Chapter 570 Nine

Li Huining's words pierced into Li Shimin's heart like a knife. He was angry, on the verge of erupting, but he still didn't erupt in the end.Not a single word of Li Huining's words made him feel comfortable listening to him, but there was no doubt that there was not a single word that was just a slap in the face.Only then did Li Shimin realize that he had unknowingly changed from the position of mastering the initiative to the most passive one.

His change was not just because he killed his grandson Shunde, but because he suddenly discovered that besides his military achievements, he had been relying on his father Li Yuan's connivance.Compared to His Majesty the Tang Emperor, those military achievements are really not worth mentioning.If the emperor is willing, he can erase all the credit with just one sentence, and even declaring him a sinner is not a matter of harming the state for Datang!

Some people may be sorry, but naturally some people will be happy.

Because Li Yuan is the emperor and the one who makes the rules.And Li Shimin found that he still has no ability to break free from the shackles of the rules, unless... this unless he doesn't want to think about it, so he can only bear it.

After Li Huining walked out of his military tent, Li Jing walked in. Looking at Li Shimin's uncertain face, Li Jing didn't say anything, but stood silently beside Li Shimin. It is fundamentally a private matter of the Li family. Since it is a private matter, Li Jing knew that if Li Shimin did not take the initiative to mention it, he would never take the initiative to say anything.Royal family affairs are the most depressing and distressing.People who participate for no reason are extremely stupid.

He didn't know how long he sat like this, Li Shimin let out a long sigh of relief, turned his head to look at Li Jing and asked, "What should I do if the day comes when I have to? If not, what are the chances of winning?"

"Not at all."

Li Jing answered with bowed head.

Although Li Shimin didn't say what it was, Li Jing knew exactly what Li Shimin was asking.Because of this question, Li Jing's expression changed involuntarily, and he finally understood how entangled and desolate His Highness King Qin was.In fact, speaking of it, everyone would be angry if it happened to anyone, no matter how high he was praised, it was just a foil for the prince.It only takes one word from the emperor to give him a high enough status to even threaten that chair.But the same emperor can easily take everything from him with just one sentence, turning him into a complete joke.

"Is there nothing in it?"

Li Shimin smiled wryly, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.The tea is already cool, and it looks even colder when you drink it in your mouth in this cold season.But drinking it into the mouth not only made the teeth hurt, but also let the anger in the heart dissipate a little.Li Shimin felt a little better, rubbed his frown and said in a low voice: "At first, I thought that as long as I did well enough, I could get everything I won. Now it seems that those who fight are far worse than those who don't fight." , because that thing belongs to him in the first place, as long as he doesn’t make mistakes, he can do it, and Gu... needs to be good enough to make it.”

"But even so, it can't impress the person who set the rules. The rules are so unreasonable, and that person's chair is even more unreasonable."

Li Jing was silent for a while and said: "Because we have to fight... you can't reason."

Li Shimin's expression changed, he raised his head abruptly and asked, "Didn't you say that there is no [-]% chance of winning?"

Li Jing said in a flat tone: "No matter how you look at it, Your Highness really doesn't even have a [-]% chance of winning. But Your Highness's advantage lies in, who would dare, who would have thought, Your Highness, you would have such an idea?"

Li Shimin understood the meaning of Li Jing's words, so his face became a little excited.

"You mean, just because no one would think of it, Gu still has a chance, because everyone thinks that Gu would never dare to do that?"

"actually"

Li Jing said word by word: "If His Royal Highness has a chance, he will never hesitate. But he doesn't need to create opportunities by himself, he just needs to wait for the opportunity. Because His Royal Highness knows that he will inherit the world sooner or later." Who dares to stop him no matter what he does? He doesn’t even need any excuses or reasons, he can do it with just one word.”

"But your Highness is different. I'm sorry to say something offensive. Your Highness, you are not qualified to wait for an opportunity, so you can only find an opportunity yourself. If you can't find it, then create one yourself."

"Princess Pingyang has long regarded herself as an outsider. Although she has great prestige in the army, she will never interfere in the matter of who will inherit the throne, because they are all from the Li family and she does not need to get involved. But Your Highness You really lost your composure today, to the point that even Princess Pingyang became wary."

"His Royal Highness King Qi has always stood by the Prince's side, whether it was before or after you returned to Taiyuan, it has never changed. It is said that King Qi is frivolous and stupid, but in my opinion, King Qi is a person with great wisdom. He doesn't fight because he knows he can't fight. He stands on the prince's side because he knows that the prince doesn't need to fight at all, and as long as the prince ascends the throne, he will have a great contribution. At least the seat of King Qi is firm. It's like the city wall of the Eastern Capital."

"As for Yan Wang Li Xian... This person is a variable. Your Highness, you have been doing very well before, trying to draw this person over to help you. And you did nothing wrong, but Li Xian seems to be not at all. Willing to stand up. If he didn't want to fight, then he saw that the prince's side is easy to gain a foothold. So, after all, it seems that you really have no chance of winning."

"They all think so, that's why they are so confident."

After listening to Li Jing's analysis, Li Shimin sighed and said, "Lonely lost in those ten years in the old house in Longxi! It's not that I'm inferior to others!"

"Your Highness loses at the beginning, so it will be too late to fight for anything at the end, because no matter how hard you chase, you are not as fast as others. So if you want to win, you can only win halfway."

"Win halfway"

Li Shimin repeated in a murmur, thoughtfully.

……

……

"You seem to be warmer here than over there."

Li Huining sat down on the chair, rubbed his hands and looked at Li Xian who was fiddling with the brazier and said softly.

"Oh?"

Li Xian raised his head and glanced at Li Huining, smiled and said, "It's only thirty or twenty miles away, God will never favor one another. If you really feel that my place is warmer, maybe it's because I am a person I feel comfortable watching it? But speaking of it, even I feel comfortable looking at myself.”

"You're still like this..."

Li Huining paused for a moment, unable to find the right words to describe it.Maybe I found it, but I'm too embarrassed to say it directly.

Li Xian sat down on the chair with a smile, looked at Li Huining and said, "Don't feel warm so early, I just poured you a cup of tea and put some charcoal in the brazier. Don't you feel warm in your heart?"

"Then you can try."

Li Huining said.

"Just try it, I'm afraid of you?"

Li Xian curled his lips, and at this moment the big tent was lifted, and a few soldiers came in with a plate of dressed mutton. What is rare is that there are still fresh fish in this cold winter, and how many other dishes? Steaming exquisite stir-fry, and a large pot of old wine that is boiling.After setting things up on the table, Li Xian rolled up his sleeves and washed his hands, then sat down by the brazier and set up the wire mesh.

"I said it smells a little different, did you add fruit charcoal just now?"

Li Huining asked with a smile.

Seeing Li Xian nodded, she said with some emotion: "What I'm thinking now is, how much delicious food does a person have to carry with him when he goes out to conquer the army, just to comfort his mouth with barbecue in his spare time?" ?”

"Delicious and nothing..."

Li Xian brushed the oil on the iron net, put the meat skewers away and said, "It's delicious but not lazy, what an admirable virtue."

He put a layer of meat skewers on the iron net, and then looked at the meat that gradually changed color with a focused expression, and brushed the seasoning that he had prepared himself from the small basin. His movements were gentle and soothing, and he did not look like It's not roasting meat, but swaying mountains and rivers on paper with a wonderful pen.Li Huining looked at the barbecue he was so focused on, and suddenly realized that this scene had always been in his memory, starting from Poyang Lake.That day, a fish and half a jug of wine made her remember this clean and handsome face, and the boy who specialized in barbecue.

"This time I..."

Before she finished speaking, Li Xian interrupted her with a wave of his hand: "What are you doing this time, can we talk about it later? Don't you want to have a solid meal? What you want to say is not a witty phrase to go with wine , if you say it at this time, the meat will not even smell good."

"it is good"

Li Huining nodded and said, "Let's talk after eating!"

He bakes, she eats.

A pot of old wine was finished, the exquisite stir-fry was also seen on the bottom of the plate, and there was no piece of roasted meat left that was eaten by two people. Li Huining patted her slightly bulging stomach and sighed comfortably, and then suddenly Thinking of something, he glared at Li Xian with some annoyance and complained, "Why don't you make it so delicious?"

Li Xian immediately understood what she meant, and said in his heart that love of beauty and being uncontrollable seem to be by no means the unique qualities of modern women.

"You will have the strength to speak when you eat enough, unless you think you can convince me with a few words today. Sometimes speaking is also very exhausting, such as today."

Li Xian said seriously.

Li Huining was startled, then nodded and said: "Since you guessed what I was talking about, why do you have to use barbecue to gag me?"

"I said it's not a gag, but to replenish your strength."

Li Huining looked at Li Xian's innocent
