(Thanks to the monthly pass of the Chinese Tiger Benjun Book Friends!) ——

A person, there are always some people in his life who are worthy of his trust.

For the current Yang Xi, he feels that the person he can trust the most is his father-in-law Guo Ziyi.

He can't tell the specific reason, which may be related to the fact that Guo Ziyi made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty in historical records, but he did not have the intention of rebellion; may also be his father-in-law with Guo Ziyi, and he loves him a lot.

It could also be a combination of all kinds.

Of course, his trust in Guo Ziyi is also based on long-term observation.

Since the last time he directly explained his truest thoughts to Guo Ziyi, this father-in-law's attitude towards him has not changed, even better than before he got married, which is enough to show that the other party wants to help him. Now that he has even said such things, what else can he be Guo Ziyi?

Anyone who achieves great things has some capable people behind him to help, and he regards Guo Ziyi as a capable person who helps him achieve great things.

From another point of view, Guo Ziyi is his father-in-law, if his son-in-law is unlucky, Guo Ziyi will definitely be implicated.

Now that Guo Ziyi has decided to help him, he will definitely do his best to help, and the two have almost become grasshoppers on a rope.

Seeing Guo Ziyi say so directly, Yang Xi also put aside all his worries and asked Guo Ziyi: "Father-in-law, what do you think, what should I do in the next time?" Now I am filial to my father, and I can't do anything, so I'm in a hurry. ”

"If you think this is not good, you can let the concubine Niangniang propose to His Majesty to use the affection!" Guo Ziyi looked at Yang Xi after saying this decision, and said in a low voice: "If the imperial court can use you, then you don't have to worry about this." ”

In ancient times, there was filial piety for the loss of parents, and filial piety was three years. But there are exceptions, that is, the court can "seize affection", that is, the court thinks that you are a talent, you can't do without you, and you can't be called to serve before the expiration of filial piety, or you don't have to go to the official office, you can not wear official clothes, and you can do things with the power of performing your duties in plain clothes, but you can't participate in celebrations, sacrifices, banquets, etc. This is what Guo Ziyi's suggestion meant, let Li Longji "regain his affection", on the grounds that the imperial court could not do without ministers like Yang Xi. Let him come out and do things.

Guo Ziyi said that this matter was not said out of thin air, but it was true to his true thoughts. During this time, he was in charge of military affairs, and he was very aware of the shortcomings of the current military system, and for the sake of the country's long-term peace and stability, changes must be made. And this matter is now entrusted to Yang Xi to be responsible, but Yang Xi can't come out to do things because of the death of his father Yang Guozhong, and this matter will definitely slow down. If the emperor wants to do this, he can use this matter as an excuse that he can't do without Yang Xi. In this way, Yang Xi can always do things in the court and increase his influence.

However, Guo Ziyi did not strongly recommend Yang Xi to do this, because convincing the emperor to use Yang Xi through others would at least leave a bad impression in the emperor's heart. will think that Yang Xi is authoritarian or something. However, everything is still up to Yang Xi to decide, and he is just suggesting in this matter.

Hearing Guo Ziyi say this, Yang Xi just thought about it for a while and shook his head in denial, "Father-in-law." This is not very good, if the war in Qinghai is not over now, it can make the imperial court recover. But now that the war is over, in addition to the military reform, there is no other major thing that the son-in-law needs to do, and the father-in-law is also doing the military reform, and it is not necessary for the son-in-law to preside over it, so for this reason, let the court use the affection, which will make many people have a rhetoric, so don't do it. ”

Yang Xi's explanation made Guo Ziyi sigh secretly in her heart, her son-in-law is still quite smart, and immediately agreed, "Ziliang, what you said is not bad, if you are used now, there will definitely be many people who will say something about you, which is not good for your reputation, it is better to wait slowly." Half a year has passed since your father's filial piety, and there are only less than two years left, which will pass soon. In the past two years, you have been able to do a lot of things, and many things can be done by the people around you, which will make Your Majesty praise you more. ”

"That's what my father-in-law said!" Yang Xi agreed with what Guo Ziyi said. The time to keep filial piety for his parents is twenty-seven months, and it has been almost half a year since Yang Guozhong died, and it will be over in another twenty-one months, and it will be very fast to think about it.

"Ziliang, the old man knows that you have been working hard to arrange for your own cronies to enter the court and enter the forbidden army system for a while, and the old man approves of your approach. The old man said the same thing today, if you want to do something in the court, if you want to complete your ultimate dream, a large number of ministers who can obey your orders must be mastered," Guo Ziyi said self-deprecatingly: "It's a pity that the old man has been on the border all these years, and he has just returned to the court, and he is only just familiar with the situation in the court, except for supporting you himself, he can't recruit too many people for you, hehe!"

"Father-in-law is too humble! After my father died, you were already the head of the hundred officials, the head of the political hall, and the hundred officials were headed by you, if people want to recruit anyone, the ministers still don't wait in line at the door of your house? Haha!" Having said that, Yang Xi also recognized Guo Ziyi's words to a certain extent, as a military general, Guo Ziyi's influence in the court is far inferior to Yang Guozhong, who is a civil minister, and even inferior to Wei Jiansu, another prime minister. In the end, Guo Ziyi has been in the border for more than ten years, and there are not many ministers in the DPRK who know him, and even fewer who are familiar with him.

In other words, Guo Ziyi's foundation in the court is not solid, if the emperor takes off his position as the first assistant, it is likely that no one will bird him, which is essentially different from Yang Guozhong.

Of course, Guo Ziyi knew that Yang Xi was just joking with him, and responded with a smile at the moment: "Ziliang, don't disbelieve it, now your influence as a young official in the court will not be less than that of my father-in-law, and you have two aunts who will help you speak in front of Your Majesty!"

"That's right, the two aunts often help me say something in front of His Majesty, which is a good thing!" Yang Xi admits this.

"You should take this opportunity to place more people you approve of in the court!" Guo Ziyi said bluntly again, "According to the old man's observation, except for Gao Shi and Pang Zhong, the other people you trust are not in a high position in the court, and those with prestige have no ......."

After thinking about it, Yang Xi nodded, agreeing with what Guo Ziyi said: "It's true!"

"Ziliang, after the end of the counterinsurgency campaign, you studied calligraphy and painting from Yan Gong, but you don't seem to have time to learn these during this time, you can also study more about this aspect while you have time during the period of filial piety," Guo Ziyi said meaningfully: "Yan Gong has a lot of prestige in the court, and many people in the Yan family were killed by the rebels in the counterinsurgency campaign, and their unyielding loyalty before being killed was appreciated by His Majesty and loved by the subjects of the Tang Dynasty, and Yan Gong's prestige in the court is no worse than that of me, a martial artist!" Ha ha! If he is in the political hall, it is the will of the people!"

When Yang Xi heard this, he immediately realized that Guo Ziyi had directly mentioned him, and immediately responded: "What my father-in-law said is that my mentor Yan Gong is outstanding in both talent and character, and no one uses him to the best of his ability, Your Majesty!"

"And Li Mi, this person has the talent of a prime minister......"

"What my father-in-law said is that this is a rare talent!" Yang Xi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, why didn't he think of these things?

After chatting with Guo Ziyi, Yang Xi found a reason to go to the palace to find Yang Yuhuan.

"Auntie, Shiro wants to ask you to say something in front of Your Majesty!" After Yang Yuhuan retreated, Yang Xi directly explained his intentions.

Yang Yuhuan snorted dissatisfiedly and said, "I thought you came to see your aunt on purpose, but I didn't expect that you had something to ask for!"

"Auntie, isn't that, isn't it inconvenient now? Otherwise, I would have come to the palace often to see my aunt! I have time to visit my aunt today, so I beg my aunt to say something in front of Your Majesty!" Saying that, Yang Xi squeezed to Yang Yuhuan's side and hugged her waist.

Yang Yuhuan poked Yang Xi's face, and said in a dissatisfied voice: "Auntie knows that you are inconvenient, didn't she summon you to the palace to talk about things?" Since you're here today and want to ask your aunt for help, then hurry up and say what you want your aunt to do for you!"

Yang Xi also immediately said what he meant.

"What? Shiro, you actually want Yan Zhenqing and Li Mi to enter the political hall? Yang Yuhuan was dumbfounded.

"Yes!" Yang Xi didn't deny it, "Auntie, Shiro doesn't want to let them enter the political hall now, but it would be good to let them all enter the political hall within the past two years." They are all talented people, not to mention their morality, and there are few people in the DPRK and China. ”

Thinking of the relationship between Yan Zhenqing and Li Mi and Yang Xi, Yang Yuhuan didn't say anything anymore, and after thinking about it, he agreed: "Shiro, my aunt can use you to say it in front of Your Majesty, but whether Your Majesty will agree to that aunt is not guaranteed, after all, this matter is too important." ”

Yang Yuhuan, who originally had the idea of never interfering in the government's politics, because of the relationship between Yang Xi's little lover, he has violated this original intention many times and fought for Yang Xi's rights and interests. Yang Xi often asks for such things now, and she can't refuse, which makes her a little scared.

She was afraid of being burned.

But thinking about fighting for Yang Xi's interests, it was for his own future, and he was finally relieved, so he agreed to Yang Xi's request.

"Auntie, don't say that, the so-called plan is in people, and success is in heaven!" Yang Xi hugged Yang Yuhuan and kissed her, and then said very gently: "Whether it works out or not, thank you aunt!" For the sake of our future, Shiro must always prepare. ”

"Auntie got on your thief ship, and now she can't get down if she wants to!" Yang Yuhuan looked dissatisfied.

After leaving the palace, Yang Xi secretly went to Mrs. Qiu Guo again and said a similar request, but the method was different.

Mrs. Qiu Guo readily agreed to help, but asked Yang Xi to thank her first.

Yang Xi had no choice but to go out, and when no one was paying attention, in Mrs. Qiuguo's bedroom, she had a fast-food passion, which satisfied Mrs. Qiuguo once, and had her promise that she would help with anything in the future, and then left.

It feels strange in his heart, does he sell his hue in exchange for a woman's help? (To be continued......)
