The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 661
"Ah!"

Li Xiushu smiled coldly, "There should not be many people left in our Western Xia royal family in the old land, and they are not of the royal blood. Although my palace has been deeply in the Yuan Palace these years, I have heard that these guys are in the old land. How can you flatter and flatter those courtiers of the Yuan Dynasty, who are more honest and honest than the dogs at home? I am afraid that Kublai Khan will take them all captive to the palace, and even willingly change their names and surnames to make our Western Xia royal family lose face. These people, Zhong Sun Taifu also intends to support them?"

Zhongsun Qifu remained silent.

Li Xiushu sat back on the bed, "According to my opinion, if these people are really worthy of great use, and if they come into your eyes, Tai Tuo, you wouldn't have been unremarkable for so many years, and would rather work hard to hide your talents , and will not declare restoration. If these people are allowed to be emperors, Xixia will not be able to prosper. When Taifu Zhongsun dies, you will become the puppet of those big families without accident. This Xixia, even if it is not dead, will no longer be named Lee."

"But……"

Zhongsun Qifu sighed: "Someone has to climb the Great Treasure, otherwise, Xixia will be in chaos."

The light in the room shone on Li Wangyuan's face, which was still dim.

Li Xiushu narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Zhongsun Qifu, "Master Taifu really wants me to speak clearly?"

Zhongsun Qifu raised his head.

There is no trace of weakness in Li Xiushu's eyes, only nobleness, domineering, and coldness, "This Western Xia, only this palace is the emperor, and it can continue to last!"

Zhongsun Qifu was not surprised.

Of course he was pretending to be stupid just now. Before that, many of Li Xiushu's words had faintly revealed the meaning of fighting for power.He could hear it all.

And he still didn't accept the offer, so he naturally had doubts in his heart.

Now that Li Xiushu made his words clear, he no longer concealed his thoughts, and said softly: "Your Highness, the princess, can far surpass those who can't afford it in the country, and can also surpass the emperor, but... you are a princess after all. , in the form of a daughter."

Li Xiushu didn't show any surprise, but just sneered, "Is the ancient law more important? Or our Qianqiu community in Xixia is more important?"

"This……"

Zhongsun Qifu was slightly stunned, with hesitation in his eyes.

According to the ancient law, the princess naturally cannot be called the emperor.Looking at the current situation, there is really no member of the royal family who can support Xixia.

Over the years, while Zhongsun Qifu longed for Li Wangyuan to return to China, he also cared less about those people.

What Li Xiushu said was right, those guys with royal blood were weak and incompetent.Supporting them, Xixia will definitely not last long.

If Li Xiushu was a man, at this moment, Zhongsun Qifu felt that he must have knelt on the ground to pledge his allegiance without hesitation.

Li Xiushu looked directly at Zhongsun Qifu with her eyes, and said meaningfully: "Since ancient times, women cannot be called emperors, but Taifu Zhongsun thought that what about Wu Zhao, who inherited the rule of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty and started the prosperity of Kaiyuan?"

Wu Zhao is Tang Dynasty Wu Meiniang.

Zhongsun Qifu hesitated for a long time, but finally told the truth, "The legendary emperor surpasses countless men in the world."

Li Xiushu asked: "So what does Mrs. Zhongsun think of me, Li Xiushu?"

Zhongsun Qifu looked directly at Li Xiushu for a few seconds, and replied, "There are countless royal men in Sheng."

"in this way……"

Li Xiushu's eyes flashed brightly, "Master Zhongsun, would you like to help me ascend the throne and proclaim myself emperor?"

With a face full of sincerity, she suddenly fell to her knees, "I don't do it for my own selfish desires, but for the thousands of Xixia subjects and to avenge my brother. I beg Grand Tutor Zhongsun to give me this opportunity! If I can't lead Xixia to Brilliant, you can't hold down the officials in the country, and you are willing to surrender to Grand Tutor Zhongsun, so that your Zhongsun family can become the royal family of Xixia!"

The last sentence was like a blow to the head, but it hit Zhongsun Qifu directly in the heart.

He knew that Li Xiushu was just expressing his determination.

If Zhongsun Qifu intends to become emperor, with his current prestige in Xixia, although there will be some troubles, why is it impossible?
It's just that he never dared to have such thoughts in his heart.

Zhongsun's family owed a great favor to Xixia's former emperor, Zhongsun Qifu, in this life, he should devote himself to Xixia.

This Master Li Wangyuan, the Grand Tutor of the Western Xia Dynasty finally knelt down on the ground, "The old minister is willing to help the princess to ascend the throne as a great treasure."

It is true that Li Xiushu is a woman, but this city, this strategy, and this sincerity are enough to impress him.

Maybe, after Her Royal Highness becomes emperor, she can really make Xixia flourish like Wu Zhao did in Tang Dynasty.

Li Xiushu added Zhongsun Qifu again, and at this moment, tears flowed from her eyes, "I would like to thank Mrs. Zhongsun on behalf of the people of the world."

"The old minister dare not."

A slight look of humility appeared on Zhongsun Qifu's face, "With the talent of a princess, it is a blessing in the world to be enthroned and proclaim the emperor. It's just... those prominent families in China..."

It is true that he has a high position and authority, but Xixia, after all, is not what he says.

Li Xiushu looked indifferent, "As long as Taifu Zhongsun can persuade the rest of the veterans to help me ascend the throne, those people will not be a problem."

Zhongsun Qifu was slightly surprised, but at this moment, he felt that Li Xiushu was extraordinary.

In this case, even he dare not say it, because he is not fully sure.

After a few seconds of silence, Zhongsun Qifu said: "Then the old minister will go back and talk to his colleagues."

"Ah."

Li Xiushu nodded lightly, "It's not too late, I hope that before the news of my brother's death, I can get the loyalty of all the veterans."

"Yes……"

Zhongsun Qifu agreed softly, and retreated outside the house.

The pace is a bit easier than before.

He really saw hope from Li Xiushu. Even Li Wangyuan, who had a strong root before, never gave him such hope.

The emperor's palace, scheming, and decisiveness are far from those of the princess.

The door was slowly closed again.

Only Li Xiushu was left in the house.

She sat back on the bed again, stopped her tears as soon as she said she would, and stopped touching Li Wangyuan's cheek, and whispered softly: "Brother, you really let me down..."

There was pain on her face, but there was also a kind of hatred vaguely.

After Zhao Dongting heard about the assassination of Zhao Bing by a master of Western Xia, Zhao Dongting immediately went to see Li Xiushu.

When we first met, Zhao Dongting said, "Your brother sent someone to kidnap my younger brother. I'm afraid he doesn't want to use Kuizhou Road to exchange you back."

At that time, Li Xiushu, who originally had high hopes for this, felt that the whole sky had collapsed.

"Failed?" she asked.

Zhao Dongting said: "Of course it failed. But your brother is not bad, at least he wants to use this method to exchange you back, and he didn't really ignore you."

Li Xiushu bowed her head and remained silent.

Both exchanged her back, but the difference between exchanging Kuizhou and kidnapping Guangwang Zhao Bing is worth thinking about.

It turned out that in my brother's heart, she was not as good as that mere Kuizhou Road.

And since the hijacking failed, my brother probably won't think about changing himself back, right?
Is this considered to be benevolent?
At that time, Li Xiushu really couldn't believe that her brother who was close to her and depended on each other would treat her like this.

It was also at this moment that she finally understood that everything depends on herself.

From then on, Li Xiushu's face was no longer weak, only cold.Even if there are moments of weakness, it is also pretending.

……

"If you lose Kuizhou, you can gain it again. But if you lose me, you really lose me..."

Li Xiushu kept muttering to herself, "At that time, I wanted to die, and I wanted you to suffer and regret, but then I thought, since you are reluctant to exchange Kuizhou for me, then I am really dead. Perhaps it may not be able to make you feel heartbroken, so I decided to live. I thought in my heart, if I have a chance to return to you, I will beat you, the new emperor of Xixia, first, and then die."

"Oh, now that I'm back, it's earlier than I thought. But you died earlier than I thought."

"Brother, is imperial power really that attractive? Can the world really make you abandon me like a shoestring?"

"It's just that you changed your mind later? Or exchanged Kuizhou for me? Did your conscience find out?"

"You used to take care of me in the palace. My sister didn't bother with you about the matter before. If you change me back, I have to do something for you. If you want the imperial power, I will become a great treasure for you. If you want In this world, I will win the world for you. I have to fulfill all your unfulfilled wishes for you. Whoever harmed you, I will definitely pay back thousands of times!"

That night, Emperor Shi Zhongsun Qifu called many old officials into the room and discussed until late at night.

Then, a group of veterans went to Li Wangyuan's bedroom at night, knelt in front of Li Xiushu, and swore allegiance.
