Chapter 557: Arguing

down in Xizheng Hall and then said: "Everyone came to the East Palace so early, what's the matter"At this point, Zhao Xuanji slowly raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, I dare to ask, did the Cro...Chapter 557: Arguing

After pondering for a moment, Dantai Jing hesitated and said, "Your Highness's intentions are noble, but how many people in the world have discerning eyes In the end, I fear Your Highness will bear much blame."

Li Chen raised an eyebrow and said, "Throughout history, there have been foolish people, intelligent people, passionate people, and heartless people. All kinds of individuals, like fish crossing a river or grains of sand in the Ganges, are countless. But there are only two types of people that don't exist. Can you tell me which two"

Then, Dantai Jingzhi pondered for a moment before bowing and saying, "Your Highness, please enlighten me."

"The Immortal and the Perfect."

Li Chen said faintly, "People will die eventually. Some deaths are heavier than Mount Tai, and some lighter than a feather, but there is no immortal in the world."

"There's no perfect person in this world."

"What is sweet to one may be bitter to another. Everyone's ideas and thoughts are different, so their perspectives on the same person or thing will also vary. Therefore, who can make everyone like and praise them"

"What's a bad reputation Even the most wise and virtuous rulers throughout history have been criticized and ridiculed. The most vicious scoundrel on the street is still a pillar of support for his family."

After a long silence, Dantai Jing remained silent.

He let out a soft sigh. "Your Highness's unwavering resolve is something I've never seen before in my life."

Li Chen said: "My position and the current situation only allow me to think and act this way. If I am afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind, I am afraid that not only this academy in front of me, but even myself would have fallen into the abyss long ago."

"These matters, sir, you need not give them too much thought. This palace knows how to weigh them."

Li Chen looked deeply into Dantai Jing's eyes and said, "Tomorrow is the early court session, and it will be your first time attending. This palace wants you to bring up the matter of establishing a government-run bank at the court tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Dantai Jingzhi, who had known nothing about the money house before, was instantly stunned.

Li Chen explained the money-lending business to Dantai Jingzhi.

Dàntái Jìngzhī immediately understood. The crown prince urged him to enter the capital as soon as possible, it turned out he was waiting for him here.

This proposal is bound to be met with massive criticism, even if it comes from oneself, it will inevitably attract a lot of disapproval.

This made the usually meticulous and proud Dantai Jing hesitate.

Li Chen's face showed little emotion. Dantai Jingzhi knew, just as he had stated before, that as long as the crown prince determined something to be beneficial for the country and the people, no one, not even himself, could stop him.

Thinking about this, Dantai Jingzhi could only let it go.

This is why he was unwilling to enter the court before, he had no choice but to be controlled by others, too many interests intertwined, once he got involved, it would not be easy to stay out of it.

After much deliberation, Dantai Jingzhi finally sighed softly and said, "Your humble servant obeys."

Only then did Li Chen nod in satisfaction after receiving this answer.

He had been truly worried that Dantai Jing, valuing his reputation, would not agree to be the proposer of this suggestion. He even had a whole set of threats and inducements prepared, ready to use on Li Chen.

If it's not needed now, it's best to leave it untouched.

After the discussion was over, Li Chen had someone send Dantai Jingzhi to the mansion he had prepared for him, while he himself returned to the Eastern Palace.

As soon as he returned to the Eastern Palace, Li Chen received a message that left him utterly dumbfounded.

Zhao Rui and Gong Huiyu had an argument.

Li Chen just heard the news and thought it was utterly absurd.

A woman like Gong Huiyu, she's colder than stone. Would she ever argue with someone

Moreover, Zhao Rui is also a woman who knows her status and understands the general situation, and she would certainly not argue with people easily.

Without a word, Li Chen immediately went to the side hall.

Before even getting close, Li Chen heard Zhao Rui's voice coming from inside.

"I'm talking to you! Are you pretending to be deaf and dumb, or are you just ignoring me!"ns. This palace does not look down upon the White Lotus Sect’s most valuable possessions. If you agree to this, well and good; if not, then come.”Li Chen sneered, "For over three hundred years, your W...
