Li Shimin's decision was already very merciful!

"Lord Ye, you have made the greatest contribution to the crisis in Chang'an this time! I appoint you as the Supreme Pillar of the State, the First-Rank General of the Cavalry! I also make an exception and appoint you as the King of the Other Family! Do you have any other requests?"

After Li Shimin finished speaking, all the civil and military officials were shocked! Even Li Zhi and Li Ke's eyes became complicated!

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. I am humbled. The reason why I was able to rescue Your Majesty this time was mainly due to the efforts of the two princes and the ministers who were loyal to you! I was just doing my part!"

"Don't worry, my dear Lord Ye. I will reward you according to your merits!" Li Shimin nodded with a smile!

"My dear ministers, please leave! We will reward you at the morning court tomorrow! My dear minister Ye, you stay!" Li Shimin said to Ye Haoran!

When all the civil and military officials left, Li Shimin sighed, put down his forced spirit, and held his forehead tiredly!

"Your Majesty! I wonder what your purpose is for keeping me here?"

"Lord Ye, you know that I don't have much time left! My greatest wish now is that Zhi'er and Ke'er can be brothers and continue the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty! But now their temperaments are unstable, and it is really difficult for them to take on such a great responsibility!"

"Your Majesty, what do you want me to do?"

"I want to give you the command of the Imperial Guards and the Jinwu Guards!"

"Absolutely not!" Ye Haoran hurriedly refused. Possessing this military power would mean controlling the entire imperial city and holding the lifeline of the Tang Dynasty!

Li Shimin waved his hand to stop Ye Haoran from continuing!

"Lord Ye, when I first saw you, I felt that you were different and had the aura of an emperor!"

Ye Haoran was stunned. The aura of an emperor? So mysterious? Why didn't he notice it? If Li Shimin hadn't been so serious, Ye Haoran would have suspected that he wanted to kill him and made it up on purpose!

"I have appointed you as the King of Qijian, and I hope you will assist the new emperor and help him maintain the stability of the Tang Dynasty with all your heart and soul!"

"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will do my best until my death. But I cannot take the command of the Imperial Guards and the Jinwu Guards!" Ye Haoran still wanted to return to Lingzhou to live freely, but how could he go back after taking over the military power!

"Then let Xiuning take over! She is a girl, and she can't always be away from home fighting! As for the Modao Army, leave it to the black-faced general next to you. I see that he is very brave and capable in charging into battle! He will definitely be able to do the job!"

Stone?

He's just a fourteen-year-old kid? Although he looks a little rushed!

"Your Majesty, please reconsider this. He is still too young! There are many talented and capable generals in the court!"

"But they all have their own camps, you know?"

Ye Haoran was silent!

"Wei Chen understands!"

At the next morning court, Li Shimin rewarded people according to their merits. Yuchi Jingde and Cheng Yaojin were given the King's Whip and the Emperor's Axe!

Li Xiuning is in charge of the Imperial Guards, the Jinwu Guards!

Shitou was appointed as the General of the Modao Army! He was promoted to the rank of Second Rank General of the State! The Modao Army expanded to 5!

A palace coup ends here!

Li Zhi and Li Ke walked out of the palace dejectedly!

"Third brother! What does father mean? Don't you and I have any merits?"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince wants to ascend the throne directly?" Li Ke teased with a smile!

"It is only natural for the throne to be passed to the crown prince. But if you are dissatisfied, you can go to the emperor to argue!"

"Hahahaha! Ninth brother! If it weren't for mother's consideration of her affection for Aunt Zhangsun, I would have definitely fought for it! But now I can make a vow: to defend the western border and ensure the stability of the western border of the Tang Dynasty for the next 30 years! I only hope that my mother can live in peace for a thousand years! I wonder if you can agree, ninth brother!" Li Ke's eyes were filled with tears, and every word he said was sonorous!

Li Zhi nodded heavily!
