    Li Longji walked around the Xingqing Hall with his hands behind his back.  Yang Yuhuan sat in a corner with a horrified look on his face.  "I don't know what the situation is" Li Longji thought to himself. At this moment, he heard a noise from outside, and then a guard said outside the palace: "Princess Shou'an asks to see you." "Let Shou'an come in."  Li Longji pondered for a moment and then said.  Shou'an appeared at the entrance of the hall wearing tight-fitting clothes, with handsome eyebrows and a short sword on his waist.  Seeing her like this, Li Longji's face darkened: "What are you talking about?" "My daughter heard about the chaos in the capital, so she came to protect Aye." Shou'an patted the hilt of the sword at his waist: "Don't worry, Aye.  "With my daughter here, I will not let thieves come here." Hearing her words, Li Longji was both angry and funny: "If thieves break into Xingqing Palace, what's the use of you here You  "A girl's family is not afraid." "My father was not afraid when the chaos was over, and my daughter is not afraid now," Shou'an said.  Li Longji's spirit perked up, and his mind couldn't help but drift away, thinking about the two coups he launched.  The memories of the past made him regain some of the feelings of his youth. He smiled and said: "Bring me my sword." A young eunuch held up the sword. Li Longji grabbed the sword, and his heart suddenly calmed down. He was no longer in the Xingqing Hall.  He turned around. He moved the brocade stool to Yang Yuhuan's side and said with a smile: "Shou'an raised his sword to protect me, and I raised my sword to protect my beloved concubine." "Sage" Yang Yuhuan forced a smile and said: "I will protect you with my sword."  I can only rely on the saint for protection.  " Li Longji still saw fear in her eyes. He reached out and patted her shoulder. He looked up and saw Shou'an standing in front of the hall with his sword guard. He couldn't help but smile: "Shou'an is quite similar to me back then. He was very courageous.  He has a wild temper and is not afraid of anything." When he said this, he felt a little sad: "There was chaos in the capital, and dozens of my children came to defend me with swords, but only Shouan was the only one." "Don't be upset, saint, the other princes and noble daughters,  Unlike Shouan, who always follows the saint, they don't know about it at this time. If they know about it, they will come to protect him.  "Yang Yuhuan said reluctantly. "Li Longji was talking about Shou'an, but actually he also meant Ye Chang. There are so many officials in Beijing, but the person who can discern the traitor in times of crisis is Ye Chang, who is gradually becoming suspicious of him.  Yang Yuhuan also knew this, and she was very anxious. After hearing the news, she immediately sent someone to deliver a message to Yang Zhao, asking him to come here quickly to escort him. However, she heard the smoke and saw that there was a lot of chaos outside.  I'm afraid that Yang Zhao won't get the news for a while, but even if he doesn't get the news, as an important minister, when he sees the chaos in the capital, the first thing he should do is to look for the emperor. Just when Yang Yuhuan was thinking wildly,  Chen Xuanli's voice could be heard outside: "Sage, Chen Xilie and Yuan Gongdao are here to protect the saint." "Is Chen Xilie here?  Li Longji was overjoyed: "Okay, okay, let him summon all the officials to discuss matters, including Yuan Qing, and let him assist Chen Qing in his actions."  " Chen Xilie was trembling as he stood outside. As a prime minister, he took advantage of his lack of presence. When the king arranged for manpower to isolate China and foreign countries, he did not send anyone to stop him, so he was able to rush over in time. He didn't have much.  Courageous, he came here not so much to be a guard, but to seek the protection of Li Longji's bodyguards. Hearing Li Longji's voice in the hall, he calmed down, and then said "obey the order" loudly. Yuan Gongjiu secretly said.  He couldn't help laughing. He was informed by Ye Chang, so he could arrive so quickly. This was a great opportunity to flatter and show loyalty. Those who came early and those who came late left different impressions on the emperor's mind. After another moment,  Officials from all sides arrived one after another. Even Prince Li Heng and the princes and grandsons from the Ten Princes' House Baisun Court came after hearing the news. This made Li Longji feel relieved and no longer nervous. He smiled and said to Yang Yuhuan: "  I expected that the rebels were incapable of doing anything, but they were unable to isolate me from my officials, which proved that the rebels were short of manpower and the number of followers was not large. I think it won't be long before there is good news.  " He thought for a while, then patted Yang Yuhuan's face: "My beloved, please wait here until I go to see the ministers.  Shou'an followed him out with his sword drawn. Li Longji looked at the princes and grandsons again, and was about to shake his head when he saw one of them also following him with his sword drawn.  Li Zhen, the king of Jianning County.  This is the grandson of Emperor Li Longji, the son of Crown Prince Li Heng, who has always been heroic.  Seeing his appearance, Li Longji smiled and nodded. After all, there are brave people among his descendants.  With Shou'an and Li Chen as examples, other older disciples and grandsons also wanted to follow. Li Longji told them to stay, as long as Shou'an, Li Chen and Yongwang Li Xiang followed.  When he arrived outside the palace, he saw dozens of civil and military people standing in the courtyard in front of the palace.  When the ministers saw his figure, they all shouted long live, and they were all happy.  "Is Yang Zhao here?" Li Longji asked after scanning the crowd.  "I am here, I am here" The response was not among the ministers, but at the door. Immediately afterwards, Yang Zhao was seen running over with a sword in one hand and twisting the corner of his official robe in the other.  MinistersAt first, they looked at him with some gloating. After all, as a close confidant of the saint, he came so late. However, when everyone found blood stains on his body and blood stains on the sword in his hand, their expressions changed.  Li Longji also noticed this: "What's going on, sir?" "The traitors surrounded my house. After breaking the siege, I was in a hurry to protect the saint, so I didn't deal with it. I asked the saint to forgive me." Yang Zhao looked up and down.  Looking at Li Longji, seeing that Li Longji was fine, he took a deep breath, turned over and knelt down, and almost cried: "I came late, and the saint was frightened. I am guilty." "What does it have to do with you, sir?"  He is a civil servant, and it is amazing to be able to kill traitors." Li Longji said in a harmonious voice, "Every one of the ministers were secretly annoyed after hearing this. Why didn't they think of this move? They should have been with them when they ran over.  Stain some blood, and then kill a few chickens and dogs, so that you can have double the effect of showing your loyalty. "I have already asked, the traitor is the king. I asked the saint to give an edict. Xu Chen, together with Longwu General Chen Xuanli, led  The guards captured the king," Yang Zhao said again.  "No need, I think the king has been captured now." Li Longji said.  Chen Xuanli sighed silently. Although Yang Zhao was smart, when it came to pleasing Li Longji, he was still far behind Ye Chang.  Taking the Longwu Army guards to capture the king seems very loyal, but doesn¡¯t this mean reducing the defense power of Xingqing Palace?  Ye Chang just said to capture the king, but he only brought his own bodyguards. Li Longji asked Chen Xuanli to send troops to him, but he refused. "It turns out that your Majesty knows thousands of miles and has already made arrangements." Yang Zhao lowered his eyes and covered his face.  With a look of surprise, he exclaimed: "The king is a traitor and rebels against nature, but he is bringing about his own destruction." "King, oh king" Li Longji sighed.  Before today, Li Longji had always believed that the king should be one of the courtiers who was both loyal and capable. Otherwise, he would not have been elevated to such an important position.  He also knew that Wang and Yang Zhao were almost at odds with each other, and had turned against Ye Chang. To a certain extent, he condoned and even promoted the deterioration of the relationship between these three important ministers, but he did not expect that Wang would use this method.  , to respond to his machinations.  "I wonder who the saint sent to capture the king?" Yang Zhao scanned the crowd. He did not meet the envoy sent by Yang Yuhuan, so he was not clear about some situations. He just saw that there was no Ye Chang in the crowd, so he was careful.  asked.  "Ye Chang." Li Longji answered slowly.  There are many generals in the DPRK, and there are also a few with frontier experience, but the first one to react was Ye Chang. Yang Zhao almost paused when he heard the name.  He suddenly remembered the dispute between Ye Chang and Wang at Chunming Gate. At that time, Ye Chang attacked Wang Huai and he temporarily agreed. At that time, he thought it was just Ye Chang's stupid move. Now it seems that that kind of behavior  , isn¡¯t that foresight?  While he was thinking about it, he heard the guards coming from outside to report: "General Gao and Ye Zhongcheng have captured the king and have arrived in front of Xingqing Palace." Upon hearing that the king was captured, Li Longji suddenly felt that the last trace of worry in his heart was gone. He smiled  He looked at the ministers and said, "How about it? I'll just say it. It won't take long." After saying that, he was a little curious: "How come Ye Qing and Gao Lishi are together Chen Xilie, Yang Zhao, and Yuan Gongli  "The three of you go out to greet me." When the officials heard this, their eyes immediately focused on Yuan Gongdao, and the jealousy in their eyes could almost turn into knives.  Those who can go to greet him on behalf of Li Longji at this time are undoubtedly the important ministers that Li Longji relies on.  Chen Xilie is the prime minister, Yang Zhao is the Minister of Household Affairs and will soon be promoted to prime minister, and Yuan Gongdao is just an idle official of Yushi Zhongcheng. Thinking that the censor doctor Wang must be finished, then it is almost certain that Yuan Gongdao will take over this position.  The three of them left Xingqing Palace under the attention of the ministers. When they arrived outside the palace, they saw Gao Lishi and Ye Chang coming side by side. The two were chatting and laughing, very affectionate.  Seeing this situation, Yang Zhao's heart skipped a beat and he cursed a few times secretly.  With the king dead, Chen Xilie no longer has any help to fight with him, and he is too close to the king. It is hard to say whether he can escape this time.  Then, the last enemy in front of Yang Zhao is Ye Chang.  Therefore, Yang Zhao was very worried about Ye Chang and Gao Lishi colluding together. After all, although Gao Lishi did not show much edge, he was a character that even Li Linfu could not deal with back then.  "Mr. Gao, Mr. Ye, thank you for your hard work. Thank you for your hard work. The sage ordered me to come out to greet you." Yang Zhao was thinking about how Gao Lishi and Ye Chang would get together. Over there, Chen Xilie was already greeting him with a smile on his face.  He walked up to her with an extremely affectionate expression, and spoke words of praise one after another, as if he didn't want to salivate.  Everyone knows what he means. With Wang's demise, Chen Xilie's position is once again in danger. Under such circumstances, he must seize every opportunity to save himself as much as possible.  Ye Chang and Gao Lishi looked at each other and both laughed  "How dare you trouble Mr. Chen?" Gao Lishi said: "The king of the eternal rebels is here." Chen Xilie didn't even look at the defeated king. At this time, he had to keep as far away from the king as he could.  He continued to flatter him until Yang Zhao couldn't hear it anymore and urged: "The saint is still waiting. If Mr. Chen has anything to say, let's talk about it after today's incident." Chen Xilie smiled, but he was thick-skinned and nodded repeatedly.  : "Yes, yes, I almost forgot about this serious matter. Fortunately, I have Mr. Yang Alas, people are not good anymore when they are old. In the future, I ask Mr. Yang to take more care of government affairs so that the old man can have some leisure time."  It is said that Yang Zhao heard the elegant meaning of Xiange and immediately understood what he meant.  Chen Xilie gave up. He wanted to be like Li Linfu when he was in power, being a prime minister with no sense of existence at all. He just begged Yang Zhao not to deal with him.  Yang Zhao's thoughts changed rapidly. If this could really be done, that would be great.  It is impossible for the court to allow one person to be the prime minister for too long. After Chen Xilie is replaced, another person will come up. The new person may not be as honest and understanding as Chen Xilie. "Haha, hahahaha" Watching this scene with cold eyes  The king suddenly burst into laughter.  "Stop his mouth and don't let him talk nonsense. If the filthy words disturb the saint, no one can bear it." Chen Xilie heard the king laugh, frowned, and ordered to the palace guards.  He raised the banner of Li Longji, and no one dared to neglect him.  Wang didn't struggle, he just sneered and stared at him with cold eyes. Even Chen Xilie, who was thick-skinned and dark-hearted, was so stunned that his hair stood on end.  Led Ye Chang and Gao Lishi, everyone stepped into the gate of Xingqing Palace together.  "You two, please go first." When they arrived in front of Xingqing Hall, Chen Xilie stepped aside. He gave way, and Yang Zhao had no choice but to step aside. Yuan Gongdao followed Ye Chang closely.  "This" Ye Chang hesitated a little and asked the prime minister and minister to make way for him. It looked glorious, but it was a bit too ostentatious.  "Mr. Ye just took charge and left. Today's first achievement is to put an end to the chaos. If these things are not there, how can we reveal the wisdom of today's Holy Emperor?" Gao Lishi pulled Ye Chang and said.  He also gave Ye Chang half a shoulder. This was not only humility, but also an expression of his gratitude to Ye Chang.  When Yang Zhao saw this admiration, he frowned again, then quickly opened it and replaced it with a smile.  How did these two people get together?  But he didn¡¯t know that after leaving Xingqing Palace, Ye Chang immediately sent someone to Gao Lishi¡¯s house to inform Gao Lishi to meet him.  Ye Chang knew very well that he alone had the credit for capturing Wang and quelling the rebellion. Apart from arousing jealousy for himself, there was no practical benefit. It would be better to use this credit in exchange for some actual support.  For example, Gao Lishi¡¯s support.  Although Gao Lishi was Li Longji's most favored eunuch, he had his own mansion outside the palace. Ye Chang didn't see him in Xingqing Palace, so he knew that he must have gone back to his mansion today.  Failure to quell the chaos would be a heavy blow to Gao Lishi's position in Li Longji's heart, which Gao Lishi could not tolerate.  By giving Gao Lishi half the credit for quelling the rebellion, he would be able to gain a certain degree of support from this powerful eunuch, which would not only repair the estranged relationship between the two parties due to Li Linfu, but also allow them to reach a certain tacit understanding.  To deal with Yang Zhao, this Gao Lishi can still be of great use. With this thought, Ye Chang finally stopped refusing and walked into the courtyard gate in front of Xingqing Hall.
