Chapter 1658 Compromise(2/2)
The place where Xuanyuan lived was not far from his palace. Even if Li Shimin was assassinated, Xuanyuan would be able to rush to his rescue immediately. Furthermore, with Xuanyuan's strength, once someone sneaked in, he would be able to detect it immediately.
After Li Shimin returned to the palace, he met Empress Changsun first. The two briefly chatted for a few words, and then Li Shimin went straight to Tai Chi Palace to see Li Yuan.
He came outside Li Yuan's palace with a solemn expression.
He has always been strict with himself and made himself a holy lord and wise king.
But now, he failed miserably.
Li Shentong was killed!
Qin Qiong was captured!
The army suffered heavy losses.
Even the Shaolin Temple that suddenly appeared weighed down the entire Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin almost suffocated.
However, Li Shimin had to calm down and brace himself to deal with the coming situation. After a short pause, he stepped in and saw Li Yuan who was listening to singing and dancing.
When Li Yuan saw Li Shimin coming back, he waved his hand for the singers to leave, and asked: "How is the situation?"
"Failed!"
Li Shimin replied in a low voice.
He walked directly to the bottom of the hall, sat cross-legged casually, looked at Li Yuan, and said: "Father, in this battle, Uncle Wang was killed, Qin Qiong was captured, and our army suffered heavy casualties."
Li Yuan's expression changed drastically.
Unexpectedly, the result was so tragic.
For a while, Li Yuan stopped criticizing Li Shimin and asked, "What's going on?"
Li Shimin did not hide anything. He explained the situation in detail, including Wang Can pretending to be Li Duan, the appearance of the Shaolin Temple, and even the signing of a treaty between him and the Shaolin Temple.
Li Shimin explained everything clearly.
After talking about everything, Li Shimin said: "I can't understand today's world. But Shaolin Temple is willing to escort us, and I chose to agree. Under the current situation, we have no choice but to endure the humiliation and bear the burden first.
To facilitate future rise.”
Li Yuan also frowned deeply.
He is a well-informed person and is used to seeing all kinds of storms and waves, but now after hearing what happened to Li Shimin, he also felt a headache, and he felt that even he himself might not be able to do better than Li Shimin.
"Thanks a lot."
Li Yuan sighed.
Li Shimin said: "I don't have to work hard, as long as I can stabilize the Tang Dynasty, no matter how much I pay, it will be worth it."
Li Yuan also nodded and said: "The biggest problem now is personal strength. There are many talents in my Li family. You can find a way to let them study in Shaolin Temple and strive to increase our strength first.
.With strength, things will be easier to handle in the future.”
Li Shimin's eyes lit up.
He didn't expect this.
Li Shimin said: "I will remember my father's teachings and I will start arranging this matter after I return."
