—— Yan Zhenqing treated him with a change of attitude and was willing to accept him as an apprentice, Yang Xi was naturally very happy.

However, he was not satisfied with having a good friendship with these historical celebrities, and he wanted to use some more means to make these people willing to be used by him. And he has to tap more talents to make his influence greater. Those who he knows about reputation, he must make friends and pull for his own use, and those who he does not know reputation, but have a very good reputation and talent, he also has to find a way to make friends.

After slowly getting along with Yan Zhenqing, Yang Xi has already paid attention to another character, that is, Li Yu.

Yang Xi knew that Li Mi was a person because he traveled through the previous era from Hangzhou to later generations, as well as the "Xiangguo Well" that he dug and benefited the people of Hangzhou.

However, there is one thing that Yang Xi is very distressed about, that is, when he is doing these things, he will inevitably embarrass his father Yang Guozhong.

Whether it is Yan Zhenqing or Li Mi, they were all released as officials because of Yang Guozhong's exclusion, or they were put up and went into hiding. Pang Zhong, Wang Sili, Lu Chongben, Gao Shi and others who were reused by him before were also similar. Yang Guozhong excludes people, but he has to work hard to win over, which seems interesting, but it is also a hidden danger, maybe because of the relationship between these characters, the father and son will clash one day.

But Yang Xi didn't have much to do, his own strength had to grow, and he had no way to win over Yang Guozhong's people, so he could only find ways to cultivate his own strength. If there is a conflict, try to resolve and avoid it.

Among these people who are trusted by him, Yang Xi admires Gao Shi and Pang Zhong the most, like Li Bai, Du Fu, and Cen Shen have just been recommended by him, and their positions in the court are not high, and their abilities have not been reflected, so they can't have too much hope, and the role of other people will have to be reflected later. Pang Zhong went to Jiucheng Palace to escort, Gao Shi stayed in Chang'an, and Yang Xi discussed many things with Gao Shi.

One day, Gao Shi hurriedly ran to Yang Xi's mansion and said that he had something very important to see. was in the house, and Yang Xi, who was flirting with his little girl Huan Ping'er, also hurriedly asked Gao Shi to come in.

"Marshal Yang, recently the lower officials heard a rumor that His Majesty the Emperor was going to abolish the crown prince," Gao Shi, who was sweating profusely, took a bowl of mung bean soup handed over by Yang Xi personally, and didn't care about drinking it, and immediately explained the meaning of today's statement, "Marshal Yang, Xiaguan came to see you today, I want to ask you, is there really such a thing?" ”

"Gao Shilang, do you think I, the young master of the armament supervisor, can know about this matter?" Yang Xi smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said left and right, "Whether the emperor will change the crown prince, I believe that only His Majesty knows about this." As he spoke, he glanced at Gao Shi meaningfully.

Yang Xi's words made Gao Shi stunned for a while, but after seeing the playful smile on the corner of Yang Xi's mouth when he spoke, he also understood a little, and after thinking for a while, he continued to ask: "Marshal Yang, the lower officials know that you have a deep contradiction with Prince Heng, if Your Majesty really changes the crown prince, it will be very beneficial to Marshal Yang." But what the lower officials are confused about is that there are such rumors in the Beijing Division, and His Majesty is not in Chang'an, this matter must have a certain impact on Marshal Yang, how does the marshal plan to deal with it? Do you want to do something? ”

Because Yang Xi will talk to Gao Shi about a lot of confidential things, Gao Shi doesn't have too many scruples in front of Yang Xi, and he will say many things directly, and it's the same today. The emperor's decision to change the crown prince was confirmed by Yang Xi in disguise, and Gao Shi knew that Yang Xi, who had a special relationship with Li Jue, the king of Yan, could not have taken action, even if Yang Xi already knew about it, Gao Shi wanted to ask for an idea.

Gao Shi's reaction made Yang Xi quite satisfied, and he also felt that there was no need to hide this person he thought was his closest trust, and he also told some of the things he knew, including the exchange of opinions between Emperor Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan and Gao Lishi on changing the crown prince, and after explaining the general situation in detail, Yang Xi said very solemnly: "Gao Shilang, you are the person I trust the most, and I will no longer hide many things from you." If Prince Heng finally becomes emperor, not only will my father be unlucky, but even I, who has made great contributions to the counterinsurgency war, will be snubbed and even convicted. You are the person who was single-handedly promoted by my Yang Xi, and you will also be unlucky, so we must not let Li Heng continue to be the crown prince and succeed to the throne as emperor. We must find a way to get His Majesty to change the crown prince. Yan Wangjun and I know each other well, he is also a kind person, I believe that if he becomes the crown prince, we will continue to be friendly. If it is not as I expected, after His Majesty returns from Jiucheng Palace, he will decide whether to change the crown prince, so we must be prepared and try to find a way to make Li Heng unable to be the crown prince. ”

Yang Xi didn't tell Gao Shi about the relationship with Li Jue, he felt that it was not the time yet, but the contradiction between him and Li Heng could be explained to Gao Shi, and the follow-up plans could also be said, so that Gao Shi was prepared.

Yang Xi said it very bluntly, Gao Shi still didn't understand, and his heart couldn't help but beat wildly.

Although Yang Xi did not directly say the relationship with Li Jue, the smart Gao Shi still smelled a little special flavor from some rumors and the interaction between Yang Xi and Li Jue before and after the attack on Luoyang. Yang Xi is bent on helping Li Jue to be the prince, and there must be an exchange of interests behind it. If Li Jue can succeed in becoming the crown prince, as Yang Xi's cronies, he will definitely have great achievements in the future.

Yang Xi's outstanding talent when he was defending Tongguan and attacking Shaanxi County, Kip Stone Fort and Luoyang made Gao Shi unimpressed, although he was worried, but he still believed that Yang Xi could succeed in the end.

As long as Yang Xi can succeed, as Yang Xi's cronies, the future will be immeasurable. Thinking of this, Gao Shi also strengthened his belief again, got up, saluted Yang Xi, and asked softly: "Marshal Yang, what are we going to do now, please make it clear!"

Yang Xi glanced at Gao Shi and said lightly: "Strive to spread this rumor more evilly, so that everyone in Chang'an knows that the emperor is ready to change the crown prince." I believe that Li Heng will definitely not be able to help but jump out and do something, what we need most now is for Li Heng to jump out and take the initiative to do something, even ...... Forcing the palace!"

"Huh?!" Gao Shi sighed lowly, his face full of consternation, but then he also understood what Yang Xi meant, and while he was apprehensive, he was also full of pride, and immediately agreed: "Marshal Yang understands what you mean, and will definitely find a way to let people walk this rumor out further!"

Yang Xi glanced at Gao Shi again, pulled out the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "Gao Shilang, don't worry about anything, the prince's actions are all under my control!" You go first, you know how to do something!"

Gao Shi was stunned again, that is, he understood what Yang Xi was referring to, and he didn't doubt that Yang Xi would win this battle, and after discussing it with Yang Xi for a while, he left in a hurry and arranged. (To be continued.) )
