Guo Ziyi's experience reminded Yang Xi of another very famous figure in the history of the Tang Dynasty, that is, the legendary Li Shiji.

Before Li Shimin died, he said to Li Zhi: You have no kindness to Li Shiji and it is difficult to control this character. Now I am going to demote him to a foreign official. After my death, you will call him back and grant him a high official position. , he has received your favor and will definitely do his best for you. Then Li Shimin sent Li Shiji as the governor of Diezhou. After Li Zhi came to the throne, he immediately recalled Li Shiji to Beijing and entrusted him with important positions.

Since then, Li Shiji has shown "loyalty" to Li Zhi and did not even object to such major events as making Wu Zetian his queen.

Because of the emergence of Yang Xi, although there is a certain gap between Guo Ziyi's achievements and Li Shiji's, they are still similar figures. In terms of qualifications and achievements, there are not many people in the Tang Dynasty who can compare. Before Li Longji's death, except for Guo Ziyi Yang Xi really wanted to find out whether he would be reinstated after Li Bin ascended the throne as queen, and had the right to participate in political affairs.

When Li Longji was seriously ill, Li Bin often accompanied him. Many times the father and son were alone. There must have been secret discussions between the two. Neither Yang Yuhuan nor the people placed in the palace by Yang Xi could have stolen anything. Listening to all the conversations between father and son, Yang Xi naturally could not fully know what kind of exchanges Li Longji and Li Bin had on court affairs. He could not guess what Li Bin would do after taking office.

"Father-in-law, do you think that after the new emperor takes charge, will he follow the example of Emperor Gaozong and recruit you into the political affairs hall?" Because he had doubts in his heart, when talking to Guo Ziyi, Yang Xi naturally mentioned this The question was asked.

Many days have passed since the incident, and Guo Ziyi's mood has calmed down. He has been hiding in the house all day, living in seclusion and not receiving visitors. Even his former subordinates, the only one who can directly come to him is Yang Xi, his son-in-law. He was a little disillusioned. Hearing Yang Xi's question today, he felt a little emotional again. This was something he had never thought of. He did not put himself on the same level as Li Shiji, and he never thought that Li Longji would treat him like this. Following the example of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin and Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi, I didn't know how to answer.

"Ziliang. I don't know, but from what I think, it's basically impossible!" Guo Ziyi smiled bitterly and shook his head, then asked Yang Xi: "Ziliang, have you ever thought about why His Majesty was like this before he died? Do?"

Yang Xi looked at Guo Ziyi and lowered his voice and said: "Perhaps His Majesty wanted to make me one of the ministers who take care of life, so he took off your official position, father-in-law, and did not allow you to participate in political affairs. If both our father-in-law and son-in-law were in the same position, Minister Li Gu Ming. Your Majesty must be worried that the power will be vacated after the new emperor takes the throne, so he did this. If you continue to be in the political hall, your son-in-law will not have such an opportunity. It is very likely that he will be held responsible. He may also be removed from his official position, or he may be promoted to an official position, and it may not be certain whether he will be a military governor in any place."

Yang Xi learned some information about this from Yang Yuhuan at that time. Li Longji had planned to let him work outside. However, after repeated persuasion by Yang Yuhuan and Mrs. Guo Guo, he gave up this plan. The two sisters decided to His common little lover was talking about an indispensable figure in the Tang Dynasty, saying that if he was not given important use, it would be a huge loss to the Tang Dynasty. In addition, Yang Guozhong was newly mourned, and Yang Xi should not be allowed to leave Chang'an. In the end After repeated persuasion by the two women, Li Longji changed his original intention and allowed him to continue to stay in Beijing and become one of the four ministers who took care of life.

Yang Xi believed that his ability to stay in Chang'an and rank in the political affairs hall and become one of Li Bin's four ministers had a lot to do with the pillow wind blown by Yang Yuhuan and Mrs. Guo Guo. If it hadn't been for this

Two women often say good things about him in front of Li Longji, so Li Longji will definitely not

To use him so much now. From another perspective, the energy he put into these two women in the past few years has been rewarded. If he had not served these two women well in the past two years, they had enjoyed a lot.

It is impossible for such a situation to happen if you are physically and mentally satisfied for the first time.

Although Li Longji may have relied on his talents and connections with Yang Guozhong, it would be impossible for him to be promoted to the Political Affairs Hall in his twenties. Through the kind words of two women, he gained the power he has now.

Yang Xi felt very strange in his heart.

Those who achieve great things must not stick to trivial matters and use all means ----- In the end, he can only comfort himself with this reason.

If he has to be reused, then as his father-in-law, Guo Ziyi will definitely be ignored. This is the conclusion Yang Xi came to immediately after Guo Ziyi was dismissed as prime minister. Otherwise, their family will have too much power in the court, and Li Bin will definitely not be able to control it.

Li Longji will definitely take this into consideration

Yang Xi didn't know what the father and son had secretly discussed, and whether they would reveal everything, including his identity and relationship with Li Bin, so he couldn't guess how Li Bin would treat Guo Ziyi in the end.

Will he have the same fate as Li Shiji?

Guo Ziyi asked him about this situation, and he could only explain it this way. Of course, he spoke in a very helpless tone.

After listening to what Yang Xi said, Guo Ziyi remained silent and said after a while: "Ziliang, after His Majesty's mourning period is over, there may be a disturbance in the court. This disturbance must be related to you, and maybe it is also related to me.

Regarding this, you must be prepared. Maybe the new emperor will do many things that you and I can’t think of in order to consolidate his throne and power. You must not relax!”

"Thank you, father-in-law, for the reminder. My son-in-law will definitely be on guard against it if he finds out!"

A trace of coldness flashed across Guo Ziyi's face, and he said in a cold voice: "Ziliang, according to my opinion, the new emperor will probably not tell the world about you and his identity after the kiss. If this is the case, then you

We must find a way to reveal this matter, let everyone in the world know, and let the people

I will ask the new emperor about this matter in the court! If such a scene really happens, then you must seize the opportunity and let the new emperor fulfill his promise. If he does not fulfill his promise, then your relationship will be very tense. He will definitely

I cannot tolerate you continuing to be in the court, and I will take action..."

At this point, Guo Ziyi stopped talking, and Yang Xi understood what Guo Ziyi didn't say. That was when Li Bin attacked him, it was when he fought back and fought for the final victory. For many things, it's okay to just break up.

If I do it, I'm afraid it will be half-covered.

After receiving Guo Ziyi's face-to-face reminder, Yang Xi chatted with his father-in-law for a while and then left.

Because he had to handle court affairs on behalf of the emperor, Yang Xi seldom returned home during this period. I don’t know why. Some time ago, just after Yang Xi had finished observing filial piety for Yang Guozhong, Guo Xin, Ping’er, and Xiaoyu unexpectedly became pregnant at the same time.

, which made Yang Xi happy at the same time

He was also very depressed. His wife and concubine were pregnant at about the same time. He didn't even have the chance to vent his physical desires at home. He could only go to Yang Yuhuan or Mrs. Guo Guo. But now that Li Longji has passed away, naturally this kind of thing can no longer be done.

Damn, he has been abstinent for many days.

I have something to do every day, so I don’t think about these things too much, and because I’m worried, I don’t feel like I’m lacking anything.

After Li Longji's death, the four prime ministers of the political hall, Fang Guan, Li Mi, Yang Xi, and Zhang Hao, were mainly responsible for the affairs of the court. Except for Yang Xi, the other three were rich in experience in this field, and Yang Xi had been

Mainly leading troops in the army, and also being exposed to some military-related court affairs. I don’t have much experience in handling other civil affairs and other matters.

, Relatively speaking, compared with the other three, his ability to deal with court affairs is a bit lacking. However, his soul comes from later generations, and he has more knowledge than the other three. In some important aspects,

He was able to point out the pros and cons to the point, and expressed some opinions that were different from ordinary people, which surprised the other three.

Although Fang Guan, Li Bi, Yang Xi, and Zhang Hao were the ministers appointed by Li Longji before his death, there were still two prime ministers in the political hall, Yan Zhenqing and Li Lin. They were not incompetent, and many matters were discussed.

They were all involved, but the final decision

The final decision-making power lies in the hands of Fang Guan, Li Mi, Yang Xi, and Zhang Hao. However, Yan Zhenqing and Li Lin will not give up the opportunity to express their opinions because of this. They have their own opinions on most court affairs, and they share the opinions of others.

When they disagree, they will argue with reason.

Because Yan Zhenqing and Yang Xi had a master-disciple relationship, Li Mi was recommended by Yang Xi to serve in the court. Within a few years, because of his outstanding talents, he was reused by Li Longji, and finally ranked in the political affairs hall and was elected.

As the Minister of Gu Ming. Because of this relationship, Yan Zhenqing and Li Mi almost had the same opinions on handling court affairs, while Fang Guan had always had disputes with Yang Guozhong.

He was very dissatisfied with Yang Guozhong's monopoly on power, so he had a similar attitude towards Yang Xi. Zhang Hao was promoted repeatedly because of Fang Guan's recommendation. Li Lin and Zhang Hao had a good relationship, so the three of them naturally

After forming an alliance, these three people often had different views on many things with Yang Xi, Yan Zhenqing, and Li Mi. Sometimes the differences were so big that they were almost tit for tat.

The six prime ministers and the four ministers of Guanshitang were almost divided into two groups, with the same number of people.

This may be the real reason why Li Longji originally elected these six people to the Political Affairs Hall and made four of them ministers of Gu Ming!

Only when there are disputes can there be mutual supervision, so as not to lead to arbitrary power. Yang Xi also truly woke up to Li Longji's good intentions.

Yang Xi could only smile bitterly at all this, and he often speculated about what would happen after Li Bin took over.

The days always pass quickly. Three months have passed in the blink of an eye. Li Longji's mourning period has also ended. The new emperor Li Bin, who has ended his filial piety, has also officially begun to take charge of the government and handle court affairs. The power in the hands of the four ministers who take care of life is

Also deprived of some.

However, just when Li Bin began to take charge of the government and tried to slowly take over the power of the government, another very surprising thing happened in the court.
