The rebels began to swarm again. Xue Rengui saw the rebels rushing up again. With a loud shout of "kill", Fang Tian drew a halberd in his hand and moved it like clouds and flowing water. Just a few heads in one sweep. The ten veteran guards are very experienced and will not confront the enemy head-on. Just attack behind Xue Rengui.

However, there were too many rebels, and Li Shen's ten guards began to get injured. The Hundred Cavalry arranged by Li An also suffered casualties, and the situation became critical. Suddenly, the shouts of killing came from far away and came closer.

"Kill. Protect the emperor."

"Come on, kill this old thief Ashina Guilin."

"Come, rush, save, save."

Li Shen knew that the Yulin guards outside had broken through the palace gate. He also walked to the door. He shouted loudly, "Only the leader of the rebels will be killed, and the remaining rebels will not be killed."

"Only kill the leader of the thieves, not those who surrender"

"Only kill the leader of the thieves, not those who surrender"

Ten guards also shouted. Li Shen said this because he was afraid that these people would jump over the wall and fight to the death. Except for the wounded, none of his ten guards have died. This is his wealth. Don't let it be an injustice if a few people die in the end.

There are five or sixty rebels left. I heard the shouts of killing from behind, and I heard the shouts from the front that those who surrender will not be killed. After hesitating for a while, someone started shouting surrender and rushed to the side. If there is one who takes the lead, then there will be those who follow. At one time, more than half of the people ran out of the rebel ranks.

"Bastard, come back quickly. They lied to you." Ashina said in an extremely corrupt manner after seeing this.

"All those who surrendered should go to that wall and throw away their weapons. Put your hands on your head and kneel down. I promise not to kill you." Li Shen quickly promised after seeing so many people.

"Rengui, go and capture the Ashina Association." Li Shen told Xue Rengui,

"It's the prince." Xue Rengui didn't waste any time, he held Fang Tian's painted halberd and killed him. How could the remaining dozen or so people be Xue Rengui's opponents. However, Ashina's association was captured in Xue Rengui's hands after just five moves. Since then, a treasonous assassination has ended.

Xue Rengui captured Ashina and led the army. The Yulin Guard finally arrived. The remaining rebels, except those who surrendered, were killed.

Sun Kaiwu, the captain of the Habayashi Guards School, walked to the bottom of the steps, put his weapon on the ground, and knelt down on one knee.

"I came late to save you, please punish me," Sun Kaiwu knew. If Li Shimin dies, all the generals of Yulin Guard will be buried with him. It's already a mercy if it doesn't hurt your family.

"Get up. It is not expected that the Ashina Association will lead a rebellion. You are not guilty. Arrange people to guard the palace gate. Deploy the Thousand Cavalry Battalion to garrison. Press down all the rebels. King Ji has promised not to kill those who surrender. Wait. Come on down." Li Shimin ordered

It's already midnight. Although everyone did not participate in the battle, their spirits were always tense. After relaxing, I felt tired. Li Shimin is 40 years old after all. His physical strength is not as good as before. So Wang De advised Li Shimin to rest. Let’s talk about it tomorrow.

Ashina Association and other rebel leaders were taken down and severely tortured. See if anyone else is involved behind the scenes.

"Ren Gui, you have to work hard today. Except for the injured, everyone is guarding the door of Aye's palace. I will have someone bring some food later." Li Shen was worried that there were still others.

Li Shimin glanced at Li Shen. There are no absolutes. Turned around and walked into the bedroom. This shows trust in Li Shen. He also understood Li Shen's filial piety towards him. With Xue Rengui at the door, Li Shimin could sleep more peacefully. Li Shen also took people back to his yard to rest.

After a night of torture the next day, Li Shimin got a satisfactory answer. This rebellion was carried out by only one person from the Ashina Society. No one else is involved. He Luohu was also coerced by the Ashina Association. It was because he felt that Li Shimin did not pay attention to him and he was not promoted for ten years. He had a grudge and planned to assassinate Li Shimin.

Li Shimin handled the matter very quickly. He did not get angry or cause any involvement. He just executed several principal criminals led by Ashina Association. He Luo'u, who was kidnapped, was exiled to the Lingnan area by him. The surrendered soldier Li Shen recommended ten years of hard labor. It was released after ten years. They are just low-level people who are manipulated by others. Li Shimin adopted Li Shen's suggestion.

Rewards can only be given after returning to the palace. After this incident, Li Shimin no longer wanted to play. So I started to pack my bags and prepare to return to Beijing.

Because I was no longer in the mood, I returned to Beijing two days earlier than when I came here. And the rebel courtiers already knew. Li Shimin needed to deal with it immediately. Li Shen went to Jingjing Pavilion to find Wang Hongfu.

Although the assassination was put down. But news still got out. Wang Hongfu also heard about this. Li Shen said directly to Wang Hongfu without talking nonsense: "Old Wang, there are a few things you need to do. The first is to reward Xue Rengui and the others two hundred customs, and Xue Rengui will add another hundred customs. Find someone to make a land deed for a hundred acres of fertile land for them. Send them to their families. Also, build them a house with one acre of land, which must be built with bricks and cement. I ask that the brick house must have a good foundation and don't be afraid of spending money. My life is more valuable than the house. It must be built with reinforced concrete. Good logs. I will have the drawings sent to you. Their salaries will be tripled in the future. All workshops will select people whose families will be given priority. Remember this?" The guard on the side heard Li Shen If so, everyone is extremely excited. After that, their family became really wealthy. There is no problem eating meat every time. Some guards even felt that it would be better if they died in battle. Children and grandchildren will not have to worry for generations. Of course just think about it.

"It's the prince, I'll do it right away," Wang Hongfu agreed quickly. He knew that this group of people had made great achievements this time. Not only did he save Li Shen, I heard he also saved the emperor. There will be rewards from the emperor in the future.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

"Thank you Lord"

The guards bowed and thanked Li Shen one by one.

"Get up. You all deserve this. My life is more important than money. Rengui. The current guard strength is still not enough. You need to recruit more in Zhuangzi. You also need to recruit veterans who have retired. In this way, Lao Wang, please find someone to go to the surrounding counties and Zhuangzi to ask if there are any retired veterans who are willing to come to our Zhuangzi. After I leave the palace, the number of guards in the palace should be 3000 according to the ritual system. But this is Chang'an and it should not be There will be so many. But if there are too few people and the palace is too big, the patrols cannot be too small. I estimate that there should be at least 500 people in the palace. Patrols in three shifts. Anyway, you can recruit more people. The more people will be arranged to train in the village outside the city. But never exceed 3000 people." Li Shen was about to leave the palace. Security issues must be addressed. Although this is the capital of Chang'an, we still have to guard against some scoundrels. At least we should guard against petty theft. There is a large treasury in his palace.

"Okay, Your Majesty. I will go as soon as possible to finish the matter. One more thing, the road from Huangzhuang to Chang'an has been completed. Those who built the road are people from nearby Zhuangzi. They asked if they could also be in our workshop Work. They are really having a hard time." Wang Hongfu reported back

"Well, yes, our workshop will give priority to people from Huangzhuang. But you go and tell the people in Zhuangzi. If anyone is willing to do some business on their own, we support it. If you don't have money, we can lend them. Pay back. A night school was set up to teach them literacy and arithmetic. If they learned a thousand words, their wages would be doubled. Those who could learn arithmetic would be promoted to accountants and shopkeepers. Those who didn't want to know how to read wouldn't be forced to do so, but their wages would remain the same." Li Shen added. Account for Wang Hongfu

"Also, don't let outsiders do the important things like drinking wine and soap. We have adopted an assembly line approach. We tell them that they are not allowed to enter the important parts. Anyone who enters will be directly expelled regardless of whether they intentionally or unintentionally. People in their village will be kicked out even if they sit down. "Li Shen has already broken down all the processes. Divided into different workshops. The important links are all done by yourself. There is no patent protection these days.
