In the aftermath of October, Hangzhou City was filled with an atmosphere of solemnity and killing.

Zhao Huan, the former emperor who attempted to restore his reign, was imprisoned in the deep palace, locked behind high walls, never to be seen by the outside world for the rest of his life.

Zhao Ji, who failed to please either side in this event, couldn't dissuade his eldest son and ended up being the instigator. When Cao Gou arrived, he felt too ashamed to face him and hanged himself in his bedroom.

The other officials involved in the plot, including Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan, were all beheaded.

One of the main culprits, Zhang Jun, was publicly executed by hanging, his followers were demoted to commoners, their properties confiscated, and they were forever banned from official positions.

...

As for Lv Yihao, who was originally a trusted confidant left behind by Cao Gou, he fell into a trap due to his excessive indulgence in alcohol and women.

However, fortunately, he understood the need to lay low at a critical moment and discreetly arranged reliable individuals within the imperial camp, waiting for an opportunity to act.

The fact that Cao Gou and Li Gang's troops were able to silently infiltrate the city and quell the unrest was all thanks to this reason.

Afterwards, Cao Gou said that Lord Lv had both merits and demerits in this incident, but considering his years of hard work, he rewarded him with ten beautiful women as a sign of favor.

Lv Yihao, trembling with fear, kowtowed and said, "I will never indulge in debauchery again. I have even given up this vice!"
