Chapter 647: Summoned alone

The family knew about Li Xiu and Yue Chan, and Princess Pingyang and Yi Niang had long anticipated this. In fact, putting aside feelings, Li Xiu's family could not be separated from Yue Chan. The management of affairs in the mansion and the management of industries outside the mansion were all inseparable from Yue Chan. In particular, Li Xiu had long been accustomed to Yue Chan's care. Not to mention anything else, except for the dishes made by Yue Chan, he could not eat the dishes made by others.

It is precisely because of Yuechan's importance to Li Xiu's family, and she was the first to follow Li Xiu and had a deep relationship, so Princess Pingyang and Yi Niang had already accepted her in her heart. Now Li Xiu and Yue Chan have finally made the last step. Therefore, after returning, Yi Niang and the others were ready to hold a formal ceremony for them.

However, before this, Li Xiu had another very important thing, which was to give his baby daughter a nice name. However, the naming was never good at Li Xiu. After thinking about it, he felt that it was not ideal. Moreover, he had just stayed at home for a day, and then suddenly received a summon from Li Shimin, and had no choice but to enter the palace.

In Liangyi Hall, when Li Shimin saw Li Xiu coming in, he immediately stood up with a smile and said, "I originally wanted to ask you to discuss matters yesterday, but I thought that you had been away from home for so long, so I asked you to spend more time with your wife and children at home. But now there are a lot of things, so I can only call you here!"

"Your Majesty, you are polite. I just happened to have something to discuss with Your Majesty!" Li Xiu also said with a smile. At this time, Li Xiu suddenly noticed that there was a jade seal on the desk in front of Li Shimin. It was the jade seal of the kingdom. It seemed that Ma had handed over the jade seal to Li Shimin.

"Haha, you must discuss with me how to resettle the Turks, right?" Li Shimin immediately smiled when he heard Li Xiu's words. In fact, he summoned Li Xiu to come because of this. After all, the court had a lot of quarrels over this matter. If he didn't make a decision, Wei Zheng and Wen Yanbo would really fight.

"Your Majesty is right. I heard from Brother Changsun that the court had a great quarrel in the matter because of this matter. The minister, who is the Minister of the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat, firmly opposed the incident of moving the Turks inward. I wonder what Your Majesty thinks about this?" Li Xiu nodded at this time, then stared at Li Shimin and asked. In fact, he was also a little angry because Li Shimin had agreed to him before, but now he is hesitant because of the opposition of Wen Yanbo and others. This is already a breach of trust.

When Li Shimin saw Li Xiu's serious expression, he could naturally guess what he was thinking, but he smiled calmly and said, "Don't blame me for this matter. In fact, from the beginning, I did not agree to the suggestions of Wen Yanbo and others. It's just that Wen Yanbo and others have a firm attitude, so I can't refuse directly, so I delayed it."

"Then what Your Majesty means now..." Li Xiu's heart moved when he heard this, and he vaguely guessed what Li Shimin thought.

"Haha, it's nothing. What I'm waiting for is Jie Li back. Now that Jie Li has been escorted back, my prestige is unattainable. If you implement this matter now, there will be no such great resistance!" Li Shimin said with a smile.

After Jie Li was escorted back, he was not idle these two days. The next day he took Jie Li to the Taimiao to worship his ancestors. If it were placed in the past, prisoners like Jie Li would definitely have to cut off their heads and put them on the altar with the three animals. However, Li Shimin did not kill Jie Li, but instead gave him an official and arranged for him to live in the Taifu. The food, clothing and expenses of the palace were responding to. Li Shimin even issued an order to ask Li Jing and others on the front line to gather Jie Li's wife and children and send them to Chang'an to live with Jie Li.

The reason why Li Shimin did not kill Jie Li was, on the one hand, because Jie Li had always been regarded as his biggest opponent, so he did not want this opponent to die so easily. Instead, he had to let him watch himself carefully and bring the Tang Dynasty to the road of prosperity.

Of course, in addition to the above reasons, another is that Li Shimin wanted to use this to win people's hearts. The Turks have been destroyed, but the Turks have not perished. There are still many Turkish forces on the grassland. If Jie Li is killed now, it will only arouse greater hostility from the Turks. Instead of doing so, it is better to leave Jie Li, which may also allow the remaining Turks to return to their hearts. In addition, it will also give other tribes on the grassland a good reputation, which will also be of great benefit to the future rule of the Tang Dynasty.

"So that's it. Your Majesty's staying Jie Li was indeed a hit. And after gathering the Turks on the grassland, it would be easier to send them to the south!" Li Xiu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Li Shimin had not changed his mind.

"That's true. In fact, there are more ministers who support the relocation of the Turks. After all, over the years, our Central Plains have suffered from the Turks for a long time. Even if we destroyed the Turks this time and Jie Li became a prisoner of the Tang Dynasty, many people still have some fear of the Turks, fearing that the Turks will have a chance to make a comeback. Only by completely disappearing the Turks can they feel at ease. This is also the reason why Wei Zheng and others fought to the death with Wen Yanbo!" Li Shimin also analyzed with a smile.

"I heard that although Wei Zuo Cheng suggested moving the Turks inward, he hoped to move the Turks to Henan. I wonder how many people agree with his opinion?" Li Xiu heard Li Shimin refer to Wei Zheng and asked again. Although they were all moving inward, the different locations of the migration will have a huge impact on the future.

"Haha, it seems that Wuji has told you a lot. Wei Zheng did suggest moving the Turks to the Central Plains. He believed that the number of Han people in the Central Plains was large and relatively rich. If the Turks went there, they would definitely be assimilated in the shortest time. There were still many ministers holding this view. In contrast, although there were many ministers who agreed to move the Turks to the south to open up wasteland, most of them were military generals, and their influence in the court was far less than that of civil officials. So even if I agreed to move the Turks inward, you might have to convince Wei Zheng!" Li Shimin smiled again at this time. The reason why he planned to wait until Li Xiu came back was to make a decision, and if nothing else, Wei Zheng's stubborn donkey was not easy to deal with.
