My father, Li Shimin, requests Your Majesty to become the Retired Emperor.

Li Shimin felt a burning hatred for Yin Hongzhi.

Because the night of the Lantern Festival was indeed very dangerous.

If Su Wan hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

What angered Li Shimin even more was that Consort Yin seemed not to have reprimanded her brother.

Even Consort Yin believed that Yin Hongzhi's actions were correct.

How intelligent was Li Shimin?

He could also deduce that it must have been Consort Yin who went to Empress Zhangsun for help.

Empress Zhangsun, out of consideration for Li Shimin, went to him and asked him to release Yin Hongzhi.

At that time, Li Shimin was furious and could not listen to Empress Zhangsun's words.

On the contrary, he believed that Empress Zhangsun did not care about his life, and even felt that Empress Zhangsun was siding with others rather than with him.

That time, he had a very unpleasant argument with Empress Zhangsun.

Xu Hui paused here, looked at Li Shimin, and asked, "Your Majesty, what are your plans for dealing with Yin Hongzhi?"

"Yin Hongzhi is audacious and reckless; he dared to assassinate me. He deserves to die."

What's there to say?

Once I capture him, I'll cut off his head and use it as a football!

"Your Majesty, you may have already heard the story of Han Xin."

Back then, Han Xin suffered the humiliation of crawling between someone's legs, and everyone looked down on him.

However, after Han Xin became the King of Chu, he returned to his original place.

Instead of seeking revenge on the man who had humiliated him, he promoted him and appointed him to an official position.

Although Han Xin was a great general and very remarkable, how can he be compared to Your Majesty?" Xu Hui's words, in a way, also elevated Li Shimin's status.

In fact, Li Shimin had also heard about Han Xin's act of repaying evil with kindness: "Han Xin is indeed extraordinary."

"Your Majesty, let me tell you another story."

"Oh? What story?"

That is the story between Duke Huan of Qi and Guan Zhong.

At that time, Guan Zhong was not one of Duke Huan of Qi's men.

He was a subordinate of Prince Jiu.

In order to prevent Prince Xiaobai from returning to the country and succeeding to the throne, Guan Zhong...

He shot an arrow at Young Master Xiaobai halfway there.

Xiao Bai had a quick idea and pretended to be dead, which saved him from disaster.

From then on, a deep-seated hatred was formed between Duke Huan of Qi and Guan Zhong.

Later, Prince Jiu's power waned, and Guan Zhong was captured by Duke Huan of Qi.

Logically speaking, since Guan Zhong once shot an arrow at Duke Huan of Qi, Duke Huan should have killed him.

However, Bao Shuya recommended Guan Zhong to Duke Huan of Qi.

At last,

Duke Huan of Qi decided to set aside his pride and forgive past grievances, appointing Guan Zhong as his prime minister. From then on, Duke Huan of Qi became a hands-off ruler, entrusting all state affairs, large and small, to Guan Zhong.

Ultimately, Guan Zhong helped Duke Huan of Qi become the hegemon of the Spring and Autumn Period.

Li Shimin listened quietly.

He thought to himself that Xu Hui was different from other women; she was well-read and knew a lot.

"Are you implying that I am inferior to Han Xin and Duke Huan of Qi?"

"Your Majesty, it's not like that. In my heart..."

You are a wise and benevolent ruler.

Your achievements surpass those of any emperor in history.

Even though Duke Huan of Qi and Han Xin were both outstanding, they also had their own weaknesses.” Xu Hui spoke eloquently.

No one in this world can resist praise.

The same applies to Li Shimin.

Listening to Xu Hui speak was a pleasure for him.

Simultaneously,

He was also thinking to himself, since Duke Huan of Qi could forgive Guan Zhong and Han Xin could forgive the person who had made him suffer the humiliation of crawling between someone's legs, should he forgive Yin Hongzhi?
