The reason why Li Xiu resigned from his official position to Liaodong was not only because he had promised Ma to accompany him to collect the corpse, but the most important reason was actually to stay away from the court. After all, he didn't like the disputes in the court. A few years ago, for some reasons, he fell into the court step by step. Now he can finally find an opportunity to get out.

However, there is another most important reason. Li Xiu did not tell anyone about this reason, that is because of Li Chengqian. Although his resignation had a lot to do with Li Chengqian, it was just a fuse. Only Li Xiu knew the real reason, and he didn't even tell Princess Pingyang.

When Li Chengqian was five or six years old, he was sent to Li Xiu to study by Li Shimin. At that time, Li Chengdao was still there, and the relationship between the two brothers was still very good. Every time, Li Chengdao took Li Chengqian to Li Xiu's place with him. Li Xiu also liked Li Chengqian very much and had never relaxed his education. Later, the Xuanwu Gate Incident still happened like in history. Li Xiu also paid more attention to the education of Li Chengqian, hoping to reverse Li Chengqian's destiny in history.

Everything went smoothly. Li Chengqian has been smart since childhood and has a very generous personality. He can listen to others. At least in Li Xiu's opinion, Li Chengqian is not as stubborn and self-righteous as in history. However, he did not expect that Li Chengqian had just become an adult, but his personality became more and more like the Li Chengqian in history.

Later, Li Xiu also analyzed the reasons for the change in Li Chengqian's personality. Finally, he guessed that it was probably because Li Chengqian had lived a smooth life since childhood and had never encountered any setbacks. As a result, he fell into a big relationship. Of course, this cannot be blamed on Qi Niang. Even Qi Niang is not very sure whether Li Chengqian likes her yet?

However, Li Chengqian's emotional setbacks were not the main reason for his major change in personality. It can only be said to be an inducement. What really made Li Chengqian fall down was because of his position as the crown prince. Li Chengqian was made the crown prince since he was a child. He was also a precocious child, so he also understood his responsibilities early on. It can be said that he worked hard to be a qualified crown prince since he was a child so that he could take over the throne in the future and benefit the people.

However, Li Chengqian was disabled on one leg due to temporary indulgence, which directly led to a change in Li Shimin's attitude. The most representative of them was that he allowed Li Tai to live in the Wude Hall. Although Li Tai failed to move in due to the opposition of the ministers, this incident had already hurt Li Chengqian's heart. After all, he had prepared for more than ten years to become a qualified prince, but was finally abandoned by his most biological father. This blow was almost devastating to him.

In addition, Empress Changsun passed away and suddenly became the last straw that overwhelmed the camel. Li Chengqian's personality also began to change during that period. At that time, Li Xiu had noticed it, so he tried his best to persuade him. However, it was not only ineffective, but instead caused his relationship with Li Chengqian to break down. After destroying Goguryeo, he returned to Chang'an to see Li Chengqian, and wanted to work harder in the end, but the final result was that his relationship with Li Chengqian was completely broken.

Li Xiu is a person who travels through time. He is familiar with history and knows very clearly that according to Li Chengqian's current personality, he will definitely be like in the original history. Even if Li Shimin does not kill him, he will never be able to keep the position of prince anymore and will only die in desolately.

Although the relationship between Li Xiu and Li Chengqian broke down, the other party was his student after all, and Li Xiu couldn't bear to watch Li Chengqian step by step into the abyss step by step and wanted to help him, but the other party was still merciless. This made Li Xiu very sad, so he simply resigned from his post, so he was in vain. In addition, if Li Chengqian really took the old path of history in the future, he would not be involved in it.

Originally, Li Xiu resigned and ran to Liaodong, and completely cut off contact with the power core of the Tang Dynasty. At least for a short time, he felt that there would be no trouble for the court. However, unfortunately, the court had divided the captured Goguryeo land into the Anton Protectorate and began to dispatch officials. Some officials were also sent to Xincheng. He heard that Li Xiu and the others were here, so he came to visit him and brought some news about Chang'an City.

Among these news, one of the news was about Li Chengqian, that is, the appointment of four people, Yu Zhining, Li Baiyao, Du Zhenglun and Kong Yingda, as assistant ministers of the East Palace, and Liu Li, Cen Wenben and Ma Zhou took turns to the East Palace to talk to Li Chengqian about learning and governance.

On the surface, it was normal for Li Shimin to send some ministers to teach Li Chengqian, but after hearing the news, Li Xiu sighed inwardly, because he knew that it must be that Li Shimin also discovered that Li Chengqian's personality was problematic, so he sent so many important officials to teach Li Chengqian. Not to mention anything else, Cen Wenben and Ma Zhou alone are both the most popular officials in the court. They are now the deputy prime ministers and may become prime ministers at any time. As for Kong Yingda, Yu Zhining and others, they are also knowledgeable scholars, and it is difficult for ordinary people to study under their disciples.

It is estimated that in Li Shimin's opinion, he sent out his knowledgeable scholars like Yu Zhining, plus Cen Wenben and other capable ministers, to educate Li Chengqian, but Li Xiu was not optimistic about this matter, because he remembered that in the original history, Li Shimin had done the same thing, hoping to educate Li Chengqian, who was increasingly extreme in his personality.

But what Li Shimin never expected was that ministers such as Yu Zhining were very dedicated and tried their best. When they encountered Li Chengqian's mistakes, they were brave enough to correct them. But it was precisely because these people were too responsible that no matter what Li Chengqian did, they could find some problems. They would write a long paragraph of advice to Li Chengqian every time, and each of them was more fierce than the other. As a result, Li Chengqian was young and energetic. Not only did he not listen to these people's advice, but he also fought against these people, and his words and deeds became more and more ridiculous.

It was precisely because of Li Shimin's improper selection of people and the wrong educational methods that made Li Chengqian's personality more and more distorted. Li Shimin also began to be disappointed with Li Chengqian, thus transferring his feelings to Li Tai. In the end, Li Chengqian finally gave up and conspired to rebel. Unfortunately, before he could take action, he was discovered by Li Shimin.

Thinking of Li Chengqian's life tragedy in history, Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh. Although he wanted to help Li Chengqian get rid of his tragic fate, it seems that Li Chengqian's tragedy seems to be destined and cannot be changed by human resources, even if it is not possible for him, which makes Li Xiu feel very powerless.
