—— In the Daming Palace, the extremely corrupt Li Ju quickly ran into Li Jue's bedroom.

"Father, there is a rumor in Chang'an City, saying that Yang Xi is your biological son," Li Zhuo, who was panting, didn't wait for Li Jue to retreat the people around him, so he couldn't wait to say: "Father, the rumors in Chang'an City are boiling, saying that it is precisely because Yang Xi is your biological son that he supports you to ascend the throne." Father, is this true? ”

Li Jue listened and stayed there, and he didn't even hear what Li Ju said later.

"This must have been spread by Yang Xi, he is threatening me!"

Li Jue gritted his teeth in his heart, and his anger showed on his face.

"Father, is this true?" Seeing Li Jue's angry look, Li Ju asked in a low voice again. He has driven away the palace people and eunuchs on the side.

Listening to Li Zhuo's inquiry again, Li Jue looked at his son who was full of anxiety a little embarrassed, thought about it again and again, and finally nodded, "Zhuo'er, yes, Yang Xi is the biological son of his father." ”

"Huh?!" When he heard this rumor, he felt that it should be true, but when it was confirmed by his father, Li Zhuo was still taken aback, and couldn't help but stammer, "Father, is this true?" Is Yang Xi really your biological son? He's Yang Guozhong's son? How so? ”

"Here's the thing!" While trying to stabilize his emotions, Li Jue, who was slightly embarrassed, also told Li Zhuo about the general situation, and Li Zhuo, who listened directly, was angry, but he didn't dare to attack.

"Father, that's how it is. That...... This matter must have been spread outside by Yang Xi, the purpose of which was to force your father to recognize him as a son and crown him king!" Although he was facing his father who was the emperor, Li Zhuo's anger in his heart couldn't be hidden, and he vented it vigorously. "Father, does he still want to force you to make him the crown prince when he does this?"

These words hit the sore spot in Li Jue's heart, and his face was a little deformed, but he didn't want to admit it in front of Li Ju, so he could only vaguely agree: "Maybe it's possible!"

"Father, how are you going to deal with it?"

"Don't be in a hurry about this matter, just deal with it slowly, aren't they just rumors?" Li Jue tried to make herself appear relaxed.

However, Li Jue soon couldn't get more relaxed, at the court meeting on the third day. Soon, a minister raised this issue in the palace.

"Your Majesty, there are rumors in Chang'an City, saying that Yang Shangshu is your biological son, I wonder if Your Majesty knows about this?"

It was Gao Shi who played this matter in the palace, and he got Yang Xi's intention and desperately raised this point at the court meeting.

Many ministers have already heard this rumor, because they don't know that many people in Chang'an City and even in the palace are talking about it. However, knowing is completely different from whether or not you dare to propose this meaning to the emperor in the palace. Gao Shi's words frightened many people. But more people are curious, wanting to know what the truth of the matter is and how the emperor will deal with it.

Yang Xi stood at the head of the hall expressionlessly, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

When the temple was asked this question by the minister. I don't know what words to describe the anger and embarrassment in Li Jue's heart, but he also knows that Yang Xi, the person concerned, was present today, and Gao Shi inquired like this. He couldn't help but answer.

looked at Yang Xi, Yang Xi also happened to look at him, and the two looked at each other for a while. And immediately dodged away. But both of them saw the meaning in each other's eyes. Yang Xi saw panic, embarrassment, and overwhelm in Li Jue's eyes, while Li Jue saw indifference, mockery, and even a little smug in Yang Xi's eyes.

There was silence in the hall, so quiet that even the rough voices of many people could be heard clearly, and everyone's eyes were hovering around the emperor Li Jue in the hall and Yang Xi who was standing in His Royal Highness.

In the end, it was Li Ying who spoke hard: "I have never heard of what Gao Aiqing played......"

As soon as he said half a sentence, he noticed that Yang Xi's shocked eyes looked at him, and he couldn't help but tremble, quickly took his mouth, and coughed lightly twice to hide his nervousness, but finally did not deny it.

"But listening to Gao Aiqing's performance today, I also know. Yang Xi Yang Aiqing is my biological son, that's right. I originally wanted to tell the world about this matter in a few days, but since it is being spread inside and outside the palace, let's make it clear to Zhong Aiqing today. Yang Xi was born to me, as for how this happened, I hope Zhong Aiqing doesn't have to pursue it, it was a foolish thing I did when I was young. The identities of me and Yang Xi's father and son, both of us already know. In this way, I will issue an edict today, recognize Yang Xi's son, change his name to Li Xi, and confer him as the king of loyalty......"

After the insincere words came out, Li Jue himself felt a little broken. He didn't expect to be so coerced by the ministers when he was the emperor, and he admitted Yang Xi, an illegitimate child, without any face. At this time, he didn't know what words to describe the anger in his heart, if there was a knife in his hand, he would pounce and kill Gao Shi and Yang Xi with a knife. In the past, he always felt that when he became an emperor, he was high, and anyone had to listen to him, and no one dared to dismiss him, but he didn't expect that things would be like this at all.

Li Jue's announcement surprised the ministers again, I really didn't expect that the thing turned out to be true, Yang Xi, the youngest prime minister in the Tang Dynasty, turned out to be Li Jue's biological son!

The current situation is very interesting, that is, Yang Xi has been made a prince, but he is still serving in the political affairs hall and serving as the secretary of the military department. Today, Li Jue did not announce the dismissal of Yang Xi from these positions, that is, Yang Xi will still hold these positions in the next time. This is also very rare in the history of the Tang Dynasty, and under normal circumstances, the prince will not hold these positions, unless it is wartime, or special circumstances.

Li Ying was sad to death, and after announcing the matter, he immediately brushed his sleeves and left.

His Royal Highness's ministers gathered together and discussed in twos and threes.

Yang Xi stood in the hall for a moment like a nobody, and then prepared to leave.

The ministers they met all came over to congratulate Yang Xi on winning the prince's knighthood.

But everyone's eyes are complicated. This kind of thing happened in the court, happened to the emperor and the hot ministers in the court, it was so shocking that many people couldn't accept it for a while, and of course the weird feeling on their faces couldn't be hidden. However, there is another aspect that many agile ministers have in mind, and that is the question of the selection of the crown prince. Since Yang Xi has been recognized as a son by Emperor Li Jue, what will happen next? Yang Xi, who has such power and influence now, overshadows any prince in the court, even the emperor's eldest son Li Zhuo is completely incomparable with Yang Xi. Who will the crown prince appoint, this is a question that many ministers have been thinking about when they walked out of the Daming Palace.

After the court was dispersed, Yang Xi also went to discuss things with Li Yu, Gao Shi and others. They know that after this incident, the situation between the DPRK and China will be turned upside down, and there will definitely be some people who cannot bear it anymore and will make some moves.

Yang Xi was right, Yongwang Li Lan was anxious after knowing about this.

He was fully aware of Yang Xi's influence in the court, and knew that the current emperor's power was no match for Yang Xi. Yang Xi has become Li Jue's son, so for him, I don't know how much more difficult it is to succeed.

He also went back to gather his cronies to discuss matters immediately after this court meeting.

"Your Highness, according to what the last general thinks, you must act as soon as possible, otherwise there will be very big trouble!" Liang Cheng, the lieutenant general of the Zuo Yulin Army, who was very trusted by Li Lan, said to Li Lan impatiently: "Your Highness, Yang Xi has become the emperor's son, this incident happened suddenly, the people in the palace must be surprised, it is better to take advantage of the panic in the palace now, act as soon as possible, maybe we can catch the emperor and Yang Xi off guard, as long as the palace is controlled, then the possibility of His Highness succeeding is very high; If he succeeds in forcing the emperor to abdicate, then His Highness will be able to inherit the throne as a matter of course. ”

As a close confidant of Li Lan for many years, Liang Chengke has been preparing, and the soldiers of the forbidden army he trained are all good at fighting, if the other guards in the palace are not prepared, they can succeed in one fell swoop. If they succeed in supporting Li Lan, then they will be the ones who have made the greatest achievements, and it will not be a problem to be promoted to the rank of knight in the future.

Another lieutenant general, Li Bao, also immediately echoed, "Your Highness, what General Liang is doing, we must act as soon as possible, otherwise there will be many dreams at night, and the left and right dragon guards in Yang Xi's hands are not easy to deal with." We must act as soon as possible, so as not to make a mess, rush into the palace, control the emperor, and force the emperor to abdicate, then the matter will be easy to do, even Yang Xi will not dare to make a mistake. We still have thousands of left and right Jin Wuwei to mobilize. ”

Hearing Liang Cheng and Li Bao say this, the others immediately followed suit.

Everyone said this, how could Li Lan not be moved, and after pacing a few steps with his hands behind his back, he immediately made a decision: "Then Gu will act according to your suggestions." As he spoke, he immediately walked to the map of the Daming Palace laid out on the case, pointed to the location of the Xuanwu Gate and said: "General Liang and General Li's department is guarding the heavy Xuanmen Gate and the Right Yintai Gate, which is very close to the Xuanwu Gate. The Xuanwu Gate has only more than 1,000 troops, and the town general Wu Ping is separated from you, you can make the deception open the city gate, and then kill it. As long as the Xuanwu Gate is opened, then our plan will be half successful. ”

After Li Lan explained the general meaning, he immediately made more detailed arrangements, what specific functions his subordinates had, and what to do when there was chaos in the palace. Liang Cheng, Li Bao and others also expressed their opinions, and in the end, Li Lan integrated everyone's opinions and adjusted the deployment slightly.

The deployment stopped, and everyone went to prepare.

Tonight will be the time for them to act.

However, neither Li Lan nor his subordinates knew that their plan was soon informed to Yang Xi, and Yang Xi was already waiting for them to start acting. (To be continued......)
