Hearing Yang Xi's question, Yang Guozhong couldn't help but sigh, and replied helplessly: "Xi'er, it is precisely because my father has not yet thought about which prince to appoint as the crown prince, so he has no strength to suggest that His Majesty should change the crown prince as soon as possible." Li Heng is at odds with his father, but his father is also afraid that the newly established prince will be like this with his father, which will add more trouble, so he ...... Daddy is having a hard time now. ”

In this matter, Yang Guozhong did not hide and deceive Yang Xi, and directly explained his meaning and troubles.

Because they knew that the emperor had the intention of changing the crown prince, many of Li Longji's sons were plotting for the crown prince and had been preparing to move, and people like Yang Guozhong who were in power must have tried their best to win them over and wanted Yang Guozhong to support them.

But Yang Guozhong is also a scheming person, and he will not easily agree to this kind of thing no matter what.

He hoped that the person he supported was someone who would give him more power and glory, or someone who could listen to him and be controlled by him, but he had not yet discovered such a person. Some princes who he felt were more in line with his requirements, he also maintained a relationship that was neither salty nor light.

After listening to Yang Guozhong say some information, Yang Xi could only answer helplessly: "Father, it's a pity that the child is even less familiar with His Majesty's sons, and I'm afraid there is no way to give you advice on this matter!"

"My father also understands this," Yang Guozhong nodded in agreement with Yang Xi's statement, but immediately said, "But Daddy still wants to talk to you about this!"

"I have a close relationship with my father and have a good relationship with the sixth prince Rongwang Li Wan, the thirteenth prince Ying Wang Li Xuan, the sixteenth prince Yongwang Li Xuan, the twentieth prince Yanwang Li Jue, and the twenty-sixth prince Feng Wang Li Heng, but unfortunately Rong Wang Wan died of illness after the outbreak of the An Lushan rebellion, and the thirteenth prince Ying Wang Xuan. The temperament is cowardly, the sixteenth prince Yongwang Ling is too scheming, and the twenty-fourth prince Pian Wang Jue is quite good, but ...... "Yan Wang Li Jue's matter, Yang Guozhong started, but he didn't know what the reason was, he didn't go on, but directly talked about Feng Wang Li Jue, "The twenty-sixth prince Feng Wang Jue is quite in line with his father's intentions." It's just that this person is too scheming, because his father is afraid that he will cross the river and tear down the bridge, and help him to the crown prince, he will turn his face and deny people, and even in the end, he may not be able to do black hands for his father. Alas!"

Yang Guozhong said, sighed helplessly, and sat down next to Yang Xi again.

"Father, it turns out that you already have a plan, but you haven't made a final decision." Yang Xi was quite surprised.

He also lamented that Li Longji's fertility is too strong, with 30 sons and 29 daughters, so many children have been born. He may not be able to remember what it is called, nor may he know what it looks like. There is an even more troublesome thing that it is difficult to decide who to appoint as the crown prince, so many sons. Most people want to be the crown prince, especially after Li Longji revealed that he wanted to abolish the crown prince of Li Heng.

Yang Xi didn't have time to sigh, let alone think too much. Yang Guozhong also began to tell some entanglements about the establishment of the crown prince.

Li Longji's eldest son Li Cong was not made the crown prince, but was posthumously presented as the crown prince after Tianbao's eleventh year of illness and death, and the second son Li Ying was made the crown prince in the third year of Kaiyuan, but in the twenty-fifth year of Kaiyuan, under the framing of Concubine Wu Hui and Yang Hui, Li Ying was deposed as a concubine and given death together with Li Yao, the king of Hubei, and Li Ju, the king of light. At that time, Li Longji was very difficult to appoint who was the crown prince, and finally listened to the persuasion of Gao Lishi's words of "should be established", and appointed his third son Li Heng as the prince.

Li Heng was grateful to Gao Lishi because of this, and always called Gao Lishi "second brother".

Because Gao Lishi won the favor of Emperor Li Longji, the power leaned towards the government and the opposition, many court affairs were his ideas, no one was not afraid of him, and they all showed great respect for him, the kings called him "Ah Weng", and attached to the horse called "Ye". After Li Linfu's death, Yang Guozhong was favored, but the only person Yang Guozhong was afraid of and dared not provoke in the court was Gao Lishi, it can be said that to a large extent, Yang Guozhong was favored and still failed to surpass Gao Lishi. If it weren't for Gao Lishi being a eunuch, the position of the head of the hundred officials would definitely fall on Gao Lishi's head, not Yang Guozhong's. It is precisely because Gao Lishi is extremely favored by Li Longji, and Li Heng's crown prince was established at his suggestion, even if Li Longji dislikes Li Heng very much and has the idea of abolishing it several times, but because Gao Lishi does not agree, he has been dragging it out.

After saying a lot about the prince and about Gao Lishi, Yang Guozhong sighed with emotion: "Xi'er, if there were no Gao Lishi, many things in the DPRK and China would not be so complicated!"

Yang Xi knew that at this time, he could no longer be indifferent and did not express his opinion, and immediately said: "Father, the child knows that if the crown prince Li Heng ascends the throne as the emperor, then the glory of our Yang family cannot continue, so the child supports his father's suggestion that His Majesty change the crown prince!" And my father should take advantage of the current time when the world is in turmoil, so that His Majesty can make up his mind and make another prince the crown prince. ”

Hearing Yang Xi say this clearly, Yang Guozhong was very surprised, and then a happy state appeared: "Xi'er, you can support Daddy's proposal, Daddy is very happy." Daddy knows that you are the smartest of the brothers, and you are the most helpful to Daddy. Now that you have returned to Beijing, it is also a good thing, you are now in charge of Zuolong Wuwei, but you have not officially performed your duties, and your father will suggest that Your Majesty take advantage of your return to Beijing this time to officially receive this task. If you receive Long Wuwei, many things will be much easier to do, and your father will be more confident in doing things. ”

Hearing Yang Guozhong say this, Yang Xi's heart jumped, wouldn't Yang Guozhong have any thoughts of military advice? However, Yang Guozhong's subsequent words immediately dispelled the doubts in his heart.

"Xi'er, Li Heng has the support of Gao Lishi, and His Majesty may not be determined to abolish it, but Li Heng has been the crown prince for many years, but His Majesty has not passed the throne to him, and after the rebellion, although he has expressed such a meaning several times, he has never done so. His Majesty has expressed his intention to abolish the crown prince several times, he must be very anxious, afraid that the crown prince will be lost," Yang Guozhong said this, and after a pause, he said: "If he feels that His Majesty wants to change the crown prince very strongly, then he must not be able to help it, maybe he will take some action." If this is the case, it will definitely annoy Your Majesty, and it is not necessary for Your Majesty to make a decision immediately. ”

Yang Xi was stunned and immediately understood what Yang Guozhong meant, Yang Guozhong meant to force Li Heng to take action, if Li Heng couldn't help it, took action, and wanted to emulate Li Shimin back then, then he could take the opportunity to put him to death.

Li Longji will not tolerate Li Heng's actions.

However, if Li Heng really does this, and if he wants to be invincible in the battle with him, the key is to catch the forbidden army in his hands, otherwise it may be a great trouble, and Yang Xi also fully understood the meaning of what Yang Guozhong said just now.

Yang Guozhong was glad that he came back at this time, and was ready to let him immediately go to perform the duties of Zuo Longwu General. (To be continued......)
