Chapter 139 Abandonment and Enthronement

(PS written at the beginning: Kaiyuan is the abbreviation of the Yellow Emperor's calendar, the seventh year of Wude is 624 AD, and Kaiyuan 3322.

The AD was proposed in 525, and it was exactly 100 years until the seventh year of Wude, and it has not been popularized and only a few areas are using it.

Now that the protagonist has traveled through time, he will definitely restore the Yellow Emperor's calendar to use the Kaiyuan calendar instead of Christ's Western Yuan calendar.Even in the later Kaiyuan era, it will be promoted to the whole world as part of cultural export.

Therefore, all occurrences of the age in this book adopt the Kaiyuan era.In order to make it easier for everyone to read, sometimes I will also write the year of the Western Yuan according to the situation. )
(Is this a spoiler?)

On the fourth day of July in the [-]nd year of Kaiyuan (the seventh year of Wude), King Qin of the Tang Dynasty and General Tiance Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Mutiny, killing Prince Li Jiancheng and King Qi Li Yuanji, and imprisoning Emperor Li Yuan.The family members of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji also died in the rebellion.

Under Pei Ju's persuasion, Donggong and King Qi belonged to each other or abandoned their posts and dispersed or surrendered.

The generals of the Prince Qin's Mansion were going to investigate and reckon, and killed all the cronies of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, and confiscated their property from the government.

Fortunately, Yu Chigong gave a direct remonstrance: "The fault lies with the Crown Prince and the King of Qi. They have already been put to death. If their party members are involved, it will cause panic and chaos in the world. It is not the fault of the Lord!"

Li Shimin woke up like a dream, and stopped the generals from killing in time.And on the same day, an imperial edict was issued in the name of Emperor Li Yuan to amnesty the world: all the crimes belong to Jiancheng Yuanji, and the rest of the party members will not be held accountable.

So people are determined.

On the second day of the coup, Feng Li, Xie Shufang and other generals who had fled found that the King of Qin did not slaughter the prince's remaining party as promised, and they all took the initiative to take the blame.

Li Shimin praised them as righteous men who were loyal to the people they served, pardoned their crimes and used them for other purposes.

With this example, the floating people's hearts can be quickly stabilized.

In the [-]nd year of Kaiyuan, on the ninth day of July in the seventh year of Wude, Li Yuan formally issued an imperial edict to confer Li Shimin as the prince, with an overview of state affairs.

On July [-]th, Emperor Li Yuan appointed coup heroes Yu Wenshi and Prince Zhan Shi, Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui as the sons of the left, Gao Shilian and Fang Xuanling as the sons of the right, Yu Chigong as the leader of the left guard, and Cheng Zhijie as the leader of the right guard .The rest of the old ministers of the Qin Palace were rewarded.

When it comes to the merits of the coup, Yu Chigong was the first, and he was rewarded with [-] pieces of silk and all the gold, silver, cloth and silk utensils in the Qi Palace.

So far, the change of Xuanwu Gate has come to an end.With Li Shimin's complete victory, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were killed and Li Yuan was imprisoned.

On July [-], Lujiang King Li Yuan conspired against him and was killed by his generals that night.Li Yuan decreed that he should be reduced to common people and be expelled from his nationality.

In another ten days, Li Yuan issued an edict to appoint Qin Qiong, the guard of the Qin Palace, as the general of Zuowuwei, Cheng Zhijie as the general of Youwuwei, and Yu Chigong as the general of Youwuhou.

For another five days, Gao Shilian was appointed as the servant, Fang Xuanling was the official secretary, Xiao Yu was the left servant, Changsun Wuji was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Du Ruhui was the Minister of the Ministry of War.

Another day, with Yuwen Shiji as the order of Zhongshu, Feng Deyi was the right servant to shoot.In addition, Du Yan, a former soldier of Tiance's government, Cao Canjun, was the imperial censor, Yan Shigu and Liu Linfu, former members of Zhongshushe, were Zhongshu's servants, Hou Junji, the deputy of Zuowei, was the general of Zuowei, and Duan Zhixuan, Marquis of Zuoyu, was the general of Xiaowei;
Deputy guard Xue Wanche is the right leading general, right inner deputy Zhang Gongjin is the left Wuhou general, right prison gate chief Sun Anye is the right prison gate general, and right inner deputy Li Keshi is the left and right general.

So far, the Li Shimin Group has controlled the key departments and positions of the country, and has completely mastered the military and political power of the country.

Li Shimin completely completed the control of the entire country.

The East Palace has become Li Shimin's residence at this time, and they just completed the relocation work today.

Walking in this residence belonging to the prince, Yue Shan was also quite emotional.A prince was overthrown like this, and it seemed that there was still a smell of blood in the air.

Of course he knew it was just an illusion.When Li Shimin's people cleaned up the East Palace, they almost used the method of digging three feet into the ground, and it was impossible to leave any unclean things behind.

This "digging three feet" is not a wrong idiom, nor is it an exaggeration, but a complete statement of facts.

Every piece of wood, every wall brick, every pillar, every stone... In short, every plant and tree that originally belonged to Li Jiancheng was inspected.

Throw away those that can be thrown away and replace them with items from Prince Qin's Mansion, and those that cannot be thrown away should be carefully checked and cleaned so that no trace of Li Jiancheng is left.

Therefore, the entire East Palace looks completely new, and the layout of certain places still makes people feel familiar.

"Are you really giving up all your achievements like this?" Changsun Wugou asked in disbelief.

"My dear sister, you have asked this question seventeen times. I will answer you No. 17 times, yes. The reason is, with my sister, am I still afraid that I will not be able to enjoy the glory and wealth? Why bother to join in now? That's lively." Yue Shan said helplessly.

"Sigh, I really can't believe that you can think so thoroughly at only 11 years old." Changsun Wugou said in admiration.

"You have said this sentence seventeen times." Yue Shan rubbed his forehead and said.

"Pfft." Changsun Wugou himself couldn't help laughing out loud, and said, "Okay, okay, why don't I stop asking. I understand what you mean, don't worry, your benefits will be indispensable in the future."

She is more and more satisfied with this son-in-law, especially this time Yue Shan voluntarily gave up all the rewards, and specifically asked not to mention his name when discussing meritorious deeds.

This not only shocked Li Shimin's eldest grandson Wugou and his wife, but also everyone in the Qinwang Group who knew the inside story was dumbfounded.But then there is admiration from the heart.

As the promoter of the coup d'etat and the maker of the entire plan, his credit is definitely in the top three.Such a great contribution is at least a hereditary duke.

But he gave up without blinking an eye, and there was no trace of resignation on his face.What kind of courage must it be to give up such a great effort.

All those who know the inside question ask themselves, no one can do this.

Why did they put their heads on their waistbands and follow Li Shimin to rebel?Isn't it for the sake of prosperity and wealth that you seal your wife and son?

It is precisely because he can't do it that he admires Yue Shan's behavior even more.

Does Yue Shan really not care about these contributions and the position of Duke?That is impossible.Giving up is deliberate.

Is it really a good thing for him to accept this reward?An 11-year-old duke of the state, still relying on his own true ability to rebel and become elected, think about what he will face.

Anyway, Yue Shan didn't dare to think about it, and he knew very well that he couldn't bear the pressure.After much consideration, he still decided to give up the reward.

Having said that, what he gave up was the reward, not the credit.His contribution to the Xuanwumen coup is truly indelible, and Li Shimin, Changsun Wugou and everyone who participated in the coup are well aware of it.

Even if he is not the Duke of the country, do those big bosses dare not take him seriously?impossible.On the contrary, he will look up at him.

Li Shimin and his eldest grandson Wugou will appreciate him even more and even feel guilty. As long as he doesn't commit any crimes, when he grows up, Li Shimin can find an excuse to make up for him.

Therefore, no matter from which point of view, giving up this reward will do him more good than harm.

Therefore, this big reward even benefited some marginal figures, but Yue Shan, the mastermind behind the coup, did not get any benefit at all.

The name Yue Shan is still unknown to the people in the world, and most people who know him still have the impression of Viscount Xianbao.Only the handful of people with the most power know his true identity.

After the coup, Yue Shan just hurried home under the protection of Zhang Liang to explain, and then returned to the palace again.One is to protect his safety, and the other is that Li Shimin and eldest grandson Wugou can feel at ease with him.

He was not idle either, while helping his eldest grandson Wugou deal with the moving, he took this opportunity to search through Li Shimin's collection of books and found many rare and rare books.

When Li Shimin was happy, he sent him off with a wave of his big hand.He was very happy... These books are preserved and handed down to future generations, they are all national treasures.

The future generations do nothing but sell books and can live a prosperous life.

On October 3322th of the seventh year of Wude ([-]), Li Yuan officially issued an edict to be located in Prince Li Shimin.Li Shimin refused to accept his resignation, and Li Yuan was furious.

On the second day, October [-]th, Prince Li Shimin took the throne in the Xiande Hall of the East Palace and gave amnesty to the world, starting his glorious career as emperor.

For Li Shimin, this is a great happy event, but behind the happy event, there is something that makes him feel as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly.

"Father has been refusing to move out of the Daxing Palace. Second brother... the saint and we can only live in the East Palace. If things go on like this, the world may laugh at us, and the saint is anxious about this." Changsun Wugou said with a sad face.

Yue Shan showed a wry smile, and said, "Sister, tell me what you need me to do."

The eldest grandson Wugou immediately beamed with joy, and said, "I know that Cuilan loves my sister the most, and she doesn't ask for anything else. I hope you can find a way to get father to move to Da'an Palace."
