Chapter 238: Li Yuan's Promise

Li Xiu doesn't care about Li Jiancheng's life or death, and similarly, he doesn't care about Li Shimin's life or death, but Princess Pingyang can't help but care about the life and death of her two brothers, she has been unable to sleep because of Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's affairs before, if one of them is killed by the other party, the most injured will only be Princess Pingyang, so Li Xiu will ask Li Shimin about Li Shimin's plans for her.

Hearing Li Xiu's question, Li Shimin also stopped suddenly, then turned around and stared at him with a serious face, and after a long while, he slowly spoke: "Li Xiu, it's not that I want to put my eldest brother to death, but because of the situation, the development of some things is not under my control at all!" ”

"You are simply prevaricating, but you must know that if you fail to bring down the crown prince this time, there will be no affection between your two brothers in the future, and it may even develop to the point of fratricide, is this what you want to see?" Li Xiu said solemnly at this time, and even his words had already leaked a few heavenly opportunities.

"Hehe, there will be no future, before I set out on the expedition, my father has personally revealed to me that he wants to pass on his thoughts to me, as long as I quell Yang Wengan's rebellion this time and get his confession, then the eldest brother will no longer have a day to turn over, and the position of the crown prince will also be in my pocket!" Li Xiu said complacently at this time.

"What?" Li Xiu was also taken aback when he heard this, he didn't expect Li Yuan to make such a promise to Li Shimin, but then he thought that Li Yuan seemed to have said to Li Shimin more than once that he would pass on his words, and as a result, this not only made Li Shimin believe it, but also fueled Li Shimin's ambitions, and when Li Yuan broke his promise, that is, the day when Li Shimin launched a coup d'Γ©tat desperately, because in Li Shimin's opinion, this country should have been his.

Thinking of this, Li Xiu couldn't help but smile a little bitterly, speaking of which, the tragedy between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's brothers was actually caused by Li Yuan, but unfortunately now even Li Yuan himself is not aware of this problem, and when the tragedy happens in the future, he may only be able to live in remorse.

"Forget it, we outsiders can't control the affairs between your father and son and brothers, I just hope that when you do something, you can consider the feelings of the princess!" Li Xiu whispered weakly at this time.

Hearing Li Xiu mention Princess Pingyang again, I saw that Li Shimin was also in a trance at this time, and after a while, he finally spoke: "If it's possible, I don't want to hurt the eldest brother, as for the third sister's ......" Li Shimin said this, and then paused deliberately before continuing, "If I ascend to the throne, I will definitely help the third sister dissolve the current marriage, and even if you want to be with the third sister publicly, I will try my best to help you do it!" ”

Regarding Li Shimin's promise, Li Xiu could only smile bitterly, because he felt that Li Shimin and Li Yuan were very similar in this regard, when they needed you, they would make all kinds of promises to you, but if they didn't need you in the future, I was afraid that these promises would be difficult to fulfill, so he didn't take Li Shimin's promise seriously at all.

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he turned around and left again, out of politeness, Li Xiu sent him to the door, only then did he find that he saw flags everywhere on the road outside the door, and the long line could not be seen at a glance, and in the army, he also saw an acquaintance, it was Cheng Yanjin, who had done business with Ma Ye before, I saw that he was also wearing armor at this time, looking extremely powerful, and when Cheng Yanjin saw Li Xiu, he also nodded in greeting.

Seeing Li Shimin flying on his horse, and then leading this long team to Gyeongju, Li Xiu at the door shook his head again, although Li Yuan promised to pass the throne to Li Shimin, but Li Xiu was not optimistic about this matter, and even he suspected that Li Yuan just wanted Li Shimin to lead the troops to settle the sentence, so he used this kind of words to calm his heart, but when Li Shimin found out that he had been deceived, I don't know how he would feel?

On the third day after Li Shimin left Chang'an, Li Xiu estimated that the rebellion in Gyeongju should also be quelled, after all, Yang Wengan was actually forced to rebel, without any preparation in advance, and his soldiers were probably not willing to rebel with him, so as long as Li Shimin arrived, I am afraid that Yang Wengan's army would collapse, and there was no room for resistance.

But on this day, Ma Ye, who had not seen him for a few days, suddenly came to Li Xiu's house again, only to see that Ma Ye said loudly as soon as he saw Li Xiu: "The prince is really bad this time, Yang Wengan has been captured, and it is said that he has also obtained his confession, and the Qin Wang Party in the court is also like a chicken blood, and they have accused the prince of intending to rebel, so they asked His Majesty to abolish the prince's throne, but ****** is retreating, and many neutral people have begun to turn to support King Qin, and even some ****** have been shaken, Secretly began to contact with King Qin's people, in this case, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the prince to turn over again! ”

Hearing Ma Ye's words, Li Xiu shook his head slightly and said: "Uncle Ma, don't be deceived by the situation in the court, whether to abolish the crown prince or not, everything depends on Your Majesty's thoughts, as long as Your Majesty refuses to abolish the crown prince, then the prince will be fine, as for the opinions of those people in the court, it has nothing to do with the overall situation!" ”

"The evidence of the prince's accumulation of private soldiers is conclusive, even the prince himself has admitted it, and Yang Wengan is still raising the flag in Gyeongju to rebel, and the king of Qin will get Yang Wengan's confession again, as long as Yang Wengan identifies the prince in his confession and instructed him to rebel, such a big crime may only make Your Majesty angry, how do you think Your Majesty will not abolish the crown prince?" Ma Ye was stunned at this time, even with his intelligence sources, he was not very optimistic about the prince's current situation.

"Uncle Ma, if Your Majesty is really angry, I'm afraid that the crown prince would have been abolished as early as when the prince had just raised private soldiers, but it has been so long, and even Yang Wengan has rebelled, and His Majesty still has no intention of abolishing the prince, although I don't know what Your Majesty thinks, but I think even if King Qin gets Yang Wengan's confession to identify the prince, he can't let His Majesty abolish the prince!" Li Xiu replied softly, and even he suspected that Li Yuan might have seen through everything a long time ago, and just watched Li Shimin make a fuss quietly.

"This ......" Ma Ye couldn't help but show a contemplative expression when he heard Li Xiu's words, and only after a while did he nod and said, "What you said seems to make sense, but even if the crown prince keeps his position this time, I'm afraid he won't be able to compete with King Qin in a short time!" ”

"That's natural, the prince did make a mistake this time, and he was caught off guard by King Qin, I'm afraid he won't be able to turn over in a year or two, but as long as he keeps his position as the prince, then there is a possibility of turning over in the future, and King Qin may only be proud for a while, and he will still not be able to escape the fate of being suppressed in the future." Li Xiu asserted.

"According to what you say, King Qin is rejoicing again this time, and I have time to remind Lao He and Lao Qiu, lest they be implicated by King Qin in the future!" Ma Ye also touched his chin and muttered to himself when he heard this.

"Have General He and General Qiu fallen to King Qin now?" Li Xiu couldn't help but ask when he heard this, He Panren and Qiu Shili are both core figures in the Women's Army, although they are loyal to Princess Pingyang, they also have their own political positions, and as military generals, they naturally have a good impression of Li Shimin, who has made great achievements, and they have shown signs of falling to Li Shimin before, and now they don't know how?

"It's almost, Lao He is too utilitarian, and he is a Hu person, and he is rejected everywhere, so he wants to follow King Qin's background, Lao Qiu's younger brother was originally King Qin's henchman, and King Qin has also wooed him several times, so now the two of them have openly supported King Qin, and I can't stop it, but now it seems that I still have to remind them a few words." Ma Ye was also worried at this time, He Panren and his brothers who had died on the battlefield, and he naturally didn't want them to have any accidents.

"I think Uncle Ma, don't get involved, since the two generals He and Qiu have already made a choice, they can't go back now, and now that King Qin is in the limelight, if you persuade them like this, I'm afraid they won't be able to listen, not to mention that even if King Qin is suppressed in the future, but before the dust settles, no one dares to guarantee that the prince will have the last laugh!"

Li Xiu hurriedly stopped Ma Ye at this time, if he didn't intervene, Li Shimin would still be the final winner, and Ma Ye might be able to block people's promotion if he went to persuade people now, so it was best not to talk too much, so as not to complain in the future.

"Okay, listen to people's persuasion, eat well, you kid is very ghostly, and almost every word must be in big things, this time I will listen to you, regardless of them, anyway, since they have made a choice, they have to bear the consequences that may be brought in the future, it's a big deal to pull them in times of crisis, and it's not in vain to be brothers!" Ma Ye thought about it very much, and nodded immediately.

After chatting about business, it was getting late at this time, Li Xiu thought that Ma Ye had not eaten chili peppers, so he asked people to prepare spicy hot pot and send it to the living room, but Ma Ye also liked it very much after tasting it, and when he finished eating, he also asked Li Xiu for chili peppers like Li Shimin, Li Xiu couldn't help but give it, so he had no choice but to give half of the chili peppers at home to Ma Ye.

After dinner, Li Xiu personally sent Ma Ye back to rest, and by the way, he also wanted to visit Princess Pingyang, but when he arrived at the courtyard, Li Xiu learned that Princess Pingyang was not in the courtyard at all, but still stayed in the greenhouse, which made Li Xiu a little helpless, so he had to go out of the courtyard again to the greenhouse, speaking of which, he didn't come for a few days, and he didn't know what happened to those sweet potato seedlings?

It's just that what Li Xiu didn't expect was that when Li Xiu came to the greenhouse where sweet potato seedlings were planted, he found that although the sweet potato seedlings here grew very well, he didn't see Princess Pingyang, which made him a little strange, and he just wanted to ask the steward here when he got out of the greenhouse, but he didn't expect to see Princess Pingyang with a helmet and others coming out of another greenhouse, when he saw him, Princess Pingyang immediately said with a happy face: "Li Xiu, come quickly, there is good news to tell you!"
