Chapter 1250: Li Shimin's Visit (Part 2)

When Li Shimin came to visit, Li Xiu hurriedly invited him into the living room, but Ma Ye immediately said back because he saw that Li Shimin came to find Li Xiu specifically, so he must have something to talk about. It would be inconvenient for him to stay here, so he took the initiative to say goodbye, and Li Shimin did not keep him, so Li Xiu had to send Ma Ye away first.

"Boy, Your Majesty should be related to the prince's affairs. I even guess Your Majesty may have known that you have helped me collect the body. No matter what Your Majesty says, just follow him and never anger your Majesty for such trivial matters!" When Ma left, he quietly grabbed Li Xiu and told him.

"Uncle Ma, don't worry, I know it!" Li Xiu nodded immediately and said. He also guessed that Li Shimin came to find him and should have something to do with Li Chengqian, but he couldn't guess the specific reason.

Li Xiu sent Ma Ye away, and then turned back to the living room. Li Shimin was sitting in the hall without moving. Although there was a maid next to him, he did not move at all. Until he heard the footsteps of Li Xiu coming in, he raised his head and smiled reluctantly at him, "Li Xiu, you must know about Chengqian."

Li Xiu didn't expect that Li Shimin asked about Li Chengqian when he spoke. He was stunned at the moment, but then nodded and said, "I know a little, but this matter was just a matter of the Forbidden Palace, so it is not appropriate to make trouble in the court. This time Wei Ting did it a bit too much."

"Wei Ting's approach is wrong, but I don't plan to blame him. After all, Cheng Qian has done everything. He should have considered the consequences now. But he is so big, but he has disappointed me again and again. Sometimes I can't understand why the child who was so obedient and sensible at the time suddenly became like this now?" Li Shimin said the last time, his face also showed a painful and helpless expression. As a father, he really doesn't know how to educate his son now?

When Li Xiu heard Li Shimin's words, he smiled bitterly. Li Chengqian was probably the reason why Li Shimin became like this, but unfortunately he couldn't understand it at all. This was the worst. In fact, it was not just Li Xiu. I'm afraid many ministers knew this, but few people dared to tell Li Shimin clearly. Of course, even if they said it, Li Shimin would not believe it. For example, Wei Zheng accused him of pampering Li Tai more than once, but Li Shimin did not listen at all.

"Chengqian..." Li Xiu wanted to say something, but when he said that, he didn't know how to continue. He couldn't blame Li Shimin directly, right? Moreover, Li Chengqian has become what he is now. No matter how much he accuses Li Shimin, it will not help in the matter. What's more, even if he tells the truth, Li Shimin may not be able to listen.

Seeing Li Xiu want to speak but stop, Li Shimin thought he was the same as himself, and was disappointed with Li Chengqian and didn't know what to say or do. This made him sigh again: "Actually, I came to you today, just to lose the bitterness in my heart with you, because I really have no choice but to Chengqian, but I am unwilling to watch him fall. What should I do now?"

When Li Shimin spoke at the end, he also showed a look of confusion on his face. When he led three thousand cavalry against Dou Jiande's 100,000 troops, he was never confused. Later, he was suppressed by his father Li Yuan and his brother Li Jiancheng was excluded. However, when he faced his incompetent son, he was confused and even felt very helpless. When Empress Changsun was there, he could still have someone to discuss, but now she is not here, and only Li Xiu can discuss this matter with him.

"I also understand Your Majesty's mood very well. As a father, if I saw Ping Anlang or Jin'er doing such a thing, I would probably be angry and do something irrational." Li Xiu looked at the change in expression on Li Shimin's face and sighed again.

"Is it irrational? Do you think I'm wrong in handling Cheng Qian?" Li Shimin suddenly frowned at this time, and looked at Li Xiudao with some surprise.

Li Xiu also secretly called out badly at this time. He didn't want to express any too stimulating Li Shimin's opinion on this matter, but he didn't expect that he would make Li Shimin catch the topic, which made him unable to avoid it even if he wanted to avoid it.

"This..." Li Xiu wanted to make up another sentence to make up the topic, but he couldn't make it up for a while. In the end, he had to speak helplessly, "In fact, His Majesty broke into the East Palace that day and killed the actor in front of Chengqian. In my opinion, it was indeed a bit too much, because His Majesty did vent his anger, but it would cause great stimulation to Chengqian. He later confined him to the East Palace. He has been worried about what he would do more extreme things."

If someone else said the above words, I'm afraid Li Shimin wouldn't listen at all, but the weight of Li Xiu's speech was far beyond the comparison of others. At least Li Shimin also showed a meditative expression after hearing this. After a while, he said with a sad expression: "You are right. Now if you think about it carefully, my approach that day was indeed inappropriate."

When he said this, Li Shimin suddenly paused, then looked up at Li Xiu and said, "I heard that you helped the actor collect the body, but what I can't understand is why you did this kind of thing?"

When Li Shimin said the previous words, his expression was still very dull, but when he said the following words, his expression became a little vigilant, and he even stared at Li Xiu with some scrutiny, because he couldn't understand why Li Xiu wanted to help him collect the corpse. Could it be that what does it have to do with Li Xiu?

With Li Xiu's understanding of Li Shimin, he naturally could see what he was thinking at a glance, which made him smile bitterly, and then he had to explain: "I don't know that actor, but I just felt a little pitiful. It was just because the prince was confused for a while that time, so I wrote him into this matter. In addition, I heard that the prince attaches great importance to him. If he really lets him corpse in the wilderness, he will only make the prince feel more resentful in the future, so I asked someone to collect his body and bury him."

When Li Xiu's explanation was heard, Li Shimin was speechless for a moment. Although Li Xiu did not accuse him explicitly, the meaning in the words was actually very obvious. Even as the emperor, it was difficult to argue that a person's life and death could be decided so casually.

Seeing Li Shimin silent, Li Xiu also knew that Li Shimin had realized his impulse at the beginning, but he was an emperor after all, and it was impossible for him to admit his mistake because of such a thing, so he spoke again: "But everything has passed. The most important thing for Your Majesty now is to look forward, such as how to guide the prince in the future and not let him make today's mistake again."

Li Xiu's words also took the initiative to give Li Shimin a step, which made him feel relieved. He thought seriously and said, "This is exactly what I feel when I feel a headache. During this period, I sent Chengqian to the East Palace. I originally wanted him to reflect on his actions, but I didn't expect that he not only did not realize his mistakes, but instead... instead..."

When Li Shimin talked about Li Chengqian's recent situation, he became excited again, and even said something unscrupulously. However, he finally said: "He actually set up a statue of the actor in the East Palace to pay tribute to the actor day and night. How could he look like a prince? I am both angry and heartbroken now, and I really don't know what to do with him?"

Li Xiu sighed when he heard Li Chengqian's recent situation. If he remembered correctly, the original history books also recorded that after Shuxin was killed, Li Chengqian's reaction was almost exactly the same as now. However, the history books did not describe the death of Shuxin. They just said that they were executed in anger by Li Shimin, but did not say that it was Li Shimin's own voluntary hand. It is estimated that the history books should also avoid such things.

"Now Chengqian is afraid that Chengqian will not listen to anyone's persuasion. I even think that Chengqian may do more ridiculous things in the next period of time, but he is just using this to express his dissatisfaction to His Majesty. Your Majesty must not be too scruple with him. When his anger is almost the same, Your Majesty may as well take the initiative to do something to reconcile with Chengqian. This may make Chengqian understand Your Majesty's painstaking efforts!" Li Xiu spoke again and suggested.

However, when talking about the above, Li Xiu was also unsure, because the incident of Li Shimin killing Xuxin in front of him was too stimulating to Li Chengqian, and maybe even more distorted, and from then on, he completely fell into the darkness, and no one could save him.

"That's all!" Li Shimin nodded when he heard Li Xiu's suggestions. In fact, he was also confused now and had no idea. Moreover, what Li Xiu said made sense. As for whether it could be effective, only God knows.

"By the way, Li Ji wrote a letter some time ago, saying that Chi Nu was doing well in Bingzhou, and Ping Anlang also made great efforts. This is the only good news I have heard during this period. Unfortunately, Chi Nu rarely wrote letters to me, and sometimes I don't know what he was thinking about?" Li Shimin suddenly changed the subject. When he mentioned Li Zhi, his originally ugly face also calmed down, but at the end of the conversation, his tone was a little sour.

Li Xiu smiled helplessly when he heard this. Li Zhi often wrote letters to himself to talk about his worries, but he rarely communicated with Li Shimin, which made Li Shimin a little jealous, but this cannot be blamed on Li Xiu or Li Zhi. After all, Li Shimin is so busy, so how can he have time to care about Li Zhi?
