Chapter 331 Exile in America

"Oh? What I want? Do you know what I want?" Li Shimin couldn't help but show a suspicious expression when he heard Li Xiu's words about making a deal with him, because sometimes he doesn't even know what he really wants?

"When I was at Xuanwu Gate that day, didn't Your Highness prove to the world what you want?" Li Xiu chuckled. Combining the history of his previous life and his contact and understanding of Li Shimin in this life, he had almost understood Li Shimin's thoughts.

"Is the throne? But I have already obtained it. You can't just want to exchange what I have already obtained, right?" Li Shimin was not angry when he heard Li Xiu mention the Xuanwu Sect, but asked again with interest.

"Of course it's not the throne, but I want to ask, what is the purpose of Your Highness to obtain the throne by any means? Is it just to rule the world and control the life and death of millions of people?" Li Xiu asked again with a calm expression.

When Li Xiu heard this question, Li Shimin was stunned at first, and then he couldn't help but show a meditative expression. He had never seriously considered this issue before, or he had no time to consider this issue at all, because in his opinion, the throne should belong to him, so at most he thought about how to regain the throne, rather than what to do after regaining the throne?

Li Shimin considered and thought for a long time, and finally raised his head and said slowly: "You are right. It is certainly exciting to rule the world, but as an emperor, what he wants to do most is to benefit the people internally, expand territory externally, be respected by all people during his lifetime, and leave a name in history after his death. Even if it is thousands of years later, when the descendants of later generations mention my name Li Shimin, they will immediately think of the achievements I have made!"

"Yes, Your Highness of Qin knows very well what he wants, and these are exactly what I want to exchange with you. As long as you let Chengdao and others go, I can guarantee that all the above you are saying can be realized!" Li Xiu smiled cunningly at this time.

"What are you guaranteeing, why should I believe you?" Li Shimin stared at Li Xiu in doubt when he heard this. He didn't even have the confidence to do what he said just now.

"It's very simple. I'll help you, and I can guarantee you that after you ascend to the throne, I will do my best to help you complete what you said above. When you get old, if you find that I can't help you complete what you said above, then I will do it at your disposal!" Li Xiu said with a cunning smile again.

He was simply using Li Shimin's future achievements to deal with Li Shimin now. Even without his help, Li Shimin could achieve what he said above. With his help, Li Xiu believed that it would only be better and not worse.

"Li Xiu, although I appreciate your ability very much, I don't believe that you can achieve my wish with the help of you alone, let alone it take too long. Compared to the price of letting go of the fourth brother and others, your guarantee is not worth my exchange!" Li Shimin thought for a moment and finally spoke.

"Don't rush to refuse, I have two other conditions left!" Li Xiu suddenly spoke again, "I know that the reason why you can't tolerate them is mainly because you are worried that the prince and his group of people will make trouble with this, so you want to kill them and get rid of the roots. But there is another way, that is, exile them!"

"Exile?" Li Shimin looked at Li Xiu with some amusement when he heard this. He even wondered if there was something wrong with Li Xiu's mind? But in the end he spoke, "Is there a king's land in the world? No matter how far I exiled them, in the end, it was still in my Tang Dynasty. Some people with bad intentions always have a way to find them, which will still cause me a lot of trouble."

"I didn't say that they were exiled to the Tang Dynasty. This world is much bigger than we imagined. For example, the corn grown in these greenhouses comes from the extremely distant American continent. If Chengdao and others were exiled there, they would probably never come back!" When Li Xiu said this, he pointed to the greenhouse next to him, and finally said his first condition.

"America?" Li Shimin was stunned when he heard Li Xiu's words, and then looked at him in shock. He did not expect that Li Xiu would make such a suggestion. He had had a long talk with the bearded guest before, so he naturally knew where America was. He also knew that it would take one or two months to go there. And it would be a smooth situation. If it didn't go well, the boat would be destroyed and the people would be killed halfway through. If Li Chengdao and others were really allowed to go to America, they would probably never come back in their lifetime.

"Yes, I have already told Chengdao about this. He is willing to convince King Qi to take his younger brothers to leave the Tang Dynasty and go to America, and he will never come back!" Li Xiu said again. He had chatted with Li Chengdao alone before, but this was actually what he said. But if Princess Pingyang knew that Li Chengdao and the others were going to leave the Tang Dynasty and risked her life to go to America, she would probably not agree at all.

When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression, as if he was unable to make up his mind for a moment. At this time, Li Xiu decided to work harder again, so he continued: "In addition, I just said that I would help Your Highness, it is definitely not just empty talk. Although King Qin, you have controlled Chang'an now, the situation in the Tang Dynasty will definitely not be very stable. I bet that after the Turks learned the news, they will definitely raise troops to go south. How should you resist the King of Qin?"

"Do you also know that the Turks are going south?" Li Shimin suddenly looked up and stared at Li Xiudao when he heard this. In fact, the reason why he left the military camp a few days ago was because he received news that the Turks seemed to have some abnormal movements. It seemed that someone in the Tang Dynasty revealed the people who killed Li Jiancheng to the Turks, which led to the Turks who seemed to take the opportunity to go south.

"I don't know that the Turks were going south, but looking at His Highness's appearance, it seems that I've guessed it right. The Turks have always coveted the wealth of our Tang Dynasty, and the heavy snow disaster last year must have caused heavy losses to the Turks. I'm afraid the grassland is full of hungry herders, which makes it easier for the Turks to recruit enough soldiers. If they go south, what will the King of Qin use to resist them?" Li Xiu took the opportunity to question again. He did not expect the Turks to move so quickly, but this gave him greater confidence to convince Li Shimin.

"Hmph, it's not the first time that the Turks went south. I could have beaten them back in the past, and this time is no exception!" Li Shimin still said stubbornly at this time. He didn't like the feeling of being taken advantage of by Li Xiu everywhere.

"Haha, if it were in the past, Your Highness could indeed mobilize a large army to fight against the Turks, but the situation in the Tang Dynasty is now unstable. The King of Qin may only be able to use the troops stationed in various places to stabilize the situation. If you transfer these troops away, you may be in chaos when you fight against the Turks. At that time, under the attacks inside and outside, it may be a danger of destroying the country!" Li Xiu told the truth without mercy.

"You..." Li Shimin was also furious by Li Xiu's words, but he had no words to refute. In the end, he could only say angrily, "The Turks went south just for food and property. At worst, I learned from Han Xin and temporarily endured the humiliation under my crotch and took the initiative to send money and food. As long as I deal with this crisis, I would have the opportunity to deal with them in the future!"

"The King of Qin is indeed a real man, but the humiliation under his crotch is not something that anyone can tolerate. Now, in order to express my previous promise, your highness can not endure such humiliation, and even defeat the Turkic army!" Li Xiu said confidently.

Knowledge is power. From this perspective, he is indeed the most powerful person of this era. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as he can exert his own strength, he can definitely stand up to a million troops!

"You?" Li Shimin looked at Li Xiu with some suspicion when he heard this, and finally asked again, "If you have such ability, why don't you help my third sister's army defeat me? Wouldn't this be more in line with your current position?"

Li Xiu rolled his eyes when he heard Li Shimin's questioning. It was not that he had thought about this possibility. Unfortunately, the knowledge in his mind could not be achieved overnight if he wanted to become a force that influenced the world. Not to mention anything else, even if he created gunpowder now, he could not change the current situation. At most, it would cause some trouble to Li Shimin. Of course, if he wanted to create gunpowder now, he could not find enough raw materials.

Of course, Li Xiu could not express the above words clearly, so he finally made a compassionate expression and said: "King Qin, whether you believe it or not, I do have a way to greatly enhance the combat power of the Detachment of Women. Not to mention anything else, it is still easy to break out. However, the Turks are about to go south. If we continue to fight within the Tang Dynasty, it will only allow the Turks to take advantage of the situation. The country of our Tang Dynasty may be destroyed. At that time, ordinary people will suffer. I will not be able to do such a thing!"

"I don't believe you have such ability!" Li Shimin said suspiciously again. As a general, no one knows better the strength comparison between the two sides than him, so he had already killed the Detachment of Women.

"Your Highness may not believe it, but you should not forget, how did the Dong'an Casino disappear?" Li Xiu said confidently on the surface, but when he said this, he sighed in his heart. The gunpowder was finally handed over, but in order to exchange their lives, it was worth it.
