—— Guo Ziyi's experience reminded Yang Xi of another very famous figure in the history of the Tang Dynasty, that is, the legendary Li Shixian.

Before Li Shimin died, he said to Li Zhi: You have no favor for Li Shixian, it is difficult to control this character, I am now ready to demote him to a foreign official, after I die, you will recall him back and give him a very high official position, he will receive your favor, and he will definitely do his best for you. Then Li Shimin sent Li Shichang as the governor of Diezhou. After Li Zhi ascended the throne, he immediately recalled Li Shichang back to Beijing and entrusted him with important posts.

Since then, Li Shiyun has shown "loyalty" to Li Zhi, and he has not even objected to such a major event as Li Wu Zetian.

Because of the appearance of Yang Xi, although there is a certain gap between Guo Ziyi's achievements and Li Shiyun's, they are also similar figures, whether it is qualifications or merits, there are not many people in the Tang Dynasty who can compare. Li Longji except for Guo Ziyi's right to participate in political affairs before his death, Li Jue was enthroned as the queen, whether he would be reinstated, this is something Yang Xi wants to find out very much.

During Li Longji's serious illness, Li Jue often accompanied him, and many times the father and son stayed alone, and there must have been secret discussions between the two. Whether it is Yang Yuhuan or Yang Xi's people in the palace, it is impossible to eavesdrop on all the conversations between father and son, what kind of communication between Li Longji and Li Jue on court affairs, Yang Xi naturally can't fully know, he can't guess what Li Jue will do after he becomes pro-government.

"Father-in-law, after you say that the new emperor is in power, will he follow Emperor Gaozong and make you into the political hall again?" Because he had doubts in his heart, when he talked to Guo Ziyi once, Yang Xi naturally asked this question.

Many days have passed since the incident, Guo Ziyi's mood has calmed down, and she hides in the house all day long, living in a simple house, and does not receive visitors. Even if he was a former subordinate, the only one who could find him directly was Yang Xi, his son-in-law, and he was a little open. Hearing Yang Xi ask like this today, he was a little upset again, which he didn't expect, he didn't put himself at the height of Li Shixian, he didn't think that Li Longji would treat him like this, imitating what Emperor Taizong Li Shimin and Emperor Gaozong did back then, and he didn't know how to answer at once.

"Ziliang. This old man doesn't know, but according to my thoughts, it's basically not possible!" Guo Ziyi shook his head with a wry smile, and asked Yang Xi again: "Ziliang, have you ever thought about why Your Majesty did this before he died?" ”

Yang Xi looked at Guo Ziyi, lowered his voice and said, "Maybe Your Majesty wants me to become one of the ministers who take care of my life, so I took off your official position as my father-in-law, and I don't let you participate in political affairs." If both of our sons-in-law are ranked as ministers of care. His Majesty must have been worried about the loss of power, and the power of the new emperor would be emptied after he ascended the throne, so he did this. If you continue to be ranked in the political hall, then the son-in-law will not have such a chance. It is very likely that the official position he bears will also be dismissed, or he will be sent out as an official, and it is not certain that he will be appointed as a moderation envoy in any place. ”

Yang Xi learned some news about this from Yang Yuhuan at that time, and Li Longji had planned to let him go to work outside. However, under the repeated persuasion of Yang Yuhuan and Mrs. Qiu Guo, this plan was abandoned. The two sisters said that their common little lover was an indispensable figure in Datang, and said that if they didn't give him reuse. That is the huge loss of Datang, coupled with Yang Guozhong's new funeral, Yang Xi should not be allowed to leave Chang'an. In the end, under the repeated persuasion of the two women, Li Longji changed his original intention and let him continue to stay in Beijing and become one of the four ministers who took care of his life.

Yang Xi believed that he could stay in Chang'an and become one of Li Jue's four ministers who took care of his life, which had a lot to do with the pillow wind blown by Yang Yuhuan and Mrs. Qiuguo. If it weren't for these two women who often said good things about him in front of Li Longji, then Li Longji would definitely not be as reusing him as he is now. From another point of view, the energy he has put into these two women in the past few years has paid off. If it weren't for the two years of serving these two women well, and allowing them to enjoy a lot of physical and mental satisfaction, this would not have happened.

Although he may be reused by Li Longji with his talent and Yang Guozhong's relationship, it is impossible for him to be ranked in the political hall when he is only in his twenties. Through the kind words of the two women, he gained such power now, and Yang Xi felt very strange in his heart.

Those who achieve great things must be unruly and use all kinds of means - in the end, he can only comfort himself with such reasons.

I have to reuse it, and Guo Ziyi, as my father-in-law, will definitely be left out in the cold, this is the conclusion that Yang Xi came to immediately after Guo Ziyi was deposed, otherwise their department will have too much power in the court, and Li Jue will definitely not be able to control it, which Li Longji will definitely take into account. It's just that the father and son have discussed something, whether they will confess everything, including the identity relationship between him and Li Jue, which Yang Xi doesn't know, so he can't guess how Li Jue will treat Guo Ziyi in the end, and whether he will copy the fate of Li Shiyun.

Guo Ziyi asked him about the situation, and he could only explain it like this, of course, the tone of his voice was quite helpless.

After listening to what Yang Xi said, Guo Ziyi was silent, and said after a while: "Ziliang, after Your Majesty's mourning period is over, there may be a storm in the court, this turmoil must be related to you, maybe it is also related to the old man, you have to be prepared." Perhaps, in order to stabilize his throne and power, the new emperor will do many things that you and I can't imagine, and you must not relax!"

"Thank you father-in-law for reminding me, my son-in-law will definitely be on guard if he knows!"

A trace of coldness flashed on Guo Ziyi's face, and he said in a cold voice: "Ziliang, according to the old man's opinion, the new emperor will probably not tell the world about you and his identity after he is kissed, if this is the case, then you must find a way to reveal this matter, let everyone in the world know, and let the ministers ask the new emperor about this matter in the court!" If such a scenario really occurs, then you must seize the opportunity to let the new emperor fulfill his promise, if he does not fulfill his promise, then your relationship will be very stiff, and he will definitely not tolerate you continuing to be in the court, and will take action......"

Speaking of this, Guo Ziyi stopped talking, and Yang Xi understood what Guo Ziyi didn't say. That's when Li Jue attacked him, and that was when he fought back and fought for the final victory. Many things are easy to do if you tear your face, but you are afraid of half-covering them.

After being reminded by Guo Ziyi in person, Yang Xi accompanied his father-in-law for a while and left.

Because he had to deal with court affairs on behalf of the emperor, Yang Xi rarely returned to his home during this time. I don't know what the reason is, some time ago, that is, after Yang Xi had just finished keeping filial piety for Yang Guozhong, Guo Xin, Ping'er, and Xiaoyu were pregnant at about the same time, which made Yang Xi happy and very depressed at the same time. The three wives and concubines were pregnant almost at the same time, and he didn't even have a chance to vent his body at home, so he could only go to Yang Yuhuan or Mrs. Qiuguo, but now that Li Longji has died, this kind of thing naturally can't be done anymore, and he has been abstinent for several days.

I have something to do every day, so I don't think much about these things, and because I am worried in my heart, I don't feel that there is anything missing.

After Li Longji's death, the affairs of the court were mainly handed over to the four prime ministers of the political hall, Fang Xuan, Li Mi, Yang Xi, and Zhang Hao. Except for Yang Xi, the other three are rich in this experience, and Yang Xi has mainly led troops in the army over the years, and has been in contact with some military-related court affairs, and he does not have much experience in dealing with other civil affairs and other matters, relatively speaking, compared with the other three, he lacks the ability to deal with court affairs. However, his soul came from the afterlife, and he had more insight than the other three, and in some important aspects, he was able to point out the pros and cons and express some opinions that were different from ordinary people, which surprised the other three.

Although Fang Xuan, Li Mi, Yang Xi, and Zhang Hao were the ministers designated by Li Longji before his death, there were still two prime ministers in the political hall, Yan Zhenqing and Li Lin, none of them were incompetent, and they were involved in the discussion of many things, but the final decision was in the hands of Fang Xuan, Li Mi, Yang Xi, and Zhang Hao. But Yan Zhenqing and Li Lin will not give up the opportunity to express their opinions because of this, most of the court affairs they have their own opinions, and when they disagree with others, they will fight on the basis of reason.

Because Yan Zhenqing and Yang Xi had a master-apprentice relationship, Li Mi was recommended by Yang Xi to join the court, and in just a few years, because of his outstanding talent, he was reused by Li Longji, and finally ranked in the political hall and was elected as the minister of life. Because of this relationship, Yan Zhenqing and Li Mi are almost the same in dealing with court affairs, and Fang Xuan has always had a dispute with Yang Guozhong, and is very dissatisfied with Yang Guozhong's arbitrary power, so he also has a similar attitude towards Yang Xi, and Zhang Hao has been repeatedly promoted because of Fang Xuan's recommendation, and Li Lin and Zhang Hao have a good relationship, so the three naturally formed an alliance, these three people and Yang Xi, Yan Zhenqing, and Li Mi often have different opinions on many things, and sometimes the differences are quite big, almost-for-tat.

The six prime ministers and the four ministers in the political hall are almost divided into two factions, and the number of people is the same.

This may be the real reason why Li Longji elected these six people into the political hall in the first place and made four of them ministers who care for their lives!

Only when there is a dispute can there be mutual supervision, so as not to cause unauthorized power, and Yang Xi also really woke up to Li Longji's good intentions at the beginning.

Yang Xi can only smile bitterly at all this, and he often speculates about what kind of situation will occur after Li Jue becomes pro-government.

The days always pass quickly, three months have passed in a blink of an eye, Li Longji's mourning period has ended, and the new emperor Li Jue, who has ended his filial piety, has also begun to officially govern and deal with court affairs, and the power in the hands of the four ministers has also been deprived of some power.

However, just when Li Jue began to pro-government and tried to slowly grasp the power of the court, another very surprising thing happened in the court.

This incident started because of the Yongwang Li Lan! (To be continued......)
