Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Chapter 354 Li Tai's plan

Afterwards things will be logical.

Li Xin moved out of the palace, lived in the Chu Palace, and succeeded the Chu King. Since then, the relationship between him and Li Chengqian and Li Tai has also become very awkward, so he has no contact for a long time, until today he unexpectedly met at the Legislative Hall.

Hearing that Li Xin said that he didn't care about the previous things for a long time, Li Chengqian finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although he knew that he did the right thing at that time, he still felt that he was somewhat sorry for Li Xin.

Li Xin patted Li Chengqian's shoulder and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's all happened so long ago. Don't be coy, man. I'll go to the East Palace to play with you some other day."

Li Chengqian also smiled reassuringly, and said, "Brother Xin just don't blame me anymore."

Watching Li Chengqian walk back to the East Palace, Li Xin stood there for a while, his eyes flickered, and then set foot on the road to leave the palace.

Today's Li Xin is no longer the Li Xin of the past. At that time, Li Xin might not understand some things, but now, Li Xin can see clearly. At that time, Li Tai who persuaded him to stay may not be a good person, and Li Chengqian who wanted him to move out of the palace may not be a bad person. To put it bluntly, everything is a matter of the crown prince.

Because of Li Xuandao's abdication of the throne, the rule that the throne can only be passed on to the eldest son has been broken—although it was in the form of Li Xuandao's initiative to break it, but no matter what the reason, if the rule is broken, it is broken.

Once the rules are broken once, who knows if there will be a second time? People with different positions will of course have different expectations for this matter. For example, the ministers in the court. They will never want the rules to be easily broken a second time. After all, breaking the rules twice in a short period of time is not a rule anyway.

Just imagine, each generation of emperors will have at least three or five princes. If there is a vigorous battle for the throne in each dynasty, no matter how stable the country is, it will not be able to withstand such turmoil. This is also an important reason why they keep asking Li Shimin to establish the prince early.

However, as far as Li Tai is concerned, he certainly hopes that this rule can be broken once again for him regardless of the consequences.

It's a pity that such a request cannot be said openly anyway, and even if it is said, no one will listen. So he had to figure out a way. And the method he came up with was also very simple and very effective: try to keep Li Xin in the palace, and then wait for the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

He knew that as long as Li Xin stayed in the palace for one more day, even if Li Chengqian was established as the crown prince, Li Shimin would still have hesitation in his heart—in other words, it didn't matter whether Li Shimin had hesitation in his heart, as long as Li Xin didn't Moving away from the palace, someone in the court will definitely interpret Li Shimin's decision as "hesitation".

Hesitation means opportunity. Due to different interests and different ideas, the ministers in the DPRK and China may not all hope that Li Chengqian will inherit the throne smoothly, but there is no suitable time to speak. When the time is right and the situation is chaotic, Li Xin can have the opportunity, isn't he worthy of Li Tai? Anyway, he is still the biological son of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun.

During those days when Li Xin stayed in the imperial palace, the court was almost overwhelmed, and even Li Shimin had a headache. Knowing that Li Xin didn't want to be kicked out of the palace like this, even if he was as decisive as Li Shimin, it would be difficult to get his brother's only son out.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but persuade Li Xin to move out of the palace.

Fortunately, in the end, Li Xin agreed, and finally left the palace in a dignified manner by actively asking to leave the palace.
