If the prince and Jiancheng were not killed, there would be no need to be eliminated. However, Jiancheng and Yuanji's seven sons were all deposed as commoners.

The wives, concubines and children of commoner Li Jiancheng and commoner Li Yuanji were all moved to the palace to be imprisoned and kept in surveillance.

"Duke Wu'an, Your Highness the Crown Prince invites you to go to the Eastern Palace with your chariot." Gongsun Wuda came over and said to Li Chao with a smile.

Since Li Shimin has been made the crown prince, he should enter the Eastern Palace.

Just as the meeting in the Golden Palace ended, Li Shimin sent Li Yuan back to the palace, but he actually rushed to Li Yuan's feet and started crying, and even made an exaggerated move of kneeling and sucking.

Li Chao blushed at the time.

He could not even tell whether Li Shimin was purely performing a show or showing his true feelings at that time. Anyway, Li Shimin really hugged Li Yuan, knelt in front of him, and sucked the emperor's.

While sucking Li Shimin, he promised the emperor that he would always be filial to the emperor in the future, and he would always live in Tai Chi Palace, and he would live in the East Palace.

Li Shimin asked Li Yuan to return from Linhu Hall to Tai Chi Hall and return to Ganlu Hall.

However, for Li Yuan, it was just that the prison was expanded from a palace like Linhu Hall to the entire Tai Chi Palace. Wherever Li Shimin lived, he was already the master of the empire.

The only thing Li Yuan was quite pleased that Li Shimin did not kill Jiancheng and Yuanji in the end, nor did he kill his seven grandsons.

Li Shimin did not kill seven nephews, just because he agreed with Li Chao's words and thought he was able to control the situation. If the two brothers did not kill them, the seven nephews would not have to be killed. If he had killed two brothers before, these seven nephews would naturally not be able to stay.

Li Chao walked towards Li Shimin's chariot.

Li Shimin smiled and waved to him, "Sanlang, go to the carriage and go to the East Palace together!"

When you lie down, you will be on the same bed, and when you go out, you will be on the same chariot.

Li Shimin really took this attitude to the extreme, which was an extremely rewarding to Li Chao, but Li Chao always felt a little uncomfortable and too much.

It is enough to be named the first hero of the Xuanwu Sect. Now that he is so kind, even Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling do not have that, those people are all riding horses by the chariot.

Gongsun Wuda and Liu Shili, the generals who also participated in the Xuanwu Gate Incident and made great contributions, all of them were a little envious and even a little jealous.

"From today, all military and national affairs will be handed over to the prince's ruling in advance and then reported!"

Li Yuan's edict handed over the state power to the crown prince. The focus of the edict was to first hand over to the crown prince for ruling, and as for reporting it, it was just reporting it.

For Li Shimin, the emperor's compromise and concession gave the Tang Dynasty a key step in a rapid and peaceful transition. This was the most beautiful result, and for Li Shimin, it was a good result that he could not imagine.

He not only became the crown prince, but also the crown prince of the governor.

"Your Highness, I never thought that Your Highness would give me the title of Young Master Secretary. Young Master Secretary of the Zhanshi Mansion is so important, I dare not accept it!"

Shao Zhanshi is equivalent to the Shangshu Youpushe in the court. Speaking of which, he is slightly higher than the left and right concubines.

"You are enough to take on this important task, don't refuse, I need you!"

On the same day, on February 26, Li Shimin became the crown prince and entered the Eastern Palace. On the same day, Tiance Prefecture was removed, and Li Shimin also removed several important positions, including the Shangshu Ling, the governor of Yongzhou, the governor of the capital, the general of the twelve guards, the general of Tiance, the general of the three dukes, etc.

The carriage went from Tai Chi Palace to the Eastern Palace. Along the way, the eunuchs of the palace were still frightened.

The entire Tai Chi Palace is now surrounded by a large army, and the generals who are commanding the troops are Li Shixin's most trusted generals.

The entire Chang'an City is still under the rigor and strictness.

Although the pardon was issued, the entire Eastern Palace tried hard to open his eyes, very alert to the movements.

The carriage enters the East Palace.

Mingde Hall.

Li Shimin looked at his team and gathered together.

Not only were there old subordinates of the Qin Palace, but also had former subordinates of the Eastern Palace, Wang Gui and Wei Ting, who were appointed as counselors. Feng Li, Xie Shufang, Xue Wanche and other generals were also given official positions.

Generals such as Yuchi Gong, Cheng Yaojin and others showed disdain for former Eastern Palace officials such as Wang Gui, especially Feng Li, Xie Shufang, Ke Dazhi and others.

Li Chao is quite polite to these people.

He knew very clearly that Li Shimin would reuse these people whether it was for the sake of reputation or political needs. In the past, Li Shimin was the King of Qin, and his goal was to compete for the crown prince. Now, he is the crown prince. If he wants to manage the world, he cannot only use the old subordinates of the King of Qin, but also other people.

For emperors, balance is extremely important. If all the ministers are united, then the emperor will not be considered. Although Li Shimin is young, he is quite experienced in this regard.

He used the emperor's people, the palace's people, and the old subordinates of the Qin King to form the current team of the Eastern Palace.

The first meeting of the Eastern Palace was actually very simple. It was a ceremony. Get to know each other and then it ended. The meeting ended and a small meeting had to be held. This was the time to discuss the matter.

The most important small team in the Eastern Palace are Zhan Shishiyu, Wen Shiji, Shao Zhan Shishi, Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, the right concubine's son Gao Shilian, and Fang Xuanling.

In addition, the prince Zhongyunren, Zhongsheren, Prince Xima, Zhan Shifu Chief, Zhan Shifu Chief, etc.

The bachelor of the Qinwang Mansion was changed to the bachelor of Chongwenguan in the East Palace. Li Chao, Yu Wenshi, Changsun Wuji and others all added the title of Grand Secretary of the Chongwenguan.

"Now, we are sitting in the East Palace. What is the first thing we want to do?"

Li Shimin asked everyone here.

"Restore order!" Fang Xuanling said.

"Please the place!" Du Ruhui also said.

Li Chao sat there and didn't say anything without asking him. He made up his mind and said less and read more. Anyway, he made great contributions in Xuanwu Gate, so there is no need to show off everywhere. It is not a good thing to show too much.

"Wen Yuan, what do you think we are going to do the first thing we have to do?" Li Shimin did not let him go and asked directly.

Since he had asked, Li Chao bowed and answered.

"Crown Prince, I think it is important to restore order and appease the local area, but the most important thing is the capital. Especially the military power must be strictly controlled. Now, what we need is to readjust the Chang'an imperial guard system and strengthen the control of the imperial guard army!"

Li Shimin thought about it. During the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Chang'an's imperial guard system exposed many problems.

"Then what do you think you should do?"

"First, adjust the generals of the 12 guards and four prefectures, second, abolish the 12 Guanzhong Army, third, reorganize the Northern Access Imperial Guard."

There were many troops in Chang'an City, including the twelve guards, the soldiers of the twelve guards, the imperial guards of the emperor, the three guards and five guards, the left and right gate guards and the left and right Qianniu guards, as well as the prince and six guards, etc., which were 60,000 to 70,000 people.

With so many troops, the command system is quite complex. There are the command of the Ministry of War, the four prefectures of the Twelve Guards, and the division of the twelve generals in the relevant twelve Guards. In addition, the troops like the Emperor's Imperial Guards that are not affiliated with the Twelve Guards system have many and complicated troops in Chang'an.

Especially for the emperor, except for the thousands of inner guards, all the other soldiers came from the government soldiers from all over the country. They took turns to the public and basically came home after a month's work. The emperor was not familiar with these soldiers at all.

For this reason, Li Yuan had only 20,000 Yuan Cong's Imperial Guards before.

Last time, he transferred 10,000 to Longyou, but later Li Yuan recruited another 10,000, and still maintained 20,000 people. But the ten thousand behind him was recruited, which was far inferior to the previous one.

Li Yuan's 20,000 yuan was always located in the north of Xuanwu Gate from the Imperial Army, also known as the North Gate Imperial Army, which was the beginning of the Imperial Army of the Tang Dynasty.

This imperial guard is also a rotating guard, but it has a fixed guard.

Li Chao reminded Li Shimin that the North Gate is very important, but the North Gate Imperial Guard is Li Yuan's direct army. It is not enough to just send generals to take over. It is best to transfer this army directly and replace a Li Shimin's army to garrison the North Gate.

There is no need to keep the 12th Army in Guanzhong, as this is different from the 12th Guards’ ideas.

The Twelve Guards are troops commanders, but the military palaces are scattered in various places and cannot be directly commanded. Moreover, the military palaces of the Twelve Guards are also incorrectly formed. In the same county, there may be soldiers from all guards.

But the 12th Army is different. The 12th Army is divided into local areas. For example, the flag-supervised the soldiers of several counties around Wannian County. No matter which military guard in these counties belongs to him, he will be under his control. Although there are many restrictions on this management, it breaks the design idea of ​​the mutual supervision of the 12th Guards.

Li Chao meant that he had to strengthen supervision and prevention of the army, and the 12th army was abolished, and the 2nd army was abolished.

Li Chao advised Li Shimin to establish his own imperial guard.

A North Access Guard outside the twelve guards.

The twelve guards of the Ministry of War can later be called the Southern Ya Imperial Guards, while the Imperial Guards stationed in the North Gate are directly led by the emperor and stationed outside Xuanwu Gate. This army is not a mansion soldier, but a permanent recruitment.

Just like Yang Guang's Xiaoguo.

"Then change the left and right guards to the left and right guards, and the left and right guards to the left and right Jinwu Guards. From then on, the north gate was no longer stationed by the left and right guards, but instead recruited and selected an elite force. They were stationed in the north gate, and were not affiliated with the Ministry of War, but were directly led by the orphans. As for the name, they were called the left and right Yulin Army. As for the number, they were determined first of ten thousand!"

Raising ten thousand permanent Yulin Army and stationed in the North Gate will undoubtedly make Li Shimin feel more at ease.

"By Zhang Liang is the General of the Left Yulin, and Hou Junji is the General of the Right Yulin!"

For the candidates for the commander of this Northern Gate Guard, Li Shimin finally chose the two most trusted confidants. The Yulin Army did not belong to the Ministry of War or the Minister of the Shangshu Province, and Li Shimin personally led it, but he also had to have generals help to command.

"Yongzhou was changed to Jingzhao Prefecture, Yongzhou's governor was Jingzhao Yin. Li Chao was promoted to Jingzhao Yin, Yu Zhining and Yu Shinan were promoted to Shaoyin."

Li Shimin suddenly caught Li Chao off guard again.

Yongzhou was changed to Jingzhao Prefecture. The original prefect Li Shimin was just a vain leader, but in fact he was under the leadership of Yang Gongren and Gao Shilian. However, after Li Shimin changed the prefecture to the prefecture, he asked Li Chao and Yu Zhining and Yu Shinan to take over this position.

Jingzhao Yin, this is the mayor of the capital, which is equivalent to the official Bao Heizi was in the Northern Song Dynasty. Of course, this official did not investigate cases all day long, but in fact, this official is quite important.

On the ground of the capital, this person has the final say!

"Your Highness, I dare not accept this position!"

"Let you think you are."

"Your Highness is really incompatible with the system. I am both the General of Zuo Yiwei and the Gyeonggi-do. Now I am the Prime Minister of the Gyeongsho. This is not appropriate."

"I have the final say whether it is suitable or not. I am now in need of your help. Yang Gongren is now the Chief of the Procuratorate or the Minister of Personnel, and he must focus on the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Personnel. Gao Shilian has to manage the Youchunfang of the East Palace, and there are many things to do."

"Your Highness, I am still the Young Master of the East Palace!"

Li Shimin refused to take it back because the ground in the capital now needs someone like Li Chao.
Chapter completed!
