"I heard that Your Majesty has returned from Jiucheng Palace?" Next to a pool in Nanshan Villa, Ma Ye asked Li Xiu while making barbecue. He was idle today, so he, Li Xiu and Qin Qiong came to the mountains to hunt. When he was hungry at noon, he would barbecue here, and he was very free and comfortable.

"After such a big incident, Your Majesty is probably not in the mood to stay in Jiucheng Palace, so he came back three days ago. However, now the court has been quarreling for the follow-up handling of the Turks. I guess Your Majesty is also having a headache about this matter now." Li Xiu replied while brushing oil on the pheasant on the shelf.

In fact, wild animals in the mountains may not be delicious by domestic animals. For example, these pheasants have almost no oil and water on their bodies. They must be coated with oil to make them delicious. In fact, pheasants like this are more delicious when they are cooked into soup. But pots and pans are too inconvenient to carry, so they can only use the most primitive way to eat them.

"If you want me to say that Your Majesty is too tolerant to these Turks. He threw them directly to Hongzhou. Wouldn't this happen again?" Qin Qiong, who was cleaning up the internal organs of the prey next to him, also spoke. His father died at the hands of the Turks, so he has never had any good feelings for the Turks, which is a bit similar to Zhao Deyan.

"The people's resentment towards the Turks is indeed very high. His Majesty's assassination this time also triggered these resentment, so many people in the court are also clamoring to send all the Turks to Hongzhou. Your Majesty is probably in a difficult situation." Li Xiu said again at this time. In fact, he had no special opinion on this matter. Of course, it was mainly because he was in the world now, and he was lazy to worry about the affairs in the court. Even these news was something he accidentally heard from others when he was giving lectures in the academy these two days.

"A few days ago, I also talked about this matter. According to the news he received, it seems that someone in the court deliberately used this matter to make things happen, and these people were related to the aristocratic family." Ma Ye said again, You Shao was the name Shangguan Yi. After he got married, he had been living with Ma Ye and his wife. The main reason was that Ma Ye and his wife had no children and were older, so they needed He Er to take care of him. Shangguan Yi also died early, so he regarded Ma Ye and his wife as his parents.

Li Xiu was stunned when he heard Ma Ye's words. Shangguan Yi has now been promoted to Secretary-General. Although his power is not very great, he can definitely be called a close minister around the emperor, so his news is also very well-informed. Since he said that there are aristocratic families behind this matter, then there should be no mistake.

"Mr. Prince Concubine, hasn't the aristocratic family been suppressed by His Majesty? Why did they suddenly jump out? What's their purpose?" Qin Qiong was a general after all, and these intrigues in the court were not his strengths, so he asked Li Xiu for advice at this time.

"This..." Li Xiu hesitated for a moment, because it was the first time he heard about this news. After all, after resigning from office, he took the initiative to stay away from the court and rarely interacted with people in the officialdom, so he naturally didn't know some news.

After a while, Li Xiu said calmly: "It is indeed surprising that the aristocratic family jumped out this time, but in my opinion, the aristocratic family was just trying to expand the influence of this matter, so that the court's attention will be shifted to the Turks, thereby reducing the pressure on them."

"Hehe, I don't think it's that simple. These aristocratic families have become much more honest in the past two years, but this time they suddenly jumped out. I think they not only divert the attention of the court, but also they may have wanted to take the opportunity to cause trouble and expand their influence!" Ma Ye suddenly spoke at this time. Li Xiu's idea was too conservative. In his opinion, the aristocratic families might have wanted the court to fight back and pay back all the losses suffered in the past two years.

"This is also possible!" Li Xiu frowned at this time, but then he smiled calmly and said, "Let's discuss these things. Uncle Ma and General Qin have resigned from their posts and retired. I am also indifferent to the officials. I am also indifferent to the court. Let's leave those things in the court for His Majesty and the others to have a headache!"

"Hahahaha, Shubao and I resigned because we were old. You are good. We resigned at a young age. Could it be that you really want to stay at home until we are old?" Mr. Ma couldn't help laughing when he heard Li Xiu's words.

"It is also a blessing to be able to raise it at home until old age. I don't want to pay attention to those messy things anyway." Li Xiu said again, but when he said this, he suddenly smelled a scent, which scared him. He hurriedly turned the pheasant on the rack a few times. It turned out that he was only thinking about the problem, but forgot about the pheasant on the rack. One side was baked, and fortunately it was edible in other places.

Seeing that Li Xiu was unwilling to discuss this matter again, Ma Ye and Qin Qiong didn't say anything. When the game was baked, the three of them sat by the pond and started eating. Speaking of which, Ma Ye and Qin Qiong used to be both military generals, one of them was more capable than the other, but now they are older and their appetite has also been greatly reduced. Ma Ye only ate half of the roast chicken and couldn't eat it anymore. Qin Qiong only ate one, barely equal to Li Xiu. Since he came back from Liaodong, his health has been getting worse day by day.

In the afternoon, Li Xiu accompanied two old men to hunt, but for the whole afternoon, the three of them only shot a few pheasants. In addition, they encountered a few deer, but they could not shoot to death. This made Qin Qiong very upset, and she sighed that she was useless and could not even shoot to death.

In the next few days, Li Xiu was still as usual, either staying at home to accompany his family or going to academy to give lectures. Now the content of his lectures is no longer limited to mathematics. Sometimes, on a whim, he will also offer special courses such as astronomy, geography, chemistry and physics. Although these courses have no direct relationship with the imperial examination, they can satisfy human innate curiosity. Therefore, there are many people who listen to the lectures, and there are even a few who are obsessed with individual courses and want to learn more content with Li Xiu.

Although Li Xiu was very optimistic about these students who were eager to learn, he even felt that some ancient scientists like Zhang Heng and Shen Kuo might appear among these people in the future, but he was not eager to achieve success. Instead, he slowly observed in secret to see if their perseverance and perseverance could meet his standards for accepting students?

As for the quarrels against the Turks in the court, Li Xiu did not care much about it, but the students in the academy were originally the group who were most concerned about the government affairs. As long as they were studying, many people would discuss the government affairs, so sometimes Li Xiu would inevitably hear some news. Half a month later, the quarrel in the court ended because Li Shimin finally made a decision.

Although countless ministers in the court suggested moving the remaining Turks to Hongzhou, Li Shimin finally withstood the pressure and did not agree to this request. First of all, if he agreed, organizing these Turks to Hongzhou alone would consume countless manpower and material resources, especially because they lived in the Central Plains and Guanzhong area for many years. Now they are suddenly moving, and all aspects involved are more troublesome than those of the Turks back then.

In addition, Li Shimin had a deeper consideration, that is, the remaining Turks all surrendered to the Tang Dynasty at the beginning. In order to show their tolerance, Li Shimin ordered these Turks to live in the most prosperous areas of the Tang Dynasty. If they were suddenly moved to Hongzhou now, all his previous efforts would be wasted, and the reputation of kindness that he had finally managed would be wasted, which made Li Shimin extremely reluctant to leave.

In addition to the above, based on Li Xiu's private speculation, Li Shimin is likely to know that the aristocratic family is also fueling the fire behind this matter. With his personality, he naturally won't let the aristocratic family succeed, so he rejected the requests of many people under the pressure from the court.

However, the impact of the assassination of Li Shimin this time was too bad, so Li Shimin did not simply let the Turks go. For example, the Heluofu, who was killed by the association, was unlucky, but was demoted by Li Shimin and exiled to Lingnan. It was even worse than going to Hongzhou, and he would never think of coming back in his life.

In addition, the Tang Dynasty also tightened its management of the Turkic people. For example, in the past, there were many Turkic officials in the Tang Dynasty, and they could even be promoted normally. However, after this incident, it was difficult for Turkic officials to be promoted again. Even ordinary Turkic people wanted to be officials through normal channels, and even business and workmanship were affected. This also caused many Turkic people to find ways to change their clan status. Even if this generation is not good, the next generation would have to change it, otherwise they would not be able to live normally in the Tang Dynasty.

As Li Shimin made the decision, the storm finally subsided. However, Li Xiu still couldn't understand one thing, that is, why did the aristocratic family make a fuss about this matter? What is their real purpose? Is it really as he guessed, to divert the court's attention from them?

Although Li Xiu didn't want to pay attention to the affairs in the court, it was sometimes inevitable to be affected, especially the previous saying "The world is going to be in chaos", and Chai Shao has a close relationship with the aristocratic family, so this made Li Xiu have some associations. In addition, based on Li Xiu's understanding of the aristocratic family, they have always been far-sighted in their work. This time the Turkic affairs are likely to be a small part of the aristocratic family's plan, and there may be other longer-term plans later.

Thinking of the above, Li Xiu couldn't help but feel a little headache. Finally, he simply shook his head and forced himself not to think about these things anymore. But then he couldn't help but smiled with a little self-deprecating smile, saying that he was resigning, but sometimes it was still difficult to control himself to think about these things.
