Li Heng's men were led by Pang Zhong, and finally defeated by the Zuolongwu Army soldiers commanded by Yang Xi, they fled back to the East Palace, closed all the palace doors, and made a final resistance. Yang Xi sent people to persuade him to surrender, but to no avail, he ordered preparations.

Attack the East Palace. But the order has just been issued and the soldiers are preparing

When charging on a ladder, Gao Lishi hurriedly came to announce the decree, saying that as long as the prince opened the door and surrendered, the court would treat him leniently. Seeing that Li Longji still had a soft heart, Yang Xi also immediately stopped the order to prepare for the attack, and ordered the sergeant to send Li Longji's

This edict was shot into the East Palace.

But just when he ordered his sergeants to shoot the edict out of the East Palace, and once again ordered Li Heng and his followers to open the palace gate and surrender, Guo Ziyi brought Li Longji's new decree, announcing that Li Heng would be removed from the crown prince position and demoted to common people.

, the other followers must be severely punished, and Yang Xi was ordered to quickly capture the East Palace. In just a moment, Li Longji came down

Several decisions, several of which were still disagreeable to a large extent, made Yang Xi a little bit dumbfounded. It seems that Li Longji is really old. Not only his body functions have deteriorated, but his thinking ability is also no longer good. Otherwise,

, two edicts with different treatment methods for Li Heng and his followers were issued in a short period of time.

"Instruct all generals to prepare to attack immediately!" Yang Xi once again decisively issued the order to attack the East Palace.

He did not consult Gao Lishi and Guo Ziyi on the side, but made his own decision and ordered the sergeants to launch an attack. He also ordered the sergeants to fight bravely and kill anyone who dared to resist. This made Gao Li Heng, who had a certain intersection with Li Heng,

Lux felt uncomfortable. After Yang Xi gave the order, he couldn't help but remind him:

"Yang Shaojian, your majesty hopes that the prince and his men can surrender voluntarily, and hopes that Yang Shaojian can understand what your majesty really means." He deliberately did not call Yang Xi "Marshal Yang", but only commensurate with his position as a military commander.

There is only one thing, and that is for Yang Xi to know that there are many people with higher status beside him.

Yang Xi originally had a bad impression of Gao Lishi, but now he has received a new order from Li Longji. What he has to do now is to capture the East Palace as soon as possible and eliminate all the rebels. How can he give face to Gao Lishi?

Rejection: "General Gao, thank you for your reminder, but what General Mo has to do now is to quell the rebellion as soon as possible and eliminate all those who participated in the rebellion."

After saying that, he ignored Gao Lishi and ordered again, "Pass this command to speed up the attack and eliminate all rebels who dare to resist. Your Majesty has ordered that Li Heng be removed from the crown prince position, demoted to a commoner, and all those who participated in the rebellion were killed."

There is no one in the official position that we need to take care of. They are all traitors who are plotting chaos and can be eliminated by anyone."

Hearing Yang Xi announcing such an order in public, without caring about his face at all, the muscles on Gao Lishi's face couldn't help but twitch. Yang Xi is too arrogant. He must tell the emperor what happened today. Let the emperor be careful.

The youngest minister in the dynasty, this person is too unruly and rebellious, and may become a serious problem for the Tang Dynasty court in the future.

Seeing Yang Xi openly contradicting Gao Lishi, a popular figure in front of the emperor, Guo Ziyi on the side couldn't help but sigh. He knew why Yang Xi did this. Yang Xi had told him several times before that what he hated most was eunuchs interfering in politics.

,after

We must find a way to remove the eunuchs from the court and never allow them to have another chance to interfere in politics. By openly contradicting Gao Lishi today and not giving face to this powerful eunuch, it is very likely that Yang Xi will start a fight with Gao Lishi.

.

Gao Lishi won the trust of Emperor Li Longji. Although Yang Xi was also favored, his father's status in the court was no worse than that of Gao Lishi, as well as his father-in-law, who was the prime minister. But who would the emperor favor and who would win in the battle?

To gain the upper hand was something no one could have predicted.

But now he can't say anything about Yang Xi, otherwise Yang Xi's prestige will be ruined. Another point is that Pang Zhong is Yang Xi's confidant. No one knows whether Pang Zhong will listen to his orders as the Minister of Military Affairs. Therefore, he also

He chose to remain silent and not express any opinions on Yang Xi's order, which meant that he acquiesced to Yang Xi's attack order and eliminated anyone who dared to resist.

Seeing that Yang Xi, Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, Pang Zhong, Gao Shi and others ignored him, Gao Lishi was furious and walked away.

But no one paid attention to Gao Lishi's departure, because at this time, the soldiers who attacked the East Palace were already attacking fiercely.

How could a ragtag group of defeated soldiers withstand the attack of the high-morale Zuo Longwu Army officers, not to mention the assistance of several elite sergeants from the special operations team in the evening? Soon the palace door was opened, and the soldiers rushed to kill them.

Go in. Know how to fight next

Yang Xi, who had no suspense about the matter, did not rush in with the soldiers, but ordered Pang Zhong to lead his men in personally, and try to capture the ministers and Li Heng who participated in the rebellion, and then hand them over to Li Longji for disposal after the war.

If anyone dares to resist, he will be punished on the spot.

After Pang Zhong received the order, he immediately rushed into the East Palace with his men.

Guo Ziyi, who had never said anything, walked up to Yang Xi and said worriedly: "Ziliang, why don't you give Gao Lishi face like this? He is the most favored person in front of His Majesty. What you do may bring you some trouble."

There will be big trouble. The situation between the DPRK and China is ever-changing, and no one knows who will be unlucky. You have to be careful!"

"Father-in-law, my son-in-law knows, thank you for reminding me," Yang Xi said softly after saluting, "Father-in-law, Li Heng has a close relationship with Gao Lishi, and my son-in-law has a lot of evidence of their close contacts. I believe that

Many witnesses have been arrested now. Gao Lishi has a lot to do with Li Heng's rebellion! My son-in-law will definitely present all the circumstances in front of His Majesty, so that Your Majesty will punish this rootless man."

This was a sudden decision Yang Xi made after thinking about something after Gao Lishi left.

Originally, he didn't want to do it in a hurry, but he knew that Gao Lishi would definitely say something to him in front of Li Longji. He couldn't give Gao Lishi this chance. He must take advantage of Li Heng's rebellion to eliminate Gao Lishi.

Lose.

"Ah?!" Guo Ziyi sighed softly. He didn't expect that Yang Xi had such a purpose and had been collecting evidence during this period. In other words, Yang Xi had been watching the movements of Li Heng and Li Heng's cronies for a long time.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have said that. My worries have lessened a bit.

But he thought of something else, and the worry that had just subsided started again. He couldn't help but ask Yang Xi: "Ziliang, if His Majesty knew that you had been monitoring these people, and even monitored Gao Lishi, His Majesty's personal eunuch, wouldn't you

Are you worried that His Majesty will suspect you?"

Yang Xi was stunned for a moment, and understood what Guo Ziyi was referring to. He immediately smiled and said: "Father-in-law, if all this was confessed by the captured people, then His Majesty would definitely not think so. Gao Lishi,

Li Fuguo and Yu Chaoen are both evil villains who are full of evil. Originally, they had no qualifications to interfere in major affairs of the government. Now that they have intervened, let them taste the bitter wine they brewed. "

Hearing what Yang Xi said, Guo Ziyi also suddenly understood, said nothing more, stroked his beard and laughed.

After Pang Zhong commanded his troops to attack the East Palace, the war was almost over.

There were less than 2,000 rebel soldiers who retreated to the East Palace. After the East Palace gate was attacked, most of the 2,000 people gave up resistance and chose to surrender. Only those guarding Li Heng, Xiao Hua, Du Hongjian and others

The sergeants who retreated to Chongwen Hall continued to resist.

These are the die-hard personnel around Li Heng. In order to protect Li Heng's safety, they do not care about their own lives at all.

In the end, these people were shot to the ground one by one by the elite sergeants of the special operations team, either dead or wounded. Blood flowed into the Chongwen Hall. After eliminating the last resisters, the special operations team withdrew from the battlefield.

It soon disappeared without a trace.

They made a huge contribution in this major operation, and there is no need for them to appear again.

The men and horses commanded by Pang Zhong surrounded Chongwen Hall. All the doors and windows were opened, and there were sergeants everywhere with their bows and arrows ready to shoot.

The rebel participants were crowded together in the hall. Many people were so frightened that they collapsed on the ground, and some were even so frightened that they peed.

Just kidding, they saw the resisting sergeants being shot one after another. The corpses were still piled up everywhere in the palace, full of blood, and the palace was full of murderous sergeants. Under such circumstances, there are still people who can remain calm. How about the Master?

The mood is too extraordinary.

Li Hengqiang sat calmly in the hall, closing his eyes tightly and not looking at anyone. His heart was filled with despair, knowing that everything was over, and what awaited him was a fate that he had expected but dared not believe.

Because of the emergency, Li Heng's concubines and his sons and daughters were not here. They were in another hall and were controlled by the sergeants who invaded the palace. The situation was similar to that in Chongwen Hall, and they were all besieged in other halls.

After Pang Zhong controlled the situation in the East Palace, he immediately sent people to invite Yang Xi, Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi and others.

After hearing the report that Pang Zhong sent people over, Yang Xi, who was whispering to Guo Ziyi, immediately called on everyone to go into the East Palace together.

The pungent smell of blood could be heard from afar in Chongwen Hall. When he walked to Chongwen Hall with Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, Gao Shi and others, Yang Xi ordered General Pang Zhong to retreat with their bows and arrows in a threatening manner.

The bodies of the guard soldiers who died in the palace were pulled down.

After the sergeants cleared away the corpses very quickly, Yang Xi followed Guo Ziyi into the hall.

"Li Heng, this is His Majesty's new edict. You will be removed from your position as crown prince and deposed as a commoner!" Guo Ziyi unfolded Li Longji's latest edict and threw it in front of Li Heng, who was sitting with his eyes closed.

"Come here, arrest Li Heng and all the rebels here quickly!" Yang Xi followed Guo Ziyi and gave the order, and then ordered Pang Zhong, "General Pang, arrest everyone in the East Palace and take them all out.

If you go to the palace, you are not allowed to let anyone go, which is a violation of military law. And immediately clean up the corpses and blood stains in the East Palace. You will personally lead the people to guard the East Palace and wait for His Majesty's latest order."

"Yes, Marshal Yang." After Pang Zhong accepted the order, he immediately ordered his sergeants to arrest Li Heng, who was sitting motionless, as well as Li Heng's cronies, who looked ashen and behaved in different ways.

Some screamed, roared, and cursed, some whimpered, and some were too frightened to say anything.

Yang Xi didn't let anyone bring Li Heng in front of him. He didn't want to face Li Heng face to face with a victor's attitude.
