(Thank you very much for the many tips from or Yuchen book friends!) Ask for a monthly pass, tip!) ——

The large-scale military rebellion in Chang'an City made the people panic, they didn't know what was happening, they only saw the forbidden army in the palace attacking each other on the street, countless people were killed and wounded, and many people were frightened and fled. After Li Heng's rebellion began, the originally lively streets of Chang'an soon became deserted, and even the lively eastern and western cities were almost empty. Countless people were spreading the news from nowhere, but they did not dare to show their faces on the street again, and either hid in nearby hotels and teahouses, or hurried home, closed the door, and whispered to their families not to go out. In Chang'an City, there are panicked scenes everywhere.

The city of Chang'an was soon deserted, but then martial law was immediately issued, the east and west cities were closed, and the doors of the squares were also closed, and the people had to stay at home and not go out until martial law was lifted. The streets were full of soldiers from Jingzhao Mansion and soldiers of the forbidden army patrolling and arresting people.

Xiao Hua, Du Hongchuan, Pei Mian and other people who followed Li Heng's rebellion were soon surrounded by the soldiers of the forbidden army, and then they were confiscated, chickens and dogs jumped, and groups of men, women and children were taken away by the fierce and vicious soldiers of the forbidden army, and put in a prison to be disposed of.

Because of the suddenness of the incident, many family members involved in the rebellion did not know what had happened, and no one knew whether bad luck would befall them, and those officials who had ghosts in their hearts heard the sound of horses' hooves running back and forth on the street, and they were restless in the house, fearing that the soldiers of the forbidden army would rush to their house and raid their mansion.

After Guo Ziyi, in his capacity as the "prime minister" of the Political Affairs Hall, issued an order based on Li Longji's new edict to arrest and raid the offenders, the handling of the rebellion entered the final stage. After arranging the situation, ordering his subordinates to strictly follow the orders, arresting the remaining Li Heng followers and their families, and restoring order in Chang'an City, Guo Ziyi returned to Xingqing Palace with Yang Xi and other officials who participated in the handling of the incident, and reported to Emperor Li Longji.

Prior to this, a number of briefings had already been passed to Li Longji, and Li Longji probably knew the basic situation.

After arranging things, when Yang Xi followed Guo Ziyi back to the palace to resume his life, it was already nearly midnight.

Li Longji, who was extremely mentally exhausted, forced himself to sleep after dinner, and after people around him reported that Yang Xi, Guo Ziyi and others had returned to the palace to resume their lives, Li Longji also strengthened his body and met Yang Xi and Guo Ziyi and other people who generally made great contributions to quelling Li Heng's rebellion in his own dormitory. Yang Yuhuan was also on the side, after the rebellion, she had been by Li Longji's side, although the extreme nervousness caused by the fright made her feel very tired, but she didn't go to rest and stayed by Li Longji's side.

She was very confident in Yang Xi and believed that this little man could command the soldiers of the forbidden army and put down Li Heng's rebellion. At the time of the Tongguan crisis, Yang Xi was able to turn the tide and save Datang from danger in such a situation, and Yang Xi, who had already been wary of Li Heng, must have been prepared for this. At the time of the Tongguan crisis, Yang Xi was unprepared, he could succeed, and now if he is prepared, how can he fail?

During the period of accompanying Li Longji, Yang Yuhuan has also been comforting the emperor who was very frightened, telling Li Longji not to worry, there will be nothing wrong, and he lost no time in praising Yang Xi a few words, saying that Yang Xi had already expected that Li Heng would make a rebellion, and made preparations for this, Li Heng would definitely not be able to become a climate, and hoped that after the rebellion was quelled, Yang Xi would be given enough rewards.

During this time, Yang Yuhuan said that Li Heng was not in front of Li Longji many times, and Li Longji almost moved the idea of abolishing Li Heng's crown prince, but because of Gao Lishi's persuasion, he did not make up his mind. Now that Li Heng has simply raised troops to make a rebellion, how can Li Longji hesitate and immediately issue an edict to abolish Li Heng's crown prince and depose him as a concubine.

How to deal with this waste prince in the future, Li Longji has not yet made a final decision. However, after this incident got up, Li Longji immediately recalled what Yang Yuhuan said about Li Heng during this time, and thought of the disgraceful things that Li Heng had done over the years that Yu Chaoen had explained, and he was angry. It turned out that his son had been planning to deal with him, a father, by forceful means, and wanted to follow Li Shimin's example to have another mutiny in the palace and seize power.

Thinking of this, Li Longji's hatred for Li Heng has increased a lot, but he hasn't thought about how to deal with this son in the end.

After listening to Yang Xi and Guo Ziyi's reports, Li Longji knew that the situation was completely under control, and most of Li Heng and his followers had been captured and interrogated intensively. All the people implicated in it must be arrested, and the participants who confessed must also be arrested, these words Li Longji had already ordered during the day, and after hearing the new report, he said it again to Yang Xi, Guo Ziyi, and others.

Everyone is the only one who promises.

When Yang Xi and others reported to Li Longji, Yang Yuhuan did not avoid it, but stayed by Li Longji's side to listen. Her feelings for Yang Xi have changed again, this little man's ability to do things is really not comparable to ordinary people. In such a critical situation, he did not panic at all, and was the first to stand up and ask for battle, and finally led the army to quell the rebellion, even Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi and other generals in a hundred battles, did not perform well as him.

Women are all heroes who love heroes, Yang Yuhuan is no exception, Li Longji's heroism and courage when he was young made her fall in love, but Li Longji in the twilight no longer has the courage of the past, which made Yang Yuhuan a little disappointed, especially after Li Heng's rebellion this time, Li Longji was so frightened that the six gods had no master, and even wanted to escape and hide, which was too far behind Yang Xi, who was not afraid at all.

She looked at Yang Xi with a strange look, of course, appreciating, loving, and pity. She was even thinking about what method to use to reward Yang Xi, and what kind of reward Li Longji would give to match Yang Xi's great achievements. She even praised Yang Xi in front of Li Longji and the ministers, saying that Yang Xi once again turned the tide in the moment of crisis and was a hero of the Tang Dynasty.

However, just when Yang Yuhuan was thinking about Yang Xi, Yang Xi stood up at an inopportune time and stated another thing.

"Your Majesty, I beg your Majesty to arrest Gao Lishi as well, the minister has sufficient evidence to prove that Gao Lishi has a lot of connections with the abolished prince, and has planned a lot of things for the abolished prince!" Yang Xi pointed to Gao Lishi, who was waiting beside Li Longji, and played very seriously: "Your Majesty, without Gao Lishi's help, the abolished prince can't do many things if he wants to, and I also ask Your Majesty to order that Gao Lishi be arrested and imprisoned for interrogation." ”

Yang Xi stood up and said these words when everyone had made things clear and Li Longji ordered them all to step down.

These words were dropped like a bombshell, and everyone present was blown up.

Gao Lishi, who was full of complaints, was also stunned when he heard Yang Xi accuse him in public, and he didn't come back to his senses for a while. But it was almost like an instinct, and he immediately stood up and retorted: "Your Majesty, Young Master Yang is spewing blood, but the old slave has always been loyal to His Majesty, and he will never do anything to be sorry for His Majesty." Your Majesty, Young Eunuch Yang is slandering, he wants to take the opportunity to throw sewage on the old slave, Your Majesty, he ...... He...... Yang Xi was dissatisfied with His Majesty's reuse of people like the old slave, so he said this. During the day, the old slave asked him to respect His Majesty's will and treat the abolished prince and his followers kindly, in order to show His Majesty's benevolence, but Yang Xi refused and did not take His Majesty's will in his eyes at all...... Your Majesty, Yang Xi thinks that he has made outstanding achievements in battle, and he doesn't take everyone seriously. Your Majesty, he supports the army and respects himself, he has other plans, and I hope that Your Majesty will see that the old slave will never do anything sorry for Your Majesty, and please ask Your Majesty to be the master of the old slave!"

As he spoke, he knelt on the ground with a thud and kowtowed vigorously to plead.

Gao Lishi has followed Li Longji for so many years, and has seen a lot of ups and downs in the court, although Yang Xi's sudden attack caught him a little off guard, but he quickly came back to his senses, and knew that Yang Xi would definitely not be untargeted, and he must have mastered some important human and material evidence to say so. Now is a very moment, anyone implicated in Li Heng's rebellion will be arrested and imprisoned, he knows what he has done, what things are easy to be caught, so he also asked Li Longji for the first time, hoping that Li Longji will not hold him accountable for the sake of his loyal followers for many years.

Yang Xi's sudden attack made Yang Yuhuan and Guo Ziyi, Wei Jiansu, Fang Xuan, Li Guangbi, Gao Shi and others all frightened, Yang Yuhuan almost screamed, she never imagined that Yang Xi would make such words against Gao Lishi at this time, and openly asked the emperor to dispose of the closest eunuchs around him. Did Yang Xi really grasp the evidence of Gaolis's participation in this rebellion, and wanted to take the opportunity to **Gaolis?

Seeing the confidence on Yang Xi's face, Yang Yuhuan immediately decided his thoughts, although this little man is young, he still won't be very impulsive, if he is not sure, it is impossible to say this openly in front of the emperor and Gao Lishi, and so many ministers. She was thinking quickly in her heart, how to help Yang Xi in a while.

Of course, Guo Ziyi and Gao Shi, the two people closest to Yang Xi, were also dumbfounded, they didn't expect Yang Xi to be so urgent, and wanted to take advantage of this time to take advantage of Gao Lishi's **. Gao Shi knew a little about Yang Xi's movements some time ago, but he didn't know what Yang Xi had mastered, and he was also playing the drum in his heart, afraid that Yang Xi was just talking too impulsively. Guo Ziyi was not too worried because Yang Xi said something to him when he attacked the East Palace, but it was just an accident that Yang Xi would attack Gao Lishi at this time.

Of course, Li Longji's surprise was no less than anyone else's, if Li Heng's blatant rebellion had already made him extremely angry, then what Yang Xi had just said further pushed the anger in his heart higher. This anger includes his anger at Yang Xi standing up and accusing Gao Lishi at this time, and also his anger that Gao Lishi, the person he trusts the most, may also be involved in this matter.

At the moment, he shouted angrily: "Yang Xi, what evidence do you have to accuse Gao Lishi of being related to Li Heng's rebellion?" ”

If Yang Xi was framed, then he couldn't bear it anymore! (To be continued.) )
