Chapter 2261: Li Siyang’s conspiracy, moral kidnapping
For Li Shimin, taking down Li Xiuning is a big problem. How to deal with her?
Killed?
impossible.
Li Xiuning is Li Shimin's most beloved sister, and she has helped him so much along the way. It can be said that without this sister, Li Shimin would not be where he is today.
For Li Shimin, his sister Li Xiuning is one of the few soft spots in his heart. No matter how ruthless he is, he can't do anything to Li Xiuning.
Even though Li Shimin seemed extremely cold just now, it was also a sign of deep love and deep responsibility.
Li Shimin knew that his sister had always liked Ying Hao, and he also knew what had happened between the two, but he could tolerate these, but giving birth to a child exceeded his bottom line.
The Ying and Li families had an irresolvable blood feud, and Li Yuan died in the battle between the two countries.
The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable.
Therefore, after learning all this, Li Shimin's reaction was so extreme.
What he couldn't accept was not the fact that his sister gave birth to Ying Hao's child, but the fact that his sister knew that she was pregnant with Ying Hao's flesh and blood, but she still resolutely gave birth to the child of her father's enemy.
Xiuning, you are confused. Li Shimin sighed secretly.
However, Li Shimin just couldn't accept that this matter had already happened, the two children were already four years old, and in the final analysis, he himself was to blame for this matter.
Dong Zhuo was assassinated by Yang Jian, and Li Shimin was captured due to defeat. Yang Jian took the opportunity to seize the fruits of victory. In order to prevent the entire Kansai from falling into Yang Jian's hands, Li Xiuning went to Luoyang alone to try to rescue his brother.
In other words, if it weren't for his incompetence, my sister would not have entered Luoyang to negotiate with Ying Hao, and if she had not entered Luoyang, she would not have become pregnant.
Therefore, if Li Xiuning gave birth to Ying Hao's child, Li Shimin would have to bear at least half of the responsibility.
Li Shimin, who understood this, felt even more guilty towards Li Xiuning, but he would not show this and would only hide it silently in his heart.
It was naturally impossible to kill Li Xiuning. Li Shimin was not so heartbroken and crazy.
Let her shoulder the safety of a country and go to marry Qin as the mother of the prince of Qin?
Li Shimin was unwilling to do this from the bottom of his heart. After all, his sister had made enough sacrifices for the Tang Dynasty, and he did not want or want his sister to continue to sacrifice.
But if we don't make peace, how can we negotiate peace with the Qin army? Naturally, Qin Hao's two sons were used as hostages.
After hearing what Li Shimin said, Li Si, Li Kui and others suddenly changed their expressions and objected in unison: "Absolutely not."
Li Shimin was stunned and asked in confusion: "Why not?"
He did not let the Qin army withdraw from Guanzhong directly, but on the premise of giving up the throne and becoming a minister, he added Ying Hao's two children in exchange for the two countries shaking hands and making peace.
Li Shimin was not stupid, so he naturally knew that it was impossible for Ying Hao to stop his army based on two illegitimate sons.
Therefore, Li Shimin was very measured and never had any ill intentions. He just wanted to use his children to gain some breathing space.
Li Si stood up and said thoughtfully: "My lord, you should understand Ying Hao. This person is extremely domineering and strong, and he can't bear to be tough.
If children are used as a condition for negotiation, no matter whether the condition is excessive or not, it will only make him feel that it is threatening him.
If this angers Ying Hao and he denies these two children, we won't be able to produce evidence, which will be self-defeating. "
Li Shimin was furious when he heard this: "What? Ying Hao dares to deny it? Does Xiuning have a second man besides him? If Ying Hao is still a man, he has to deny these two children."
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Shimin was stunned, obviously realizing how innocent what she just said was.
"Then what should we do?" Li Shimin said helplessly.
"Lord, when negotiating, you must not use children as a condition, or even mention these two children." Li Si said seriously.
Li Shimin frowned slightly: "Li Si, what do you want to do?"
Li Si handed over a tip: "Lord, this is what I am planning. If nothing unexpected happens, I am 90% sure that I can force Ying Hao to retreat."
Li Shimin took it and read it at a glance. After reading it, a strange look appeared on his face.
what is this?
Moral kidnapping?
But this can be regarded as giving both parties a step up.
"That's all, let's try it first whether it works or not. If it doesn't work, we'll have to think of another way." Li Shimin said thoughtfully.
Seeing that Li Shimin agreed, Li suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
The biggest obstacle to his plan was not Ying Hao, but Li Shimin. Fortunately, Li Shimin did not object. This was a great thing for him and Li Xiuning's mother and son.
"My lord, the queen and the two empresses would like to see you."
"Let them come in." Li Shimin said.
The three women obviously came to plead for Li Xiuning, and they started to quarrel with Li Shimin not long after they came in.
Li Si and Li Kui, who were present, were on pins and needles. They knew they shouldn't stay anymore and said in unison: "I'll retreat later."
After the two left, the quarrel behind them became even louder.
Seeing this, Li Si shook his head. It was up to Li Shimin to settle this matter himself. What he had to do now was to tell Li Xiuning the truth and ask her to cooperate with his actions.
Otherwise, after helping Li Xiuning so much, in the end Li Xiuning still hates himself for what he said, then Li Si will not be able to please both sides.
Li Xiuning was not imprisoned in prison, but was imprisoned in the Tang Palace, and his two children were also taken into the Tang Palace.
squeak……
The door was pushed open.
When he saw that the person who came was Li Si, Li Xiuning's eyes were full of anger and he said coldly: "Li Si, you are such an ungrateful guy, you actually have the nerve to come see me."
Li Xiuning was very kind to Li Si, and Li Si had always respected Li Xiuning. Otherwise, Li Xiuning would not have trusted Li Si so much.
"Your Highness, Princess, Li Si hasn't done anything shameful, so why don't you dare to come and give you a hard time, Princess?" Li Si said matter-of-factly.
"What did you promise me? You will never tell your second brother about Qi'er and Lin'er. But how did you do it?"
"But Your Highness Princess, Li Si also promised you to help the two young Highnesses escape from the prison."
Hearing this, Li Xiuning became even more angry. If her internal strength hadn't been blocked and her hands and feet were bound, she would have punched this shameless guy to death.
"It's a joke. Xiang Ge, the second brother, put Qi'er and Lin'er in danger. Is this how you repay me?"
"Yes, this is how I, Li Si, repay my kindness."
Li Si looked calm, then leaned into Li Xiuning's ear and whispered softly.
Li Xiuning looked shocked and uncertain, not knowing whether to believe this guy or not.
