The rebellion in the capital was quelled in less than two days.

This was a rebellion planned by Xiao Shaozong throughout his life, but it was quelled within two days. People who did not know the truth only felt that this rebellion seemed nothing, but only those involved knew that although it was less than two days, the danger was extraordinary.

If Xiao Shaozong hadn't been too confident, and if Qi Ning hadn't found the only way to reverse the situation, the result of this rebellion would have been a completely different situation.

When Emperor Longtai walked out of Chengtian Palace, many ministers were relieved, but many people were still frightened.

At least many officials led by Dou Kui were extremely frightened. These people not only followed Xiao Shaozong's orders during the rebellion, but even had discussed that Xiao Shaozong would inherit the throne. This was of course an unforgivable crime.

The emperor issued several decrees in turn.

The first decree was to give Qin Chong, the commander of Xuanwu Camp, who was kneeling down and apologizing.

Qin Chong can be said to be the main general of Xiao Shaozong's rebellion. He commanded nearly 10,000 troops into the capital and besieged the imperial city. He also launched an attack on the imperial city. Although the casualties between the two sides were not very heavy, they also caused hundreds of casualties, which of course was also unforgivable.

After the Xuanwu Camp withdrew, Qin Chong saw the emperor appear and immediately threw down the sword in his hand, and was immediately tied up and controlled by the people from Kyoto Prefecture.

Since the founding of the Great Chu Kingdom, Qin Chong was the first general to point at the imperial city. When Qin Chong was tied to the front of the hall, countless officials begged the emperor to severely punish the rebel generals. However, beyond everyone's expectations, the emperor did not order Qin Chong to behead him. Although he was relieved of Qin Chong's official position, he just transferred Qin Chong to the remote Xichuan Army on the grounds that he had not received the order to transfer the army without receiving the order from the Ministry of War to serve. He did not implicate Qin Chong's family, and even the soldiers from Qin Chong in Xuanwu Camp were not punished.

With Qin Chong's crimes, it was natural to confiscate the family and destroy the family. Even Qin Chong himself thought that the disaster was coming, so after the emperor issued this punishment, the ministers thought they had heard it wrong, and Qin Chong couldn't believe it.

As for the second order, it is quite interesting.

The Black Knife Camp also followed the capital and was besieged in the east gate. When the city was siege, it was still the main force of Xuanwu Camp. However, the Black Knife Camp did not act rashly, and did not move a sword or a soldier. If he walked into the capital and the emperor appeared, the siege battle would immediately stop. The Xuanwu Camp and the Black Knife Camp had quickly evacuated from the capital.

In the decree, Qu Yanzhi was not punished. Instead, the Heilin Camp, which was previously incorporated into the Black Sword Camp, merged the two camps, and they were still led by Qu Yanzhi.

As for the third decree, many ministers were even more uproared.

Since the head is killed, the rest will not investigate.

In the decree, the emperor announced to the world that many civil and military ministers and related people who were involved in this time were all deceived by Xiao Shaozong. Everyone was just worried about the emperor's safety and would be deceived by Xiao Shaozong.

Moreover, except for a very small number of people, others all fulfilled their duties and were loyal to the court.

Many ministers thought that after this rebellion, the court would likely usher in a great purge, but they never expected that the emperor would be so kind.

Xiao Shaozong's rebellion ended in a bleak situation. In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that no one could make trouble after getting rid of Xiao Shaozong.

The emperor did not raise the imperial prison, but he did

It's a big bonus.

The first to be affected was naturally the Yulin Camp that garrisoned the imperial city. Chi Fengdian was killed in the rebellion. The emperor promoted Xu Qing, who made contributions to this rebellion, took over as the commander of the Yulin Camp, but asked Yu Beigu to replace Qin Chong and serve as the new commander of the Xuanwu Camp.

The emperor still did not make the death of Ximen Wuhen, the former Shenhou Mansion of Shenhou Mansion, to the public. Everyone thought that Ximen Wuhen was traveling far away. If Qu Xiaocang was still alive, the position of Shenhou Mansion would naturally be handed over to Qu Xiaocang. However, Qu Xiaocang died in the palace, and more than half of the Beidou Seven Stars of the Shenhou Mansion were killed or injured. The Lianzhen school captain Hongmendao had left the capital not long ago and went to the northwest, so now the Shenhou Mansion is only the two Qu in charge of civil and military affairs.

By the way, neither Han Tianxiao nor Wuqu’s lieutenant could reach the strength of inheriting the Divine Marquis. Therefore, the emperor did not directly issue an order to grant the Divine Marquis title, but instead ordered Han Tianxiao to temporarily take charge of the Divine Marquis Mansion.

As for the Kyoto Prefecture and other relevant personnel, they also received rewards, but the emperor obviously felt that Tiezheng was the most suitable position to be in Kyoto Prefecture, so he was not promoted, but he was given the qualification to enter the palace to meet the saint at any time. Before that, only the four hereditary lords of the empire and the six ministers had the privilege.

But what surprised everyone was that the emperor did not issue an order to reward Qining, who made great contributions in this rebellion.

For Qi Ning personally, he didn't care what reward the emperor had for him. He was satisfied to see that the emperor was safe and sound, and the capital had returned to peace in a short period of time.

Although Xiao Shaozong's sword did not hurt Qi Ning's vital points, it still penetrated Qi Ning's sternum. Although it would not threaten his life, and there was a golden sore medicine from the Shenhou Mansion, the injury could not be healed so quickly. Nothing else was fine. It just happened that once he stood or sat up, the chest would hurt. Therefore, Qi Ning was carried back to the Duke of Huguo from the palace. After a few days, he lay down on the bed to recuperate.

The soldiers who had blocked the Duke of Guguo's Mansion had naturally withdrawn long ago, and the Duke of Guguo's Mansion had also returned to its former peace. More than 200 people in the mansion were still scared.

During these days when they were blocked, except for someone who could go out to purchase food under the surveillance of soldiers, no one could leave the mansion. Everyone was frightened day and night, and no one knew when the disaster was about to come. It was not until Qi Ning returned to the mansion that everyone realized that a disaster was invisible and that there was a great joy of breaking the clouds and fog and seeing the light again.

Tang Nuo finally came back. He personally helped Qi Ning cook medicine these two days, while Ximen Zhanying stayed by his side.

However, without Gu Qinghan in the mansion, Qi Ning seemed to be missing something. Gu Qinghan and Tian Xuerong went out of Beijing to avoid disaster under the protection of the Beggars' Sect. Even Qi Ning didn't know where he was, but he also understood that since the capital had stabilized, the other end of the Beggars' Sect would naturally escort them back to Beijing soon.

At dusk, the old butler Han Shou hurried to report, and Yuan Rong, the eldest son of Yuan's mansion, came to visit him.

In fact, there are so many people who have to visit you in the past two days, but Tang Nuo asked Qi Ning to rest for a few days. If people come and go, it will inevitably affect the recovery of the injury. Therefore, Qi Ning asked the old housekeeper to refuse all the visitors. The officials in the capital also knew that Qi Ning was recovering from the injury, so they no longer came to disturb him. However, the gifts he received in the past few days were piled up in two rooms. Qi Ning refused everyone. This time, he fought for his life to quell the chaos. The rewards from the palace did not come, and there was no psychological burden to receive some generous gifts from the ministers.

After resting for several days, although Qi Ning still felt a little painful when he was violent, he was not seriously injured when he sat up.

"Let Mr. Yuan come here!"

When Yuan Rong entered the room, he sighed: "Mr., do you know that our Yuan family is almost killed by you!"

Qi Ning leaned on the bed and smiled and said, "I thought you were sending a generous gift, so that I realized that you came in. If you came to cause trouble, leave now."

Yuan Rong came over and said, "I have found some ginseng, deer antler, Cordyceps sinensis for you, which are all good supplements, but don't say I came over empty-handed." He sat down on the chair beside the bed and said, "You asked my grandfather to give Tie Zheng the invitation to bring our Yuan family into the water. If Xiao Shaozong's rebellion succeeds and settle the scores in the autumn, our Yuan family will be the first to be your accomplice."

Qi Ning said: "In the face of national crisis, the Yuan family has to work hard for the emperor's favor for the three generations. Why? The old Shangshu asked you to come to settle the score with me?"

"That's not." Yuan Rong laughed and said, "I heard that the situation of your stop and Xiao Shaozong has changed. It's a pity that I didn't see it. It's really a pity. Yes, how are the injuries?"

"This is like a human word." Qi Ning smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. How can you be in the mood to come?"

"It is said that officials in the court came to visit and were turned away by you. I thought that I had a good relationship with you at least, so I wouldn't bet even if I was locked up outside, so I bet with someone five thousand taels of silver, betting that I could come in." Yuan Rong smiled and said, "Fortunately, you gave me face and didn't let me lose these five thousand taels."

Qi Ning reached out and said, "Take the silver, you can only win the bet with me, this silver belongs to me!"

Yuan Rong shrank and said, "I haven't received the money yet, so where can I give you the money? If you have made great contributions this time, the palace will naturally give you a lot of money. Then you will have to spend too much money, and you still care about this mere five thousand taels?"

Qi Ning sighed: "Anyway, I haven't seen a tael of silver in the palace until now."

"This is strange." Yuan Rong said: "Really speaking, if you have made such great contributions, you should naturally be rewarded. You are already a duke, so naturally the emperor will not be able to grant you a king. Until now, there has not been a king of a different surname. Since you cannot be a king, you should give you more benefits in the palace."

Qi Ning said with a slight mouth, "Pour a glass of water to drink!"

Yuan Rong stood up and poured a glass of water, brought it over to feed Qi Ning, and then said, "It's okay if you don't reward you, but the emperor actually spared Dou Kui's killer. I heard that when the army besieged the city, Dou Kui actually instigated many officials to support Xiao Shaozong ascend the throne. This man was very despicable and should cut his head with one knife. There were also those who were tempted by the gang of people who were in danger. When the emperor was in danger, they all turned to Xiao Shaozong. When the rebellion was put down, they wrote a letter to cut Xiao Shaozong's body into pieces. Hehe... they were all officials."

"Does the emperor have an order? How to deal with Xiao Shaozong's body?"

"I heard that the emperor sent someone to bury him well. Although he could not enter the royal clan cemetery, he still found a place near the royal clan cemetery." Yuan Rong sighed: "The emperor is kind, never seen before."
