Li Shimin announced that he would be emperor in Chang'an, enfeoffed all ministers, and appointed great scholar Wang Tong as the Grand Tutor, carried out imperial examinations, opened up poor families to recruit scholars, regardless of civil and military affairs, and benefited the world. At that time, the aristocratic families became even more jealous and refused to interact with him. Even though he obtained the treasure of Yang Gong and the Heshi Bi, there were still many forces that opposed him.

In the east, Kou Zhongji was announced to establish the State of Xu by Peng Lianghui, Li Zitong and most of the territory of Wagang Village. He called himself Kou Gong and Xu Ziling as Xu Gong. Cihang Jingzhai and the four great monks, as well as Dugu Fang, Wang Bo, Lu Miaozi and others, and the news was huge and the world was shocked. Many celebrities even publicly applauded.

The Yingui Sect on the other side was not willing to be outdone and helped Lin Shihong establish the Chu State in Yuzhang. People in the Demon Sect appeared in front of people on the openly, which caused quite a stir.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Xian claimed to inherit the aspirations of his ancestor Xiao Yan, revived the Liang Kingdom, and established the capital of Baling. The rest of the Wang Shichong founded the country, namely Zheng, Li Yuan's Tang, Dou Jiande's Xia, Yu Wenxu, Xue Ju's Qin, Li Gui's Liang, Gao Kaidao's Yan, there were also the host general Du Fuwei, Song Gongfu Gongyu, Jiangnan Dao's Shen Faxing, Youzhou's general Luo Yi, Dingyang Khan Liu Wuzhou, Pijia Khan Liang Shidu, etc., as well as the Song clan forces far away in Lingnan, the Central Plains was filled with more than a dozen emperors and kings, and the war was about to begin.

...

Wang Tong stood beside Shen Yuanjing, looked at the bustling young people under his feet and said, "The imperial examination is definitely a good thing that benefits the country and the people. But I cannot give these young people hope and disappoint them. You deceive them through me and you have to hold on yourself. Even if it only lasts for ten years, I am sure to revive the concept of saints that have no distinction."

Shen Yuanjing said: "Ten years have been enough for the whole world to unify. At that time, you have time to slowly implement the plan. Now let poor scholars come in first, wait for the stability later, and then run county schools, county schools and Imperial schools to achieve the goal of "I have never been able to teach you if you practice yourself." If this idea is spread, when the country is strong, perhaps everyone has books to read."

Wang Tong showed his fascination on his face and sighed: "If there was such a time, it would be a prosperous era that had never been seen in eternity. I can't see you, but I can add a brick to it now."

"Trial Master, Taifu, the north side urgently report, Your Majesty invites two adults to come over." An imperial guard general rushed over eagerly and half-kneeled on the ground to report the report.

Shen Yuanjing and Wang Tong looked at each other, their faces were a little solemn, and they walked towards the main hall. Soon after, they arrived at Xuanzheng Hall and saw Li Jing, Changsun Wuji, Qu Tutong and other important officials of the court were all here.

Seeing the two, Li Shimin and others came to salute first. Wang Tong avoided the ceremony. After he finished ceremonial ceremony, he performed the ceremony of the king and the minister. He sat in the first position on the right, and the first in the left head was naturally Shen Yuanjing.

Li Shimin sighed and said, "There is an accident in the State of Tang. Father, he, I don't know where to start for a while. Zhiyun, come in and tell the story of the matter to the Grand Master and all the adults."

Li Zhiyun walked in from behind, knelt in front of Shen Yuanjing, kowtowed respectfully, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Chen for saving his life." Then he got up and began to tell everyone, "Li Jiancheng, who colluded with outsiders to imprison his father and threatened him to pass the throne. I am afraid that a grand ceremony will be held soon."

"What, is this true?" Changsun Wuji hesitated and said, "Even if Li Jiancheng is arrogant, he doesn't have such courage, right? Besides, Li Tang is his sooner or later, why is this for?"

Li Zhiyun said: "He did not have this idea at first, but he made a big mistake and was encouraged by Li Yuanji to collude with an inexplicable force, so he dared to be so unscrupulous."

Changsun Wuji asked, "What is the big deal? If you want to cause such a situation, don't hide it. Come on?"

"This?" Li Zhiyun looked at Li Shimin, closed his eyes and nodded in pain, and then said softly: "Li Jiancheng had an affair with his father's concubine, but was discovered by Pei Ji, the father's confidant. He wanted to report it, so he started to act first, colluding with Yan Li, the commander of the Imperial Guards, and Wang Junkuo and other villains suddenly attacked and imprisoned his father."

Li Shimin opened his eyes and asked in a slightly hoarse voice: "Where are Li Shentong and Li Nantian? With them here, Li Jiancheng will not be able to do anything to his father."

Li Zhiyun said angrily: "It is because of Li Nantian's rebellion that the palace is so easy to fall. The father is in their hands, and his magical uncle is also afraid to take action. However, because of his presence, Li Jiancheng and others dare not blame their father too much. Second brother, please send troops quickly. While the father has not been forced to abdicate by them, it is still too late, otherwise it will be too late to regret it."

Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling and others opened their mouths, which was difficult to persuade him. Li Shimin bit his teeth and was about to speak, but Shen Yuanjing suddenly said, "Let's wait, something is wrong. Li Tang and Shi Zhixuan, Tuli is an alliance. Which force has such ability to secretly penetrate into it and is not afraid of backlash? Also, which concubine did Li Jiancheng have an affair with?"

Li Zhiyun was stunned and blurted out: "It's Concubine Yin De."

Shen Yuanjing asked, "Concubine Yin De? Is her father Yin Zuwen?"

Li Shimin replied: "That's right. Have you ever seen anything wrong with it?"

"This is a complete conspiracy." Shen Yuanjing sneered: "Yin Zuwen is a master of the Demon Sect's Death Death. His martial arts are not inferior to Zuo Youxian, An Long and others. Even Pei Ji has no clear identity, but no one knows his origin."

"It's the Demon Sect again, it's all over the place." Li Shimin slapped the table heavily, stood up, paced back and forth. Rescue, maybe getting into the trap; if he didn't save, he lost his morality, which was of great importance. He didn't know how to deal with it for a while, so he walked to Shen Yuanjing, bowed and said, "Sir, please help me!"

Shen Yuanjing said, "It is definitely necessary to save it, there is no doubt." Li Zhiyun's face showed joy, and he continued, "But we must first figure out the twists and turns. Li Jiancheng's side has already been done, so don't worry. The most urgent thing is to figure out what Shi Zhixuan's attitude is here. Otherwise, if we capture Jinyang, we will have to have more opponents, Li Gui, Liang Shidu, Liu Wuzhou and Dou Jiande, and maybe we will have to border Kou Zhong.

Let’s not talk about the next two for the time being. Behind Li Gui are Tuyuhun and Western Turks, behind Liang Shidu and Liu Wuzhou are Jie Li and Zhao Deyan. If Tuli and Shi Zhixuan are added, they will really become the target of public criticism."

Li Shimin also calmed down and immediately said, "I understand. This time, I will send troops personally, and I will also ask the gentleman to accompany me to protect you. In Chang'an City, please ask the queen to come to the court to listen to the affairs. Li Jing, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are the assistants. Wuji, you and General Qu accompany me this trip."

This time, the dispatch of troops is both a state and a family matter. It is difficult for everyone to interfere. Besides, with Shen Yuanjing following, everyone feels a little relieved.

Not to mention how Li Shimin prepared, Shen Yuanjing only summoned Shi Qingxuan, Shang Xiufang, Song Yuzhi and Dugu Feng to set off together.
