Chapter 1249: Li Shimin's Visit (Part 1)
"Just a mere actor, I'll die if I die. Is it worth the trouble you have to bury him?" In Li Xiu's living room, Ma Ye said to Li Xiu a little while tasting tea.
"This Xuxin is also a pitiful person, and he did not do anything evil. He happened to be involved in this matter, and he died inexplicably. Moreover, his body was thrown into the mass grave outside the city. It was really pitiful. To me, it was just a small task to help him bury him, just treat it as a good deed." Li Xiu also smiled bitterly at this time.
A few days ago, Li Shimin killed Xingxin in front of Li Chengqian, and did not even keep the body for Li Chengqian. As a result, the guards in the palace casually threw Xingxin's body to the mass grave and finished it. After hearing about this, Li Xiu brought Xingxin's body back and paid for him to bury him in the east of the city. As a result, this matter was opposed by Mr. Ma, because Xingxin was killed by Li Shimin himself after all, and Li Xiu actually took a certain risk to help him collect the body, so he felt that it was very worthless.
"You, even if you are too soft-hearted and kind, fortunately, you know your shortcomings, so you quit the court early. Otherwise, if you stay there, you might suffer a big loss one day!" Master Ma couldn't help but sigh when he heard Li Xiu's words. He had no son in his life, so he always regarded Li Xiu as his son. It was precisely because of this reason that he was particularly concerned about Li Xiu.
"Uncle Ma, you are just praising me. I am not a good person. When it comes to killing people, I will never be lenient. But sometimes I feel a little uncomfortable when I see an innocent life passing away." Li Xiu couldn't help but smile again when he heard Ma Master's words. His feelings had been fixed in his previous life. Even when he came to the Tang Dynasty, there was no big change. Therefore, sometimes doing things would seem out of place with the Tang Dynasty, which is normal for Ma Master to not understand.
"Forget it, you kid don't know what you are thinking. After knowing you for so many years, I still can't guess your character." Mr. Ma couldn't help but sigh again. He knew countless people in his life, and there were almost no one he couldn't see through, but Li Xiu was an exception. Even after being together for so many years, sometimes he still felt that Li Xiu was full of mystery.
Hearing Mr. Ma's words, Li Xiu couldn't help but smile helplessly, but he didn't want to continue the topic, so he asked, "Uncle Ma, didn't Brother Deyan say he wanted to come back? When will he set off?"
"At the beginning, we have to wait until the spring is in full bloom. After all, the weather is so cold now, and it often snows in the Western Regions. The road is blocked by accident." Mr. Ma finally raised his head and replied when he heard Li Xiu's inquiry.
"Well, when Brother Deyan comes back, Uncle Ma, you have a good rest. Didn't Your Majesty say you want Brother Deyan to take over your work? Then you should cultivate his abilities so that you can be more leisurely." Li Xiu advised again at this time. During this period, Zhao Deyan was not here, and Feinusi's affairs were all over Ma Ye alone, which made Ma Ye's body unable to bear it. He fell seriously ill some time ago.
"I know my body myself, and I won't do anything randomly. In addition, Ping Anlang is really promising. He did a good job in Bingzhou. Yesterday, Li Ji actually wrote to the court in person to ask for merit for him and the King of Jin, saying that they would govern Bingzhou in an orderly manner. Although the memorial was a bit exaggerated, Your Majesty rarely heard such good news. Therefore, he also issued an order to reward King of Jin and Ping Anlang. Ping Anlang is too young now, and he may be able to serve as the chief of the King of Jin in the future." When Ma Ye said the last, he couldn't help but show a hint of relief.
Li Xiu was also happy when he heard this. After all, his son was able to achieve something, so he was naturally happy as his father. As for the head of the royal palace, he didn't care, because this position was too important, especially for the prince, the head of the royal palace has always helped them manage the government affairs of the state government, so generally only those with outstanding talents and both moral integrity and talent can serve. For example, now Li Ji is also the chief of the Jin royal palace. Of course, as Li Ji is the identity of Li Ji, it is impossible for him to always serve. He will definitely be re-appointed in the future. He will have a good chance at that time.
When talking about the child, Li Xiu couldn't help but think of his other children. Mr. Ma also liked these children very much, so the two talked about the child. Hener and Shangguan Yi also had several children. The older ones had been sent to Li Xiu for cultivation, while the younger ones were taken care of by Hener and Princess Guanghua. Therefore, Mr. Ma was also very concerned about the child's affairs.
"The cultivation of children is absolutely sloppy, especially for parents, they should pay great attention to the cultivation of children. Others cannot replace the role of parents at all, otherwise they will be like Your Majesty..." Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh at the end, but he couldn't continue to say this, because compared to his own children, Li Shimin's sons are not worried about it, and only Li Ke and Li Zhi are better. As for Li Chengqian, Li Tai and others, Li Shimin was worried. These were caused by his busyness before, so he neglected the education of his children.
Hearing Li Xiu's words, Ma Ye nodded in agreement. He was about to say something, but suddenly he saw the servant running to report: "Your Ma Ye, Your Majesty is here!"
"What?" Li Xiu couldn't help but shouted in surprise when he heard the servant's report. Then he looked at Ma Master. Neither expected that Li Shimin would suddenly come, but they quickly reacted and stood up and went outside to prepare for the greeting.
However, just as Li Xiu and Ma Ye left the living room, they saw that Li Shimin had already walked in from outside, and were wearing casual clothes, and only had a few close-fitting guards around them. It seemed that they were traveling in a silly manner, which made Li Xiu feel relieved, because usually, as long as they travel in a silly manner, it means that Li Shimin had nothing important to them, and at most they would just discuss something with him.
"See Your Majesty!" Li Xiu and Ma Master stepped forward and saluted.
"No need to be polite. I am in a bad mood during this period, so I went out to relax. Unexpectedly, after leaving the city, I came to you unknowingly. It seems that it is still the habit I developed before!" Li Shimin smiled at Li Xiu and the others at this time, but he was worried now, so the smile on his face also seemed a little forced.
