The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

He thought his plan would succeed, but he never expected that Jiang Fan not only figured out his plan, but also broke it with his powerful strength. He! He was convinced of his defeat!

"Your Highness Prince Qin, I would like to ask you for a favor?" Prince Ling looked at Jiang Fan and said in a low voice.

Jiang Fan heard this and shook his head, "I can't help you...! Since you have made the choice, you should know..."

He knew that Prince Ling wanted to plead for his family, but Jiang Fan would never leave his enemy behind.

He may not kill some people in Prince Ling's Mansion, but he cannot keep the direct descendants of Prince Ling's Mansion.

Upon hearing this, Prince Ling sighed, smiled sadly, and suddenly raised the knife to cut his own neck.

The guards around him did not stop him, but after Prince Ling committed suicide, they all took up their knives and killed themselves. They were also loyal.

Looking at Prince Ling who died with his eyes open, Jiang Fan sighed, and Li Changle showed a complicated expression.

Jiang Fan waved his hand and ordered people to clear the battlefield. The battle tonight was over. Prince Ling, Situ Yun and his son were all killed. Even their accomplices in the army were eliminated.

Without Situ Yun and his son and Prince Ling, no one else could cause any trouble.

In the following time, the entire court was cleared out, and all the people in Prince Ling's Mansion, including everyone in the Situ family, were arrested, and all males over the age of twelve were beheaded.

The woman and the remaining children were sentenced to exile!

The Dashi court was stabilized at this point, and among the 300,000 troops, more than 10,000 of the 100,000 imperial guards died, and 20,000 of the 200,000 Zhenxi troops died.

The rest were broken up by Jiang Fan and reorganized. Jiang Fan sent generals from the White Robe Army to lead these troops.

All the middle and high-level generals were replaced, and the most loyal troops to Situ Yun and his son and Prince Ling were almost all killed in the coup.

Jiang Fan did not have to worry about any problems with the Dashi Army. Even if there were any, with the 140,000-strong army to deter them, there would not be any trouble.

Jiang Fan originally wanted to disband the army directly and let his 100,000 provincial troops guard the Daxi Dynasty. However, there are signs of invasion by the northern barbarians of the Daxi Dynasty, and Liao and Xia have occupied nearly half of the northwestern land of the Daxi Dynasty.

If Dashi didn't have an army, how could it fight against these enemies?

After reorganizing the 270,000-strong Dashi Army, he sent 100,000 of them to garrison the northern barbarian land.

The leading commanders heading to the Northern Barbarian Land are Niu Wu and Zhou Zheng. They were the first talents selected by Jiang Fan, and now they are finally put to use.

The generals of this army were almost all selected from the White Robe Army.

In addition, Jiang Fan ordered the Chu brothers to lead the remaining 170,000 people to the northwest to fight against the Liaoxia army.

At the same time, he also sent 30,000 Zhoufu troops and 20,000 Huaining troops to assist, while he himself stayed in Shangjing of the Dashi Dynasty to help Li Changle secure the throne of empress.

The current Shangjing City is guarded by 90,000 Great Yan troops, while the Great Western Army has no one left. The people and dignitaries of the entire Great Western Dynasty are somewhat panic-stricken.

Although the person sitting on the throne now is the seventh princess of the Daxi royal family, everyone knows that the Daxi Dynasty will probably have the surname Jiang.

The people's panic is due to their confusion and fear about policies. They are worried that a vampire-like court will emerge and make them live in dire straits.

The oppression of the people by the Great Western Dynasty was increasing day by day, especially after this war, the national strength of the entire Great Western Dynasty was greatly reduced. The people even had trouble getting food.

The dignitaries were worried that Jiang Fan would kill them and rob their property one day because he was a Dayan man and didn't care about etiquette.

The depressing atmosphere among the people also spread to the palace, and the atmosphere in the entire palace was somewhat depressing. Since Prince Ling's rebellion, nearly half of the eunuchs and maids in the entire palace had died, and the imperial concubines and princes were almost all dead.

In addition to the white-robed soldiers guarding the palace, there were less than a thousand eunuchs and palace maids.

However, Li Changle had no intention of expanding the number of palace servants, and even planned to cut some staff. After all, it would be useless if the staff was too bloated.

Jiang Fan could actually be a hands-off boss. He only needed to support Li Changle to become the empress. However, given Li Changle's background, if he left it alone, in a few years, the Daxi Dynasty would be out of his control, and even Li Changle might not be able to continue to be the empress.

At present, it is unlikely that Dayan will swallow up the Great Western Dynasty in one go, and it can only be annexed slowly and imperceptibly. This will take a long time.

Therefore, the empress Li Changle is of vital importance. She must be in power. Moreover, she must not only be in power, but also be loved by the people.

In this way, even if Dayan annexed Dayi, as long as the empress spoke, the people of Dayi would not have any resistance.

In this way, there will be no bloodshed. A peaceful transition.

In Qingyuan Palace, Jiang Fan and Li Changle sat opposite each other, while Zhong Ling and several white-robed guards were guarding outside, and no one knew where Xu Yexing had gone.

Ever since that night, Xu Yexing seemed to have disappeared again. Jiang Fan wanted to have a good talk with her, but this woman didn't even give Jiang Fan a chance to speak.

Jiang Fan has been very busy reorganizing the Daxi Court recently and has no time to find Xu Yexing. For the time being, he can only give up talking to Xu Yexing.

"Your Highness, today in the court, several ministers gave Sister Changle a lot of difficult problems. One of them is the tax reduction. I'm afraid it will be difficult for Sister Changle. The treasury is empty now. If we can't even pay the officials' salaries, I'm afraid there will be chaos!"

In Qingyuan Palace, Jiang Fan and Zhong Ling stood in front of the palace gate, the two stood side by side. Zhong Ling looked at Jiang Fan and said worriedly.

Since Jiang Fan wants to control the Daxi Dynasty, of course he has to keep it stable. But the Daxi Dynasty is now in turmoil. After the war that destroyed the country, the treasury has long been empty.

Moreover, the people are probably not having an easy time. The heavy taxes this year have pushed many people to the brink of life and death, and a peasant uprising may break out at any time.

In addition, the officials' salaries could not be paid. Even if Jiang Fan had powerful military force to suppress the rebellion, he would not be able to prevent the collapse of a country.

Once the Great Western Dynasty collapsed, it would be difficult for Dayan to control the Great Western Dynasty without bloodshed! Who knows, it might even allow the Great Western Dynasty to rise again as a regime.

Li Changle was also very worried about this matter, and the decree she issued was to trade with Dayan and explore various minerals.

It is almost autumn now. There is no work for farmers at this time of year. If winter comes, farmers will have no food to survive the winter and who knows how many people will die.

Jiang Fan actually agreed with the decree issued by Li Changle. Exchanging minerals for food with Dayan could guarantee the basic living of the people.

However, mineral resources are not available in every place, and the number of people they can feed is limited. It is simply impossible to solve the problem in a short period of time.

However, the fact that Li Changle has such vision shows that she does have some talent.
