Standing on the wide and bustling streets of Chang'an, at a glance, the layout of Chang'an City is like a chessboard. The streets are as straight and criss-crossed as the lines on a chessboard.

The streets are still bustling with people, and the bloodshed and change of leadership that took place a few days ago have had little effect on these people.

Walking slowly on the streets of Chang'an, I didn't realize that I came to the West Market.

As the largest commodity circulation area in Chang'an, the daily flow of people can be regarded as the largest. The area around the West Market is mostly inhabited by ordinary people, so daily necessities are mostly sold.

Slightly stunned in front of the West Market, Zhang Yunwen remembered that he seemed to have never visited the Datang market.

touched the money bag on his waist, and there were two gold cakes in it, so he strode into the West Market.

As soon as I entered the West Market, I saw that the flow of people inside was denser, shoulder to shoulder, almost to the point of "waving my sleeves into clouds and sweating into rain".

Walking in the West Market, I saw various signboards lined up on both sides of the road. From time to time, there are shouts, bargains, silk and bamboo singing and dancing, mixed together, very lively.

Suddenly, Zhang Yunwen saw something shiny hanging outside a shop, transparent, very much like glass.

Curious, he took the thing in his hand and examined it carefully.

"This boy is really a good eye! Look at the texture of this crystal, this transparency, it is definitely a good crystal! As soon as Zhang Yunwen picked it up, a young man in green clothes came up to him.

I looked at the crystal at the crowd outside, and indeed, the transparency was excellent.

After pondering for a moment, he said to the little guy, "Do you still have such crystals here?" ”

The little guy hurriedly grinned and said, "Childe is really in the right place, there is only one shop in the entire West Market that can take out such two crystals!" ”

Zhang Yunwen's heart suddenly changed, could it be that this crystal is very expensive?

Sure enough, I saw that after the little guy took out another crystal, he said to Zhang Yunwen: "A total of two and three!" ”

You must know that although the Tang Dynasty experienced the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, after two years of recuperation, the price at this time was not high, and a bucket of rice was only 30 yuan. Now, these two crystals will be collected 2,300 years ago, which is really a bit expensive.

Zhang Yunwen glanced at the little guy and turned to leave, ignoring the little guy's desperate shouts behind him.

After wandering around the West Market for a while, he left the West Market.

Out of the gate of the West Market, Zhang Yunwen couldn't help but smile bitterly: "There were two golden cakes when I went in, and when I came back, there were still two golden cakes, this money can really stand up to spending!" ”

The high price bankrupted Jang Yunwen from the idea of making a telescope out of crystal. However, that didn't stop him from wanting to change his gear.

Just as he was about to make a big move, the court issued a new appointment.

On April 28, Qin Qiong, the protector of the Qin Palace, was appointed as the general of the left guard, Cheng Zhijie was the general of the right military guard, and Wei Chigong was the general of the right military guard.

On the first day of the fifth month, Gao Shilian was the servant, Fang Xuanling was the middle secretary, Xiao Yu was the left servant, the eldest grandson Wuji was the secretary of the ministry, and Du Ruhui was the secretary of the military department.

On the third day of the fifth month, Yu Wenshi and the middle book order, Feng Deyi was the right servant; In addition, the former Tiance Mansion soldier Cao joined the army Du Yan as the imperial historian, the former Zhongshu Sheren Yan Shigu and Liu Linfu were the Zhongshu Shilang, the deputy leader of the left guard Hou Junji was the general of the left guard, the deputy head of the right guard Zhang Yunwen was the general of the right guard, the left Yuhou Duan Zhixuan was the general of Xiaowei, the deputy guard Xue Wanche was the general of the right leading army, the deputy leader of the right inner division Zhang Gongjin was the general of the right Wuhou, the head of the right prison gate Sun Anye was the general of the right prison gate, and the deputy leader of the right inner division Li Keshi was the general of the left and right armies.

At this point, the main positions of the entire Tang Dynasty were all arranged in the Qin Palace, and Li Shimin completely controlled the military and political power of the Tang Dynasty.

For Zhang Yunwen, it was really unexpected to be able to catch a right guard general. This right guard general is a general from the third rank, a general who holds the military power, and for a young man who is only eighteen years old, this burden is really a bit heavy.

Li Shimin sat in the East Palace, looking at the map of the Tang Dynasty inch by inch, and stroking this map seemed to touch every part of the country. He is a little high-spirited, his eyes are set on the northern Turks, the western Tuyuhun, and the eastern Goguryeo, whether it is the Yang Emperor of the former Sui or the father emperor on the top of his head, let them see how they have laid down this country, how to expand the territory of the Tang Dynasty to the four poles, and how to create an unprecedented prosperous era! At the same time, it is also necessary to let the world see that it is far stronger to hand over this empire into your own hands than in the hands of Li Jiancheng.

Packing up the fierceness of his heart, Li Shimin looked through the recital. However, the more I looked at it, the more angry I became, most of these concerts were reports and exposing the former prince's henchmen, and many of them were flatterers.

"The minister asks to see His Highness!" At this time, a voice came from outside the door.

"Come in!"

After Wang Gui entered the Hall of Xiande, he looked at the new prince in front of him who was dealing with the recital, and his heart couldn't help but have a complicated emotion. However, he covered it up very well and said to Li Shimin: "Your Royal Highness, although the imperial court issued a pardon decree to pardon the former prince's party, many of them have doubts and are uneasy, and some people are actively exposing the former prince's party in order to ask for rewards, so there are still people in the former prince's party who are worried and panicked!" I ask Your Highness to issue a decree of pardon for the crown prince, announcing that those people will be exempted from their crimes and let them come out to serve the country! ”

Li Shimin threw a few copies of the recital in his hand to Wang Gui, Wang Gui looked at it a few times, and couldn't help but say angrily: "This kind of practice is really a villain!" ”

Li Shimin said: "Don't be angry with Wang Qing's family, this kind of fly camp dog is not enough!" Lone issued a decree of the crown prince, ordering that all the people in the former East Palace be exempted from responsibility, and no one was allowed to denounce each other, and violators were punished for false accusations! ”

Wang Gui immediately knelt down and thanked: "Thank you for the kindness of the prince!" ”

On the fourth day of the fifth month of the seventh year of Wude, Li Shimin issued a decree of pardon for the prince, and the people of the original East Palace came out to serve as officials in the imperial court.

At this point, Li Shimin completely controlled all the forces of the original East Palace.

Just when Li Shimin's side was flourishing, Li Yuan was much older when he stayed in the deep palace.

Not long after Li Shimin was appointed as the crown prince, Li Yuan gave Pei Lin and others a handwritten edict and said: "I should add the honorific title of the emperor." He expressed his thoughts of abdication and inner meditation.

On May 12, Li Yuan issued an edict to revoke the residence of the Tiance general, which was concurrently held by the crown prince Shimin, to prepare for Li Shimin's accession to the throne.

On May 27, Gaozu promulgated a book to pass the emperor's throne to the crown prince Shimin, and he was the emperor himself, still living in the main hall of the Inner Palace - Taiji Palace. Li Shimin resolutely refused, but Gaozu did not allow it.

On the second day, May 28, Li Shimin will ascend the throne.
