—— After arranging the matter and putting all the soldiers and horses in the city on the highest alert, Li Longji also ordered the ministers to disperse and go back to sleep by himself.

After leaving Xingqing Palace, Yang Xiao did not return to the house immediately, but together with Guo Ziyi, he came to Daming Palace, the Yamen of Zhongshu Province, where the political hall is located, and he wanted to discuss some things with Guo Ziyi.

"Ziliang, your father was assassinated, you must be very sad, fortunately, Yang Xianggong has no surname to worry about, I believe that after a period of recuperation, it should be fine!" After Guo Ziyi comforted Yang Xi first, she immediately lowered her voice and asked, "Ziliang, who do you think will attack your father?" ”

"It must be someone who disagrees with his politics!" Yang Xi did not hide his anger in front of Guo Ziyi, and immediately said his opinion, "During this time, it is rumored that His Majesty is going to change the crown prince, and I believe that the prince must be very worried about his position." The crown prince and his father have always had political disagreements, and his father has suggested several times in front of His Majesty that other princes be renamed the crown prince, and the prince will definitely think that this is the cause of his father, and it is difficult to tolerate it under resentment, so I think that this matter is likely to be sent by His Royal Highness the Prince, but before the evidence is found, it can only be speculation. ”

"Don't you think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's intention is too obvious when he does this?" Guo Ziyi asked quietly, "Don't you suspect that someone blames the prince for this matter?" ”

"It's possible!" Yang Xi fully agreed with Guo Ziyi's opinion, "Some people want to covet the crown prince, and are not satisfied with their father's status and influence in the court, it is completely possible to come up with such a time to kill two birds with one stone." But maybe the crown prince also thought the same way, and felt that no one would suspect him of doing it, so he dared to do it once, and set up some doubts to lead the matter to other princes. ”

He suddenly thought of Li Jue, the king of Yan, his biological father.

Yang Xi's analysis made Guo Ziyi stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but smile a little bitterly, Yang Xi completely misunderstood what he meant. However, he also had to admit that what his son-in-law said was quite reasonable. But he still didn't completely eliminate the suspicions in his heart, and then asked tentatively: "Ziliang, do you think that in addition to the possibility that the crown prince or other princes planned this matter, will there be anyone else?" ”

Yang Xi was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Guo Ziyi suspected that he had sent someone to do it, and then blamed the crown prince, so as to achieve the goal of letting the emperor change the crown prince, and striking Yang Guozhong again, eliminating his influence in the court.

This surprised him, how could his father-in-law think like this?

But after thinking about it, I immediately understood why Guo Ziyi had such thoughts.

Guo Ziyi already knew that he was not born to Yang Guozhong, and he had a prejudice against Yang Guozhong, and he wanted to support Li Jue, the king of Yan, as the crown prince, and then establish the identity of the heir of the Li family through Li Jue, and then finally win the world. In order to achieve such a goal, many things will definitely be done by unscrupulous means. sent someone to assassinate Yang Guozhong, and then blamed the crown prince Li Heng. Getting rid of these two very influential people in the Tang Dynasty at the same time is definitely a good thing for him who wants to break out of the world. Yang Guozhong is in the court, which invisibly puts pressure on him, and there are fewer opportunities to be further promoted to important positions, and no one wants to see the father and son control the court, in that case, the world doesn't know whether the surname Yang or the surname Li is. In this case, it is not surprising that he, who very much wants to do something further, does something incredible.

And Guo Ziyi has also seen his skills, and the abilities of his subordinates are also known to many people, and it will not be difficult to let those subordinates carry out the task of assassinating a certain person.

Yang Xi understood the reason why Guo Ziyi thought this way.

"Father-in-law, although he is not my biological father, he is the father who raised me!" Yang Xi looked directly at Guo Ziyi and said very firmly: "Father-in-law, no matter what kind of person he is, I will never do such a despised thing!"

Of course, Guo Ziyi believed what Yang Xi said, and smiled and signaled Yang Xi not to explain anymore, "Ziliang, the old man believes in you, and I also believe that you can find out this case clearly." Okay, don't delay you in doing things, you go and arrange it first, since Your Majesty asked the old man to preside over the affairs of the government hall on his behalf, then I will definitely take charge of it first, and I will also take care of the things that should be undertaken!"

"Father-in-law, if this is done by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I believe that this is only one of his means, and the follow-up means will definitely be used, and even launch a mutiny, and it is possible to follow His Majesty and Emperor Taizong**," Yang Xi said with a solemn face: "The son-in-law has asked Pang Zhong to take charge of the Zuolong Wuwei camp, just in case there is a change, I hope that my father-in-law can be prepared to deal with it." ”

Guo Ziyi was slightly startled in her heart, even her pupils contracted, and she nodded immediately, "Ziliang, the old man knows, you go, leave it to me here, you don't have to worry." ”

"Then the son-in-law will go first!" Yang Xi didn't say anything more, and after saluting Guo Ziyi, he retreated, and immediately took his personal guards to Jingzhao Yin Yamen to preside over the investigation affairs-

In Chang'an City, chickens and dogs jumped all night, and a large number of Jingzhao Yin Yamen's catchers and forbidden army soldiers ran back and forth on the streets, searching for assassins. But Yang Xi knew that with the skills of those two assassins, he would definitely not be able to catch these fast arrests and forbidden army soldiers, and if he wanted to capture the murderer, he still had to rely on his own people. If his men were still ineffective, then the two Assassins were too skilled.

When Yang Xi arrived at Jingzhao Yin Yamen, Gao Shi, who received Yang Xi's news, also rushed over.

Jingzhao Yin Wei Fangjin personally led the arrest in the yamen to carry out the search and arrest task, and the Jingzhao Yin Yamen was in charge of Yang Xi.

"Marshal Yang, who assassinated Yang Xianggong?" After Gao Shi arrived, he immediately asked Yang Xi about the issue he was most concerned about, and he thought that Yang Xi was aware of this problem.

But Yang Xi shook his head, "I don't know yet, but what is certain is that either the crown prince instructed someone to do it, or King Yan sent someone to do it!" Or ......" Yang Xi originally wanted to say that he was the emperor, but thinking that it was impossible, he stopped talking.

"Prince? King Yan? Gao Shi repeated, and after thinking about it seriously, he hesitated and said: "Marshal Yang, the lower officials think that it is likely that King Yan sent someone to do it." If he assassinates your father and blames the crown prince, everything will be fine. There is no one in the court who can cover the sky with one hand, and the position of the crown prince falls on him again, so ......"

"There is some truth in that, but it is not conclusive yet, everything will not be known until the murderer is captured, and I hope that the murderer will be captured as soon as possible!" Yang Xi originally firmly believed that this must be the means of the crown prince Li Heng, the purpose is to eliminate Yang Guozhong from the top, and there are follow-up means to consolidate his position as the prince, and even force Li Longji to pass on the throne and take charge of the world of the Tang Dynasty. But when Gao Shi said this, he was skeptical of the initial judgment. Maybe it's really Li Ying who is most likely, his biological father is too low-key and abnormal during this time.

Li Jue has a lot of sons, it is impossible for each of them to be incapable, if their father and son form an alliance to do things, the strength should not be underestimated, not to mention that Li Jue is still hanging the post of marshal of soldiers and horses, which is a bit appealing. Yang Xi felt that he was a little negligent in guarding against his biological father, and he was even a little suspicious that Li Jue's performance was deliberately mediocre in the counterinsurgency war. Born in the royal family, he has heard and witnessed many fights since he was a child, none of them are kind people, and no one can guarantee that Li Jue is not a person who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger.

Thinking of this, Yang Xi also immediately sent Yang Zheng, the deputy captain of the personal guard who was following him, to come in and ask him to personally bring some people to the vicinity of Yanwangfu to find out the situation. Yang Zheng also went quickly. After Yang Zheng disappeared into the night with people, Gao Shi accompanied Yang Xi, who was frowning, and carefully asked, "Marshal Yang, if it is really King Yan's doing, then what should we do?" ”

Yang Xi thought about it with a cold face, and then said softly: "I hope it wasn't him." If he really did it, then I can't help it!"

Yang Xi's words startled Gao Shi, looked at Yang Xi with doubts, and asked softly again, "Marshal Yang, do you mean to bring King Yan to justice?" Let him completely break off the idea of being a prince? ”

"That's not what I meant!" Yang Xi shook his head, looked directly at Gao Shi, and said very seriously: "Gao Shilang, I have always regarded you as the person I can trust the most, and I have to talk to you about some things today." Whether this incident was directed by King Yan or not, I will support him as the prince, and as for what will happen to him after he becomes the prince, that is for the future. I can't say more about it now, but let me tell you, no matter what King Yan does, I will snatch his fruits in the end, do you know what I mean? ”

Gao Shi was taken aback again, but he somewhat understood what was going on, combined with Yang Xi's previous performance and some news revealed to him, he somewhat guessed what Yang Xi was going to do. But he still couldn't completely turn the corner, and asked again: "Marshal, if after a thorough investigation, it is really concluded that everything was done by King Yan, then how can Yang Xianggong explain it?" ”

"I've already thought about this, and I also believe that the prince won't be indifferent after knowing about it!" Yang Xi said, revealing an unfathomable smile, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be most looking forward to this kind of thing happening, even if it is not his doing, or he is doing it, he will lead the finger to others." There are already rumors that the emperor wants to change the crown prince, so let the rumors become true!"

These words shocked Gao Shi's heart again, and he also understood Yang Xi's plan in this incident.

"Marshal, the subordinate understands what you mean!"

"Okay, you just do what I tell you to do!" Yang Xi smiled, "I believe that in a few years, there will be a position for you among the prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall!"

"Thank you Marshal for taking care of you!" Gao Shi was full of pride in his heart, and he immediately went to do things.

Watching Gao Shi leave, Yang Xi took a deep breath, and immediately asked people to pass orders to Li Han and Liu Feng to pass on his meaning to them.

No matter who assassinated Yang Guozhong, since the incident has already happened, then Yang Xi must let this incident develop in the direction that is most beneficial to him no matter what. Saion lost his horse, but he didn't know if it was a blessing, and his carelessness this time might be able to get great success! (To be continued.) )
