Chapter 238 Li Yuan's Promise

Li Xiu did not care about Li Jiancheng's life or death. Similarly, he did not care about Li Shimin's life or death, but Princess Pingyang could not care about the life or death of her two brothers. She had been unable to sleep or eat because of Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's affairs. If one of them was killed by the other party, the one who was most hurt would only be Princess Pingyang, so Li Xiu asked her about Li Shimin's plans.

Hearing Li Xiu's question, Li Shimin stopped suddenly, then turned around and stared at him with a serious face. After a while, he slowly spoke: "Li Xiu, it's not that I want to kill my elder brother, but that under the pressure of the situation, the development of some things is not under my control at all!"

"You are simply a refusal, but you have to know that if you fail to defeat the prince this time, there will be no sympathy between you two brothers in the future, and may even develop to the point where brothers are fratricidal. Is this what you want to see?" Li Xiu said seriously at this time, and even some secrets of the world had been leaked in his words.

"Haha, there will be no future. Before I go to war, my father had personally revealed to me that he wanted to pass on my position. As long as I quell the Yang Wengan Rebellion this time and get his confession, then my elder brother will not have a day to turn over, and the position of the crown prince will be my possession!" Li Xiu said proudly at this time.

"What?" Li Xiu was also shocked when he heard this. He did not expect Li Yuan would make such a promise to Li Shimin. But then he thought that Li Yuan seemed to have told Li Shimin more than once that he wanted to spread his words. As a result, this not only made Li Shimin believe it, but also encouraged Li Shimin's ambition. When Li Yuan broke his promise later, it was the day when Li Shimin launched a coup regardless of everything, because in Li Shimin's opinion, this country should have been his.

Thinking of this, Li Xiu couldn't help but smile a little bitterly. After all, the tragedy between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's brothers was actually caused by Li Yuan. Unfortunately, even Li Yuan himself did not realize this problem now. When the tragedy happens in the future, he may have to live in regret.

"Forget it, we outsiders don't care about the affairs between you father, son and brother. We just hope that when you do something, you can consider the princess's feelings!" Li Xiu whispered weakly at this time.

When Li Xiu mentioned Princess Pingyang again, Li Shimin was also a little dazed at this time. After a while, he finally said, "If possible, I don't want to hurt my elder brother. As for the third sister..." Li Shimin paused here and continued, "If I ascend to the throne, I will definitely help my third sister dissolve the current marriage. Even if you want to be open to your third sister, I will try my best to help you do it!"

Li Xiu could only smile bitterly at Li Shimin's promise, because he felt that Li Shimin and Li Yuan were very similar in this regard. When they needed you, they would make various promises to you, but if you were not needed in the future, they would probably be difficult to fulfill these promises, so he did not take Li Shimin's promise seriously.

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he turned around and left again. Out of courtesy, Li Xiu sent him outside the door. Only then did he realize that there were flags everywhere on the road outside the door, and the long team could not see at a glance. In the army, he also saw an acquaintance, Cheng Yaojin, who had been doing business with Ma Ye before. He saw that he was also wearing a helmet and armor, looking extremely majestic. When Cheng Yaojin saw Li Xiu, he nodded to greet him.

As Li Shimin flew onto a horse and led this long team to Qingzhou, Li Xiu shook his head again. Although Li Yuan promised to pass the throne to Li Shimin, Li Xiu was not optimistic about this matter. He even suspected that Li Yuan just wanted Li Shimin to lead troops to sanction, so he used such words to calm his heart. But when Li Shimin found out that he had been deceived, he didn't know what he would feel?

On the third day after Li Shimin left Chang'an, Li Xiu estimated that the rebellion in Qingzhou should be quelled. After all, Yang Wengan was actually forced to rebel, and there was no preparation in advance. Moreover, his soldiers would not rebel willingly with him. Therefore, as soon as Li Shimin arrived, Yang Wengan's army would collapse and not even have room for resistance.

However, on this day, Ma Master, who had not seen him for a few days, suddenly came to Li Xiu's home again. As soon as Ma Master saw Li Xiu, he whispered: "The prince is really bad this time. Yang Wengan has been captured, and it is said that he has also received his confession. The Qin King Party in the court also seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, accusing the prince of intending to rebel, so he asked His Majesty to abolish the position of Prince. However, ******* was defeated step by step. Many neutral people began to turn to support the King of Qin, and even some *******s were a little shaken, and they secretly began to contact the King of Qin. In this case, it is probably difficult for the prince to turn over again!"

Hearing Ma Master’s words, Li Xiu shook his head slightly and said, “Uncle Ma, don’t be deceived by the situation in the court. Whether to depose the crown prince depends on His Majesty’s thoughts. As long as His Majesty refuses to abolish the position of the crown prince, then the crown prince will not be in trouble. As for the opinions of those people in the court, it has nothing to do with the overall situation!”

"The evidence of the prince raising private soldiers is conclusive, and even the prince himself admitted it. Moreover, Yang Wengan was still raising the flag in Qingzhou to rebel. The King of Qin received Yang Wengan's confession. As long as Yang Wengan accused the prince in the confession and instructed him to rebel, such a great crime would probably only make His Majesty angry. How could you think that Your Majesty would not abolish the position of the prince?" Ma was stunned at this time. Even with his source of information, he did not have much opinion on the current situation of the prince.

"Uncle Ma, if Your Majesty is really angry, I'm afraid that the position of the prince had already been deposed when the incident happened. However, so long has passed, and even Yang Wengan has rebelled. Your Majesty still has no intention of deposing the prince. Although I don't know what Your Majesty is thinking, I think even if the King of Qin gets the confession that Yang Wengan accuses the prince, he cannot let Your Majesty depose the prince!" Li Xiu replied softly, and even suspected that Li Yuan might have seen through everything, just staring at Li Shimin without hesitation.

"This..." Ma Master couldn't help but show a meditative expression when he heard Li Xiu's words. After a while, he nodded, "What you said seems to make sense, but even if the prince keeps his seat this time, he may not be able to compete with the King of Qin in a short time!"

"That's natural. The prince was indeed wrong this time, and was caught off guard by the King of Qin. I'm afraid he won't be able to turn over within a year or two. However, as long as he keeps his position as the prince, there is a possibility of turning over in the future. The King of Qin may be able to be proud for a while and still cannot escape the fate of being suppressed in the future." Li Xiu asserted.

"According to what you said, the King of Qin is happy again this time. In addition, if I have time, I have to remind the two guys, Lao He and Lao Qiu, so as not to be implicated by the King of Qin in the future!" Master Ma also touched his chin and said to himself when he heard this.

"Have General He and General Qiu turned to the King of Qin now?" Li Xiu couldn't help but ask when he heard this. He Panren and Qiu Shili were both core figures in the Detachment of Women's Army. Although they are loyal to Princess Pingyang, they also have their own political stance. As military generals, they naturally have a good impression of Li Shimin, who has made great achievements in combat. They had signs of turning to Li Shimin before, and now they don't know what's going on?

"It's almost the same. Old He is too utilitarian and is a Hu person. He is rejected everywhere, so he is determined to follow the King of Qin to gain a background. Lao Qiu's younger brother was originally the King of Qin's confidant, and the King of Qin has won him several times, so now they have publicly supported the King of Qin, so I can't stop it. But now it seems that I still have to remind them a few words." Mr. Ma also said worriedly at this time. He Panren and his two brothers who are living on the battlefield, so he naturally doesn't want them to have any accidents.

"I think you should stop getting involved. Since the two generals of He, Qiu have made their choice, they can no longer turn back. Moreover, the King of Qin is in the limelight now. If you advise them like this, they may not listen. What's more, even if the King of Qin is suppressed in the future, no one can guarantee that the prince will laugh to the end before the dust settles!"

Li Xiu hurriedly stopped Mr. Ma and said, "If he did not interfere, Li Shimin would still be the final winner. Mr. Ma would advise others now, which may block their promotion path, so it is best not to talk too much, so it is better not to complain in the future.

"Okay, listen to others' advice and have a full meal. You are very evil, and you will win almost every time you say it in major events. I will listen to you this time, no matter they have made a choice, they have to bear the possible consequences in the future. At worst, it will be a waste of brothers when you are in danger!" Mr. Ma was very enlightened and nodded immediately.

After talking about the main business, it was getting late at this time. Li Xiu thought that Ma Ye hadn't eaten chili peppers yet, so he asked someone to prepare spicy hotpot to deliver to the living room. As a result, after he tasted it, he liked it very much. As a result, after he finished eating, he asked Li Xiu for chili peppers like Li Shimin. Li Xiu had no choice but to give it to him, so he had to divide half of the peppers at home and give it to Ma Ye.

After dinner, Li Xiu personally sent Mr. Ma back to rest. By the way, he also wanted to visit Princess Pingyang. However, when he arrived at the other courtyard, Li Xiu learned that Princess Pingyang was not in the other courtyard at all, but was still in the greenhouse. This made Li Xiu a little helpless, so he had to go out of the other courtyard to come to the greenhouse again. Speaking of which, he hadn't come for a few days, and he didn't know how the sweet potato seedlings were like?

But what Li Xiu didn't expect was that when Li Xiu came to the greenhouse where sweet potato seedlings were planted, he found that although the sweet potato seedlings here grew very well, they did not see Princess Pingyang. This made him a little strange. He just wanted to find the manager here to ask, but he didn't expect that Princess Pingyang came out of another greenhouse with a helmet. When he saw him, Princess Pingyang immediately said with joy: "Come on Li Xiu, come here, there is good news to tell you!" (To be continued.)
