Li Xiu and eldest grandson Wuji persuaded Li Shimin to let go of power, at least for the sake of his own health, but Li Shimin hesitated for a while, but still failed to make a decision, but this is also normal, after all, such a big matter, even Li Shimin can't make a decision for a while, so he said that he needs to go back and think about it, and Li Xiu and eldest grandson Wuji also understand.

Then Li Xiu and the two accompanied Li Shimin to pay tribute to the eldest grandson queen, and when the memorial was completed, it was not early, and they didn't plan to go back, so they stayed in the imperial mausoleum for one night, and the next day they went to Li Yuan's mausoleum, and after the memorial to Li Yuan, they returned to Chang'an together.

"Don't you think Your Majesty will delegate power?" After returning to Chang'an to say goodbye to Li Shimin, the eldest grandson Wuji immediately pulled Li Xiu and asked, they had been with Li Shimin before, and they had no time to discuss in private.

"I'm not sure about this, everything depends on whether Your Majesty can figure it out by himself, but delegating power is just a means, the real purpose is to let Your Majesty relax, so that he can recuperate, after all, with his state, if he continues to work so hard, I'm afraid it will ......" Li Xiu couldn't help but shake his head helplessly when he said the end.

"What I'm most worried about now is that if Your Majesty is reluctant to let go of power, I'm afraid that I will get into the tip of the horns again, so as to look for the art of immortality in the twilight of my life like Emperor Qin and Han Wu, and in the end it will not only end up in vain, but also cast a shadow on my own reputation in the end." Eldest Sun Wuji couldn't help but sigh when he heard Li Xiu's words.

The words of the eldest grandson Wuji are exactly what Li Xiu is most worried about, but everything they can do and say has been done, now it depends on whether Li Shimin can figure it out himself, if he still insists on going his own way, then it is likely that there will be consequences like the one foreseen by the eldest grandson Wuji, in fact, the records of Li Shimin's last few years in the history of later generations are not very glorious.

At the same time that Li Xiu and the eldest grandson Wuji were talking, Li Shimin, who returned to the palace, locked himself in the study alone, and after a long time, people passed a decree and summoned Li Zhi into the palace to see him.

Li Zhi was also dealing with the government at this time, during this time Li Shimin was ill, and the government suddenly pressed on him, which made him busy at the beginning, but fortunately, there were many ministers in the court to assist, and the eldest grandson Wuji helped, so he slowly adapted to it.

Originally, Li Shimin's illness was cured two days ago, Li Zhi thought that he could finally relax, but he didn't expect Li Shimin to go to Zhaoling, and also took away the eldest grandson Wuji, which made him lose a big help, and immediately a little busy, today is also busy from morning to night, but there are still some things that have not been dealt with, he was ready to stay up late, but he didn't expect to suddenly receive a summons from his father, so he could only put these government affairs aside and leave the East Palace.

Li Zhi thought that his father would summon him in the Liangyi Palace, after all, he is now an adult, and it is inconvenient to enter the inner palace, but he didn't expect the inner servant to take him directly to Li Shimin's study next to the Ganlu Palace, and when he came in, Li Shimin ordered the inner servant and the palace maid to retreat, and only their father and son were left in the study.

"Father, your illness is just right, and you must be tired when you come back from the palace, why don't you rest early?" Li Zhi saw that Li Shimin had a little tiredness on his face, and he hurriedly stepped forward to say with concern.

"It's okay, this time I went out to pay tribute to your mother and your imperial grandfather, during which Li Xiu and Wuji also talked to me a lot, so that I also have some ideas in my heart, so I want to talk to you." I saw Li Shimin say with a smile at this time, and pulled Li Zhi to sit down beside him.

"Father, during this period of your illness, the sons are really tired, but this also makes the sons understand the usual hard work of the father, originally the father and your illness are cured, and the sons thought they could relax, but they didn't expect the father and Mr. They went out again, and they also took away their uncle, which made the sons even more busy, but I see that although the father is a little tired after coming back, his spirit is much better, so the father may as well go out for a walk in the future." Li Zhi also said sincerely at this time.

Even he, an energetic young man, can't stand the heavy government affairs, let alone an old man like Li Shimin, especially in the past few years, Li Shimin's constant illness has made him a son very worried, but although Li Shimin came back a little tired this time, he obviously felt that Li Shimin's spirit was very strong, and this feeling was only felt by Li Shi when he was a child, so he hoped that Li Shimin would go out for a walk more, even if he was more tired.

Although the emperor's family is full of scheming, but there is also family affection, Li Shimin knows his son, and knows that what Li Zhi said is also from his heart, which makes him very moved, and at the same time feels that he has finally not looked at the wrong person, Li Zhi is indeed stronger than Li Tai.

"Pheasant slave, you must know all about what you have done for your father during this time, but you definitely don't dare to say it, but I really want to hear your opinion now!" Li Shimin took Li Zhi's hand at this time, looked at his son kindly, and said.

"Father...... What did my father say? Li Zhi was stunned for a moment when he heard Li Shimin's words, and then deliberately pretended to be confused and asked.

"Don't think about fooling things, just for my father to summon monks into the palace to ask about immortality during this time, what do you think of yourself?" Li Shimin asked again with a blank face at this time, he wanted to praise Li Zhi just now, but he didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, Li Zhi began to pretend to be confused with himself.

As soon as he heard that his father really asked about immortality, Li Zhi also made his face bitter, and he even wanted to go to Li Xiu immediately to ask for advice on how he should answer this too sensitive question, but now that Li Shimin asked it in person, he didn't give him any time to think about it at all, let alone ask someone for advice.

"Father, son...... Erchen ...... Naturally, I hope that my father will live a long life! Li Zhi vomited for a long time, and finally held back an answer that was not an answer.

"Pheasant slave, don't worry too much, I actually know that immortality is a false statement, this time I went out Li Xiu and Wuji They also joined forces to persuade me to give up this idea, but I am still a little hesitant now, so I want to hear your opinion on this matter!" Li Shimin saw that his son was sweating profusely, but he still didn't dare to say his true thoughts, which made him sigh and say.

Although Li Zhi knew that Li Shimin and Li Xiu were going out, he didn't know that Li Xiu and the two persuaded his father to give up the pursuit of immortality, which made him stunned, but then he also calmed down, since his husband and uncle had persuaded his father to give up the idea of immortality, with their identity, they would definitely have a great influence on his father, and he didn't want Yingming's father to make such a mistake in his old age.

Thinking of this, Li Zhi also suddenly felt a sense of courage in his heart, and immediately stood up straight and said: "Father's forgiveness, Erchen lied before, in fact, for Father, you asked about the immortal, Erchen was actually very opposed to it after hearing about it, because as far as Erchen knows, there are no immortal people in this world at all, and those who claim to be immortal must be some liars, so Erchen doesn't want his father to be deceived!" ”

Seeing that Li Zhi really stated his position, Li Shimin couldn't help but show a surprised expression, in fact, he looked Li Zhi up and down, and after a while, he stroked his palm and laughed: "It seems that you really didn't learn in vain with Li Xiu, I was worried that your character was weak and difficult to take on the responsibility of the emperor, but I didn't expect that now you are so decisive, now I can finally put my mind at ease!" ”

Li Zhi plucked up the courage to say what he thought in his heart, he was worried that he would anger his father, but he didn't expect that instead of being angry, his father praised himself, which made him finally relieved and said: "Erchen has always taken his father as an example, especially during this period of learning government affairs with his father, and he also feels that he has made great progress." ”

Hearing his son's words, Li Shimin couldn't help laughing, but after laughing, he hesitated for a moment and finally spoke: "Pheasant slave, my father called you here today, in fact, I want to discuss something with you!" ”
