Li Longji walked around the Xingqing Hall with his hands behind his back.

Yang Yuhuan looked scary and sat in a corner.

"I don't know what happened..." Li Longji thought to himself. At this moment, he heard a sound outside. Then, a guard was speaking from the outside of the hall: "Princess Shou'an is asking for a meeting."

"Let Shouan come in." Li Longji said after pondering for a moment.

Shouan appeared at the entrance of the hall wearing tight clothes, with bright eyebrows and short swords on his waist. Seeing her like this, Li Longji's face slightly darkened: "What are you messing around?"

"My daughter heard that chaos in the capital was coming, so she came to protect Aye." Shouan patted the hilt of the sword around her waist: "Don't worry, if you have a daughter here, you will definitely not let the thieves come here."

After hearing her words, Li Longji was both angry and funny: "If the thief rushed into Xingqing Palace, what's the use of you here... You are not afraid of a girl's house."

"I was not afraid of my father quelling the rebellion, and my daughter is not afraid of me now," said Shou An.

Li Longji was excited and his thoughts couldn't help but float away. Thinking of the incident that he had launched two coups. His memories of the past made him regain some of his youthful feelings. He smiled and said, "Get my sword."

A little eunuch brought the sword, Li Longji grabbed the sword, and his heart suddenly calmed down and he stopped wandering in Xingqing Hall. He moved the brocade bench to Yang Yuhuan and said with a smile: "Shou'an brings the sword to protect me, and I will carry the sword to protect my beloved concubine."

"Saint..." Yang Yuhuan smiled reluctantly and said, "I can only rely on the saint's protection."

Li Longji still saw the fear in her eyes, and reached out to pat her shoulder. He looked up at Shouan, who was really standing in front of the hall, and couldn't help but smile: "Shouan is quite similar to me back then, he was brave, wild, and he was not afraid of anything."

Speaking of this, he was a little sad: "There is a chaos in the capital, and I have dozens of children, and the only one who comes to guard the sword is Shou'an."

"Don't be upset by the saints. The other princes and noble girls are not like Shou'an. They have always been with the saints. They are not aware of the situation at this time. If they know, they will come to protect them." Yang Yuhuan said reluctantly.

Li Longji was talking about Shou'an, but in fact he also meant that Ye Chang was referring to Ye Chang. There were so many officials in the capital, but the one who could see the treacherous and slander in times of crisis was Ye Chang, a person who was gradually suspicious of him.

Yang Yuhuan also knew this, and she was very anxious. After hearing the news, she immediately sent someone to send a letter to Yang Zhao and asked Yang Zhao to come here to protect him quickly. However, when he heard the sound and looked at the cigarette, there was chaos outside, and I was afraid that Yang Zhao would not get any news for a while.

But even if I can't get the news, as an important official, when I see chaos in the capital, the first thing I should do is to come to find the emperor

Just as Yang Yuhuan was thinking about it, he heard Chen Xuanli's voice outside: "Sage, Chen Xilie, come to protect the saint on Yuan Road."

"Chen Xilie is here?" Li Longji was happy: "Okay, okay, let him summon all officials to discuss matters and Yuan Qing, and let him assist Chen Qing in acting."

Chen Xilie, who was standing outside, was trembling. He was the prime minister who had no sense of existence. When the king arranged for people to isolate China and abroad, he did not send anyone to stop him, so he was able to come here in time. He did not have much courage. It was better to come here to look for protection from Li Longji's guards than to be a guard. He heard Li Longji's voice in the hall, and then responded loudly to "After the order".

Yuan Highway secretly held back the laughter. He got Ye Chang's notification, so he could arrive so quickly. This is a great opportunity to flatter and loyalty. Those who came early and those who came late left a different impression in the emperor's heart.

After a while, ministers from all sides rushed over, and even Prince Li Heng and Prince Princes in the Ten Kings House Baisun Courtyard were heard from. This made Li Longji feel calm and no longer nervous. He smiled and said to Yang Yuhuan: "I think the rebels are incompetent, and I can't isolate me and the ministers, which proves that the rebels are insufficient and there are not many chaotic people. I think it won't take long to get good news."

He thought for a while and patted Yang Yuhuan's face again: "My beloved concubine, please wait here for me to meet the ministers.

Shouan followed him with a sword. Li Longji looked at the princes and grandchildren again. He was about to shake his head, but saw one of them following him with a sword.

Li Zhen, the Prince of Jianning.

This is the grandson of Li Longji, the son of Prince Li Heng, who has always been a heroic man. Seeing him like this, Li Longji smiled and nodded. Among his descendants, there are heroic man after all.

There was Shou'an and Li Zhen set an example, and the other older sons and grandsons wanted to follow him. Li Longji ordered them to stay. As long as Shou'an, Li Zhen and Yong Wang Li Xiang followed him. When he arrived outside the hall, he saw dozens of civil and military people standing in the yard in front of the hall. When the ministers saw him, they all shouted long live, and they were all happy.

"Are Yang Zhao here?" Li Longji asked after scanning the eyes of everyone.

"I am here, I am here"

The response was not among the ministers, but at the door. Then, he saw Yang Zhao holding a sword in one hand and twisting the corner of his official robe with the other hand, and hurriedly running over. The ministers were originally looking at him with some gloating pleasure. After all, as a confidant of the saint, he came so late. But when everyone found out that there were blood on his body and blood marks on the sword in his hand, his expression changed.

Li Longji also noticed this: "What's going on?"

"The traitor surrounded my house. After killing and breaking the siege, I rushed to protect the saint, so I have not cleaned up. I also asked the saint to forgive me." Yang Zhao looked up and down at Li Longji. Seeing that Li Longji was safe, he breathed a sigh of relief, turned over and knelt down, almost crying, "I am late, which has scared the saint, and I am guilty."

"What do you have to do with you? You are a civil servant. It is amazing to be able to kill traitors." Li Longji comforted his heart and said with a harmonious voice.

After hearing this, the ministers were all secretly annoyed. Why didn't they think of this trick? When they came, they should have some blood stains on their bodies and then kill a few chickens and dogs. Only in this way can they have double effect when they run to show their loyalty.

"I have asked that the rebel thief is the king. I asked the saint to issue an order. Xu Chen and General Chen Xuanli, Longwu, led the guards to capture the king." Yang Zhao said again.

"No need, I think the king has been captured now." Li Longji said.

Chen Xuanli sighed silently. Although Yang Zhao was smart, he was still a little far from winning Li Longji when it comes to complimenting Li Longji.

He took the Longwu Army guards to capture the king, which seemed very loyal, but does this mean that the defense power of Xingqing Palace was reduced? Ye Chang said he would go to capture the king, but he only brought his own personal guards. Li Longji asked Chen Xuanli to assign troops to him, but he refused.

"It turns out that Your Majesty has made arrangements for thousands of miles." Yang Zhao lowered his eyes, concealed the surprise on his face, and exclaimed: "The king rebels and treacherous and rebelled against the heavens, which is to destroy himself."

"King, king..." Li Longji sighed.

Until today, Li Longji had always believed that the king should be one of the court officials who were both loyal and capable, otherwise he would not have been given such an important position.

He also knew that Wang and Yang Zhao were almost incompatible, and they turned against Ye Chang. To a certain extent, he indulged in or even promoted the deterioration of the relationship between these three important officials, but he did not expect that Wang would use this method to respond to his power schemes.

"I wonder who the saint sent to capture the king?"

Yang Zhao's eyes glanced among the crowd. He did not meet the envoy sent by Yang Yuhuan, so he was not clear about some situations. He just saw that Ye Chang was not in the crowd, so he asked carefully.

"Ye Chang." Li Longji answered slowly.

There are many generals in the court, and there are also several who have experience in the border areas, but Ye Chang responded immediately.

Yang Zhao almost paused when he heard this name. He suddenly remembered that at Chunming Gate, Ye Chang had a dispute with Wang. Ye Chang was in a rebellious attack on Wang, and he agreed temporarily. He thought that this was just Ye Chang's act of being confused. Now it seems that such a move is not a foresight?

While thinking about it, I heard the guards outside report: "General Gao and Ye Zhongcheng captured the king, and they have arrived before Xingqing Palace."

When Li Longji heard that the king was captured, he felt that the last trace of worry was gone. He smiled and looked at the ministers: "How about it, I will say it, it won't take long."

After saying that, he was a little curious: "How come Ye Qing and Gao Lishi are together... Chen Xilie, Yang Zhao, and... Yuan Highway, you three go out to greet me."

When the ministers heard this, their eyes immediately focused on Yuan Highway, and the jealousy in their eyes could almost turn into a knife.

Those who can represent Li Longji to greet him at this time are undoubtedly all important officials Li Longji relied on. Chen Xilie is the prime minister, Yang Zhao is the Minister of Revenue, and will soon be the prime minister. Yuan Highway is just a casual official of the Censor General of the Censor.

Thinking that the Censor-General Wang was bound to be finished, it was almost certain that Yuan Highway would take over this position.

The three of them left Xingqing Palace under the attention of the ministers. Until outside the palace, they saw Gao Lishi and Ye Chang coming side by side. The two chatted and laughed and were very intimate. Seeing this, Yang Zhao's heart moved and he cursed a few more times.

After the king is over, Chen Xilie no longer has the help of fighting with him, and he is too close to Wang, so it is hard to say whether he can escape this time. Then, the only enemy in front of Yang Zhao is Ye Chang. Therefore, Yang Zhao is very worried that Ye Chang and Gao Lishi will be colluded with each other. After all, although Gao Lishi does not show his strength, he is a role that Li Linfu could not deal with back then.

"Your Majesty Gao, Mr. Ye, thank you two, thank you two, thank you two, the saint ordered me to come out to greet you."

Yang Zhao was thinking about how Gao Lishi got together with Ye Chang. Chen Xilie had already greeted him with a smile on his face, with a very intimate expression, and his words of praise were one after another, as if he was not saliva.

Everyone knows what he means. With the end of the king, Chen Xilie's position is in danger again. In this situation, he must seize every opportunity and save himself as much as possible.

Ye Chang and Gao Lishi looked at each other, and both of them laughed.

"How dare you get tired of Chen Gong?" Gao Lishi said: "The traitor king of rebels for all ages is here."

Chen Xilie didn't even look at Wang, who looked gray. At this time, the distance between him and Wang should be kept as far as he could. He spoke again of flattery until Yang Zhao couldn't hear it and urged: "The saint is still waiting. What does Mr. Chen have to say? Let's talk about it after today's business."

Chen Xilie smiled embarrassedly, but he was thick-skinned and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I almost forgot about this serious matter. Fortunately, Mr. Yang... Oh, it's not enough to be old. In the future, Mr. Yang will be more responsible for government affairs so that I can have a sneak breaker."

As soon as he said this, Yang Zhao knew the meaning of elegance when he heard the string song, and immediately understood what he meant.

Chen Xilie gave up, and he wanted to be a prime minister who had no sense of existence as Li Linfu was in power, just asking Yang Zhao not to deal with him.

Yang Zhao's thoughts changed rapidly. If this was true, it would be great. The court could not allow a person to be alone to last for too long. After Chen Xilie was given a chance, another person would come up. The newly changed person may not be as honest as Chen Xilie.

"Hahahahahahaha..."

Wang, who was watching this scene coldly, suddenly burst into laughter.

"Clog his mouth and don't let him talk nonsense. If dirty words disturb the saints, no one can afford it." Chen Xilie laughed when he heard the king, frowned, and ordered the guards in the palace.

He posed the banner of Li Longji, and no one dared to be neglected. The king did not struggle, but just sneered and stared at him with a cold look. Even though Chen Xilie was thick-skinned and dark-hearted, he still stared at him with a cold face.

He led Ye Chang, Gao Lishi and everyone into the gate of Xingqing Palace.

"Please first, two of you." When we arrived in front of Xingqing Hall, Chen Xilie gave in to the side. He gave in. Yang Zhao had no choice but to make way out. Yuan Highway followed Ye Chang.

"This..." Ye Chang hesitated a little and asked the Prime Minister and the Secretary of State to give way to him. It seemed glorious, but it was a bit too ostentatious.

"Mr. Ye is in charge of his own affairs. Today's first achievement in suppressing rebellion. If there is no such glory, how can we show the wisdom of the saint emperor today?" Gao Lishi pulled Ye Chang and said.

He also gave Ye Chang half of his shoulder. This was not only humility, but also expressed his gratitude to Ye Chang.

When Yang Zhao saw this admiration, his eyebrows frowned again, then quickly spread out to change to a smile.

How did these two get together?

But he didn't know that after Ye Chang left Xingqing Palace, he immediately sent someone to Gao Lishi's mansion to inform Gao Lishi to join him. Ye Chang knew very well that he had no practical benefit to capture the credit for Wang's rebellion alone, except to attract jealousy to himself. It would be better to use this credit in exchange for some actual support.

For example, Gloris' support.

Although Gao Lishi was the eunuch whom Li Longji favored the most, he had his own mansion outside the palace. Ye Chang did not see him in Xingqing Palace, so he knew that he would definitely go back to the mansion today. Failing to quell the rebellion would be a heavy blow to Gao Lishi's position in Li Longji's heart, which was something that Gao Lishi could not tolerate. If he divided the credit for quelling the rebellion by half, he would get some support from this powerful official, which not only repaired the relationship between the two sides because of Li Linfu, but also reached a tacit understanding.

To deal with Yang Zhao, this Gao Lishi can still be of great use.
