In fact, the reason Li Shi Min wanted to stop the extermination of the Crown Prince and King Qi's remnants was not because he was merciful. Instead, he wanted to recruit talents, spread benevolence and righteousness, and then prepare to stabilize the country.
Especially after his long conversation with Wei Zheng, it made him even more determined to stop the extermination of the remaining evil.
After a day of exterminating dissidents and seizing all their assets, the resentment in the hearts of the generals of Heaven's Strategy must have been relieved a lot.
In the end, Li Shimin decided to take back his authority from Hou Junji, Zhang Liang, and the others and stop the extermination of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.
However, as the supreme commander of the Heavenly Strategy, it was not convenient for him to personally step forward now. Naturally, this arduous and heavy task fell on Xiang Yu's head.
After Xiang Yu received the edict from the Crown Prince, he was stunned for a moment before he understood Li Er's intentions.
It was obvious that Li Er didn't want to expand the scope of his extermination.
"Hmph, executioner." Luo Yiyi, this delicate little girl, after seeing Xiang Yu readily accept this mission, she coldly snorted and turned her face away.
Xiang Yu would not stoop to this little girl's level. She smiled and said,"Little lady, do you think I should quit this job that is detrimental to my virtue?”
" Of course…" Luo Yiyi was originally confident, but she suddenly thought of something." If you resign, the Eastern Palace will be handed over to someone else. If the person who takes your place is vicious, Chang 'an City may be in a bloody storm again.”
"Therefore, you should accept this mission. You may not be a good person, but you're not like Hou Junji's bloodthirsty gang.”
Xiang Yu nodded. Do you know why the Eastern Palace asked me to take charge of this matter?”
"You're the stupid one. The reason why the Eastern Palace gave you this mission is because he trusts you.”
"No, because he decided to stop eliminating dissidents, he handed it over to me.”Xiangyu shook her head.
"Stop the purge?" The beautiful lady's phoenix eyes could not hide the joy.
"I've been saving people and putting out fires today. I've been singing the opposite tune to those guys who ransack and exterminate families. But the Eastern Palace still gave me this mission. What does that mean? It means that he also agrees with my approach." Xiang Yu hit the nail on the head.
When the beautiful girl heard his words, she could not help but cheer,"It seems that the general of your Heavenly Policy Manor is a broad-minded man. I wonder if he will forgive my grandfather?”
"That depends on your grandfather.”Xiangyu chuckled.
………………
When the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace issued an edict, Chang 'an City, which was in a state of panic, could finally be quiet for a moment.
Corpses piled up like mountains at Caishikou and were transported out of the city in an orderly manner.
The commoners did not feel any pity for those who were beheaded, because they were basically relatives of the concubines in the harem. They had committed evil deeds and were arrogant and domineering in Chang 'an.
Now, those silkpants, tyrants, and relatives had all been beheaded. The people would only praise the merits of the Crown Prince Li Shimin.
As for the true talents of the Crown Prince's Residence and King Qi's Residence, not many of them were killed. Most of them survived this calamity under the protection of the Marquis Champion.
When they heard that the Marquis Champion had taken over the task of dealing with the Crown Prince's Residence and the Qi King's Residence, many of the officials who were involved in the matter laid out their tables and thanked the heavens for their protection. They finally didn't have to worry anymore.
It was said that the Marquis Champion had a benevolent heart and advocated leniency, which undoubtedly gave them hope to live.
However, these officials were still trembling with fear and anxiety.
Two days had passed, but the upstart of the dynasty, the Defender General and the Champion Marquis still showed no signs of dealing with them.
In the end, after asking around, they found out that the Marquis Champion had been moving house for the past few days. He had no time to care about these criminals.
Most of the criminals let out a sigh of relief, but at the same time, they developed a trace of survival instinct.
They all wrote to the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, confessing their past crimes. Of course, they also had the intention of defending themselves.
In a short three days, the Imperial Palace's Imperial Table was filled with memorials.
Li Shi Min looked at the memorials and then said to Wei Zheng,""Mr. Wei, how do you think bengong should deal with these memorials?”
"Your Highness, do you still remember the story of Cao Mengde burning the letters of the civil and military officials who colluded with the enemy?" Wei Zheng stood up and asked with a smile.”
"Haha, since Mr. Wei said so, then BenGong will naturally imitate the sages.”Li Shi Min laughed heartily and shouted,"Men, burn all these memorials.”
"Yes, Your Highness." The two eunuchs immediately accepted the order.
Then, Li Shiming pointed to the memorial on another table and said to Wei Zheng,"Do you know what these memorials are?”
Wei Zheng nodded." It should be the memorial to impeach the Defender General, the Champion Marquis Xiangyu, right?"”
"Yes, I am." Li Shi Min nodded." I asked this kid to deal with…some things. But he has been working hard at his mansion for days. He even forgot the task I gave him. Do you think he should be punished?"”
"Hehe, if this child didn't do this, how could he fulfill the Crown Prince's reputation of having a broad chest?”Wei Zheng lowered his head.
"Haha, it's still Teacher Wei's words that BenGong likes to hear.”Li Shimin waved his hand again,"Burn these memorials as well." In addition, bengong will personally inscribe a horizontal board for that brat to congratulate him on his new home.”
