Chapter 108 The Aftermath of Disturbance

Morning the next day.

Although Li Shimin only conducted a strict inspection of Chang'an City after noon yesterday, he did not raise the butcher's knife at anyone.But as soon as the news of the coup came out, people panicked.Ordinary people are fine, even if the rights are changed, it will basically have no impact on them.

But these court officials were different.

Those who can participate in the early court are basically the fifth-rank officials in Chang'an.When officials reached this level, they more or less participated in the battles between princes.At this moment, these people are all uneasy.No one knew what Li Shimin's attitude towards them would be after he won.It's about life and future, so they can't help being nervous.

For a moment, the madness in the hall became a little dignified.

Li Yuan finally arrived late.In the meantime, the face was full of exhaustion, and he didn't look like he had slept well all night, and the bloodshot eyes were very obvious.Helped by the servant to sit on the dragon bed, with a wave of his hand, the servant took out the imperial decree that had been prepared long ago.

"By God, the emperor's edict said: Prince Li Jiancheng, rebellious and immoral, fought with the same family, conspired with Qi Wang Li Yuanji, intending to murder the Qin king and the people, and take the big position by force. Fortunately, God blessed him, so that his success failed. I specially abolished his reward, and agreed The family members will be handed over to the care of the Secretary, and will be re-examined later. The widow is sick, and the important affairs of the court have more energy than energy. From today on, all the roads in the world and the soldiers and horses in the capital are under the jurisdiction of King Qin Shimin. All government affairs, the world All the people have the right to dispose of it, and the three provinces are extremely obedient. I respect this.”

Very simply, Li Yuan handed over all the military and political power to Li Shimin's hands.

That's not counting, at this time the servant took out another imperial edict.

"Following the fate of heaven, the emperor's edict said: The people of Qin Dynasty have been smart since childhood, and have few talents and virtues. Since Taiyuan, they have fought in the south and the north. They have achieved great fame. They are Chinese and military in the court. Many people praise him as an outstanding person in the world. Now he is the prince. Xuxuan, the Chinese military in the court felt his merits, and many people supported him. The Ministry of Rites chose an auspicious day, appointed him as the reserve, and moved to the East Palace. This is my honor."

If the first imperial edict was just that Li Yuan handed over the rights to Li Shimin, then the second imperial edict was to hand over justice and reputation to him.To put it bluntly, whether it is Li Shimin's persecution or Li Yuan's voluntary at this time, in short, from now on, basically Li Yuan will not intervene too much in government affairs.

Once the power is in hand, the order will be followed.

After receiving the imperial edict from the servant and kneeling down to thank him, Li Yuan dragged his exhausted body back to the inner palace.The rest of the matter will naturally be handed over to Li Shimin.

After all, Li Shimin is a generation of Mingjun. Although his political skills at this time are not as good as in the past, but with the help of a group of staff, he naturally still knows what to do at this time.

A seat was placed next to the dragon bed, and Li Shimin officially began to fulfill his right to supervise the country.

He said to everyone in the hall with a serious face: "Announce to the world, before today, those who have relations with Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, from now on, forget the past. I hope that everyone will perform their duties and act with respect and sensitivity." Goodwill, in order to stabilize the situation in the court, and prevent the struggle between their brothers from destabilizing the management of the entire country.

Hearing the first order issued by Li Shimin, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty breathed a sigh of relief.

"The author chose a site in the palace and built a new palace. The old prince and the family members of the king of Qi were all sent there and kept under strict supervision. The family members are in custody together, and there must be no mistakes." This was Li Shimin's deliberate action, originally he only needed to explain this matter to his personal guards in private.But saying it now has played a big role in winning people's hearts, hoping to shake the loyalty of the former Li Jiancheng's subordinates.At the same time, as soon as this kind of news spreads, it will definitely restore some of his declining reputation, and it can also press the hearts of Li Jiancheng's remnants.

Of course, the effect of this move was really good, and many ministers in the palace looked at Li Shimin with very gentle eyes.

The new official took office three fires, and now the third fire is naturally going to be fired.

"The original laws and regulations, etc., will remain unchanged. The government affairs will be handled by the three provinces, and the military affairs will be assigned to the Tiance government. You can't go against it." After a coup, Li Shimin knew the importance of the army. All of them were handed over to the original department so that they would not feel threatened, but the army was firmly in their own hands, and even if the political situation changed, I would not be afraid.

Obviously, Li Shimin's treatment of Li Jiancheng's remnants moved many people.The most representative ones here are Feng Li and Xie Shufang who fled into Zhongnan Mountain yesterday.As the leaders of Li Jiancheng's troops, these two people are definitely the core figures.When Li Shimin released the leniency policy in the morning, the two returned to surrender in the afternoon.

After all, they fled in a hurry yesterday. Although Feng Li and Xie Shufang were wearing armor, their faces were full of dust, let alone the dust. The black and brown blood stains and mud all over their bodies made them look very embarrassed.

In the main hall of Prince Qin's Mansion, looking at the two kneeling down the steps, Li Shimin was not too excited.Rao, people like Feng Li and Xue Wanche almost put him to death yesterday, and even threatened his family.But at this time, Li Shimin, as a victor, and Luo Yan's persuasion yesterday, even Li Jiancheng's family members were spared, so why should these useful talents not be let go.

But it is still necessary to ask a few questions: "Yesterday you sent troops to fight and killed many of my soldiers, but today you come to surrender, what do you want me to do with you?"

Before Feng Li came, he was already prepared to be killed.Although Li Shimin is announcing to the world that Li Jiancheng's remaining party will no longer be held accountable.But he is different from others, after all, he almost killed people like Li Shimin yesterday.It's strange that Li Shimin can spare him such a festival.Just considering that they were surrounded all the time in Zhongnan Mountain, even if they escaped, they would not be able to escape very far, so they simply came out and surrendered.

"Since I have defected to my master, I must serve him with all my might. I was still a minister yesterday, so naturally I can't let Your Highness go easily." Feng Li didn't have any scruples, so he said what he thought.

Being able to say these words made Li Shimin very admired, so Li Shimin released the two people on the spot and let them go home separately.

Originally thought that the coup d'état would have passed because of Li Shimin's generosity and timely compensation. Who knew, something would happen within half a month.

Li Yuan, king of Lujiang, rebelled.

This matter is the news brought back by Cui Dunli, the coordinator.

Originally, in order to expand the influence of the clan, Li Yuan made all the males over ten years old in the clan kings, and even sent them to various places as high officials.Li Yuan, King of Lujiang, was like this. Although he didn't have even the slightest ability to govern the political army, he was still named the governor of Youzhou.

Li Yuan was also afraid of arranging such an idiot to go there, because the military affairs in the important area of ​​Youzhou were complicated, and it would mess things up.So Wang Junkuo was sent to assist.Li Yuan has always had a good relationship with Li Jiancheng. Since Li Jiancheng was defeated and died, Li Yuan sent Cui Dunli to call Li Yuan back to Chang'an in order to appease Li Shimin and worry about Li Yuan's self-respect.

Who would have thought that it took only a few days for Cui Dunli to come and go, and the news he brought back was that Li Yuan intended to rebel and was beheaded by Wang Junkuo on the spot.

For Li Shimin, this is good news. The rebellion has been eliminated, and his subordinates have shown their loyalty again. It is absolutely gratifying to congratulate.

However, this joy did not last long before it was broken by Luo Yan's appearance.

Luo Yan didn't have the slightest liking for Wang Junkuo.Regardless of Wang Junkuo's birth, when Liu Heita was attacked, Mingshui was fought, although Luo Shixin offered to replace Wang Junkuo to guard Mingshui.But don't forget that when Luo Shixin entered the city, he only brought two hundred soldiers.Then, when Wang Junkuo came out, he didn't leave any extra manpower for Luo Shixin.Both belong to the Shangzhu Kingdom, and both are the Dukes of the country. Compared with Luo Shixin, Wang Junkuo is far behind.

And, don't forget, Luo Yan has a whole "Book of Tang" in his mind, and how Wang Junkuo lured Li Yuan into rebelling in it is clearly written at the beginning.

In order to verify some evidence, Luo Yan also paid a special visit to Cui Dunli.

Fortunately, now Luo Yan is not only Li Shimin's valued staff, but also has a very good relationship with Cui Ying and the others.With Cui Ying's relationship, Luo Yan met Cui Dunli.

Cui Dunli was also very young at this time, only a few years older than Luo Yan.Cui Dunli's ancestor was Boling Cui, who migrated out later, but he has always been in touch with his family, so Cui Ying and the others are also very familiar with each other.

Seeing that Cui Ying brought Luo Yan here, Cui Dunli asked very politely: "I don't know why Luo Xiaoshu came here?" The celebrity in front of Li Shimin, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Luo Yan will definitely be reused in the future.

"Without him, I just want to talk to Cui Sheren about the affairs of Youzhou." Luo Yan said straight to the point without making any moves.

"What's the problem with Luo Xiaoshu? Just ask, and I will tell you everything." Although Cui Dunli was very curious about why Luo Yan was interested in this matter, he still suppressed his doubts and expressed his attitude.Anyway, the court has already reached a conclusion on this matter, and it has nothing to do with me. It would be better to make it clear.

"Dare to ask Sheren, when Wang Junkuo rescued Sheren, was the King of Lujiang already executed?"

"No, the Lujiang King was executed after I was rescued."

"Has the Sheren ever seen the body of King Lujiang? How did he die?" Luo Yan asked immediately.

"I've seen it. According to the traces, it looks like he was strangled to death, but it's unknown if he hanged himself to death." After Cui Dunli finished speaking, he seemed to have remembered something, and his expression changed drastically.

"Today's matter, you all need to keep it a secret. If it is leaked, you will definitely be killed. Remember." Not caring about etiquette, Luo Yan rushed to Qin Palace immediately after warning Cui Ying and Cui Dunli.

　Thank you Xihuang v Fuxi and Fengyue Xingchenluo for their rewards.The second is half an hour late, forgive me, because it is a transitional chapter, it is indeed a bit stuck, please forgive me.
