-----------------
"Well, Xi'er, as a father, I am very surprised. You have only been back to Chang'an for such a short time, how come you have thought of so many new things?" After carefully examining a few pictures, Yang Guozhong's eyes flashed with a strange light, "Yes.
Did you receive any advice from an expert?"
"Father, my son spent day and night with the soldiers in Tongguan, and he understood a lot of things. After listening to the discussions of the soldiers, my son has been thinking about how to fight better, and naturally he came up with some weapons for war!"
Yang Xi didn't want to explain anything. If Yang Guozhong had any doubts, let him guess. He would explain it later when he found an opportunity.
Yang Guozhong surprisingly did not ask any more questions, but said with a smile: "Xi'er, don't worry, my father will prepare all the things you ask for. If you have anything difficult to do in the future, you can ask your father.
You will return to Tongguan after nightfall, so go back and have a good rest first!"
"Thank you very much, father," Yang Xi was overjoyed and immediately made a salute, "Then father is busy with work first, and the child will go back to rest first!"
But just when Yang Xi was about to leave, a young eunuch rushed to report that the emperor had summoned his father and son to talk about something.
Yang Guozhong and Yang Xi did not dare to delay and left immediately.
There are ice cubes in Li Longji's palace, and you can feel the coolness as soon as you enter. Only the loyal eunuch Gao Lishi is accompanying Li Longji in the palace, and there is no one else. It seems that Li Longji is discussing things with Gao Lishi.
When Yang Guozhong and Yang Xi and his son entered Li Longji's palace, Gao Lishi bowed and retreated.
Li Longji stretched out his hand to signal Yang Guozhong and Yang Xi, who were saluting, to excuse themselves, and sat down on one side. Then he said: "Guozhong, Silang, I have called you here today to discuss something!"
"Your Majesty, if you have anything to do, please feel free to tell me!" Yang Guozhong bowed and saluted again, with a respectful look on his face.
Li Longji didn't say any polite words, and directly explained his meaning: "Chen Xuanli deliberately delayed the time to ask for help from Tongguan, and he must be held seriously responsible according to the law. It's just that I remember that he has always followed me loyally, and I don't want to make it too difficult for him! He is here
He has been in the army for many years, and there are many people in the Forbidden Army who are his confidants and disciples. I don’t want to cause trouble when the situation is delicate. I wonder if you two can understand what I mean?”
How could Yang Guozhong not understand the meaning of Li Longji's words? He stood up and agreed without any hesitation: "Your Majesty always considers the overall situation in everything he does. I admire you very much. I certainly agree with your Majesty's decision! It's just that I feel that Chen Xuanli committed a crime."
For committing such a serious crime, Your Majesty must deal with him and never allow him to serve in the army again. I think it would be a very good choice for Your Majesty to let him go back to cultivate his moral character!"
Yang Xi was very surprised that his father dared to say this in front of the emperor, and he was worried for a while, fearing that Yang Guozhong's words would offend Li Longji and get him a scolding. But to his surprise, Li Longji seemed to be very satisfied with what Yang Guozhong said, and slowly vomited
After taking a breath, he said: "Guozhong, I think your suggestion is very good. I will follow your suggestion and remove Chen Xuanli from all his duties and let him rest and recuperate in the house!"
Li Longji's words made Yang Xi stunned. He also further understood the extent of his father Li Longji's doting, and he could actually make such a request. It seemed that he was still too careful.
After Yang Guozhong sat down, Li Longji turned his eyes to Yang Xi and motioned for Yang Xi to sit close to him. After Yang Xi sat down as instructed, he said earnestly: "Silang, your performance in Tongguan a few days ago impressed me very much.
Surprise, I also believe that your military talents are comparable to Huo Wei of the Han Dynasty. I hope you can perform even better when you continue to lead the army to defend Tongguan and prevent the rebels from capturing Tongguan!"
"Your Majesty, don't worry. As long as I stay in Tongguan for one day, I will never let Tongguan fall into the hands of the rebels!" Yang Xi straightened his body and said very proudly: "Your Majesty, not only will I not let the rebels attack Tongguan,
When the situation becomes more favorable, I will lead my troops out of the border to fight and completely quell the rebellion of the thieves for Your Majesty. As long as Your Majesty continues to let me lead the army from the front, I will definitely be able to do it!"
Yang Xi's words surprised Yang Guozhong and also surprised Li Longji. However, Li Longji was very pleased to hear this. He reached out and patted Yang Xi's arm and said with a smile: "Silang, you are so heroic.
I am very happy as long as you are here
Tongguan has performed well, and I will definitely let you continue to lead the army. I hope that you can make military achievements again, and I believe your father is the same. He also hopes that you can make military achievements again and shine on the lintel of the Yang family. Haha, Guozhong, you say
Yes or no?"
Hearing what Li Longji said, although Yang Guozhong was a little reluctant to have Yang Xi lead his army out to fight in Tongguan, fearing that something might happen to him or he would suffer a defeat and lose all the glory ahead, Yang Xi expressed it this way, and the emperor said this, he
What else could I say? I could only bite the bullet and reply: "Your Majesty, of course I hope so. If Shiro makes another military exploit, I will be very happy!"
While he was talking, there was a jingling sound, and then a soft and sweet voice sounded, "Your Majesty, I am here to see you!"
Following the sound, Yang Yuhuan in full dress emerged from behind the screen, while several beautiful maids stopped outside, not daring to come in.
Yang Guozhong and Yang Xi stood up and saluted Yang Yuhuan. After receiving the salute, Yang Yuhuan sat down directly on the edge of Li Longji's couch.
Yang Yuhuan does not need to notify when entering or leaving Li Longji's palace, he can come in directly.
"Your Majesty, I don't know that you, Guozhong and Shilang are discussing important matters. Is it an unlucky time to come here?" Yang Yuhuan said to Li Longji with a charming smile, and raised a pair of soft white hands.
, and began to beat Li Longji gently. As he spoke, his eyes naturally glanced at Yang Xi, and he paused for a moment, as if he wanted to take a closer look at Yang Xi.
In fact, Yang Yuhuan's arrival was informed by Yang Guozhong before he came in. He had some requests to make to the emperor, but he was afraid that the emperor would not agree, so he moved his cousin out.
Hearing what Yang Yuhuan said, Li Longji smiled and patted Yang Yuhuan's little hand, and said with a smile: "How could it be a coincidence that Yuhuan came? I just praised Yang Xi and prepared to announce his award before he returned to Tongguan."
I also encourage him to lead the army well in the future and strive to win military honors again. After dark, Shiro will return to Tongguan. You, the imperial concubine, and Shiro’s aunt, why don’t you give him a few words of encouragement?"
Hearing what Li Longji said, Yang Yuhuan immediately followed his intention and said: "Your Majesty is saying that Silang is going back to Tongguan, so I will naturally come to visit. I also hope that Silang can make another military exploit, so that Your Majesty can rest assured.
To save Mr. Yang’s face!”
After saying that, he turned to look at Yang Xi and said with a smile: "Silang, after you return to Tongguan, you must work hard and don't slack off, so as not to worry your Majesty and your father. You must also take care of yourself and don't get hurt.
.Auntie wants to give you a gift today, I hope it can keep you safe in the future!"
