Gu Yan and his companions have not returned to the court. According to their words, they intend to guard the borders of the Great Tang, allowing the whole of Kyushu to recuperate properly.
They all believe in Li Shimin.
They believe that one day, Li Shimin will lead them beyond the lands of Kyushu.
Li Shimin took a deep breath and earnestly nodded, "I, understand!"
.....
Though no posthumous title was given to Gu Yu, Li Shimin nevertheless granted him a very solemn funeral and buried him in Julu.
As the funeral concluded, the entire Great Tang finally returned to tranquility, and the relief efforts proceeded smoothly.
Even more smoothly than before.
Because Li Shimin took decisive action.
Regarding those ministers heavily relied upon by Li Yuan in the past, after thoroughly stabilizing the situation, Li Shimin finally chose not to tolerate them any longer.
He wanted to make it clear to everyone that he, Li Shimin, is indeed an emperor willing to accept counsel.
