Five hundred and seventeenth chapter benevolence to justice

Gao Lishi looked sad, stood aside and watched Yang Guifei laughing out of control, quietly waiting for her to vent.

As a bystander, Gao Lishi knew very well that the fate of husband and wife between Li Longji and Yang Guifei might not be able to continue in this life. Regardless of whether Yang Guifei was alive or dead, the fate of the two had come to an end.

At this moment, Yang Guifei was laughing at her fate in this life, her former vows and her relationship with her husband and wife who was as old as a new person.

I don’t know how long I laughed, but Yang Guifei was so tired that she lost her strength and tears still couldn’t stop flowing.

The laughter gradually stopped, Yang Guifei panted and collapsed on the ground, hanging her head and wondering what she was thinking.

Gao Lishi then softly advised: "Can the Empress go to the front hall with the old slave? Gu Qing is waiting to pay homage to the Empress?"

Concubine Yang nodded, got up and tidyed her clothes and hair, and followed Gao Lishi out of the door in silence.

When he arrived at the front hall, Li Longji came up first and held her hand in surprise. Her hands were cold and weak, like a piece of ice-skinned and jade bone taken out of the ice cellar.

"My wife, madam! You don't have to die. Gu Qing is loyal to me and leads his army to rescue you. I will grow old together with you."

Concubine Yang trembled slightly and subconsciously pulled back the hand that Li Longji held.

Li Longji was stunned. Knowing that before Gu Qing rescued her, she really hurt her heart, so she sighed guiltily and took a step back silently.

Yang Guifei looked at Gu Qing, and saw Gu Qing smiling and looking at her elegantly, Yang Guifei's tears flowed down again, and she stepped forward and took the initiative to salute Gu Qingying.

"Gu Qing, I will never thank you for your kindness."

Yang Guifei said only this sentence and quietly stepped back, but her expression was a little firm, as if it had decided something.

Gu Qing replied, "Empress, I'm sorry, and everything I do is to do."

The mutiny of the Imperial Guard has not stopped yet, and everyone is very anxious. Li Longji said in a deep voice: "Gu Qing, do you have a solution to the mutiny of the Imperial Guard?"

Gu Qing whispered: "Your Majesty, I think that Chen Xuanli, the Imperial Guard Longwu, cannot be blamed."

Li Longji sighed and said, "Chen Xuanli..."

"Chen Xuanli led the imperial guards. He did not observe before the mutiny, and did not stop after the mutiny. Instead, he responded to the unreasonable request of the imperial guards and forced the emperor to do something he did not want to do. I think Chen Xuanli should be killed."

Li Longji's sneer changed: "Behead Chen Xuanli..."

Chen Xuanli, who had been standing quietly in the hall, also heard it and immediately said anxiously: "Your Majesty, I am not convinced! In order to protect Your Majesty, I have been persuading you between Your Majesty and the Imperial Guards, so as not to lose control of the situation. I am not guilty!"

Gu Qing turned around and stared at him and said coldly: "Chen Xuanli, as the commander of the imperial guards, you are ignorant of the thoughts of the imperial guards under your command. After the incident, you only care about pretending to be a good person in the middle and mixing with each other. The situation turned into a mess, and eventually led to an irreversible result tonight. Are you embarrassed to say that you are innocent?"

Chen Xuanli said angrily: "Gu Qing, you are just the governor of Anxi. What qualifications are you to kill the generals of the Imperial Army?"

Gu Qing sneered: "Of course I am not qualified. I just suggest that Your Majesty kill you. If a general like you is in my Anxi army, a hundred heads will not be enough to cut."

Seeing the two quarreling, Li Longji said in a dilemma: "Gu Qing, Chen Xuanli also has difficulties. I can understand that the most urgent task at this time is how to suppress the mutiny of the imperial guards. Can Gu Qing have a solution?"

Gu Qing said calmly: "In fact, my method is very simple. I pushed Chen Xuanli out, beheaded in front of the imperial guards, and then imprisoned all the generals of the imperial guards and interrogated them separately, asking who was instructing mutiny behind the scenes, and then making clear the justice of the imperial guards in public and telling the imperial guards that they were incited by those who were interested, and finally gave them land and money, so that the mutiny tonight could be suppressed."

Li Longji sighed. In fact, he had known who was instructing him behind his back, but the situation was uncontrollable. The rebels occupied Guanzhong and the whole country was fighting the rebellion. Only these 20,000 imperial guards could be used by Li Longji. Now even the imperial guards have mutinyed. Li Longji has become a lonely man. How dare he listen to Gu Qing's advice and do such a risky and radical move.

Seeing Li Longji's expression of struggle and hesitation, Gu Qing sighed inwardly.

Emperor Minghuang of Tang was really based on the solid imperial power. Once the imperial power was unstable, he completely lost the courage to make decisions and became an indecisive and weak emperor.

The emperor's aura is exhausted, and he can't even save him.

Judging from Li Longji's expression, it was obvious that he did not intend to adopt Gu Qing's advice.

Gu Qing smiled.

He had done his best to Li Longji, and he only said anything once. If he did not accept it, Gu Qing would never kneel in front of him like other ministers and cried and kowtowed. It was too cheap, even cheaper than selling the first night.

The last time I met Li Longji was before Gu Qing regained his original position as Jiedushi. Tonight the momentum of the monarch and ministers increased and decreased. Gu Qing had a sharper edge than before. In the past, Gu Qing deliberately hid his edge. Tonight he no longer wanted to hide because there was no need.

Turning his head to look at Chen Xuanli, Gu Qing sneered: "General Chen, what do you say about this mess now?"

Chen Xuanli felt cold. He understood what Gu Qing meant. If he couldn't solve the problem, then Gu Qing's next sentence might be to kill him in front of the emperor.

Chen Xuanli knew from beginning to end that the Imperial Army mutiny was a conspiracy, and he even participated in it personally.

At this time, Yang Guozhong was dead, and the prince's purpose had basically been achieved. It was irrelevant whether Yang Guifei died or not. Anxi Army suddenly appeared and disrupted the prince's chess game. Anyone with a little rationality should know that the chess game was in chaos. The game should be ended in time, otherwise there would be a big disaster.

So Chen Xuanli gritted his teeth, knelt down to Li Longji, and said, "The last general... is willing to suppress the imperial guards for His Majesty and end this mutiny."

Li Longji stared at Chen Xuanli, showing a complex look.

Tonight's mutiny has a complex relationship with court officials, generals, the prince of the East Palace and even the commander of the border army. Li Longji even faintly noticed that there might be some kind of transaction between Chen Xuanli and the prince of the East Palace. Seeing that Chen Xuanli so happily promised to suppress the mutiny at this moment, Li Longji had almost confirmed that this matter was inseparable from Chen Xuanli.

Li Longji did not say anything, but Gu Qing turned to salute him and said, "Your Majesty, the mutiny of the imperial guards is that the imperial concubine is not dead and cannot do what they want. I want to lead the army to protect the imperial concubine from leaving the emperor's camp and send her to a safe place. When the court quells the rebellion in the future, Your Majesty and the imperial concubine will reunite. What does Your Majesty think?"

When Li Longji was stunned, the first thing he cared about was not Yang Guifei's stay or stay, but Gu Qing's stay or stay.

"If you and the Anxi Army leave, who will protect me?" Li Longji blurted out.

Gu Qing smiled and said, "If Your Majesty hopes that the Anxi Army will stay, then I and the Anxi Army will stay."

Li Longji trembled all over and woke up instantly.

From the moment Gu Qing appeared to this night, Li Longji found that he showed his sharpness, sharp words and imposing momentum. He even said disrespectful to the emperor as soon as he met. Although he was trying to save Yang Guifei at that time, Gu Qing's impolite tone was still deeply remembered by Li Longji.

At this time, Gu Qing was loyal or traitor?

This question couldn't help but arise in Li Longji's mind.

If it is a traitor, then wouldn’t Gu Qing’s Anxi Army stay behind drive away wolves in the front door and welcome tigers in the back door?

In contrast, the Anxi Army is more difficult to deal with than the imperial guards outside. If Gu Qing had a slightest thought, Li Longji would be like Emperor Xian of Han who was bullied by Dong Zhuo. From then on, he was controlled by powerful ministers. Not only did he lose the authority of the emperor, he would not be free in his life, but he also had to rely on the treacherous ministers to seek survival.

Thinking of this, Li Longji had a cold war and looked at Gu Qing with an incorrect look.

When the imperial guards mutiny, at least the emperor and the imperial guards can still be discussed and some conditions are to compromise. But if Gu Qing is ill-intentioned, it is not something that can be negotiated. If the Anxi army takes the imperial guards and replaces them and controls the power of the imperial guards in the palace, in theory, Gu Qing wants to put him as the emperor in any position, Li Longji has to obey the orders.

Li Longji, who was very suspicious, immediately made a choice, and the Anxi Army must not stay by his side.

Gu Qing is no longer Gu Qing of that time. He already has the power of a hero, but Li Longji is helpless at the moment and can only let him leave. After the rebellion is pacified and the emperor returns to power, he will slowly cut off Gu Qing's power.

Once upon a time, the trembling young boy back then has now become a powerful minister, and at this moment he can even easily overthrow the emperor.

There was An Lushan before, and now there was another Gu Qing. The more Li Longji thought about it, the more desperate he became. After quelling the rebellion, would the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty still be the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty?

Seeing Li Longji silent for a long time, Gu Qing couldn't help but curiously said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"

Li Longji came to his senses and squeezed out a smile: "Preventing the rebellion is the most important thing, and the mutiny of the imperial guards can be settled in a flash. Gu Qing should take the Anxi army away, don't lose the big picture because of a small amount."

Gu Qing smiled and said, "Yes, I will take the imperial concubine and the soldiers of the Anxi army to leave. As for the imperial guards, I believe General Chen is sure to suppress the bullet."

When Yang Guifei heard Gu Qing say she wanted to take her away, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then glanced at Gu Qing with gratitude.

After his love for his lover was ashamed, Yang Guifei was eager to leave this luxurious and ruthless cage.

As soon as everyone agreed, a fierce roar came from outside the station.

"Yang Yuhuan will not give up until he dies!"

"Kill Yang Yuhuan!"

"The emperor was deceived by the treacherous minister and the demon concubine. The imperial guards are willing to eliminate the thieves for the emperor to correct the country!"

A roar like a sea of ​​anger came, and the monarch and ministers in the front hall suddenly changed their expressions, and Yang Guifei was even more scared and trembled. Although she was not afraid of death, she was afraid of this fear that was pointed by thousands of people.

Li Longji was also frightened and looked at Gu Qing and Chen Xuanli for help.

Chen Xuanli gritted his teeth and said, "I will go out and dissuade the soldiers of the imperial guards..."

But Gu Qing shook his head and stopped him: "Don't worry, just begging and seeking everything will only make others more and more aggressive. Give them some lessons first and then negotiate terms. General Chen will be much more relaxed."

As he said that, Gu Qing bowed to Li Longji and said, "Before I left, I will be able to handle the situation of Your Majesty, and the next thing will be easier."

Then Gu Qing signaled to Concubine Yang, and Concubine Yang stood beside Gu Qing without hesitation.
