¡ª¡ª    Yang Xi did not return home that night. He personally took command in the Zuolong Wuwei camp.  In fact, he has not returned home for several days. He has been in the palace or Longwuwei camp these days. A mutiny may happen at any time. He does not dare to slack off at all. He must make decisions at any time according to the development of the situation.  deployment.  Although the approximate time of Li Lin's action has been found, no one can guarantee whether there will be any accidents and whether the action will be advanced or delayed. Therefore, Yang Xi must listen to the situation at any time to facilitate deployment.  Other trusted figures under his command, including Li Mi, Gao Shi, Pang Zhong, Hun Yan, Pugu Huai'en and others, also stayed in the places they were responsible for, ready to take orders at any time.  And the whereabouts must be kept secret, and no trace of them can be leaked out.  All members of the special operations team have also entered the highest alert state. They are distributed throughout Chang'an City, delivering intelligence and participating in operations at any time.  "His Royal Highness, have you decided when we will take action?" Gao Shi, who had been staying with Yang Xi, was a little out of sorts and couldn't help but ask.  Because Li Bin had recognized Yang Xi as his son in the court, in the eyes of everyone in the court, Yang Xi became Li Xi, and the title naturally changed.  Li Mi also stayed aside, but he didn't say much these days. He only said a few words when Yang Xi asked him.  On special occasions, he didn't dare to show off too well for fear of getting into trouble later.  ¡°But when Gao Shi asked this question, he couldn¡¯t help but look at Yang Xi, who had been reading a book.  Yang Xi's heart moved. Although he had already thought about the best time to intervene, it was not good for him to take the initiative to speak out about such a matter. It would be better for someone nearby to suggest it, so that he would not appear cruel.  And although this matter has been discussed, there is no final conclusion.  "You two, when do you think we should take action?" Yang Xi asked Li Mi and Gao Shi with a smile.  Gao Shi thought about it and hesitated for a while.  Then he whispered: "I think the best time for us to take action is when King Yong's troops and those loyal to His Majesty are fighting to the death. It would be best if His Majesty's troops are exhausted, King Yong has the upper hand, and His Majesty is defeated by others.  Control, or be killed by" After saying this, Gao Shi felt that he was cruel.  They had discussed this issue before, but they had not reached a final conclusion. Yang Xi didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and he didn't tell them clearly.  This made Gao Shi very anxious, and he couldn't help asking today.  When Yang Xi asked back, he directly explained what he meant.  Yang Xi didn¡¯t comment, just looked at Li Mi who was speechless.  Li Mi knew that he could not remain indifferent, so he had no choice but to speak: "Gao Shangshu said it right, the best time for His Royal Highness King Zhong to take action is now, so that you will be the hero of quelling King Yong's rebellion, and you can naturally continue to the throne.  If the emperor's power prevails, even if King Yong's rebellion is finally suppressed and you stand on the emperor's behalf, no one knows how it will change. I believe that His Majesty is now thinking of ways to eliminate it.  Your power. You can't wait until that time." Yang Xi looked at the two men and finally nodded, "Your opinions are very reasonable, I agree!" Li Shimin killed his brother and his brother.  Although forcing his father to abdicate was widely criticized by historians, this did not affect his historical status.  Under his rule, the Tang Dynasty gradually prospered, created the "Government of Zhenguan" praised by historians, and became a wise king respected by thousands of people.  What Yang Xi wants to do now is not to kill anyone with his own hands. He is just taking advantage of Li Lin's rebellion to take advantage of others. The crime is much smaller than that of Li Shimin, and it is similar to Li Longji's coming to power through a coup.  Even if the world knows this about Xiang Shi, as long as he governs the Tang Dynasty well and creates an era more prosperous than the "Reign of Zhenguan" and the "Song of Kaiyuan", benefiting the people all over the world, then the world will remember him.  Facing his good deeds, his sins are slowly forgotten.  The two right confidants said this, and Yang Xi became more determined. What's more, except for a little unnecessary blood relationship between him and Li Bin, there was nothing to maintain family ties. The relationship between the two was far less than that of Li Bin.  between Yang Guozhong.  Even if you are cruel, you will not feel very guilty in your heart.  Li Mi and Gao Shi didn't know what Yang Xi was thinking. They also didn't know that Yang Xi, the man who was preparing to ascend the throne of God, did not originally belong to their era, and his thoughts were completely different from theirs.  Li Mi knew that after Yang Xi ascended the throne, he, Gao Shi and other meritorious ministers must retire, otherwise they would probably be removed by Yang Xi through various means.  Although Yang Xi is very different, no one can predict how his temperament will change after becoming the emperor. Leaving is the best choice.  But if Li Mi knew what Yang Xi was thinking now, he wouldn't think so. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?p;On the second night after Yang Xi, Li Mi, and Gao Shi decided on the final time and plan for action, the mutiny planned by Li Lin began.  Because of the intervention of the special operations team, Emperor Li Bin was not aware of the news that Li Lin was about to launch a mutiny, and did not take much precautions.  However, because I had felt something strange before, I also strengthened the defense in the palace.  At the beginning of the month, there was no moon in the sky, and it was pitch black wherever there was no light.  It was already after midnight, and the curfew in Chang'an City had already started. Except for some chirping of birds and insects, there was no other sound in the entire Chang'an City.  The situation in the palace was similar. Apart from the occasional Imperial Army soldiers passing by in neat rows, there was not much movement.  But in this silence, groups of Forbidden Army soldiers were gathering in the Chongxuan Gate on the outermost side of the Daming Palace.  They didn't have torches and tried not to make much noise, so they didn't cause much noise.  This is the defensive line guarded by Zuo Yulin's army. General Liang Cheng, the commander of Zuo Yulin's army, has assembled all 800 sergeants under his command to prepare for a long-planned mutiny.  The 700 men and horses led by Li Bao had also gathered near Mingyintai Gate and quietly drove towards Xuanwu Gate, preparing to act together with Liang Cheng's troops.  Soon, more than a thousand people from the two armies gathered together. After all, they were the elite Forbidden Army troops of the Tang Dynasty. The actions of more than a thousand people did not make much noise, and they were not discovered by other Forbidden Army officers patrolling the city wall.  Of course Li Lin was also on the list, but he was still staying on the gate tower of Chongxuan Gate, preparing to call or attack Xuanwu Gate and then lead his private soldiers to join the battle in an effort to control the palace as soon as possible.  After quietly bringing the team to the vicinity of Xuanwu Gate, Liang Cheng, as the general planner of the operation, ordered all the Forbidden Army sergeants under his command to hide in the darkness, and then led a few soldiers to the Xuanwu Gate tower and shouted loudly.  Calling out the name of General Wu Wei, the chief guard of the Xuanwu Gate Tower tonight: "Wu Wei, General Wu Lang, I am Liang Cheng. I just received an order from General Cheng to discuss something with you. The matter is urgent.  "Hurry up and open the door." After calling several times, there was movement on the city gate tower, and the torches were lit. General Wu Wei stuck his head out, and after asking a few questions, he hesitated, no doubt that something was wrong.  After a while, he opened the city gate illegally and prepared to let Liang Cheng into the gate tower to discuss matters.  According to the regulations of the palace, the guards at each city gate tower are absolutely not allowed to visit at night, unless there are special circumstances.  Generally, special orders are required under special circumstances, and a warrant from a special person is required.  Of course, this special person is the emperor himself. Without the order of the emperor himself, this is generally not allowed.  However, Wu Wei was afraid of being punished by his superiors, and Liang Cheng had a higher military position than him. Hearing that he had been given an order to discuss matters with him, he did not dare to delay and quietly opened the city gate.  Just as the Xuanwu Gate creaked open, Liang Cheng and several guards around him rushed in quickly, drew their swords, and chopped down several Forbidden Army soldiers who opened the gate to the ground, and this  At that moment, more than a thousand Forbidden Army soldiers who were lurking not far away from them rushed towards Xuanwu Gate as fast as the tide after making loud shouts of killing.  Wu Wei who was on the city gate tower was stunned. He reacted after being stunned for a moment and immediately ordered the city gate tower to be closed.  But it was already too late. All the guards inside the city gate had been chopped down to the ground by Liang Cheng and others. When the sergeants on the city gate tower rushed down to close the city gate, they shouted at the sergeant Zuo Yulin who rushed in.  They had already rushed into the city gate cave and quickly rushed into the city gate, one heading towards the palace and the other heading towards the city gate tower to attack.  Wu Wei, who was panicking at the top of the city and commanding his sergeants to fight back, was hit in the face by an arrow from an unknown place. He screamed and fell from the city gate tower, dying.  Without the command of the general, the sergeants became even more chaotic, running around everywhere, and some even fell off the tall city wall.  Liang Cheng led the soldiers of Zuo Yulin Army under his command and did not attack the city gate tower, but went directly to the depths of the palace.  Li Bao's men rushed to the city wall, killing the sergeants on the wall or forcing them to surrender.  Because Wu Weiji died, Li Bao soon took control of the entire Xuanwu Sect.  Li Lin was overjoyed to see such smooth progress at Chongxuan Gate. He immediately led hundreds of his guards down from Chongxuan Gate, followed Liang Cheng into the Daming Palace, and went straight to the Jinluan Palace where Emperor Li Bin lived.  go.  The maids and eunuchs in the Daming Palace had already fallen asleep. Many people were awakened by shouts and footsteps in their sleep, but they didn't know what was going on. Some people came out to look around in their clothes, but they immediately felt something was wrong and went back into the house.  They were running wildly everywhere, and many unlucky people lost their lives quickly.  However, the troops led by Liang Cheng encountered resistance again. They were the left and right Qianniu Guards sergeants patrolling the palace.  However, there were not many Qianniu Guards sergeants on the left and right, and their combat effectiveness could not be compared with that of the Yulin Army on the left and right. Soon, dozens of Qianniu Guards sergeants died in the palace.  Li Lin led the soldiers of the Yulin Army and quickly rushed to the Jinluan Hall where Li Bin lived, and many torches were lit., lighting up most of the Daming Palace.  At this time, there was already panic in the Jinluan Palace.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
