As children, they naturally miss their mothers very much.

But for the sake of hegemony, everyone has cultivated a heart of iron and courage.

Since you want to overthrow a dynasty, how can you tie your heart because of the love of your children?

"Xiu Ning, it's great that you can come back this time."

Li Yuan sighed: "You can come back to assist my father, which can be said to have added another right-hand man to my father. After the success of this hegemony, we, father and son, father and daughter will sit together in this country hand in hand!"

"Father."

Li Xiuning pursed her lips, her face suddenly turned ugly: "Actually, I'm here this time..."

Chapter 286 The Intriguing Li Clan

"Okay, stop talking."

Originally Li Xiuning wanted to directly state her purpose, but Li Yuan directly interrupted her and prevented her from continuing.

For a while, Li Xiuning felt rather strange.

Judging by his father's appearance, it seemed that he deliberately didn't want her to speak frankly.

The atmosphere at the dinner table also immediately became weird.

Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng looked at Li Xiuning with strange eyes.

But Li Yuanba didn't think so much, he just kept eating with his head down, ignoring what his brothers, sisters and father were talking about.

For him, as long as there is food to eat and battles to fight, he doesn't care about anything else.

Then Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin are different. These two have their own ambitions, especially after Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor and Li Jian was established as the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, the relationship between the two brothers became even more delicate.

Usually they can't see anything, but when it comes to fighting for power and profit, they seem to have become sworn enemies.

Now the biggest enemy of the Li family has not been resolved, but they have a faint tendency to fight each other.

So Li Yuan is also careful everywhere now, and treats his children very cautiously.

Li Xiuning's sudden return was actually not a good thing for Li Yuan.

It's not that Li Yuan couldn't guess the purpose of Li Xiuning's return, but he didn't let Li Xiuning speak out on this occasion, because he didn't want to intensify the intensity of the conspiracy between his children.

However, although he stopped Li Xiuning from speaking in time, both Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng vaguely guessed something.

So during the next meal, although Li Xiuning tacitly did not mention these things, the atmosphere at the dinner table was still very strange.

After eating, Li Yuan and Li Xiuning went out of the temporary palace for a walk.

Accompanied by court ladies and eunuchs and guards along the way, whenever they saw a servant, they would show the highest level of etiquette to Li Xiuning.

But Li Xiuning didn't have any pleasure of becoming a princess.

Li Xiuning knew in his heart how worthless this so-called "Her Royal Highness" was when those people called her Her Highness the Princess one after another.

It's like a child playing house.

"Xiu Ning, my father knows the purpose of your return this time, but it is better to persuade you not to speak. If you are willing to stay as an assistant, then my father can give you an army and give you rights. , but if you don't want to assist Weifu, then Weifu advises you to return to Ye Fan as soon as possible."

Li Yuan asked the court ladies, eunuchs and guards to follow at a distance, while he and Li Xiuning walked in front.

No one could hear the conversation between Li Yuan's father and daughter.

"Father, what do you mean?"

Li Xiuning asked a little strangely.

"You do not understand."

Li Yuan smiled bitterly: "At the beginning, my father didn't understand it either. Now that I've reached this point, my father discovered that some things are not as simple as imagined."

"Father, did you encounter some problems?"

Li Xiuning hesitated for a while, but still planned to ask what happened.

"Is it not as simple as a problem?"

Li Yuan shook his head: "When I was threatened by Goguryeo, I was not afraid for my father. When Ye Fan attacked Xiangping, I was not afraid for my father. When Yuan Ji died, I was not afraid for my father!"

"However, from the day when my father announced the founding of the country and proclaimed himself emperor, my father was afraid."

Li Yuan said with a heavy expression: "From that day on, the hearts of our family have completely dispersed."

"Struggling for power, grabbing power and occupying land, in order to be able to overwhelm the other party, these people can be said to do everything they can."

Speaking of this, Li Yuan gave another wry smile: "So now I regret being my father, what's the use of taking the world if you say it? The imperial power is there, but the family is gone."

"Father, if this is the case, why do you still rebel?"

Li Xiuning persuaded with a serious face: "Mother is still waiting for you in Luoyang City, Ye Fan asked me to persuade you to surrender this time, it is also for our family's consideration, Ye Fan is our family's savior, I can't live up to his expectations! "

"So, father, please think carefully. It's still too late to turn around now. Ye Fan's voice in the court is very important, and the emperor has to listen to him. He assured me that as long as you surrender now, he can completely guarantee our family. lives are in danger.”

"Xiu Ning, of course I have considered this as a father, but it's not as simple as you think."

Li Yuan shook his head and sighed: "At the dinner table, you can also see that the relationship between your eldest brother and second brother is already like fire and water, and it is difficult to get along."

"They each control the army, as well as the Goguryeo army of Ulji Mundeok, and the interests of many important ministers in the Sui Dynasty. If the father said that he would surrender now, do you think they would agree?"
