Li Yizhi looked at the peaceful Yang Guang. He quickly walked forward and bowed: "Your Majesty, the humble minister arrived too late to save you, and your Majesty was frightened. It is really a capital crime!"
"Li Aiqing had a meritorious service in rescuing the enemy, so what's the crime? The ones who are guilty are the Imperial Guards and Yu Wenhuaji!"
Yang Guang was furious, and he said angrily: "Trash, they are all trash. There are tens of thousands of forbidden troops inside and outside my palace, but a group of thieves broke in and almost killed me. And Yu Wenji,
He is the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard, but he has not shown up yet. He has neglected his duties, and I will chop off his head!"
Tonight's assassination really scared Yang Guang.
If Li Yizhi hadn't arrived in time, he would have finished playing.
Thinking of this, he asked doubtfully: "By the way, Li Aiqing, why did you come here?"
After all, he was a man of great talent and strategy. Although Yang Guang didn't care why Li Yizhi hid his martial arts, but he just happened to come to his rescue, it is worth considering.
After all, even Yu Wenhuaji didn't get the news about tonight's assassination, otherwise Yu Wenhuaji would not dare to leave the palace.
Yang Guang did not doubt that Li Yizhi and the rebels were a group. What he doubted was whether Li Yizhi had received the news in advance!
If the news was received in advance, then Li Yizhi arrived 'in time', then it would be really ulterior motives.
Li Yizhi's heart trembled. He thought quickly and bowed: "Your Majesty, for the safety of the palace, all the ministers in the fifty-mile radius of Yangzhou have sent people to patrol at night. There are many rebels tonight, and those who happened to be patrolled
People discovered it, and Wei Chen rushed over after receiving the news."
He didn't lie to Yang Guang about this patrol.
However, Li Yizhi ordered people to patrol not for Yang Guang's safety, but for the common people to prevent those martial arts masters from looting the village.
After all, during this period, too many warriors poured into Yangzhou.
"Li Aiqing is still loyal and silently protects the safety of the palace."
When Yang Guang heard this, he couldn't help but be moved.
He knew that Li Yizhi would not lie about this kind of thing, after all, he would know it once he checked.
Especially when I saw Li Yizhi covered in blood, with dozens of wounds at first glance, I was even more moved. He was such a good minister.
Facing the siege of twelve innate masters, even if Li Yizhi was able to suppress them, he would still be injured.
However, these injuries were all superficial injuries, and the wounds had basically healed.
Just when Yang Guang was moved, Dugu Sheng, covered in blood, walked over quickly and reported: "Your Majesty, except for some rebels who escaped and the fifteen captives, all others have been killed."
Yang Guang's expression changed and he shouted angrily: "What's the use of taking prisoners? I'll kill them all and divide them into quarters!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Dugu Sheng said hurriedly, and then people went to carry out the execution.
Not long after, as the war horses neighed, screams continued to be heard from outside the palace, and it took a long time to calm down.
Perhaps the execution of fifteen rebels made Yang Guang vent a lot of anger. He said: "General Dugu, you will finish the rest. Li Aiqing, you will stay in the palace tonight and go to court tomorrow.
.”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Okay, I'm tired, you all can go down."
…………
At the same time, the dispute over the account books on board the Dongming also came to an end.
In this battle, each party dispatched dozens of innate masters, but each party was almost evenly matched, so it was relatively more fierce.
But in the end, with Shilong's intervention, the account books were divided between the Li clan and the Dugu clan.
As for Yuwen Clan, not only did they gain nothing, they also lost a lot of good players, and even Yuwen Wudi was seriously injured. It can be said that stealing chickens and losing rice.
…………
Although the moonlight is quiet, a storm has swept through Yangzhou City.
One by one, well-informed people got the news.
Yu Shiji, Pei Yun and others were so frightened that they jumped up from the bed, covered in cold sweat.
Not to mention Yu Wenji, after receiving the news, he was like a thunderbolt, and his face turned pale.
The moon sets and the sun rises, another day begins.
Jiangdu Palace and Dezheng Palace.
Yang Guang rarely summoned the ministers to discuss matters, but in fact, the ministers had already learned the news last night, and they all stood outside the palace in fear.
Especially Yu Wenhuaji's face was even more ugly, as if he had been painted with a layer of black paint.
His heart was cold and he felt cold all over.
The reason for being cold was not actually worried about Yang Guang's questioning, but the account books.
For those who rebelled against thieves last night, at most they would be punished or even dismissed from office, but their lives would not be in danger.
But once the account books were delivered to Yang Guang by someone who wanted to do so, he would have no other choice but to rebel.
But starting a rebellion was not easy, because with Yuchi Sheng's death, he had lost control of the 50,000 Yangzhou army.
As for infiltrating the Xiaoguo Army, although Sima Dekan helped, he actually did not win many generals.
Therefore, if you raise an army, you will fail if you do not do well, but the consequences of failure will naturally be death!
At this time, Yu Wenhuaji saw Li Yizhi and Yu Shijiji coming together. The three of them were talking and laughing, which made him feel murderous intent.
There has never been such a moment when Yu Wenhuaji wanted to kill someone!
Since the appearance of Li Yizhi, many of his plans have continued to fail, and none of them have succeeded. This person seems to be his nemesis.
If Li Yizhi hadn't appeared yesterday, maybe Yang Guang would have been killed.
Then with the support of Sima Dekan, he is confident to control the Xiaoguo Army, and he does not even have to bear the charge of regicide and rebellion.
"If I had known this, I should have killed him at all costs!"
Yu Wenhuaji clenched his fists tightly, his nails dug into his flesh, and drops of blood seeped out, but he was completely unaware of it.
Li Yizhi noticed Yu Wenhuaji's cold gaze, he smiled lightly and didn't take it to heart.
At this time, Yu Wenji was like a desperate lone wolf with no way out. He had no choice but to rush into rebellion and there was no time to deal with him.
Yu Shiji and Pei Yun also noticed Yu Wenji, and they felt happy.
The first time they got the news last night, they were almost frightened, but after understanding what happened, they became more active and excited.
This is an excellent opportunity for them to attack Yu Wenji.
Besides, Li Yizhi was recommended by them. Now that he had saved the driver, they also had the merit of knowing people well in front of Yang Guang.
Yu Shiji said with a smile: "Yizhi, let's wait and see in court. This Yu Wenhuaji will definitely be severely punished by the emperor, and maybe even his head will fall to the ground."
Pei Yun stroked his beard and smiled, nodded and said: "If we can really seize this opportunity and get rid of Yu Wenhuaji, then we will have the final say in this court."
"Then I would like to congratulate the two superior officers first!"
Li Yizhi pretended to congratulate, but secretly shook his head in his heart.
These two people still don't know that they are already on the verge of death.
If Yu Wenhuaji really rebelled, even if Yu Wenhuaji didn't kill them, Li Yizhi would take advantage of the chaos and kill them so as to control the situation of the court.
His mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about the next situation.
Once the Yuwen family raises troops, how should he respond so as to gain the greatest harvest?
At this time, a eunuch came out of the palace and shouted in a sharp voice:
"Hundred officials enter the palace!"
After hearing this, all the officials walked into the hall in an orderly manner according to their official ranks.
