This was a situation that Yang Xi had never expected, which surprised him, and he immediately felt the seriousness of the situation.

When Yang Guozhong was assassinated, it was at night, and Yang Xi was playing "games" with the little girl Ping'er in his house at that time. After hearing the urgent report that Yang Guozhong had been stabbed, he immediately rushed back. The curfew had already begun, and there were almost no people on the street, Yang Xi galloped on the street, and it took less than a quarter of an hour to arrive at the Wei State Mansion.

He also quickly figured out the situation, Yang Guozhong was stabbed when he was about to go to his house after finishing his work, on the way back to his house, the assassin shot less than a mile away from the Wei State Mansion, hiding in a big tree on the side of the road, shooting Yang Guozhong who was riding back home with a bow and arrow. Yang Guozhong was hit by two arrows in his body, one arrow in **, and one arrow in the neck, he was seriously injured, but his luck was not very bad, and he was not shot in the most critical part, so he would not die.

But because of too much bleeding, it is also angry.

Yang Xi after understanding the situation clearly, he asked people to urgently ask for a doctor, and immediately instructed Yang Zheng, who came with him, to order Yang Dong, who had already gathered people and was ready to secretly arrest the murderer, to find out the matter and arrest the murderer no matter what.

According to the guards who followed Yang Guozhong's guard, there were two murderers, and after they succeeded, they immediately climbed over the wall and entered the nearby square and disappeared, and Yang Xi also arranged the order to pursue according to this clue.

Sitting in front of Yang Guozhong's couch, when comforting his crying mother Pei Rou, Yang Xi also blamed himself.

He neglected many things, and he didn't expect that someone would have the courage to assassinate the first assistant of the dynasty, his father, who was known as the head of the hundred officials of the Tang Dynasty. Originally, there were quite a lot of generals in the Wei State Mansion, but during the Tongguan crisis last year, Yang Xi led his troops to rescue Tongguan, and Yang Guozhong let most of the generals belong to Yang Xi, and there were less than two hundred generals left in the mansion. The guards who were trained by Yang Xi personally and had very good skills still let them follow him, and did not let any of them follow Yang Guozhong's side to escort them.

It can be said that the number of guards around Yang Guozhong is not very large, and his skills are not very good.

Yang Xi never thought that someone would dare to assassinate Yang Guozhong, he felt that no matter how rampant the opponent was, he would not do it. This is a very stupid thing, if this is done by the crown prince Li Heng, assassinating Yang Guozhong, not only will they not get any benefits, but will lead to burning, Li Longji, who is furious, will never give Li Heng a good color. But Yang Xi also believes that this must be one of Li Heng's methods, and they will definitely have more means to use in the future, maybe the next day is the time for both sides to show their knives.

Yang Guozhong's assassination made Yang Xi feel a little sad, in the end, this father gave him a lot of care, a father should have care, Yang Xi will never deny this. It was this feeling of family affection that made him extremely angry under self-blame, and vowed to find out the murderer no matter what, and avenge Yang Guozhong. In addition to this feeling, he was a little glad that the opponent was too calm to do such a stupid thing, as long as it was confirmed that it was Li Heng who did it, then Li Heng's crown prince position would not be 100% guaranteed.

Another point, Yang Xi was originally worried that his father would add to his father-in-law's power, and the emperor Li Longji and other ministers in the court would be worried, but now that Yang Guozhong is seriously injured, it is not certain whether he can recover. If Yang Guozhong can't go back to the court to do things from now on, then Li Longji will have a lot less scruples, and he, a newcomer to the Yang family, will have more to say.

To a certain extent, this is an opportunity, and the opportunity given to him by God must be cherished.

Just in case, Yang Xi also immediately sent an order to Pang Zhong, ordering Pang Zhong to personally sit in the Zuolong Wuwei camp to strictly prevent chaos in the palace. Then inform Guo Ziyi of this situation, as well as those close people he thinks, including Gao Shi, Li Chengguang, Lu Chongben, Wang Sili and others, and let them prepare for each other, strictly prevent chaos, and let Gao Shi come to see him in a while.

Soon, a doctor was invited to treat Yang Guozhong. In fact, before and after Yang Xi's arrival, there were already people in the house who knew how to treat Yang Guozhong. The arrow shot at Yang Guozhong was taken away, and the wound was treated, and the next step was to ask the doctor to administer some medicine to avoid infection and other situations that would aggravate the injury. According to several doctors, Yang Guozhong's injuries were very serious, but he had no worries about his life for the time being, so Yang Xi put a snack. After knowing that Yang Guozhong was temporarily worry-free, Yang Xi also asked his brothers and his mother Pei Rou to take care of Yang Guozhong, and he entered the palace to ask to see the emperor and ask the emperor to investigate the matter thoroughly.

When Yang Xi rushed to the direction of Xingqing Palace with his personal guards, the streets were already full of people, and all the people and horses in Jingzhao Mansion had been dispatched to search for the murderer in the whole city. Li Longji, who heard the news of Yang Guozhong's assassination, had already sent someone to send someone to discuss the matter with the ministers of the court, and when Yang Xi rushed to Xingqing Palace, he was directly invited in.

Before the other ministers came, Yang Xi met with Emperor Li Longji, who was full of anger and his face was a little distorted.

Li Longji had already fallen asleep, and after being woken up by Gao Lishi, who got the news, he was a little annoyed, and when he heard that Yang Guozhong had been assassinated when he returned to the palace from the palace, the anger in his heart burst out like a volcano. However, Li Longji is an extraordinary person in the end, and he is old again, so he quickly controlled his emotions, made some arrangements, and summoned those important ministers in the court to come over to discuss matters.

"Shiro, how is your father's injury?" As soon as he saw Yang Xi and didn't wait for him to give a salute, Li Longji asked eagerly.

"Your Majesty, my father is seriously injured, the imperial physician in the palace has arrived and is diagnosing and treating, according to the imperial physician, there will be no worries about the surname for the time being," Yang Xi said, and pleaded with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, the murderer is so rampant, he has so blatantly assassinated important ministers of the imperial court, and I also ask Your Majesty to issue an order, strictly investigate, and the murderer must be brought to justice!"

"I will definitely investigate it strictly, and I will not give up until the murderer is brought to justice! It's too rampant, I dare to assassinate the prime minister of the dynasty, I will never stop there," Li Longji was extremely angry, but calmed down, after pacing two steps, he stopped in front of Yang Xi, and asked Yang Xi with cold eyes: "Shiro, who do you think will attack your father?" ”

Yang Xi looked at Li Longji's gaze, and finally shook his head: "Your Majesty, this minister doesn't know, and he doesn't dare to make judgments, only after catching the murderer and interrogating him to make a confession, can he understand!" Your Majesty, the minister is willing to lead someone to investigate this case, and I implore Your Majesty to hand over this case to the minister to be responsible, and the minister will definitely track down the murderer and the instigator behind the scenes. ”

After thinking about it, Li Longji also nodded in agreement: "Well, that's fine, I know that your methods are not ordinary, so let people lead the investigation of this matter, and we must investigate this case as soon as possible, and there must be no mistakes!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister will definitely live up to his mission, bring the murderer of his father to justice, and find out the master's envoys," Yang Xi hurriedly agreed.

At this time, the other people who were called also came to the palace one after another, Wei Jiansu, Guo Zhiyi, Fang Xuan and others all looked worried after the ceremony, and no one knew the seriousness of this matter. After Li Longji asked Yang Xi to tell everyone present about the general situation, he immediately asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of this matter?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this must have been assassinated by His Royal Highness the Prince!" Jingzhao Yin Wei Fangjin was the first to stand up and express his opinion, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always had a personal grudge against Yang Xianggong, and since this period of time, it has been rumored in Beijing that His Majesty wants to change the crown prince, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must think that this is caused by Yang Xianggong's presentation of his feelings in front of His Majesty, and the resentment against Yang Xianggong's affirmation is getting bigger and bigger, and finally he can't help but assassinate him." ”

Wei Fangjin's words surprised everyone present, even Yang Xi. He didn't dare to accuse this so clearly in front of the emperor that this was done by the crown prince Li Heng, didn't prove it, otherwise it would make Li Longji have another opinion. But he didn't expect Wei Fangjin, who had always been cited by Yang Guozhong as a cronie, to dare to say this, and he admired this person's courage a little. He also breathed a sigh of relief.

If this comes out of other people's mouths, it will definitely have an effect, and if there are more people who think so, the effect will be more obvious.

After being shocked, Xiao Hua, who was reappointed as the squire of the Constitutional Department, immediately stood up and refuted Wei Fangjin: "Wei Zhaoyin's words are too arbitrary, now that the murderer has not been brought to justice, and the matter has not been investigated clearly, how can it be determined that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to assassinate him?" Only when the murderer is brought to justice and under strict investigation and interrogation can it be determined who committed it! Who dares to deny that this is not a bitter meat ploy? ”

Xiao Hua's words made the atmosphere in the hall tense all of a sudden, Yang Xi couldn't help it, stepped forward, faced Xiao Hua, and asked in a cold voice: "Xiao Shilang is saying that this is a bitter trick directed and acted by his father?" ”

It is a good thing that there is a-for-tat situation between ministers, and Yang Xi now hopes that such a situation will appear.

Yang Xi's cold stare revealed a murderous intent, which made Xiao Hua, who had always been calm, couldn't help but stir up, but he still said stiffly: "Young Eunuch Yang, this is just a certain assumption, before the matter is investigated, everything may exist, didn't Wei Zhaoyin just say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince instructed someone to assassinate Yang Xianggong?" I'm just talking about things, nothing else, just assumptions, Young Eunuch Yang, don't think too much!"

"Okay, don't quarrel with each other!" Li Longji, who was woken up and went to sleep, felt very annoyed by the whole person, and impatiently interrupted the words of several people, "I have already asked Yang Xiaoaiqing to investigate this matter, and everything will be decided after the case is clarified." I have summoned you today, in addition to discussing this matter, I also want to discuss the arrangement of all matters in the political hall. Yang Aiqing was stabbed and seriously injured, although there is no worry about her surname for the time being, it is impossible to come out again in a short period of time. He can't be in charge, so I can only choose another person to temporarily preside over the affairs of the government. Guo Aiqing, you are calm, I order you to temporarily preside over the affairs of the government hall on behalf of Yang Aiqing!"

Guo Ziyi was stunned for a moment, he never thought that the emperor would hand over such a heavy task to him, but he didn't shirk it, and immediately responded to the order.

Wei Jiansu, the right minister who was standing on the side, was a little uncomfortable on his face. (To be continued.) )
