Chapter 100: How to deal with the aftermath

—— Li Mi and Gao Shi, who were originally sent by Yang Xi to pacify several important places, also came back to report the situation to Yang Xi, saying that they had controlled several places and sent powerful people to continue to guard the town, so don't worry about chaos.

Yang Xi was also quite satisfied with the performance of the two. He didn't stay near the Xuanwu Gate, so he led his troops to guard the Xuanmen Gate and the Xuanwu Gate, and Pang Zhong's two cronies Zhonglang guarded Li Wei and Wang Nian after guarding the Yintai Gate, and then led a group of people to the Xuanzheng Palace.

When Wang Chen arrived at the Xuanzheng Palace, his father-in-law Guo Ziyi had already arrived there, and this was the first minister to arrive at the palace without participating in the actual action. Although Guo Ziyi did not participate in the operation, he was fully aware of Yang Xi's arrangement and made many suggestions, and Guo Ziyi's sons also controlled the men and horses during the operation tonight to help Yang Xi act. Guo Xi even commanded the Zuo Jinwuwei sergeant to directly participate in the operation near the Jianfu Gate of the Daming Palace, and is still leading the army to guard the direction of the main gate of the Daming Palace. Guo Ziyi had already seen something from the expression on Yang Xi's face, and he didn't need Yang Xi to explain, he knew the final result of today's mutiny

"Father-in-law, Your Majesty was brutally murdered by King Yong," Yang Xi whispered to Guo Ziyi after saluting him. Li Jue's queen Zheng did not live in the same hall as Li Jue, and she escaped by luck, but she was also frightened, and was being protected by Yang Xi's people, and Li Jue's other concubines were also supervised and were not allowed to run around without permission.

Guo Ziyi responded lightly, and there was no surprise.

At this time, other ministers came one after another, but many people did not know about it at all, and only guessed from various circumstances that something big must have happened in the palace. After entering the Xuanzheng Palace, they saw that the emperor was not here, but Yang Xi and Guo Ziyi, Li Mi, Gao Shi and others were standing, and they all had an ominous premonition, and they all thought that Yang Xi had launched a mutiny, just like Li Jue's initial speculation. I want to emulate Emperor Taizong and seize the throne. However, seeing that Yang Xi, Guo Ziyi, Li Mi and others all had serious faces, and the first few people who were not high-ranking officials did not dare to ask anything, and stood aside honestly.

Zhang Hao also soon came to the Xuanzheng Palace, and when he saw this situation, he sighed in his heart, and immediately stepped forward, and after saluting Yang Xi, Guo Ziyi, Li Mi and others, he asked, "His Royal Highness King Zhong, what happened?" ”

Zhang Hao asked. The other ministers who had already come to the palace also pricked up their ears to listen.

"Zhang Xianggong, His Royal Highness King Yong raised an army to rebel, commanded the left Yulin soldiers and horses to break through the Xuanwu Gate, rushed into the palace, and brutally killed His Majesty the Emperor. Fortunately, the rebel thief Yongwang Li Lan has been captured alive. All the servants have also been captured, and all of them have been summoned to discuss urgently how to deal with the aftermath. ”

"What? His Majesty the Emperor was killed by King Yong? Zhang Hao was stunned, his face pale. Totally unbelievable.

"Yes, in a while, this king will have people escort the Yongwang Li Lan here, and he will also escort all his comrades here, and let them personally tell you what is going on!"

At this time, Yan Zhenqing, Fang Xuan, and Li Lin, the three prime ministers, also came. Yang Xi told them about the situation again, and the three of them were also stunned, of course, Fang Xuan and Li Lin were very confused. They were very skeptical of what Yang Xi said.

They thought that Yang Xi should have led the army to storm the palace and launch a mutiny, preparing to seize the throne.

"I'll let Yongwang Li Lan tell you what happened!" Yang Xi didn't want to explain, he believed that what he said and what he said and Li Yu, Gao Shi, Pang Zhong and others were not enough to convince these people.

Soon the ministers to be summoned came to the palace one after another, and some members of the royal family also came to the Xuanzheng Palace.

After knowing the general situation of the matter, they were all stunned, and those sons of Li Longji were indignant. Some were talking softly, and the hall was buzzing. However, at this time, two teams of heavily armed Zuolong Wuwei sergeants lined up into the hall, standing on both sides with weapons in hand, many people were too frightened to speak, but some people were indignant about this, thinking that Yang Xi was threatening them with force.

Yang Xi stood at the head of the hall, signaled everyone to be quiet, and after all the voices stopped, he cleared his throat and said: "Colleagues, tonight, there was a mutiny in the palace, and Yongwang Li Xuan tried to plot the throne, led a group of Zuo Yulin Army, broke through the Xuanwu Gate, rushed into the Jinluan Palace, and brutally killed his brother, His Majesty the current Emperor. When the king heard the news, he immediately personally commanded the left and right dragon guards to enter the Daming Palace to suppress the rebellion of King Yong. It's a pity that he was a step late, and His Majesty had already been killed by Li Lan. Fortunately, Li Lan's rebellion was quelled, his people were captured alive, and other major figures involved in the rebellion were also captured. Several of Li Lu's sons also participated in the rebellion, and they commanded their own soldiers to attack the mansions of Li Zhuo, the king of Ning, and several other sons of His Majesty, and killed them all. ”

In fact, Li Ling and others will attack Li Zhuo's mansion or Yang Xi is a ghost in it, he secretly sent the news to Li Luan, saying that Li Ju's mansion has a large number of private soldiers, ready to be used to deal with Li Luan, Li Ling was afraid, so Li Ling and others attacked Li Ju's mansion. In fact, these people don't have many personal soldiers in their mansions, so they don't pose a threat to Li Luan.

"Huh?!" Many people were shocked when they heard it, and the boss with his mouth open was completely unbelievable.

"Your Royal Highness King Zhong, let's bring King Yong in and let my colleagues be judged by the palace!" Li Mi suggested on the side.

Yang Xi nodded to Li Mi, raised his head and shouted to His Royal Highness: "Bring in King Yong, and bring in everyone who participated in the rebellion!"

With the sound of the promise, a group of sergeants left quickly, and the elders of the ministers in the hall all looked in the direction of the outside of the hall, waiting for Li Lan to be escorted in.

They knew that all suspicions would be confirmed after Li Lan was brought in.

It was only a short time before Yongwang Li Xuan was escorted into the hall by two captains of Zuolong Wuwei, and behind him were Li Xuan and several other Li Xuan sons, as well as some ministers and generals of the forbidden army.

Li Lan was pushed to the front of the hall, and the others were also pushed over.

Just when Li Lan was pushed to the front of the palace, Fang Xuan, who was extremely angry, stepped forward, pointed at Li Lan's nose and shouted: "Your Royal Highness Yongwang, you actually did such a thing that lost benevolence and righteousness, and dared to kill the king and make trouble?" ”

After Li Lan was captured by the members of the special task force, his original fear became less as time passed, and his heart was more angry and angry, he wanted to vent it, if he saw Yang Xi, he would definitely pounce on him immediately, kill Yang Xi with a knife, or kick him hard. Now that he was being taken into the temple like a prisoner, and immediately a man came up and questioned him unceremoniously, he could not help but stretch out his kick and kick it hard.

The two forbidden army captains who were escorting him didn't expect Li Xuan to be like this, and they didn't have time to stop it, but Li Lan kicked a kick right on Fang Xuan's body, kicking Fang Xuan on his back and facing the sky. Fang Xuan is not young, and after being kicked to the ground vigorously, he felt that his heart was in pain, and he couldn't get up all of a sudden, so he struggled with his hands and feet.

Yang Xi hurriedly stepped forward, helped Fang Xuan up, and strictly ordered the detained sergeants to control the prisoners and not let them make trouble again. The two lieutenants knew that they had caused a catastrophe, and they desperately pressed Li Lan's body, so that Li Lan couldn't raise his head.

Li Lan was in pain, and scolded Yang Xi, saying that Yang Xi had ruined his good deeds, and he couldn't wait to cut Yang Xi, a mongrel, with a thousand knives, and said that he was unlucky today and didn't control the situation well, otherwise Yang Xi Lingchi would definitely be executed.

Unexpectedly, Li Lan didn't need to ask him to take the initiative to scold everything, Yang Xi was very happy, and quietly let Li Lan scold, until Li Lan vented his anger and stopped his mouth after feeling that something was wrong, he walked to Li Lan's side and asked sharply: "Li Lan, in order to seek the throne, you did not hesitate to ignore the righteousness of the world and brotherly affection, launched a mutiny, and killed His Majesty the Emperor, what crime should you be guilty of?" ”

"Yang Xi, it's all your good thing to spoil me, if it weren't for you, I would be the last one to laugh today, not you, and it wouldn't be your turn to speak here now!" Li Lan had no clue at all, no reason, struggling violently, trying to break free, rushing over to fight with Yang Xi, and yelling, "Yang Xi, you bastard, you plot against me, you ......"

However, his angry scolding couldn't be said, and Yang Xi, who already felt that Li Lan had said enough, slapped Li Lan on the face at an unexpected speed, and several of Li Lan's teeth also fell down.

"Li Luan, you plotted rebellion and killed the current emperor, the crime is unforgivable, and you will be put on death row immediately, and you will be convicted after careful interrogation! Hold on!"

Yang Xi's face was murderous, and he actually calmed everyone at once, no one dared to come forward to say anything, and Li Xi's sons were also scared stupid. Li Ling was so frightened that she fell to the ground, and after Li Ling was dragged away, she cried in fright.

Zhang Hao and Li Lin stepped forward and personally questioned Li Ling and other people involved in the rebellion, and came to the same conclusion, that is, Li Ling wanted to seek the throne, so he killed the emperor Li Ling, in order to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, he wanted to kill all Li Jue's sons, including Yang Xi, and after controlling the situation, those who were unwilling to obey Li Ling were also eliminated, and finally sat firmly in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Ling, who was frightened stupidly, was like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, and told Li Ling's plan in one go, and finally cried loudly in the hall. The other servants couldn't resist this momentum, and when they were inquired, they all told them all about the situation. These people have said the situation, then the "truth" will be revealed, and the Dali Temple will interrogate again, and after having a detailed case file, you can be convicted.

After asking these people to explain the general situation, Yang Xi also asked them to drag them out.

After these people were dragged out, the temple suddenly fell silent again.

Yang Xi stood in front of the ministers with different faces, and said in a deep voice: "Colleagues, I believe you also understand what happened, Yongwang Li Lan wants to seize the throne and kill the monarch to make chaos, and heaven will not tolerate it. Today, the king also wants to ask your colleagues, how to deal with this matter? His Majesty the Emperor has been killed by the rebels, how to deal with the aftermath? (To be continued......)
