Li Longji was indeed a decisive emperor.
Whether it was his character since childhood or his experiences while growing up under the Gu Clan, all intensified his inherent confidence.
Especially after the Great Tang became increasingly prosperous.
All of this made Li Longji even more self-assured.
Such is human nature; when an emperor who is already at the pinnacle of power continues to succeed without obstacles, his mindset gradually changes over time.
Li Longji was no different.
As he aged, he began to indulge in pleasures and consistently believed he could control everything.
He entrusted daily governmental affairs to his ministers.
And naturally, at the beginning, it was the Gu Clan.
Li Longji's affection for the Gu Clan needs no further elaboration, yet the talents of the Gu Clan's younger generation had clearly regressed.
No matter how much Li Longji trusted them.
In facing the weight of the nation, the insufficiency of the Gu Clan's talent became fully evident.
