Li Shimin was also very cautious about whether to make peace with the Western Turks, after all, this matter was originally decided by Li Yuan, and now the Western Turks have sent envoys to send all the bride price, and if they want to regret it, they may offend the Western Turks, so after listening to Li Xiu's persuasion, Li Shimin did not immediately express his position, but said that he would go back and think about it.

Li Xiu also understands this very well, after all, such a major matter, even if Li Shimin is the emperor, it is not something that can be decided in one or two sentences, maybe he will have to go back to discuss it with the eldest grandson Wuji and others, so he did not urge again, but asked Li Shimin about the situation of this relationship, after all, he didn't care much about things like this before.

Li Shimin actually hoped that Li Xiu could have more contact with government affairs, so that he could also share his worries, so he also told in detail about the situation of peace with the Western Turks, and Li Xiu only knew that when the Tang Dynasty was first established, the Western Turks showed favor to Li Yuan, and the two sides were even ready to form an alliance to deal with Jieli together.

However, a year before Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Rebellion, the Western Turks sent people to the Tang Dynasty again, this time it was the commander Ye Khan who asked Li Yuan for marriage, and Li Yuan naturally couldn't ask for it, so the marriage was decided, and then Li Shimin seized the throne, but this marriage was not abolished because of this, so the Western Turks sent people to contact Li Shimin last year, and Li Shimin did not object to this, so there was a matter of the Western Turkic envoy bringing a bride price to marry the Tang princess.

"Originally, all the ministers in the court were very in favor of the marriage with the Western Turks, and even the candidate for harmony has been decided, which is the daughter of my cousin Li Daoli." Li Shimin finally spoke.

"Li Daoli? Isn't that the younger brother of Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng? Li Shimin couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, Li Daoli's name may not have been heard of by others, but Li Daozong was a famous general in the early Tang Dynasty, and he was also one of the few famous generals in the Tang Dynasty.

"Yes, Li Daoli and King Rencheng are brothers, but because their uncle has no children, Li Daoli was passed out, but the relationship between their brothers is very close, and even the mansion where they live is adjacent, before I cut the prince of the Li clan, I originally wanted to take Li Daoli's title of King Gaoping and give him a thorn history, but for the sake of Li Daozong's face, he was only demoted to the county duke, and this time his daughter was elected and married, which can be regarded as making some contribution to my Tang Dynasty!" Li Shimin said very cold-bloodedly at this time.

Before Li Shimin cleaned up the princes in the Li clan, all those who did not make any contributions, all of them were demoted, and Li Daoli had no merit, so naturally he could not escape the fate of being demoted, but Li Daozong was a famous general of the Tang Dynasty and served as the governor of Lingzhou, so not only was he not demoted, but even his relatives were also stained.

"Your Majesty is merciful!" Li Xiu praised Li Shimin incorrectly, but when he lowered his head, he couldn't help but pout, he was feeling worthless for Li Daozong and Li Daoli, the two brothers, now Li Daoli's daughter is regarded as a princess and a relative, and Li Daozong's daughter will still be sent out to be a kiss in the future, as long as they are not particularly cold-blooded, I am afraid they will feel sorry for their daughter, but unfortunately under the general trend, they have no power to resist, and they are really a pair of difficult brothers.

"By the way, I have already figured out what you persuaded me last time, I have already recovered most of Qingque's fief, leaving him only the Kyushu fief, which is similar to Ke'er's fief, so it's not special!" At this time, Li Shimin suddenly thought of one more thing, and said slowly at the moment.

"Your Majesty is wise, this is also a good thing for Tai'er!" Li Xiu finally showed a sincere smile when he heard this, as long as Li Shimin didn't spoil Li Tai too much, he would not let him feel different from other princes since he was a child, so he would have any delusions about the position of the crown prince.

"Yes, Guanyin said the same thing, and even Wuji agrees with your words, it seems that I am really wrong!" Li Shimin also sighed at this time and said, for the sake of Li Tai's affairs, he also deliberately discussed it with the eldest grandson Wuji, but he didn't expect that the eldest grandson Wuji's opinion was completely consistent with Li Xiu.

"As the so-called authorities are obsessed, Your Majesty, as a father, sometimes inevitably acts emotionally, and the minister also deeply understands this!" Li Xiu said with a smile when he heard this, and Li Xiu was not surprised that the eldest grandson Wuji also agreed with his opinion, because the eldest grandson Wuji had always supported Li Chengqian, but Li Chengqian was too disappointed in the original history, and finally let the eldest grandson Wuji turn to support the youngest Li Zhi.

After chatting a few words of gossip at home, Li Xiu suddenly thought of smallpox, so he asked Li Shimin again for advice: "Your Majesty, smallpox has been controlled, I don't know when martial law will be lifted in Chang'an City?" ”

Hearing Li Xiu's words, Li Shimin couldn't help frowning, and then said: "Martial law in Chang'an is a last resort, and I also hope to return to normal as soon as possible, but the ministers in the court are afraid of smallpox like tigers, so the court discussed it several times, and failed to pass the decree lifting martial law, but it is estimated that it has passed, after all, the impact of martial law in Chang'an is too great, not to mention anything else, the price of food in the city has risen a lot." ”

"It's not a big mistake to be cautious about the plague like smallpox, and when the minister was outside the city, he even found a rare talent for my Datang!" Li Xiu suddenly smiled at this time and said, since he saw Liu Renliang last time, he had always wanted to recommend him to Li Shimin, and now he finally found an opportunity.

"Oh? You rarely recommend talents to the imperial court, the Su Dingfang you recommended last time has gone to Northern Xinjiang, and he has indeed lived up to your trust, and has repeatedly made great achievements, and even Cheng Bingjin praised him as a rare warrior! When Li Shimin heard that Li Xiu was going to recommend talents, he couldn't help laughing at the moment.

"Su Dingfang went to Northern Xinjiang? Didn't Your Majesty set up a martial arts academy, why didn't you let him go to the martial academy to study? Li Xiu couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Li Shimin's words, the martial arts academy was proposed by him, and Li Shimin also appointed Li Jing as the mountain chief of the martial arts academy, and he has also been paying attention to this matter, as far as he knows, the framework of the martial arts academy has been set up, and a group of students have been selected to study in the martial arts academy, so he has always thought that Su Dingfang is also in the martial arts academy?

"At the beginning, I really wanted to send Su Dingfang to the Martial Academy, but he asked to go to Northern Xinjiang to kill the enemy, in order to prove his loyalty and strength, and I couldn't refuse this, so I let him go to Northern Xinjiang to train for two years first, and then transfer back to the Martial Arts Academy to study later!" Li Shimin replied with a smile.

He is not only interested in Su Dingfang's talent, but also his character, this person defended the township when he was young, and later joined Dou Jiande's army in the world's chaos, but he is a loyal person, this kind of talent is what he needs most.

"I see, I didn't expect Su Dingfang to be so assertive, but the person recommended by the minister today is no worse than Su Dingfang!" Li Xiu nodded after hearing this, and then said with a smile.

"Oh? It is very rare to get a Su Dingfang, if there can be another Su Dingfang, it will be really my luck for Datang! Li Shimin couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this.

"Hehe, in fact, this person was originally an official of my Tang Dynasty, and the minister also met him when he was smallpox, this person is the county lieutenant of Qingtian County, surnamed Liu Mingrenliang!" At this time, Li Xiu finally recommended Liu Renliang to Li Shimindao.

"Haha~, who should I be, it turns out to be the beheading county lieutenant who killed in Qingtian County!" When Li Shimin heard the name Liu Renliang, he couldn't help laughing and said, it seems that he has known Liu Renliang for a long time.

"Your Majesty knows about him?" Li Xiu couldn't help but look at Li Shimin in surprise, a small county lieutenant, among the high-ranking officials, he was already the lowest-level official, but he didn't expect Li Shimin to know him.

"You don't know this, Liu Renliang is no longer a nobody, some time ago in the court because he almost quarreled, just because there were officials who participated in his indiscriminate killing of innocents, but some officials said that under the situation at that time, only killing people could deter the rioters in Qingtian County, and as a result, the two sides quarreled endlessly, and the officials who participated in him also gave him the title of beheading county lieutenant." When Li Shimin said the end, he couldn't help but smile a little happily.

As an emperor, he is most happy that his courtiers have different opinions, because only in this way can he balance it, which is the so-called way of the emperor, if he really makes the courtiers form an iron plate, then he is not good as an emperor.

"Behead the county lieutenant! This title is really ......" Li Xiu also couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, he supported Liu Renliang, after all, the chaotic times are harsh, in the chaotic situation of Qingtian County, it is impossible to stabilize the situation in the county in such a short period of time without killing people.

"Li Xiu, it's really not the right time for you to recommend Liu Renliang, many people in the court are ashamed of his bloody methods, and even among the scholars, there are quite a few complaints about him, in this case, I have to consider the attitude of the people in the world, so it's really not good to promote him!" When Li Shimin said the end, he also showed an embarrassed expression.

"Your Majesty, the reason why the minister recommended Liu Renliang is also because he is worried that he will be punished for killing too many people, and his character is too square, and he still needs to hone a little more, so Your Majesty might as well transfer him to another place, and you can also avoid the limelight!" Li Xiu could also understand Li Shimin's difficulties, so he suggested to him at this time that this was the real purpose of his recommendation to Li Shimin for Liu Renliang.
