September 10th, early morning.
The memorials were sent to the imperial desk in Liangyi Palace.
After flipping through three memorials consecutively, the Emperor pondered for a moment and asked, "The position of Secretary of the Imperial Secretariat has been vacant for over a month. Recently, state affairs have been numerous, and Prime Minister Zheng alone struggles to support it. Who do you think is suitable to be the Prime Minister?"
After asking, the gaze did not fall on the most trusted Prime Minister Zheng Shidao, nor on the eldest son, Prince Jin.
But rather on Crown Prince Li Mu, whom he never wanted to see in Liangyi Palace—
...
"Who did the Crown Prince suggest?" Tang Xiaobai anxiously asked.
Tang Shigong smiled faintly, "The Crown Prince asked about Prince Jin and Prince Qing."
"Ah?" Tang Xiaobai was momentarily confused.
Tang Ziqian understood, sneering, "Our Crown Prince learns very quickly!"
Tang Xiaobai realized as well.
Leaders always speak last.
