—— After being squeezed by Mrs. Qiu Guo once, Yang Xi, whose passion was released, felt good, but he felt a little guilty, a little sorry for Yang Guozhong, and he still prostituted himself like this when he was filial piety for him, and also did this kind of thing with Yang Guozhong's old lover.

After returning home, he also "repented" in front of Yang Guozhong's tablet for a while, but thinking about Yang Guozhong's special thing of "stealing chickens and touching dogs", he just learned from him and continued his father's glorious tradition. Thinking of this, he was relieved.

A day later, he secretly went to visit Yan Zhenqing.

After preparing for the war at the end of last year, he basically didn't go to Yan Zhenqing's mansion to learn calligraphy, and he had too many things to do. After returning in a hurry, he immediately took over the post of secretary of the military department, and then Yang Guozhong soon died of illness, and he didn't have time to visit Yan Zhenqing.

Because Yang Xi is Dai Xiao's body, Yan Zhenqing didn't expect that he, an apprentice who has been in the limelight recently, would come to visit in this era.

Afraid of being seen gossiping by his subordinates, Yan Zhenqing took Yang Xi directly to the study.

"Teacher, Shiro was busy with the war, and later he was busy with his father's funeral, and he was filial piety to his father during this time, so he has never had time to visit you, and please don't be surprised!" A few polite words are also a must.

"Ziliang, it's nothing, you are a celebrity in front of Your Majesty, no more decrepit than me!" Yan Zhenqing stroked his beard and laughed at himself, "You have too many things to do after you return to the court, and your father died of illness, alas...... If it's inconvenient for you, don't think about me, an old man!"

"How can a teacher be an old man?" Yang Xi knew that it was time to introduce the topic he needed, "The teacher is highly respected in the court, Your Majesty admires you very much, the ministers also admire you very much, and your talent is very good." Your Majesty will definitely give you a lot of use in the future!"

Yan Zhenqing thought that Yang Xi was comforting herself, so she laughed it off, but asked about other things: "Ziliang, you added your eldest son a few days ago, this is a gratifying thing, but it's a pity that it's inconvenient for you to celebrate, otherwise the old man will definitely give a big gift!"

"The gift promised by the teacher will be made up in the future, hehe! You can't miss anything!" Yang Xi knew that Yan Zhenqing didn't take what he just said seriously, so he continued to talk about it again. "The teacher's talent in all aspects is very good, and now it is too wronged to have only one of the servants, and the court should give you greater reuse!"

Yan Zhenqing understood another meaning from Yang Xi's words, and the self-deprecating look on his face was also contained, and after carefully looking at Yang Xi's eyes, he asked in a low voice: "Ziliang, do you have something to tell the old man?" ”

"Shiro suggested to His Majesty that it would be good to add a highly respected person like Enshi in the political hall!"

Yang Xi's words shocked Yan Zhenqing and looked at Yang Xi in disbelief. After a while, he asked, "Ziliang, did you really do this?" ”

"Yes! Shiro is recommending his mentor to His Majesty!" Of course, Yang Xi didn't tell Yan Zhenqing about his begging for Yang Yuhuan and Mrs. Qiu Guo, but only said that he recommended it in front of Li Longji. Of course, this is not a lie, he did praise Yan Zhenqing several times in front of Li Longji. It's just that he didn't get too much response from Li Longji.

Yan Zhenqing sighed and whispered, "Ziliang, you shouldn't be like this!"

"The character of a teacher is by no means comparable to ordinary people, if a talented and virtuous person like you cannot be reused by the imperial court. That's too much to say!" Yang Xi was very emotional, "I believe Your Majesty will think about it!"

Yan Zhenqing didn't say anything more about this matter, and the master and apprentice also pulled the topic away.

Just a dozen days later. The imperial court issued an edict to grant Yan Zhenqing the Ministry of Literature and the Book of the People's Republic of China.

This appointment came a bit suddenly, and many ministers in the DPRK and China were very surprised, although Yan Zhenqing had been reminded by Yang Xi, but after the official appointment, he himself felt very surprised. Originally, this position belonged to Yang Guozhong, but now it has fallen on his head, compared to Yan Zhenqing's original position, he has been promoted several levels, which makes him feel trembling.

Li Mi was also promoted and appointed to the post of Zhongshu Shilang, which once again surprised the courtiers.

I didn't expect Yang Yuhuan and Mrs. Qiu Guo to speak so much, Yang Xi's surprise was beyond words, and the two people he hoped to be promoted were awarded important positions. Although Li Mi was not awarded the position, but the position of Zhongshu Shilang is definitely not insignificant, and there are many people who are hung up with the title of Pingzhangshi under the Zhongshu Gate, so it can be said that Li Mi is just one step away from the door of the political hall.

After finding Li Mi and recommending him to serve in the court, Yang Xi had a further understanding of this person, and after understanding, he felt that this person was really not an ordinary person. Li Mi, who has a very good taste of fairy wind and bones, looks at honor and disgrace very lightly, and only hopes that there will be a time to play his ambitions, and he is very upright. Yang Xi likes to make friends with such a person very much, and after getting to know Li Mi, he regarded this person as his guest. In his feeling, Li Mi's character and talent are much higher than the famous Li Bai and Du Fu, of course, he thinks that the talent is not poetry, but the performance in politics. In terms of his ability to govern the country, Li Mi has to throw out Li Bai and Du Fu.

This is the main reason why Yang Xi vigorously recommended Li Yu, but did not find a way to get Li Longji to promote Li Bai, Du Fu and others.

Li Bai and Du Fu, Yang Xi, felt that it was their best to let them manage institutions similar to the Hanlin Academy, and let them contribute to the cultural prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. However, their reputation can still be borrowed, and after staying in the court for a long time, maybe there will be progress in this area.

After Li Mi issued the edict to promote him to another position in the imperial court, he immediately came to visit Yang Xi.

"Li Shilang, congratulations on your ascension!" Yang Xi, who welcomed Li into the study, teased.

"Brother Ziliang is joking!" Li Mi replied to Yang Xi's ridicule with a calm look, "I really didn't expect that the imperial court would appoint a certain Zhongshu squire, I believe this is the reason why Ziliang said it in front of His Majesty!"

"It's gold that will shine wherever you put it, a talent like Brother Changyuan, anyone who comes into contact with you will be impressed by your talent, I admire Brother Changyuan's talent, so I will recommend it like Your Majesty, I believe that Your Majesty also recognizes your talent, so you will be promoted!" After Yang Xi said these words seriously, he laughed again, "If Brother Changyuan is a person who is not without academics, I will never be able to recommend it to Your Majesty, and even if I do, Your Majesty will not approve it, and maybe he will reprimand me fiercely." ”

"Ziliang, you think too highly of me, compared to you, who dares to say that he is good at learning?" Li Mi laughed twice, "Ziliang, you are so admirable to me, a person as capable as you, looking at my Datang, are very few, both civil and military, and I don't know how many are higher than ordinary people, hehe, I will ask you more in the future!"

"Discuss and learn from each other, who calls us close friends?" Yang Xi laughed along.

Just when Yang Xi was happy that what he wanted had come true, there were a few people in another place who were worried about it.

In the east palace of Taiji Palace, the crown prince Li Jue was discussing matters with his eldest son Li Zhuo.

The people on the side were all stunned.

"Father, Your Majesty gave Yan Zhenqing the post of secretary of the Ministry of Culture, and ordered Gao Shi to preside over the affairs of the Ministry of Martial Affairs, and now Li Mi has also been promoted to the rank of Zhongshu Shilang, father, don't you think there is anything wrong with this?" Li Zhuo said with a worried look: "Father, these people are all people closely related to Yang Xi, do you think that the official positions of these people promoted by the imperial court will have nothing to do with Yang Xi?" ”

Because of his special relationship with Yang Xi and his explicit promise, Li Jue's feelings for Yang Xi are very complicated, after hearing Li Ju say such things, he didn't seem to particularly care, but just replied lightly: "Ju'er, this should be Your Majesty's meaning, Yang Xi should not be able to influence Your Majesty's decision." These people are indeed talented and learned, and it would be nice if they could use these people for their own use!"

Li Zhuo shook his head and disagreed with his father's statement: "Father, the child thinks that this matter must be related to Yang Xi, maybe he said that he moved Yang Guifei to intercede in front of His Majesty and let His Majesty be promoted to these positions." Father, the people you recommend are rarely promoted, don't you think this is a bit unusual? ”

Hearing Li Ju say this, Li Jue also felt that something was wrong. Yes, during this time, he recommended several people to Li Longji, expecting to be reused by the imperial court, but it was not completely as he wished, even if the recommended people were reused by the imperial court, they were all inconsequential positions.

Li Yu was recommended by Yang Xi, and Li Jue knew that this person had only been in the court for less than a year, and he became a Chinese scholar. Gao Shi, who has been following Yang Xi, is also ranked as a military attendant, as well as Cen Shen, Du Fu, and Li Bai, these people recommended by Yang Xi are not low in the court.

"Could it be that my father already knows Yang Xi's identity, so he is particularly kind to Yang Xi?" This is the thought that suddenly popped into Li Jue. As soon as this thought came to him, he himself was startled. If Yang Xi's true identity Li Longji knew and was accepted by Li Longji, then maybe there would be a direct transfer of the throne to the emperor's grandson.

Yang Xi's ability is too good, for the sake of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, it is normal for Li Longji to have such plans.

Li Jue's heart was in turmoil all of a sudden, if this was the case, then everything he did would be useless, and no good thing would be on his head!

This is something he cannot tolerate, he wants to be emperor, he wants to ascend to that position that represents the highest power.

But what if what he had just thought was happening? Stand directly opposite to Yang Xi and fight to the death?

His heart was in a mess, and he lost his square inch all of a sudden.

"Father, what's wrong with you?" There was no response to his words, and Li Ju was a little surprised to see Li Jue's unrelenting look.

Li Jue also came back to her senses and smiled far-fetchedly, "Zhuo'er, it's nothing, my father thought of something." What you just said, my father will think about it, if it is really Yang Xi's doing, then we will definitely come up with a countermeasure. ”

"Alright, father, just wait for you to think about it, and we'll discuss it again!" (To be continued......)
