Chapter 245: King Qin is too young
Later generations had a great misunderstanding about the art of looking at people, and even thought that this was a superstitious idealism. However, in fact, human inner self does have some impact on people's appearance, especially invisible things like temperament. Although the eyes cannot see it, they can be felt from many aspects. The art of looking at people comes from this. Many historical celebrities are proficient in people like looking at people, and the bearded guest is one of the best. Otherwise, they would not have felt ashamed of themselves after seeing Li Shimin and voluntarily withdrew from the Central Plains to fight for hegemony.
It is precisely because of this that Li Xiu was interested in the current attitude of the Qiurenke. In addition, the Qiurenke and Li Shimin are originally the same person, and even act exactly the same way. So Li Xiu really wanted to hear what he thinks about Li Shimin's current situation?
After hearing Li Xiu’s question, the bearded guest smiled very relaxedly and said, “Nephew, are you testing me?”
"Hehe, my nephew is just very curious. Although the King of Qin seems to have the upper hand through what Yang Wen did, he knows clearly that His Majesty has already determined to be the prince, which makes it unlikely that the King of Qin will inherit the throne. If you are the King of Qin, is there any way to deal with it?" Li Xiu asked curiously again at this time.
Hearing this, the bearded guest smiled again and said, "Nephew, in my opinion, there is actually only one biggest shortcoming of the King of Qin, that is, he is too young!"
"What does it mean? Can the Qin King solve his current predicament by being older?" Li Xiu asked in a little uncertain way when he heard this.
"Haha~, according to what you said just now, the situation facing the King of Qin is indeed very unfavorable. He has actually been trapped in the joint encirclement of his father and brother, as if he was tied up by a rope. This time his counterattack was just to loosen the rope on his body, but sooner or later he was tied firmly by the rope, so he could not move!"
"Uncle said it right. To put it bluntly, the current situation of King Qin is actually just fighting with trapped beasts. Although he knew he would fail, he was still unwilling to surrender." Li Xiu nodded in agreement when he heard this.
"The trapped beast is still fighting? Hehe, this is not necessarily true!" The bearded guest smiled again when he heard Li Xiu's description, and then said with a very cold expression, "The reason why the King of Qin is bound by ropes is actually largely because of his own reasons. As I said just now, he is too young and cannot be open to some things, such as family affection!"
When talking about the word "family affection", the tone of the bearded guest became even colder, and even a bit bloody, which made Li Xiu shocked and even felt cold all over. He already understood the meaning of the bearded guest.
"Uncle, is there no other solution?" Li Xiu asked at this time unwillingly. He understood the meaning of the bearded guest. In fact, it was exactly what Li Shimin had to do later. However, in this way, not only would he shed a lot of blood, but most importantly, Li Xiu was worried that Princess Pingyang could not bear such a blow at all.
"Hmph, even the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has begun to support the prince. What else can the King of Qin do?" The bearded guest said coldly again, "But fortunately, the King of Qin holds military power in his hand, has the support of countless people in the army, and has a group of loyal generals following him. In my opinion, this is his greatest capital. As long as he is willing, he can rely on these to break the constraints on his body at any time. The key is whether he can make such a cruel decision?"
After saying this, Li Xiu couldn't help but sit there depressedly. He didn't say anything for a long time. With the talent of the bearded guest, he could only solve this situation through force. Li Shimin's character is almost a copy of the bearded guest, but his ability is stronger than the bearded guest, younger and more ambitious, so the future change of Xuanwu Gate is almost destined.
"Why, don't you want the King of Qin to seize the throne?" Seeing Li Xiu's silent expression, the bearded guest couldn't help but smile and asked. Li Xiu was curious about his attitude towards this matter, and he was also curious about Li Xiu's attitude towards him.
"No, actually I know that if the King of Qin ascended the throne, he would definitely be a good emperor. But I don't want to see them destroy their family affection and human nature for the sake of power." Li Xiu sighed at this time. After traveling to the Tang Dynasty, he had the confidence to solve most of the problems he encountered, but unfortunately he was powerless in this matter.
"Haha, this is quite in line with your personality, but in my opinion, this is your biggest shortcoming. In addition, you are too concerned about feelings, which will make people easily grasp your weaknesses. However, if you are asked to be a counselor, it is very suitable, especially if you can unite with the King of Qin, then I am sure that there will be no problem in this world that will stump you!" The bearded guest became a little serious at the end. If he hadn't known his identity in advance, he would probably think he was a lobbyist of Li Shimin.
"Forget it, I am too lazy and don't like intrigues in the court. In addition, I have great differences with the King of Qin on some things. In addition, Princess Pingyang has always been unhelpful to the matter between the King of Qin and the Prince, so I can't help any of them." Li Xiu shook his head and said.
"Look, the last sentence reveals your nature. Men do big things, so there is no need to worry about women's ideas. If everyone is as timid as you, what else can they do?" The bearded guest couldn't help but feel dissatisfied with Li Xiu at the end. He could not understand Li Xiu's thoughts at all.
"Everyone has their own ambitions. Uncle, you cannot understand my thoughts. Similarly, I cannot understand your thoughts. Although my thoughts may be incompatible with the world, I don't want to give up these incompatible things!" Li Xiu said stubbornly at this time. He could wear the clothes of the Tang Dynasty and adapt to the environment of the Tang Dynasty, but he did not want to be truly assimilated into a person of this era. This may be the biggest difference between him and the Tang Dynasty.
Before he knew it, Li Xiu and the bearded guest chatted until midnight, but the bearded guest came from afar and was injured again, so Li Xiu finally stopped the chat and arranged for him to rest at the client. As for the Mayan girl Qu Yi, she was entertained by Princess Pingyang and the wardrobe, and also lived at Li Xiu's house.
The next morning, after Li Xiu got up, he habitually put on Tai Chi and ran a few laps in the yard. Then he saw the lady in the yard holding a towel to help Li Xiu wipe the sweat from his forehead. In the past, Yue Chan did these things, but since she got married, the lady in the yard has taken care of these jobs to take care of Li Xiu.
"Why didn't you see you when I woke up in the morning?" Li Xiu asked casually. When he woke up this morning, the lady in the clothes was not in the bed and didn't know what to do?
"I went to visit Qu Yi. She was pregnant. When she said that we were stuttering, it was difficult for people to understand, so I went to see if she needed anything to help." The lady in the air explained with a smile. When she saw Princess Pingyang bringing Qu Yi in yesterday, she was shocked. She even thought that Li Xiu had made her belly bigger, and now she came to the door. She only understood after Princess Pingyang explained.
"Oh? That Qu Yi can still speak Chinese?" Li Xiu said in surprise when he heard this.
"Of course, although Qu Yi is a foreigner, she is very smart. She has basically mastered our Tang Dynasty dialect in just a few months. She is not skilled and her pronunciation is not very accurate. However, if you carefully distinguish it, you can still understand what she means." The lady in the air smiled and said.
"It's great that she can speak Chinese. It's more convenient for her to live here in the future!" Li Xiu couldn't help but say happily when he heard this, and was also surprised by Qu Yi's intelligence. You must know that Chinese is famously difficult to learn. She was able to barely communicate with others in just a few months, which is already amazing.
"What, Qu Yi wants to live in our Tang Dynasty and not leave?" Yi Niang said in surprise when she heard this.
"Yes, Qu Yihuai's son is Zhang Shiyi's son, the guy who was beaten by Fat Sister and the others last time. My uncle also wants them to live in Chang'an and asks me to help them build a yard near us. If you have time in the future, you can go to Quyi's place more!" Li Xiu explained with a smile.
"That's great. Yesterday I had a very happy chat with Qu Yi. Her life in America was also very interesting. But yesterday I was worried that she was too tired, so I advised her to go and rest after dinner. If she lives near us in the future, I would have another person to talk to." The lady in the air couldn't help but smile when she heard this.
Seeing that Yi Niang did not look down on her because Qu Yi was a foreigner, Li Xiu was relieved. This shows that Yi Niang was still very similar to him in terms of concept. Speaking of the couple living together, apart from the influence of external factors, their personalities played a decisive role, which was what Li Xiu was most worried about before, but now he is becoming more and more at ease.
During breakfast, Qi Niang asked about Qu Yi curiously. She also accompanied the wardrobe to entertain Qu Yi yesterday. She was very curious about this woman who was obviously not a Han nationality. Li Xiu also tried his best to explain this, and at the same time asked Yue Chan and the others to find a midwife. After all, he had no experience in giving birth, and he couldn't do anything if he encountered any problems, so he still needed professionals like midwife to deal with it.
After breakfast, Li Xiu stepped into the front yard and prepared to chat with the bearded guest. Yesterday they just talked roughly. Li Xiu had many things to ask him, such as some detailed customs and culture in the Americas, etc., especially about the Mayans, and he was even more curious.
But at this moment, a familiar figure suddenly came in through the gate. When he saw the other party, Li Xiu couldn't help but cover his head. Why is this guy coming again? (To be continued.)
