Menxia Province, Zhengshi Hall.

This subordinate department is responsible for reviewing edicts, signing memorials, and has the power to refute. All the emperor's orders must go through here according to the process. For convenience, the emperor habitually convenes everyone here for a meeting, makes decisions on the spot, and then

Sign the edict, issue it, and execute it.

So over time, this place became the place where important officials from the three provinces of the imperial court held joint meetings.

Pei Ji was given a residence in Xingdaofang, which was located next to Zhuque Gate, so Pei Ji came the fastest.

There was an urgent summons from the palace. Everyone thought it was something important, so they didn't dare to delay and came in a hurry.

When Pei Ji walked into the political hall, he saw Li Youliang sitting at the top of the political hall holding a horizontal sword and a big golden sword, and this is where the emperor usually can sit.

Although the emperor was not always present, it became a rule that the emperor's place was initially there.

Later, Li Yuan entered Guanzhong. Although he had the same power as the emperor, because he did not really usurp the throne and took into account the timing, he would leave a position for the emperor.

But what Li Youliang did today was a huge trespass.

Pei Ji immediately said: "Mr. Changle, that is not your place to sit. You have overstepped your bounds."

When Li Youliang heard this, he couldn't help laughing "haha".

"Pei Ji, you are blind. If you overstep, the whole city of Chang'an belongs to me. What's wrong with me if I overstep."

When Pei Ji heard this, he was shocked and pale.

Li Youliang walked up to Pei Ji with a knife in hand and said viciously: "Old man, I dedicated the city of Chang'an to Duke Wei. From today on, I'm rebelling! I'm rebelling!"

Pei Ji even looked horrified.

"Li Shuliang, you are crazy. You are a relative of the Tang Dynasty and an important minister of the country. You are trying to kill the Li family!"

"I'm not crazy, you are the ones who are crazy."

Li Youliang pointed at Pei Ji and said: "Li Shude wants to be emperor, does he have this destiny? Did the emperor of the Sui Dynasty treat him badly? Did Duke Wei treat him badly? But Li Shude, a white-eyed wolf who is not well-bred, turned his back on the emperor.

Conspiracy to rebel and cause trouble in Guanzhong is an unpardonable crime.

Nowadays, the imperial army is pressing down on the country, Li Shude has been defeated repeatedly, and his destruction is imminent. Do you think it was me who harmed the Li family, or Li Shude, who harmed the Li family?

It doesn't matter if Li Shude dies, but he can't bring the entire Li family to be buried with him.

My main purpose this time is to get rid of the traitor Li Shude for the Li family."

Pei Ji was trembling with shock and anger, pointing at Li Youliang, speechless.

Li Youliang didn't want to talk nonsense to Pei Ji, so he just asked people to drag him down. In fact, Li Youliang could recruit Pei Ji to surrender, and Pei Ji was not a tough person, but Li Youliang just didn't want to.

In Li Youliang's view, Pei Ji was very scheming and his surname was Pei. Once he surrendered and got involved in the matter, he might be able to take the credit.

Li Youliang is vicious and greedy.

If Pei Ji's status wasn't too high for him to deal with rashly, Li Youliang would have chopped off Pei Ji's head.

Pei Ji was the first to arrive, so he was captured first.

Later, Xiao Yu and Li Gang also arrived one after another, and they were both captured.

In fact, just after entering the Zhuque Gate, the two of them had already discovered that there was chaos in the city and problems inside and outside the palace gate, so they wanted to get away immediately. However, the defenders did not allow them to leave at all, and pushed and pulled him to the lower province of the gate.

The two men's official positions in Li Tang may not be as good as Pei Ji's, but their identities are quite special. Xiao Yu is the younger brother of Empress Xiao and was the prime minister during Yang Guang's period; while Li Gang is a well-educated scholar and well-known in the country. In terms of background and reputation,

The two of them are far taller than Pei Ji.

So Li Youliang was quite polite to the two of them.

Of course that's all.

The two were brought in front of Li Youliang, and both of them glared at Li Youliang.

After all, in the eyes of the two of them, no matter who surrendered, it should not be Li Youliang.

So Xiao Yu asked sternly: "Li Youliang, you can be regarded as a relative of the Li family. Because of the king of Tang, you suddenly became prominent and became an important minister of the country because of your white body. You don't care about the kindness of the king of Tang, but betray the family. What face will you have in the future?"

Going to meet the ancestors of your Li family?"

Li Youliang is not a person who cares about these things.

Therefore, Xiao Yu's stern rebuke did not make Li Youliang feel guilty, but instead made him feel contempt.

Give you face.

"Xiao Shiwen (characterized by Xiao Yu), no one is qualified to speak against me, but you are not. What are you? Others don't know, but I don't know either. If the Xiao family hadn't produced a queen, a group of people would have subjugated their country.

My family has been confiscated and my clan has been exterminated a long time ago. You, Xiao Shiwen, are what you are today because of Yang Guang, but you just don't care about the king's kindness and instead surrender to the traitor Li Yuan. What do you mean, but you have the nerve to meet Yang Guang?"

Xiao Yu was trembling after being scolded by Li Youliang. Before Li Tang came clean, his biggest black spot was that he betrayed his sister and brother-in-law, but his current status depends entirely on these two people.

If it weren't for Li Gang's support, Xiao Yu would have fallen to the ground.

Li Youliang didn't care about Xiao Yu and Li Gang's expressions and walked straight away. Someone had already stepped forward and took Xiao Yu and Li Gang away.

When Li Youliang came out of the political hall, the eldest son Sun Chang happened to be here too.

Both actions went very smoothly.

At this time, Changsun Chang said: "My lord, everything inside and outside Chang'an City has been controlled. As long as our army maintains stability in the city, we can wait for the Sui army to come and take over the city."

Li Youliang interrupted: "Xiu Ming, you can no longer be called the Duke of the County from now on."

Changsun Chang quickly said: "It's Mr. Hou!"

Li Youliang was made to laugh by Chang Sun Chang's words.

"Xiu Ming, Xiu Ming, let me tell you what you are good at."

Even though he said this, Li Youliang couldn't help but laugh happily.

"Xiu Ming, this matter has not yet been determined. Don't yell in front of outsiders, lest people laugh."

"Don't worry, Mr. Hou, Xiu Ming will remember it."

After occupying Chang'an City, Li Youliang was also very proud at this time.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Li Youliang asked: "Is the resistance in the city fierce?"

Changsun Chang nodded.

"I led the army to seize key places in the city, and encountered strong resistance from Zhao Cijing's army. The two sides fought fiercely for a long time. It was not very smooth for the other troops to occupy the city gates. Fortunately, the opponent was dispersed, and our army defeated the few with numbers and fought.

It went well."

"What about the families in the city?"

"Most of them have not expressed their opinions."

Li Youliang snorted coldly after hearing this: "A group of people who don't know how to die. Let's see what these people are going to do."

“What about the diehard Li Yuan who was captured and captured?”

"It seems that those above the third rank will be handed over to Duke Wei in the future. Those below the third rank who are unwilling to surrender should be killed!"

"Kill them all?"

Changsun Chang was a little surprised.

However, according to Li Youliang, killing someone is as easy as killing a chicken.

"Master Marquis, should we leave these people to Duke Wei? We should at least hand them over to General Manager Huang to avoid criticism."

"No need!"

Li Youliang smiled and said: "Leave these people to Huang Mingliao and let him deal with them as he pleases. It's just a matter of trouble for ourselves. It's better for us to solve these problems for Duke Wei."
