Thank you very much! ¡ª¡ª  ¡ª¡ª The sound of horse hooves in Chang'an City all night let the people know that something big had happened.  After the curfew ended the next day, the city gates and square gates were still not opened, and the martial law continued. The sergeants of the various guards patrolled the streets in full gear, ordering those who dared to open the doors or windows to peek, to hide honestly.  Stay at home and don't go out.  This situation further confirmed the predictions of those people who had various suspicions.  But no one could guess what happened in the city.  Not knowing what was going on and not being allowed to go out, many people were terrified.  Especially those who urgently need to go out to buy firewood, rice, oil, and salt are extremely anxious, but they dare not go out privately.  Fortunately, people were allowed to go out at noon on the third day after the incident. The east and west cities also reopened for business. The main city gates in Chang'an City were also opened, but inspections became very strict.  The government also issued a notice saying that Yong Wang Li Lin rebelled and the court was investigating the matter.  Martial law has not been completely lifted. There are many sergeants patrolling the streets, and arrests often occur, which makes some timid people escape back to their homes again and do not dare to run around.  But soon, people in the street knew what happened.  King Yong Li Lin rebelled, rushed into the palace, killed the emperor, and wanted to seize the throne.  However, Li Lin's rebellion was eventually put down by the emperor's recently adopted son, King Zhong Li Xi, who was also the original famous and pardoned Yang Xi.  Not long ago, Yang Xi became the emperor's biological son and was promoted to the loyal queen. The people in the street were surprised and talked about it.  Now, luckily, how Yang Xi became the emperor's son was still a mystery. Suddenly, such a drastic change occurred. The late emperor's son, Yongwang Li Lin, actually rebelled and wanted to seize the throne, and almost succeeded.  Even the emperor Li Bin was killed by him. Fortunately, the loyal king Yang Xi led his army and succeeded in suppressing Li Lin's rebellion, controlling the situation and preventing the Tang Dynasty from falling into chaos.  ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:  This is also what they expect. If Yang Xi succeeds to the throne, people in the street believe that this new emperor will definitely bring them more glory.  National strength will continue to increase significantly.  The people will become richer, and the territory of the Tang Dynasty will further expand.  Yang Xi is synonymous with heroes. In the past, many parents who longed for their sons to achieve success and hope for success would encourage their sons with Yang Xi's heroic behavior. Now Yang Xi will ascend to the throne, and he will ascend the throne after becoming famous.  Of course, these parents who used Yang Xi's story to inspire their sons sincerely support him.  Li Bin has never been famous.  Even though he had led the army in the counter-insurgency campaign, everyone knew that it was Yang Xi's credit, and Li Bin was just a name.  He did not actually direct the war.  In addition, he did not achieve anything while he was the prince, and the people of Chang'an did not have a good impression of him. It can be said that Li Bin's life and death are a bit insignificant to them.  "It's just that Li Bin was the emperor, and the emperor was killed.  It always surprises people and worries that the world will be in chaos.  But even though they were surprised, they still had expectations, looking forward to Yang Xi becoming the emperor.  They can become richer.  The thoughts of the officials are of course different from those of the people.  Whether it is the people of Chang'an City or other places, as long as they have heard of Yang Xi's reputation, they are willing to see this super hero become emperor.  But many of the ministers in the court completely disagreed with Yang Xi's succession to the throne.  When there was a change in the palace that day, some ministers did not dare to raise objections, but after Yang Xi presided over the court meeting as the regent prince, discussed court affairs with the ministers, and discussed the posthumous gift and temple title for Li Bin, Gao Shi and Li Bin  Mi once again proposed that Yang Xi should immediately succeed to the throne and take charge of the court affairs as the emperor, but someone stood up and opposed it.  Li Mi and Gao Shi argued that the country could not live without a king for a day and that the Tang Dynasty must have a new emperor to preside over the affairs of the court. They asked Yang Xi not to refuse anymore and to immediately ascend the throne and take charge of all affairs. When they were in charge of all affairs, several ministers stood up.  Objected.  These ministers suggested that other princes should succeed to the throne on the grounds that Yang Xi had a special status and was just Li Bin's illegitimate son, so he was not suitable to succeed to the throne.  However, those who raised such opinions were ministers with low-level positions. None of these high-ranking people came forward to express such opinions. In the end, these people's opinions were refuted by Li Mi, Gao Shi, Cen Shen and others, and soon they  No one stood up to object.  After Yang Xi pretended to decline for a while, he readily accepted it and officially announced that he would ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, granting amnesty to the world.  Yang Xi officially moved into the Daming Palace, which had been cleaned up, and became the owner of the greatest palace in Chinese history.  He chose Chang'an Palace??My own bedroom for myself and Guo Xin to live in.  After Yang Xi ascended the throne, he immediately announced Guo Xin as queen.  After becoming the emperor, in addition to the queen, there are many concubines to be ennobled, and three palaces and six courtyards must be established. However, Yang Xi only has one or two concubines now, and he is still far away from the realm of three thousand beauties in the palace.  How far, but these will definitely be there in the future, just not now.  After Yang Xi succeeded to the throne, he immediately announced that the names of various official positions had been changed back to the Zhenguan period, and some officials were also changed: Guo Ziyi was appointed as Shangshu Ling, Fang Guan was appointed as Shangshu Zuopushe, Wei Jiansu was appointed as Shangshu Youpushe, and Li Bi was appointed as Zhongshu.  In terms of Shuling, Yan Zhenqing is the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Gao Shi is the Minister of the School Inspector, Zhang Hao is the Secretary of the School Inspector, Li Guangbi is the Minister of the Ministry of War, and Li Lin is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. These people are all ranked in the political affairs hall.  Cui Yuan is the minister of the Ministry of Hubu, Miao Jinqing is the minister of the Ministry of Industry, Yuan Zai is the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Pei Zunqing is the minister of the Ministry of Industry.  Yang Xi's eldest brother Yang Xuan and a minister named Li Kui were the ministers of Zhongshu, and Wu Qi and Li Xian were the ministers of Huangmen.  Order the left and right Longwuwei to guard the Daming Palace. Pang Zhong will be the Zuolongwuwei general, and Hun Shizhi will be the Youlongwuwei general.  Wang Sili was the general of the Lin Army on the left, Pugu Huai'en was the general of the Lin Army on the right, and Hun Yan and Guo Xi were in charge of the left and right Jinwu guards respectively.  The other generals of the Guards also entrusted their trusted military generals to lead them. This was the basis for maintaining their own rule. He did not want to be ousted by force.  It can be said that most of the officials when Li Bin was emperor remained in office, but their positions were changed. Yang Xi did not want drastic changes to occur in the court when he just ascended the throne, which would lead to continued turmoil.  If you don't like a minister, or if you feel that this person is not suitable for holding an important position in the court, you can look for opportunities to demote him in the future.  Of course Yang Xi will appoint many cronies in the court, but he will continue to retain people who are not his cronies as long as they have outstanding abilities and noble character, even if these people have prejudices against him.  Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, was his role model. He wanted a king who was open-minded and could do better than any other emperor in history, both in terms of culture and martial arts.  And in the future, he will once again consolidate the mutual restraint and appointment of the three provinces and three ministries, and further improve it, adding some of the more democratic methods of later generations.  Although he became emperor, he did not want the imperial power to be completely unrestricted.  Absolute power will inevitably lead to absolute corruption. He doesn't want to be like Li Shimin, whose family and country are being tormented by his sons, and the Chao Gang is in chaos.  The system is established and needs to be further improved, to a certain extent, to transform the rule of man into the rule of law.  Although all this is very difficult, Yang Xi feels that he will spend his whole life doing it.  The reforms in the government and military system will definitely continue and there will be fundamental changes. Yang Xi feels that he can do it.  Yang Xi¡¯s promise to Yang Yuhuan has begun to come true.  After Li Longji's death, Yang Xi suggested to Li Bin that Yang Yuhuan be posthumously conferred the title of empress and respect her as the queen mother, but Li Bin did not agree.  After Yang Xi became the emperor himself, he also made all this a reality. He respected her as the empress dowager, officially treated Yang Yuhuan as Li Longji's queen, and allowed her to continue to live in Xingqing Palace until Li Bin's death.  After the funeral, he would go there every day to check on An'an.  Yang Yuhuan was quite satisfied with Yang Xi's arrangement.  She didn't have much expectations, she just hoped that in the days to come, Yang Xi could visit her from time to time and stay with her.  Mrs. Guo Guo has nothing to give as a gift, only some property and food.  Mrs. Guo Guo is also very satisfied with this. She has the same requirements for Yang Xi as Yang Yuhuan, hoping that Yang Xi can visit her often.  However, her wish was much more difficult to realize than Yang Yuhuan's wish. After becoming the emperor, Yang Xi naturally could not leave the palace often.  To temporarily stabilize the affairs of the court, Li Bin's funeral is an urgent matter.  After discussing with the courtiers, Yang Xi issued an edict to posthumously confer Li Bin the title of Civilized Martial Arts, Great Sage and Great Xiao Emperor, with the temple name Suzong. He also held a very grand funeral for Li Bin and buried him in Jianling.  ??In the original history, the temple name of Li Heng, who became the emperor, was Suzong after his death. When discussing Li Bin's temple name with the courtiers, Yang Xi naturally thought of the temple name that should have belonged to Li Heng.  The ministers also agreed with Yang Xi's proposal, so that Li Bin's temple name would be "Tang Suzong".  After Li Longji's death, Yang Xi was not involved when discussing the temple name. However, in the end, Li Longji's temple name was still "Tang Xuanzong", which was the same as in the original history. This surprised Yang Xiting.  Li Bin¡¯s posthumous gift and temple name were decided, and the funeral was being held. Yang Xi used his son¡¯s body to honor Li Bin for three months. During these three months, the affairs of the court were handed over to the prime ministers of the political affairs hall.  Li Lin¡¯s conspiracy case was quickly cleared up, and most of the people involved in the case were basically brought to justice.  Soon the imperial court issued an emergency order to deal with Li Lin's case in order to conspire against him.Li Lin was killed as a result of the crime, and several of Li Lin's sons who participated in the rebellion, including Li Jue, were also killed.  In addition to these few people who were killed, only two generals, Liang Cheng and Li Bao, who commanded the imperial army to enter the palace, were betrayed and executed. Most of the other servants were exiled or demoted.  Li Lin and several of his adult sons were killed, and the power of Li Lin's group was wiped out. It will never be a threat again. Those servants will be fine if they are treated leniently.  Yang Xi also knew that after serving Li Bin, it was time for him to show off his talents and completely change the Tang Dynasty.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
