Chapter 743 The Grand Finale (16)
But now that the rebellion has been quelled, the emperor has issued an imperial decree saying that even if the crown prince cannot return, the throne will be passed on to Prince Rui, so that they finally have a backbone.

This time, An Ran also saw her little nephew, the child left behind by her sister-in-law, who was already over one year old, Zhao Kang.

Brother Kang is already one year old, and his body looks okay, he is chubby, and he can already walk tremblingly.But he can't speak yet, and his reaction is a little slow.Bao'er likes this cousin who is not much older than herself.He also gave his cousin his toys to play with, asked An Ran to tell them stories, and even went swimming with his cousin.

Zhao Kang had never learned how to swim, so he was afraid and refused to go into the water, but seeing Bao'er swimming so happily in the pool, he was very envious.

After Zhao Shihua saw Bao'er, he understood the emperor's mood at that time.No one would dislike such a smart kid.It's no wonder that the emperor decided to establish him as the grandson of the emperor and set his name early.

Such a good seedling, as long as he is educated well in the future, he must be a Ming emperor of the Sui Dynasty!

The troops of King Qin from all over the country arrived one after another. The emperor temporarily integrated a rebel army, led by Dugu Kai, to Longxi to arrest the mastermind of the rebellion Li Zhengqian and his nine clansmen.

Seeing that the matter failed, the person in power of the Dugu family committed suicide.

Two months later, Dugu Kai sent back the news that the chief culprit of the Li family had been killed, and all members of the nine clans had been arrested. Because too many criminals were detained, the return journey was very slow.

The rebellion finally passed, the people in Beijing settled down, the ban was lifted, and people began to go to the streets to buy and sell. Chang'an soon returned to its previous prosperity.

In this rebellion, although the main culprit, King An, has set himself on fire, and the Li family has been uprooted, there are still many accomplices in Beijing who participated in their rebellion, such as Jiang Shaoli and Mr. Ouyang who was invited from the Western Regions , as well as the queen in the palace, the Dugu family and other children of the Li family and so on.

Jiang Shaoli was sentenced to beheaded in half. His nine clans were killed and exiled.

The Mr. Ouyang who used poison was from the Western Regions, and he had no relatives in Chang'an, but he was very bachelor, so it would be over if he died.

Qian Rui helped stabilize the situation in central Beijing, and soon led his troops back to Yanmen Pass.After all, the border is a big one, and there is no room for loss.

But before he left, the reward had already come down.

Because of his meritorious service in suppressing the rebellion, Qian Rui was granted the title of "Marquis of Jing'an" and promoted to Cong Yipin National Protector General.Everyone thought that Qian Pengyang was Li Zhengqian's confidant, but he was also a member of His Royal Highness. This time, King An rebelled, and he was not involved in the slightest.Because of his son's meritorious service in suppressing the rebellion, the Wen family also conferred the title of wife of the second rank!
However, Qian Rui's wife, Li Shi, should have been punished because she was born in the Li family, but Qian Rui pleaded for her, and the emperor lenient her, only depriving her of her title of official wife and leaving her life behind.The emperor also told the crown princess to choose a wife for Hou Jing'an in Beijing!
An Ran agreed, but passed the news on to Qian Rui, letting him decide for himself.

The Dugu family's participation in the rebellion was originally intended to punish the nine clans. Because Dugu Kaiping made great contributions to the rebellion, and because of Dugu Empress Dowager, the emperor was extra merciful. Except for those who did participate in the rebellion, the Dugu family was beheaded for public display, and the rest of the innocent clan members were freed. Fortunately, Dugu Kai inherited the title of his ancestors and became the new "Duke Protector".

Wei Xiuqin became the youngest wife of the Duke, and everyone in Beijing envied her.

Wei Xiuqin is already pregnant with her second child, and the due date is in October. According to Yue Chaocheng's whisper after feeling the pulse, this child is probably a son.

Wei Xiuqin wrote a letter back, asking her parents to bring her younger siblings to Beijing for a reunion.She thought that her younger brothers and sisters were also getting older, and they were better than those in their hometown in the countryside, whether they were studying or choosing marriages in Beijing.

The news spread back to the Wei family in Luzhou, and even the county magistrate went to congratulate him in person.

Many jealous people in the court saw that Dugu Kai was now a high-ranking man, and he was trusted by the emperor and the princess, but he didn't even have a concubine, so they all wanted to marry their daughters over.

Dugu Kai thought about what he had promised the princess, and his wife was virtuous, and he was so loving with him, and went through hardships together. There was really no need to marry another one to make her sad, so he declined all of them.

All of a sudden, the reputation of the protector of the country spread throughout the city of Chang'an. Wei Xiuqin, the wife of the protector of the country, made countless girls envious and jealous...
