Temple of Manna.
Li Shimin leaned back on a rattan chair, he no longer roared or roared.
It was as calm as water, just sitting and watching the clouds roll in the sky, letting the guards go in and out, reporting the progress of the mutiny to Fang Xuanling.
Fang Xuanling sat in the Ganlu Hall and gave orders from time to time.
Wu Meiniang is now the emperor, and she has not stopped holding the red pen.
All kinds of emperor's edicts were written by her, and then Fang Xuanling stamped the national seal and the seal of the Chinese book.
Afternoon.
The eldest grandson Wuji, Du Yan, and Li Jing entered the palace again, and this time there were other prime ministers Yu Wenshi, Gao Shilian, Yang Gongren, Qu Tutong, Zhang Gongjin, Wei Zheng, Kong Yingda, and Dai Guan.
Except for Zaifu, who is not in Beijing, the twelve in Beijing are now in the palace.
In fact, Qu Tutong didn't want to come, but Li Jing said that he definitely wanted to see the emperor, and Qu Tutong still came.
As for Yu Wenshi and others, they didn't know that such an earth-shattering mutiny had occurred, and they didn't know that the sky had changed when they entered the palace.
Fang Xuanling presided over the Imperial Council.
The emperor was still sitting at the door of the temple, looking at the clouds in the sky outside the hall.
Qu Tutong looked at the emperor and was also stunned.
Wei Zheng stayed in prison for half a year, very haggard, but seeing the current situation, he didn't know how to say it with his mouth wide open.
Who would have thought that Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji would actually launch a coup d'état But that's just the way it is.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the turmoil should be over."
Fang Xuanling said.
"Now that the situation in Gyeonggi has been brought under control, the next step is to immediately send an envoy to Jiankang to welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince into Beijing.
In addition, envoys were immediately sent to read His Majesty's edict to all sides, and all localities were ordered to withdraw their troops from the armistice and fighting. ” Wei Zheng looked at the emperor at the door and always felt ridiculous, but if things could end in such a way, it would be very good.
At the very least, there is no need to kill suicide again.
"A certain approval" Wei Zhengfu must be the first to express his position.
Kong Yingda also agreed, and he, a bachelor of Hanlin, also squatted in prison for a period of time.
Emperor Li Shimin also saw through it, and it was not bad to let him abdicate with dignity.
Qu Tutong said dissatisfiedly, "Discuss these in front of Your Majesty, are you still human ministers?"
"You have the way, from the heart, and be loyal.
Jun has no way, cut it down" Wei Zheng said very politely.
"The people are the most important, the community is secondary, and the king is light."
When he said this, Qu Tutong had nothing to say.
Yu Wenshi, Yang Gongren, and Gao Shilian are all dying and old, and at this moment, they also know that it is a foregone conclusion, so what is the use of opposing it at this time.
"Wei Xiang, you will personally go to Jiankang to announce the edict and welcome the crown prince," the eldest grandson Wuji asked.
Wei Zheng did not shirk, "I am very honored" Next, the prime ministers reached an agreement and agreed to welcome the crown prince into Beijing, let the emperor abdicate, and pass on the crown prince.
Then it was decided that from now on, Hanjing declared martial law.
The palace guards were replaced, and the northern and southern offices of Gyeonggi were also to be replaced, and the garrison was adjusted.
Jiangnan, Jiankang.
Zhang Chao waited with an uneasy expression.
Yesterday he received a letter from Han Jing, Ke Qing said that the Second Xuanwumen Rebellion would begin immediately.
Calculate the time, it has been launched this morning, if it succeeds, then it will definitely have to control the palace and the capital in one day, if you can't get control, especially the emperor, then it will be a failure.
The night was deep, Zhang Chao didn't receive the letter, and he couldn't sleep at all.
"Husband, you don't sleep so late" Zheng Wanyan got up in her clothes and saw that Zhang Chao was still sitting by the window, with a jar of wine on the table.
She has the impression that her husband is not an alcoholic, let alone sitting by the window drinking alone in the middle of the night.
"You go to sleep first, and I'll sit down later."
At this moment, how did he sleep?
If Hankyung's side succeeds, it will be a huge change.
There is no need to fight this civil war, but the struggle will certainly not end there.

It's just that the battle between the north and the south has turned into a battle above the court.
He can now almost understand the reason why Fang Xuanling and Eldest Sun Wuji rose up to mutiny, in order to protect Datang.
They are worried that after he led the southern army to defeat the emperor, the prestige of the Tang Dynasty will drop greatly, and he Li Chao's power will increase greatly, if there is no Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji in the court, then the court and the central government will be his Li Chao's people, the prince is still young at that time, if he Li Chao wants to usurp the Tang Dynasty, who can stop it, who will protect the Tang Dynasty.
Now the Hanjing mutiny. succeeded, the Hanjing court is still there, the court still has hundreds of thousands of troops, and the prince's entry into Beijing is completely different.
Fang Xuanling and eldest grandson Wuji, hey, in fact, I never thought of winning the Tang Dynasty.
Not in the past, not now.
But no one believed him.
Li Shimin thought that he was going to rebel, and now Fang Xuanling's eldest grandson Wuji does not believe him.
The sky will be bright.
There was a sound of footsteps.
"Taishi, Han Jing is in a hurry."
Zhang Chao suddenly came to his senses and quickly got up.
As a result, I sat for too long, my legs were numb, and I almost fell.
Rubbing his legs, he came outside and took the letter.
With the light of the lantern of the messenger butler, Zhang Chao opened the letter.
This is a plain letter, no secret code.
A sweep will make you clear.
"The overall situation has been decided," Zhang Chao couldn't help but shout in surprise.
"Great" Zhang Chao was completely sleepy, and he didn't have time to change his clothes, so he walked out with his slippers.
"Where is the Taishi?"
"Go to the prince."
The prince was surprised when he heard that the prince had come to see him at dawn. got up in his clothes and came to the living room to see Zhang Chao in pajamas and slippers, and was very surprised.
"Teacher, what happened, could it be that Li Ji has already invaded Guangzhou?"
"Your Highness, do you remember what I told you about the Hanjing conspiracy, Fang Xuanling, the eldest grandson Wuji, and Li Jing launched the Xuanwumen Rebellion early yesterday morning, and they have already controlled Your Majesty and the entire Gyeonggi.
Now they are sending Wei Zheng to Jiankang to welcome His Highness back to Beijing and ascend the throne. ” "The big picture is decided" Cheng Qian was stunned.
"Is this true?"
For a long time, his face flushed with excitement.
"So what are we going to do now?"
"Your Highness, pack up and prepare to enter Beijing."
Zhang Chao smiled and said to Cheng Qian.
"I don't go to Ezhou, I don't go to Dongting Lake" "There's no need for it" Lingnan.
Li Ji looked at Zhang Zhongjian's subordinates, who were still holding on to the city, and showed a victorious smile.
It is also remarkable to be able to persist until now under the banner of his Li Ji.
It's a pity that after all, it can only be held until now.
Several Guangxi militiamen who came to reinforce Cangwu were all intercepted by him halfway.
With only 8,000 defeated soldiers in the city, Zhang Zhongjian has been able to hold on until now, which is indeed good, after all, Li Ji is several times his strength, and there are cannons pulled from the rear.
Cangwu is far inferior to Guangzhou or important towns like Guizhou and Hezhou.
The artillery bombarded and the city was destroyed again and again, and the defenders finally could no longer hold on.
"Let's break through" Zhang Zhongjian looked at the remaining 5,000 remnants of the army, and reluctantly ordered.
Li Ji has always left him with no siege, which is to force him to retreat.
He has always insisted on not retreating, knowing that as soon as he retreats, he will fall for Li Ji.
But now, if we don't withdraw, we will be completely annihilated here.
"Let the brothers have a full meal, and then break out and return to Guangzhou" Outside the city.
A scout came to report.
"Marshal, we heard the sound of slaughtering livestock in Cangwu City, and the rebels are estimated to flee."

Li Ji laughed, "Run, let them escape, it's good if they escape, we will chase them to Guangzhou City." ” If you really want to be surrounded to death, Zhang Zhongjian will fight the trapped beasts, and those thousands of people can still cause a lot of trouble.
And the sky is not down, and the reinforcements from Guangxi are still rushing to this side.
At the same time, Zhang Chao has already transferred several troops and horses back to reinforce the siege, and Li Ji can't spend too much time in this city.
He needs to go to Guangzhou immediately.
Zhang Zhongjian is not his ultimate goal, there is no need to fight him here.
He had already left a way for Zhang Zhongjian, but it was a pity that Zhang Zhongjian still held on for so long and wasted so much of his time.
In the afternoon, Zhang Zhongjian led 5,000 remnants of the army to open the east gate and led the army to break through.
Li Ji did not intercept it head-on, but sent troops to strangle him from both sides, and try to eat some of Zhang Zhongjian's soldiers and horses.
Even if Zhang Zhongjian was allowed to escape, he could not be allowed to bring too many soldiers back to Guangzhou.
"Okay, now that Zhang Zhongjian has escaped, it's time for us to chase after him.
Bite them, chase them, there is no time to rest," Li Ji said.
Run away and chase after you.
Li Ji pursued closely, and Zhang Zhongjian didn't even have time to settle down and rest.
A few days and nights, when he fled to the city of Guangzhou, Zhang Zhongjian had 5,000 soldiers and horses, and only more than 1,000 people remained.
Li Ji also only has more than 10,000 forwards running the fastest.
Seeing Zhang Zhongjian's more than 1,000 people fleeing into Guangzhou City, Li Ji sneered.
"Finally hit the city of Guangzhou, prepare to set up camp, and wait for the army to come."
"Dashuai, this Guangzhou city is so big."
"What's the big deal, can you stop us?"
On the same day, Li Ji's rear army arrived one after another, gathered more and more soldiers and horses, and began to surround the gates of Guangzhou.
"Dashuai, someone in Guangzhou City went out of the city and said that he wanted to see Dashuai."
"Do you want to delay time by negotiating?"
Li Ji said disdainfully.
Li Ji decided to meet.
Under the tall city walls of Guangzhou.
Li Ji saw the visitor, but it was his acquaintance, Zhang Chao's eldest son Zhang Jing.
"Nephew to see Shibo."
Li Ji nodded at Zhang Jing, "I didn't expect you to be in Guangzhou."
Nephew, what are you doing here?"
Zhang Jing took out a letter, "Shibo, this is a letter from Han Jing just now. ” "Hanjing's letter" Li Ji was skeptical and took it.
After reading it, his face was ugly.
"Okay, you're a boy, you're young, but you're treacherous with your father.
Don't you think that with just such a letter, I will believe you."
The nephew just informed Shibo that if Shibo didn't believe in his nephew, it would be fine, just wait a day or two, and the nephew believed that Hanjing would definitely have a letter delivered to Shibo's camp.
When the time comes, Shibo will be clear. ” After Zhang Jing returned to the city, Li Ji stood there stunned for a long time.
"Dashuai, this letter can't be true, right?"
"Of course it won't be true, it's just that they want to delay the army, and they want to delay the time so that they can wait for reinforcements."
"Prepare for the siege of the city early tomorrow morning.
The more they drag, the less we give them this opportunity. ” Back in the camp, Li Ji began to discuss the attack plan with the generals.
While talking, someone reported that there was a flying letter in Hanjing.
A flying pigeon express letter from Hanjing.
The emperor's handwritten edict was stamped with the seal of the state and the emperor, as well as the seal of the Zhongshu Gate, and the seals of the Privy Council and the Ministry of War, and even the signatures of the prime ministers.
The edict ordered Li Ji to withdraw his troops immediately.
The war is over, because the emperor wants to pass the throne to the crown prince, there is no need to fight, there will be no northern army and southern army in the future, and there will be no official army and rebels, they are all a family.
The letter was sent through their special contact information, and there was no false one at all.

Li Ji just couldn't figure it out, but in the blink of an eye, it was this result.
His hard work in the past six months, the blood and sacrifice of the soldiers have been in vain t1706231537:
