Everyone in the hall knows that Bian Lingcheng is deeply trusted by Emperor Li Longji and praised by Yang Guozhong, and he is almost a close confidant of Yang Guozhong. What's more, Bian Lingcheng is still the supervisor of all the horses in Tongguan City, what kind of person is the supervisor? It is a person who receives the emperor's will, supervises the army outside on behalf of the imperial court, and can protest with the commander of the army, and the commander of the army has no power to kill the officials who are in charge of military affairs, even if the supervision of the army is only served by eunuchs, and if the officials who are in charge of the army make any mistakes, they can only be punished and convicted by the order of the court and the emperor.

But now, Yang Xi, the new Tongguan soldier and horse envoy, privately killed a third-grade supervisor like Bian Lingcheng in front of the battle, and sent the head to the palace, how not surprising. Gao Lishi, who was waiting on the side, immediately stood up and pleaded: "Your Majesty, Yang Bingma made a private beheading of the prison army appointed by His Majesty, which has damaged the imperial court system, and he should be condemned by an edict!"

With Gao Lishi's words, the prince Li Heng, who had been high-profile during this time, immediately stood up and also demanded that Yang Xi be punished!

"Father, Yang Xi abused his power, and even privately killed the prison of an army in front of the battle, he didn't want his actions to be known by the imperial court, he was hiding his selfish intentions, and asked his father to send someone to investigate this matter immediately, he couldn't have the slightest sense of protection, otherwise it would make the soldiers feel cold!" Li Heng glanced angrily at Yang Guozhong, who had a shocked face on his side, and then said: "Father, the son thinks that Yang Xi's post should be suspended immediately, and someone else should be appointed to lead the Tongguan military, otherwise there will be endless trouble!"

Yang Guozhong didn't expect that Gao Lishi would stand up and ask the emperor to punish his son at the first time, and the crown prince Li Heng, who had always had a gap with him, also fell into the ground, so he almost said that Yang Xi had the intention of rebelling, and he was in a hurry, and he didn't think about it, so he immediately stood up and pleaded: "Your Majesty, there must be twists and turns in this matter, and the minister feels that he should make a decision after finding out the matter!"

When he said this, Yang Guozhong was blaming Yang Xi for his recklessness, he believed that it was impossible for his son not to know the importance of Bian Lingcheng, because when Yang Xi set off, he repeatedly told who could be trusted, Bian Lingcheng was the most important person among them, and he would help Yang Xi a lot, but he didn't expect that his precious son would kill Bian Lingcheng with a knife.

Killing Bian Lingcheng, of course Yang Guozhong knew that it could play a role in raising the sword and gaining the hearts of the army, and he was not worried that the emperor would be punished for this, because Yang Xi came with the head of the book, which must state the reason, and he also believed that his son had a private message to him, detailing why he did this.

But Bian Lingcheng has a very good relationship with him, and the help to him is too great, except for Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi, who he has always feared, Bian Lingcheng is a great meritorious, such a character was killed by his own son, how can he face other people who are introduced by him as cronies?

But at such times, he would certainly defend his son.

After listening to Yang Guozhong's words, Li Longji also recovered from the shock, signaled to the crown prince Li Heng, who still wanted to stand up and speak again, not to say anything, and opened the fold that Yang Xi sent with the head, and looked at it.

After reading it, the expression on his face relaxed, but then he became angry again, and finally slapped the table hard, startling Yang Guozhong, Gao Lishi and other ministers who were worried in their hearts!

"Bian Lingcheng actually abandoned the army and wanted to flee back to Chang'an without permission, and after being forced to return to Tongguan, he dared to say that he was ready to go back to Chang'an to move the rescue soldiers, and he should be killed! Good kill!" Li Longji's angry words startled the ministers again.

However, many people who heard this were still relieved, and Yang Guozhong, who was in a complicated mood, also relieved most of his heart.

Bian Lingcheng is dead, let's die, in exchange for the concerted efforts of the generals of Tongguan, let them obey Yang Xi's orders, Yang Guozhong can judge. The hateful Li Heng would fall into the well at such a time, and Yang Guozhong's heart was full of resentment.

At that moment, he immediately stepped forward and said to Li Longji: "Your Majesty, it turns out that Bian Lingcheng is cowardly and fled, ignoring the rout of the army, such a person, he must be killed quickly!" Although the dog Yang Xi's handling of this is inappropriate and needs to be reprimanded, it has strengthened the morale of the soldiers guarding Tongguan, and I hope that Your Majesty will not punish Yang Xi when he repels the attack of the rebels and wins the first battle, let him be guilty and make meritorious contributions!"

Wei Jiansu, Wei Fangjin and other Yang Guozhong's cronies also immediately stood up and expressed their support for Yang Xi's decision.

If Bian Lingcheng is allowed to do this, without punishment, and continues to let him return to the army as a superintendent, it will definitely greatly reduce the morale of the army, or even collapse. Now is a critical moment, and those who flee from the battle and are afraid of the enemy and cowardly must be severely punished, so as to respect and serve the best.

Colliers then also stood up, saying that he had misunderstood Yang Xi.

said that Yang Xi did this only because of Bian Lingcheng's escape, and it was not a big crime to behead those who escaped from the battle.

Yang Guozhong breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately knew that Gao Lishi did not say this against him, but only because Bian Lingcheng was a eunuch, and like Gao Lishi, the feeling of being sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox made Gao Lishi say this. If Yang Guozhong has scruples in the DPRK, Gao Lishi is the most important one. This eunuch is too trusted by Li Longji, and his influence in the court is not much worse than his.

Even if it is the crown prince Li Heng, Yang Guozhong is not very jealous, because Li Heng is not favored by Li Longji, and the emperor has always planned to change the crown prince. Yang Guozhong was of course relieved that Gao Lishi did not fall into the well at such a time, but his vigilance against Gao Lishi was further deepened.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one stood up to express a different opinion, Yang Guozhong once again came out to speak: "Your Majesty, now that Tongguan is in danger, there must be extraordinary means at an extraordinary moment, Yang Xi killed Bian Lingcheng in public, although there is a lack of conviction methods, but it is only a reversal of the first cut and then the music, but it is not too inappropriate, Your Majesty has promised to let Yang Xi have full authority to dispose of the military affairs of Tongguan, but not too much interference, then it is more reasonable to kill the escapees in other places, and please Your Majesty do not pursue this matter anymore!"

At this time, Yang Guozhong was already a little arrogant, and no one stood up to say that he wanted to hold Yang Xi responsible, so he had the courage to make such a request in front of the emperor.

"Well, Guozhong, what you said is reasonable, Bian Lingcheng is cowardly and afraid of the enemy, and it is indeed a capital crime to escape from the battle, since I have given Yang Xi full authority to dispose of Tongguan's military affairs, then it is understandable for him to do so, this matter is like this, you Aiqing should not pursue it anymore!" Li Longji closed Yang Xi's fold and motioned to the ministers not to discuss the matter anymore.

Of course, he didn't pursue it, mainly because Bian Lingcheng's escape annoyed him, and Yang Xi did a very good job, so it was unlikely that he would punish Yang Guozhong's son at this time. What's more, Tongguan is still in a critical state now, how can it be possible to punish the commander of the army again?
