This outcome left Huangfu Yuxuan thoroughly disappointed in him.
Huangfu Yuxuan calculated correctly, with Prince Liang abolished and less than two years later Prince Zhuang also abolished, the Emperor indeed hesitated to establish the Crown Prince.
State affairs are not child's play, originally Prince Zhuang was chosen by the Emperor after careful weighing, analyzing, and consideration, but once he became the Crown Prince, he acted as if he were a different person.
This made the establishment of the Crown Prince seem like a farce, greatly damaging the Imperial Family's dignity.
It seems that even if a candidate is determined, one should not hastily announce it; instead, it is better to thoroughly consider temperaments again. The Imperial Family can no longer afford another blow to its dignity and must be more cautious.
