When Prince Cheng ordered the elite cavalry to station themselves on the spot, Prince Li advised him that such action was unnecessary. When a vassal king from outside the Capital City enters, at most two hundred cavalry may accompany him into the city.
Yet Prince Cheng insisted on bringing only twenty riders.
Now at the city's gate, as long as Prince Li spoke to open the gate, they could enter the city ahead of time, but Prince Cheng refused again.
Encouraging Prince Cheng to enter the city early wasn't because Prince Li wanted to return to his residence's Anle Residence early, but because he wanted Prince Cheng to do more and thus commit more mistakes.
Be it Prince Cheng or Prince Zhuang, they were both obstacles to him.
Regardless of Prince Cheng's intentions, suppressing and calculating against him first was never wrong.
