When Feitu Shenzhou and Yaosheng Island fell into the scheme of the Shang Dynasty and the war officially broke out, things in Yingzhou and Ningguo were not very peaceful either.
The battle for the crown prince between Ning Xiaolan and Prince Ning Zhizhen finally came to an end, and Ning Xiaolan also received special congratulations from Xia Qingqing, the Queen of the Shang Dynasty.
Xia Qingqing is now well-known in Yingzhou and is known as a queen of her generation. She was able to carry the banner of the Shang Dynasty in times of crisis and ensure its development, and she was indeed praised by many emperors.
Now, Ning Xiaolan was officially canonized as the "Princess", and she was only one step away from the throne. And for Ning Xiaolan, this step was not far away.
As long as Ningguo continues to develop under Ning Xiaolan's leadership, and science, industry, capitalism, etc. further develop, Ning Xiaolan will prepare to "force the emperor to abdicate" again - Her Royal Highness the Princess does not have the leisure time to wait for her father to give up the throne.
Ning Xiaolan is not a flower that cannot withstand the wind and rain.
However, Ning Xiaolan is now facing a small threat—the failed former crown prince Ning Zhizhen, who is not someone who will give up easily. Ning Xiaolan has obtained intelligence from many sources that Ning Zhizhen is preparing to "rebel."
However, Princess Ning Xiaolan was not worried at all. This was expected. Politics is sometimes very complicated. Ning Zhizhen not only represents herself, but also represents the past interests and powerful class of Ningguo.
The vested interests in the past would certainly not be happy to fail, and a counterattack before death was inevitable. Even rabbits would kick eagles before they died, not to mention the powerful people who held power. In other words, Ning Zhizhen's rebellion was largely urged by the interest groups behind him.
At this time, Ning Xiaolan and Zhang Quan were walking side by side in the warehouse of the Xinghuo Liaoyuan Group. Ning Xiaolan looked around. There were mountains of magical weapons here, enough to arm a hundred thousand troops.
Gently touching these magic tools, Ning Xiaolan smiled faintly: "The times are always progressing. If you don't work hard, you will be eliminated. And there are always some people and some things that will be eliminated. I will take these 100,000 sets of magic tools away."
Zhang Quan smiled and said, "What's mine is yours. I have no objection if you want to take it away. But the workers may have objections. Xiaolan, do you think you can pay a little cost price? At least the workers can have something to eat."
"Don't worry, I will pay 90% of the market price!" Ning Xiaolan said without hesitation. Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly, and Ning Xiaolan knows the importance of things. Draining the pond to catch all the fish is not what a true politician should do.
Besides, Ning Xiaolan is not a simple person, and Zhang Quan is not a softie either; Ning Xiaolan knows very well that her husband is not a rigid gentleman. If pushed to the limit, Zhang Quan will definitely be able to "do more harm than good".
Ning Xiaolan's plan was also very clear. The first step was to seize the throne and become the empress; then, there would be plenty of opportunities to slowly deal with Zhang Quan, and she would definitely make Zhang Quan a "sage" who would shock the past, present and future generations - if that was necessary.
Soon, carts of weapons and armor were sent away, as well as a large number of guns and artillery, including hundreds of supersonic aircraft. Ning Xiaolan had already begun to build a powerful military force.
