Chapter 100: I Will Marry You as a Wife
(2nd Update!) ——
Just returned to Chang'an and had a conversation with Yang Guozhong, although the final result was not discussed, Yang Xi had already understood the situation of the competition between the DPRK and the crown prince.
Li Longji has many sons, many sons are coveting the crown prince, and the blatant ones are just what Yang Guozhong said, especially Yongwang Li Luan, Yang Guozhong said that Li Longji's son is the most "active", and even when he visited the palace several times, he was blatantly looking for Yang Guozhong's support, and said that if he replaced Li Heng as the crown prince and finally ascended the throne, he would continue to let Yang Guozhong take charge of the court affairs and ask him about everything. It's just that Yang Guozhong did not respond directly to Li Luan's overtures, but vaguely prevaricated.
"Xi'er, in the matter of supporting who is the prince, we must be cautious, and there must be no mistakes, otherwise a catastrophe will come!" This is Yang Guozhong's final emotion after talking to Yang Xi.
Of course, Yang Xi understands the importance of this matter, if he is a little careless, and the supporter fails to become the crown prince in the end, the person who succeeds in winning will definitely "retaliate" after taking power, and purge some potential or actual threats for the consolidation of his power, and those who do not stand on the right side will eventually be unlucky.
Yang Xi can also understand the anxiety of Yang Guozhong and the other princes who covet the crown prince, after all, Li Longji is in his seventies, and no one knows when he will suddenly pass the throne to the crown prince, and no one can predict when he will die. If these things happen suddenly, then everyone will be caught off guard, and there is no way to do anything to deal with it temporarily, but to arm as soon as possible.
Li Heng is also very aggrieved, he has been the crown prince for decades, but there has always been such a little distance from the throne, if he finally misses the throne, it is estimated that he will not be able to let go of it for several lifetimes.
However, Yang Xi still strongly hoped that Li Heng's crown prince would not be guaranteed, and that a crown prince who was kind to their Yang family would be enthroned as emperor. In that case, there may not be any danger to the Yang family. If Li Heng ascends the throne, then the Yang family is destined to have a hard time, and as the heir of the Yang family, he will also suffer, and no one would want such a thing to happen.
What's more, Yang Xi didn't think that Li Heng had any wisdom, in the historical records, this person who became the emperor by mistake because of the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, and whose temple name was Suzong, did not make much contribution, and died after reigning for about ten years. When Li Heng died, the Anshi Rebellion had not yet subsided. It was not until a few years after his son Daizong Li Yu became emperor that it was completely calmed down.
It's just that which prince should be appointed to replace Li Heng as the crown prince? Yang Xi can't think of it now, he is not familiar with these princes, he has no intersection, and now if he wants to give his opinion, he can't say why, he can only slowly understand it, and then make a decision.
However, there is a prince, but Yang Xi feels that he should not support it no matter what. That is Yongwang Li Lan.
Yang Xi also thought of the book "Anshi Rebellion" that he read before he crossed over to the Tang Dynasty, as if he had roughly seen the fact that Yongwang Li Lan wanted to support his troops and want to stand on his own feet when the Anshi Rebellion was not peaceful.
Not to mention whether it has the ability to lead the Tang Empire, the Anshi Rebellion has not been settled. Li Longji ordered him to lead the army to quell the rebellion, and Li Lan tried to stand on his own, and it can be seen from his confrontation with Wang Shi that this son had no courage and no strategy. There is no sense of the big picture. Not to mention that the measures and strategic arrangements taken are without foresight. How can such a person be supported?
Yang Xi is hopeful. After he returned to Chang'an, he was able to meet Li Longji's sons, get to know them, and then decide his own judgment.
The day after Yang Xi returned to Chang'an, he went to the palace to fulfill his newly appointed position by Li Longji.
It can be said that his post of general Zuo Longwu is to replace Chen Xuanli, who was dismissed by Li Longji, although he still has the title of "inspector", that is, it is equivalent to acting, but his functions and powers are basically similar. Because of Yang Xi's outstanding performance in Tongguan and Shaanxi County, before returning to Chang'an, he severely damaged the 150,000 rebels led by Sun Xiaozhe and Tian Qianzhen several times, so that the rebels did not dare to continue to attack Shaanxi County and retreated to rest. Such a great military exploit is not comparable to anyone in the ranks of military generals in the DPRK and China. The most important thing for generals in the army is military merit, and the most convincing thing is also military merit, Yang Xi's arrival has been accepted by his generals, and no one dares to despise him.
Coupled with Yang Guozhong's prestige in the court, Yang Xi also successfully fulfilled his new position, at least on the surface.
After Yang Xi fulfilled his new position, he didn't stay in the Longwuwei camp in the palace all the time, and he was quite relaxed. General Long Wu is not directly in charge, the specific affairs of the forbidden army are still in charge of a few generals, and the general is relatively relaxed, and there are not too many mundane things.
When he came back from the battlefield, he was not expected to return to the front line soon, and he didn't have to spend too much energy to be responsible for his new duties, Li Longji allowed him to rest in the house for a few days, and Yang Xile relaxed himself for a few days. Of course, he won't hide in his house all day to rest, his mother Pei Rou's too loving said that he couldn't stand it a little, and he remembered a certain woman, so after staying in the house for two days, he was ready to go out to play.
Although Li Longji rewarded him with the mansion, and it was almost renovated, Pei Rou did not allow Yang Xi to move out to live, Yang Xi could only obey, and he was still living in the Wei Mansion for the time being-
"Qi Niang, tell me about your situation after you return home?"
After making an appointment with Guo Xin, Yang Xi's first question was this.
This is also what he is most concerned about, Guo Xin secretly ran away from home and has been out for many years, Yang Xi can't imagine how her mother and other family members will treat her after she returns home, whether they will question her and blame her.
Guo Xin knew what Yang Xi was worried about her, and immediately replied with a smile: "Shiro, don't worry, I said earlier that my mother won't blame me." She didn't have time to take care of me, and she was very happy when I returned to the house safely! Don't ask this, where are you going to take me today? ”
In fact, she was lying, but she was afraid that Yang Xi would worry and didn't say the situation. After running away from home for dozens of days, her mother, of course, was furious, but she didn't hang her up and beat her. However, what Guo Xin is most afraid of is his father and eldest brother, these two people are not in the house, she didn't take her mother's threats seriously at all, and she hid and didn't see her mother. The mother, who was busy every day, naturally didn't bother to pay attention to her in the end, and when she returned safely, her original hanging heart was also put down, and after Guo Xin hid, she didn't blame her again. A turmoil caused by Guo Xin running away from home for dozens of days almost subsided.
Although Yang Xi guessed that things would not be as simple as Guo Xin said, Guo Xin said that it was okay, and he didn't want to say more, today he asked her to come out, so he didn't ask, seeing Guo Xin asking where to play, he immediately changed his mind, and after thinking about it, he said: "Qi Niang, why don't we go to Leyouyuan?" ”
Guo Xin immediately agreed, "It's okay, I heard that the plum blossoms there are blooming, let's go to enjoy the plum blossoms together!"
Today's Guo Xin is still dressed in men's clothes as usual, and her winter clothes are still very thick, making it impossible to tell whether she is a man or a woman.
Although Yang Xi's reputation is very big today, he does not have the exposure rate on TV and media like later generations, and no one knows that this young man is the deputy marshal of soldiers and horses who saved the fate of the Tang Dynasty and saved the lives of countless Chang'an people. There were not many people with their entourage, and no one paid attention to them after they arrived at Leyouyuan.
Yang Xi actually didn't have much impression of Leyouyuan, and let him know that the name of this place was written by a famous poet on Leyouyuan, what "the sunset is infinitely good, but it's just near dusk" poem.
However, after landing in Leyouyuan, the beautiful scenery there still surprised Yang Xi. There is a green dragon temple on the Leyou Plain, and there are plum blossoms near the temple. Now is the season of plum blossoms, and before you get close to the plum forest, the refreshing fragrance comes to your nose and smells intoxicating.
"Qi Niang, it seems that we really chose the right place today!" Seeing the patches of various plum blossoms blooming one after another, Yang Xi said with a smile.
Guo Xin was also happy, but she still felt a little regretful, "Walking on the snow to find plums is the most flavorful, but it's a pity that there has been no snow these days!"
"Look at the weather conditions this year, there should be snow again, I hope that when it snows again, the plum blossoms have not yet bloomed, and then we will come to the snow to find the plum blossoms!" Yang Xi saw that Guo Xin was walking very close to him as he spoke, so he naturally reached out and grabbed her hand.
Guo Xin was stunned and hurriedly struggled, but Yang Xi grabbed it tightly and didn't break free, so he could only give up, but his pretty face had turned red.
Xiaoyu, who was following them, also had a red face, but she could only pretend not to see it, and then slowed down and kept a distance from the two of them, so as not to disturb them.
After being grabbed by Yang Xi's hand, Guo Xin was quite unnatural, there were many people on the side, and many people stared at them from time to time, but after a while, they finally relaxed, and their arms were no longer stiff. The warmth from Yang Xi's palm made her feel warm in her heart, very warm, and finally opened her fingers and held Yang Xi's ten fingers.
At this time, going out to play is no longer mainly to enjoy the scenery, but to let go of their own mood. The mood is getting better and better as the two of them walk slowly and enjoy the scenery slowly, and the taste of playing is also getting better and better.
After strolling through the plum forest for an hour, Yang Xi felt a little cold and proposed to go to the Qinglong Temple on the side to rest. Guo Xin naturally agreed, and the two went hand in hand to Qinglong Temple.
After approaching the temple, Guo Xin also broke free of his hand, but Yang Xi's eyes were still full of tenderness.
After entering the Qinglong Temple, Yang Xi didn't want to bother too much, so he casually turned around with Guo Xin, and finally accepted Guo Xin's proposal and bowed a few times in front of the Buddha statue.
After worshipping a few times, Yang Xi's ghost idea came up, turned his head and whispered to Guo Xin: "Qi Niang, do you know? I just made a wish. ”
"What wish?" Guo Xin naturally asked.
"You want to know?" Yang Xi's face was mysterious.
"Hmm!" Of course, Guo Xin nodded.
"I told the Buddha that I would marry you!"
"Huh?!" Guo Xin was dumbfounded, and then blushed. (To be continued......)
