Emperor Taihe sighed deeply, "Do you think I haven't thought about it? Between the two of them, who can truly bear the responsibility of Prime Minister?"
"Minister Li is unwilling to offend anyone, and likes to muddle through things. He neither has effective methods nor capable confidants. If he were promoted to Prime Minister, the other five chief ministers would not be pleased."
"Minister Ji is straightforward and stubborn, to the point of showing a long face even to me when he gets angry. His popularity is mediocre in court, and he is not fit to be a Prime Minister either."
The Da Liang Chancellor must withstand the Emperor's pressure from above and manage the civil and military officials below, be familiar with all Da Liang officials, and adept at handling political affairs. If someone could easily replace Prime Minister Wang, why would he have tolerated Prime Minister Wang's arrogance for so long?
