How did this notion arise?
It turns out that the newly appointed Emperor, once the Imperial Court settled and everything was under his control, began to recruit skilled craftsmen throughout the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty to construct a magnificent palace within the Harem.
Initiating grand construction just after ascension and building lavish residences made many ministers worry—this is not a good omen.
How many fallen emperors were led astray by extravagance!
Of course, these ministers dared not voice such thoughts aloud.
They only tactfully advised His Majesty, noting that the late emperor was always frugal, suggesting that the Emperor might follow the late emperor's legacy.
Long Xiao watched Minister of Revenue on the Imperial Court, showing no emotion.
The Minister of Revenue was an old man with a mustache, looking very shrewd.
Naturally, to hold such a position, one couldn't be without a sharp mind.
The Minister of Revenue had abilities, but was very stingy.
