---------------
Li Heng's proposal just now to punish Yang Xi and suspend Yang Xi's post made Li Longji a little annoyed! He knew that Li Heng's move was only to vent his personal anger, and it was not based on the righteousness of the imperial court, so he unceremoniously refused, and expressed his trust in Yang Guozhong and Yang Xi in the palace.
Of course, it is enough to see Li Longji's favor for Yang Guozhong from calling Yang Guozhong "Guozhong" in the palace.
However, Li Longji would not call Yang Guozhong that way at the official court meeting, and today was just an emergency court meeting.
If it was replaced by other ministers, the defeat of Tongguan Lingbao would be enough for him to punish and even behead Yang Guozhong. The other people in the palace also knew the extent of Yang Guozhong's favor, so no one stood up and took advantage of Gao Lishi's proposal to demand that Yang Guozhong's crime be punished, except for the crown prince Li Heng. But Li Heng dared to say it once, Li Longji said this, he no longer dared to stand up and accuse Yang Xi, he also understood that he was too anxious to say just now.
What Yang Xi did was actually done by the eunuchs who supervised the army, and the eunuchs who supervised the army were to monitor the generals of the army for the imperial court. Yang Xi, who was given full power by the emperor, did this, in fact, he reluctantly said that in the past, if Bian Lingcheng was not a eunuch in the army, but no one would feel strange.
Seeing that the emperor said this, Yang Guozhong was completely relieved and didn't say anything anymore, but at this time, the crown prince Li Heng stood up again and said loudly: "Father, Bian Lingcheng has been beheaded, and the generals of Tongguan no longer have a supervising army, and the sons think that another person should be sent to supervise the army as soon as possible!"
As soon as he heard that it was Li Heng who stood up and made this suggestion, Yang Guozhong couldn't help but make a sudden sudden, looked at Li Longji, and hoped that Li Longji would oppose it.
But what disappointed him was that after thinking about it for a while, Li Longji nodded in agreement.
"Well, the prince's proposal is reasonable, and he should send another person as the supervisor of the army to supervise the military affairs of Tongguan!" Li Longji said, looked at Gao Lishi beside him, and then looked around the ministers in the palace, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, who do you think is better to appoint as the supervisor of Tongguan?" ”
Hearing that Li Longji agreed to his request, and immediately asked the ministers about the candidates for the supervision of the army, Li Heng was overjoyed, and without waiting for the ministers to react, he immediately stood up and said: "Father, the son chayexschayexs. This person has been in the palace for many years, steady, never wrong, and a long clever, can be entrusted with important matters, and the son chayexschayexs recommends this person to Tongguan to serve as a supervisor! I believe that Yu Chaoen will definitely live up to his father's expectations, and his father can summon Yu Chaoen to the palace to try his talents!"
After listening to what Li Heng said, Li Longji hesitated, looked at Gao Lishi on the side, and then looked at Yang Guozhong, who was full of anxiety, and did not immediately agree or object. Yu Chaoen had heard of this person before, but he didn't have much contact, so he couldn't make up his mind easily, and hoped to listen to other people's opinions, after all, the question of the selection of eunuchs in the prison army is not a trivial matter, and if it is not selected well, it will ruin a big matter.
Hearing Li Heng say this, and seeing that the emperor was a little tempted, Yang Guozhong could still hold back and immediately stood up against it: "Your Majesty, the minister does not agree with what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said!" Since His Majesty has given Yang Xi full authority to dispose of Tongguan's affairs, there is no need to set up a supervising army in the army! Now that the soldiers of Tongguan Town have all retreated from the defeat of Lingbao, if someone goes over to point fingers, maybe it will make the army's morale chaotic again! The minister felt that even if he wanted to send the prison army to Tongguan, he would have to wait for the situation in Tongguan to calm down and the rebels were repulsed! Moreover, the candidate for the prison army needs to be carefully weighed, Yu Chaoen has not been in the palace for a long time, and he has not served in front of His Majesty, His Majesty does not know anything about this person, how can he easily entrust him to Tongguan to serve as such an important position as the prison army? ”
Of course, Yang Guozhong did not object to sending eunuchs to Tongguan to supervise the army, but he opposed Li Heng's proposal, of course he knew that after Li Heng proposed this proposal, he would definitely immediately recommend someone to be the prisoner, and the person who recommended him must be Li Heng's own cronies.
Li Heng's reaction was not surprising at all, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince immediately recommended his confidant eunuch Yu Chaoen.
Who is Yu Chaoen Yang Guozhong probably knows that this is one of Li Heng's most trusted eunuchs, and it can be said that he is the one who revolves around Li Heng all day long.
Li Heng recommended Yu Chaoen to go to the supervisor of the soldiers and horses in Tongguan, how could Yang Guozhong not know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was thinking.
How could he tolerate Li Heng sending his cronies to Tongguan to supervise his son?
If you want to send someone who has sent Thaksin, you won't be able to restrain Yang Xi!
There are many eunuchs in the palace who have his trust, but there are no eunuchs who are as capable as Bian Lingcheng and loyal to him, and he can't think of anyone at once. At this time, he was a little annoyed in his heart, his son was too bold, and he killed Bian Lingcheng without saying hello, so that now he has a problem, and he has to conflict with Li Hengdang.
However, this time Li Heng did not back down, but stood up again and said: "Father, the system of the country cannot be abolished, since the father has set up a supervision system in the army, and has stationed a supervision army in all armies, then there can be no exceptions, in the Tongguan army, the supervision army must be stationed immediately, and the generals of the supervision army must not be killed by other armies for the same reason, so not all armies can get rid of the supervision of the imperial court?" In this way, the world will be in turmoil, and rebellions will break out! Erchen doesn't agree with what Yang Xianggong said just now!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's words are wrong! If you want rebels, even if there are supervisors in the army, they will rise up and plot rebellion, just like An Lushan and the like, and those who do not have a prison army will not necessarily cause chaos, just like the current Tongguan soldiers and horses!" Yang Guozhong said, turned to the emperor on the throne and said: "Your Majesty, it is not a matter that must be solved by sending the prison army to Tongguan now, the most important thing to do now is to let the soldiers and horses who rescue Tongguan speed up their march, arrive at Tongguan City one day earlier, and jointly resist the siege of the rebels!" Yichen estimated that the rebels were only temporarily retreating, but it was impossible for them to retreat far away, and it was impossible for them not to attack Tongguan for a long time! Yang Xi's letter also explained that the rebels will take advantage of the new defeat of our army and the weak defensive strength of Tongguan to attack the city, and today's rapid attack of the rebels is proof! Please also ask Your Majesty to give another order to General Chen to speed up his march!"
"Well, Guozhong is right, the most important thing now is to rescue Tongguan as soon as possible and prevent Tongguan from being captured by the rebels, instead of dispatching the prison army as soon as possible! On the issue of the selection of the Tongguan Prison Army, I will decide after thinking about it!" Li Longji said, sat up straight, and shouted the order: "Then pass on the order to Chen Xuanli, the general of Longwu, and order him to speed up his march, and he must arrive at Tongguan before dark tomorrow, otherwise he will be severely punished!"
"Yes!" Immediately, a eunuch rose up and hurried to deliver the order.
