Chapter 94
"Your Majesty, what do you plan to do with the Wu clan?" Di Renjie asked knowingly.

"What to do, what to do." Shen Youzhi replied lightly: "The imperial court has its own laws, why should I make a decision?"

Dealing with it according to the law, these words are basically equivalent to a death sentence for the Wu family: Wu's usurpation of the Tang Dynasty is a crime of treason, and the nine clans should be exterminated according to the law.

Not only the Wu clan, but all Empress Wu's party in the court could not escape the charge of "rebellious officials and thieves".

When the Empress Wu's party fell, there would naturally be a large number of vacancies in the imperial court system, and his own people could naturally replace them.

While cleaning up the remnants of the Wu family in the court, Shen Youzhi can also take advantage of the trend to bring his cronies into the court, so as to check and balance the old forces.

His cronies all have meritorious deeds, no matter what position they are given, no one else can pick them out.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Jianzhi also asked, "Your Majesty, then."

He stopped halfway through his words, and only tilted his head slightly, looking towards the east.

There is the direction of Linde Palace in the imperial city.

It is self-evident what Zhang Jian's intention is.

"Depress this matter for the time being, and discuss it later." Shen Youzhi didn't make a decision immediately.

"Yes." Zhang Jianzhi bowed his head and took orders.

"Mr. Zhang Ge, the major event has just been decided. Go down and contact all the courtiers, and tell them that the fate is approaching. I invite them to wait for the time of heaven together, so as to reassure people's hearts." Shen Youzhi ordered again.

"Sir, obey the order."

Although Zhang Jianzhi didn't know what the "time of day" was in the emperor's mouth, he retreated obediently and prepared to summon a group of ministers according to the order.

After he left, Shen Youzhi turned to look at Li Xian again, and asked casually, "What time is it?"

"Uh?" Li Xian was suddenly asked, and was stunned for a while.

"I ask you what time it is!" Shen Youzhi said in a deep voice with slightly cold eyes.

"It's about Yin time." Li Xian stammered as his body trembled.

In his capacity, since someone will report the time for him full-time, when will he need to take the initiative to calculate it?
But now that times have changed, he can only swallow his anger.

Anyway, being angry has become a habit or even instinct for Li Xian.

Yin time.
"Come here, take the King of Luling down. Be sure to serve him well, and don't be disrespectful." Shen Youzhi summoned the guards softly.

King of Luling was Li Xian's title before he became crown prince.

After the words were finished, several guards picked up Li Xian and walked slowly outside the hall.

After Li Xian was taken away, only Shen Youzhi and Di Renjie were left in the hall.

"Di Qing, the time is approaching, when do you think I should meet with the ministers?" Shen Youzhi said slowly.

Di Renjie's heart was like a mirror, and he replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, according to the humble opinion of the old minister, today is the auspicious time.

Your Majesty can order all the ministers to meet in the Tongtian Hall at the six quarters of the hour. "

"Precise play."

"Show the Ziwei City!"

It is less than two hours away from "Luohe Miracle", and it is time for Shen Youzhi to prepare.

At the seven quarters of Mao time, the night will recede and the sky will be bright.

The twilight of the morning sun hit the ground of the white jade in Ziwei City, leaving a blush.

With the passage of time, the boundary of the blush is also constantly changing, from the city gate to the city street, and then sweeping away the armored soldiers of the forbidden army in the city one by one.

The light of the sun was cold, and the city was immediately filled with a cold and majestic chill atmosphere.

At this moment, all the people guarding the Forbidden City are Shen Youzhi's direct descendants, all of them are the elite among the elite, and they feel murderous at a glance.

Inside Tongtian Hall, the officials headed by Di Renjie and Zhang Jianzhi are quietly waiting for the new emperor to appear.

Except for the Li family who were under house arrest and the Wu family who were imprisoned, basically all the officials in the court were called together by Zhang Jianzhi.

Obviously, the only ones who can stand here now, except for the cronies who were promoted by Shen You, the rest are the loyal Li Tang faction and the wall-riding faction who adapt to the situation.

Before last night, among them, some supported Li Xian, some supported Li Dan, and some even bet on both sides, and had connections with both the Wu and Li factions.

But now, no matter what they thought in the past, there is only one way in front of them: bow down to King An.

Even if some people have never paid attention to An Wang before, they must behave sincerely at this time.

"Mr. Zhang Ge, what is your Majesty summoning us for?" Tan Jiyun, the Minister of Rites, couldn't help asking when he saw that the emperor hadn't shown up for a long time.

He is still in a trance until now: he just fell asleep, and the world has changed hands.

It wasn't until an hour ago that Zhang Jianzhi led someone into his mansion to wake him up that he knew that the outside world had changed.

Then he followed Zhang Jianzhi to Tongtian Palace with all the courtiers in such a daze.

On the way here, although he asked Zhang Jianzhi about the whole story, but after all, time was limited, and it was impossible for the other party to explain everything to him in detail.

At this moment, he was still quite uneasy.

Although Wang An is a direct descendant of Emperor Taizong, and he is not a hard-line Empress Wu himself, the fact that His Majesty's rebellion did not have any warnings caught people off guard.

Over the past two decades, he has shown no political ambitions at all.

As a result, many people in Shendu City did not know about this His Majesty.

Even those who knew King An in the past had at most only heard of his title of "Daoist".

No one knew anything about his personality, personality, hobbies, etc.

Now that the new dynasty has just been established, it is the time when people are panicking, if they offend Long Yan unintentionally, they will be pushed out to make an example to others!

It's not just Tan Jiyun who thinks this way, there are many people who have the same idea as him: Li Changhe, Minister of the Ministry of War, Liu Buling, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Gou Gongshu, Minister of the Ministry of Households, Li Han, a doctor of the Ministry of Water, and so on. idea.

These people all looked at Zhang Jianzhi eagerly, hoping to get some valuable news from him.

Seeing that each of them was worried, the old god Zhang Jianzhi replied down-to-earth: "Don't worry, my lords.

His Majesty has foresighted and planned strategies for more than ten years to restore Li Tang's artifact overnight.

You are all people who love Li Tang, the Holy One will not criticize you harshly. "

Civil servants are unpredictable, while military commanders are more upright. They basically belong to a faction of a civil servant in the court, and most of the time they just need to stand behind.

For example, the left and right Habayashi guard generals Jing Hui and Yan Yanfan who were in charge of guarding the imperial city, and the left and right Jinwu guard generals Li Duozuo and Xiang Shilun belonged to the lineage of Prime Minister Zhang Jianzhi.

In this coup, they have also made great contributions to the dragon. Standing among the apprehensive ministers and officials at this moment, they look particularly energetic.

There are also the commanders of the left and right Weiwei, the left and right Longwuwei, the left and right Qianniuwei, etc. like Wang Xiaojie, who also have close ties with the civil servants in the court.

What's more, although these generals are famous, they don't have many soldiers on hand.

Wu Zhou's military system is in the same line as Li Tang's. They both adopted the "fubing system", that is, "Zhechongfu" was set up in the local area to prepare for war, and the "Sixteen Guards" were set up in the center to command the national soldiers and horses.

In other words, although the generals of these guards nominally command the country's soldiers and horses, they have the right to mobilize local soldiers and horses only when they are assigned to the localities, and they are usually in the capital to guard the capital.

But now, the entire defense force of the capital city has been taken over by Shen Youzhi's troops, and the soldiers and horses in the rest of the guards have been disarmed.

These so-called generals of the guards now only have one vacant title left, and they can't transfer troops at all.
