When Li Shimin was distressed, he didn't expect Li Xiu to come, which made him look surprised, but then immediately said: "Announce him in!" ”

After a while, he saw Li Xiu walking in from outside the hall, and what surprised Li Shimin even more was that Li Xiu still had a food box in his hand, which made him surprised again: "Li Xiu, what are you doing, why are you still carrying a food box in the palace, do you want to invite me to dinner?" ”

I saw Li Xiu walking closer with a smile, and then he put down the food box and saluted: "The minister heard that His Majesty didn't think about tea and rice during this time, so he made a few small dishes with his own hands, I remember that when His Majesty went to the minister, he also liked to eat these dishes, but I don't know if His Majesty's taste has changed after so many years?" ”

When Li Xiu was talking, he was also looking at Li Shimin, after a while, Li Shimin looked older than before, his hair and beard were much whiter and less black, the wrinkles on his face were deeper, and the whole person looked much thinner, and his face was not very good, it seemed that Li You's rebellion hit him more seriously than he imagined.

Hearing that Li Xiu really came with vegetables, Li Shimin couldn't help but be even more surprised, but when he heard that Li Xiu still remembered the dishes he liked to eat, he couldn't help but be moved, and then stood up and smiled: "That's great, I remember that I haven't eaten your dishes for a long time, hurry up and bring them up and let's talk while eating!" ”

Li Shimin said and waved back left and right, at this time they were no longer monarchs and ministers, but friends got along with each other, Li Xiu also stepped forward with a food box, but found that the bookcase in front of Li Shimin was full of folds, and there was no place to put them, but I saw that Li Shimin reached out at this time and pushed them aside, and finally made room for a place to eat.

At that moment, Li Xiu and Li Shimin sat opposite each other, and then took out a few dishes in the food box, this food box is special, double inside and outside, and can also be injected with hot water to keep warm, and finally Li Xiu also took out a small jar of wine from it, which made Li Shimin also very surprised and said: "Don't you don't drink, why do you still prepare wine, it's not interesting for me to drink alone." ”

"It's rare to have the opportunity to sit down and chat with Your Majesty, so I'll have a few drinks with Your Majesty today, speaking of which, this wine was hidden by me ten years ago, and I am usually reluctant to take it out!" Li Xiu also said with a smile at this time, he doesn't like to drink, but he likes to collect good wine, there is a wine cellar with a huge area at home, which collects good wine of various years, but Li Xiu also has many friends, these people are not small in alcohol, and from time to time they run to Li Xiu to rub wine, and the good wine in the wine cellar is also difficult to hide, for example, the jar he brought is already the oldest jar of good wine.

Seeing that Li Xiu actually took the initiative to accompany himself to drink, Li Shimin was also overjoyed, and personally took the wine jar for himself and Li Xiu, this jar of wine has been stored for ten years, it is indeed fragrant, Li Shimin can't help but do it first as a respect, Li Xiu had to accompany him to drink a few glasses, and then stop to eat and chat.

"How is General Ma's illness, now that Zhao Deyan is in the Feinu Division, he doesn't have to work too hard, if he really hurts his body, I will be uneasy in my heart!" Li Shimin opened his mouth to ask about Ma Ye's condition in the first sentence, when Ma Ye was just sick, he also went to visit, but during this time he was heartbroken about Li You's rebellion, so he didn't have time to pay attention to Ma Ye's condition.

"Uncle Ma's illness is not particularly serious, but he is old, so he seems very troublesome, and Sun Daochang does not dare to take heavy medicine, so he can only slowly recuperate, so it takes some time, but Uncle Ma's body has improved a lot in the past few days, and I walked around the ground with him yesterday." Li Xiu replied immediately, it was Ma Ye's body that began to improve, so he had time to see Li Shimin.

Hearing that Ma Ye's health was improving, Li Shimin nodded reassuringly, and then he asked about Ma Ye's details, and Li Xiu also answered them one by one.

After chatting about Ma Ye's physical condition, Li Shimin drank two more glasses with Li Xiu, and then he suddenly looked up at Li Xiu a few times, and then spoke again: "Li Xiu, you came to me today, you didn't just come to drink and chat with me, right?" ”

"Your Majesty, don't think too much, I didn't have any other purpose for coming today, but I heard that during this time, for the sake of King Qi, Your Majesty also didn't think about tea and dinner, when I first met Your Majesty today, I also found that you are much thinner than before, if it goes on like this, King Qi has not been escorted to Chang'an, I'm afraid Your Majesty, you will fall ill first!" Li Xiu also sighed at this time.

Hearing Li Xiu mention Li You, Li Shimin's face also became a little gloomy, and after a while, he spoke: "I still can't figure it out, how can you say that my son is so stupid, he was wrong before, but he actually killed Quan Wanji and rebelled, this is simply forcing himself to death!" ”

When Li Shimin said to the end, he also showed a sad expression on his face, Li You's rebellion, in addition to being angry, what he hated the most was Li You's stupidity, which was obviously just a not very big mistake, but was made a capital crime of rebellion by Li You, and even it became very difficult for him to protect this son.

"One wrong step, one wrong step, plus King Qi has been pampered since he was a child, and he is surrounded by a bunch of short-sighted villains, which made him commit a heinous crime." Li Xiu looked at the expression on Li Shimin's face and sighed.

"When I asked Quan Wanji to serve as the governor of the Qi Palace, I wrote a letter to him to keep him away from the villain around him, but he just didn't listen, and as a result, he not only killed Quan Wanji, but now he also wants to kill himself, it's really self-inflicted!" Li Shimin once again showed a gritted teeth expression at this time and said, he also hates those people around Li You very much now, and now Li Ji has escorted those people to Chang'an, and Li Shimin has already determined to execute these people, it is useless for anyone to intercede!

"How does Your Majesty plan to deal with King Qi, does he really have to act according to the law?" Li Xiu looked at the distorted expression on Li Shimin's face, and then asked again after a moment of sinking, he didn't care about Li You's life and death, the key was that if Li You was executed, it would definitely deal a heavy blow to Li Shimin, and with Li Shimin's current situation, he was really worried that the other party's body would not be able to hold on.

"I ...... I would have liked to spare him, but which of them is not a heinous capital crime for his murder of the minister, and then his rebellion? Li Shimin said very sadly again at this time, as a father, if he was not forced to do so, how could he bear to kill his son?

Hearing Li Shimin's answer, Li Xiu on the other side sighed secretly, he had an idea, but now he was very hesitant, and he didn't know whether to say it?
