But as long as Zhenbao does not act rashly, opts to restrain his thunderous fury, or unleashes it upon the Shen family without pursuing others... In doing so, it would stabilize Li Yanfu and achieve a division within the Li Party, thereby weakening it...
Zhao Douan thought more, and his mind became clearer.
He suddenly remembered that conversation with the Old Director.
Sun Lianying had told him that Zhenbao was using the "New Policies" to court and divide the scholarly family of the Great Yu Dynasty.
At that time, Zhao Douan listened with only half an ear and did not take it to heart, but now, looking back, wasn't it precisely some kind of hint?
Prince Jing placed a piece on the chessboard, trying to provoke the Empress into anger and strike at the Li Party.
The more the Li Party was attacked, the more united they would become. Coupled with Mr. Shen's cajoling, they might gradually lean towards Prince Jing.
