Li Xiu strode to the front yard room where the bearded guest lived. When he entered the living room, he immediately saw the bearded guest sitting there drinking tea. This made him strode forward and ask, "Uncle, where have you been with the King of Qin today and what have you talked about?"

"Why, are you trying to monitor my actions in Chang'an?" The bearded guest asked calmly after tasting the tea.

"Uh? Of course not. My nephew is curious that you and the King of Qin are out for a day, and I don't know where to go?" Li Xiu realized that his words were inappropriate when he heard the bearded guest's question. At least he was rude, so he hurriedly changed his words with a smile.

"Haha, don't I know your thoughts yet? Are you just afraid that I will incite the King of Qin to rebel?" The bearded guest said to Li Xiu at this time. He was interrupted by Li Xiu twice today when he chatted with Li Shimin. At that time, he had guessed what Li Xiu was thinking.

Li Xiu no longer concealed his thoughts by the bearded guest. He smiled and said, "Since the uncle knows it, the little nephew said it straight. You won't really persuade the King of Qin to rebel, right?"

"You're really guessing it right. Today, the King of Qin and I went out for spring. I happened to hear that the scenery in Qujiangchi is good, so we went to a boat in Qujiangchi to drink and listen to music, and talked a lot. Among them, the King of Qin asked me for a solution to his current predicament. I told him that either he would give up all his power immediately and might be able to save his life, or he would take advantage of the fact that he still had considerable troops in his hands and directly launched a coup to seize the throne. Apart from these two options, there is no third way to go!"

"Uncle, you... you really dare to say that if the King of Qin rebelled, it might cause chaos in the world. Is the chaos in the world good for you?" Li Xiu said a little annoyed when he heard this. Although Li Shimin in history would still choose a coup, it was at least two years away. However, now that he was encouraged by the bearded guest, Li Shimin might really launch a coup in advance, and the result would be what it would be. I am afraid no one can guarantee it.

"Haha~, the chaos in the world is of course good for me!" What Li Xiu never expected was that the bearded guest laughed loudly at this time, "Didn't I say before that I want to establish a new China in the Americas, but it is too slow to rely solely on educating the Mayans. If the chaos in the Central Plains, then I can take the opportunity to recruit some vagrants to move to the Americas, and let them live with the Mayans. Under subtle influence, it is naturally much stronger than simple education, and it is also more conducive to my rule in the Americas!"

As soon as the words of the bearded guest made Li Xiu feel cold all over. He actually forgot that the bearded guest was a person who did anything to achieve his goal. It was indeed very consistent with his personality. But at this moment, the bearded guest smiled and continued, "In addition, if the King of Qin succeeds, he will ascend to the throne, and I can also use this matter to establish a good relationship with him. In this way, I can also openly ask him for some funding requirements, such as arranging some useful talents, etc."

Hearing this, Li Xiu couldn't help but collapse on the chair. Indeed, no matter from any aspect, it was beneficial for the Guest Guest to incite Li Shimin to launch a coup, so he had no reason not to do so. However, when he thought of the possible consequences of the Li Shimin's coup, Li Xiu couldn't help but want to hit the wall with a headache. If he had known this, he wouldn't have let Guest Guest meet Li Shimin no matter what.

"Hahahaha~" But at this moment, I suddenly heard the bearded guest laughing, which made Li Xiu feel a little puzzled. After a while, I saw the bearded guest stop laughing, covered his stomach and pointed at Li Xiu, "It's so funny. You really believe me and encourage the King of Qin to rebel, right?"

"What... what does it mean? Uncle, are you lying to me again just now?" Li Xiu finally realized that this situation seemed a bit familiar. Last time he was deceived by a bearded guest on board, the other party also said he was teasing him when he let him go, but Li Xiu was a little suspicious of this.

"Nonsense, although I moved overseas, I always thought I was a person from the Central Plains, and I didn't want the people of the Central Plains to be poisoned by the war again. Otherwise, I would not have given up fighting for the Central Plains. Now the Central Plains finally settled down. Do you think I will harm the people of the world for my own selfish interests?" The bearded guest glared at Li Xiu at this time and spoke with a serious face.

"This..." Li Xiu was a little confused when he heard this. The bearded guest was really fake and he was confused. Who knew if he was lying to himself again this time? Of course, these words could not be asked, so Li Xiu forced a smile and said, "Uncle is in the world, so he will naturally not do anything to ignore the people!"

"Although I was not sincere in saying this, I could only believe it!" The bearded guest obviously saw the forced smile on Li Xiu's face, and said with some dissatisfaction, but he didn't say anything after saying it.

In the next few days, Li Shimin did not come again. Li Xiu also had time to talk to Qiuyan in detail about America. If he had the chance, he would also talk to Qu Yi. After all, as a Mayan, she knew much more about the Mayan inside than Qiuyan. Qu Yi was adapted to the life of the Tang Dynasty, especially the Chinese language was getting better and better. Even Li Xiu couldn't help but praise her for being smart, but unfortunately it was ruined by the hands of Zhang Shiyi.

"Sir!" That morning Li Xiu was teaching Qi Niang and Xiao Ya in the garden. Suddenly, a familiar voice shouted. Then Li Chengdao walked into the garden quickly, which made him very surprised, "Chengdao, why are you here?"

In contrast, Qi Niang and Xiao Ya were even happier when they saw Li Chengdao. They cheered and threw away the practice writing in their hands and rushed up. Then they chattered around Li Chengdao and asked non-stop. Among the four students, Li Chengdao was the oldest and the most sensible, so he usually protected Qi Niang and the others like a big brother. He hadn't come during this period, so Qi Niang and Xiao Ya naturally missed them very much.

I saw Li Chengdao chatting with Qi Niang and Xiao Ya for a few words before coming to Li Xiu and bowing: "Greetings, sir, the situation in Chang'an has gradually stabilized during this period. I asked my father many times and went to ask the emperor and grandfather again. Only then did I get permission to come to you to continue studying!"

"It's good that you're here. You don't have the ability to take care of those things between adults yet. Trying to master enough knowledge and expand your horizons is the right way. You have put a lot of homework before. If you don't know anything, please ask me or Qi Niang and the others for advice!" Li Xiu also patted Li Chengdao's thin shoulder with emotion and said.

After not seeing each other for a few months, Li Chengdao has risen significantly. In addition, Li Jiancheng was placed under house arrest some time ago, so he must have been affected, and the reason for the matter must not be hidden from him. It is precisely because of these things that Li Chengdao looks much more mature now and is more calm than before, as if he has grown up overnight.

"Well, thank you for your reminder! I finally realized my aunt's current situation, and I have thought it through clearly that both sides are my closest relatives. I, as a junior, can't take care of my father and second uncle, and let them do whatever they want. But I believe that my brothers and I will never make such a fuss in the future!" When Li Chengdao said the last, a resolute expression also showed a small face. At a young age, he was already extremely tired of the struggles between his fathers, so he said the last words.

"It's best if you have this idea, but..." Li Xiu patted Li Chengdao's shoulder with emotion again when he heard this, but he couldn't continue to say this, because he thought that if Li Shimin launched a coup, it would be impossible for Li Chengdao and his brothers to have a future.

"Okay, let's not talk about this. Since you are here, let's go to class together. Have you learned all the previous homework by yourself?" Li Xiu suddenly took a long breath at this time, and then asked calmly. Although Li Chengdao did not come to class, he would send someone to take the notes that Qi Niang had taken for him every day and study at home by himself. As for Li Chengqian, he was too young and didn't have to work so hard.

"Well, I have learned the homework every day seriously, but I still can't figure out some questions. I asked the gentlemen in the palace, but not only could they not answer them, but they said that what I asked were all wrong ways." When Li Chengdao said the last, a helpless smile appeared on his little face. He knew better than anyone else. In fact, as he studied for more than half a year, he felt that he knew too little about the world.

When Li Xiu heard this, he just smiled and said nothing. The things he taught were indeed very different from Confucianism. It was normal for some orthodox Confucian scholars to disapprove of these knowledge. This is also one of the reasons why he dared not publicize these knowledge. Of course, the main reason is that he was too lazy to argue with others. If he had the skills, he might as well take a nap.

Li Chengdao was sitting down and Li Xiu was preparing to continue class, but at this moment, someone suddenly came into the garden. When Li Xiu saw the person coming, he was stunned because the person coming was Li Chengqian.

Compared to the sensible Li Chengdao, Li Chengqian is just a six-year-old child. After saluting Li Xiu, he glanced at Li Chengdao, then sat silently to the far right, and was separated from Li Chengdao by Qi Niang and Xiao Ya. It seemed that he was still influenced by his fathers and deliberately kept a distance from Li Chengdao's cousin.

When Li Xiu saw this, he shook his head helplessly. After asking Li Chengqian a few words, he started to give lectures. Because the four children are different at ages, their learning progress is also different. For example, Li Chengdao is older and Qi Niang is particularly smart, so the learning progress of the two of them is the same, while Li Chengqian and Xiaoya are the same. Li Xiu will teach separately according to their learning progress and their personality, which can be regarded as teaching according to their aptitude.

But today I don’t know if it’s the imperial calendar wrong. Li Xiu had just said a few words when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside, and it sounded like more than one person, which made him sigh: It seems that this lesson is not enough today! (To be continued.)
