Chapter 39: The General is on Top and I is Down (39)

Seeing that Yun Duan was asleep, Ling Junxuan gently pulled on a light but warm silk brocade quilt for her, and carefully took a light step, blowing out all the candles in the inner hall one by one, and finally closed the door when he left.

Before leaving, Ling Junxuan glanced at Yun Du again, the wind came in through the crack in the door, gently brushing her soft black hair, and a few strands of hair fell down beside her cheeks, reflecting her fair and clear face even more.

Her eyebrows and eyes were calm, and her sleeping posture was stable, which made Ling Junxuan feel an indescribable sense of satisfaction in her heart. A smile appeared on his lips that he had not noticed, and he went to the imperial study contentedly.

He had to go to the Imperial Study to deal with a series of matters, whether it was the situation on the border in the secret letter that Yundui had brought back, or the current complicated situation in the capital that should be broken.

Although the power of the regent was wiped out at this celebration banquet, this palace rebellion involved hundreds of civil and military officials, as well as collusion with Turkic treason, and everything was just the beginning.

Even if the investigation and liquidation of many things under the regent began early on, and a book of accounts was counted, and there were traces of the officials and henchmen involved who searched their homes overnight, but with the participation of the Turkic side, the situation became more and more complicated.

Now the civil and military officials in the palace have been dealt with accordingly for the time being, and all the follow-up matters of the cleaning and treatment in the palace have also been completed by the Praetorian Guards and the chief eunuchs, whether it is the cleaning of sanitation or the cleaning of personnel, but these treatments are only temporary.

Even the superficially innocent officials are not completely exempt from suspicion, and the remaining people will have to go through more interrogations, and it is also imminent to find traces of the entry of Turkic people in the entire Ling State.

As expected, the defeat of Ling State on the border in the past was also the hand of the regent, even if they knew that they would be slaughtered if they colluded with the Turks, but in order to fight for power and profit, they ignored the people of the world, it was really mad, the crime was unforgivable, and the evil deeds were outrageous, and it was difficult to write a book!

In a sense, clearing out the regent, a dark force that would rather commit treason than seize power, is equivalent to uprooting the bloodsucking vines that have eroded Ling for many years.

After dealing with these bone-eating moths of Ling Guo, Ling Guo will have a brighter and new future with new blood.

Many descendants of Qing officials in exile should send people to bring them back, similar to the eldest son of Qin Yushi's family, and as for others who failed to survive under the poisonous hands of the regent, the list should be cleared out and redressed one by one.

Ling Junxuan was alone in the imperial study to deal with government affairs until midnight, even if he had told the chief eunuch that he didn't have to wait tonight, but many things were too bad, and in the end he still ordered someone to call the chief eunuch, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, Qi Rinzhi, the commander of the capital, Gao Ping, the prime minister, and others to accompany him to discuss.

They held a whole night of impromptu confidential talks in the imperial study, conducted a detailed investigation of the situation inside and outside the palace, and decided on many implementation plans and reform plans.

The liquidation of this palace mutiny was not finished until the early morning of the next day, and the Praetorian Guards disposed of a number of officials in the capital overnight, and the wives and concubines and children in the palace sat together, and the glitz of the past turned into a cloud of smoke in an instant.

For ordinary people, this is only the second day of General Yun, the god of war, returning to Beijing, but for the regent's henchmen who disturb the government and the common people, the change of sky is only a blink of an eye.

Due to the large number of people in prison, the prison was filled all over the place for a while, and in desperation, he could only behead the serious crime at noon the next day.
