Chapter 72 Lucky and Unfortunate

Li Tai worked hard to create a masterpiece, which was originally used to attack the position of the Eastern Palace by taking advantage of this. However, he did not expect that because of Duan Yanfang, Li Shimin's deep inner concerns were directly stimulated. A reverse sprint rushed out of Chang'an. The Eastern Palace not only did not enter, but was getting further and further away.

With the imperial edict of Li Shimin, Li Tai's official position to Luoyang was a foregone conclusion, and even the days had been finalized. Just after the first month of the year, Li Tai, the King of Wei, who posed the greatest threat to Li Ke's position as crown prince, was officially eliminated after the former crown prince Li Chengqian. Everyone knew that Li Ke's position as crown prince was as stable as Mount Tai.

Chang'an City, Shengyefang, and Wei's Palace.

If nothing unexpected happens, Li Tai's official will not be able to return to Beijing within a few years. The Wei royal family and the king's mansion will have a great family. Once Li Tai leaves the capital, he will not return for several years. There are naturally many things that the royal family has to move to Chang'an with him. Many people in the mansion have already started to clean up and are preparing to send it to Luoyang, and the whole country is busy.

Li Tai, who was originally relaxing in the yard, was feeling worse and worse when he looked at the scene in front of him. Anyway, he could not control the consequences, so he simply hid in the room in the inner courtyard.

"Isn't Your Highness going to the yard to relax? Why did you suddenly go back to the house?" Princess Wei Yan Wan looked at Li Tai who had just left the house and turned back to the house and asked in confusion.

Li Tai sighed and said, "Now that the situation in the mansion is like this, how can you let me scatter my heart?"

Yan Wan looked at Li Tai's appearance and didn't know what Li Tai meant. Now everyone in the mansion is busy moving, it would be strange if Li Tai's mood is better.

Yan Wan said: "If your highness is reluctant to leave this palace and leave Chang'an, just plead with your father. The father loves His Highness the most. If your Highness asks you, your father may become soft-hearted."

Li Tai shook his head and said, "This is impossible. My father has experienced Xuanwu Gate. This is what he is most taboo. Even if his father still has the intention of keeping me in Chang'an, he will not issue an order to let me go. Since this order has been issued, it will be difficult to take it back there. I am afraid that I can't stay in Chang'an City."

Yan Wan looked at Li Tai's loss-losing look and comforted him: "Although Chang'an City is good, Luoyang is not bad. The father and the prince specially set up a yard for His Highness to open a palace in Luoyang, which is a special encounter."

Li Shimin loved Li Tai, so he naturally couldn't bear to Li Tai's suffering. Li Ke would not ask anyone to find any mistakes in his work. In order to show his emphasis on Li Tai, the court specially set up a whole yard in Luoyang to build a Wei Palace for Li Tai. It is rare.

This time, the imperial court did a lot of things for Li Tai's release. Not only did Li Tai's official position as the Eastern Capital Luoyang, but he also acquired the fangyuan area in Luoyang, leaving a whole fangyuan for Li Tai to build the Wei royal palace. There were 300 acres of marsh on the bank of the palace, with beautiful scenery. It was a scenic spot in the Eastern Capital at that time, which showed its favor.

When Li Tai went to Luoyang, he would definitely be rich and worry-free, and extremely generous, but what he wanted was not these. What he wanted was the Eastern Palace, the throne, the power, and the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Tai said: "You don't have to comfort me anymore. The officials I have done are just outgoing. No matter how good Luoyang is, can we live in Chang'an? No matter how good the Wei Palace in Luoyang is, can we still be as good as the Eastern Palace?"

No matter how rich Luoyang is, it is naturally not as good as Chang'an, and no matter how luxurious the Wei Palace is, it is even more comparable to the Eastern Palace where the crown prince is located. It is not only the magnificence on the surface, but also a symbol of the future inheritance of the emperor. Not to mention the current scene, even if Li Tai asked to sleep on a straw mat and drink coarse porridge in the Eastern Palace, he would be happy.

Li Tai's appearance is already a little obsessed. Yan Wan has been married to Li Tai for some time. She rarely saw Li Tai like this before. At this time, Li Tai did not have the demeanor of a talented man in the past, and she couldn't help but feel a little more worried.

Yan Wan said to Li Tai: "In the dispute over the throne, those who gain will lose will be inevitable. If you release them from the capital, you will leave the capital. Why should your Highness be obsessed with this?"

Li Tai said: "I compiled the land abbreviation for my father, and I made great contributions. Even if I cannot receive the heavy reward from my father, I should not be demoted from Chang'an. What is the reason? How can I open my mind if you want me?"

Although Li Tai was a little excited, what he said was reasonable. He worked hard for several years to compile the Kuodizhi, but this Kuodizhi was written and Li Shimin issued an imperial edict to release him out of the capital. The gap between the past and the future was so big that it would be strange if Li Tai could accept it.

Yan Wan then comforted: "The kings of the Tang Dynasty royal family, compared to those young people who left the capital, His Highness is the last to release him. His Highness should be content and follow God's will."

Most of the kings of the Tang Dynasty would be released around the age of hair removal. Except for Li Tai, there is no exception. If you don’t see the fifth prince, Li You, the King of Qi, will definitely be ill before leaving Beijing, just to stay in Chang'an and not leave, but in the end, they can’t stand the impeachment of court officials, and they will leave honestly every time. It is rare for Li Tai to stay until this age.

Li Tai said excitedly: "I am not something they can compare with. I am the legitimate son of my father and I am the most favored by my father. I should have stayed in Chang'an and followed my father."

Yan Wan sighed and said to Li Tai: "Your Highness is wrong. The emperor's favorite legitimate son is no longer in Chang'an, and he is now staying in Qianzhou."

As soon as Yan Wan's words came out, Li Tai was choked. Yan Wan said it was exactly the same. Li Shimin's sons, including Li Chengqian, Li Ke, Li Tai and Li Zhi, were undoubtedly his eldest son Li Chengqian. Now Li Chengqian is exiled in Qianzhou and cannot return to Beijing, let alone Li Tai?

When Yan Wan said this, Li Tai wanted to refute it, but he didn't know where to start, because Yan Wan said everything was factual. When it comes to Li Shimin's favor for his sons, no prince can compare with Li Chengqian at the time. Even the current crown prince Li Ke, let alone Li Tai, who is weaker than Li Ke.

Yan Wan looked at Li Tai and was worried that Li Tai would be so tired. After seeing the opportunity, she stepped forward and comforted her softly: "Although Your Highness has not been able to enter the Eastern Palace, at least your Highness is still the prince. He is still noble when he goes to Luoyang, and he is admired by the world. It is much better than Prince Chengqian."

Li Tai listened to Yan Wan's words and sighed quietly: "If you follow your words, I should be grateful?"

Yan Wan said: "The prince's official position is the only one who should be in front of him, but His Highness is just right at this time. If you have a while, can your Highness really retreat? Let's take a step back, what if your Highness stays in Chang'an now? Can you still reverse your destiny?"

What Yan Wan said is the truth. Now Li Ke has won the hearts of the people. Even his uncle Changsun Wuji has made peace with Li Keyan. He has no help in the court, so what can he use to compete with Li Ke? Even if he stays in Chang'an, it is useless and will only make Li Ke feel annoyed.

Thinking of this, Li Tai seemed to feel a little more comfortable.
