Pei Ji felt a pity for Li Xiu because of something. Although he spoke in a low voice, Li Yuan still heard it. He saw that the other party thought about it and understood what Pei Ji was sorry for. At that moment, Li Yuan spoke with a confused expression: "Pei Jian, are you feeling a pity for the matter between Li Xiu and Pingyang?"

As Pei Ji's identity, he naturally knew about the matter between Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang. In fact, his feelings just now were actually for Li Yuan to hear, so he said calmly: "Your Majesty is right. Li Xiu is a talented person. Unfortunately, he is too passionate. He also falls in love with Princess Pingyang and wants to marry the princess. If he really insists on his own, he will only make his head beaten up and even his future may be ruined."

Pei Ji's words actually came to Li Yuan's heart. After he finally discovered Li Xiu's talent before, he secretly felt sorry for this young man. If it weren't for his and Pingyang's affairs, just based on his previous contributions, he might have been at a high position and become the youngest minister in the court.

Seeing Li Yuan silent, Pei Ji pondered for a moment and said again: "Your Majesty still remembered that Dong'an was punished by heaven some time ago?"

"Of course I remember, and I also know it is related to Li Xiu. I just don't know what method he used to make a huge ** turn into ruins in an instant?" Li Yuan nodded when he heard this. This incident also made Li Xiu's body more mysterious. Sometimes Li Yuan even wanted to tie him up and ask, to see how many secrets he has?

"Haha, Your Majesty may not know. When the ** was destroyed that day, I was actually on the spot. Not only did I witness the moment the ** was destroyed, but I also chatted with Li Xiu for a few words." Pei Ji suddenly smiled and said, "He also likes to bet. He often bets with Li Yuan, and occasionally goes to ** to play a few games. Li Yuan had known this for a long time, so there was no need to hide it.

"Oh? Then Pei Jian, what do you think of Li Xiu?" Li Yuan asked with interest when he heard this.

"It was a coincidence that day. I, Li Xiu and the others, actually had the same bet. And the cards played with him, Ma Sanbao and Chai Shao were circulated from him. He played very well. He won a lot of money at that time, and then he revealed his identity to Chai Shao, which scared Chai Shao, but what happened later became even more interesting..."

Pei Ji said that, and he told him what he saw and heard about that day. Finally, when the loud noise passed and the whole thing disappeared without a trace, he couldn't help but show a shocking expression on his face.

"In the end, when I woke up from the shock, I walked to Li Xiu and told him that if it were me, I would never drive everyone out and destroy them. In this way, the people inside were killed and injured. At that time, the court could not even cover them, and even His Majesty could not favor Chai Shao. Even if Chai Shao was not dead, there would be no possibility of turning over!" Pei Ji finally said with a smile again.

"Oh? Then how did Li Xiu answer?" Li Yuan said with interest when he heard this. Pei Ji was not talking and playing tricks. With Li Yuan's understanding of him, if he was really Li Xiu, he would definitely do what he said. As for human life, human life is nothing in his eyes, but Li Yuan did not blame Pei Ji for this, because he and Pei Ji are the same type of people. As long as he can achieve his goal, it is nothing to sacrifice other people's lives. He may even be more excessive than Pei Ji.

"Haha, Li Xiu said with a cold face at that time that I was cold-blooded, and he said that he would never ignore human life because of his own selfishness. Although I do not agree with his approach, I have to admire his character. If he becomes an official, with his talent, he can definitely benefit the people of the world!" Pei Ji finally praised him very much. He was not a good person, but it did not prevent him from admiring people like Li Xiu.

Li Yuan nodded with praise when he heard this, and he attached more importance to Li Xiu. With Li Xiu's talent and character, he can be said to be the best candidate for the minister. If it weren't for him and Pingyang, Li Yuan would have immediately issued an order to summon him to the palace to meet him, and he might even entrusted him with important tasks. Unfortunately, the relationship between him and Pingyang was like an unresolved butcher knife. God knows when it will fall, and it is likely that Li Xiu will be ruined by then.

Thinking of the above, Li Yuan couldn't help but shook his head helplessly and said, "Li Xiu is indeed a rare talent. He can turn Dong'an into ruins in an instant. I believe that like the cans I saw today, they all use knowledge that others cannot understand to achieve an incredible goal. Such a talent, I really hope that he has never met Pingyang before, so that I don't have to worry so much!"

When Pei Ji suddenly pondered for a moment when he heard that Li Yuan was also sorry for Li Xiu, he said again: "Your Majesty, it is normal for young people to be trapped by love, but there is no solution to the matter between Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang."

"Oh? What's the point of Pei Jian?" Li Yuan couldn't help but look at Pei Ji in surprise when he heard this, but Pei Ji leaned into Li Yuan's ear and whispered a few words. As a result, Li Yuan was surprised at first, and then smiled a little, which made him value Pei Ji even more. At the critical moment, he was still the old friend who was reliable!

The next morning court, Pei Ji suddenly wrote a letter to agree to the split of the Tiance Mansion. As Li Yuan trusted the most and the leader of all officials, Pei Ji's weight in the court is by no means comparable to other people. Therefore, his statement immediately attracted the neutral people to agree to the split of the Tiance Mansion, and some people who had originally opposed it turned against him on the spot. Now the people who supported Li Shimin could not stand it anymore, and the decision was made to split the Tiance Mansion.

Faced with this situation, Li Shimin was not willing to surrender. He immediately went to the palace alone to see Li Yuan again, but unfortunately he didn't even see Li Yuan this time, which made Li Shimin finally understand his father's thoughts. According to the people in the palace, Li Shimin left the palace in a daze that day, and it was not until the next morning that he returned to the palace with a haggard expression. Few people knew where Li Shimin went that night.

However, others don’t know where Li Shimin was that day, but Li Xiu knew that because Li Shimin ran to him again that day and said nothing, he just kept drinking. In desperation, Li Xiu had to take out the three remaining jars of distilled wine. As a result, Li Shimin picked up the jar and poured it straight into his mouth. In less than half an hour, he got drunk and started to drink crazy in the yard, holding a broken broom and saying it was a sword, and then he started playing sword like a madman.

Although Li Shimin said nothing, Li Xiu could guess that the split of Tiance Mansion was likely to have a result, and it was definitely not good news for Li Shimin, otherwise he would not be hit like this. In this regard, Li Xiu could only ask Yuechan and others not to enter the yard, so as not to be accidentally injured by Li Shimin.

Originally, Yuechan suggested that Li Xiu invite Princess Pingyang to come. After all, Li Shimin's appearance was really scary, but Li Xiu thought about it and refused this proposal, because if Princess Pingyang saw Li Shimin's appearance, she would not know what kind of heartache would be. Instead of letting her feel uncomfortable with her, it would be better to let Li Shimin go crazy alone. I guess he would be fine if he vented it. People who are as famous as Qin Emperor and Han Wu will definitely not be defeated so easily.

Facts proved that Li Xiu's inference was correct. After being drunk, Li Xiu lay down on the ground and fell asleep. There was still unmelted snow on the ground. If Li Xiu ignored him, he would probably be frozen to death in the middle of the night.

At this moment, Li Xiu asked someone to help Li Shimin to the guest room to rest again, and at the same time he felt a little helpless. Li Shimin seemed to have developed a habit. When something went wrong, he liked to come to him to drink. This habit was not very good. Just as Ma said, in the eyes of uninformed people, he might really become Li Shimin's person. Maybe even Li Jiancheng would think so. If he repeatedly attracted revenge from the other party, he would be too unfair.

Thinking of the above, Li Xiu even doubted whether Li Shimin did it on purpose. He often came to his place to eat and drink, making people mistakenly think that he was his person. If Li Jiancheng really became hostile to him, it would be like pushing him toward Li Shimin. At that time, he would have no choice but to make a choice.

"The more I think about it, the more likely it is. Otherwise, I would just throw Li Shimin into the snow outside and freeze to death, so as not to cause trouble for myself?" Li Xiu suddenly murmured to himself. I have to say that this idea is extremely tempting, but unfortunately he can only think about it. If Li Shimin really freezes Li Shimin to death, it would be unreasonable to say nothing else.

The next day, before the sun rose, Li Xiu was asleep calmly, and was gently woken up by Yue Chan, and then told him helplessly that Li Shimin had woken up and wanted to say goodbye to him. This made Li Xiu have to go to see Li Shimin sleepy and ask someone to prepare breakfast, which can be regarded as seeing him off.

"Brother Li, I was really a bit out of control yesterday. I hope Brother Li won't be disgusted!" As soon as Li Shimin saw Li Xiu, he immediately clasped his fists and said with apologies on his face, but his name to Li Xiu changed from Li Jijiu to a more intimate Brother Li, which is already a title among friends.

"Your Highness is in a bad mood, so I can understand it!" Although Li Xiu suspected that Li Shimin was plotting against him, he had no evidence, so he could not drive him away directly. However, after he finished speaking, he immediately asked someone to deliver breakfast, meaning that Li Shimin would finish eating as soon as possible and leave!

However, Li Shimin seemed to be in a hurry to leave. He was having breakfast while chatting with Li Xiu, and also told the court's decision to split the Tiance Mansion. However, compared to yesterday, he was very calm when talking about this matter. It seemed that he had recovered from yesterday's blow. However, when talking about Pei Ji, Li Shimin still showed a look of annoyance on his face, because it was Pei Ji's sudden statement that made him defeat this matter.

Speaking of Pei Ji, Li Shimin suddenly thought of something, and looked up at Li Xiu and asked, "By the way, Brother Li, do you know Pei Ji?" (To be continued.)
