sili region, arresting all those who were incompetent or dissatisfied with the emperor. Since the emperor was currently in a coma and the empress dowager had his backing, he naturally had no qualms about doing so.
