Chapter 1523 Balance
The war is over, and naturally there are many follow-up matters to deal with next.

On the same night, all the dignitaries in Chang'an City came out together and knelt in front of Yuwen Chan, respectfully inviting him to return to the palace to take charge of the situation and take charge of the world again. The head of the Dugu family even said that Yuwen Chan could hold another coronation ceremony to announce to the world that the Great Zhou had been restored.

However, this suggestion was directly rejected by Yuwen Chan, who said coldly, "I ascended the throne three years ago, and the Great Zhou ruled for three years. During this period, there were only a few thieves and clowns who made a lot of noise. But now these thieves and clowns have all been imprisoned. Could it be that Duke Zhao thinks these thieves really were emperors?"

"I will die!" Dugu Luo, the head of the Dugu family, immediately knelt down, because Dugu Jialuo was his sister. The Dugu family was more or less related to the rebellion of the Yang family this time. So after seeing Yuwen Chan's victory, Dugu Luo couldn't wait to find an opportunity to make up for it. He rashly proposed the suggestion of ascending the throne again, but was severely scolded by Yuwen Chan.

"I remember Dugushan led the Cavalry in Xingyang!" Yuwen Chan said dimly, "Dugushan is my uncle, and his mother is also a princess of our Yuwen family, so we are blood relatives. My maternal grandfather killed all my uncles in the Yuwen family, so now there is not even a Grand Clan Leader. Why not let Dugushan come back to serve as the Grand Clan Leader of the court? What do you think, Duke Zhao?"

"This..." Dugu Luo was stunned for a moment. The position of Grand Master of the Imperial Clan was good, but it was unreasonable for an outsider to be the Grand Master of the Imperial Clan. Although the Yuwen family could not find a suitable old man now, if someone with the surname Dugu was the Grand Master of the Imperial Clan, he would not be able to manage the affairs of the Yuwen family at all, so this was destined to be just an empty position with nothing in it.

"But the Cavalry Army in Xingyang is the treasure of the Dugu family. It was trained by the Dugu family and cost countless food and supplies. It is the foundation of the Dugu family. Now Yuwen Chan wants Dugu Shan to come back. Who will lead this Cavalry Army?"

"This little emperor wants to seize the foundation of the Dugu family!" Dugu Luo gritted his teeth, but did not dare to refuse. Although it was the Yang family that rebelled openly, the Dugu family provided a lot of support and help in the middle. If Yuwen Chan really wanted to settle accounts, then the next one to be settled would definitely be the Dugu family.

Can the Dugu family withstand Yuwen Chan’s reckoning?

First of all, they would definitely be unstoppable in Chang'an City. The Yuwen family currently has 22 coalition forces, as well as the surrender of Yang Su's Luoyang navy and captured Yingyang Army troops. Together, they have a total of troops, which is enough to massacre all the nobles in Chang'an City.

Of course, the other Guanlong nobles certainly have enough power locally, and the Dugu family can mobilize an army of 10 if they try hard. However, this 10-strong army is definitely not as elite as the Yingyang Army, let alone a general like Yang Lin. Therefore, if there is a real rebellion, the Dugu family will probably be directly wiped out as well.

When Dugu Luo hesitated, Yuwen Chan continued, "Duke Zhao, don't worry. My grandmother is your elder sister, and you are my uncle. Now all the wise men and nobles in the court are here, and they can all testify for us. When the sun rises tomorrow, all the previous events will be invalid. This is still the world of the Great Zhou, and you are still the loyal ministers and generals of the Great Zhou."

"Anyone who dares to mention Yang Jian again will be like a piece of wood!" After saying this, Yuwen Chan picked up the long sword in his hand and swung it at the carriage beside him. The entire wooden frame of the carriage was instantly cut into two pieces.

"Haha, if your majesty says so, then that's great. Duke Zhao should not refuse!"

"This is the position of Grand Master, a position that I, an old minister, dare not even dream of. The Dugu family can sit in the position of Grand Master, which means they are genuine royal relatives, the envy of others!"

"Brother Dugu is not in good health. This Cavalry General is a torture for him. It would be better for him to go home and recuperate early!" "Don't worry. We all followed the late emperor to conquer the world. We have sworn an oath to live and die together and assist the emperor together. Don't worry too much, brother Dugu. We will all help you!"

The heads of several other Guanlong noble families spoke up one after another. It sounded like they were trying to comfort Dugu Luo, but in fact they were forcing him to hand over the Cavalry Army. Because Yuwen Chan had made it very clear that as long as Dugu Luo handed over the Cavalry Army, the past incidents of following the Yang world in rebellion would be completely over, and no one could bring it up. Isn't that great?

Anyway, it was the Dugu family who lost the army, and it had nothing to do with them.

In fact, it is normal for Yuwen Chan to want the Dugu family's army. After all, the Yuwen family is the emperor, and they need strong power to suppress other families, otherwise the world will never be stable!

But the original troops of the Yuwen family had been completely disrupted by Yang Jian, and the Yuwen family's foundation was gone. Now if they don't find ways to get more troops to suppress the world, the Yuwen family's world will not be stable.

In fact, the Guanlong nobles don't like fighting every day. It would be the best situation for them to share the benefits of the world with an open-minded emperor who takes the blame every day. Who would want to be an emperor?

After all, if this is not good, the whole family will be gone. Just like the Yang family, because Yang Jian wanted to be the emperor, the entire Yang family is now gone, and I am afraid that not even a trace of blood can be passed down.

So unless the emperor is a bad person and wants to affect the interests of their family, who the hell would want to rebel?

Sacrificing the Dugu family now and re-establishing a balance between the royal family and various families is a good thing that can be implemented in the long run, and no one will object.

So under the unanimous persuasion of other Guanlong nobles, Dugu Luo could only announce with a bitter face that he agreed to send someone to recall his brother to be the Grand Master, while Yuwen Chan directly appointed Li Jing to lead 50,000 city defense troops to receive the cavalry army in Xingyang and become the new cavalry general.

Hearing this order, everyone looked at Li Jing curiously, wondering which family this young man who suddenly appeared belonged to, and how he could rise to such a high position overnight... Was he from the Longxi Li family, the Zhaojun Li family, or the Duke of Tang's family?
Well, it should have nothing to do with Duke Tang. The Tang family are all a bunch of cowardly weaklings, and it is impossible for Yuwen Chan to allow Tang Li, who is also a member of the Guanlong aristocratic group, to have another 100,000 cavalry troops.

Then what difference does it make to give the world to the Li family? He, Yuwen Chan, is not a member of the Li family.
