December 18, 2nd year of Guangqi.

Li Rupei entered the capital Chang'an.

The capital city of Chang'an has long been controlled by the Iron and Blood Army, and Gao Chibang sent 10,000 soldiers of the Iron Blood Army into the capital and controlled all the key places.

The civil and military officials in the capital already knew that the emperor was taken away by Yang Fugong, and it was said that he went to Fengxiang, and the strange thing is that except for those officials who were particularly loyal to Yang Fugong, the rest of the people did not mean to leave the capital, and even some officials still insisted on going to the official office after the emperor had left the capital, and honestly stayed in the official office.

When Li Rupei entered Chang'an, all the civil and military officials were waiting outside the Daming Palace, where they were waiting for the arrival of His Royal Highness King Fu, since the emperor had left the capital, then it was His Royal Highness King Fu who presided over the situation in the capital.

Li Rupei, escorted by many personal soldiers, passed through the streets of the capital.

The street is very calm, with the strict grip of the iron-blooded soldiers, the lives of the people in the capital have not been disturbed in any way, of course, the people are not allowed to go out, after all, Li Rupei's safety is the first.

When they came to the outside of Daming Palace, the civil and military officials all knelt down.

The queen mother took all the concubines and princes of the harem and waited outside the Daming Palace, and it was already the Iron Blood Army that guarded their safety, and they did not receive Li Rupei's order, and the soldiers of the Iron Blood Army naturally wanted to treat these people well.

After Li Rupei dismounted, he walked straight towards Daming Palace.

The black people outside the Daming Palace didn't have a trace of sound.

It was at this time that the queen mother stood up, holding the emperor's edict in her hand, and spoke loudly.

"His Royal Highness King Fu, this is the emperor's edict of abdication, and the emperor will cede the throne to His Royal Highness King Fu......"

The appearance of this voice shocked everyone. Even Li Rupei stopped and looked at the queen mother holding the edict in her hand.

In fact, Li Rupei didn't think about what to do about Li Yi's concubines, after all, he is not exactly a person of this era, if he wants to kill or distribute the prince, and secretly kill Li Yi's concubines, he is not ready to do such a thing, but it is definitely inappropriate to let these people continue to stay in Daming Palace, how to deal with these things. That was not something he was considering, naturally Cui Anqian and others came to arrange it, but the abdication edict taken out by the queen mother was a bombshell, which instantly made the surrounding air freeze.

Cui Shenyou has seen the world, stepped forward quickly, knelt down in front of the queen's mother, and took the edict.

Cui Shenyou looked at Li Rupei, who was standing in place, and resolutely opened the edict. Begin to read it out loud.

Except for Li Rupei and the soldiers around him, everyone knelt down.

The abdication edict was not written for a long time, but the meaning was very clear, and the emperor decided to cede the throne to the blessed king Li Rupei.

After the abdication edict was read. Cui Shen came to Li Rupei in small steps and knelt down.

"Greetings to Your Majesty, Long live Your Majesty, long live Long live, long live......"

This time, even the personal soldiers around Li Rupei knelt down.

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live......"

Li Rupei never thought about it. In this way, he became the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and in this way, he stepped on the pinnacle position, that is, on the day he entered the capital Chang'an. According to his previous thoughts, he will support Li Yu for a period of time, and then find a way, anyway, the imperial court is under his control, but these procedures are all omitted, don't worry, he has become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and the abdication edict written by Li Yu himself made him, the emperor, justifiable.

Maybe Yang Fugong, who kidnapped Li Yi to Fengxiang, never dreamed that such a scene would occur, once this news spread, the Shence army around Yang Fugong would quickly collapse, and the feudal towns in the north would also fall into a state of panic.

This is the best situation, of course Li Rupei will not refuse, let alone pretend to excuse himself, being able to reach the highest peak of Datang is his wish, and he still has a lot of things to do.

With this abdication edict, the iron-blooded army can temporarily slow down, stabilize the eastern capital Luoyang and Henan Mansion, stabilize the capital Chang'an, and then come to plot the northern feudal towns, I believe that in this process, those northern feudal towns that understand things will take the initiative, and Li Rupei will also seize such an opportunity to let some feudal towns perish on their own, after all, what Bing Feng pointed out, it is still the common people who suffer, and the remaining problems that are finally pulled down are still to be solved by him.

Walking into the Daming Palace, there were countless eunuchs kneeling in the black.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live......"

These eunuchs did not dare to walk out of the Daming Palace, and after Yang Fugong held Li Yu hostage and left, these eunuchs fell into despair, they did not know what their fate would be in the future, and their status could not be compared with before.

Looking at the eunuchs kneeling on the ground, Li Rupei shook his head lightly, he needed to speak, after all, behind these eunuchs, there are also families and even families, and these eunuchs are waiting for him to speak, whether they are dead or alive is his words.

"I know what you think."

Li Rupei shook his head slightly, he suddenly became the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he still needs time to adapt, everything will change in the future, including the attitude towards people and things, etc.

Li Rupei would not have thought that his calm attitude would give the civil and military officials behind him an extraordinary understanding, and no one would have thought that the emperor could be so calm, without the slightest sense of complacency, and his gestures were so steady, after all, the emperor was not very old.

"I once hated eunuchs interfering in politics, but this eunuch interfering in politics, I can't completely blame you, from now on, I have made a rule, eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics, all matters involving government affairs, matters of the court, eunuchs are not allowed to participate, are not allowed to discuss, violators will be immediately beheaded, Shangshu Province will set up an iron monument in Daming Palace and the palace tomorrow, and the eunuchs shall not interfere in politics, this iron monument must be passed down from generation to generation, so that future generations will remember."

"As long as you don't break this iron law, I can save your lives."

After Li Rupei finished speaking, he raised his feet and walked in the direction of the Xuanzheng Palace.

The officials behind him, looking at the eunuchs who were still kneeling on the ground, couldn't tell the feeling of their hearts, from now on, the eunuchs' interference in politics will disappear completely, as for the eunuchs' domineering things, they don't exist anymore, the emperor has set this rule, I'm afraid it won't take long for the eunuchs to disappear, just imagine, who will do things that have no money and no right to hurt the body.

Walking into the Xuanzheng Hall and looking at the dragon chariot above, a trace of light burst out of Li Rupei's eyes.

In the past, eunuchs served the emperor, but the eunuchs of Daming Palace all knelt outside, because the emperor had not yet asked them to get up, and no one dared to get up.

Li Rupei let out a long breath and slowly walked towards Long Yuan.

There are not many people who can enter the Xuanzheng Palace, Gao Chibang, Cui Shenyou, Wang Shenzhi and Zheng Yanchang and a few others, followed by Li Rupei's personal soldiers.

When they sat on the dragon chariot, Gao Chibang and the others knelt down again.

"Cui Shenyou, let all the civil and military officials outside come in, I have something to say."

After a while, the Xuanzheng Hall was full of civil and military ministers.

"You are all the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty, the capital Chang'an is the center of the Tang Dynasty, and you can't stop running, otherwise the Tang Dynasty will fall into chaos, and the officials below the fourth grade, in accordance with the original requirements, continue to act in government affairs, and wait for the imperial decree of the imperial court.

"I can not blame the past, but one thing you must understand is that what I am most unaccustomed to is the greed and domineering who rely on power, officials who do not do things for the court and the people, what I think of every day is how to make money, how to seek benefits, such officials, not only will they be eliminated, but they will also be punished, no matter what official position you used to have, if you find this kind of situation, you will be severely punished."

Li Rupei has become the emperor, and the dormitory is naturally in the Daming Palace.

However, there are still some things that need to be dealt with, very specific things, such as the queen mother and those concubines and princes, the eunuchs kneeling outside, etc., how to deal with these things, Li Rupei does not have so much patience.

He handed over all these things to Cui Shenyou to deal with.

Next, he needs to think about it, since he has become the emperor, then maintaining a huge central organization and maintaining the normal operation of the Tang Dynasty is the most important thing, the appointment of officials above the fourth grade, he must hold it firmly in his hands, which no one can shake, followed by the stationing of the Iron Army, the problem of the northern domain, and his uncle Li Yi, who has abdicated, these have to be considered.

Of course, the most important thing is to let the officials of the Southern Province Daxingtai Mansion come to the capital quickly.

Li Rupei's first edict quickly headed towards Xiangyang, but unfortunately there was no way to stamp the jade seal on his edict, because the jade seal had been taken away by Yang Fugong.

Xiangyang, Nanfang Province, Daxingtaifu.

Although the Spring Festival is approaching, Cui Anqian, Zheng Congyan and others have no time to think about it, and they pay close attention to the news from the capital Chang'an.

Li Rupei's edict arrived in Xiangyang, and both the palace and the Daxingtai mansion were a sensation.

Cui Anqian, who had already made all the preparations, immediately began to act.

Everyone in the palace must go to the capital, Li Rupei has become the emperor, then everyone in the palace will enter the Daming Palace, followed by all the officials of the Southern Dao Daxingtai Mansion, except for a few people who are left behind, the rest of the people have to go to the capital Chang'an, Li Rupei is already the emperor, and there is no need for the Southern Dao Daxingtai Mansion to exist, and then it is to inform the Jiedu envoy that after arranging everything, they will quickly set off for the capital, and they must meet the emperor in the fastest time. This is a procedure that cannot be avoided.

On December 23, all the people of the palace were escorted by the Iron and Blood Army and headed for the capital.

On December 25, the officials of the Daxingtai government left Xiangyang and headed for the capital. (To be continued......)
