Hearing Yang Xi's question, Yang Guozhong couldn't help but sigh and replied helplessly: "Xi'er, it's because my father hasn't decided which prince to make him the crown prince yet, so he didn't make any effort to suggest that your majesty change the title to the crown prince as soon as possible.

.Li Heng is at odds with his father, but his father is also afraid that the newly established prince will do the same with dad, which will cause more trouble, so... dad is in a bit of trouble now."

In this matter, Yang Guozhong did not conceal or deceive Yang Xi, but directly explained his intentions and worries.

Because they knew that the emperor wanted to change the throne to a crown prince, many of Li Longji's sons were plotting to become the crown prince and were always ready to take action. They would definitely try their best to win over a powerful man like Yang Guozhong, hoping that Yang Guozhong would support them.

But Yang Guozhong is also a scheming person, and he will not agree to this easily in any case.

The person he hopes to support is someone who will give him higher power and more glory, or someone who can listen to him and be controlled by him, but he has not found such a person yet. Some he feels are more in line with his requirements.

As the prince, he also maintained a relationship that was both salty and mild.

After hearing what Yang Guozhong said, Yang Xi could only reply helplessly: "Father, it's a pity that I am not familiar with these sons of your majesty. I'm afraid I can't give you any advice on this matter!"

"Father also understands this," Yang Guozhong nodded in agreement with Yang Xi's statement, but immediately said, "But dad still wants to talk to you about this!"

"Those who have close contact and good relations with dad include the sixth prince Rong Wang Li Wan, the thirteenth prince Ying Wang Li Xuan, the sixteenth prince Yong Wang Li Lin, the twentieth prince Yan Wang Li Bin, and the twenty-sixth prince Feng Wang Li Gong.

, it is a pity that Rong Wang Wan unfortunately died of illness after the Anlu Mountain Rebellion broke out, and the thirteenth prince Ying and Wang Xuan had a cowardly temperament, the sixteenth prince Yong Wang Lin was too scheming, and the twenty prince Pian Wang Bin was not very good.

Wrong, but..." Yang Guozhong started the story about Prince Yan Li Gong, but for some unknown reason, he did not go on and talked directly about Prince Feng Li Gong. "The twenty-sixth prince, Prince Feng Gong, is quite good.

It's my father's intention. But this person is too scheming. My father is afraid that he will burn the bridge and help him to the crown prince position. He will turn his back and deny me, and he may not even do something evil to my father in the end. Alas!"

Yang Guozhong said, sighed helplessly, and sat down next to Yang Xi again.

"Father, it turns out that you already had a plan, but you just didn't make a final decision." Yang Xi was quite surprised.

He also lamented that Li Longji's fertility was so strong. He had thirty sons and twenty-nine daughters, so many children were born. He may not remember their names, and he may not know what they look like. Also,

The more troublesome thing is that it is difficult to decide who should be crowned prince. There are so many sons. Most of them want to be crown prince, especially after Li Longji revealed his intention to dethrone Li Heng as crown prince.

in this way.

Yang Xi had no time to sigh, let alone think too much. Yang Guozhong also began to talk about some of the entanglements regarding the establishment of the crown prince.

Li Longji's eldest son Li Cong was not established as the crown prince, but was posthumously given the title of crown prince after Tianbao died of illness in the eleventh year. His second son Li Ying was established as the crown prince in the third year of Kaiyuan. However, in the twenty-fifth year of Kaiyuan, after Concubine Wu Hui and her

Under the trap of the consort Yang Hui,

Li Ying, together with Li Yao, the king of Hubei, and Li Ju, the king of Guang, were deposed as commoners and sentenced to death. At that time, Li Longji was very difficult to decide who should be crown prince, but he finally listened to Gao Lishi's persuasion that "he should be crown prince."

, established the third son Li Heng as the crown prince.

Li Heng was so grateful to Gao Lishi that he always called Gao Lishi "second brother".

Because Gao Lishi was deeply favored by Emperor Li Longji and had great power in both the government and the public, he made the decisions on many court affairs. No one was afraid of him, and they all showed great respect for him. The kings called him "Aweng".

The horse called him "Master". After Li Linfu's death, Yang Guozhong became favored, but the only person in the court that Yang Guozhong was afraid of and did not dare to offend was Gao Lishi. It can be said that to a large extent, Yang Guozhong was favored.

, still could not surpass Gao Lishi. If Gao Lishi was not a eunuch, then the position of the head of the hundred officials would definitely fall on Gao Lishi, not Yang Guozhong. It is precisely because Gao Lishi is extremely popular with Li Longji

Li Heng was favored, and Li Heng's crown prince position was established at his suggestion. Even though Li Longji disliked Li Heng very much and had the idea of ​​abolishing Li Heng several times, Gao Lishi did not agree, so he kept delaying it.

After talking a lot about the prince and Gao Lishi, Yang Guozhong sighed with emotion: "Xi'er, if it weren't for Gao Lishi, many things in the court would not be so complicated!"

Yang Xi knew that at this time he could no longer remain indifferent and not express his opinions, and immediately said: "Father, my child knows that if Prince Li Heng ascends the throne as emperor, the glory of our Yang family cannot continue, so my child supports

My father suggested that your majesty change the throne to a crown prince! Moreover, my father should take advantage of the current chaos in the world to make your majesty make up his mind to establish another prince as the crown prince."

Hearing what Yang Xi said clearly, Yang Guozhong was very surprised, and then he showed his joy: "Xi'er, I am very happy that you can support dad's proposal. Dad knows that among the brothers, you are the smartest.

And you are the most helpful to dad. Now you come back

Beijing is also a good thing. You are now in charge of Zuo Longwuwei, but you have not officially performed your duties. Dad will suggest that your majesty take advantage of your return to Beijing to formally take charge of this task. You have taken charge of Longwu.

Wei, many things will be much easier to handle, and dad will be more confident in doing things."

Upon hearing what Yang Guozhong said, Yang Xi's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Yang Guozhong had any military remonstrance ideas? However, Yang Guozhong's subsequent words immediately eliminated his doubts.

"Xi'er, Li Heng has the support of Gao Lishi. His Majesty may not be determined to depose him. However, Li Heng has been the crown prince for many years, but your Majesty has never passed the throne to him. After the rebellion, although he

He expressed his intention to do so, but in the end he did not do so. His Majesty also expressed his intention to dethrone him from the throne several times.

He must be very anxious, fearing that he will lose the title of crown prince." After Yang Guozhong said this, he paused and then said: "If he feels that His Majesty strongly wants to change the title of crown prince, then he will not be able to help it, and maybe he will take some measures.

Action. If this is really the case, it will definitely annoy His Majesty, and it may not be possible for His Majesty to make an immediate decision."

Yang Xi was stunned and immediately understood what Yang Guozhong meant. Yang Guozhong meant to force Li Heng to take action. If Li Heng couldn't help but take action and wanted to imitate Li Shimin back then, he could take the opportunity to kill him.

Li Longji will definitely not tolerate Li Heng's actions.

However, if Li Heng really does this, the key to being invincible in the battle with him is to capture the forbidden army, otherwise it may be a huge trouble. Yang Xi also completely understood what Yang Guozhong just said.

meaning.
