Chapter 351: The Imprisoned Emperor (Part II)
"Your Majesty is so stubborn to break away Xiuning, aren't you afraid of Xiuning's suspicion?" After Li Xiu watched Princess Pingyang leave, he couldn't help but sigh and said, Li Yuan's way to take Princess Pingyang just now was too obvious, I'm afraid that even a child can't be fooled.

"Do you think Binh Duong doesn't know? In fact, she knows everything, she just doesn't want to say it, not to mention that I'm just a powerless old man now, and she doesn't have to worry about me hurting you. I saw Li Yuan turn sideways and look at Li Xiu, his eyes were also full of complexity.
"Knowing the daughter Mo Ruo's father, I am indeed inferior to Your Majesty at this point, but I don't know if Your Majesty has anything to say to me alone?" Li Xiu also nodded in agreement with Li Yuan's words, and then asked again.
"What is your relationship with King Qin now, and why did he agree to let Yuan Ji go and Chengdao them?" Li Yuan stared at Li Xiu with torch eyes at this time and asked, he already knew from Li Shimin about Li Yuanji and Li Chengdao going to the Americas, but he didn't know much, and he didn't have time to talk more with Princess Pingyang just now, so she didn't feel too sad, so he asked Li Xiu at this time.
"I don't have anything to do with King Qin, the reason why he agreed to let go of King Qi and Chengdao is mainly because I made a deal with him, and I also made a gesture of killing the net to force him, which made him agree to let the King of Qi and them go......" Li Xiu said and told the original story, he knew that Li Yuan's news was blocked, so he also talked in detail, including the fact that he helped Li Shimin repel the Turks.
Li Yuan also listened very carefully, and when he encountered some unclear places, he would ask until he understood it, and after Li Xiu finished speaking, he finally understood all the things that happened in the outside world during this time, and also figured out the relationship between Li Xiu and Li Shimin.
"Thank you for all this you can do for Motoyoshi and Chengdao!" To Li Xiu's surprise, he saw Li Yuan suddenly take a long breath at this time, and then solemnly saluted him.
"Your Majesty, you can't do this, your ...... I can't afford it! Li Xiu was also taken aback when he saw this, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to support Li Yuandao, whether it was from public or private, he couldn't afford Li Yuan's gift.
"No, you deserve it!" Li Yuan looked directly at Li Xiu at this time and said solemnly, "This gift does not only represent my gratitude, but also Yuanji and Chengdao them, I am their father and grandfather, but I am powerless to protect them at the critical moment, if it weren't for you to help Princess Pingyang do your best, I'm afraid they would have already fallen to the ground by now!" ”
Li Yuan's words are impossible to refute, strictly speaking, it is indeed Li Xiu who saved the lives of Li Yuanji's people, Li Yuan saluted Li Xiu on behalf of his children and grandchildren, but it also makes sense, but in Li Xiu's impression, Li Yuan has always been very tough, and now he actually thanked him, which is unbelievable, and even he is a little suspicious that Li Yuan has any other purpose?
I have to say that Li Xiu's intuition is still very powerful, I saw that after Li Yuan solemnly saluted Li Xiu, his face suddenly changed and he lowered his voice: "Li Xiu, you have also seen my situation now, but I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, as long as I can issue a rebellious holy decree, countless people will immediately respond, and now I need you to help me bring the holy decree out!" ”
Seeing that Li Yuan had reached such a time, and he still refused to admit defeat, Li Xiu couldn't help but look at him in shock, and after a long while, he smiled helplessly, and did not immediately express his attitude, but asked with interest: "How could Your Majesty give me such an important matter, Xiuning is your daughter, and she is more suitable to accept this task, right?" ”
In response to Li Xiu's rhetorical question, Li Yuan glanced at the direction where Princess Pingyang left with a calm face, and only after a moment did he speak: "Don't look at Pingyang who seems to hate her second brother very much now, but she is a woman, and she also attaches too much importance to family affection, if I ask her to help me deal with Li Shimin at this time, I am afraid she will not agree at all!" ”
Li Yuan is worthy of being the father of Princess Pingyang, and he knows almost everything about her character, and Li Xiu couldn't help but think about it for a moment after hearing it, and finally had to admit that with his understanding of Princess Pingyang, she really wouldn't help Li Yuan deal with Li Shimin, after all, for her, Li Jiancheng's death had already caused a lot of damage to her family, and she didn't want to have a second time.
"Li Xiu, I know you don't like fame and fortune, but you want to marry Pingyang, if you help me bring the holy decree out, when the matter is completed, I will personally issue a decree for you to marry, so that you and Pingyang can also be together openly!" Li Yuan spoke again at this time, he grasped Li Xiu's weakness, and did not use fame and fortune to persuade Li Xiu, but directly tempted him by giving marriage.
Hearing Li Yuan's words, I saw that Li Xiu did not answer immediately, but showed a contemplative expression, and after a long while, he suddenly raised his head and smiled at Li Yuan and said, "Could this be Your Majesty's edict?" ”
"What...... What is the edict of the cloth? Li Yuan didn't react at first.
"At the beginning, Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and Emperor Han Xian made a holy decree with a blood book, sandwiched between the clothes and belts and sent it to the general Dong Cheng, hoping to murder Cao Cao, Your Majesty should have heard this story, right?" Li Xiu explained with a smile again.
"What do you mean?" When Li Yuan heard that Li Xiu actually compared him to Emperor Han Xian, he couldn't help but say with a sinking face, Emperor Han Xian had lived a very aggrieved life all his life, and he was also the last emperor of the Han Dynasty, but he was the founder of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Xiu's analogy naturally made him very unhappy.
"Hehe, in fact, it's not interesting, it's just that General Dong Chengdong, who got the edict of the clothes, didn't end very well, I heard that he was punished afterwards, and the entire Dong family was razed to the ground, using history as a mirror, it can be seen that the risk of this kind of thing is simply too great, and it is impossible to succeed!" Li Xiu said with a smile again.
In fact, after hearing Li Yuan's words just now, he instantly made the decision to refuse, after all, Datang finally settled down, and he didn't want to help Li Yuan mess up the situation anymore, not to mention that he had to tie the safety of his whole family to Li Yuan's chariot, which was a great loss.
"Are you scared?" Li Yuan was staring at Li Xiu with blazing eyes at this time, and then said in a mocking tone.
However, it is a pity that Li Yuan's agitation method did not have any effect, and I saw that Li Xiu smiled indifferently and said: "That's right, I'm really afraid, Pingyang is already pregnant, and she will give birth to a child for me this fall, and there is another wife of mine, Yiniang, she will give birth in more than a month, that is to say, I will have two children this year, and I will not only be a husband, but also a father, I will be responsible for my wife and children, and I will never do anything meaningless." and thus put them in danger! ”
"What do you say? You say it's a pointless thing to help me regain the power that belongs to me? Li Yuan couldn't help but be furious when he heard Li Xiu's words, and Li Xiu's attitude also made him even more annoyed.
"Your Majesty, Datang has suffered too much suffering and bloodshed, and it was almost wiped out at the hands of the Turks before, for the current Datang, it really can't withstand any turmoil, please think twice!" Li Xiu sighed again, and finally said the true thoughts in his heart, if Li Yuan really fights with Li Shimin again, I am afraid that the next will only be more turbulent, in case the next time the Turks come in again, I am afraid that the Tang Dynasty will really be destroyed.
"Humph! I single-handedly defeated Datang, don't I want Datang to be stable, but Li Shimin, a rebellious son, killed his brother and imprisoned his father, and committed such a thing of anger between heaven and man, not only can he not receive any punishment, but he will take away my throne and enjoy the admiration of all the people, do you think this is fair? Li Yuan's eyes were red at this time, it seemed that his hatred for Li Shimin was not nothing, but it had been buried deep in his heart, and it didn't break out until this time.
"Of course it's not fair!" Unexpectedly, Li Xiu actually agreed with Li Yuan's last sentence, and then saw that he also looked directly at Li Yuan at this time, and after a long while, he said solemnly, "King Qin's seizure of the throne is not right, not only owes His Majesty and the crown prince, but also owes the whole world a debt, then let him be an emperor for the benefit of the world to make up for the debt he owes!" ”
"An emperor who benefits the world? Haha~, this is simply the funniest joke in the whole world, do you think that a person who kills his brother and imprisons his father will become a qualified emperor? Li Yuan said with a mocking face when he heard Li Xiu's words, and even at this time he was a little skeptical that Li Xiu had already taken refuge in Li Shimin, otherwise how could he say such a thing?
"Your Majesty can doubt it, but I think that King Qin's future achievements are definitely no worse than any emperor in history, or even surpassed!" Seeing Li Yuan's somewhat crazy appearance, Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh and said, as one of the most outstanding emperors in history, Li Shimin's achievements are indeed impeccable, and even his murder of his brother and father was covered up by his achievements.
"Humph! I think you're here to be a lobbyist for Li Shimin, right? Li Yuan didn't believe Li Xiu's words at all, but snorted coldly.
As soon as Li Yuan's voice fell, he saw Li Xiu suddenly smiled and said: "Your Majesty guessed correctly, I really came to be a lobbyist for King Qin this time, but Your Majesty can rest assured, the ministers just now should not have heard those words, and they will never mention it to anyone!" ”
"Sure enough, what did he ask you to do?" Hearing that Li Xiu actually admitted that he was here to be a lobbyist, Li Yuan's face suddenly turned cold, fortunately he understood Li Xiu's character, and because of Princess Pingyang's relationship, he didn't have to worry about him leaking what he just said.
