Li Xiu invited the eldest grandson Wuji to a banquet, directly spread out the cards, and persuaded him to retreat from the court, otherwise it would only cause a big disaster to the eldest grandson in the future, but the eldest grandson Wuji still couldn't make up his mind, after all, he was now in a high position, and it was unlikely that Li Xiu's words would make him give up his current power.

"Brother Eldest Sun, that's all I have to say, if you still can't give up, then I only have one last way!" Li Xiu looked at the hesitant expression of the eldest grandson Wuji, and finally sighed again.

"Oh? Brother Li, what are your plans? Eldest Sun Wuji couldn't help but be stunned again when he heard Li Xiu's words.

"It's not that I have any plans, you and the emperor grew up together, you should know his character very well, when he died, he told the two of us to assist His Majesty together, you should understand the deep meaning of Your Majesty's move." Li Xiu stared at the eldest grandson Wuji at this time and said again.

"Brother Li, what do you mean by that?" Eldest Sun Wuji's face sank when he heard Li Xiu's words.

"It's not that I mean anything, but when the emperor died, I designated you and me to assist Your Majesty, mainly because you and I have special identities, to put it mildly, as long as the two of us are here, no one will want to shake Your Majesty's throne, but in addition, Your Majesty has another meaning, that is, let you and I contain each other, lest someone have different intentions, thus threatening Your Majesty, you won't be able to see this, Brother Eldest Sun, right?" Seeing that the eldest grandson Wuji did not answer his words, Li Xiu simply made his words clear.

Li Shimin's martial arts are unmatched, so when he was alive, no one under his ministers dared to have any dissenting intentions, but it was different after his death, although he trusted Li Xiu and the eldest grandson Wuji very much, but he also knew that the human heart was the most unreliable thing, of course, he couldn't do anything like Zhu Yuanzhang to slaughter the heroes, so when he was entrusting the orphan, he designated Li Xiu and the eldest grandson Wuji to jointly assist Li Zhi, in fact, they also let each other contain, after all, the possibility of two people rebelling is far less than one rebellion.

Hearing Li Xiu's words on this, the eldest grandson Wuji's face was not very good-looking, but Li Xiu ignored him, but said again with his own thoughts: "Speaking of which, I am also a little sorry for the emperor, since he died, I have not entered the court as he hoped, and the eldest grandson brother You are the dominant family in the court, which caused His Majesty's suspicion, so it is calculated, and in the end it is still counted on my head, since this is the case, then I will give up the next ten years and enter the court again, So that His Majesty can balance the forces in the court! ”

"You ......" Although the eldest grandson Wuji had already guessed, when he heard Li Xiu bluntly tell his plan, he couldn't help but feel on fire in his heart, Li Xiu's plan was very simple, that is, he wanted to enter the court and fight for power with the eldest grandson Wuji.

Speaking of which, although Li Xiu has not been concerned about political affairs for many years, his reputation in the court has increased day by day, especially since he has taught his new knowledge in the academy over the years, and many young officials in the court have listened to his classes, which can be regarded as half of his students.

In addition, Li Xiu also has a very high reputation in the army, not to mention anything else, Li Xiu's son Li Jin is in charge of the navy alone, and there are also Su Dingfang, Wang Fangyi and others in the army, these people can be regarded as the hidden forces behind Li Xiu, that is, because Li Xiu did not enter the court before, so these talents did not unite together, but if Li Xiu is determined to enter the court and fight for power with him, I am afraid that the eldest grandson Wuji will not be able to compete with him.

Of course, the above are just external forces, what really makes the eldest grandson unscrupulous is Li Xiu's own ability, he watched Li Xiu from a concubine, step by step to become the prince of the Tang Dynasty, this all depends on Li Xiu's own ability, even if he has known Li Xiu for so many years, the eldest grandson Wuji still can't see through him, which also makes him very jealous of Li Xiu in his heart.

"Brother Eldest Sun, you also know my character, power doesn't mean anything to me, it's just that first, I can't bear to see the Tang Dynasty in turmoil because of you and Your Majesty, and secondly, I can't bear to watch your long-time friend go wrong again, so I have to make this decision, and I hope you can understand my hard work!" Li Xiu persuaded again at this time.

Hearing Li Xiu's words, the expression on the face of the eldest grandson Wuji was also cloudy, not to mention Li Xiu's ability and the hidden forces behind it, in addition, he had a greater reliance, that is, Li Zhi's attitude towards the two of them, although the eldest grandson Wuji was Li Zhi's uncle, but Li Xiu was also Li Zhi's uncle, and his teacher, plus Li Zhi has become increasingly dissatisfied with the eldest grandson Wuji over the years, but he has become closer and closer to Li Xiu.

It is precisely under this kind of intimacy and distancing that if Li Xiu really enters the court, I am afraid that he will immediately gain Li Zhi's trust, and when the two of them join forces, I am afraid that the eldest grandson Wuji will only be squeezed out, and at that time, I am afraid that the eldest grandson Wuji will also become very embarrassed, and even the prestige accumulated before will be in vain.

"That's it!" The eldest grandson Wuji sat there and struggled for a long time, and finally shook his head with a shriveled body and said, "It seems that you are determined to let me quit the court, even at the expense of me and tearing my face, since this is the case, then I will fulfill your wish, anyway, my age is not young, it is indeed a little unworthy to lose your friend for the sake of the scenery of the last few years!" ”

"Hahaha~, Brother Eldest Sun really didn't disappoint me, I toast you!" Li Xiu saw that the eldest grandson Wuji was finally persuaded by himself, and couldn't help laughing at the moment, and personally poured wine for the other party, in fact, he was also afraid that the eldest grandson Wuji would insist on going his own way, and if he really wanted to enter the court at that time, I am afraid that the two would break up in the end.

"I'm also afraid of you, after all, you and I are so old, if you break your head and bleed in the court because of these things, I'm afraid you will be laughed at by future generations!" Eldest Sun Wuji also smiled at this time, and the expression on his face was much more relaxed at this time, he is also a very decisive person, as long as he makes a decision, he will not regret it anymore.

Li Xiu also knows the temperament of the eldest grandson Wuji, since he has agreed, then there is no need to worry about him regretting it, and after this matter is over, the big stone that has been pressing in his heart for several years has finally disappeared, which makes him feel relaxed in his heart, and he also broke the vow of not drinking at the moment, and couldn't help but raise a glass to the eldest grandson Wuji, but in the end, the two of them were a little drunk, and at this time, the snow particles outside the window also turned into snowflakes, and after a while, the mountains and rivers outside were covered with a layer of white.

Half a month later, the eldest grandson Wuji wrote a letter to resign, and Li Zhi repeatedly retained, but the eldest grandson Wuji had already decided, and in the end Li Zhi could only reluctantly agree, and with the withdrawal of the eldest grandson Wuji from the court, the influence left by the Li Shimin era finally completely receded.
