The news of Cheng Wuting's death spread throughout the military camp. The generals and soldiers in the military camp had already surrendered and had no power to fight back. The rebels who were still fighting fiercely with the Longwu Army outside the military camp also surrendered when they heard the news.

Cheng Wuting's death in battle and the defeat of the rebels meant that the entire army of Pei Yan's forces was wiped out.

Because whether it is Li Xian or Li Jingye, he is just an ally of Pei Yan, and he is definitely not something that Pei Yan can order at will. Regardless of whether Li Xian or Li Jingye's Yangzhou rebellion can succeed, it has nothing to do with Pei Yan.

Pei Yan knew that his death was approaching, so he sat in front of the table, drank himself and waited for the last moment to arrive.

Like Cheng Wuting, he did not want to surrender to the foolish monarch. He had to die with dignity even if he died!

Yao Chong saw that Pei Yan was stubborn as if he was not afraid of boiling water. He wanted to send someone to capture Pei Yan and question him, but Yang Yao stopped him.

The battle situation was quite urgent before. Only by Yao Chong's resolute position on the emperor's side could he turn the tide. It can be said that he made great contributions. But Yang Yao then remembered that he didn't know the name of this great hero!

Yang Yao patted Yao Chong's blood-stained armor and smiled, "I am so confused. I haven't asked the general's name yet?"

As the emperor, he also condescends himself to neglect in front of his ministers.

Yao Chong was just a military officer who was a seventh or eighth rank. He was flattered and kneeled down on the ground. "I am not good at protecting the emperor, and I hope the emperor will punish him!"

It turned out that Yao Chong, who was as famous as Song Jing, created the famous prime minister in the Kaiyuan prosperous era!

Yang Yao held Yao Chong's hand that was still covered in blood and sweat, and said in a deep voice, "Yao Aiqing, Cheng Wuting has been killed in battle. I have promoted Yao Aiqing to replace Cheng Wuting and Zuo Yulin General, take over the imperial guards of Cheng Wuting's troops, and stabilize the situation in Luoyang."

Yao Chong was promoted from a Sicang army to the General of the Central Army of the Right Yulin Guard, which was soaring to the sky. The General of the Left Yulin Guard was vacant, and the General of the Central Army was the supreme commander of the Left Yulin Guard. The General of the General of the General was deliberately kept by Yang Yao for Yao Chong. When he had a year of experience in the General of the First Army, he stabilized the situation in Luoyang, he would be promoted again.

Yao Chong's loyalty and bloody battle were rewarded with great rewards, and he kowtowed again and thanked him for his gratitude.

Before, Zhang Qianxu, who was a fence-bearer, was very embarrassed. The emperor seemed to turn a blind eye to him and did not arrange any specific work.

Yang Yao glanced at Zhang Qianxu with a cold look. When he thought that Zhang Qianxu was still sitting in the mountain watching the tiger fight, he was full of anger and wished he could immediately order Zhang Qianxu to be dragged down and chopped him down. However, Zhang Qianxu chose to abandon the darkness and turn to the light at the last moment, which was considered a contribution to protecting the emperor.

Moreover, Tubo and Khitan are eyeing each other. After all, Zhang Qianxu is also a long-time general on the battlefield and his performance on the battlefield is also good. Today, the Tang Dynasty has lost a powerful general Cheng Wuting, and can no longer cut off his arms. He kills and cleanses military bosses indiscriminately. What is the difference between the behavior of tiger moms?

Yang Yao suppressed his anger and barely squeezed out a smile, "General Zhang, I want you to lead an army of 20,000 north to pursue the Khitans, capture Li Jinzhong and Sun Wanrong alive. I am waiting for General Zhang's good news!"

The emperor's military mission not only gave Zhang Qianxu a chance to lose his merits, but also deprived Zhang Qianxu of most of his military power, and only gave him 20,000 troops to command, and the other 40,000 to 50,000 troops were directly taken over by the emperor.

Now that things have come to this point, it is a blessing that Zhang Qianxu will not be settled later. He dares not resist, so he can only take the order respectfully.

Di Renjie brought all the middle and low-level officials who had previously jointly stood on the emperor's side to pay tribute to the emperor. Of course, he also wanted to ask these officials for rewards. After all, this was the first wave of court officials who were willing to stand on the emperor's side. The emperor should give rewards and appease everyone.

Di Renjie was also one of the heroes who turned the tide this time. The matter of installing spies and being spy-lined was not Yang Yao's instruct, but Di Renjie found out all the private crimes of Pei Yan alone and also obtained the most direct evidence to overturn Pei Yan. When the situation was stalemate before, these evidences became the last straw to overwhelm Pei Yan!

He is worthy of being the number one prime minister of the Tang Dynasty!

Yang Yao laughed and met Di Renjie, who was actually only two-faced, but he was with Yang Yao, one in the light and the other in the dark, and cooperated seamlessly.

Di Renjie led a group of officials to bow together.

Yang Yao ordered everyone to calm down and said loudly, "Anyone who signed a name on the joint letter to welcome me back to Luoyang will be promoted to a first-rank official and serve as an official in the three provinces and six ministries."

The so-called first-rank promotion is at least a third-level promotion, and it also serves as a real position, which means a real promotion, rather than a false official level and not a real position.

Of course, the official position in the court is just a little bit, and there will be promotions and demotions.

Yang Yao issued another imperial edict, "Anyone who is accomplice to Pei Yan's chaos in politics will be demoted to the first rank. If the position of the official promoted by me is in conflict with the official position, he will only be appointed to the official rank, or be demoted to the second rank as the official."

"Liu Yizhi, who was accused of Pei Yan, was demoted to the Political Affairs Hall. Liu Yizhi was appointed as Sima of Changzhou, and Wei Siqian was appointed as Sima of Runzhou. He was responsible for his merits and punishments, so he would observe the future results."

"Di Renjie was appointed as the Minister of Personnel, and was a third-rank subordinate of the Secretary of the Central Committee, and entered the Political Affairs Hall."

"Wei Hongmin, the Minister of Taifu, was promoted to the Minister of Revenue, and was the third rank of the Secretary of the Central Committee, and entered the Political Affairs Hall."

"Xue Ne was promoted to the Minister of War, and was a third rank in the Secretariat, and entered the Political Affairs Hall"

"Cen Changqian, who was demoted from the Political Affairs Hall due to the struggle between the Empress Dowager and Pei Yan, was appointed as the Minister of Rites, and Wei Xuantong was appointed as the Minister of Justice, and entered the Political Affairs Hall."

Yang Yao reorganized the Zhengshi Hall on the spot, retaining only the political structure of the Zhengshi Hall and the six ministers, and vacancies all the highest officials of the three provinces, the Secretary Ling, the Secretary Ling, and the Minister of the School, and the Minister of the School, and the Minister of the School, established a court pattern that he could fully control.

This court structure was a decision made by Yang Yao at the suggestion of Shangguan Wan'er.

Xue Ne and Wei Hongmin represent the power of the emperor's direct line;

Di Renjie represents an emerging force that supports the emperor;

Cen Changqian and Wei Xuantong represent the old forces in the court.

Power must be shared by the world to last. Eating alone will inevitably perish.

With Liu Yizhi, Wei Siqian and other officials who were accused of Pei Yan, they should have been completely liquidated according to the bloody political struggle. If they were replaced by a cruel emperor, it would not be an exaggeration to kill him and blood flowed into a river.

But Yang Yao demoted Liu Yizhi and Wei Siqian to Runzhou, the main battlefield of the Yangzhou rebellion, and Changzhou served as Sima, which really gave them a chance.

You and Pei Yan have exposed the Yangzhou rebellion, and you can wipe your butts by yourself. If you can wipe this butt clean, I will forgive you. If you can't wipe it clean, the new and old accounts will be settled together.

As for other officials who took the team wrong, they were only demoted to one or two ranks, and most of them still retained their official positions. What else do they have to be satisfied with?

Especially Liu Yizhi and Wei Siqian, who saved their lives, kowtowed to the emperor with tears in their eyes and thanked him repeatedly, "The saint is so kind that heaven is so kind that heaven is so kind that heaven is so kind!"

Yang Yao was so anxious to reshuffle the court, just for Pei Yan to see.

Lao Pei!
Chapter completed!
