The rebellion in the capital was quelled in less than two days.

This is a rebellion planned by Xiao Shaozong all his life, but it was quelled within two days, and people who don't know the truth only think that this rebellion seems to be nothing, but only those involved know that although it is only less than two days, the danger is extraordinary.

If it weren't for Xiao Shaozong's overconfidence, if it weren't for Qi Ning finding the only way to reverse the situation in a desperate situation, then the outcome of this rebellion would be a completely different situation.

When Emperor Longtai walked out of the Chengtian Palace, many ministers were relieved, but many people were still terrified.

At least many officials led by Dou Kui were terrified, these people not only obeyed Xiao Shaozong's dispatch during the rebellion, but even discussed that Xiao Shaozong would inherit the throne, which was of course an unforgivable crime.

The emperor issued several decrees in turn.

The first decree was to give Qin Chong, the commander of the Xuanwu Battalion who knelt down to ask for sin.

Qin Chong can be said to be the main force of Xiao Shaozong's rebellion, commanding nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses into Beijing to besiege the imperial city, and launched an attack on the imperial city, although the casualties on both sides are not too heavy, but also led to hundreds of casualties, which is of course an unforgivable crime.

After the Xuanwu battalion retreated, Qin Zhong saw the emperor appear, and immediately dropped the war knife in his hand, and was immediately tied up and controlled by the people of Kyoto Prefecture.

Since the founding of the Great Chu, Qin Chong was the first military general to swing a knife to the imperial city, when Qin Chong was tied to the front of the palace, countless officials begged the emperor to severely punish the rebel generals, but to everyone's expectations, the emperor did not order Qin Chong to be killed, although Qin Chong was removed from his official position, but it was only on the grounds that he did not receive the order of the military department to transfer the army without authorization, and Qin Chong was transferred to the remote Xichuan Army to serve in the army, for Qin Chong's family, there was no good involvement, even the soldiers below Qin Chong in the Xuanwu battalion, No punishment was given.

With Qin Chong's guilt, it is a matter of course to raid the house and destroy the door, even Qin Chong himself thought that a catastrophe was coming, so after the emperor gave this will to punish, the ministers only thought that they had heard it wrong, and Qin Chong couldn't believe it.

As for the second will, it is quite interesting.

The Black Knife Battalion also followed into Beijing this time, and has been besieging in the direction of the East Gate, when attacking the city, it was still the Xuanwu Battalion as the main force, but the Black Knife Battalion did not act rashly, not a knife moved, not a pawn was lost, and if it entered the capital and walked a trip, after the emperor appeared, the siege immediately stopped, and the Xuanwu Battalion and the Black Knife Battalion and other soldiers and horses have been quickly evacuated from the capital.

In the will, Qu Yanzhi was not punished, but the Black Scale Battalion, which had been merged into the Black Knife Battalion before, was merged into the two battalions, and it was still under the command of Qu Yanzhi.

As for the third will, it has caused an uproar in the hearts of many ministers.

The culprit will be punished, and the rest will not be investigated.

In the will, the emperor announced to the world that many civil and military ministers and related people who were involved at this time were all deceived by Xiao Shaozong, and everyone was just worried about the emperor's safety, and they would be deceived by Xiao Shaozong.

And except for a very small number of people, the others are in their own positions and loyal to the court.

Many ministers thought that after this rebellion, the imperial court would likely usher in a great purge, but they never imagined that the emperor would be so lenient.

Xiao Shaozong's rebellion ended miserably, in fact, everyone also knew in their hearts that after getting rid of Xiao Shaozong, no one could turn the storm again.

The emperor did not raise a big edict, but he did for the meritorious personnel this time

It's a big bonus.

The first to bear the brunt was naturally the Yulin Battalion of the Imperial City, Chi Fengdian was killed in the rebellion, and the emperor promoted Xu Qing, who had made contributions in this rebellion, to take over the position of commander of the Yulin Battalion, but let Yu Beigu replace Qin Chong as the new commander of the Xuanwu Battalion.

The emperor still did not make public the death of the former Shenhou Mansion of the Shenhou Ximen without a trace, everyone thought that Ximen Wuxian traveled far away, if Qu Xiaocang was still alive, the position of the Shenhou was naturally handed over to Qu Xiaocang, but Qu Xiaocang died in the palace, more than half of the Big Dipper of the Shenhou Mansion was killed and wounded, and Lian Zhen's captain Hongmendao had left the capital not long ago and went to the northwest, so the Shenhou Mansion is now only in charge of the civil and military Erqu.

In my heart, whether it is Han Tianxiao or Captain Wuqu, they have not reached the strength to inherit the Shenhou, because the emperor did not directly issue an order to give the Shenhou the title, but let Han Tianxiao temporarily take charge of the Shenhou Mansion.

As for the relevant personnel such as Kyoto Prefecture, they were also rewarded, but the emperor obviously felt that Tie Zheng's most suitable position was still in Kyoto Prefecture, so he was not promoted, but he gave Tie Zheng the qualification to enter the palace at any time.

But what makes everyone strange is that Qi Ning, who has made great contributions in this counterinsurgency, did not issue a decree to reward him.

For Qi Ning personally, he didn't care what reward the emperor had for him, he was able to see that the emperor was safe and sound, and the capital was calm in a short time, and Qi Ning was already satisfied.

Although Xiao Shaozong's sword did not hurt Qi Ning's vital point, it still pierced between Qi Ning's sternum, although it would not threaten his life, and there was a golden sore medicine from the Shenhou Mansion, but this injury was not so quick to heal, and the others were nothing, but once he stood or sat up, his chest would hurt, and Qi Ning was carried back to the Protector's Mansion from the palace, and for a few days, he was lying on the bed to recuperate.

The soldiers who had blocked the Protector Mansion had naturally withdrawn long ago, and the Protector Mansion had also returned to its former calm, but the more than 200 people in the Mansion were all apprehensive.

During the days of the blockade, except for some people who could go out to buy food and drink under the supervision of the soldiers, no one else could leave the mansion for half a step, everyone was terrified day and night, and no one knew when the catastrophe would come, until Qi Ning returned to the mansion, everyone knew that a catastrophe was invisible, and there was great joy in breaking through the clouds and seeing the light of day.

Tang Nuo finally came back, and he personally helped Qi Ning boil medicine for the past two days, while Ximen Zhan Ying stayed by his side every step of the way.

However, without Gu Qinghan in the mansion, Qi Ning seemed to be missing something, Gu Qinghan and Tian Xuerong went out of Beijing to avoid trouble under the protection of the beggar gang, even Qi Ning didn't know where he was, but he also understood that since the capital was stable, the beggar gang would naturally escort them back to Beijing soon.

At dusk, the old housekeeper Han Shou hurriedly came to report that Yuan Rong, the eldest son of the Yuan Mansion, came to visit.

In fact, there are many people who want to visit the door in the past two days, but Tang Nuo asked Qi Ning to recuperate for a few days, if people come and go, it will inevitably affect the recovery of the injury, it is Qi Ning who asked the old housekeeper to refuse all the visitors, and the officials in Beijing also know that Qi Ning is recuperating from his injury, so he will not continue to come to disturb, but the gifts received in the past few days are piled up in two rooms, Qi Ning does not refuse to come, this time he fought for his life to calm the chaos, the reward in the palace did not come, and there was no psychological burden to receive some ministers' generous gifts.

Qi Ning has been recuperating for the past few days, and although the strenuous movements are still a little painful, there is no big problem in sitting up.

"Let Yuan Gongzi come over!"

When Yuan Rong entered the house, he sighed: "Little grandfather, do you know that our Yuan family was almost killed by you!" ”

Qi Ning leaned on the bed and said with a smile: "I thought you were sending a generous gift, so that I could recognize that you came in, if you came to find trouble, leave now." ”

Yuan Rong walked over and said, "I found you some ginseng and deer antler cordyceps, which are all good supplements, but don't say that I came empty-handed." He sat down on the chair next to the bed and said, "You asked your grandfather to give Tie Zheng that invitation, to pull our Yuan family into the water, if Xiao Shaozong's rebellion succeeds, and the autumn is settled, our Yuan family will be the first to be beaten as your comrade." ”

Qi Ning said: "At the head of the national crisis, the three generations of the Yuan family have received the emperor's grace, and they must always make some efforts." What's the matter, it was Lao Shangshu who asked you to come to me to settle accounts? ”

"Not really." Yuan Rong laughed, and then said: "I heard that you and Xiao Shaozong's stop changed the situation, but it's a pity that I didn't see it, it's a pity." Yes, what about the injury? ”

"It's like a human saying." Qi Ning smiled: "It's not a big deal. How are you in the mood to come over? ”

"It is said that the officials of the DPRK and China came to visit, but you turned them away, I thought that it was still good to have a good relationship with you, so I would not even be locked outside, so I made a bet with someone, 5,000 taels of silver, and bet that I could come in." Yuan Rong smiled: "Fortunately, you gave me back face and didn't let me lose the five thousand taels." ”

Qi Ning stretched out his hand and said: "Take the silver, you relied on me to win the bet, this silver belongs to me!" ”

Yuan Rong's body shrank and said, "The silver hasn't been received yet, where can I get the silver for you?" You have made an immortal contribution this time, and the palace will naturally reward you generously, and when the time comes, you will not be able to spend enough money, and you still care about this mere five thousand taels? ”

Qi Ning sighed: "Anyway, until now, I haven't seen a tael of silver in the palace." ”

"It's weird, too." Yuan Rong said: "It stands to reason that you have made such a great contribution, you should naturally be rewarded, you are already a duke, the emperor naturally cannot crown you as a king, since the establishment of the dynasty, there has been no king with a different surname." Since you can't be crowned the king, the palace should give you more benefits. ”

Qi Ning Nunu mouthed and said, "Pour a glass of water to drink!" ”

Yuan Rong got up and poured a glass of water, brought it over and fed Qi Ning two sips, and then said, "It's okay if I don't reward you, but the emperor actually spared Dou Kui's man." I heard that when the army was besieging the city, Dou Kui actually privately instigated many officials to support Xiao Shaozong to ascend the throne. There is also a group of people who tend to be inflammatory, when the emperor is in danger, one by one he sees the wind and turns the rudder to Xiao Shaozong, and when the rebellion is put down, he writes to cut Xiao Shaozong's body with a thousand knives, hehe..... Sure enough, they are all people who can be officials. ”

"The emperor has a will, how to dispose of Xiao Shaozong's corpse?"

"I heard that the emperor sent someone to bury him properly, although he couldn't enter the royal clan cemetery, he still found a place near the clan cemetery." Yuan Rong sighed: "The emperor is benevolent, unprecedented. ”

Qi Ning said lightly: "This is great wisdom, don't you forget, the Qinhuai army is still fighting in front, at this time, even if the sky falls, the emperor will try his best to stabilize the court." Xiao Shaozong's rebellion this time, if he really wants to be implicated, countless people will be involved, the Son of Heaven will be angry, and millions of corpses will be ambushed, but now is not the time for the Son of Heaven to be angry. Although Dou Kui is two-faced and three-faced, he still has some skills in raising grain and grass, since our army went north, Dou Kui has been responsible for grain and grass logistics, and if he moves, the logistics will be chaotic, and there is really no one who can replace him now! ”
