When the emperor comes to modern times, history collapses!

The voice just fell.

The ministers around were stunned and could not believe what they heard.

"Your Majesty, be careful what you say. What exactly happened?"

"Your Majesty, you must be joking with me, aren't you?"

"I seem to have hallucinated just now. I didn't hear clearly what Your Majesty just said."

"How come this old minister doesn't know how our Great Jin has caused such a catastrophe to the world?"

Those who can stand here are naturally important officials in the court.

If the Great Jin Dynasty were to disappear, the current status would naturally vanish into thin air.

Having endured a lifetime of hardship and finally reached his current position, he naturally would not be willing to lose it easily unless the new emperor could guarantee his position.

Sima Yan said in a deep voice: "I am not crazy, what I just said is true!"

No matter how the ministers dissuaded him, Sima Yan remained unmoved.

Sima Yan knew that whether he issued an edict or not, it would not change the fact that the Jin Dynasty had to change dynasties.

Of course, disbanding the Great Jin is not as simple as just saying it here.

It is also necessary to notify all places, especially those generals who lead troops.

Avoid war to avoid unnecessary casualties.

As for whether the vassal kings would listen or not, Sima Yan felt that he had no control over it, as they would all have to go on the journey together anyway.

As the news spread, the world was shocked!

The Jin Dynasty was established not long ago, but it has been overthrown.

The new dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, was established.

Originally, we wanted to use the name of the Zhenguan era, but Li Shimin of Zhenguan disagreed. We are all Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, and it will be difficult to distinguish them when signing cooperation contracts in the future.

Emperor Wude of Han Dynasty had to change the reign title to Tiance.

Many officials from all over the country were shocked and sent people to the capital to ask what had happened.

As for those vassal kings, if nothing unexpected happens, they will go to the capital under the pretext of serving the king.

When Sima Yan's decree spread to various places.

The soldiers of the Wanchao Allied Forces who were responsible for running the map had also gone to various places.

Sima Liang stood on the stage and shouted: "The peasant Li Shimin rebelled and imprisoned Your Majesty. I have received a secret letter from Your Majesty asking for help. Do you dare to go to the capital with me to fight, kill the rebels, and rescue Your Majesty!"

"Through fire and water, no matter what!"

Several generals under his command knew that the opportunity had come.

The talk of rescuing the emperor is all fake. If we really attack the capital, the one we’ll see is the new emperor.

Then I would be a great hero, having the merit of following the dragon. In the future, I would be able to get whatever I want.

Sima Liang was still on the stage making pre-war mobilization.

A scout hurried over.

"Your Majesty, something bad has happened. An unknown army of about 200,000 soldiers has appeared five miles away, flying the Yanhuang flag."

Sima Liang knew that it was the army flying the Yanhuang flag that invaded the capital and imprisoned Sima Yan.

His face turned pale immediately: "How is it possible? The area within a radius of thirty miles is under my surveillance. How did they get here? This person is spreading false military intelligence. Take him down and execute him!"

"Your Majesty, I am innocent. I was not mistaken. The Yanhuang Army did appear."

Haven't waited to pull it out yet.

Several war horses ran over.

Several more scouts reported with horrified expressions.

The content was almost the same. Five miles away, an army of about 200,000 people appeared and were heading here.

Several scouts said so, which made Sima Liang and the people present look terrified.

"What on earth is going on? I have already sent many scouts to guard the area within a radius of thirty miles. How did they get close to here without being discovered?"

"General, there is only one possibility, that is a traitor!"

"Yes, with an army of 200,000, it's hard not to be discovered. There must be more than one traitor!"

Sima Liang thought so too.

In their own base camp, the army approached within five miles.

What a joke.

Unless all of our scouts are blind, how could they not discover it?

"Fortunately, my army is here. Since they dare to come and seek death, I will send them on their way. Let me take a look at this Yanhuang Army. What ability do they have to come here!"

Several generals received orders to go fight.

Sima Liang ordered several personal guards.

"The other party has bad intentions. You should return to the palace immediately and ask the princess to pack up her valuables and leave."

Being able to approach within five miles quietly, Sima Liang felt that his subordinates had been infiltrated like a sieve.

But the other party was already right in front of us, and there was no time to find the traitor.

If a fight really breaks out, there is a high possibility of defeat.

Meng Tian led an army of 200,000 and advanced quickly.

Soon they encountered a large army coming to block them.

Li De looked at the army opposite and felt disappointed.

The news is true, there are 200,000 troops, no more and no less.

Meng Tian held the loudspeaker and said: "You have already received the imperial edict. Do you think you can disobey it?"

Sima Yan's final imperial edict has spread to all parts of the country.

Meng Tian knew it, and the opposing generals must have known it.

Just as Meng Tian thought, General Li De did know.

But at that time I didn't take it seriously at all.

The situation is different now. The 200,000-strong army was discovered only when they were five miles away. Li De knew that Sima Liang would undoubtedly be defeated.

They have been infiltrated like a sieve, how can we fight them?

Li De smiled and said, "I am Li De, may I know your name, General?"

"I will never change my name or surname. I am Meng Tian of the Great Qin!"

"Meng Tian?" Li De was stunned.

He knew who Meng Tian was, a powerful general of the Qin Dynasty, and guessed that it must be a coincidence.

He said with a smile on his face: "It turns out to be General Meng. I received news earlier that a large army is coming. I am here to greet you. Please don't misunderstand me!"

Meng Tian sneered in his heart, what kind of welcome? It was obvious that he saw that he couldn't win.

Who will welcome us with tens of thousands of troops?

If it was a foreign race, Meng Tian would kill them without saying a word.

We are all descendants of Yan and Huang, we certainly cannot just kill them directly. It would be better if we can subdue the enemy without fighting.

"I have never seen a group of people holding weapons to greet people. If you don't know, you might think General Li is here to stop us."

"It was a mistake. It was purely a mistake. Your army was in high spirits and full of murderous intent, so we subconsciously adopted a defensive formation." Li De waved his hand and ordered all the soldiers to put down their weapons.

If you plan to surrender, you must do your best.

Meng Tian was not polite either. He waved his arm and ordered his men to come forward and collect the weapons.

"General Li, where is Sima Liang now?"

"The old thief Sima is just a few miles ahead."

"Thanks for letting me know!"

After arranging 20,000 people to guard the place, Meng Tian led his army forward.

When encountering obstacles, use guns and cannons to clear the way.

They marched straight into Sima Liang's barracks.

All of Sima Liang's troops were captured.

"I am Sima Liang, the King of Runan, and I want to see your Majesty!"

Verify your identity and confirm that it is correct.

Meng Tian smiled and said, "Who are you? You just want to see our emperor. Sima Liang disobeyed the order and his entire family was executed, including his entire clan!"

Sima Liang was shocked. He was the King of Runan of the Jin Dynasty, and even if he was captured, he would be treated preferentially.

I never expected that the other party would not play according to the rules.

Not only will they kill me, but they will also execute my entire family and exterminate all nine generations of my clan!

Even in the Qin Dynasty, no one was so cruel. "Impossible, you must have forged the emperor's order. Even if the new emperor ascended the throne, it is impossible for him to kill us without saying anything! I want to see Li Shimin!"

"You are one of the instigators of the Eight Princes Rebellion, and indirectly caused the tragic deaths of millions of Han people. You still have the nerve to live. Take me away and behead me in public!"

Almost at the same time.

In other places, the princes were besieged by large armies.

The weapons and equipment were not from the same era at all, and a large army suddenly appeared not far away.

There was no time to take effective defense.

Several core figures of the Rebellion of the Eight Kings in history: Sima Liang, King of Runan, Sima Wei, King of Chu, Sima Lun, King of Zhao, Sima Jiong, King of Qi, Sima Yi, King of Changsha, Sima Ying, King of Chengdu, Sima Yong, King of Hejian, and Sima Yue, King of Donghai. All of them were captured before they could lead their troops to the capital.

In addition, other vassal kings did not escape either.

All of them were taken down without a single one left.

The princes who once dominated one side were easily taken down.

The generals and soldiers of the Great Jin no longer had any thoughts of resistance.

They all surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin looked at the intelligence coming from various places and smiled: "Yes, it's faster than expected."

Now in the court.

There are only a few officials left from the former Jin dynasty.

When pacifying various places.

Li Shimin was not idle either.

The Jinyiwei, who was requested from Wude Li Yuan, carefully investigated the ministers in the court.

According to the laws of the Wude period, the court began to be reorganized.

There are millions of troops sent by Zhu Ming.

Li Shimin planned to reorganize the Tang Dynasty all at once.

"Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty is in short supply of officials. It would be best if we could hold an imperial examination to recruit some talents!"

"I have this plan, but it's a bit troublesome without paper."

Zhu Ming smiled and said, "It's simple. Let's build a paper mill first. We have the technology and it can be built quickly."

Li Shimin was overjoyed: "Brother Zhu, I'm sorry to bother you with this matter. I will grant you the land you like now. I'll also bother you with other factories."

"Just check what you need, count them and tell me."

"I know that you all value houses. We killed some corrupt officials these days and found a nice garden. I'll give it to Brother Zhu."

Zhu Ming smiled and said, "Thank you very much."

The situation in Dajin changed.

At the beginning, people were very panicked.

Every war will bring great harm to the people.

People hid in their homes.

To avoid being drafted.

A few days later, I realized that the situation was different this time.

Soldiers will also enter during the search.

But it was not as the legend said. After they went there, they rummaged around and took away valuable things.

Instead, he behaved properly, handled things with care, and did not take away even a single needle or thread.

If the water tank at home is not full, the soldiers will help fetch water.

If it's some manual labor, I'll help out.

This made the people feel a little more favorable towards the newly emerging Tang Dynasty.

Seeing this, many people no longer hid in their homes.

Luoyang City.

It was once the capital of the Jin Dynasty and is now the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

After a few days of depression, the number of pedestrians on the streets returned to normal.

The busiest place is Caishikou.

Former Jin officials were beheaded every day.

"Recruiting workers, we are building a paper mill outside the city. We need 3,000 laborers. Meals are provided at noon. The daily wage is 10 kilograms of food, plus 1 kilogram of meat and 2 kilograms of vegetables. Anyone who is willing to work, please come here to register!"

Many people gathered around after hearing this.

Now is not the busy farming season, and for ordinary people, having some extra income is something they would love to have.

"Is this true? We provide lunch at noon, 10 kilograms of grain, 1 kilogram of meat and 2 kilograms of vegetables every day."

"If what you said is true, I don't want meat, I just want ten kilograms of food."

"I can do any job, you must choose me."

"I can work and I don't eat much, so I just need to be fed."

I saw more and more people gathering.

The recruiting official shouted with a loud speaker: "Let me be frank with you. If you are lazy or slack, once you are found, not only will you lose your wages, but you will also be banned from future jobs. Our Tang Dynasty has just been established and we will be looking for people to work frequently in the future. Don't let laziness prevent you from finding work in the future."

"No, I can cultivate several acres of land by myself every day. I never slack off."

"If anyone is really lazy, I'll tell you."

The official held a megaphone and said: “If you want to work, please register here.”

Most of the people who gathered signed up to participate.

The quantity was still not enough, but the officials were not worried at all. They sat there quietly drinking tea and waiting.

Those who had already registered left in a hurry, ready to tell their relatives and friends about what happened here.

Not long after, another group of people came.

The three thousand people were quickly recruited.

Now that the workers have the skills, they still need to undergo some basic training.

After all, many people have never seen things like cement and some tools, let alone used them.

Li Shimin hired some skilled workers from Wude Tang in advance.

Most of the work is very simple and ordinary people can get started quickly.

For more complicated procedures, there will be technical workers to teach specifically.

The first day is only half a day.

In the evening, several large trucks slowly drove over.

"Everyone, line up and collect food according to the teams you were told to collect. Don't worry, there will be all of it. You will get your share, but if anyone dares to collect more, they will be taken to the government office and locked up in jail. Everyone, look carefully, this is 1, one, two, three, four, 1. Team 1 is here to collect today's wages. You only worked half a day today, so you will only get half the wages. The same goes for meat and vegetables."

I took the opportunity to promote the numbers.

"Is this five kilograms of food?"

The people who received the food weighed the food in their hands in surprise and felt that it was much heavier than they had imagined.

A jin in the Jin Dynasty was different from a jin in later generations, weighing only more than 220 grams.

The food distributed now is based on one catty and five hundred grams.

It's still five kilograms, but it's obviously more than twice as heavy.

Li Shimin took over here and prepared for all-round changes.

In line with other dynasties.

Other dynasties all followed the standards of later generations, and Li Shimin was naturally the same.

"A new dynasty implements a new standard. Here we have a beam scale. One jin in the Jin dynasty is 224 grams, and one jin in the Tang dynasty is 500 grams. From now on, we will follow the Tang dynasty's standard."

With more food, the people will definitely be happy.

"Good, good, good, the Tang Dynasty is still the best!"

"It turns out that the Great Jin Dynasty has been shortchanging us. No wonder it fell."

"Deserved it."

"I didn't expect there would be food to be collected. I was thinking I would have worked for nothing today."

"It seems that the Tang Dynasty is indeed better than the Jin Dynasty."

Li Shimin stood in the crowd with a smile on his face.

It won’t be long before few people will miss the Great Jin Dynasty anymore.

The people's hearts are with me! (End of this chapter)
