(Thanks to the 2002 Book Friends for the two monthly passes!) ——

Seeing Yang Guozhong magically open his eyes and look at him fixedly, Yang Xi was very surprised.

"Father, you're awake, the child has come back from Qinghai to see you!" Yang Xi tightly held Yang Guozhong's hand, which was much thinner than before, and said very sadly: "Father, the child is not filial, and you didn't stay by your side when you were seriously ill......"

Yang Guozhong had already recognized Yang Xi, a smile appeared on his face, hooked his fingers, squeezed Yang Xi's hand holding him, and shook his head gently.

Yang Xi didn't know what he meant, and he didn't know what Yang Guozhong meant by shaking his head.

Pei Rou, who was waiting on the side, was very surprised when she saw Yang Guozhong's appearance, she immediately went out and personally called the imperial doctor who was waiting outside to come in and treat Yang Guozhong. The imperial doctor also came in soon and hurriedly examined Yang Guozhong, but during the examination, Yang Guozhong kept his eyes open and held Yang Xi's hand tightly. The imperial doctor did not find out any reason for the examination, and was finally waved away by Yang Xi.

"Xi'er, let your mother go out too, because my father wants to talk to you alone!" In Yang Xi's accident, Yang Guozhong actually spoke.

Yang Xi looked at Pei Rou with tears in her eyes, and then at Yang Guozhong with a face full of hope, and finally asked: "Mother, then you go outside to rest first, and the child will accompany his father to say a few words." ”

After thinking about it for a while, Pei Rou finally stood up and walked out with her eyes wiped her eyes.

Yang Guozhong pointed to the doors and windows, Yang Xi understood, walked over and closed the doors and windows, and pulled the curtains around Yang Guozhong's sickbed, so that their words would not be overheard.

"Father, you have been asleep for a long time, and you have just woken up, so it is better to rest for a while, the child is here with you, and when the father recovers. Let's talk to the children again!" Seeing Yang Guozhong closing his eyes tiredly again, Yang Xi couldn't bear to persuade him a little: "Father, the child has just arrived in Chang'an today, the war in Qinghai has subsided, and the Tubo people in Qinghai and Anxi have all been annihilated by my Tang army, father, you don't have to worry about anything, the future Datang will definitely be stronger and more prosperous, father, you just need to recuperate with peace of mind." ”

As soon as Yang Xi talked about this, Yang Guozhong's eyes lit up. But he still shook his head. and raise the other hand. waved and motioned to Yang Xi not to say anything yet. After gasping for breath vigorously, he said softly: "Xi'er, you come back today, and wake up for your father." What a pleasure...... Still...... You have brought such good news, and you are so proud of your Father. With you, the Yang family will not be weakened, and there is no regret for being a father. ”

Yang Xi just interjected, but was stopped by Yang Guozhong, so he had to keep silent.

"Xi'er, my father didn't expect that your military strategy was so outstanding, and this expedition to Qinghai actually wiped out the Tubo people. And captured Shang Jiexi, your military exploits, looking at my Tang Dynasty hundred years, there is no one who can compare. When you return from this expedition, Your Majesty will definitely reward you and elevate your duties. I believe Your Majesty will not disappoint you and me!" Yang Guozhong looked at Yang Xi with a loving face, and a little smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Xi'er, I think you also know that if your father continues to serve as a minister, Your Majesty will definitely be afraid and will not promote your position again and again." Now he should not worry about this, and you should not worry about this, because for for the father he has to write a resignation letter and resign himself to His Majesty, and do nothing. ”

Hearing Yang Guozhong say this, Yang Xi was taken aback again, "Father, why are you doing this?" When you are well and can come out again to do things, Your Majesty has not removed you from your ministry, why should you resign yourself? ”

Yang Guozhong shook his head vigorously, "Xi'er, my father's illness can't get better, I believe you also know that time is running out for your father!"

He smiled miserably as he spoke. This made Yang Xi's heart sour, and he couldn't help but have red circles in his eyes, and almost burst into tears.

No matter how notorious Yang Guozhong is in history, but in the end, it is the father who raised his body to grow up, and loves him very much and takes care of his son who is not his own, for which Yang Xi is grateful. Now Yang Guozhong, who is on the sickbed, is still concerned about his son, who is not his own, and even plans to resign from his position, and said that time is running out, how not to make Yang Xi sigh.

"Father's body can't be better, I know this!" Yang Guozhong smiled miserably and motioned to Yang Xi not to interject and continue to listen to him.

Yang Xi had to accept what he wanted to say and listen to Yang Guozhong.

"Xi'er, for my father to know, you are not my biological son!"

"Ahh Father ......" Yang Xi was taken aback again, he didn't expect Yang Guozhong to even say such a thing, and he didn't know how to express it.

Yang Guozhong waved his hand again, signaling Yang Xi to just listen, and then said: "But my father never knew who your mother was with whom she gave birth to you, but now I finally know......"

"You are the son of the crown prince Li Jue, I believe you already know it, and this should be the reason why you helped Li Jue ascend to the crown prince!" Yang Guozhong looked at Yang Xi with an inquiring expression.

Yang Xi didn't dare to deny it, and after thinking about it, he nodded, "Yes, father, the child already knows about this, but he doesn't dare to tell his father." ”

Yang Guozhong showed a miserable smile again, slowly closed his eyes, and said after a while: "Xi'er, my father thought that after you knew that I was not your biological father, I would have other plans, and I would leave everything between me and my father for this plan, but now it seems that the worry about my father is superfluous, and you still regard me as your father." ”

"Father, of course you are my father, always will be!" Yang Xi tightened Yang Guozhong's hand again, "Father, you better take a rest, and talk about it when you have something to say." ”

Yang Guozhong still shook his head firmly, refusing Yang Xi's kindness: "Xi'er, if you don't say some things today, you may never have a chance to say them again in the future." Listen to it, if the Father doesn't ask you, don't interject. ”

"Yes, Father!" Yang Xi had no choice but to agree. He also saw that Yang Guozhong seemed to be a little back to light, maybe his days were running out.

"Xi'er, for my father, I ask you, do you want to be a member of the Yang family or the Li family in the future?"

"The child will always be a member of the Yang family, and he will always be the son of his father!" Yang Xi replied without a little hesitation.

Yang Xi's answer made Yang Guozhong very satisfied, and finally showed a relieved smile, closed his eyes and gasped again. Yang Xi didn't ask anything, let alone persuade anything, he knew that Yang Guozhong still had something to say.

After a while, Yang Guozhong opened his eyes again, but his eyes were full of exhaustion, Yang Xi was sad again, and wanted to persuade him, but Yang Guozhong, who knew his thoughts, waved his hand and signaled Yang Xi not to say anything.

Yang Xi had to swallow the words back into his stomach again.

"Xi'er, Li Ying relied on your help, as well as the help of your concubine aunt and your father-in-law Guo Xianggong to become the crown prince, he has no foundation, even if he works hard in the past two years, there is no way to lay a solid foundation, if His Majesty abdicates or ...... in these two years Even if the prince becomes the emperor, it will be difficult to convince the public. Li Jue's ability is average, I believe you also know......"

After Yang Guozhong said for a while, he stopped to catch his breath, and after a while, he continued: "He definitely doesn't dare to offend you now, your father-in-law and your concubine and aunt must also try their best." However, my father would like to remind you that if a person like Li Jue has been on the crown prince for a long time, his influence will not be less than that of Li Heng. Because Li Heng has always been against his father, and he has been at odds with Li Linfu before, the crown prince has not been able to sit firmly, but Li Heng is different, he will not conflict with others, at least he will not conflict with you and your father-in-law now. The ministers of the DPRK and China all know that Li Jue became the crown prince because of the support of you and Guo Xianggong, and they take it for granted that his father also fully supports him. For the sake of you, Guo Xianggong and the old man, they won't treat Li Heng like that......"

Speaking of this, Yang Guozhong suddenly paused, lowered his voice and asked Yang Xi sternly: "Xi'er, for my father, I asked you, do you want to be the emperor?" ”

Yang Guozhong's inquiry made Yang Xi startled, and he didn't know whether to admit it or not, but after thinking about it, he still didn't deny it: "Father, when the prince sought support, he personally promised that as long as he became the prince and finally ascended the throne, he would definitely pass the throne to the child." The child also agreed to him and believed his promise. ”

Yang Xi's words made Yang Guozhong a little surprised, and he smiled again, "That's fine." Since he has promised, he must find a way to make him do it. Although Li Jue has many sons, although Li Ju is quite capable, Li Jue promised you like this, and your reputation in the court is so high, Li Ju is definitely not your opponent. Xi'er, come here, for my father to tell you a few words. ”

Yang Guozhong motioned for Yang Xi to lean his ear over, Yang Xi hesitated for a moment, and immediately leaned over.

Yang Guozhong attached himself to Yang Xi's ear, whispered for a while, and finally raised his voice slightly: "Xi'er, this Tang Dynasty is the Li family, the biggest for his father, but after all, he is only a minister of the Tang Dynasty, but you are different, you can do many things, since you have all the opportunities, then you don't give up the opportunity, grasp it well, for my father, I hope to see you win the Ninety-Five Honor under the Nine Springs." ”

Listening to Yang Guozhong's instructions close to his ear, Yang Xi's heart couldn't help but speed up, he didn't expect that Yang Guozhong would teach him so many methods, at this moment, he felt that he was not the emperor.

If what Yang Guozhong said is true and what he says can be done, then the world of Datang is in his pocket.

"Xi'er, this expedition, you must find a way to get a higher position, your father will also ask for your life in the resignation book, I believe Your Majesty will not agree, after you get a higher position, then do what your father said, I believe that Li Ying will be completely vacated by you in the end, and the throne is within your reach!"

"Father's ......"

"Xi'er, help your father up, write your resignation for your father now!"
