---------------

Li Longji's unexpected inquiry shocked Yang Xi.

He never expected that Li Longji would suddenly ask him such a sensitive and important question. He stayed there without any mental preparation and couldn't recover. Because he never thought that Li Longji would ask him this question.

He didn't think about how to answer.

Of course Yang Xi didn't know that Li Longji was even more impressed with him, mainly because Yang Yuhuan had said good things about Yang Xi in front of Li Longji from time to time in the past few years, almost turning Yang Xi into a big man with almost no problems and a good foundation.

A loyal minister is a minister who can be entrusted with anything. He is loyal to the Tang Dynasty and to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Longji. Otherwise, Li Longji would not have said these words to Yang Xi today.

Seeing that Yang Xi was stunned and stunned, Li Longji didn't take it seriously. He knew that what he said today would shock Yang Xi, so he continued to say in an unhurried manner: "Silang, what do you think in your heart?"

Whatever you say, no matter what your opinion is, I won’t blame you!"

Li Longji's words did not make Yang Xi feel at ease. This is not a question of whether Li Longji is to blame or not, but a question of which side he is on. No matter which era, when the old and the new are changing, there are always many people who are on the wrong side because they are on the wrong side.

Ruining the future, or even the life. The unlucky person may have died at the hands of the previous emperor, or it may have been caused by the new emperor's accession to the throne.

He was demoted and killed for standing in the wrong team. Yang Xi knew this, no matter what Li Longji said, he must have worries in his heart. He did not want to express his position in front of Li Longji, which was very dangerous. But Li Longji was like this

How could he not express his position after asking? Li Longji summoned him in today, making it clear that he wanted to ask him for an answer at this time.

Then you can only risk it and make your true meaning clear.

Under Li Longji's gaze, Yang Xi took a deep breath and replied: "Your Majesty, I am very confused that your Majesty asked me this question. Now there is a prince in the court, and the prince is the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty and the heir to the throne of the Tang Dynasty.

.The person your Majesty wants to pass the throne to must be the prince."

As soon as the words came out, Yang Xi breathed a sigh of relief, a little surprised that he would answer so "tactfully". No one could find fault with these words. The prince was originally designed to be the heir to the throne, and the old emperor passed the throne to him.

Prince, that's a matter of course.

The problem that Li Longji threw at him was solved in one stroke, and Yang Xi felt relieved.

However, the relief in Yang Xi's heart only lasted for a short while, and Li Longji immediately hit him with another question.

"Silang. Some ministers think that the prince is too cowardly and lacks ability. He did not perform well when he was supervising the country several times. However, Yong Wanglin has good talents in all aspects and is far better than the prince. Especially during this time, he asked me

Many of his suggestions, I think, are very pertinent and sensible. Some ministers suggested that Yong Wanglin be the crown prince instead, and I also think it might be more appropriate to make Yong Wanglin the crown prince, but I don’t know what you think, Shiro!"

This question gave Yang Xi a headache. But when Li Longji asked about it just now, he was already thinking about how to express this matter. After Li Longji asked, he showed surprise. He was also thinking about it.

What is the appropriate answer?

Li Longji seems to be really disappointed with Li Bin. In order to make the Tang Dynasty more stable and for the Tang Dynasty to become stronger and stronger, he began to lean towards Li Lin, who was more talented in all aspects. This is quite understandable. If Yang Xi is allowed to

If he chooses, he doesn't want his successor to be a mediocre person. He definitely hopes that the successor will have outstanding abilities. Only in this way can he continue his career and make the world more perfect.

But Yang Xi was unwilling to see Li Lin be established as the prince no matter what. If Li Lin became the prince, he would basically have no chance of the throne. He immediately replied: "Your Majesty, I think this is inappropriate.

"

"Why is it inappropriate?" Li Longji asked calmly without any surprise.

"Your Majesty, after the prince was established, although his performance in all aspects was not very good, he did not make any mistakes in handling court affairs. I believe that after being exposed to court affairs for a long time, he will have a spiritual understanding of this aspect of affairs and his ability to handle affairs will become better and better.

The better. The prince has never done anything immoral since he was newly established. The impeachment of the minister last time should also be the prince's idea, and

It's because the Pengcheng County King is jealous of his ministers!" Yang Xi said, his tone a little louder, "Your Majesty, now that the world has just settled down a little, the people's minds are also settled. If we change the crown prince now, and the prince has no fault, then it will be

It will chill the hearts of many ministers and worry the people of the world. For the sake of the peace of the world, your Majesty must act with caution!"

After Li Longji asked Yang Xi, he kept staring at Yang Xi, and the changes in Yang Xi's expression when he spoke fell in his eyes.

Although Li Longji is old and his physical condition is almost at the end of his life, his head is not very confused and he stays very clear most of the time. He knows that on the issue of whether to change the crown prince, Yang Xi cannot do it before today.

He hadn't thought about it. He could tell from Yang Xi's demeanor when he spoke what the youngest high-ranking official in the Tang Dynasty really thought.

The meaning of Yang Xi's expression when he spoke confirmed Li Longji's previous speculation that Yang Xi fully supported Li Bin and opposed Li Lin's change to the crown prince. Li Longji's previous judgment was also the same. At the beginning, it was Yang Guozhong and others

Yang Xi supported the establishment of Li Bin as the crown prince. Yang Xi and Li Bin had cooperated for many times in the counter-insurgency war. It is impossible for the two to have no friendship.

However, although Li Longji thinks this way, he still wonders whether Li Bin will have a big conflict with Yang Xi after the impeachment incident, causing Yang Xi to lose confidence in Li Bin and support Li Lin instead. Now it seems that everything is fine

Despite the change, Yang Xi still supported Li Bin as the crown prince.

After Yang Xi expressed this, Li Longji did not ask any more questions about this matter. He just said lightly that he knew about it and would not say anything more.

"Silang, who do you think are more worthy of reuse in the court today?" Li Longji asked another important question.

This was also unexpected for Yang Xi, making him even more nervous. He really couldn't understand why Li Longji called him in today to ask him such a major question, and he almost sweated on his forehead.

"Your Majesty, in the past three years, I have been observing filial piety. I really don't know much about the changes in the court, and I am not very familiar with the situation of my colleagues in the court. Your Majesty asked me to talk about this now, and I really can't tell you.

!" Yang Xi can only do Tai Chi!

"It doesn't matter, you just need to say that you think the ministers in the DPRK have teachings and abilities. No matter what you say, I won't blame you!" Li Longji looked indifferent and waved his hand to signal Yang Xi not to have too much trouble.

Lots of worries.

With Li Longji's attitude, Yang Xi was willing to take risks, "Your Majesty, I think that among the ministers in the court, Guo Xianggong, the left prime minister, Yan Shangshu of the Ministry of Culture, Gao Shilang of the Military Ministry, and Li Mi, the minister of Zhongshu, are all good ministers in my opinion! Pang Pang

Zhong, Li Guangbi, Wang Sili, Pugu Huaien, Hun Shizhi, Hun Yan, Lai Yi, Li Baozhen, these are all good generals, and there are many others who are talented, but I have not interacted with them much, so I cannot judge!"

There is nothing surprising about the people Li Longji mentioned by Yang Xi, because most of these people have good relations with Yang Xi, and many of them are recommended by Yang Xi for higher official positions. If Yang Xi thinks they are capable

Not very good, that really doesn't make sense. But Yang Xi didn't mention Wei Jiansu, Fang Guan, Li Bai, Du Fu, Cen Shen and his own three brothers Yang Xuan, Yang Biao and Yang Xiao, which surprised Li Longji

.

Li Longji originally thought that Yang Xi would definitely include Wei Jiansu, who had a very good relationship with Yang Guozhong, among the talented people. But after hearing what Yang Xi said, he knew that Yang Xi did not have much favorable impressions of Wei Jiansu, otherwise he would not be here today.

Not to mention the current prime minister and express his admiration for him.

Although he was shocked in his heart, Li Longji's face remained calm, and he did not ask Yang Xi any more about this question and changed the topic.

In the following time, Li Longji asked Yang Xi a lot about the reform of the military system. He also talked about the surrounding tribes and small countries, and asked Yang Xi how to deal with Tubo, Turks, Khitan and other forces. Yang Xi

He expressed his opinions one by one.

Finally, Li Longji felt tired and asked Yang Xi to leave the palace.

After Yang Xi left the palace, he did not return home immediately, but immediately went to find Guo Ziyi.

Guo Ziyi happened to be at the house. When he got to the study and retired, Yang Xi immediately told Guo Ziyi most of what Li Longji said to him today. Guo Ziyi was also shocked when he listened.

"Ziliang, His Majesty actually told you these things!" During this period, although Guo Ziyi often visited Li Longji in the palace and discussed court affairs with Li Longji many times, she never told him about this matter once, which made him

While it was a bit unpleasant, I also vaguely noticed something.

But he couldn't figure it out.

"Father-in-law, why do you think His Majesty wants to ask me these things?" Yang Xi's heart was still full of doubts.

"His Majesty should list you as a minister who can entrust important matters to him, otherwise he would not talk to you about this matter. If His Majesty decides who to pass the throne to, he will definitely let you enter the political hall and participate in political affairs!" Guo Ziyi

He looked at Yang Xi with a thoughtful look, "Ziliang, your Majesty's trust in you is beyond the surprise of many people, and it is beyond my surprise. But this is a good thing, no matter who is allowed to succeed him

You, you are one of the ministers who care about life!"

Although Yang Xi had guessed this, he was not sure. After hearing Guo Ziyi tell it, he finally believed it.

However, he was a little worried. He knew clearly that if Li Longji really meant this, then the world of the Tang Dynasty would definitely change soon. After Li Longji died and the new emperor ascended the throne, there was not much time left for him.

. He has always felt that the best chance for him to obtain the throne is before the new emperor takes the throne. At that time, the situation must be a bit turbulent. No matter who takes the throne, the position will be unstable. This is his opportunity to take action.

If the new emperor has been on the throne for a long time, the situation has stabilized, more officials have been replaced, and most of the ministers in the court are taking orders from the new emperor, then it will be tiring to deal with it!
