In ancient times, I just wanted to be a salted fish

Chen Ruotong suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps. She looked closely and found that Qiao Zien, covered in blood, was slowly walking towards the Chen Mansion.

She was startled and hurriedly came out of the space, quickly opened the side door, and said softly: "Zi En, come in quickly."

Qiao Zien dragged her tired body into the door, and Chen Ruotong asked with concern: "Zien, are you okay?"

Qiao Zien forced a smile and replied, "It's okay, things have calmed down. I just want to have a good sleep now." After saying that, he felt that he was about to collapse.

Chen Ruotong looked at Qiao Zien distressedly and said, "Okay, come with me."

As she spoke, she led Qiao Zien to a guest room.

Chen Ruotong immediately entered the space, filled a bathtub with warm water, and took it out of the space and placed it in the bathroom.

Then she took out a new set of clothes and placed them neatly beside the bed.

"Zi En, take a shower first and change into clean clothes. Call me if you need anything. I'm next door. Good night."

Qiao Zien nodded, and after Chen Ruotong left the room, he walked into the bathroom, took off his blood-stained clothes, and jumped into the warm water.

The temperature of the water made him feel comfortable and his tense nerves gradually relaxed.

After taking a shower, he put on the clothes prepared by Chen Ruotong, lay down on the soft bed, closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep.

As a ray of morning light slowly rose and the soft light spread to every corner of the capital, the people of the capital began to walk out of their homes one after another and start a new day.

However, when they stepped out of the door, what they saw shocked them - the blood-stained streets were shocking!

Most people clearly remembered the thrilling rebellion last night, and only a few people were so soundly asleep that they did not notice the incident. But when they heard the news, they were also shocked.

Although the bodies of the rebels had been cleaned up by the officers, the air was still filled with a strong smell of blood, as if reminding people of the tragedy of last night.

After resting for most of the night, Qiao Zien gradually recovered his strength. He simply packed up and went out to the dining room.

At this moment, everyone in the Chen family was sitting in the dining room waiting for Qiao Zien to have dinner together.

After Qiao Zien arrived, everyone talked about what happened last night while eating.

It turned out that just last night, Emperor Xuanwu detained all the ministers and their families in the palace on the pretext of inviting them to the palace for dinner.

Afterwards, Emperor Xuanwu ordered the arrest of all ministers related to Liang Yachi and imprisoned them in the cold palace.

In the cold palace, Emperor Xuanwu forced these ministers to admit the fact of collusion with Liang Yachi, and produced a large number of correspondence as conclusive evidence.

Faced with such overwhelming evidence, the ministers knew that the truth had been revealed and they could not deny it, so they could only reluctantly admit their crimes.

Finally, they begged Emperor Xuanwu to show mercy and spare the lives of the old and young in their family.

Liang Yachi knew very well that the young emperor was setting up a Hongmen Banquet and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to attack him.

In this case, he decided not to sit and wait for death, but resolutely raised the banner of rebellion and prepared to break into the palace and capture Emperor Xuanwu alive.

However, what he never expected was that the 20,000 elite troops outside the city had already fallen into Zhen Yu's control, and did not enter the city to support him as he wished.

At this moment, Liang Yachi was in a dilemma and could only continue to act.

He personally led a team to charge towards the palace, but was stubbornly blocked by a large number of royal guards.

At this critical moment, Wei Bufan took the opportunity to stab Liang Yachi with a sword, and the rebel died.

As the bandit leader fell, the soldiers who followed him suddenly lost their backbone, dropped their weapons and chose to surrender.

At the same time, another team composed of Liang Yachi's men disguised themselves as bandits, burning, killing, looting and creating chaos in the capital.

Among this group of bandits, there was a leader who ultimately could not escape punishment and was killed on the spot by Qiao Zien.

After listening to Qiao Zien's narration, the Chen family were all stunned and terrified.

They didn't expect that such an earth-shattering event could happen in just one night.

Rebellion, killing the rebel leader Liang Yachi...this series of events made the Chen family sigh that the world is unpredictable.

"Now that the negative factors of the Daliang Dynasty have been eliminated, the world should be peaceful!" Old man Chen said with emotion.

After the meal, Qiao Zien left and returned to the Marquis' Mansion, while Chen Ruotong hurried to the Huicui Building to check the damage there.

When she rushed to Hui Cui Building, she found that the situation was much better than she had imagined.

Only two windows on the first floor were broken, but the thick curtains were still tightly covering them, preventing people outside from seeing the situation inside the building.

At this time, Chen Sanhe and others were busy cleaning up the broken glass on the ground.

After a morning of careful renovation, the doors and windows of Huicui Building were finally restored to their original state and look brand new.

Afterwards, Chen Ruotong took all the goods out of the space and put them back in place, and everything returned to its original state.

At this time, the Regent's Palace had been completely sealed off, and all the items in the palace had been searched thoroughly. In particular, a large amount of silver, gold, silver, jewelry and various valuables were found in the storeroom.

The news that the regent Liang Yachi was dead caused a huge shock to the entire capital, which was really gratifying.

Faced with such a situation, the princess consort, concubines, legitimate daughters and illegitimate daughters in the palace were all panicked.

Some people fainted from fright, while others burst into tears.

The servants were even more panicked and didn't know what to do.

These people were about to face a tragic fate: they would either be exiled to border areas or sent to the Jiaofangsi to become official prostitutes.

Not only that, Liang Yachi's five legitimate sons and several illegitimate sons could not escape the fate. They would be sentenced to death and end their young lives.

At the same time, Liang Yachi's followers were also thrown into prison. Depending on the severity of their crimes, some were sentenced to death, some were sent to prison, and some were exiled three thousand miles away.

Finally, the mansions of those officials were all confiscated, and the total value of all the silver, gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, jade and other valuables seized from their homes was over one million taels of silver.

This huge amount of wealth will be added to the national treasury, which will undoubtedly be an important source of fiscal revenue for the country.

Chen Ruotong couldn't help but sigh: "This little emperor is really cruel!"

However, as a ruler, if you are not decisive and ruthless enough, how can you govern such a huge country?

From this incident, the little emperor showed a decisive side, demonstrated certain leadership skills, courage, and potential. Perhaps he can become an excellent emperor and lead the country to prosperity.

This event was a great gift to all the people before the Chinese New Year. The people all applauded and the event became a hot topic among the people.
