Zhang Quan heard this and immediately said, "Your Majesty, I think this matter is very simple. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that 'practice makes perfect', and Confucianism has a saying that 'knowledge and action are one'. My suggestion is: give the two highnesses a fair chance to compete! Assign an area for the prince and princess, an area close to the battlefield, and observe the results after a period of time."
Does this method sound reliable? But in fact, in politics, this is called "muddling things over" and "dragging the issue". It extends the temporary intense conflict to give the parties involved and the relevant people time to react and deal with it. By the way, it gives the truly capable people a chance to defeat their opponents!
However, it must be said that this is the best solution at present. Such things are simply impossible to be resolved in a short period of time through the court.
As for the Crown Prince, if they must use tough measures and want to solve the problem in a short time, the most likely outcome is a coup! It is possible that His Royal Highness will go back to clean up the mess and then lead his troops to kill. As for who to kill, it all depends on His Royal Highness's interest.
In any case, Zhang Quan's suggestion began to ease the tense situation in the court. Everyone began to calm down and started to calculate.
The princelings have gained support from many conservative forces, past interest groups, and a large number of Confucianists.
The princess, on the other hand, has gained the support of emerging interests and a large number of vested interests.
In contrast, the princelings are deeply rooted and difficult to shake for a while; but this faction has already solidified. And we know that once something loses its enterprising spirit, many problems will arise.
Although the princess's power foundation is not as solid as that of the prince, the emerging power is powerful and has many followers. The new interests and new direction have united most of the knowledgeable people!
This is also an advantage for the princess, and this advantage can be continuously developed. This is also something that the prince cannot have.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye would know that the longer the situation dragged on, the greater the advantage the princess would have. It was just that the incident happened suddenly, and the princess was not fully prepared, giving the prince the opportunity and ability to fight back.
I believe that as long as a period of time passes, the princess will gradually exert her strength and accelerate development; but because the prince has the opportunity to respond, it also makes things much more complicated. Besides, who says that the prince can't develop industry and commerce!
Next, Ningguo will be very exciting.
After everyone left, Zhang Quan and Ning Xiaolan returned home. Ning Xiaolan suddenly turned around and smiled brightly, "Husband, thank you so much."
Zhang Quan smiled happily, "As long as you are happy. Let's go, Princess, it's time to rest."
"Okay." Ning Xiaolan still smiled sweetly, as if she had no other thoughts at all.
In fact, influenced by Confucianism, Ning Xiaolan is ambitious, but she is not a fickle person after all. Moreover, as a mature politician, political affairs and life affairs are separate.
In the past, Ning Xiaolan wanted to get rid of Zhang Quan, more out of political considerations - if Ning Xiaolan really became the empress, Zhang Quan would definitely be authoritarian and presumptuous! In order to prevent these things, Zhang Quan could only become a "saint". This is the inevitable and cruel thing in the political struggle.
