ofit goes to the Ministry of Households."Liu Sichun said without hesitation, "This is already a great favor to the Liu family. The little woman thanks Your Highness."Then, Liu Sichun looked at Li Chen...Chapter 1324: Outlook

Fu Yuzhi's face flushed with a hint of shame as she said, "Those people aren't actually from the East Palace; they're just on the periphery. They fawn over the Crown Prince hoping to gain favor. Whenever we give them orders, they nitpick and find fault. Not only did they embarrass Grand Councilor [Name], but even I, as the Minister of Civil Affairs, couldn't get them to listen."

Zhao Xuanji let out a cold snort and said, "Then you have to find a way. Either bypass them or transfer them away. You are the provincial governor of the Ministry of Personnel. If you can't even deal with these thorns, how can you gain the respect of others Let alone talk about controlling the Ministry of Personnel."

Fu Yu Zhi said in a low voice, "What the elder said is very true, but I'm worried that if we really move against them, it will involve Xu Changqing and others afterwards. They are very troublesome, and Xu Changqing is backed by the Crown Prince. The involvement is too great, to the extent that I don't know where to start."

"Mind too small."

Zhao Xuanji tapped the table with his fingers and said calmly, "Not only is your own perspective narrow, but you also see the prince's perspective too narrowly."

"Haven't you noticed yet, the prince's vision is so grand, even I can't compare."

While we were still preoccupied with competing with him for power, his vision had already expanded to encompass the entire nation. His plans were grand and intricate, each event unfolding in a carefully orchestrated sequence, building upon the previous one.

When he introduced the new policy, he no longer cared about the gains and losses of the court officials. He only needed to ensure that the overall direction was in his hands.

So, you took care of a few people on the outskirts of the East Palace. Even if you lured out Xu Changqing and the others, the Crown Prince would most likely not intervene personally.

"As for Xu Changqing, he's merely a Minister of Revenue. His official rank already limits his reach; he can't possibly leap onto your face, can he"

He can't get anything done, and he wouldn't dare to complain to the Crown Prince because he'd most likely be scolded instead of consoled. That would make him look incompetent. If everything has to be personally overseen by the Crown Prince, then what are they even doing

"So these matters, I cannot intervene. If I do, the prince will inevitably take action, and then the situation will be uncontrollable. But if you two act, your greatest opponents would be people like Xu Changqing. What are you afraid of"

Zhao Xuanji's words made Fu Yuzhi suddenly realize, and he immediately said: "I was obsessed. Thank you, Elder, for pointing it out."

Zhao Xuanji sighed softly: "Actually, it's such a simple matter. You've all been navigating the treacherous waters of court for many years. How can you not see through it Or are you intimidated by the Crown Prince, so scared that you hesitate and back down"

"Politics, if one does not strive, is like going upstream, not progressing means retreating. Power is only so much; if you don't grasp it, the result is the same as being dismissed."

"But if a dispute arises and power is seized, even the Crown Prince would have to consider the overall interests and stability before making any move."

At this point, Zhao Xuanji suddenly turned to Zhang Biwu and asked, "Zhang brother, what do you think"

Zhang Biwu, who had hardly said a word, seemed to be awakened as if by a jolt. He smiled at Zhao Xuanji and said: "What the senior official said is very true. The two of us will go back and organize our thoughts and come up with a way."

Nodding, Zhao Xuanji said, "Well, Zhang brother, I always trust you to do things."

"By the way, I'm planning to send someone to assassinate the Crown Prince."

This stone-shattering statement, following a string of ordinary sentences, was like casual conversation between friends. One moment they were discussing the pleasant weather, and the next, out of the blue came, "I'm going to kill someone for fun."s and perspectives can't be explained unless you understand politics.But Li Chen didn't care.Just like having an identity that has traveled through time, Xu Junlou could get some advantages from havin...
