"This sum of money is indeed used to save the Imperial Court. However, the reason why His Majesty did not give it to the civil and military officials is because the civil and military officials came to ask for money under the imperial father's decree!”
Seeing Li Yuanji's stunned expression, Li Jiancheng slowly continued,"
"Yuanji, you have to understand the difference. Father will distribute this 1,050,000 to the civil and military officials. The civil and military officials will only think of Father's good deeds.”
"His Majesty has taken a fancy to this point, which is why he said that he wants to expand the Three Palaces and Six Courts today. In fact, His Majesty's intention is to let the civil and military officials know who holds the imperial power.”
"Your Majesty, are you thinking so far ahead?" Li Yuanji clicked his tongue.”
"You didn't see it, and many people didn't see it either, but there must be someone who saw something.”
Li Jiancheng looked at Li Er and said faintly,"For example, your second brother Shimin, he also saw it.”
Sensing Li Yuanji's gaze, Li Er said calmly,"
"I also felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't tell what it was. It was also because of my brother's words that I felt enlightened and understood what was wrong.”
Li Jiancheng shook his head and sighed.""So, I don't want to fight for the throne anymore. I'm a little afraid that if I continue fighting with Li Tai, I'll be played to death.”
"I don't think so, right?" Li Yuanji hesitated.”
"Let's see. Maybe our suspicions are wrong," Li Er said in a deep voice.”
So you still want to fight?
Li Jiancheng glanced at him and shook his head in his heart. How could he doubt his mistake? It was fine if he suffered once, but he suffered twice in a row. How could he not remember?
After these two incidents, Li Jiancheng could finally tell.
Li Tai.
He just looked young.
In fact, he knew as much as anyone else!
Those who looked down on him would definitely suffer a huge loss in the end!

At this moment, the officials who had returned from King Qin's Residence were all making preparations for the little Emperor's selection at the morning court.
Xu Manor.
Xu Xiaode shook his head and sighed. He returned home with his hands behind his back.
"Father, what's wrong?"
As soon as he entered the house, a crisp voice sounded in his ears.
Xu Xiaode tilted his head and saw a cute little girl blinking her beautiful eyes and looking at him curiously.
It was his eldest daughter, Xu Hui!
Xu Hui started to speak when she was five months old. She was familiar with the Analects of Confucius and Mao Shi when she was four years old. Now, she was only eight years old, but she was already good at writing articles. She was recognized as a talented woman by the people around her.
"I have a problem now.”
Xu Xiaode walked up to Xu Hui and gently stroked her little head. He smiled bitterly and said,"I have a headache now."
"What problem is giving Father such a headache?" Xu Hui asked curiously.”
"His Majesty wants to expand the three palaces and six courtyards.”
"Ah?"
Hearing Xu Xiaode's words, Xu Hui couldn't help but cover her small mouth. Her pretty face was filled with shock as she said,"Isn't the current Emperor Li Tai, who is the same age as his daughter? He's only eight years old, and he wants to have three palaces and six courtyards?”
Xu Xiaode said angrily,"
"That's right. She's already thinking about having three palaces and six courtyards at the age of eight. If she's eighteen, won't she turn the world upside down?”
"Father remonstrated in King Qin's Mansion today, even to the point of death. Guess what the little emperor said? He said that he was not allowed to persuade them. If he continued to persuade them, he would wait until Father died before exiling our entire family. The Supreme Emperor's greatest mistake was to let such an incompetent child inherit the throne!”
Xu Hui rested her chin on her finger and lowered her head to think for a while. Then, she said in a crisp voice,"Father, I think you're wrong!”
Xu Xiaode was sulking as he placed the Xiezhi Crown heavily on the stone table. When he heard Xu Hui's words, he frowned and looked at her,""You're so young, what do you know!”
Xu Hui blinked her beautiful eyes and said,
"Although your daughter is eight years old, she has already read the Analects of Confucius and Mao Shi at the age of four.”
Xu Xiaode's breathing stopped at her words. He frowned and said seriously,
"The little Emperor is different from you. You are my daughter, Xu Xiaode, and a talented woman. What is Li Tai? He only knows how to munch on melon seeds and fool around in court every day.”
"Hehe, this is where I feel that my father is wrong!”
Xu Hui laughed and said,
"They are both eight years old, but why does father think that his daughter is a talented woman and that the little emperor is not a talented person?”
"And if the little emperor really doesn't have any abilities and only knows how to eat melon seeds, how could he sit on the throne that the original crown prince and the king of Qin fought for so many years?”
"This…This might be the Supreme Emperor's idea!" Xu Xiaode hesitated.”
Xu Hui bit her little finger and tilted her head.
"That's even stranger! The little Emperor was the fourth son of the King of Qin. Above him were the eldest son, Li Chengqian, the second son, Li Kuan, and the third son, Li Ke. Not to mention, the original Crown Prince and King Qi also had sons. Why did the Supreme Emperor choose the eight-year-old Li Tai among the princes? Isn't that strange?"
"If Li Tai is really as mediocre as father said, how could he be appreciated by the Supreme Emperor and even obtain the throne of the Supreme Emperor?”
Hearing this, Xu Xiaode couldn't help but tremble, and his eyes widened.
