The fourth day of the sixth month was destined to be the most extraordinary day in the Great Tang.
In Chang 'an City, whether it was the people or the civil and military officials, all the doors and windows were tightly shut. They shivered and did not dare to speak loudly.
However, everyone vaguely knew something.
In recent years, the conflict between the Crown Prince, King Qi, and King Qin of Tang was no longer news in Chang 'an.
The battle between the two sides became more and more intense, and countless people died.
Now, more than 100,000 troops had suddenly poured into Chang 'an and the entire city was under martial law. Even a fool knew that the final battle between the Crown Prince and the King of Qin was finally coming to an end.
Who would win in the end?
Only a few brave commoners peeked through the doors and windows and saw that it was Qin Shubao of Prince Qin's Mansion who had led the army into Chang 'an.
Obviously, the winner would be the King of Qin, who had made a great contribution.
For the people of Chang 'an, whether it was Crown Prince Li Jiancheng or King of Qin Li Shimin becoming the emperor, it had little to do with them.
However, for the 8,000 - 9,000 civil and military officials in Chang 'an, this was definitely an earth-shaking change.
Perhaps, a small official who was once unknown would suddenly become a big shot. On the contrary, those once high and mighty big shots might face the danger of their families being raided and exterminated.
Close to ten thousand civil and military officials were either trembling in fear as they waited for the arrival of the disaster, or they were overjoyed as they placed their tables and waited for the arrival of the imperial edict. Of course, there were also many officials who knew that the situation was hopeless and directly committed suicide.
In short, this day was destined to be a day of joy and sorrow. It was destined that everyone did not want to eat or drink.
To Li Er, the Imperial Palace and the Emperor were already completely under his control, reduced to puppets.
Therefore, he and his Heavenly Policy Army began to purge and promote the civil and military officials.
Under his orders, several generals from the Heavenly Policy Manor led 30,000 troops and took over the entire palace. As for the imperial guards, they were all dismissed from the palace and rested at home.
The other 30,000 left the Black Tortoise Sect under Li Er's lead.
"Yuchi Gong. You will lead five thousand troops to surround the Crown Prince's residence and hunt down the remaining rebels.”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Yuchi Gong led the five thousand strong army and charged aggressively towards the Crown Prince Residence.
"Duan Zhixuan, lead 5,000 troops to search for Fang Ai and Fei Liang. After capturing them, kill them without mercy.”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Duan Zhixuan bowed and accepted the order. He led the 3,000-strong army and headed straight for the Fang Residence…
………………
Li Shi Min issued one order after another, all of which were to eliminate dissidents.
These dissidents were either important officials of the court, concubines and relatives of the harem, or stubborn people from the crown prince's residence who bullied others and committed many crimes...
The generals of the Heavenly Strategy Army left.
In the blink of an eye, there were only a few people left beside Li Shiming.
Xiang Yu looked at the few remaining people and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She was really lucky to finally be able to have a good rest.
Who knew that just as this thought rose in his mind, he heard Li Er call out to him,"Xiang brat, I have something very important for you to do.”
Xiang Yu smiled bitterly and muttered,""I thought I could rest for a while.”
"You brat, everyone else is more than happy to do this, but you still want to avoid it?”"Alright, I'm not asking you to kill people, I'm asking you to protect people." Li Shiming laughed and scolded.”
"Protect people?" Xiang Yu was even more confused. Now that the entire Chang 'an City belonged to you, do you still need people to protect the people you value?
Li Shi Min didn't seem to be giving him any more riddles."Protect Wei Zheng, as well as Wang Gui, Wei Ting, Luo Yi…their residences. Don't let them be affected.”
Xiang Yu secretly looked down on this Li Er. On one hand, she let the Heavenly Policy Army establish their might.
On the other hand, he secretly sent people to rescue them. Was this the legendary slap and a red date?
However, Xiang Yu also knew that although these people were the subordinates of Crown Prince Li Jiancheng, they were all famous officials in the world. He had a lot of prestige among the forces of Crown Prince Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.
Moreover, these people were all very capable, but unfortunately, a few of them had been forced to leave the capital by Li Shiming in the past.
If he could rope in these people, Li Shi Min would no longer have to worry about anything after he ascended the throne.
