"Oh? The prince and Li Zhuo are discussing how to deal with me? ”

The matter of Li Jue's secret discussion with Li Ju quickly reached Yang Xi's ears, but he finally laughed it off without even being shocked.

This is a very normal thing, if Li Jue and Li Ju don't pay special attention to him, a young man who is now very popular and valued by Li Longji, then they can't afford to be called the eldest son of the prince of the Tang Dynasty and the prince.

As the crown prince, Yang Xi can quickly know what Li Jue moves, because of this, he is not afraid that Li Jue will do something against him.

If Li Jue did something, he could take measures to resolve it, but he didn't want to have an open conflict with Li Jue and Li Ju now.

There were some people in the East Palace, and he didn't tell anyone about it, but when he learned that Li Jue and Li Zhuo Miyi dealt with him, he still had to talk to the people on the side, hoping to get help from the people on the side, after all, he was filial piety now, and it was inconvenient to act.

"Father-in-law, if the prince breaks his promise, what do you think the son-in-law should do?" Guo Ziyi is one of Yang Xi's most trusted people now, and he first went to Guo Ziyi to discuss this matter.

"This is something that will definitely happen, Ziliang, do you really believe that Li Ying will fulfill his promise?" Guo Ziyi was not surprised by what Yang Xi said, but surprised that Yang Xi was not mentally prepared for this issue.

Yang Xi, who asked this, was a little embarrassed, and after laughing twice, he said: "Father-in-law, the son-in-law naturally hopes that the prince can turn what he promised me into reality, which will save a lot of trouble." ”

"If you want to realize your dream in the end, then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely fulfill his promise, but he will definitely not agree to you so easily, you have to make a lot of efforts to make him agree and force him to fulfill his promise!" Guo Ziyi said it very directly.

Yang Xi suddenly understood what Guo Ziyi meant.

And Gao Shi knew that this incident was obviously not as serious as Guo Ziyi's, and he was a little worried because he didn't fully know the inside story.

"Ziliang. Your father has been fighting with the deposed prince, and now you and the prince are fighting again, how can that be good? ”

"Maybe our Yang family is destined to fight with the prince, hehe!" Yang Xi laughed at himself, but also comforted Gao Shi and said: "Brother Dafu, you don't have to worry, the prince is just worried about my mentor Yan Gong and Li Mi and your promotion in the court, I believe this is also because of being bewitched, and it will be fine after a while." We are all ministers of the Tang Dynasty and are only loyal to the Tang Dynasty. Everything is done for the long-term peace and stability of the world. Case. So why worry too much? ”

Gao Liang naturally knew that Yang Xi's words were just a kind of scene and had no practical meaning, but after hearing this, the worry in his heart was still a little less. This is because Yang Xi showed arrogance and confidence when he spoke, without a little fear.

"We do our part. Since Your Majesty trusts us, then we must not live up to Your Majesty's trust, do our work well, do everything well, and do not refuse any rewards from the imperial court. Those who are capable must work hard, and the imperial court entrusts us with more important functions, just because we are talented and capable. Let's do what we can in the future!"

Yang Xi's last words made Gao Shi a little baffled. But Yang Xi didn't explain much.

Yang Xi finally went to the East Palace to visit Li Jue once.

When Yang Xi came to visit him in the palace during the time of filial piety, Li Jue was quite surprised.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, this time the minister came to the palace to visit the Prince, and he has some private matters to tell you!" Yang Xi directly explained the intention.

Hearing that Yang Xi was going to talk about private matters, Li Jue immediately withdrew everyone around him. and asked Yang Xi to talk to him in the secret room.

"Xi'er, what do you have to say to your father?" Because there was a ghost in her heart, Li Jue was very nervous.

Yang Xi stared at Li Jue with a serious expression: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, are you not satisfied with what the minister has done during this time?" ”

Hearing Yang Xi's words, Li Jue's heart sank, and he immediately asked, "Xi'er, what do you mean by this?" How can a father be dissatisfied with you? You led the army to pacify Qinghai and almost wiped out the Tubo State, and it was a surprise to set up such a great military feat as your father. Also, after you returned to the court, your father ordered you to preside over the affairs of the military department and the prime minister's military reform. If you are so capable, how can a father be dissatisfied with you? ”

Li Jue actually didn't have any confidence in what he said, I don't know why, he was a little nervous in front of Yang Xi, and he was always stubborn. Yang Xi's words just now made him nervous, and he wondered if his secret discussion with Li Zhuo had been overheard by someone and told Yang Xi.

"Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very satisfied with the minister, why can't he see His Royal Highness the Prince's personal congratulations after the minister's triumphant return to the court? After the minister presided over the affairs of the military department, he was ready to preside over the reform of the military system, but he did not see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince expressing support for this? After the minister returned to the court, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not say anything privately to the minister once, so the minister can only think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very dissatisfied with what the minister has done during this time!"

Hearing Yang Xi say this, Li Jue breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that the reason why Yang Xi said that just now turned out to be this, and he quickly explained: "Xi'er, after your triumphant return, it's not that your father doesn't want to come to congratulate him in person, but I'm just worried that my father will be suspicious of you by doing so." , after you presided over the affairs of the military department and prepared to carry out the reform of the military system, my father wanted to support you very much. But you also know that as a father, I don't know much about military affairs, and I don't dare to meddle in this matter as the crown prince, and I am still afraid that my father will be suspicious, so it is impossible to show support to you at the court meeting or in private! But don't worry, if there is a dispute in the court, the father will definitely be on your side. So don't worry about anything, the Father is always there for you. ”

Li Jue's words "for the father" made Yang Xi feel weird.

Because it is a traverser, there is no sense of father-son affection for Yang Guozhong and Li Jue, and many times he forces himself to recognize the so-called "family relationship" between them. Fortunately, Li Ying did not order him to do anything as a "father", otherwise he would feel even more uncomfortable.

"I see!" Yang Xi pretended to be suddenly enlightened, "It seems that the minister has misunderstood the meaning of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Xi'er, we are father and son who are related by blood, don't talk like this," Yang Xi's reaction made Li Jue's heart feel a little more relaxed, and he said with emotion: "Xi'er, you helped your father become the prince smoothly, and I am very grateful to my father." You have performed so well over the years, and I am very happy as a father, and I believe that you will perform even better in the future. I just hope that you will help your father more in the future, because your father never asked about the court before he became the prince, and there were few people who could be trusted in the court, even if he became the prince, he didn't understand much about the court. I hope that with your strong support, Xi'er, I can finally help my father ascend to the throne of God. ”

Of course, Li Ying has to get Yang Xi's support, at least at present, Yang Xi's influence in the court is still very good, even much greater than him, who has just become the prince, plus Yang Xi's father-in-law Guo Ziyi is also in the political hall, and Yan Zhenqing, who worships as the teacher of the industry, has also been promoted to the post of prime minister. If he didn't get the support of Yang Xi and those close to Yang Xi, then he, the crown prince, would still be terrified, and even repeat Li Heng's mistakes.

"Xi'er, my father's original promise is still in mind, if my father really ascends the throne as the emperor, I will definitely tell the world your identity and make you the emperor," Li Jue gritted his teeth and said this, and then said softly: "Xi'er, it's just that my father is afraid that it will not be good if this matter is known, so before my father ascends the throne as the emperor, I can't let anyone know about it, can you understand what it means to be a father?" ”

Li Jue knew that if he didn't mention the promise he made at that time now, maybe Yang Xi would be suspicious of him, and even take other means, so that he would never have a chance to be honored in the Ninth Five-Year Plan. What he has to do now is to do everything possible to let Yang Xi stand in his camp, let Yang Xi be used by him, and help him succeed. became the crown prince, no matter what, everything is not fine, his brothers are eyeing the crown prince, especially Yongwang Li Lan, his father treats Li Lan more favorably than him, if it is not for the support of Yang Xi and the forces behind him, it is unlikely that the candidate for the prince will fall on him this time. Therefore, although he is wary of Yang Xi, he must also envelop Yang Xi well.

Of course, there was still a temptation in his words, wanting to eliminate the doubts in his heart and figure out from Yang Xi's mouth whether Li Longji knew the identity between the two.

Yang Xi didn't know that Li Jue suspected that he would tell Li Longji his true identity, and hearing Li Jue say this, he also recognized, "What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is extremely true, this is an extraordinary time, and we must not let anyone know about the relationship between us, otherwise it will be very unfavorable to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and to me." If His Majesty knew about it, maybe His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I would have to be punished severely. ”

Hearing Yang Xi say this, Li Ying breathed a sigh of relief, Yang Xi did not tell his father Li Longji about his identity, which means that the emperor's promotion of these people close to Yang Xi during this period is another reason......

Just when Li Jue was guessing the reason, Yang Xi's mysterious words surprised him.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister also knows that there are not many people you can trust in the court, and the strength to support you is insufficient, so he also recommended some people to His Majesty, these people are quite recognized by His Royal Highness the Prince's talents, and these people will definitely be used by the prince in the future!"

Yang Xi's words made Li Ying stunned, and he knew how to reply. Sure enough, it was Yang Xi who personally sought a higher position for the people around him, but he didn't expect Yang Xi to do this for his father! Is Yang Xi's words true or false? Is his own son really so dedicated to helping him? Or do you fool him with words? Li Jue couldn't figure it out all of a sudden.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I think, we can't have any suspicions in the future, we must cooperate with all our might!"

"Well, Xi'er, you're right, we can't have any suspicions!" Li Ying subconsciously responded.
