Story:
Li Chong, a well-regarded prime minister in the Northern Wei Dynasty, was known for his diligent and fair work, earning deep trust from Emperor Xiaowen. Whenever Emperor Xiaowen went on campaigns, Li Chong would manage court affairs with perfect order.
After Li Chong's death, Emperor Xiaowen was deeply grieved. At his tomb, he remarked, 'If I were to go on a campaign, entrusting court affairs to you would leave me with no worries about what's left behind.'
