Although Li Shimin wanted to protect his son, but thinking of what Li You did, if he didn't kill Li You, it would be really difficult to calm the anger in the court, so he was already biased towards Li You, of course, he has not completely made up his mind now, but according to the original historical development, Li You is almost certain to die.

"Your Majesty, the minister is a father like you, as a father, but he wants to execute his son, if it is a minister, even if he can be ruthless for a while, I am afraid he will regret it in the future!" I saw that Li Xiu was silent for a while, and finally suddenly raised his head and said.

As soon as Li Xiu's words came out, Li Shimin's face also showed a painful look, as a father, even if his son is not successful, but he is still his own son after all, Li Shimin is of course reluctant to kill him, so Li Xiu's words are like a sharp sword, piercing his heart.

"If you regret it, you will regret it, if he does these bastard things himself, he should pay the price for his comeback!" Although Li Shimin was in pain, he still said in a ruthless voice in the end, but when he said these words, he also felt that his heart was bleeding for it.

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Xiu didn't know what to say for a while, and he was silent at the moment, but at this time, Li Shimin suddenly raised his head and asked, "What?" Li Xiu, you don't want me to kill Li You? ”

"Does Your Majesty want to listen to me?" I saw that Li Xiu also raised his head and stared at Li Shimin at this time.

"You say!" Li Shimin also stared at Li Xiu's eyes and said.

I saw Li Xiu take a long breath at this time, and then said with a solemn face: "Actually, Your Majesty and I are also very conflicted about how to deal with the King of Qi, standing in the position of courtiers and even ordinary people of the Tang Dynasty, I naturally hope that Your Majesty will maintain the majesty of the laws of the Tang Dynasty, even if the prince violates the law, he must be dealt with according to the law!" ”

Hearing Li Xiu's words, Li Shimin couldn't help but show a gloomy look, but at this moment, I saw Li Xiu continue to say: "But from the standpoint of a friend, I don't want to see Your Majesty's father and son kill each other, because I know that if Your Majesty really kills Li You, I will definitely regret it because of this incident in the future!" ”

As soon as Li Xiu's words came out, Li Shimin was also immediately shocked, the reason why he preferred to execute Li You was mainly because he knew that almost everyone in the court supported the execution of Li You, although he was the emperor, he could not really do whatever he wanted, and sometimes he also needed to consider the opinions of hundreds of officials, but he didn't expect Li Xiu to be a friend at this time, and he didn't want him to execute Li You.

However, Li Shimin was only excited for a moment, but in the end, he suddenly looked like a deflated ball, and his whole body was a little aggrieved: "Forget it, as a father, I naturally don't want to execute my son with my own hands, but as an emperor, I have to make a choice between family affection and the law, if I don't kill him this time, won't more people follow suit in the future, and where should I put the law then?" ”

Hearing that Li Shimin still insisted on his decision, Li Xiu also sighed secretly, hesitated for a moment and finally proposed: "Originally, the minister came to see Your Majesty as a friend this time, and he wanted to persuade His Majesty to imprison King Qi and spare his life, but since Your Majesty has made a decision, the minister will no longer say anything, but the minister feels that King Qi is the prince after all, and the rebellion is very involved, and I hope that it is not too late for Your Majesty to make a decision after hearing clearly!" ”

"Don't worry, I'll be cautious!" Li Shimin also took a deep breath at this time.

Li Xiu accompanied Li Shimin and chatted until it was getting late, and then he said goodbye and left the palace, but this time he did not achieve his goal of persuading Li Shimin, because he was worried that after Li Shimin killed Li You, it would cause him a mental blow, so he wanted to persuade Li Shimin to spare Li You's life, but he didn't expect that Li Shimin had already made up his mind and chose the latter between family affection and law, which made Li Xiu unable to persuade him, and finally had to give up.

A month later, Li You was finally escorted to Chang'an, Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the three divisions of Yushitai were jointly interrogated, and Li You's rebellion was not very complicated, so it was easy to interrogate clearly, but Li You used to make friends with people in the rivers and lakes and recruit private soldiers, and the main force of his rebellion was this group of recruited private soldiers, and Li Shimin also hated these people, so he quickly ordered a thorough investigation, and as a result, many people who were previously related to Li You were also arrested.

"During this time, Chang'an City is really lively, even our Fei Nu Division has been instructed to jump chickens and dogs, this bastard of King Qi is really harmful!" By the Huangqu River, Ma Ye, who was supported by Li Xiu, shook his head and sighed as he walked.

"Uncle Ma, why do you bother with these things, Fei Nusi has Zhao Deyan watching over there, and it is the right thing for you to take care of your body with peace of mind!" Li Xiu complained at this time, although Ma Ye's illness is almost better, his physical condition is too poor, so his recovery is also extremely slow, and now he has to be supported by someone when he walks, and Sun Simiao said that Ma Ye can no longer be let work hard, otherwise he may get sick again, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

"I didn't really care about the affairs of Feinusi, I just looked at the information sent by the people below when I was bored to find out about the situation outside, you are all just worrying!" Ma Ye was not convinced, there was a supervisor of Guanghua County at home, and he finally came out to breathe, but he had to listen to Li Xiu's count, which made him very unhappy.

"Okay, Uncle Ma, we know this in your heart, but Daochang Sun said that if you get sick again, then the situation will be dangerous, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the county lord and hate, right?" Li Xiu spoke again to persuade.

As soon as he mentioned his wife and hate, Ma Ye finally stopped arguing, but he still had an angry expression on his face, and he still seemed unconvinced, but soon he said again: "Last time you failed to persuade Your Majesty, Your Majesty is ready to execute King Qi, and now under the trial of the three divisions, King Qi's crimes have been investigated clearly, and those shrimp soldiers and crab generals have also been arrested, it is estimated that as long as the people involved in them will be executed together with King Qi in the end!" ”

"Alas, I can't live if I do my own evil, I don't care about Li You's life and death, it's just that Your Majesty is ruthless to kill him now, and he will definitely regret it in the future, plus his current physical condition, I am really worried that he will suddenly be unable to hold it one day." Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh at this time.

The last time Li Xiu saw Li Shimin, the other party almost became an old man, and Princess Pingyang was a few years older than Li Shimin, but now she is still a beautiful woman, of course, men and women are different, but Li Xiu is only a few years younger than Li Shimin, and now the two of them are standing together, it is like a generation apart, Li Xiu is a person who understands medicine, so he is naturally very worried about his physical condition.

"Your Majesty is also I watched grow up, he was strong when he was young, he never saw him sick, and he was born with divine power, and his martial arts were also very exquisite, at the age of eighteen, I was no longer his opponent, even if it was a fierce general in the court, I am afraid that only a few people such as Wei Chigong and Shubao were stronger than him, but if you look at it now, Your Majesty is not yet fifty years old, but he has aged into what he is now, others only see His Majesty on the throne with infinite scenery, but who knows that in order to govern this huge empire, Your Majesty even got into it with his own body. Ma Ye also sighed again at this time.

Li Xiu heard Ma Ye's words, and also showed a sad look for a while, Li Shimin in order to lead the Tang Dynasty to prosperity, not only into his own health, but also the most important family affection, the eldest brother Li Jiancheng died at his hands, his father Li Yuan also resented him, and finally cheated to death to leave the Tang Dynasty, and usually he had no time to accompany his children, as a result, Li Chengqian, Li Tai and others were not very worry-free, and now Li You is even more of a monstrous disaster, even Li Shimin can't save him.

"By the way, speaking of King Qi's matter, something happened yesterday, that is, in the investigation of the people involved in King Qi's rebellion, in the end, I didn't know how to investigate, and I actually found the head of a personal guard next to the prince, but this personal guard is now also arrested in the prison of the Criminal Department, and I don't know if it will implicate the prince." At this moment, I suddenly heard Ma Ye speak again.

However, as soon as Ma Ye's words came out, he obviously felt Li Xiu's hand trembling a little, and then saw Li Xiu's pale face and asked, "Uncle Ma, what is the name of this guard?" ”

"What's the name?" Ma Ye was also very surprised when he saw Li Xiu's performance, but he still thought about it and replied, "I remember that the other party's name is very strange, it seems to be Su ...... ...... Dry Skin"

"Is it called Su Gan Chengji?" Without waiting for Ma Ye to remember the other party's name, Li Xiu asked again.

"Yes, that's the name, but how do you know?" Ma Ye didn't expect Li Xiu to know the name of this personal guard, and combined with Li Xiu's strange performance just now, he couldn't help but be even more surprised.

"I ...... I've seen each other by Cheng Qian's side before, so I know that he has such a personal guard by his side! Li Xiu replied with a forced laugh at this time, but the expression on his face was very ugly.

In fact, there are so many guards around Li Chengqian, and Li Xiu can't know them all, but he still knows the name of this Su Gan Chengji, because as far as he knows, the reason why Li Chengqian's rebellion was exposed was because this Su Gan Chengji was implicated in Li You's rebellion case, and as a result, in order to make meritorious contributions, Su Gan Chengji actually reported Li Chengqian's rebellion, which led to the prince's rebellion case, and the two cases broke out almost at the same time, and the blow to Li Shimin can be imagined.

Although Li Xiu had been mentally prepared for Li Chengqian's rebellion, when this matter was really about to break out, he also felt a little flustered for a while, and he couldn't care about accompanying Ma Ye anymore, and after finding an excuse to send Ma Ye back, he immediately locked himself in the study, thinking about the possible impact of this incident.
