Li Yuan’s feelings for Li Shimin are extremely complicated. Sometimes Li Yuan would resent his son for taking his throne and killing his eldest son whom he had always had high hopes. However, sometimes Li Yuan had a hope for Li Shimin, hoping that he could carry forward the country he had built. This contradictory and complex psychology is really not something that ordinary people can understand. .

When Li Xiu heard Li Yuan ask about Li Chengqian's disability, he immediately thought of the above. He sighed and then thought for a moment before speaking: "Your Majesty should have heard the information from Mr. Pei. I wonder what Mr. Pei said?"

"Yes, I only heard about Chengqian from him after receiving Pei Jian today. However, he was far away from the court and didn't know much about this. In comparison, you should know very clearly." Li Yuan asked with a calm face. Although he loved and hated Li Shimin, he was still good for Li Chengqian and other grandchildren. When he was locked in Da'an Palace, Li Chengqian often visited him.

"This matter is a long story. Chengqian is getting older and sometimes has his own ideas. His Majesty thought that the prince was at the age of marriage last year, so he planned to choose a concubine for him, but Chengqian was not willing. As a result, he often went out for fun when he was in a state of depression, so he accidentally fell and injured his leg while hunting..."

At that moment, Li Xiu injured Li Chengqian's leg, which caused Empress Changsun's condition to worsen. In the end, Li Shimin was confused for a moment, so he allowed Li Tai to move into the Wude Hall to facilitate the care of Empress Changsun. Of course, this was also Li Xiu's explanation of Li Shimin's own choice. Anyway, he said that. As for what Li Shimin had in his mind at that time, only he knew.

"Hmph, this is probably the excuse he made himself!" Li Yuan sneered when he heard this, and then said, "I know my son, no one knows his father. I'm afraid he thinks I'm dead, and no one knows his little thoughts anymore. Unfortunately, I'm not dead yet. It was because he saw Chengqian's legs were broken that he wanted to establish another prince and let Taier live in Wude Hall to test the reactions of the ministers. As a result, Wei Zheng took death as a warning, and you and Changsun Wuji also opposed it, which made him dispel this idea!"

"This..." Li Xiu didn't know what to do when he heard Li Yuan's words. Although Li Yuan's views may be mixed with his resentment and prejudice against Li Shimin, it is not without reason. What's more, he is Li Shimin's father, and Li Shimin was also trained by him. So if you say that the person who understands Li Shimin the best in the world is probably Li Yuan.

Seeing that Li Xiu didn't speak, Li Yuan sneered again: "What? You don't believe it? Then I'll put my words here today. With Chengqian's current situation, he will definitely not be able to maintain the position of crown prince in the future. However, if there is a problem with Tai'er's personality, he may not choose Tai'er. This time he is just using Tai'er to test you. On the contrary, other princes may ascend to the throne!"

Li Xiu was shocked when he heard Li Yuan's words, and even couldn't help but look at him in shock, because Li Yuan's words were so accurate. In the future, Li Chengqian was indeed deposed as the crown prince. Although it was because of Li Chengqian's rebellion, who would be sure that Li Chengqian was not forced? In addition, Li Tai did not get the throne. Of course, historical books recorded it because of Li Tai's words "killing his son and passing it on to his brother", but who could confirm the true thoughts in Li Shimin at that time?

Thinking of the above, Li Xiu couldn't help but feel a chill on his back. He originally felt that he had enough understanding of the filth of the Emperor's House, but if it was really as Li Yuan guessed, it would refresh Li Xiu's understanding of the emperor again. Could it be that after becoming the emperor, even the last bit of family affection would be destroyed?

"Why don't you stop talking? Are you scared by the emperor's mind skills?" Seeing the shocked expression on Li Xiu's face, Li Yuan smiled again, as if he was very satisfied with the effect that his words could have.

"I... I don't know what to say?" Li Xiu said again at this time, showing a smile that was even ugly than crying when he spoke. At this time, he even wanted to return to Chang'an immediately, then resign the official and take his family to hide as far as possible, so as not to get involved in royal affairs again.

"Hahahahaha~ I didn't expect you to be afraid, but you don't have to worry. My son killed his elder brother and imprisoned me again, so he was full of guilt towards Xiuning, his only compatriot, and he wouldn't touch you no matter what. Moreover, as a prince consort and an important minister of the Tang Dynasty, you can't escape even if you want to!" Li Yuan seemed to see what Li Xiu was thinking, and laughed again, which caused Li Xiu to roll his eyes.

"By the way, my son wants to change the prince. What are your plans for being a gentleman in the future?" Li Yuan suddenly asked again after laughing. He was still very concerned about Li Chengqian's grandson.

"Chengqian was just injured in his leg and had never done anything too bad, so I naturally would not agree!" Li Xiu said almost without hesitation. Since he was already in the game and couldn't jump out, he simply expressed his position. After all, compared to Li Tai, Li Chengqian was already very excellent.

"Haha, I'm very pleased that you can think of this. As Chengqian's identity, if I could get the full support of you and Changsun Wuji, even if my son wanted to establish a new crown prince in the future, it would be impossible. But now I am a little worried about Changsun Wuji. I didn't like him at the beginning. I always feel that although this person is capable, there are some problems with his personal morality and only has interests in his eyes, so I am also worried that he will betray Chengqian at a critical moment in the future!" When Li Yuan said the last, a solemn expression appeared on his face again.

Li Xiu felt a little sank when he heard this, because he also thought that Changsun Wuji's attitude was indeed a bit subtle when Li Tai moved to the Wude Hall. Of course, in the end he was still standing on Li Chengqian's side like himself, but Li Xiu vaguely felt that Changsun Wuji's mentality towards Li Chengqian had changed a little, and no one can guarantee whether he would support Li Chengqian with all his strength in the future?
