Chapter 217
Li Letian was a prince who took his positions seriously: his conduct was fair and his work conscientious. He was considerate of people's livelihoods, the economy, and military affairs. He could discuss literature and poetry with scholars and share hearty laughter with warriors. Yet, whenever someone pointed out his possible ambitions, he would sigh and say, "I am just helping father handle the affairs of the country, I have no interest in the throne."
Everyone could clearly see Li Letian's ambition, and they also saw that... his chances were slim.
Emperor Ming had many princes. If there was someone who was truly disinterested in the throne, it probably had to be Sixth Prince Li Xingzai. Ironically, he held the biggest chance of ascending the throne.
