The civil and military officials are not present; only the Ritual Office eunuch remains nearby.
"Nan Hanwen, here to request funds, huh... Ten million taels of silver, you say, how much of it will actually end up in his hands?"
The Ritual Office eunuch remained silent and said, "This servant doesn't dare to say."
Chen Dingye said indifferently, "You don't dare to say?"
"I guess less than thirty percent."
"And whether this thirty percent is enough to corrupt Li Guanyi."
"I feel there's only a thirty percent chance, frankly, it seems somewhat futile."
The Ritual Office eunuch's face turned pale, unsure how to respond to the king's question. Chen Dingye casually put down the scroll, resting his hand on his knee, and said, "However, one wonders what Nan Hanwen will do with the remaining thirty percent of silver."
The Ritual Office eunuch suddenly understood something and said:
"Your Majesty, was it intentional?"
