In the political hall, Li Xu was rubbing his eyebrows.

Today's court meeting has ended, but the headache has just begun.

The Manichaean unrest that had been raging all night was finally over, but the situation left behind was difficult to end.

The Manichaean Sect was beheaded by Yue Guhan on the long street, which directly broke the confidence of the Manichaeans, and soon dispersed, and a group of soldiers and horses from Shuofang Town first attacked the Dayun Guangming Temple and then set it on fire.

The ensuing smoke apparently became an iconic symbol, and with the exception of a few fanatical Manichaeans who were still resisting, the vast majority were targeted by the angry Baiyujing people and the Northern Ya Forbidden Army.

After some tossing, Huang Shiliang finally entered Baiyujing with the Tianwei Army and the Shence Army, which became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

By the time dawn came, most of the Manichaeans in Bai Yujing had already been beheaded, except for a few leaders such as the Venerable Servant Jing Shenghui, the vast majority of the cores had either been captured alive or had died.

The loss of Manichaeism is not nothing short of terrible.

They lost a Pope, a Demon Slaying Venerable, and a primordial Holy Son, the Five Extremes Returning Sect Xiao Hoopoe.

Most of the masters who infiltrated from Mobei became the prey of the four heads of Shaolin Temple and the Wudang elder. Of course, there are many other Jianghu people who have also helped.

With the end of the turmoil, the imperial court also needs to begin to face up to many new problems.

"The matter of transferring troops into Beijing is completely unknown to the old man. Han Gang was still the same old and mediocre style, and he leaned back on a chair covered with Shu brocade cushions, which was also one of his exclusive privileges. When the political hall was deliberating, only Han Gang and the emperor were seated.

"Han Xiangmiao is wonderful, our family admires it. Your Majesty, you should be crowned the king of the county by the Han Xiang, so as not to lose the original intention of the imperial court to set up a famous lord. Cheng Qili stared at Han Gang, his triangular eyes swept over the old prime minister, trying to see the little bit of off-string sound he wanted to know.

Cheng Qili, the lieutenant of the Tianwei Army, was not in Baiyujing because of the transfer of troops and horses, and this kind of dull sense of smell was already faintly accused by the government and the opposition, and even the eunuchs were discussing whether this Lieutenant Cheng had the ability to take over the class of Father-in-law Yu to be the leader of their eunuchs.

"Father-in-law Cheng doesn't want to make fun of the old age, the matter of the sacrifice has been decided by the Ministry of War early. This merit is that the old man wants to change the county king Chitose, so will the Manichaean fanatics also follow the old man's fingers, before the sacrifice, after the arrival of the soldiers and horses in Zhuzhen?"

This is indeed true, Han Gang can command the military department to transfer the soldiers and horses of the foreign domain into Beijing, but the Manichaeans will not listen to his command. If the day of their rebellion is advanced, then it will be a situation where the soldiers and horses of the towns have not arrived. If they delay the day for some time, it means that the soldiers and horses in the towns have been sacrificed, and the troops in Beijing are empty.

Left and right, if it weren't for the Manichaeans who deliberately chose this day, Han Gang would have had no effect even if he deliberately arranged it.

Cheng Qili wanted to continue, he didn't believe that Han Gang didn't have the ability to influence the Manichaeans, and there were many factors that could influence when the Manichaeans would launch.

For example, if Han Gang can influence the food supply of the Manichaeans and make them in a state of scarcity, then it will naturally force the Manichaeans to launch in advance.

Or maybe Han Gang deliberately provided wrong information to the Manichaeans, letting them know that they were going out to transfer troops and that the troops in Beijing were insufficient, inducing them to start an incident in advance, taking the opportunity to fight the Manichaeans off guard, and also tricking us into the old Cheng.

And so on and so forth. Cheng Qili didn't believe that the whole thing could fall on the words "coincidence".

Lieutenant Cheng targeted Han Linggong everywhere, but Li Xu felt indifferent. The so-called "not deaf, dumb, not a family", sometimes it is especially necessary to know the truth that is rare and confused.

It doesn't matter how Han Gang is arranged and how it is arranged. Since his arrangement filled the emptiness of the cases in Beijing and played a positive role in calming down the chaos, he did not hesitate to reward Han Gang for his contributions.

The fact that responsible ministers are so rare can reflect the preciousness of Han Xiang.

As for Han Gang's reluctance to be rewarded, Li Xu can also understand it. If you recognize this merit, the matter of privately transferring troops can be beaten or small, and today you can rely on it to be crowned king, and tomorrow it will be the crime used by political enemies to exterminate the clan.

What's more, it will also attract the dissatisfaction of Yu Fuguo, Cheng Qili, and even the generals of the entire forbidden army system, which will be even more harmful to the Han family.

Li Xu could understand Han Gang's behavior, so he stopped Cheng Qili from continuing to investigate this matter.

"Fortunately, there are so many elites from various military towns, and it is also the destiny of heaven to make mistakes. Li Xu was determined to credit himself that the soldiers and horses of the outer domain happened to be in the capital, and they were also in the city.

I, Li, have been blessed by God, so things are so appropriate. If any of you oppose it, if you question it, it will be to question my destiny and my luck, and we will say this ****.

It's a pity that Lieutenant Cheng doesn't care.

"This matter must be investigated deeply, Your Majesty, if Han Xiang does not know, then he must pass Liu Shangshu of the Military Department to ask about the past, maybe it was arranged by him, and such a person should be used. ”

The world is the stage, and the crown is all the people. Han Gang didn't know that he was acting, and Cheng Qili was acting to seek talents for the country, they were all pretending to be confused, and he could only pretend to be confused with them.

"If you talk about merit, there are a few meritorious people to discuss. Li Xu said to Cheng Qili: "The soldiers who have made meritorious contributions to quelling the chaos this time, get a booklet from the cardinal mansion, reward them according to the system, and give them generous care if they die in the king's affairs." ”

"The slave and maid have already started to do it. ”

"There is only one thing that is difficult to do," Li Xu said with a straight face: "There is a righteous man Yue Gu Han who killed the culprit Balutosa with a sword, how can we decide this merit?"

There are precedents for how these characters in the imperial court system reward merit and how to comfort them, which is troublesome in the future.

The first work in pacifying the Manichaean bandits was, of course, the Chengtian Sword Sect Yue Gu Han, who killed the culprit Manichaea Balutosa on the street, and even sent his disciples to help the officers and soldiers break through the Dayun Guangming Temple, which eventually led to the collapse of the large number of Manichaeans besieging Miyagi.

Yue Gu Han's evaluation of last night's first merit is well deserved.

Then there are the four leaders of Shaolin and the Wudang elder, they joined forces to kill the Wuji Guizong Xiao hoopoe who broke into the palace and assassinated, and then swept the Manichaean masters in the city, I don't know how many people and officials were saved, how to reward this merit can be sad Li Xu.

Shaolin and Wudang are okay to say, it's nothing more than giving some copper silks and getting some titles to reward them. After all, these two factions and the imperial court have a one-and-two, two-and-one relationship. Although one is a temple and the other is a river and lake, it is actually a community with the same interests.

The trouble is Yue Guhan.

This Chengtian Sword Sect has lived in Baiyujing for more than ten years, and no one knows what such a person wants.

The world's first sword is to be hidden and sealed to teach the apprentice, if it is to seek profit, it is by no means such a style.

Originally, it was ranked among the Seven Sects of the Mighty Earthquake Jianghu, and now he has killed Balutosa, and the name of the four words of the Chengtian Sword Sect alone is better than any famous lord in the imperial court.

How can you reward such a person?

As soon as Li Xu's words came out, Cheng Qili and Han Gang also fell silent.
