—— Ever since he knew his true identity, a seemingly unrealistic thought immediately rose in Yang Xi's heart, and this thought became stronger and stronger as the situation changed. And in order to finally achieve this goal, it is far from enough to rely on an identity, the most important thing is to have your own strength, and have a group of loyal supporters and followers. After this counterinsurgency campaign, his subordinates have already recruited many figures, Gao Shi, Pang Zhong, Liu Guangting and others can be said to be hardcore supporters, although Wang Sili, Lu Chongben, Tian Liangqiu and others are far from being able to compare with the previous ones, but under certain circumstances, they should not rise up to oppose him, but will support him.

But this is far from enough, he has to recruit more people for his own use, a good man and three gangs.

Therefore, he will find a way to arrange a ministry for those recommended by Gao Shi.

He also believes that people like Gao Shi will definitely not be mediocre in their talents, and they will always be capable.

With his efforts, Li Bai, who was originally very down, was appointed as the chief secretary of the ordnance superintendent, and the position of the eighth grade; Du Fu was reappointed as a member of the household department, and he was promoted from the sixth grade. Cen Shen served in the military department, and he was also a member of the Liupin.

Yang Xi's arrangement for these historical celebrities was mainly based on their life history in the original history. To be honest, whether it is Li Bai or Du Fu, their political ability is not outstanding, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a political novice, their achievements are mainly on the top, but Yang Xi hopes that these people who are already forty or fifty years old can change and make some achievements after being supported by him.

After Yang Xi arranged these people properly, his father Yang Guozhong sent someone to Guo's mansion to propose marriage.

Guo Ziyi also fulfilled her promise to Yang Xi and agreed to the marriage.

Because Yang Yuhuan repeatedly said in front of Emperor Li Longji, Li Longji did not object to this marriage.

In the following time, the two governments are also preparing for the marriage.

The preparations for the marriage are mainly in charge of Guo Ziyi's wife Wang and Yang Xi's mother Pei Rou, and Yang Xi and Guo Xin, who are the parties, do not have much to do before welcoming their relatives.

Yang Xi didn't know much about ancient marriage customs and etiquette, and he also listened to his mother Pei Rou's arrangement, letting him do whatever he wanted.

The family matter was settled, and Guo Ziyi also regarded Yang Xi as a son-in-law, of course, because of Yang Xi's outstanding military exploits and huge influence in the DPRK during the counterinsurgency, Guo Ziyi must have treated him differently.

"Ziliang, there is something I want to ask you about today!"

One day, Yang Xi went to visit Guo's mansion in the past, and when he looked at his fiancée by the way, he was called by Guo Ziyi to inquire about things.

"If your father-in-law has any problems, please feel free to ask!" Guo Ziyi wanted to say something to herself, but Yang Xi was of course not surprised, "As long as the son-in-law knows something, he must know everything." ”

"Let's go to the study and talk!" Guo Ziyi said, gestured to Yang Xi, and walked in the direction of the study.

Yang Xi also agreed, and immediately followed.

After the two came to the study, Guo Ziyi ordered the subordinates waiting outside, that is, Guo Ming, the leader of his personal guards, to stay outside the study, and no one was allowed to enter without his permission.

Guo Ziyi's order made Yang Xi immediately feel abnormal, his quasi-father-in-law, what he wanted to say today was different.

"Ziliang, let's sit down and talk slowly!" Guo Ziyi also seemed to feel that her actions made Yang Xi confused, and smiled at Yang Xi and said: "Actually, there are not too many things, it's just that Xin'er is going to get married, and I want to know some things!"

Although Guo Ziyi said this, Yang Xi knew that this could only be regarded as an "opening statement", and what he was going to say next must be unusual. He suddenly thought of something, and as if a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, he guessed what Guo Ziyi was going to say. but

He didn't take the initiative to say anything, but waited for Guo Ziyi's inquiry.

Guo Ziyi is a soldier, his surname was originally very straightforward, and his years of experience in leading the army have not changed his surname, and he has already regarded Yang Xi as a son-in-law, so he directly asked a question that he wanted to figure out very much: "Ziliang, the old man wants to ask you, are the rumors about your life history true?" ”

"Why did my father-in-law ask this question all of a sudden?" Yang Xi asked rhetorically.

Just now, he suddenly thought of Guo Xin asking him about his life experience, and immediately guessed that Guo Liyi should have asked him to talk about things alone, so there was no surprise. But he still wanted to figure out why Guo Ziyi suddenly asked this question after agreeing to his marriage and preparing for the wedding.

Guo Ziyi was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Yang Xi to ask him back, and after thinking about it for a while, he still replied: "The old man just wants to figure it out, Xin'er wants to marry you as his wife, and in this matter, the old man doesn't want to be confused all the time." I believe you also know about this, the old man hopes to talk to you in detail, maybe in many things, the old man can help you in the future!"

Hearing Guo Ziyi say this, Yang Xi was slightly taken aback. Could it be that Guo Ziyi already knows a lot of things, and even knows about his relationship with Li Jue, otherwise how could he say this?

Seeing Yang Xi's hesitation, Guo Ziyi didn't ask anything, but just stared at Yang Xi, waiting for Yang Xi to answer his question.

Yang Xi hesitated, but decided to tell Guo Ziyi something, and said softly at the moment: "Father-in-law, those rumors are indeed true. ”

"Oh!" After Guo Ziyi answered, she did not continue to ask, but listened to Yang Xi's continued narration.

"Yang Xianggong is not my biological father, I have confirmed this from my mother, I believe Yang Xianggong also knows about this!"

"Oh, I didn't expect it to be so!" Guo Ziyi sighed lightly, and then fell silent again.

Yang Xi didn't think about telling Guo Ziyi that he was Li Jue's son now, Guo Ziyi didn't ask, and he didn't say anything anymore, but sat quietly.

"No wonder His Royal Highness King Yan trusted you so much when attacking Luoyang!"

Guo Ziyi's sudden words surprised Yang Xi again. As long as he is not too stupid, he can immediately understand what Guo Ziyi means by this.

It turned out that Guo Ziyi had already guessed that he was Li Jue's biological son, and now he just wanted to confirm it. However, Guo Ziyi did not say it explicitly, and he did not explain further.

"Ziliang, the old man heard rumors in the court that the emperor wants to abolish the crown prince, I believe you have heard about it!" Guo Ziyi was a little dissatisfied that Yang Xi didn't explain this matter to him carefully, but he still said the most important thing he was going to say today, "The old man wants to ask you today, if the prince is deposed, which prince do you think is the most suitable to be the prince?" ”

Guo Ziyi has already said it to this extent, how dare Yang Xi not do it, he quickly got up at the moment, and saluted Guo Ziyi: "Father-in-law, I believe you have also guessed that Yan Wangjun is my biological father." King Yan asked for his life to go on the expedition this time, naturally to improve his prestige and want to obtain the position of the crown prince. If Prince Heng is deposed as the crown prince, then the person who the son-in-law wants to support must be Yan Wangjun!"

"You've already discussed this?" Guo Ziyi continued to ask expressionlessly.

Yang Xi hesitated for a moment, but still told the true situation: "Yes, father-in-law, the son-in-law and His Royal Highness King Yan have discussed this matter. ”

"He promised you that if he was made the crown prince and eventually succeeded to the throne, he would recognize you back and make you the prince of the Tang Dynasty?" Although Guo Ziyi asked this sentence calmly, there were waves in his heart, and things were really similar to his most daring conjecture, even crazier than he thought.

Yang Xi still hesitated for a moment before replying: "Yes, father-in-law, His Royal Highness King Yan said so!"

"You believe it?"

"I'm sure he thinks so now, but I don't know what he'll think in the future!"

"Oh?!" After Guo Ziyi thought about it for a while, she also understood what Yang Xi meant, and still asked calmly: "Ziliang, since you know this, what do you think?" ”

"I hope that Yan Wang Jue can be made the crown prince!"

"Do you really think so?"

"Yes," Yang Xi nodded, "I believe that His Royal Highness King Yan will finally fulfill his promise!"

"You covet the throne of the Tang Dynasty?" Guo Ziyi's eyes became sharp, and the tone of her voice unconsciously intensified.

"Father-in-law, it's not that I covet it, but I think that if I govern Datang, then Datang will definitely be much better than now, and it will definitely be a hundred times stronger than now, and no foreign enemy can threaten Datang!" Yang Xi said, looking at Guo Ziyi very proudly, "So as long as I have the opportunity, I will fight for it, I hope that with my wisdom and intelligence, I will bring prosperity to the world and bring happiness to the people." ”

Guo Ziyi was very surprised by Yang Xi's arrogance, and she didn't know what to say for a while. But in the end, after thinking about it, he asked seriously: "Ziliang, have you ever thought about the difficulty and danger in this?" ”

"I've thought about it, but I think that as long as King Yan becomes the crown prince and eventually becomes the emperor, then everything is not a problem!"

"Are you saying that as long as Yan Wang Jue becomes the emperor, then he will definitely pass on the throne to you?"

"That's not!" Yang Xi shook his head very resolutely, "This is just what King Yan promised now, but I believe that he must have said this just to gain my support!" He became the crown prince and eventually became the queen, he will definitely not fulfill his promise, and he will even find a way to get rid of me!"

Yang Xi's words made Guo Ziyi's heart skip a beat, and the heart he was carrying just now was also relieved a little, but he still asked puzzledly: "Ziliang, since you have thought of this, why do you still support him as the prince?" If you support other princes as princes, then no matter who it is, as long as you don't make a statement, there will definitely be no threat, only when King Yan becomes the emperor, you will have to worry about your surname!"

"But when others become princes, I have no hope at all to realize what I just said and bring the greatest happiness to the people of the world!" Yang Xi said, stood up, ignored Guo Ziyi's surprise, and said in a low voice: "Father-in-law, you believe me, as long as you support me, I will definitely be able to realize this wish, King Yan is a person who is easy to manipulate!" I hope Xin'er can eventually become the queen of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Ah" (To be continued.) )
