Prince Li Wenxuan is a very troublesome figure for ministers.
Compared with several brothers who were eyeing him, as a prince, he was always thinking about how to avoid inheriting the throne.
"Obviously it's good to be an idle prince. I'm not interested in those intrigues about the rights of the family and the country. It's better for me to have fun."
The Minister of Rites trembled, "When you are the emperor, you will be the supreme being in the world."
"How can I manage such a large group of people under my control? It's too troublesome and inappropriate."
The Minister of Hubu thought hard, "If you are not the emperor, your brother is eyeing you, and your life is in danger at any time."
"It's inappropriate to say that there will be no risk if I become the emperor."
The Minister of War frowned, "Power, money, beauty, whatever you want is yours."
"Power can fall away from me at any time. I have to be careful all the time. Trouble: the money has to be used in this and that aspect. It belongs to the country and not to me. Trouble. As for the beauty, she might cuckold me. It's even more trouble. It's inappropriate."
He followed the temptation and said, "When I am an idle prince, I can travel around the beautiful scenery and see the beauties in the world. My money is my own and can be used at will. If not, I don't have to have a family, so I don't have to worry about other troubles. You see, is it better than the emperor?"
The ministers beat their chests and stamped their feet, while the prince swayed with his legs crossed and happily began to imagine a better life after leaving the throne.
