Regarding the disposition of Duke Levi's family, the Holy Emperor also maintained a tolerant attitude. [No pop-up novel network] ww.free novel portal {debut} just stripped the brothers of their titles, demoted to commoners, and then imprisoned in prison. At the same time, he also removed Duke Levi from his position in the military, took back the royal business controlled by Li Weikang, and disarmed his private family. For the rest of the Li family, the debasement should be degraded, the exile should be exiled, and the army should be confiscated. In short, adhering to such a principle, only raid the family, and do not destroy the clan.

After all, the Li family has too much influence in the government and the opposition, and the founding marshal of the year, General Li, is simply the totem in the emperor's mind, and his god-like image has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and legends about him are also widely spread among the people. In the eyes of the vast majority of the people, the people of the Li family are "loyal ministers and good generals", and if they are exterminated, it is not the will of the people.

In any case, the Holy Emperor's strategy of tolerating the Li family won praise from the government and the opposition. The people said that they used to think that Prince Zhong was a "virtuous king", but they didn't expect it to be all an illusion. Only now did I discover that the Holy Emperor was the real "Master of the Generation". With a big mind and a big heart.

People who can see clearly, such as people like Song Li, naturally know that this is actually just a political strategy. Don't want to kill King Jing and King Kangjun? Don't want to kill the Levi brothers? Just kidding, the Holy Emperor must want to do more than anyone else.

Song Li could tell from the eyes of the Holy Emperor how much he hated these people who participated in the rebellion. From the beginning of the struggle for the throne, Prince Zhong and the Holy Emperor have been entangled for more than 20 years, and King Jing Kangjun Wang and Levi are the vanguard of Prince Zhong, and they have repeatedly caused trouble for the Holy Emperor, saying that the Holy Emperor does not hate them, and the cattle passing by will die of laughter.

It's just that good politicians are always able to let reason harness over emotions. After the chaos, the people were panicked, and if he raised the butcher's knife and killed him, it might exacerbate the panic, and Prince Zhong's henchmen hidden in the government and the opposition were likely to jump over the wall in a hurry and make another incident. Moreover, the infamy after the slaughter of his own brothers and loyal generals is not very good.

The Holy Emperor chose to be tolerant, chose to only shut up and not kill, won a good reputation as a "wise sage" among the government and the opposition, and could also let the empire recover from the shadow of the mutiny as quickly as possible, why not?

Although these traitors are still alive, they can no longer pose any threat to the Holy Emperor.

Song Li felt more and more that the Holy Emperor was indeed not simple. Prince Zhong lost unjustly.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Holy Emperor decisively purged the Li family from the army, which caused turmoil among the troops throughout the country, but these officers had nothing to say. Who let your boss participate in the mutiny, and failed? After clearing the Li family's military power, the Holy Emperor took the opportunity to stuff the descendants he had cultivated into these troops.

From then on, the Holy Emperor could finally sleep peacefully. For the first time, he had the feeling of holding the empire firmly in his own hands.

In the past, Prince Youzhong and the Li family joined forces, and the Holy Emperor always had a sense of crisis that there was a tiger sleeping soundly on the side of the couch, but this time, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

For the rest of the nobles who participated in the rebellion, the living were simply reduced to commoners, imprisoned, and the dead were buried as commoners. Some of the rebel officers and soldiers were treated in the same way.

This is already extraordinarily tolerant, just imagine the royal coup d'état in the history of the empire, which time, the winner wielded a butcher's knife and killed the loser. The scene of the imperial capital flowing into a river of blood is vivid.

Having only locked up and not killed like the Holy Emperor is already a rare kindness. It's just that everyone hasn't grasped the winner's current intentions before, and several two hundred and five nobles who were anxious to pat the horse's ass wrote a letter proposing to severely punish the rebellion, but they were all ignored by the Holy Emperor, and then they realized that they had slapped the horse's legs.

During the period when the city defense army and the guard army were in rectification, the defense work of the imperial capital was mainly jointly responsible for the storm field corps of Wei Qianli and the public security department of the imperial capital. After completing the task, in order to avoid suspicion, the 200,000 army of the war dragon took the initiative to retreat to the south of the holy river without waiting for the Holy Emperor's order.

The Holy Emperor issued a series of edicts again, but this time it was a reward. After all, a coup d'état is like a meeting of robbers, and after it is over, it will naturally be time for the victors to share the spoils.

To everyone's surprise, the person at the top of this commendation order is the name of Wei Qianli, the supreme commander of the Storm Legion.

No matter how you look at it, in this coup, the person who has the greatest impact on the entire battle situation and contributes the most is undoubtedly Song Li.

If he hadn't sent an envoy to Nanzhou, King Jingnan Zhanlong would not have been able to be pulled onto the Holy Emperor's warship, and if it hadn't been for his series of plans, Prince Zhong would not have been fooled, so that he would have informed Zhanlong of the entire plan, so that the Holy Emperor's side had plenty of time to respond. Had it not been for him unleashing a powerful thunderbolt to defeat the black necromancer and incinerate the wraiths, the Imperial City would probably have become a dead city. If he hadn't come to his rescue, Chi Ying and several master guards would probably have been tortured into the walking dead by the poison of the undead.

He didn't know what means he used to wipe out the most mysterious and terrifying base of Prince Zhong, saving the empire from trouble.

Without his good relationship with the Alchemist Guild, it would never have been possible for the Holy Emperor to receive the help of the Alchemist Guild. Because since the founding of the country, the attitude of the Alchemist Guild towards the royal coup has been neutral. This time, he made an exception and made an exception, completely for Song Li's sake.

As for the credit for eliminating the poisoner, it is all insignificant.

That's right, Wei Qianli also performed heroically in the defense of the imperial capital, but his work can be replaced by others. If it weren't for the Storm Legion, but another army ordered to come to the rescue, it would probably not be as clean as the Storm Legion, but it would still be able to defeat the Guard's defenses in the end.

In other words, Wei Qianli's role in this coup is not irreplaceable, but Song Li is completely irreplaceable. Without him, the Imperial City would have been sucked into a dead city by those resentful spirits. Moreover, Wei Qianli is only the executor of part of the plan, but Song Li is the decision-maker and one of the planners of the overall battle situation.

However, on the Holy Emperor's list of commendations, Wei Qianli was listed first, and even the most hardcore descendants of the Holy Emperor were a little overwhelmed.

Wei Qianli was born as a civilian, and climbed to a high position in the army with his extraordinary ability, but his scenery was limited to the army, in fact, he did not belong to the category of aristocratic and wealthy families.

Because he only has a position, not a knighthood.

For people in high society, having a knighthood is the sign that you are in the aristocratic circle. A person like Wei Qianli, who only has a position and no title, is just an upstart in the hearts of the nobles. Even the lowliest baron can despise him.

Wei Qianli has made great achievements in war, and he has never been knighted, in addition to the limitations of his background, of course, there are also the results of those noble-born officers in the army who obstruct him. Grandma, what limelight has been out of you, if you are given another noble status, then we will have no way to live?

With the obstruction of these people, Wei Qianli wants to be knighted, and he really has a long way to go.

However, this coup d'état became his best chance.

The Holy Emperor's commendation order is clearly written: Wei Qianli, the supreme commander of the Storm Field Legion, has made meritorious contributions to the suppression of the rebellion this time, and has been promoted to the left squire of the military department, given the rank of general, and knighted as the Duke of Weiguo.

What made all the wealthy nobles almost lose their eyes the most was that the title of duke that Wei Qianli got was still "hereditary".

Hereditary!!!

Almost immediately, the news sent a gust of wind through the aristocratic circles of the imperial capital.

There are two types of titles in the Holy Lion Empire, hereditary titles and lifetime titles. The title of lifetime title is only granted to the person, and it is not hereditary, and there is no territory, and it is not possible to form a private army. And once he died, the title was naturally canceled.

Generally speaking, such a title is often awarded by the royal family, because the cost is small, only glory, but not much real power.

But a hereditary title is absolutely not easy to be rewarded. A hereditary title means that the feuded person can get his own territory, collect taxes in the territory, and form his own private army, and pass it on from generation to generation. It's like one more country within a nation in the empire. The Holy Emperors of the past dynasties were not stupid, and of course they understood that the fewer such hereditary titles, the more stable their empire would be. Therefore, unless it is a courtier with royal blood and great merit, there will definitely be no hereditary titles.

Otherwise, the more and more hereditary titles are sealed, and more and more territories will be rewarded, and no matter how vast the territory of the empire is, there will always be a day when the seals will be completed.

The war dragon is a living example, because of the merits of the dragon, coupled with the illustrious family background, countless military exploits, and was crowned a hereditary prince by the Holy Emperor. By now, it has almost become a thorn in the heart of the Holy Emperor.

What I didn't expect was that with such a lesson from the past as Zhan Long, the Holy Emperor actually made a hereditary duke of the generals in the army again.

General Wei, who was originally just Bai Ding, became a hot new aristocrat in the imperial capital.

And it's not just a reward for the title, he was also promoted to the left squire of the military department. This is a position second only to the military department Shangshu, that is to say, from today on, Wei Qianli has become the second person in the emperor. （http:／/.）。 According to Song Li's understanding, if the military department Shangshu is equivalent to the defense minister in his previous life, then the military department Zuo Shilang is the deputy defense minister.

As for the rank of general, compared to the first two, it is nothing. However, before that, the emperor only had two general ranks, one was Zhan Long, and the other was Luo Bin, the secretary of the military department. From this day on, the third great general has been born. At the age of twenty-eight, Wei Qianli became the youngest general in the history of the empire.

After each coup d'état, the aristocratic circles of the imperial capital will be reshuffled, some of the old nobles who are on the wrong side will be purged, and the newcomers who will be on the side of the victors will also rise in due course. All discerning people can see that Wei Qianli is one of the biggest beneficiaries of this coup, and from then on, overnight, the name of Wei Guogong will resound in the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital. There is no doubt that he is the rapidly rising political star of the imperial capital.

Wei Qianli also officially replaced Levi and became the new upstart of the imperial side. Although Luo Bin's official position is higher than him, in terms of comprehensiveness, Wei Qianli's limelight has overshadowed Luo Bin. After all, Luo Bin was only a marquis until now. Wei Qianli's title is higher than him. In aristocratic circles, titles are valued more than positions.
