The emperor's tone was not harsh, yet it subtly carried a sense of deep-seated aversion, like he was disappointed in someone who could do better.
Jinrong was somewhat puzzled by this kind of reprimand.
It seemed like his Imperial Father was being unreasonable and looking for faults, wasn't he?
Precisely because he is a prince involved in governance, he should not meddle in everything, right? His duty was to assist the Ministry of Personnel, so why would he risk his life by being an overly ambitious prince worried about unrelated matters?
"I remember Father always said that the court's affairs should be handled by their respective departments. I have always kept Father's teachings in mind and dare not disobey. Whether it is disaster relief or local governance, there are specific departments in charge. Even if I concern myself with the difficulties in Yuanzhou, I am unable to reach out randomly," Jinrong said.
