The north wind blew, and the snow balls as big as rice grains were wrapped and blown into the window. Li Xiu and Changsun Wuji also wore furs at this time. Although the mutton on the table was delicious, they were old and had no appetite. So after eating a few bites, they stopped and quietly admired the snow scene outside the window.

"From the weather, I'm afraid the snow is not small today. It just so lacks water this year, which can alleviate the drought today!" After a while, Changsun Wuji suddenly spoke.

"Brother Changsun, you are really devoted to government affairs. You can't even forget these things at this time." Li Xiu showed a helpless expression when he heard Changsun Wuji's words. He could think of farming even if he could appreciate snow. This kind of professional spirit is incomparable to Li Xiu.

"In his position, we naturally have to plan our politics. Although our Tang Dynasty is not short of food now, if we encounter famine, it will still make the people's hearts fluctuate, so we have to be careful!" Changsun Wuji sighed at this time. Even though the Tang Dynasty is unprecedentedly powerful now, as an important official in the court, he still dared not relax for a moment.

"Brother Changsun, you and I are not young anymore, and there are even a lot of grandchildren. It is better to leave those troubles to my children and grandchildren to deal with. Why do you have to work as hard as before?" Li Xiu changed his mind at this time and finally got to the point of today.

"Haha, I knew that Brother Li, your meal has a different meaning. It seems that you are a lobbyist for Your Majesty." Changsun Wuji smiled without surprise when he heard Li Xiu's words. He had long guessed that Li Xiu's purpose of treating him to dinner was not simply, but he didn't expect that Li Xiu would directly persuade him to withdraw from the court.

"Brother Changsun, you guessed wrong. I am not a lobbyist for Your Majesty, but a suggestion for you out of the identity of a friend. After all, we have known each other for many years, and I really can't bear to see you fall into the quagmire step by step!" Li Xiu sat upright and said with a serious expression.

"Misty Pond? Why did Brother Li say that?" Changsun Wuji also looked at Li Xiu and asked.

"Once the emperor is the minister, don't you understand such a simple truth? Even if there is the instructions from the previous emperor, we should pay attention to our qualities, especially since Your Majesty is already an adult and is no longer the child!" Li Xiu also said it out loud at this time. After all, with his friendship with Changsun Wuji, there is no need to go around again.

Hearing Li Xiu's words, Changsun Wuji was stunned, and then he showed a tangled expression on his face. After a while, he said, "Brother Li, I am different from you. You can quit your official position and go home to cultivate yourself, but I have to stay in the court to feel some fun. Moreover, I have been in the court for many years and finally got the status today. If I let me let go now, I would be really unwilling to accept it!"

Going from generals and becoming prime ministers is the highest ideal of all scholars, and very few can do it, but Changsun Wuji is one of the people who can do it, and power is one of the most fascinating things in the world. Changsun Wuji is now under one person and above ten thousand people, so he is naturally unwilling to give up his current status and power.

"Brother Changsun, it's no longer a question of whether you want it or not. It's whether you want your own power or the life of the Changsun clan?" Li Xiu asked again with a serious expression on his face.

"What does it mean? Is Your Majesty really going to attack me, my uncle?" Although Changsun Wuji was blinded by power, his mind was not confused. He immediately reacted when he heard Li Xiu's words.

"No, although Your Majesty is a little dissatisfied with you now, he is not interested in killing. A few days ago, someone slandered Your Majesty and falsely accused you of treason. As a result, he was directly ordered to be executed by Your Majesty and the memorial was burned. This is enough to show His Majesty's trust in you." Li Xiu sighed at this time.

"Hmph, I am in a high position, so I have naturally offended many people. These people are not afraid to attack me, and can only use this kind of despicable means in secret!" Changsun Wuji learned that someone had falsely accused him of treason, and he snorted coldly. Although he was domineering in some matters, he absolutely had no intention of treason.

"This method is indeed despicable, and Your Majesty will not believe it now. But have you ever thought about it? This method is useless once, twice, but there are too many times. As long as it is useful once, your Changsun family will be in trouble. Especially now, Brother Changsun, you have monopolize power and no one in the court can restrain you. This is a taboo for the emperor. Even if Your Majesty is your nephew, he will probably not always tolerate someone posing a threat to his imperial power!" Li Xiu said calmly again at this time. If he didn't explain these words clearly, it would be difficult to persuade Changsun Wuji.

"I... why do I take over the power? Although I am involved in the military and political affairs in the court, it depends on your majesty's intention in the end!" Changsun Wuji blushed at this time and argued for himself.

"Brother Changsun, why do you have to say these scenes in front of me?" Li Xiu smiled again at this time, "When the old emperor was alive, he once said that he would learn from the world. Don't you see what the autocracy of the relatives in the late Han Dynasty would end? Do you really want to follow Yihuo?"

Li Xiu also completely let go at this time, and his words were almost heartbroken.

"Brother Li, what do you mean? Don't you know my character?" Changsun Wuji heard Li Xiu's words a little unpleasant, and his face darkened.

"Brother Changsun, why should I pretend to be confused? Is this related to your personality? If I really leave that, I am afraid that even if I want to help you, I will not be able to help you. And the reason why I invited you to Gong Pei today is that I would understand that after the First Emperor ascended the throne, Gong Pei resigned and retired, and I would not hide it from you. In fact, I was persuaded by Gong Pei to resign from his post from behind. Now your situation is similar to Gong Pei, but you do not have the courage of Gong Pei!" Li Xiu said seriously again at this time.

"I..." Changsun Wuji heard Li Xiu say that he was not as good as Pei Ji, and his face suddenly became dark and wanted to defend himself, but he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say?

"Brother Changsun, you can hold it and put it down as a real man. Your current position is already very dangerous. When the late emperor passed away, you and I had an agreement, but if you continue like this, I am afraid that your agreement will not be completed!" Li Xiu sighed again at this time.

At that time, Li Xiu and Changsun Wuji had agreed that if Changsun Wuji died in front of him, he would tell him his secret as he did to Li Shimin. However, if Changsun Wuji refused to give up his power, he would definitely die under the knife in the end, and this agreement would naturally not be completed.
