Li Shimin came to visit, and Li Xiu hurriedly invited him into the living room, but Ma Ye immediately retired at this time, because he saw that Li Shimin came to Li Xiu on purpose, and there must be something to talk about, and it was probably inconvenient for him to stay here, so he took the initiative to leave, and Li Shimin did not keep him, so Li Xiu had to send Ma Ye away first.

"Boy, Your Majesty came to you because it was related to the prince's affairs, and even I guess Your Majesty probably already knows that you helped Chengxin collect the corpse, no matter what Your Majesty says at that time, you just follow him, don't anger Your Majesty because of such a trivial matter!" When Ma Ye was leaving, he quietly grabbed Li Xiu and admonished.

"Uncle Ma, don't worry, I know it!" Li Xiu immediately nodded and said, he also guessed that Li Shimin's coming to him should have something to do with Li Chengqian's matter, but he couldn't guess the specific reason.

At that moment, Li Xiu sent Ma Ye away, and then turned around and returned to the living room, only to see Li Shimin sitting motionless in the hall, although there was a maid next to him to bring tea, but he did not move at all, until he heard Li Xiu's footsteps coming in, then he raised his head and smiled at him reluctantly: "Li Xiu, you must know about Chengqian." ”

Li Xiu didn't expect Li Shimin to ask about Li Chengqian when he opened his mouth, and he was stunned at the moment, but then he nodded and said: "I know some, but this matter is just a matter of the forbidden palace, and it is really not appropriate to make trouble in the court, this time Wei Ting has really gone too far." ”

"Wei Ting's approach is certainly wrong, but I don't intend to blame him, after all, Cheng Qian has done everything, and he should have taken into account the current consequences, but he is such a big person, but he has disappointed me again and again, and sometimes I can't understand why the child who was so obedient and sensible at the beginning suddenly became like this now?" When Li Shimin said the end, he also showed a painful and helpless expression on his face, as a father, he really didn't know how to educate his son now?

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Xiu smiled bitterly in his heart, the reason why Li Chengqian became what he is now, I am afraid that Li Shimin will account for more than eighty percent of the responsibility, but unfortunately he himself can't realize it at all, this is the worst, in fact, not only Li Xiu, I'm afraid many ministers also know this, but few people dare to say it to Li Shimin, of course, even if he says it, Li Shimin will not believe it, for example, Wei Zheng has accused him of pampering Li Tai too much more than once, but Li Shimin didn't listen at all.

"Cheng Qian, he ......" Li Xiu wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to continue, so he couldn't directly accuse Li Shimin, right? Moreover, Li Chengqian has become what he is now, no matter how much he blames Li Shimin, he will not be of any help to things, not to mention that even if he tells the truth, I am afraid that Li Shimin may not be able to listen to it.

Seeing that Li Xiu wanted to speak and stopped, Li Shimin thought that he was the same as himself, and he didn't know what to say or do when he was disappointed in Li Chengqian? This made him sigh again at this time: "Actually, I came to you today, just to pour out the bitter water in my heart with you, because I really don't have anything to do with Cheng Qian now, but I am unwilling to watch him fall, what do you say I should do now?" ”

When Li Shimin said to the end, his face also showed a little confused, when he led three thousand cavalry against Dou Jiande's 100,000 army, he was not confused, and later he was suppressed by his father Li Yuan, and when his brother Li Jiancheng was squeezed out, he was not confused, but now when facing his unsuccessful son, he was confused, and even felt very helpless.

"Your Majesty's mood, the minister also understands very well, the same father, if I see Ping An Lang or Jin'er doing such a thing, I'm afraid I will also be angry and do something irrational." Li Xiu watched the expression on Li Shimin's face change, and sighed again at the moment.

"Irrational things? Do you think I did the wrong thing about Cheng Qian? Li Shimin suddenly frowned at this time, and looked at Li Xiudao in some surprise at the moment.

Li Xiu also secretly shouted bad at this time, originally he didn't want to say anything about this matter that stimulated Li Shimin's opinion too much, but he didn't expect to lose his words for a while, but Li Shimin still grabbed the conversation, which made him unable to avoid it if he wanted to.

"This ......" Li Xiu wanted to make up another sentence to round this story, but he couldn't make it up for a while, and finally had to say helplessly, "Actually, Your Majesty broke into the East Palace that day and killed that servant in front of Cheng Qian, which is indeed too much in the eyes of the minister, because Your Majesty did this to vent the anger in his heart, but it would cause a huge irritation to Cheng Qian, and he was confined in the East Palace afterwards, and the minister has been worried about him doing anything radical during this time." ”

If someone else said the above words, I'm afraid Li Shimin wouldn't have listened at all, but the weight of Li Xiu's words was far from being comparable to others, at least Li Shimin also showed a contemplative expression after hearing it, and after a while, he said with a gloomy expression: "What you said is right, now think about it carefully, what I did that day was indeed a little inappropriate." ”

When he said this, he saw Li Shimin pause suddenly, then looked up at Li Xiu and said, "I heard that you helped that servant collect the corpse, but what I don't understand is why you did such a thing?" ”

When Li Shimin said the previous words, his expression was still very gloomy, but when he said the latter words, his expression became a little vigilant, and he even stared at Li Xiu with some scrutiny, because he couldn't understand why Li Xiu wanted to help that person collect the body, could it be that the satisfaction had anything to do with Li Xiu?

With Li Xiu's understanding of Li Shimin, he naturally saw at a glance what he was thinking, which made him smile bitterly, and then had to explain: "The minister and that servant don't know each other, but I feel that he is a little pitiful, only because the prince was confused for a while, he was involved in this matter, and I heard that the prince attaches great importance to him, if he is really allowed to be in the wilderness, it will only make the prince have more resentment in the future, so I let his body be collected and buried." ”

Hearing Li Xiu's explanation, Li Shimin was speechless for a while, although Li Xiu did not explicitly accuse him, but in fact, the meaning of his words was already very obvious, even as an emperor, it was difficult to refute such a hasty decision on a person's life and death.

Seeing that Li Shimin was silent, Li Xiu also knew that Li Shimin had realized his original impulse, but after all, he was an emperor, and it was impossible for him to admit his mistake because of this kind of thing, so he spoke again: "But the matter has passed, and the most important thing for Your Majesty now is to look forward, such as how to guide the prince in the future, and don't let him make today's mistakes again." ”

Li Xiu's words also took the initiative to give Li Shimin a step, which made him also breathe a sigh of relief, and he also seriously thought about it at the moment: "This is also what I feel a headache, during this time, I sent Cheng Qian to the East Palace, originally to let him reflect on his own actions, but I didn't expect him to not only realize his mistakes, but ...... Instead......"

When Li Shimin talked about Li Chengqian's recent situation, he became excited again, and he didn't even speak very well, but finally spoke: "He actually set up a statue for that servant in the East Palace, and he never left day and night, where is there still half a prince like this?" I'm angry and heartbroken now, and I really don't know what to do with him. ”

Li Xiu also sighed secretly when he heard Li Chengqian's recent situation, if he remembered correctly, the original history books also recorded that after Chengxin was killed, Li Chengqian's reaction was almost exactly the same as now, but the history books did not describe the death of Chengxin much, but said that he was executed by Li Shimin in anger, but he did not say that it was Li Shimin's own hand, and it is estimated that the history books should also avoid this kind of thing.

"Now Cheng Qian is afraid that he will not be able to listen to anyone's persuasion, and even the minister estimates that in the next period of time, Cheng Qian may do more ridiculous things, but he is just using this to express his dissatisfaction to His Majesty, Your Majesty must not be too concerned with him, and when his anger is almost vented, His Majesty may wish to take the initiative to do something to reconcile with Cheng Qian, so that Cheng Qian may understand His Majesty's painstaking efforts!" Li Xiu spoke again at this time and suggested.

However, when talking about the above, Li Xiu himself was also bottomless, because the fact that Li Shimin killed Chengxin in front of him stimulated Li Chengqian too much, and maybe even became more distorted because of this, and he completely sank into darkness from then on, and no one would be able to save him at that time.

"That's all there is to it!" Li Shimin nodded when he heard Li Xiu's suggestions, in fact, he was also in a state of confusion now, and he didn't have any ideas at all, and what Li Xiu said also made sense, as for whether it could be effective, only God knows.

"By the way, some time ago, Li Ji wrote a book, saying that the pheasant slave did a good job in Bingzhou, and Ping An Lang also made a great effort, which is also the only good news I heard during this time, but unfortunately the pheasant slave rarely writes to me, and I sometimes don't know what he is thinking?" Li Shimin suddenly changed the topic at this time, and when Li Zhi was mentioned, his originally ugly face also became a little softened, but when he said it at the end, there was a little sourness in his tone.

Li Xiu also smiled helplessly when he heard this, Li Zhi often wrote letters to himself to talk about his thoughts, but rarely communicated with Li Shimin, which made Li Shimin, who was a father, naturally a little jealous, but this can't be blamed on Li Xiu or Li Zhi, after all, Li Shimin is so busy, how can he have time to care about Li Zhi?

"Ahem, the pheasant slave is a good boy, and he just wants to help His Majesty benefit the people and take on the responsibilities of a prince." At that moment, Li Xiu coughed dryly and helped Li Zhi speak, but when he spoke, he suddenly felt a little alert in his heart, they were originally chatting about Li Chengqian, but Li Shimin suddenly turned the topic to Li Zhi, is this any deeper meaning?
