Chapter Ninety-Five: Unexpected
—— The impeachment of Yang Xi by the officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory was finally disposed of by Li Longji lightly.
Li Longji believed that Yang Xi was "filial piety" during the period of filial piety, and Yang Guozhong resigned from all positions to him after his death, and did not participate in the major affairs of the court and politics after that. Because the matter of military reform was handed over to Yang Xi to deal with, he, as the emperor, originally wanted to "regain his affection" and let Yang Xi deal with filial piety. It's just that he was afraid that Yang Xi would be blamed by the world, so he didn't do it.
He was blamed for not using Yang Xi for "seizing affection", and if he "regained affection", I don't know how many people would impeach Yang Xi.
"I have my own number of things about Yang Xi, sometimes it's just to ask him for some opinions, don't talk about Yang Xi's affairs anymore!" This is what Li Longji said when he rejected the impeachment of Yang Xi by officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory.
The emperor said this directly, and the officials of the Yushitai did not dare to insist on their own opinions, accusing Yang Xi of not following the "filial piety" during the period of filial piety, and the accusation of being involved in court affairs was also disposed of.
However, after refuting the impeachment of the officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory, Li Longji still summoned Yang Xi into the palace to talk about the matter.
"Shiro, I don't know why someone would impeach you for such a thing, but I still want to advise you not to have too much interaction with other ministers in the DPRK and China during the period of filial piety, so as not to let people gossip again!" Li Longji also directly gave Yang Xi a "warning".
But before Yang Xi could speak, Yang Yuhuan, who was sitting next to Li Longji, spoke: "Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that those who accuse Shiro have misunderstood. After Shiro returned to the court, his father became seriously ill and soon died. At this time, Shiro had just been appointed by His Majesty as the secretary of the military department to preside over the reform of the military system, and the military affairs of his leading army had not been completely handed over. In this case, it is impossible for him to hand over all the affairs of the court to others at once, and he will not care about anything. If this is the case, the officials who took over his affairs will definitely not be able to figure out the situation. Shiro also occasionally asked about some court affairs during the period of filial piety. It is because of these things. Your Majesty can't blame Shiro for being responsible, right? If that's the case, then Shiro will be too wronged! You say, don't you? ”
Yang Yuhuan said this, Yang Xi couldn't say anything that he wanted to plead guilty to, so he could only stand there in a daze, waiting for Li Longji to say anything.
After listening to Yang Yuhuan's words, Li Longji looked at Yang Xi, then at Yang Yuhuan, and finally sighed and said, "What Yuhuan said is also reasonable, I have too many ministries for Yushiro. Alas, I didn't expect Guozhong to die so soon. I always thought he would be able to come to his senses again. Do things for me. Share worries for the country. As a result, many things were in a hurry, and there was no one to take care of Shiro's ministry. Well, don't mention this now. I'm also kind-hearted, and I love Shiro to say that. Yuhuan. I'm not accusing him, I'm worried that his reputation in the court will be damaged!"
"Thank you Your Majesty for your care, and I am grateful!" After hearing Li Longji say this, Yang Xi hurriedly stepped forward to salute and thank him, "Thank you also Your Majesty for refuting the impeachment of the minister's recital, so that the minister can avoid disrepute." From today onwards, during the period of filial piety, the minister did not dare to do anything rude, and stayed in the house with peace of mind. Filial piety for his father. Otherwise, not only will Your Majesty be disappointed, but your father under Jiuquan will also be sad. ”
Yang Xi's expression made Li Longji feel a little more comfortable, and said with a smile: "Shiro, among the four of you brothers, your father appreciates you the most. I also appreciate your intelligence. It can be said that everything you get now is all in exchange for your ingenuity and merit. Although I know that some people will be jealous of you, they will secretly accuse me of being too partial to you, and some people will say that you are too young to hold a high position. But I still give you a lot of use, and I hope you don't let me down. ”
"Your Majesty, the minister will not let you down!" Yang Xi puffed up and agreed, looking proud.
Li Longji showed him an unusual favor, which made Yang Xi a little puzzled.
He himself knew that his performance and closeness to Li Longji would not make Li Longji behave like this. There is almost no personal relationship between him and Li Longji, and the two of them have not talked about things in private a few times, let alone about private matters. He knows that Li Longji and Yang Guozhong will say everything, and the closeness of the two is manifested in both public and private aspects. And he doesn't have too much personal relationship with Li Longji, and Li Longji treats him so well, the possible reason should be Yang Yuhuan's role in it.
Right! It must be that Yang Yuhuan said good things about him in front of Li Longji from time to time, which made Li Longji feel that he, the heir of the Yang family, was almost a perfect person, a person who was completely useful and did not need to be wary, otherwise it would not be like this.
Yang Yuhuan's words Li Longji believed very much, and Yang Xi also thought that this old emperor would definitely not expect him and Yang Yuhuan to have a leg. But Yang Xi doesn't have any guilt, because in the matter of men and women, Li Longji will not be nobler than him, he must be a hundred times more evil than him, and even his own daughter-in-law will rob him.
He was at ease with everything, and if it was possible for Yang Yuhuan to give birth to an heir for him, he would not feel that he owed Li Longji anything.
A person is invincible if he is shameless, Yang Xi believes in this sentence. If you want to win the position of the Ninety-Five, there are many times, and you can't take too much care of your face. With such a mentality, Yang Xi is much more at ease when he does evil things.
He never believed in the phrase "if you want people not to know, unless you don't do it", there are too many things in the world, and no one knows them after doing it. No matter what era it is, there are countless doubtful cases, and there are many "mysteries" that are difficult to explain, which prove that as long as one person does things secretly, others will not know.
In the next few days, continue to do what should be done, and continue to pretend as it should be, this is what Yang Xi thinks in his heart.
Three days after this incident passed, Yang Yuhuan summoned Yang Xi into the palace alone to talk about it.
Maybe Yang Yuhuan has the same idea as Yang Xi, or maybe Yang Yuhuan just thinks that Yang Guozhong is not Yang Xi's biological father, Yang Xi has done a good job of abiding by filial piety, and it is not very important in her heart whether to be very strict with filial piety for Yang Guozhong. Therefore, when he summoned Yang Xi alone, he couldn't wait to be happy, and behaved like Mrs. Qiuguo, which made Yang Xi cry and laugh.
Women are "thirty like wolves, forty like tigers," this is really not bad, many times Yang Yuhuan and Mrs. Qiu Guo behaved like this, Yang Xi felt that he was a little raped by them. However, at this time, Yang Xi also showed "ability to bend and stretch", since they like to take the initiative and are willing to push her back, let them get their wish. Let them put in some hard work and sweat, and let him enjoy it too.
The longing in his heart had been stored for too long, and it was quickly released, and Yang Yuhuan looked very satisfied.
After a fast-food passion, Yang Yuhuan also began to get down to business.
"Shiro, you know what? Now His Majesty is not too satisfied with the performance of the crown prince!"
"Oh?!" These words immediately attracted Yang Xi's attention. He originally thought that Yang Yuhuan summoned him to the palace just to have a passionate relationship with him, but he didn't expect that there was really something important to say, "Auntie, do you mean that Your Majesty has plans to set up another prince?" ”
Yang Yuhuan didn't deny or admit it, but said according to his own meaning: "During this time, Yongwang often entered the palace to ask to see His Majesty, discuss the world's major affairs with His Majesty, and discuss current affairs!" And His Majesty is still quite common sense about Yong Wang Lu, and he has praised Yong Wang Ling in front of his aunt more than once. However, my aunt didn't care much about it before, and yesterday His Majesty inadvertently said that King Yong's talents in all aspects are far more than the prince, and he is more decisive than the prince in everything he does. From this sentence, my aunt can understand that His Majesty is not very satisfied with the prince's performance. Maybe, there will be plans to change the crown prince. ”
"Also, the performance of the crown prince and the king of Pengcheng during this period of time is too obvious, and many people can see that they are trying to strengthen their power and desperately win over the ministers of the court, which makes Your Majesty worried!" Speaking of this, Yang Yuhuan paused and then said softly: "Shiro, although His Majesty did not explicitly say that he wanted to change the crown prince, nor did he tell any of the ministers about it, my aunt knows that he already has such thoughts in his heart. Alas, Your Majesty is old, and many things are indecisive, and he is not as decisive as before. Shiro, you have to prepare early to save yourself the time when you are caught off guard!"
"Thank you aunt for the reminder, Shiro must keep it in mind, and he will be on strict guard, and strive to straighten out everything and control it!"
After Yang Xi thanked Yang Yuhuan, he immediately left the palace. After returning to his house, he lay on the couch alone and thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with some ideas. After coming up with a little idea, he immediately ran to Guo Ziyi to talk about it.
"Ziliang, the fight between Yongwang and the crown prince may be a good thing!" After Guo Ziyi heard what Yang Xi said, he stroked Xu You and said with a smile: "The current prince feels that you are his biggest threat, and the king of Pengcheng County is even more so. If King Yong jumps out and wants to fight for the crown prince's throne, then the prince will definitely come to your aid if he feels another threat, hoping to get your help and fight against the threat of King Yong. That would be a great good thing for you, and the prince would definitely not dare to openly tear his face with you, and he would try to reconcile with you, and he would reaffirm his promise again, so you wouldn't have to worry about anything. ”
"What my father-in-law said is very true, my son-in-law has been taught!" In fact, Yang Xi also thought of this when he returned to the house to think about it, and he guessed that if the crown prince Li Jue knew this, he would definitely be nervous. Now among the remaining sons of Li Longji, in terms of strategic ability, it should be the best of the Yongwang Li Lan, and Li Ying also knows this, and he will definitely feel threatened. Afraid that the crown prince will be taken away, then Li Ying will definitely unite all the forces that can be united and work hard to defend his crown prince.
"Ziliang, you should reveal this matter as soon as possible, so that the prince knows that His Majesty has the idea of appointing another prince!"
"Father-in-law, son-in-law knows!"
