"Your Majesty, I heard that these two Persian missions are true, why did this happen?" Li Xiu pondered for a moment, and then he asked on his own initiative. Since Li Shimin turned the topic to the Persian mission, he could just take this opportunity to clarify the little things about the Persian mission.

When Li Xiu asked about the two Persian missions, Li Shimin said helplessly: "The two Persian missions are indeed true, but one comes from the sea and the other comes from the land. At first, I thought it was the Persian king who was worried that one of the missions would not reach the Tang Dynasty, so he sent two. But in the past two days, I finally figured out that although these two missions were both true, the people who sent them were not the same. In other words, Persia has actually split into two forces, and both sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty, but they actually met in Chang'an by chance."

"It's true!" Li Xiu nodded when he heard this. Things were the same as he guessed, but then he asked curiously, "Your Majesty, I heard that the Persian King Xinli is still a child. Which of these two missions represents the Persian King?"

"It's the Persian mission you sent. Speaking of which, the Persian king was really strange. He actually sent a woman as an envoy. I don't know if it's really no one available. However, the origin of this woman should not be simple. Although she did not confess her origin when she met me, she should be a Persian royal family and was very close to the Persian king. In addition to the letter of the country, she also brought a handwritten letter from the Persian king. However, the Persian king was too young. Although he wrote the letter himself, the contents were probably taught to him by others." Li Shimin also explained with a smile.

"The people from the Persian king came from the sea, and the people from the land should be the real power faction within Persia. After all, there had been civil strife in Persia before. Five kings were replaced in five years. The current age of Persian kings would definitely not be able to control the real power faction in China, and they were even controlled by the real power faction. However, the Persian royal family must be unwilling to give up, so they bypassed the real power faction and sent a delegation from the sea!" Li Xiu spoke again at this time, and he finally understood the origin and background of these two delegations.

"Yes, after the mission from the sea arrived in Chang'an, it kept begging us to send troops to help Persia overcome this disaster. However, Persia is too far away from us. It is not realistic to send troops from the land to pass through the Western Regions and the territory of the Western Turks. It is even more risky. It may be a storm that will wipe out the entire army, so I didn't agree with them at all, but it was not easy for them to run so far. So in the end, I discussed with Wuji and decided to help them a batch of weapons and armor, which is also the end of the righteousness."

When he said this, Li Shimin paused for a moment and then spoke again: "But now another Persian mission came from the Western Regions, which made me not know who should give this batch of weapons and armor. Now the two missions are arguing about who represents Persia, but are also fighting for this batch of weapons. I am also very troubled by this matter now."

"What do other ministers in the court mean?" Li Xiu thought for a moment when he heard this, and then asked.

"Most of the ministers in the court think that the opinions of the ministers should be handed over to the envoys sent by the Persian king. However, I think the Persian king is young and faces a great enemy outside, so he may not be able to hold on. Compared with it, those powerful factions are worth winning over. If they defeat foreign enemies in a day, our Tang Dynasty can also take the opportunity to make friends with them, and the trade routes to the west will be smoother in the future." When Li Shimin spoke at the end, he also showed a bit of calculating expression on his face.

Hearing this, Li Xiu finally understood Li Shimin's plan. It turned out that his eyes no longer stopped in the Western Regions, but turned to the farther Persia. This shocked and admired Li Xiu. No wonder Li Shimin was called Tian Khan. This vision alone was no longer comparable to ordinary people. However, Li Shimin's prediction of the situation in Persia was wrong. He thought that Persia had a possibility of a turnaround, but he didn't know what kind of enemies Persia was facing. You must know that even the Tang army was defeated by the Arabs in the future, which also led to the Tang Dynasty's complete loss of dominance over Central Asia.

Thinking of the above, Li Xiu couldn't help but show a solemn expression. After a moment, he spoke again: "Your Majesty, I feel that with the current situation in Persia, I'm afraid there will be no chance to turn the tables in the future, so for us, it doesn't matter to hand over the aid materials to anyone!"

"This... are you sure that Persia will not have a chance to turn the tables?" Li Shimin couldn't help but show a surprised expression when he heard Li Xiu's words. If someone told him, he would probably be suspicious. However, Li Xiu's vision was extremely accurate and he would not make any mistakes almost every time. This is one of the reasons why Li Shimin values ​​Li Xiu very much.

"I can't say it's very certain, but at least seven or eight points. In addition, I think the situation in Persia is actually terrible. Even if our Tang Dynasty can send troops, it may be difficult to change the result. Therefore, it is not very important to provide assistance or not. If Your Majesty really wants to help the Persians, you can invite the Persian king to the Tang Dynasty to avoid it. There may be a chance to restore the country in the future." Li Xiu also spoke again at this time.

Hearing Li Xiu say this, Li Shimin couldn't help but show a meditative expression. After a while, he finally said, "I understand what you mean. I will consider your suggestions carefully!"

After Li Shimin said the above, he shifted the topic to other places, such as asking about Li Xiu's experiences in the south, Su Ya's birth, and Li Ke's situation in Yangzhou, and Li Xiu also answered one by one.

Finally, Li Xiu stood up and said goodbye. Li Shimin also personally sent him out of the hall. From the beginning to the end, he had never asked about Li Chengdao's matters. He seemed to have no idea about Li Chengdao's return, which made Li Xiu finally relieved and left the palace in a carriage.

Whether he left or came back to Chang'an, Li Xiu was very low-key and did not attract much attention. Of course, a few people who followed him knew about his return, but they also knew that Li Xiu Xijing was. Except for some friends, few people came to disturb him. However, Princess Pingyang visited Li Yuan several times, and later Li Xiu also went with him, because Li Yuan's health was a little bad. Although he had no serious illness, he continued to suffer minor illnesses, which made Princess Pingyang very worried.

But on this day, Li Xiu happened to go out, and a servant came to report that it was a Persian envoy who came to visit!
