Li Yuan was not willing to fail, but it was a pity that Li Xiu refused to help him, which made him both annoyed and helpless, especially when he learned that Li Xiu was actually a lobbyist for Li Shimin, which made him even more annoyed, although his face was calm, but his eyes were already full of anger when he looked at Li Xiu.

"Your Majesty, the King of Qin is about to return to Chang'an with the momentum of defeating the Turks, but now several ministers led by Pei Xiang are still closed, which will certainly cause some trouble to the King of Qin, but the King of Qin still hopes that the Tang Dynasty will focus on stability, so I hope they can perform their duties." Li Xiu immediately explained the purpose of coming to see Li Yuan today.

"Humph! I knew it was going to happen, but why should I help him? Li Yuan snorted coldly when he heard this.

"Your Majesty has a grudge against King Qin, in fact, it is also a very normal thing, but Your Majesty must understand that King Qin defeated the Turks this time, and there will be no external threat in a few years, and when he returns, he will definitely stabilize the internal rule as soon as possible, if Pei Xiang and they refuse to cooperate, I am afraid that they will soon be replaced by King Qin's people, although it may bring some trouble to King Qin at the beginning, but it will only make King Qin's control of the Tang Dynasty more stable in the future!" Li Xiu said patiently at this time.

"So what, anyway, I've become a waste person now, and he will take care of all the things outside!" Li Yuan continued to gamble, he now had a taste of breaking the jar.

Seeing Li Yuan's attitude so resolute, Li Xiu couldn't help but shake his head, since Li Yuan was unwilling to let him secretly take the holy decree out just now, he had expected this situation, but he was not discouraged, but said with a smile again: "What Your Majesty said also makes sense, you are staying in the Manna Hall now and not asking about the world, in fact, it was originally wrong for me to come to you, it is better for me to go directly to Pei Xiang and them to talk, I believe he should make the right choice!" ”

"Hmph, do you think Pei Lin will listen to your persuasion?" When Li Yuan heard this, he stared at Li Xiu with some mockery and asked rhetorically, Pei Lin was the person he trusted the most, even if he was under house arrest now, he firmly believed that Pei Lin would never betray him.

"Pei Xiang is a smart man, he was able to hide the matter of the worship hall for us at the beginning, and now he naturally may choose King Qin, not to mention that he was already entangled with the crown prince, I am afraid that now he is also worried that King Qin will settle accounts with him in the future, if the previous grievances promised by King Qin are eliminated at this time, I think Pei Xiang will no longer resist King Qin, right?" Li Xiu smiled again and said, Of course, Li Shimin is not sure whether he will let Pei Lin go, and now he is only saying this to destroy Li Yuan's self-confidence.

Sure enough, Li Yuan's face couldn't help but change when he heard Li Xiu's words, and his eyes suddenly became sharp, but this only exposed his fragile heart, speaking of which, after losing power from house arrest, Li Yuan's whole person has become more suspicious and sensitive, which is also a normal reaction of people, and even some people who are more psychologically fragile may not be able to think of committing suicide directly, compared to Li Yuan's mentality, which is already good.

Li Xiu also met Li Yuan's gaze unceremoniously at this time, and only after a while did he continue to speak: "In addition, I also hope that Your Majesty will make more plans for your future life, and when King Qin completely grasps the power, that is, the day Your Majesty abdicates, but Your Majesty's age is not very large, and there will be a long time in the future, do you really want to be imprisoned in such a small palace all the time?" ”

"What do you mean, do you want me to please my rebel?" Li Yuan roared angrily at this time, but no matter how he listened to it, he had a feeling of inwardness, not to mention that he had already compromised with Li Shimin before, otherwise Li Shimin would not have taken over the military and political affairs of the Tang Dynasty so smoothly.

"Your Majesty naturally doesn't have to deliberately please King Qin, but Your Majesty also has to know that King Qin's accession to the throne is already an irreversible thing, in this case, why doesn't Your Majesty follow him to do something, so as to ease the relationship between your father and son, so as not to get along in the future, not to mention that King Qin also promised me, as long as I can convince Your Majesty, he will agree to let the princess enter the palace to visit Your Majesty at any time, doesn't Your Majesty want to have someone to talk to in the future, and don't want to see your grandson?" Li Xiu once again moved with affection and reason.

Hearing Li Xiu's words, Li Yuan finally fell silent at this time, in fact, he also knew that he was angry just now, but he refused to admit it in front of Li Xiu, but as Li Xiu explained the benefits and disadvantages little by little, he finally couldn't hold on.

But at this moment, I suddenly saw Princess Pingyang, who went out to boil chicken soup, walked in, holding a tray with both hands, and a stoneware pot was placed on it, and walked over with a smile on her face and put the tray on the table and said with a smile: "Father, how about you come and taste the chicken soup made by your daughter?" ”

Seeing Princess Pingyang come in, Li Xiu and Li Yuan immediately shut up, and at that moment, Li Yuan showed a smiling expression and said: "Pingyang, you were very smart when you were a child, no matter what your mother taught you, you learned quickly, I think this chicken soup tastes good!" ”

Hearing her father's praise, Princess Pingyang also seemed even more happy, and knelt down next to her at the moment, first serving a bowl to Li Yuan, and then serving a bowl to Li Xiu, and she looked at them with anticipation, for her, the two people in front of her should be the two most important men in her life.

Li Xiu was also full of smiles at this time, and he picked up the chicken soup with Li Yuan and tasted it, but when the chicken soup was drunk in his mouth, the movements of the two of them stiffened in unison, and then he saw Li Yuan put down the spoon and said with a smile: "It tastes good, Li Xiu, what do you say?" ”

When Li Yuan said the end, Li Yuan also glared at him with a threatening gaze, which made Li Xiu immediately show a bright smile and said: "The taste is indeed good, I see that Your Majesty's complexion is a little bad, Xiuning, you must make more chicken soup for Your Majesty in the future to replenish your body!" ”

Hearing Li Xiu's words, Li Yuan couldn't help but glare at him again, Princess Pingyang did learn cooking skills before, but it may be that she has been leading troops to fight outside all these years, and she rarely cooks in peacetime, but this time when boiling chicken soup, she obviously didn't grasp the amount of seasoning, which made this bowl of chicken soup not only salty, but also a little fishy, it just so happened that Li Xiu and Li Yuan are very picky people about diet, if it is made by someone else, I'm afraid they won't even taste it?

"That's great, you can drink more if it's delicious, this time I didn't grasp the amount, but the soup is almost gone, and there is not much left, next time I must make more!" Princess Pingyang heard the joint praise of her father and Li Xiu, and said excitedly again at the moment, Li Xiu couldn't help but smile bitterly when she heard this, no wonder this chicken soup is so salty, how can it not be salty when the soup is boiled?

Although the taste of the chicken soup was very bad, but in the face of Princess Pingyang's earnest eyes, Li Xiu and Li Yuan had to drink it little by little, and they had to make a very enjoyable appearance, and after drinking a bowl, the two were not willing to add it anyway, but said that they liked to eat chicken, so they scooped out the chicken in the clay pot and ate it slowly, although the chicken was also a little salty, but it was better than chicken soup.

After eating, Princess Pingyang accompanied Li Yuan to chat about family affairs, and at this time, Princess Pingyang also took the initiative to mention Li Yuanji, Li Chengdao and others, although Li Yuan had just learned some news about his children and grandchildren from Li Xiu, but at this time he still couldn't help but show a sad look again.

"Father, don't worry, a few days ago, Uncle Ma sent someone to send a message that they had accepted the sea boat, and the people of the Zhang family had also helped them check the sea boat, and there was no problem, and now they have gone to sea with the help of the Zhang family, and they plan to go to Tsukushi Island to rest first, and then prepare to go to the Americas, and after arriving at Tsukushi Island, they will be completely safe!" Princess Pingyang opened her mouth while weeping at this time, and every time she mentioned Li Chengdao and them, she couldn't help but want to cry.

"Alas, let's go, it's better to leave Datang than to stay and wait for death, although Yuanji is a little reckless, but after experiencing this incident, he should also be more stable, and there is also Chengdao, but unfortunately I will never see him again in the future!" I saw Li Yuan wave his hand at this time, and sighed helplessly, who would have thought that he was a dignified son of heaven, but he couldn't even protect his children and grandchildren, which also made him suddenly realize the pain of those dead kings in history, before Li Xiu compared him to Emperor Han Xian, it seems that there is nothing wrong.

Seeing her father's sad appearance, Princess Pingyang also cried even more, but Li Yuan thought about it very much, and then began to comfort her, and after a while, this made Princess Pingyang stop crying, but at this time the sky also darkened, and before coming, Li Xiu had been told by the eldest grandson Wuji that he could not spend the night in the palace, after all, Li Shimin had not come back yet, and there was absolutely no room for any chaos in the palace.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, Xiuning and I will go back first, and we'll visit you again tomorrow when we're free!" Li Xiu stood up at this time and said goodbye, although he promised that Li Shimin would persuade Li Yuan, but did not say that it would take a few days, although there was no result today, but Li Yuan's attitude had been loosened, and it was a big deal to run again tomorrow.

"Pingyang is pregnant, don't run too much, I won't use it tomorrow, and I have something to give to Pingyang, you wait for the time being!" Li Yuan did not keep Li Xiu and them, but took the initiative to stand up and persuade Princess Pingyang not to come tomorrow.

After Li Yuan finished speaking, he turned around and went to the inner hall, and after a long while, he took a longevity lock made of white jade and handed it to Princess Pingyang and said: "Xiuning, this longevity lock was worn by your mother when you were a child, and now you are going to have a child, this longevity lock will be given to you, and it can be regarded as a little heart from my grandfather!" ”

"Thank you, Father!" Princess Pingyang took the jade lock, and she was excited again with tears in her eyes.

"Okay, Li Xiu, you help Pingyang to go out carefully, it's not too late to visit me again when you have time in the future!" Li Yuan first smiled at Princess Pingyang, and then held Li Xiu's hand and admonished, but at this moment, Li Xiu obviously felt that Li Yuan had stuffed something into his hand. (To be continued.) )
