Chapter 45: Ambivalence

—— On the fifteenth day of his assassination, Yang Guozhong finally came to his senses.

Previously, in order to avoid irritating Yang Guozhong, Yang Xi and Pei Rou ordered not to tell Yang Guozhong anything, but only let him recuperate, even if Yang Guozhong woke up and turned around. When the crown prince Li Heng was in turmoil, just in case, Yang Xi ordered a personal guard to wait in front of Yang Guozhong's house at night, and no one was allowed to enter without permission, let alone tell Yang Guozhong about it.

This also made Yang Guozhong basically unaware of what happened in the outside world during his serious illness.

After Yang Guozhong was completely sober and did not repeat it, Yang Xi told him about the matter again, and he said it in detail.

Unexpectedly, such a big thing happened during the time he was in a coma, and Li Heng's crown prince was also abolished, and Yang Guozhong was shocked.

"Xi'er, why didn't you tell your father about such a big thing?" After listening to Yang Xi's story, Yang Guozhong frowned, his face was pale, and he was a little strange that Yang Xi didn't tell him about it, "My father still has a little right to speak in the court, if I come forward for my father, then many things will definitely be less troublesome." When Li Heng rebelled, if there was an accident, what should I do? ”

Yang Guozhong was a little scared when he thought about it, if Li Heng succeeded, then he and his family would probably have been wiped out and disappeared forever on the stage of history. Yang Xi is too bold, he dares not to say such a thing, but to make a decision alone, if he believes that he is there, Li Heng will no longer be able to toss the wind and waves. He wanted to reprimand Yang Xi severely, and even expressed his dissatisfaction in other harsher ways.

Of course, Yang Xi expected that Yang Guozhong would be furious after knowing it, and now Yang Guozhong calmly told him that there was no outbreak, and he didn't reprimand him fiercely, he was already quite surprised, and quickly replied at the moment: "Father, isn't the child worried about your body?" Your most important injury is on your head, and the doctor said that you can't be emotional, you can't think too much about things, otherwise you are likely to leave sequelae that are difficult to cure, and you may never wake up again. The impact of this incident was very great, and the child knew that if the father heard about it, his emotions would definitely fluctuate, and the injury would be aggravated under the excitement, and he would not necessarily fall into a coma forever. Therefore, for the sake of the father's body, the child and the mother made their own decisions and did not let others tell the father about it. Also, Li Heng's rebellion started suddenly, at that time, the child and Guo Xianggong, Wei Xianggong, Fang Xianggong and others were discussing things with His Majesty in the palace, and there was no time to pass on the information to his father, so he didn't talk to his father in detail afterwards, and wanted to wait for his father to recover, and then talk to you in detail. Father, the child knows that Li Heng is in turmoil, as long as he fails, there will definitely be no good results......"

"Alas, Xi'er, you are still young and don't know the dangers in the court, how can you force Your Majesty to make a decision to punish Li Heng in public? Li Heng is like this, Your Majesty will definitely not let him go, you don't need to say too much about this, you are too public, how can Your Majesty not be annoyed with you? Fortunately, you still know how to advance and retreat, and resign due to illness, otherwise you ......" Yang Guozhong was very angry in his heart, but the matter was already like this, Li Heng's crown prince was abolished, and most of the ministers who had a gap with him were killed, exiled or demoted, and the result should be the best, and he was basically satisfied. If he had intervened, it was still unknown whether things would have turned out like this.

He was just dissatisfied with Yang Xi's self-assertion, and he didn't take him as a father seriously.

Seeing that Yang Guozhong's anger was not as big as expected, and there were signs of slowly disappearing, Yang Xi was not worried, and explained again at the moment: "Father, it was forced by the situation at that time, and my father was not in the court, and the child was worried at that time: if the child did not stand up and repeatedly ask His Majesty for this request, maybe His Majesty would soften his heart and pardon Li Heng, so he did this." If Li Heng is pardoned, there will definitely be endless troubles. Father, you really don't mind, when this happened, your injury was still very dangerous, and I was afraid that you would have an accident, so I didn't let people tell you. And this incident started because of your assassination, the son was on fire in his heart, and after knowing that the person in charge was Li Heng, he wanted to kill him with a knife to relieve the hatred in his heart. Father, the child knows that His Majesty is in his arms, so he asked Yu to resign. Father, don't worry, now your injuries are not all healed, and you can't go out to do things, the child is also recuperating in the house, and Aunt Guifei will also help us speak in front of Your Majesty, and Mrs. Guo also promised to help, they are all descendants of the Yang family, and they definitely don't want to see our Yang family in trouble, with their help to speak, Your Majesty will definitely not pursue us anymore. ”

"Hope it is as you wish!" After Yang Guozhong sighed, he didn't say anything more to blame. He didn't have the strength to say anything, his injuries hadn't healed yet, and after saying so many words, his mood fluctuated and he felt tired.

However, Yang Xi is right, when his father is seriously injured and can't get up to get into trouble, when the son should think about his father, he should fight for his father. In this regard, Yang Xi has done a better job than his three older brothers. When Li Heng's rebellion started this time, whether it was Yang Xuan, Yang Xuan, or Yang Xiao, they almost never exerted their strength in the court, Yang Xi was busy going back and forth there, and even Li Heng and his main figures were captured by Yang Xi's subordinates. This son, who is very bold and has good ability, almost led such a big palace change. Yang Guozhong was angry, but he also had to reconsider his son's ability.

Seeing Yang Guozhong gasping and closing his eyes to rest, Yang Xi couldn't bear to disturb anymore, and wanted to go out of the house after confessing his guilt.

But Yang Guozhong signaled Yang Xi not to leave first, he still had something to say.

Yang Guozhong rested for a while, opened his eyes again, looked at Yang Xi, and said slowly: "Xi'er, my father knows that your abilities in all aspects are far better than your brothers, and the three of them together are not as good as you. The hope of our Yang family can only fall on you, when your father is fully recovered, you can go out to do things, and then help you have a good life. There are many things that your father can help you with, and it will definitely be better. ”

"Thank you, Dad!" Yang Xi hurriedly got up and saluted Yang Guozhong respectfully on the couch. He knew that Yang Guozhong was not pretending to be a gesture, but a real expression of his true feelings, and his gratitude was also real. As long as Yang Guozhong can do his best to help him Zhang Luo and pave the way for him, then after Yang Guozhong retires, his future will be very bright, and he doesn't need to bother to deal with many things.

Yang Guozhong stretched out his hand and motioned for Yang Xi to sit down, and then said, "Xi'er, for my father, I want to talk to you about another important thing today!"

"If your father has any orders, please tell me!" Seeing Yang Guozhong glancing at the doors and windows while speaking, Yang Xi understood, and immediately got up after agreeing, and ordered the people waiting outside the house to stand at a certain distance, without orders, no one was allowed to come in and disturb, and all doors and windows were closed. After doing this, he walked back to the couch and listened to Yang Guozhong's instructions.

Yang Xi's reasoning made Yang Guozhong quite satisfied, and after Yang Xi sat down, he immediately said: "Xi'er, for my father, I want to talk to you about the election of the crown prince. ”

"The child wants to listen to his father!" Yang Guozhong was cautious, and Yang Xi certainly knew that this was a prelude to something very important to talk to him. Now in the court, there is one thing that can be called very important, that is, about the selection of the crown prince, he guessed that Yang Guozhong wanted to talk to him about this. It's really right, Yang Guozhong discussed this matter with him.

Because he was worried that Yang Guozhong knew that he was born to Li Jue and Pei Rou, Yang Xi was a little nervous when Yang Guozhong was about to say this.

"Xi'er, Your Majesty is already in the twilight of his life, and now that Li Heng's crown prince has been abolished, the question of the new crown prince will be raised soon, and I believe you also know who has the highest voice!" When he said this, Yang Guozhong paused slightly, looked at Yang Xi twice, and then continued: "Yan Wangyue's performance in the counterinsurgency war has raised his reputation to a very high level, and it just so happens that after the rebellion was quelled, Li Heng's crown prince was abolished again, if nothing else, King Yan will be the best candidate for the crown prince." However, his father did not want him to become the crown prince. ”

"Father, why?" Yang Xi couldn't help but ask.

Yang Guozhong hesitated for a moment, but still explained the reason directly, "Because there are rumors that Yan Wangjun and your mother have had an affair. ”

"Ah?!Father, is this true?" At this time, Yang Xi could only pretend not to know.

Yang Xi's face was very unnatural, but he immediately shook his head, "At this point, my father can't be sure, your mother doesn't admit it." But the rumors will never be unfounded, Xi'er, for my father I will tell you today, because of this rumor, I don't want King Yan to become the crown prince, I believe you can also understand the father's mind. ”

Hearing Yang Guozhong say this, Yang Xi immediately believed a sentence: one of the husband and wife cheats, and the spouse is often the last to know. Several people already know that he was not born to Yang Guozhong and Pei Rou, but Yang Guozhong is still in the dark, and when he says this today, he seems to be not sure that Pei Rou has an affair with Li Jue, is this not enough to prove that this sentence is correct?

"Father, the child doesn't know about this at all, in fact, the father shouldn't tell the child, it's better not to let the child know about this matter......" In fact, there is one thing that Yang Xi doesn't understand, when Pei Rou was pregnant with him, Yang Guozhong was in Jiangnan Dongdao, why didn't he suspect that his son was not his own? Do you really believe in the legend of the union in a dream?

"Maybe I shouldn't have told you this, but it's better for you to know for the sake of the Father!" Yang Guozhong sighed and smiled bitterly again, "But Li Jue treats you well, and you have helped him a lot, especially in this counterinsurgency war, if it weren't for you, he wouldn't have been able to make any achievements at all." If he becomes the crown prince and eventually becomes the emperor, your future is very exciting. Li Jue is indecisive and much easier to fool than His Majesty, if you look at it in the long run, you should let King Yan be the crown prince. Alas, it's very contradictory to be a father!"

"Father, let's think about this in the long run!"

"Yes! Let's think about it for my father!" (To be continued.) )
