Grandmaster Liu indeed discerned the emperor's intention, "The emperor's true objective is not to propel the Fourth Prince forward, but to elevate the status of the Li Family."
Upon hearing Grandmaster Liu's words, Prime Minister He finally understood.
"Your Majesty, by doing this, where does the Kong Family stand?"
The emperor smiled nonchalantly, "Not in a dead end." Although the reputation of the Kong Family had slightly waned among the scholars and literati of the world due to the previous dynasty's family head, they still held a high status in their hearts. Even though the Li Family's status had been rising among scholars, it still could not surpass the Kong Family. "Let the Fourth Prince go, it will spare the Crown Prince and the Second Prince from contention."
"Your Majesty, are you sure?" He Liang slightly furrowed his brows, speaking with a somewhat serious expression, "The Fourth Prince is not the legitimate son."
