"Hmm, Xi'er, I'm very surprised for my father, why did you think of so many new things after you returned to Chang'an for so long this time?" After carefully examining a few patterns, Yang Guozhong's eyes flashed with a strange light, "Is it being instructed by some master?" ”

"Father, the child gets along with the soldiers day and night in Tongguan, understands a lot of things, listens to the discussions of the soldiers, and the child has been thinking about how to better fight, and some utensils used in the war will naturally come up!" Yang Xi didn't want to explain anything, Yang Guozhong had doubts, let him guess by himself, and then explain when he found an opportunity in the future.

Yang Guozhong surprisingly didn't ask again, but said with a smile: "Xi'er, don't worry, these things you ask for your father will be prepared for you, and you can mention anything difficult to do to your father in the future." You're going back to Tongguan after dark, so let's go back and rest first!"

"Thank you father," Yang Xi was overjoyed and immediately bowed, "Then the father is busy first, and the child will go back to rest first!"

But just when Yang Xi was about to leave, a little eunuch came to report that the emperor had summoned their father and son to talk about things.

Yang Guozhong and Yang Xi didn't dare to delay, and they passed over immediately.

Li Longji's dormitory has ice cubes inside, and he immediately feels cool as soon as he enters. In the palace, only the loyal eunuch Gao Lishi was accompanying Li Longji, and there was no one else, depending on the situation, Li Longji was discussing things with Gao Lishi.

When Yang Guozhong and Yang Xi, father and son, walked into Li Longji's bedroom, Gao Lishi saluted and retreated.

Li Longji stretched out his hand to signal Yang Guozhong and Yang Xi, who were saluting, to excuse him, and sat down on the side, and then said: "Guozhong, Shiro, I called you here today, there are some things to discuss!"

"Your Majesty, please do not hesitate to tell me if there is anything!" Yang Guozhong bowed again, with a respectful look.

Li Longji didn't say anything polite, and directly explained the meaning: "Chen Xuanli deliberately delayed the time to ask for help from Tongguan, and he has to be held accountable according to the law, but I don't want to be too embarrassed for him because he has always followed me loyally!" He has been in the army for many years, and there are many people in the forbidden army who are his cronies and disciples, and I don't want to cause trouble when the situation is delicate, I wonder if the two of you can understand what I mean? ”

How could Yang Guozhong not understand the meaning of Li Longji's words, he stood up and agreed without hesitation: "Your Majesty thinks about the overall situation in everything, and the minister admires it very much, Your Majesty decides like this, of course the minister agrees!" It's just that the minister thinks that Chen Xuanli has committed such a big crime, His Majesty must deal with him, and he can't be allowed to serve in the army again, and the minister feels that His Majesty should be a very good choice for him to go back to self-cultivation!"

Yang Xi was very surprised that his father dared to say this in front of the emperor, and he was worried for a while, afraid that Yang Guozhong's words would annoy Li Longji, in exchange for a reprimand, but to his surprise, Li Longji seemed to be very satisfied with Yang Guozhong's words, and after slowly exhaling his breath, he said: "Guozhong, you suggested this, I also think it is very good, just do it according to your proposal, remove Chen Xuanli from all his positions, and let him live and recuperate in the mansion!"

Li Longji's words made Yang Xi dumbfounded, and he further understood the extent to which his father Li Longji was favored, and he could make such a request, it seemed that he was still too careful.

After Yang Guozhong sat down, Li Longji cast his eyes on Yang Xi, motioned for Yang Xi to sit close to him, and after Yang Xi sat down according to his words, he said earnestly: "Shilang, your performance in Tongguan a few days ago surprised me very much, and I also believe that your military talent is comparable to that of Huo Wei of the Han Dynasty, I hope you can perform more well when you continue to lead the army to defend Tongguan, and prevent the rebels from capturing Tongguan!"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, as long as the minister is in Tongguan for one day, he will never let Tongguan fall into the hands of the rebels!" Yang Xi straightened up as he spoke, and said very proudly: "Your Majesty, not only will the minister not let the rebels break through Tongguan, but will also lead the army out of the pass to fight when the situation becomes more favorable, and completely quell the rebellion of the thieves for Your Majesty." As long as Your Majesty continues to let the minister lead the army in the front, the minister will definitely be able to do it!"

Yang Xi's words surprised Yang Guozhong, and also surprised Li Longji. However, Li Longji was very relieved to hear this, he reached out and patted Yang Xi's arm, and said with a smile: "Shiro, you have such a heroic spirit, I am very happy, as long as you perform well in Tongguan, I will definitely let you continue to lead the army." I hope that you can make military merits again, and I believe that your father is the same, and he also hopes that you can make military merits again and glorify the lintel of the Yang family. Hehe, Guozhong, don't you say? ”

Hearing Li Longji say this, although Yang Guozhong was a little reluctant for Yang Xi to lead the army out of Tongguan to fight, for fear that he would have any accidents, or suffer defeat, and lose the glory in front of him, but Yang Xi said so, and the emperor said so, how could he say anything more, so he could only reply stubbornly: "Your Majesty, of course the minister hopes so, if Shiro makes another military contribution, the minister is also very pleased!"

As he was talking, a clanging sound came, and then a soft and sweet voice sounded, "Your Majesty, the concubine has come to see you!"

With the sound, the dressed Yang Yuhuan came out from behind the screen, and several beautiful maids stopped outside, not daring to come in.

Yang Guozhong and Yang Xi got up and saluted Yang Yuhuan, and after Yang Yuhuan received the salute, he also sat down directly on the edge of Li Longji's couch.

Yang Yuhuan does not need to be notified when entering and leaving Li Longji's dormitory, and he can come in directly.

"Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't know that you, Guozhong and Shiro are discussing important matters, is it a coincidence?" Yang Yuhuan said to Li Longji with a flattering smile, and a pair of soft white hands also raised and gently hammered for Li Longji. As he spoke, his eyes naturally glanced at Yang Xi, and he paused for a moment, as if he wanted to see Yang Xi to the end.

In fact, Yang Yuhuan came here because Yang Guozhong had told him before he came in just now, and he had some requirements to mention to the emperor, for fear that the emperor would not agree, so he moved his cousin out.

Hearing Yang Yuhuan say this, Li Longji smiled and patted Yang Yuhuan's little hand, and said with a smile: "How could it be unfortunate that Yuhuan came?" I had just praised Yang Xi and was about to announce his reward before he returned to Tongguan, and I also encouraged him to lead the army well in the future and strive for military merit again. After dark, Shiro is going back to Tongguan, you, the noble concubine, and Shiro's aunt, why should you encourage him a few words? ”

Hearing Li Longji say this, Yang Yuhuan immediately followed his meaning and said: "What Your Majesty said is that Shiro is going back to Tongguan, and the concubine will naturally come over to visit, and the concubine also hopes that Shiro can make military merits again, so that Your Majesty can rest assured and face the Yang family!"

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Yang Xi, and said with a smile: "Shiro, after you return to Tongguan, you must work hard and don't slack off, so as not to worry about Your Majesty and your father to be anxious." You also have to take care of yourself and don't get hurt. My aunt is going to give you a gift today, and I hope to bless you with peace in the future!"

As he spoke, he got up and took something from his body......
