The fifth day of July
A sudden imperial edict instantly caused huge waves in the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty!
"Prince Li Jiancheng and King Qi Li Yuanji led troops into the palace with the intention of rebelling! Fortunately, King Qin Li Shimin escorted them in time and eliminated the rebellion with all their strength... I personally named Li Shimin the prince and assumed the throne in the East Palace!"
As soon as this imperial edict came out, how could those people who had been in the officialdom for a long time not smell something different in it?
For a moment, the whole of Chang'an was in panic.
Even the people who were drunk at Xiao Han's house yesterday were like dogs chasing them. They pulled off their horses and galloped back to Chang'an. They didn't even notice when the red cloth on the trees on both sides of the road disappeared.
As for the original die-hard loyalists of the Prince and King of Qi, after hearing the news of their deaths, they hurriedly packed their bags and fled, never daring to return to the capital.
Li Shimin did not stop these people at all.
After coming out of the palace, he immediately went to take over the defense of the Ministry of War and Chang'an City after regaining his composure.
At the same time, with the help of Fang Xuanling and others, people who had been prepared long ago were placed in various key positions in the officialdom.
Since ancient times, it has been an extremely difficult problem to complete the transfer of power without shaking the foundation of the country!
But this time, under the careful consideration of Xue Shou and other advisers, and because Li Shimin did not rush to proclaim himself emperor immediately, the people of the Tang Dynasty still acquiesced in the ownership of this power.
After all, King Qin's reputation and various previous heavenly omens had planted this idea in their hearts, so it was not too difficult to accept it at this time.
The sixth day of July.
Feng Li and Xie Shufang were captured by the Chang'an garrison, Xue Wanren died in battle, and Xue Wanche fled to Qinling without trace.
The seventh day of July.
Regardless of the dissuasion of those around him, Wei Zheng rushed to Chang'an resolutely and went to meet Li Shimin with a death wish.
Just when everyone thought that Wei Zheng, once Li Jiancheng's number one adviser, was about to die.
On the evening of the same day, Li Shimin unexpectedly issued a message through the Ministry of Rites:
In this rebellion incident, the first culprit has been executed, and the others can be forgotten!
At the same time as the decree came, Feng Li and others who were imprisoned in the prison were released and all officials were reinstated.
Even Wei Zheng, who had suffered numerous secret losses for the King of Qin, also became a royal censor and participated in government affairs.
At this point, Chang'an officialdom finally breathed a sigh of relief.
They knew that this change of power would only be concentrated at the top and would not have much to do with them, so as people's hearts stabilized, various ministries and offices gradually resumed operations.
The seventh day of July is the Qiao Qiao Festival.
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, although there were also stories about the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, it did not evolve into a festival similar to Valentine's Day in later generations. Instead, according to the classics, it was still regarded as a festival for women to pray for ingenuity and dexterity.
After wandering around Chang'an for several days, Xiao Han, who was mentally and physically exhausted, finally returned home on this day.
It's a pity that he didn't have time to watch the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl dating on both sides of the Milky Way, nor did he listen to the chirping of the magpies who built the magpie bridge.
Instead, he fell asleep as soon as he got home.
As for the outside world, seeing his village owner back safe and sound, Zhuangzi's heart was stabilized.
In the past two days, there have been countless rumors about Chang'an, which made Zhuangzi, who had already made an evacuation plan, even more uneasy. A large part of the reason why Xiao Han came back this time was to reassure people. This Zhuangzi is his
Where hard work lies, there is no room for sloppiness.
It was late at night, and in a room with big red characters for happiness posted on it, Xue Pan, already dressed as a young woman, gently waved a cattail leaf fan and slowly fanned the sleeping Xiao Han.
At this time, although the hot June days have passed, the hot autumn weather is still too hot to make it difficult to sleep.
"That's enough... stop killing people..."
Quietly looking at Xiao Han in his sleep, Xue Pan just showed a sweet smile, and suddenly saw Xiao Han, whose eyes were still closed, mumbling something inarticulate, and then waved his hand and put it on the gauze tent.
.
Xue Pan shook his fan and gently moved his hand back.
The mosquitoes are very strong at this time. If you lean against the screen, you will get several red envelopes in a short while.
"Hey, you don't like those things in the first place, why do you have to participate in it this time?" Xue Pan sighed softly, but it was a pity that Xiao Han could no longer hear it in his sleep.
At the same time, inside the East Palace.
Li Shimin, who has been appointed as the prince, has not fallen asleep yet. He is sitting at the table with a haggard expression, reading the news from all parties.
"Hou Junji advised me to eradicate the roots and kill all the children of Yuanji and Jiancheng. But Xiao Han said that it was not necessary at all. Maid Guanyin, what do you think we should do now?"
After handling the last piece of business, Li Shimin finally stretched himself and asked his eldest grandson on the side tiredly.
The eldest grandson stepped forward, reached out and gently rubbed Li Shimin's forehead, and asked softly: "I wonder what the reasons are for both of them?"
"Huainan King Liu An!" Li Shimin slowly opened his eyes, his voice a little stiff.
The eldest grandson nodded lightly. Although Li Shimin's words were vague, she had been familiar with poetry and books since she was a child, so she naturally knew about Huainan King Liu An.
During the Han Dynasty, Liu An's father Liu Chang rebelled and failed and was exiled.
When he learned that Liu Chang had passed away, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty felt sorry for himself, so he made Liu An the King of Huainan, and he could inherit it hereditary.
Unexpectedly, instead of repaying his kindness, Liu An decided to rebel in order to avenge his father.
Although this rebellion failed in the end, it still brought a lot of trouble to the Han Dynasty at that time!
"This is what Hou Junji said. Then what did Xiao Han say?" Changsun asked again.
"He said..." Li Shimin sighed and said: "He said that if I want to be a good emperor who will be remembered in history, I must never touch these things again! There is no way for Jiancheng and Yuanji, but if I want to kill him again,
After all, we can’t stop the world’s long mouth, nor can we stop the historian’s ruthlessness in writing.”
"What do you think, Erlang?" Changsun said warmly while gently rubbing Li Shimin's temples.
Li Shimin opened his eyes and glanced at his eldest grandson, sighed and said: "Although I promised my father not to use weapons rashly! But your brother also said that if the identities of these people are exploited by some people, they will always be the same.
It’s not a small trouble…”
"Haha..." Hearing Li Shimin talk about his worries, the eldest grandson behind him suddenly chuckled.
Li Shimin was stunned and asked strangely: "Why are you laughing?"
Changsun covered his mouth and said: "I was laughing at you for being so smart, why have you reached a dead end now? Since Xiao Han said so, why don't you hand over all these people to him?"
Li Shimin looked happy when he heard this, but soon hesitated: "Is this okay?"
The eldest grandson looked at his husband and replied with a smile: "What? Isn't it good?"
