The Prime Minister and the Emperor rarely sat together, just the two of them, having a calm conversation.
The Emperor did not answer the question directly but chose another approach, "I will voluntarily abdicate and let the Eldest Prince ascend the throne."
The Prime Minister had a peculiar smile on his face, which made the Emperor a bit annoyed. He frowned, "Don't look at me like that. I know he's not outstanding, but at least he's easy to control!"
This was a straightforward truth. From the perspective of a successor to the throne, the Eldest Prince indeed lacked excellence; he was somewhat short-sighted, which was quite normal.
When one is in an arrogant environment, people tend to become conceited and self-important, unwilling to bow down, which can cause them to stumble over trivial matters, like a small stone.
