Capital City.
Li Mansion.
Ever since National Master Li Baiyang resigned from his official post and disengaged from worldly affairs, the disciples of the aristocratic families within the Capital City had all set their eyes on the position of Minister of the Ministry of Rites.
But Li Baiyang knew well that even if he no longer held the position, it would not fall to the disciples of other aristocratic families.
The Longxi Li Family was indeed the leader of the Ten Great Clans.
Without their consent, other aristocratic families could only covet the position but dared not act rashly.
After resigning, Li Baiyang indulged in chess and calligraphy, rarely leaving his house, spending his days practicing calligraphy and playing chess.
Even when officials from the Imperial Court came to visit, he would dismiss them with casual replies.
His demeanor truly made it seem as if he cared little about these matters.
