Chen Xuanli openly urged Li Longji, the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty, to take the throne, and counted the gains and losses of Li Longji's administration. Especially after the An Lushan rebellion, half of the country was eroded, and there was nothing to be done, and the implication was that Li Longji needed to be responsible for the current situation that was in danger of frivolity.

And this is also the first time since An Lushan's rebellion that someone has openly proposed that Li Longji should abdicate his position to assume his responsibility.

It's no wonder that Li Longji was angry, if these arguments were put forward by the crown prince or Qin Jin, he would not find it difficult to accept, but the first one to put forward was Chen Xuanli, whom he had relied on and trusted for more than 40 years. This not only slapped him hard and made him lose face, but also made him feel that he was in a crisis and could not extricate himself.

Although you are the Son of Heaven, Li Longji is also a human being, and when he encounters major setbacks, he will also have a lack of self-confidence. At the beginning of An Lushan's rebellion, he could still barely support the situation and shock people's hearts. Now, Chen Xuanli gave him the most fatal blow, which made him confused, and he couldn't even hide the anger and fear in his heart.

Gao Xianzhi calmly waited for the Son of Heaven to vent, he even felt a little pity for the old Son of Heaven, and now the Son of Heaven was more like an ordinary old man, who would be sad, angry, and desperate.

Maybe this is a flesh-and-blood son of heaven, but he is by no means a qualified son of heaven.

A qualified son of heaven cannot have ordinary human feelings, and he is decisive in killing, regardless of intimacy.

Gao Xianzhi secretly sighed, the Son of Heaven is indeed old, and this situation would never have appeared a year ago.

About half an hour later, Li Longji finally stopped his seizures, and his whole body was like a broken rag wilting on the couch, without saying a word.

"The saint is angry!"

Li Longji's reaction was much slower, and Gao Xianzhi's voice fell for a long time before he asked in a low voice, "Calm your anger?" Now that I'm angry, is there any other way to solve my problems?"

Chen Xuanli's public statement is equivalent to the most combative forbidden army in Chang'an on the side of the prince, even if Li Longji is the son of heaven, he has no military power, and he is no different from duckweed on the water.

Gao Xianzhi said: "Of course, there is a way, but I don't know if the saint is willing to break the wrist of a strong man!"

"Speak!"

At such a life-and-death moment, not to mention breaking a wrist, it is a broken leg, and a broken foot is also willing.

Gao Xianzhi hesitated for a moment before he said in Li Longji's rather eager gaze:

"On the side of the prince Qingjun, there are two reasons, one is that the eunuch is in charge, and the chaos is beyond the outline. The second is that Yang Guo is loyal to the country and frames Zhongliang. ”

Before Gao Xianzhi could finish speaking, Li Longji refuted loudly:

"What nonsense is there to add to the crime, I will not bow to them!"

Gao Xianzhi's heart sank, and he knew that the Son of Heaven would not agree to this condition, but why were the generals of the forbidden army willing to follow the crown prince and Qin Jin and take risks? Or did Yang Guozhong and Cheng Yuanzhen use the Son of Heaven to come up with a "crushing victory and shooting puppets" and unscrupulously attack dissidents.

However, any case involving rebellion usually brings disaster to the family, and the road in front of them is to die if they oppose it, or die if they do not oppose it, so why not fight hard, maybe they can turn things around? If it is just an ordinary captain brigade rate involved, it will be enough, even the crown prince is in danger, and Qin Jin is also deeply involved......

Gao Xianzhi has been closed for several days, but he has also been made a lot of noise, for fear that the gang will make trouble on his head.

Once the situation gets out of control, it's no wonder if there is no big mess!

But just when Gao Xianzhi was disappointed, Li Longji's voice softened again.

"The eunuchs are really not talking, and it is reasonable to rectify and rectify, Cheng Yuanzhen and Bian Lingcheng will be sent down and handed over to the department for investigation. Speaking of this, Li Longji paused, and said with embarrassment: "It's just Yang Guozhong, I can't hurt the concubine's heart!"

The concubine is Li Longji's heart, and this woman's smile and cheek seem to affect his mind, followed by happiness and pain.

Gao Xianzhi really wanted to question Li Longji face to face, did he not even want Jiangshan Sheji for the sake of a woman?

Where is the current Son of Heaven still having the shadow of the beginning? It is clear that he is an indecisive and uncontrollable dumb king.

With such a son of heaven, does Datang still have hope for ZTE and regain its national prestige?

Fortunately, Li Longji did not get home confused, and after being embarrassed for a while, he changed his words again.

"The capital crime may be avoided, and it is not impossible to go to prison first!"

Li Longji's mind also turned thousands of thoughts in this moment, first of all, he brought in Bian Lingcheng, who had nothing to do with the case of "Winning the Shooting Couple", in order to stabilize Gao Xianzhi's mind and have the intention of wooing. Bian Lingcheng and Gao Xianzhi are on the same page, and they want to put him to death, which both of them know well, and now only Gao Xianzhi can be escorted, and they can only use Bian Lingcheng's head in exchange for Gao Xianzhi's peace of mind.

Of course, this point is still just empty words, Bian Lingcheng is currently supervising the army in Tongguan, how the future situation will develop is still between the two, now all the promises can be thrown out, whether they can be fulfilled one by one in the future, that is a later story.

The two of them soon negotiated a charter.

Li Longji issued an edict, "Cheng Yuanzhen caused chaos to the government and the opposition with a fraudulent case, and his crime should be punished, and he can be immediately beheaded, and the whole clan will be exiled to Lingnan." Yang Guozhong was stripped of all official positions and sent to prison pending trial. ”

Anyway, at the critical moment, one of these two people fell into the hands of the prince, and the other fled without a trace.

Li Longji's edict, in terms of the current situation, did not harm him at all, but created a problem for the crown prince.

Now that the Son of Heaven has officially issued an edict to deal with Cheng Yuanzhen and Yang Guozhong, then the prince will dispose of Yang Guozhong at will, which is to abuse his private deeds, and even be suspected of taking revenge with his own interests. Moreover, as soon as this edict was issued, he went to the side of the prince and others to clear the truth, and then moved back to a city in righteousness.

However, it is not enough to have righteousness. Because righteousness also needs strength to support.

Li Longji made all the concessions that he should have done. Next, it depends on Gao Xianzhi's methods.

"Please take Yu Linwei by yourself to protect Nan Nei Quan!"

Of course, Li Longji agreed, but the current Yulinwei is in a miasma, and it is still between the two sides to protect the Son of Heaven at a critical moment.

After all, during the period when Cheng Yuanzhen was also the leader of Yu Linwei, the toss was turned upside down, and more than half of the captains were suppressed, and even personally attacked.

Of course, this came from Li Longji's connivance, and when he suspected that someone was intending to assassinate him, he first focused on Yu Linwei, because Yu Linwei was in charge of the imperial city and the palace guards, and if the assassin wanted to sneak in, without Yu Linwei's assistance, it would be absolutely impossible.

In addition, there is also the bewitchment of demons and gossipes, and Li Longji is even more suspicious, so he repeats his old tricks, and is determined to carry out a purge in Yulinwei and even the entire Beiya, and even the government and the opposition, to clean out those suspicious-looking characters, so that the throne under the ass can sit steadily.

But what I never imagined was that the entrusted non-person actually let Yang Guozhong and Cheng Yuanzhen, two idiots, mess up.

Li Longji even misses Li Linfu a little now, if this person is still alive, how can it be the turn of a glamorous and jumping clown?

But after all, the past is gone, and the only thing Li Longji can rely on now is Gao Xianzhi, who was bound to kill him before.

After Gao Xianzhi was ordered to leave the palace, Li Longji began to write the edict, but he was always dissatisfied with the smearing. After thinking hard for a while and hesitating for a while, the imperial pen in his hand finally fell heavily.

……

Although Gao Xianzhi was mentally prepared enough, he didn't expect Yu Linwei to become the virtue in front of him.

Located in the north of Daozhengfang and south of Xingqing Palace, the Yulin Guard Station, as far as you can see, is either that there are no generals or no soldiers to bring. It is said that Cheng Yuanzhen is incompetent, but in just ten days of hard work that he has led Yu Linwei, he can toss a forbidden army to the brink, and this ability is also unique in ten thousand.

However, in Gao Xianzhi's opinion, this is not a problem at all, as long as there are soldiers and generals, no matter what virtue is messed up, he can re-twist these people into a rope in the shortest possible time.

Hesitating and pressing time, there was no time to count the number of people, so he could only temporarily redistribute the captain brigade rate according to the old system, gather a team of thousands of people, and assign them to Xingqing Palace to guard the gates. The rest of the unusable ones were dismissed on the spot, and then the station was burned to the ground.

It is still very necessary for Gao Xianzhi to do this, otherwise once he is appeased by the prince's people, wouldn't he be an enemy in disguise?

The fire burst into flames in an instant, staining half of the night sky of Chang'an City red.

Even in Xingqing Palace, as long as you look up, you can see the blazing fire in the south.

Li Longji handed over the edict to the eunuchs, and just walked a few steps under the corridor, he heard the palace people exclaiming, then looked up, and was stunned to find that the fire in the south had started, and he was worried, and he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse. In case Gao Xianzhi couldn't subdue Yu Linwei and made a mess, he would have no hope at all.

But soon, when Gao Xianzhi's sturdy figure appeared in front of him under the light of a fire, Li Longji could even feel that his eyes were blurry.

After receiving the report, Li Longji nodded with great satisfaction.

"Gao Qing handled it decisively and properly, and I am very relieved!"

Li Longji took a closer look at the important minister in front of him, his hair was already a little gray because of his gray hair, and his waist didn't seem to be as straight as in the previous two years, but he was still the Gao Jieshuai who was decisive in killing, and he did not lose his fighting spirit because of the defeat in the Shaanzhou war.

"The prince may be coming, go, follow me to the north gate!"

The north gate of Xingqing Palace is the main passage for ministers to enter the south, and both monarchs and ministers pass through here, so it has become a habit over time.

Listening to Li Longji's judgment, Gao Xianzhi was quite surprised.

Will the crown prince come? Will he dare to confront the monarch face to face?

If you dare, you really underestimated the prince before!
