Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji died one after another, and the dozens of cavalry guarding were also killed by the guards of the Qin Palace, led by Wei Chi Jingde, who surrounded them.

"The big thing has been accomplished, I'll go and ask for your majesty!" Wei Chi Jingde held a long lance, covered in blood, and murderous.

A big battle outside the Xuanwu Gate soon spread to the palace, and Li Yuan, who was playing with the harem concubines, suddenly changed his face when he heard the news.

hurriedly summoned the palace guards, but as soon as the palace guards came, they saw Wei Chi Jingde and others leading the crowd to break directly into the palace.

Wei Chi Jingde's armor was drenched in blood, and the long lance in his hand swept away, directly slapping the two palace guards who dared to block the way, and then went straight into the main hall.

The other palace guards were taken by its murderous aura one by one and did not dare to stop it.

Wei Chi Jingde rushed forward directly, and Li Yuan was shocked when he saw it: "Who is making trouble today, what are you going to do?" ”

Wei Chi Jingde said directly: "The crown prince King Qi raised troops to make a rebellion, and the King of Qin raised troops to kill him. ”

"Please give an edict to Your Majesty, and order the soldiers and horses of the world to obey the orders of King Qin!"

Li Yuan was shocked, and now he still doesn't understand where his eldest son, Li Shimin, has done it, and has successfully killed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.

Although Li Yuan has more than 20 sons, there are only four sons-in-law, except for one son who died young, there are only the crown prince, the king of Qin and the king of Qi, and now the crown prince and the king of Qi have all been killed, and the only one who is qualified to inherit the throne is Li Shimin.

Even if he is no longer dissatisfied with Li Shimin, at this point, the situation is irreparable. Even if he dares not to agree today, tomorrow it will be rumored that the crown prince King Qi rebelled and killed the king, and the King of Qin put down the rebellion.

Li Yuan's heart turned a thousand times, but he didn't dare to delay at all, and said directly: "Okay, this is exactly what I have always wanted, to order the King of Qin to command the soldiers and horses of the world and quell the rebellion." ”

After getting the edict, Qin Qiong immediately sent it to Li Shimin with the edict, and on the other side, Wei Chi Jingde was still guarding Li Yuan with a helmet and armor.

After getting the edict to transfer troops, Li Shimin immediately sent someone to transfer the Xuanjia Army and Yulinwei outside the city into the city, at this time he learned that the prince was killed, and the prince guards immediately began to attack the imperial city, but the imperial city was tall, and the prince guards had no siege equipment, so they couldn't break the imperial city for a while.

On the other side, the Xuanjia Army and Yu Linwei quickly rushed to the imperial city, and after seeing that the siege was hopeless and the crown prince was dead, the two thousand prince guards scattered and fled in a blink of an eye.

Li Shimin took control of Chang'an as quickly as possible, and killed all those who dared to resist. Then he sent envoys to post notices to the people, and at the same time inspected Chang'an, and killed all those who dared to take advantage of the chaos to burn and kill looters.

In less than an hour, Chang'an regained stability.

At the same time, after learning that the King of Qin had killed the crown prince, Wang Xuanjing immediately stepped forward and began to appease the officials of the East Palace.

After the officials of the East Palace learned of the death of the crown prince, they were in chaos in an instant, some people shouted for revenge, some people had no masters, and some people wanted to flee Chang'an, and the entire East Palace and the Qi Palace's mansion were already in chaos.

Wang Xuanjing made a direct move, and soon gathered some guards to calm down the panicked crowd. Wang Xuanjing told everyone that the crown prince was dead, and the army of the king of Qin had taken control of Chang'an, and he would listen to him if he wanted to live, and he went to negotiate with the king of Qin in person with a guarantee of his life.

In this way, the East Palace settled down.

Wang Xuanjing saw Li Shimin and said to him: "Your Highness has won, the world is at your fingertips, and I ask Your Highness to forgive the people of the East Palace." ”

The generals of the Qin Palace's mansion said one after another: "Your Highness has done everything to eliminate evil, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, you should kill all his cronies and confiscate his family property!" ”

"Ridiculous! The first evil has been killed, if you want to implicate other party henchmen, this is not a way to stabilize the world! Wang Xuanjing scolded loudly: "The prince has made friends with many ministers in the court, if he is killed, he will implicate thousands, Chang'an will inevitably be a river of blood, the Tang Dynasty is unstable, do you want to destroy the Tang Dynasty?" ”

Li Shimin immediately ordered the generals to stop the pursuit and killing, and asked Emperor Li Yuan to issue an edict to grant amnesty to the world. Responsibility for treason is limited to Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, and no other party members will be investigated.

After the edict was issued, the people in Chang'an City suddenly relaxed.

With the end of the turmoil, Chang'an City quickly returned to normal, as if nothing had happened, but the court had changed greatly.

Li Shimin became the crown prince as he wished, and the court that originally supported Li Jiancheng changed greatly in just a few days, and they expressed their support for Li Shimin.

After all, the vast majority of people in the court are just grass on the wall, not to mention that Li Jiancheng is dead, they can only support Li Shimin.

On the other hand, the subordinate officials of the East Palace were demoted one after another, and only a few officials were appointed by Li Shimin.

Among them are Wang Xuanjing and Wei Zheng.

Li Shimin was made the crown prince, and Li Yuan entrusted all the power of the court to Li Shimin, so the subordinate officials of the Qin palace began to quickly enter the court.

Cheng Zhijie, Qin Qiong, Wei Chi Jingde, and Wang Xuanlie were appointed as the generals of the left and right Wuwei and the left and right Wuhou generals respectively, commanding Chang'an and the whole country. The military power has been firmly grasped by the crown prince Li Shimin.

Gao Shilian was appointed as the servant, Fang Xuanling was the Zhongshu Ling, the eldest grandson Wuji was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Xiao Yu was the left servant, and Du Ruhui was the secretary of the military department.

At the same time, Li Shimin also ordered that from the first year of Wude, all the officials who had been exiled because of their outspoken persuasion should be released, and those who did not have a title of civil and military officials above the fifth rank would be given a knighthood, and those below the sixth rank would be given a first-class knighthood.

The civil and military officials got the benefits and soon settled down, and the ministers wrote to the prince that he was wise and ruled the world.

After the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs was bribed, Li Shimin ordered the world to be exempted from taxes for another year, and a series of benefits were given, plus the prince's subordinate officials successfully controlled the court and military power. The effects of the Xuanwumen Revolution quickly dissipated.

Li Shimin successfully controlled the Tang Dynasty.

Guanzhong quickly regained stability under Li Shimin's rewards and punishments, but news of the Xuanwumen Revolution also began to spread to other parts of the country.

In Youzhou, when he learned that the crown prince Li Jiancheng was killed by Li Shimin, Luo Yi, who had always been close to the prince, became panicked.

You must know that he has done too many things that have crossed the line with the prince, and he is also an important military force used by the prince Li Jiancheng to deal with Li Shimin.

Luo Yi, who had a heavy army, didn't believe that Li Shimin would let him go at all, and he didn't believe the officials who came to appease him at all.

Seeing that Li Shimin was in control of Datang, and that he was about to clean himself up next, Luo Yi decided to strike first. At this time, Luo Yi was stationed in northern Xinjiang and secretly sent people to contact the Turks.

Then he agreed with the Turks to go south together and defeat Li Tang, and the Turks, who had been blocked in the northern Xinjiang, were overjoyed and immediately agreed.

On 19 August, the Turkic army moved south.
