Li Jing found Li Xiu Ning.
His impression of Li Yi was very pure. It was a very straightforward admiration for soldiers.
If Li Yi were to do this because of His Majesty…Cough, cough, he would feel very regretful.
Therefore, when Li Jing reported to Li Shimin that he wanted to send troops but was rejected, another person popped up in his mind.
Princess Ping Yang, Li Xiu Ning.
All the elders in the Heavenly Policy Manor knew about Li Xiu Ning's friendship with Li Yi.
"Princess, this is what happened. You see…"
Li Jing and Li Xiu Ning sat opposite each other.
After listening to the contents of today's court meeting, Li Xiu Ning's beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"Duke Wei, do you have any countermeasures?”
Li Jing shook his head."
"I tried to persuade Your Majesty, but Your Majesty refused to send all the troops of Chang 'an to Youzhou. I came to you because I couldn't think of a way.”
Li Xiu Ning didn't say anything.
She was furious.
She was angry at her brother for doing such a thing!
This was tantamount to sending Li Yi to his death!
"I want to enter the palace!"
She gritted her teeth and stood up.
......
Dew Palace.
Li Xiu Ning quickly walked out of the hall. Just as she was about to enter, she was stopped by the Thousand Bull Guards.
"Your Highness, His Majesty has decreed not to see anyone today.”
Li Xiu Ning looked at the door of the hall in disbelief.
"Good, good…He knew I was coming today!”
She was so angry that her body was trembling.
"Then what if I insist on going in to see him?”
The two Thousand Bull Guards looked at each other and took a step forward at the same time.
"Your Highness, please understand. We are only following orders.”
As they spoke, their hands were already on the hilts of their sabers.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
At this moment.
A voice came from the side of the three people who were confronting each other.
"Why are you all so noisy?"
The three of them turned around.
It was the current mother of the world, Empress Zhangsun!
The two Thousand Bull Guards hurriedly bowed and explained,
"His Majesty has decreed that no one is to be seen today, but the princess insists on entering.”
Li Xiu Ning didn't say anything and just stared at Zhangsun Wugou.
Her sister-in-law.
Empress Zhangsun's voice was faint but extremely dignified."
"Alright, you can leave first. I'll accompany the princess for a while.”
"Yes!"
After the two left, only the two most respected women of the Great Tang remained outside the Dew Palace.
For a moment, he was speechless.
Zhangsun Wugou seemed to know Li Xiu Ning's intentions. When he spoke to her, his voice was gentle and carried a hint of persuasion.
"Xiu Ning, bengong knows how you feel right now.”
Li Xiu Ning's face was expressionless."
"If sister-in-law knows, then let me in.”
Even Empress Zhangsun could not help but choke.
How could they chat like this?
However, she quickly reacted and said,
"His Majesty is also suffering. Why don't you talk to me first?”
Li Xiu Ning said,"
"About what?"
Zhangsun Wugou held her hand and slowly walked to a pavilion.
After the two sat down, the palace maid was dismissed, giving the two sisters-in-law a quiet space.
"Do you know why His Majesty is unwilling to send troops to Youzhou?”
Hearing Zhangsun Wugou's question, Li Xiu Ning pursed her lips.
"It's still Li Yi's words before he went to war. He said that Chang 'an could not be empty and give the Turks or other enemy countries an opportunity.”
Zhangsun Wugou nodded and asked,"
"Since you know, why do you insist on arguing with His Majesty?”
Li Xiu Ning's eyes were dazed for a moment before they returned to clarity.
"Because my brother didn't dare to hand over all the troops in Chang 'an to Li Yi that day, he was afraid that he would never return.”
"But this time, Li Yi defeated the Turks and beheaded fifty thousand of them. Isn't this proof of his ability?”
"He can fight to this extent with only three thousand soldiers. I believe that if he had twenty thousand, he would have been able to annihilate two hundred thousand Turks in Youzhou!”
Zhangsun Wugou looked at her meaningfully and said,"
"I'm afraid that's not all…Xiu Ning, it's understandable that you admire him. However, if this is a matter of the imperial court, you must not be misled by love!”
Li Xiu Ning immediately retorted,
"Imperial Sister-in-law, am I such a person?”
"I do have some feelings for him…but this has nothing to do with what I said today!”
"Could it be that I can boast about Li Yi's achievements alone?”
Empress Zhangsun shook her head and sighed."
"Xiu Ning, His Majesty has his own difficulties. You have to put yourself in his shoes.”
"As the ruler of a country, he can't risk the safety of the country. Do you understand?”
Hearing this, Li Xiu Ning didn't want to say anything else.
Originally, in her heart, Li Shimin was still the King of Qin who could lead the army into battle.
At that time, Li Shimin was a soldier.
The current Li Shi Min was an emperor.
It was different after all…
She stood up.
"Your Majesty, please tell His Majesty that Li Xiu Ning is going to lead the female army back to the battlefield.”
"There is no need to worry about emptying Chang 'an's military. They are my own soldiers, so there is no need for Your Majesty to worry.”
"Regardless of the outcome, I, Li Xiu Ning, will bear the consequences alone!”
With that, he turned around and left!
