"Qian Aiqing is absolutely right."
Li Chengfeng pretended to be silent. "Prime Minister Qi has indeed made great contributions to suppressing the rebellion. I have also been considering this matter. However, Prime Minister Qi previously claimed to be ill and took leave. Has he recovered now?"
"Your Majesty, I visited Prime Minister Qi a few days ago. He was in good spirits and in good health, but he was still feeling a bit depressed and I'm afraid he couldn't let go."

He also knew that Li Chengfeng kept Qi Daokun not because he had any real merit, but because the emperor still needed him.
