    December 18, the second year of Guangqi.  ; Li Rupei entered the capital Chang'an.  The capital Chang'an has long been controlled by the Iron Blood Army. Gao Chibang sent 10,000 Iron Blood Army soldiers into the capital and controlled all key places. Li Rupei must be extra careful wherever he may pass.  All civil and military officials in the capital already knew that the emperor had been taken away by Yang Fugong, and was said to have gone to Fengxiang. The strange thing was that, except for those officials who were particularly loyal to Yang Fugong, the rest had no intention of leaving the capital. There were even officials in the capital.  After the emperor had left the capital, he still insisted on going to the official office and staying in the official office conscientiously.  When Li Rupei entered Chang'an, all the civil and military officials were waiting outside the Daming Palace. They were waiting for the arrival of His Highness Prince Fu. Since the emperor had left the capital, it was His Highness Prince Fu who was in charge of the situation in the capital.  Li Rupei, escorted by many soldiers, passed through the streets of the capital.  The streets were very calm, with the iron-blooded soldiers keeping a tight grip. The lives of the people in the capital were not disturbed in any way. Of course, people were not allowed to go out. After all, Li Rupei's safety came first.  When we arrived outside the Daming Palace, all the civil and military officials knelt down.  The empress, along with all the concubines and princes in the harem, were also waiting outside the Daming Palace. They were already protected by the Iron Blood Army. Without receiving orders from Li Rupei, the Iron Blood Army officers would naturally treat these people well.  After Li Rupei dismounted, he walked straight towards Daming Palace.  There was no sound from the crowd of people outside the Daming Palace.  It was at this moment that the Queen stood up, holding the Emperor's edict in her hand, and spoke loudly.  "His Royal Highness Prince Fu, this is the emperor's edict of abdication. The emperor abdicates the throne to His Highness Prince Fu" The appearance of this voice shocked everyone.  Even Li Rupei stopped and looked at the empress holding the edict in her hand.  In fact, Li Rupei didn't think about what to do with Li Xuan's concubines. After all, he was not exactly a person of this era. He was not prepared to kill Li Xuan's concubines or secretly kill them.  , but it is definitely inappropriate to let these people continue to stay in Daming Palace. How to deal with these things.  That was not something he considered. Of course, Cui Anqian and others came to arrange it, but the abdication edict that the Queen took out was a bombshell that instantly solidified the air around him.  It was Cui Shenyou who had seen the world. He quickly stepped forward, knelt down in front of the Queen and took the edict.  Cui Shenyou looked at Li Rupei who was standing there, and resolutely opened the edict.  Start reading aloud.  Except for Li Rupei and the soldiers around him, everyone knelt down.  The abdication edict was not long, but its meaning was very clear. The emperor decided to abdicate the throne to Prince Fu Li Rupei.  After the edict of abdication is read out.  Cui Shen walked to Li Rupei in small steps and knelt down.  "I respectfully welcome your Majesty, long live your Majesty" This time, even the soldiers around Li Rupei knelt down.  "Long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty" Li Rupei had never thought about it.  In this way, he became the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and thus reached the pinnacle of power, that is, on the day he entered the capital city of Chang'an.  According to his previous thinking, he supported Li Xuan for a period of time and then thought of a solution. Anyway, the court was under his control, but all these procedures were omitted. There was no need to worry. He had become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Li  The abdication edict written by Zhang himself made him, the emperor, justified.  Maybe Yang Fugong, who took Li Zhen to Fengxiang hostage, never imagined that such a scene would happen. Once the news spread, the Shence Army around Yang Fugong would quickly collapse, and the northern vassal towns would also fall into panic.  This is the best situation. Of course, Li Rupei will not refuse, let alone make hypocritical excuses. It is his wish to reach the highest peak of the Tang Dynasty. He still has many things to do.  With this abdication edict, the Iron Blood Army can temporarily slow down its pace, stabilize the eastern capital Luoyang and Henan Prefecture, stabilize the capital Chang'an, and then plot the northern vassal towns. I believe that in this process, those northern vassal towns that understand the truth will  There will be proactive actions, and Li Rupei will also seize such an opportunity to let some feudal towns perish on their own. After all, Bing Feng pointed out that it is the common people who suffer the consequences, and it is up to him to solve the remaining problems in the end.  Walking into the Daming Palace, countless eunuchs were kneeling in the darkness.  "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor" These eunuchs did not dare to leave the Daming Palace. After Yang Fugong took Li Xuan away, these eunuchs fell into despair. They did not know what the future would bring.No matter what their luck, their status cannot be compared with before.  Looking at the eunuchs kneeling on the ground, Li Rupei shook his head slightly. He needed to speak. After all, behind these eunuchs, there were also families and even clans, and these eunuchs were waiting for him to speak. Whether they were alive or dead was his.  One sentence.  "I know your thoughts clearly." Li Rupei shook his head slightly again. He suddenly became the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. He still needs time to adapt. Everything in the future will change, including his attitude towards others and so on.  Li Rupei would not have thought that his calm attitude would give all the civil and military officials behind him extraordinary insights. No one would have thought that the emperor could be so calm, without the slightest hint of complacency, and his every move and gesture would be so calm.  Be steady, after all, the emperor is not very old.  "I once deeply hated eunuchs interfering in politics. However, I cannot completely blame you for eunuchs interfering in politics. From now on, I have made a rule that eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics. Eunuchs are not allowed to participate in all matters involving government affairs and court matters.  It was discussed that those who violate this will not be pardoned. The minister will set up an iron tablet in the Daming Palace and the Imperial Palace tomorrow, and write that eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics. This iron tablet will be passed down from generation to generation, so that future generations will remember it. " "As long as you do not violate this.  With this iron rule, I can protect your lives." After Li Rupei finished speaking, he raised his feet and walked towards the Xuanzheng Hall.  The officials behind him looked at the eunuch who was still kneeling on the ground, and couldn't explain how he felt in his heart. From now on, the matter of eunuchs doing politics will completely disappear. As for the matter of eunuchs being domineering, they will no longer exist. The emperor has made a decision  If this rule is followed, I am afraid that eunuchs will disappear in a short time. Just imagine, who would do something that hurts the body without money and power.  Walking into the Xuanzheng Hall and looking at the dragon chariot above, Li Rupei's eyes burst out with a trace of light.  In the past, eunuchs served the emperor, but all the eunuchs in the Daming Palace were kneeling outside, because the emperor had not yet asked them to stand up, and no one dared to stand up.  Li Rupei let out a long breath and slowly walked towards the dragon chariot.  Not many people were able to enter the Xuanzheng Hall, including Gao Chibang, Cui Shenyou, Wang Shenzhi and Zheng Yanchang, followed by Li Rupei's personal soldiers.  When sitting on the dragon chariot, Gao Chibang and others knelt down again.  "Cui Shenyou, please let all the civil and military officials outside come in. I have something to say." After a while, the Xuanzheng Hall was filled with civil and military ministers kneeling on their knees.  "You are all ministers of the Tang Dynasty. Chang'an, the capital, is the hub of the Tang Dynasty. It cannot stop functioning, otherwise the Tang Dynasty will fall into chaos. Officials below the fourth rank will continue to handle government affairs in accordance with the original requirements and wait for the imperial court's orders.  "Officials of fourth grade and above will be appointed as appropriate after being evaluated by the Shangshu Province, the Zhongshu Province and the Menxia Province."  Officials who don't do things for the court or the people, what they think about every day is how to make money and how to seek benefits. Such officials will not only be eliminated, but also punished. I don't care about your past.  What kind of official position is this? If you find this kind of situation, you will be punished severely. "Li Rupei has become the emperor, and his palace is naturally within the Daming Palace.  But there are still some things that need to be dealt with, very specific things, such as the queen, the concubines and princes, the eunuchs kneeling outside, etc. Li Rupei doesn't have that much patience to deal with these things.  He handed over all these matters to Cui Shenyou.  Next, he needs to think about it. Now that he has become the emperor, maintaining the huge central organization and maintaining the normal operation of the Tang Dynasty is the most important thing. He must firmly hold the appointment of officials above the fourth rank in his hands.  Yes, this is something that no one can shake. Secondly, the stationing of the Iron Blood Army, the issue of the northern feudal towns, and his uncle Li Zhen who has abdicated, these all have to be considered.  Of course, the most important thing is to get officials from the Daxingtai Mansion of Nanfang Road to come to the capital quickly.  Li Rupei's first edict quickly headed towards Xiangyang. Unfortunately, his edict could not be stamped with a jade seal because the jade seal had been taken away by Yang Fugong.  Xiangyang, Daxingtaifu, Nanfang Road.  Although the Spring Festival is approaching, Cui Anqian, Zheng Congchan and others have no time to think about it. They pay close attention to the news coming from the capital Chang'an.  Li Rupei's edict arrived in Xiangyang, causing a sensation in both the Wang Mansion and Daxingtai Mansion.  Cui Anqian, who had made all preparations long ago, immediately started taking action.  Everyone in the palace must go to the capital. Li Rupei has become the emperor., then everyone in the palace will enter the Daming Palace, followed by all the officials in the Daxingtai Palace on the Southern Road. Except for a few people who are left behind to clean up, the rest will go to the capital Chang'an. Li Rupei is already the emperor.  , there is no need for Daxingtai Mansion on the Southern Road to exist. Once again, the Jiedu Envoy is informed. After arranging everything, they quickly set off for the capital. They must meet the emperor as soon as possible. This is impossible.  An unnecessary procedure.  On December 23, everyone in the palace headed towards the capital under the protection of the Iron Blood Army.  On December 25, officials from the Daxingtai Prefecture left Xiangyang and headed for the capital.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
