Nine hundred and twentieth chapters quarrel in the palace

Seeing Princess Pingyang wink at her, Li Xiu immediately realized it. He did not ask Li Lizhi why she came to her place again, but instead changed her words to ask about her life and study. Although Li Lizhi first came to Li Xiu mainly for treatment, she also studied with Li Xiu later, and was also one of Li Xiu's best students.

Speaking of which, Li Lizhi is already thirteen years old this year. Ordinary girls develop early, and they look a bit older at the age of thirteen. However, Lizhi's heart is not good. Even if she exercises actively, it still affects her growth and development. She looks younger than children of the same age. Heianro, who is two years younger than her, is now one head taller than her.

However, when Li Xiu asked, he clearly felt that Li Zhi was depressed. It was probably why Princess Pingyang refused to ask her. This made Li Xiu secretly wonder in his heart that Li Zhi had been taking care of Empress Changsun in the palace for a while. Could it be that something happened to Empress Changsun?

After dinner, Princess Pingyang called Li Xiu alone to the room, then closed the door and spoke: "There was a quarrel in the palace. Li Zhi ran out of the palace when she was angry and would not go back tonight."

"Arguing? Who quarrels with whom?" Li Xiu suddenly heard Princess Pingyang's words, and he didn't react for a while and asked back.

"Who do you think it is so angry that Li Zhi is unwilling to return to the palace?" Princess Pingyang said angrily at this time. She not only felt sorry for Li Zhi's niece, but also felt sorry for Empress Changsun's sister-in-law. After all, she was sick and now she was so angry. I don't know what she would be angry about?

Li Xiu immediately woke up and realized when he heard this, but he was a little surprised. It was said that Empress Changsun's illness had not yet recovered, so Li Shimin shouldn't make her angry? But then Li Xiu thought about Li Tai's move into Wude Hall, and immediately understood. It was estimated that Empress Changsun also heard the news, so she had a fight with Li Shimin.

Speaking of which, Li Xiu and Empress Changsun had never met many times. After all, the rules in the palace were strict, and the concubines in the palace were generally not allowed to meet foreign ministers. This was the rule set by Empress Changsun himself. In order to be responsible for her, she even did not even see her own brother Changsun Wuji. Only in some more important ceremonies can Li Xiu, as a foreign minister, look at Li Shimin's concubine team from afar. For example, at Li Yuan's funeral last time, Li Xiu had met Empress Changsun.

However, although they didn't meet many times, Li Xiu still admired Empress Changsun very much. Not only was she a good wife of Li Shimin, she managed a huge harem in an orderly manner. She had never heard of a dispute between concubines. She also had an extremely keen political vision and could also give Li Shimin some suggestions in some government affairs. For example, for Wei Zheng, Li Shimin had wanted to kill the other party several times, but Empress Changsun asked for mercy for Wei Zheng several times. It can be said that if Empress Changsun had not asked for mercy for Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng's grave was now three feet tall.

It is precisely because of the above that Li Xiu was almost certain that after Empress Changsun knew that Li Shimin had Li Tai moved to Wude Hall, she would definitely oppose it. First, she knew that this would lead to an unstable position of the prince, which would affect the country and country of the Tang Dynasty. Second, she did not want her two sons to fight for it, so as long as she was still alive, she would never let Li Shimin go his own way.

"No wonder the queen was angry and even quarreled with His Majesty. It turned out to be because of this!" Li Xiu thought of the above, and he couldn't help but say to himself that Empress Changsun is a very general woman. She usually doesn't quarrel with Li Shimin like today, unless Li Shimin was really confused this time, and letting Li Tai move into the Wude Hall was simply torture the internal struggle between the two brothers. As a mother, Empress Changsun would naturally be angry.

"What's wrong? Husband knows why they quarreled?" Princess Pingyang couldn't help but ask curiously when she heard Li Xiu's muttering voice. She originally didn't want to pay attention to Li Shimin's family affairs, but Lizhi grew up with her since childhood. She always wanted a daughter but failed to get what she wanted. Therefore, she also treated Lizhi as her daughter to raise her.

"Cough, this..." Li Xiu coughed dryly and hesitated for a moment. Although Chang'an City had already been rumored to be full of storms, he lived outside the city and Princess Pingyang rarely entered the city, so he didn't know whether Li Tai moved to the Wude Hall for the time being. Li Xiu didn't know whether he should tell her about this?

"My husband will say anything. If it weren't for the lizhi, I wouldn't bother with their family affairs!" Princess Pingyang said unhappy when she saw Li Xiu hesitating.

"Okay, madam, don't be angry, I'll say it..." Li Xiu naturally didn't want to make his wife angry because of this little thing. He immediately told the story, and even told the story of Wei Zheng's advice for his death and threatened to resign from his post today.

"Bao!" Princess Pingyang was so angry that she slapped the table and said angrily, "Chengqian's injury has not healed yet, but he has already started to look for a candidate to replace the prince. He is indeed a cruel and ruthless person. No wonder Guanyin maid, who has such a good temper, will also quarrel with him. If this continues, he will sooner or later become a lonely man!"

"You can't say that. Your Majesty is very wise in other matters, but he is very confused about disciplined his children, especially since he has always loved Li Tai. He may have made such a decision without thinking deeply before. Now he is not willing to regret it because he is not good at face, which is what he is now!" Seeing his wife so angry, Li Xiu hurriedly advised, but he didn't even believe his words.

"Hmph, Chengqian and Lizhi are really a great misfortune in life with fathers like him!" Princess Pingyang was still angry at this time. After saying that, she stood up and walked, "No matter what his plans are, I'm too lazy to care. I'll go see Lizhi and let her sleep with me at night!"

Seeing Princess Pingyang leaving angrily, Li Xiu shook his head helplessly. He knew that as long as he talked to Princess Pingyang about Li Shimin, this would definitely be the result. It seems that she will never forgive Li Shimin, the younger brother.

The next morning, Li Xiu got up an hour earlier than usual, and then drove into the carriage to the palace because he wanted to arrive at the palace early to stop Wei Zheng. According to Wei Zheng's attitude yesterday, if Li Shimin did not take back Cheng Ming today, Wei Zheng really dared to hit him again. Today is the day when Li Shimin summoned some ministers to discuss matters, which is commonly known as the small court meeting. Li Xiu and Wei Zheng hit the pillar in front of everyone, which would be bad for everyone.
