—— Yang Xi's judgment was basically correct, and in the next few months, the open and secret battle between Li Ying and Li Xuan was very fierce.

When Li Ling talked with Li Longji at the court meeting or in private, he would put forward some constructive opinions from time to time, and faintly accused Li Ling, who was the crown prince, of being in power for several years and had made no achievements, and it was the same when he was in charge of the country, almost doing nothing.

This made Li Jue feel a little crazy. In these aspects, he is indeed a little less capable, and he can't think of more strategies that benefit the country and the people. In addition, he had little experience in dealing with court affairs, and when he was in charge of the country on behalf of Li Longji, he didn't know how to do many things, let alone dare to do them. This led to his performance when he was in charge of the country, which disappointed Li Longji a little, and did not surprise the ministers.

Li Ying is somewhat similar to Li Xian, which is a judgment made by many ministers.

Although Li Ying didn't completely know the impression and evaluation of Li Longji and the ministers, he knew that it would definitely not be too good, which made him a little worried.

When he felt that Yang Xi was threatening him, Li Ying never expected such a scene.

What disappointed him was that in the process of the superficial fight between him and Li Lan, Yang Xi did not make any moves, hid in the mansion all day long, and promised to help but did not do it. This made him feel resentful and regretful at the same time, he shouldn't have crossed the river and demolished the bridge to Yang Xi.

He also visited Yang Xi's mansion again later, hoping that Yang Xi could help him, but of course Yang Xi agreed, and asked Li Ying not to be nervous.

Yang Xi's analysis is that although Li Jue has not made any amazing achievements now, he has not made any mistakes, let alone grudges with influential ministers in the court, in this case. Emperor Li Longji couldn't find a reason to change the crown prince.

Li Jue took Yang Xi's words as a prevarication, but he had no choice but to leave sullenly.

According to Yang Xi's judgment, Li Longji should have really moved the idea of changing the crown prince, and when he often summoned Li Ling into the palace to talk about things, he also discussed with some ministers about the character of the crown prince Li Ying and Yongwang Li Lu and other related things. Li Longji's inquiry made the ministers feel strange, but no one dared to express their opinions on this kind of matter, and most of them were noncommittal. Or think that the current prince has a good character, and Yongwang Li Lu often thinks about court affairs, which is the blessing of the Tang Dynasty and other aspects that cannot be offended.

In fact, what Yang Xi said to comfort Li Ying was right. After all, the matter of changing the crown prince is not a trivial matter, but the relationship is very important, and it may even cause turmoil in the world. Even if Li Longji has this idea now, it will take a long time to really put it into practice. For example, he had the idea of abolishing Li Heng's crown prince for a long time, but he still didn't make a decision after many years, and finally made up his mind because of Li Heng's rebellion.

But the authorities are fascinated, and Li Jue, as one of the parties involved, is far less mentality than a bystander like Yang Xi.

In the following months, Li Jue spent the next few months in this kind of gain and loss.

Because the hundred officials had reservations about changing the crown prince, Li Longji did not finally make up his mind. And because of some people's intentional or unintentional reminders, I hesitated again. After all, this is not a trivial matter, and if it is not handled properly, it will cause great turmoil in the country.

Soon the New Year will be over. As the weather turned colder, Li Longji's physical condition was not good, and he was less and less interested in thinking about it.

After tossing for a while, Li Xuan, who has fought secretly with Li Yuming many times. I felt that my father had summoned him to the palace less often, and I didn't want to consult him on some court matters, so I was a little anxious. often went to the palace to ask for a meeting, but many times Li Longji refused to see him on the grounds of physical discomfort.

This made Li Xuan even more gloomy, and also made Li Xuan breathe a sigh of relief.

During the New Year's Festival, it is necessary to celebrate, and any fight will be put down first, at least not dare to say anything blatantly. You must know that there was a major happy event in the Tang Dynasty during the year, and the military action against Nanzhao achieved a great victory. Li Ying and Li Ling did not dare to make the battle superficial during the New Year's Festival celebrated by the whole world.

But both men know that the next year will be crucial for them.

Li Longji's health is obviously much worse than the previous year, and his twilight state makes people look very worried.

During the Chinese New Year, because of the cold and the long-term recovery, Li Longji's health deteriorated, which made everyone worried.

"Shiro, Your Majesty's physical condition is getting worse and worse, my aunt is really afraid of him......" After a certain secret passion after a certain year, Yang Yuhuan said to Yang Xi worriedly: "If Your Majesty's body can't get better anymore, what should I do?" ”

Although he had expected this before, Yang Yuhuan was a little overwhelmed when it really happened. Women are inherently weak, and when they encounter this kind of thing, they always hope that the man they rely on can have ideas and handle these things well.

Li Longji's changes, Yang Xi is of course well aware. He not only found out about the situation in the palace from Yang Yuhuan, but he also secretly installed some people who he had trained around Li Longji, so that the situation in the palace was slowly grasped more clearly. There are many things that Yang Yuhuan doesn't need to tell him, and he knows it. However, there are some things that the people who put them can't find out, and they need to be told by Yang Yuhuan, which is also something that can't be helped.

Hearing the worry in Yang Yuhuan's tone, Yang Xi also hurriedly comforted: "Auntie, don't worry, although Shiro has not interfered in the affairs of the court during this time, he has been paying attention to the matter, and in less than a month, the time to keep filial piety for his father has come." Presumably, Your Majesty will let me resume all my duties and continue to do those duties. So the aunt doesn't have to worry, even if His Majesty will ...... right away No, or who you want to pass the throne to, as long as the situation is not right, Shiro can respond immediately. ”

"That's right! In less than a month, the time for you to keep filial piety for your father has come, and you can also come out to do things!" Yang Yuhuan also came to his senses, a little less worried, but still a little unsteady, "Shiro, the battle between the crown prince and King Yong has not stopped during this time, and my aunt is a little worried that they will find out everything when His Majesty is not in good health. In today's situation, my aunt also knows that if the prince doesn't have your support, then he won't necessarily fight King Yong, so ...... Auntie wants to know what you think!"

"Auntie, you don't have to worry about this, the prince and Li Jue are evenly matched, that's the best!" Yang Xi smiled and comforted Yang Yuhuan, "Auntie, as long as there are no accidents, everything is safe!"

Of course, these were Yang Xi's words to comfort Yang Yuhuan, he didn't want Yang Yuhuan to worry too much. As for whether it is safe or not, he does not dare to guarantee it. In many cases, it is up to people to plan things and things to be accomplished, and no one can guarantee that this kind of thing involves a wide range of things.

What Yang Xi can do is to arrange it as carefully as possible and strive not to make mistakes.

Yang Yuhuan may also feel that Yang Xi's words were just to comfort her, but this is not the case, after thinking about it, she asked worriedly: "Shiro, actually, my aunt wants to know how you will deal with it if His Majesty passes the throne to which prince!"

Yang Xi sensed something strange from Yang Yuhuan's words of inquiry, stared at Yang Yuhuan for a moment, and after thinking about it again, he replied: "Auntie, as long as the crown prince reveals my identity and makes me the heir of the Li family and the prince, then I will have a way to seize the throne." ”

This can be the only thing Yang Xi expects him to do for the current Li Jue.

"If you plan to do that, that's good!" Yang Xi's words made Yang Yuhuan's heart relax, but he immediately said: "Shiro, my aunt has some ideas, but I don't know if you want to know!"

"If your aunt has any suggestions, please don't hesitate to give me, Shiro will listen to you!"

"Shiro, my aunt thinks that if Your Majesty passes on to King Yong, then after King Yong ascends the throne, you have to act immediately, and you can't give King Yong a chance to arrange, or even take the power in your hands," Yang Yuhuan's face showed a Ling Ran demeanor that Yang Xi had never seen, and said very seriously: "Shiro, King Yong may know the true relationship between you and the crown prince, if he becomes the emperor, he will never allow you, so you have to strike first, otherwise you may never have a chance to realize your ideas." ”

Yang Yuhuan's words made Yang Xi very surprised, he couldn't imagine that Yang Yuhuan, who has always been weak and unscrupulous, actually had such a decisive mind, is he always wrong, Yang Yuhuan's nature is like this? Or was Yang Yuhuan too worried, so he conspired to act recklessly?

However, what Yang Yuhuan said was still good, Yang Xi thought about it, and immediately nodded in agreement, "What my aunt said is right, Shiro listens to your persuasion, if His Majesty really passes the throne to King Yong, then Shiro can only strike first." ”

"If Your Majesty passes on to the crown prince, then you can wait for a while for the sake of justice, maybe you can wait for the crown prince to pass on the throne to you. But if the crown prince doesn't have this mind after becoming the emperor, he is wary of you everywhere, and he doesn't even give you a name, then you don't have to be patient, and you can follow the example of Emperor Taizong back then!" When Yang Yuhuan said this, he also stopped, staring at Yang Xi without blinking.

Yang Yuhuan's words made Yang Xi even more shocked in his heart, how could he not come, Yang Yuhuan actually bewitched him like this today. In the final analysis, whether Li Jue is the emperor or Li Ling is the emperor, Yang Yuhuan's advice to him is to seize the throne through the threat of military advice.

That is, in Yang Yuhuan's heart, he can't wait for anyone to pass the throne to him, and he needs to take the initiative to ask for it, and fight for it with actions that go against the righteousness of the world. This woman is really resolute in her temperament, and she has never been able to see it in the past.

Of course, Yang Yuhuan's words also gave Yang Xi a lot of encouragement, and after thinking about it for a while, he immediately agreed with what Yang Yuhuan said.

"Thank you aunt for reminding me, Shiro has all remembered, and he will definitely not disappoint his aunt then!"

In fact, Yang Xi himself had already thought of this, otherwise he would not have been able to install his cronies in the forbidden army. (To be continued......)
