After all, although Li Tai was deposed from real power by Li Shimin, he still had his wife by his side after all.
But Li Ke had nothing.
When he came to Jia Shou Hall, Xiao Junzi was the only servant left beside him, and the others were servants sent by Li Shimin.
Moreover, these people came to serve him on the surface, but in fact they were monitoring him.
It can be said that from this day on, the previously glorious King of Shu was completely dead.
Standing in the courtyard, looking at the flowers that were about to wither and wither, Li Ke felt infinite sadness.
Li Shimin was rightly disappointed with him.
But he was also disappointed with what Li Shimin did to him.
They are both sons, so why is there such a big gap?
What's wrong with him being a concubine? Is he any worse than his legitimate son?
It was just when Li Ke was feeling sad.
Suddenly a person walked in outside.
This person is none other than King Wei Li Tai.
Looking at Li Ke standing in the courtyard with a sad face, Li Tai smiled slightly.
He looked around and said, "Unexpectedly, Brother Huang went out for a walk and finally returned to this place."
Hearing this, Li Ke's face suddenly turned cold.
He said without looking back: "Are you here just to mock me?"
"No no no."
"I'm here to congratulate your royal brother on his housewarming."
Li Tai walked to Li Ke's side with a smile and said, "How about it? Brother Huang, are you beginning to regret not listening to me?"
"joke."
"A true man, what do you have to regret?"
"I just feel it's a pity that I couldn't kill him with one knife..."
A cold light flashed in Li Ke's narrowed eyes.
"If you kill him, my father will not let you live."
Li Tai chuckled and whispered: "After all, in the eyes of my father, he is the greatest treasure in the world, even more important than his own throne."
< br> Li Ke was already angry, but now he was even more angry after hearing what this guy said.
What on earth is this guy here for?
Are you here to comfort yourself or to make yourself angry?
Doesn't he know that what he least wants to hear now is about him?
And Li Tai is so smart, it is impossible not to know.
"Brother Emperor, I'm not telling you this to make you angry or anything."
"I just want to say that I can relate to what you are going through today."
Li Tai pointed at himself, shook his head with a wry smile and said: "After all, we are both the same, both of us are defeated by him..."
"The general is defeated?"
"I'm not..."
"He didn't beat me."
Li Ke sneered and said, "Besides, I'm different from you."
"Yes Yes Yes."
"Brother Huang is right."
"You and I are different because you are the king of Shu and you own the land of Shu."
Li Tai said as if he had just remembered: "Oh no, the emperor's fiefdom has been taken back by the emperor, and now Shu is no longer under the control of the emperor."
"even……"
"The imperial brother's military power will fall into his hands soon."
"When the time comes, he will take these people out to fight several times."
"A few more decent agitation..."
Li Tai looked at Li Ke with a sly smile on his face: "I'm afraid that the emperor's influence in the army will be completely wiped out by him."
Hearing this, Li Ke tried his best to appear calmer.
But his constantly trembling eyes had already betrayed his inner emotions.
The land of Shu, especially the soldiers of Shu, is what he values the most, and it is also what he wants to keep firmly in his hands.
After all, in an era like this, having military power is equivalent to having the right to speak.
The reason why he dared to confront Li Chengqian was because he had soldiers from Shu to support him.
If he no longer has military power, he really has nothing.
After all, Li Tai and Li Chengqian are both the children of Empress Changsun.
And this is also, in his opinion, the main reason why Li Chengqian has always tolerated Li Tai.
But he is different.
He is not the child of Queen Changsun.
If he doesn't have the ability to protect himself, he will definitely be eradicated by Li Chengqian.
By then, maybe his mother and concubine will have to eat melons with him.
Seeing Li Ke's thoughtful look, an imperceptible smile flashed across Li Tai's face.
Then, he pretended to be calm and said: "Okay, I'm relieved to see that Brother Huang is fine, so I'll leave first and come back to chat with Brother Huang when I have free time."
After finishing speaking, he did not forget to add: "After all, we all live in the palace now, and it is much easier to get around."
This sentence was like a steel nail, piercing Li Ke's heart directly.
Looking at Li Tai's leaving figure, Li Ke clenched his fists tightly...
After a long time, his eyes changed.
He stared into the distance and said softly: "Since there is nothing left, why can't I give it a try? Right, my father?"
…
Manna Hall.
Li Shimin was reading the memorial when Eunuch Zhou hurried in.
He said directly: "Your Majesty, something happened..."
"Um?"
Li Shimin raised his eyes and looked at Eunuch Zhou in confusion.
Eunuch Zhou quickly bowed and said: "The people from Jia Shou Palace came to report that the third prince took advantage of the changing of the guard and escaped from Jia Shou Palace."
"What?"
Hearing this, Li Shimin stood up suddenly.
He asked directly: "Where is the person now? Can he be found?"
"not at all……"
"And speaking of this, it should be within an hour. Things that happened before.”
Eunuch Zhou bit his lip and said, "I'm afraid he has already left Chang'an City by this time."
Hearing this, Li Shimin felt that something was wrong.
He quickly ordered: "Send an order to Duan Zhixuan to bring him back to me at all costs."
"yes……"
Eunuch Zhou intervened and immediately prepared to leave.
At this moment, Li Shimin suddenly stopped him.
He directly ordered: "If he dares to resist, necessary measures can be taken."
Hearing this, Eunuch Zhou was also shocked.
He said: "His Royal Highness is a prince, is this right..."
"Special times, special treatment."
Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "If he is allowed to return to Shu, we in the Tang Dynasty will probably have great troubles."
After all, Li Shimin was also very aware of Li Ke's influence in Shu.
The common people all loved this prince, and almost everyone followed him whether in official circles or in the military.
This is one of the reasons why Li Shimin put him under house arrest.
After all, if he led a group of people from Shu to cause trouble, it would be an extremely fatal blow to the booming Tang Dynasty.
But now that this guy is escaping, he must be heading to Shu.
In order to avoid unnecessary things, Li Shimin could only be cruel.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Tell Duan Zhixuan that no matter what happens, I will not hold him accountable. Just let him do it with peace of mind."
Hearing this, Eunuch Zhou also understood Li Shimin's attitude.
He raised his hand towards Li Shimin again and said, "Old slave, I understand."
After saying that, Eunuch Zhou walked away.
And Li Shimin was the only one left in the Ganlu Hall.
Li Shimin looked straight at the door, his face full of melancholy.
He really didn't want to see his sons follow the same path as he and his brothers.
Li Shimin sighed and said secretly: "Silly boy, please don't do anything stupid..."
