While the Changsun family was busy trying to find ways to deal with the Chu Prince's Mansion, Wu Meiniang was not idle either.

Taking advantage of the Spring Festival New Year greetings, Xu Jingzong and Ma Zhou went to ask Wu Meiniang for some suggestions for the next step.

"Empress, the prince proposed the imperial examination reform this time, which is actually very low for the Changsun Party's party, and at least it may not have any effect in a short period of time.

Since Changsun Wuji dared to do such a thing back then, there is no need to be so polite when we take revenge."

Xu Jingzong has always been a more thoughtful person.

In recent years, taking advantage of the opportunity of joining the Chu Palace, he has achieved his goal of making a name for himself.

Although the Ministry of Education is not a major department, after the imperial court's institutional reform, it was nominally equal to other departments.

Just like the women's federation chairmen and trade union chairmen in later generations, don't look down on others, their level must be not low.

It is actually not easy for an ordinary person to be able to get to that level in his life.

Of course, the women's federation and trade unions here do not refer to the village.

"What Yan clan said makes sense. When it comes to the position of crown prince, it must be a life-and-death struggle, and there is no need tolerate any carelessness.

The prince is just too kind and is always unwilling to do something that makes His Majesty sad.

But if we just drag it down and let others take action first and then consider the countermeasures, it will be easy to be led by others.

This should not be the situation we all hope to see, nor is it the situation His Highness the King of Chu himself hopes to see."

After Ma Zhou discussed with Xu Jingzong before, his views had basically reached an agreement.

Now I just want to find support in the palace.

Obviously, Wu Meiniang should be considered a very suitable supporter.

After all, she is responsible for many things and many personnel in the Chu Palace.

She also hopes that Li Kuan will become the winner of this battle for crown prince.

"You are right, but when His Majesty ascended the throne, he experienced the Xuanwu Gate Change.

So he has always been very sensitive, disgusted, and even very scared about brothers' struggles.

But before, Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and that Li You have done a lot of things.

Now the prince should have guessed that His Majesty did not want to see him in a head-on conflict with His Royal Highness, so he has not taken any further action."

I have to say that Wu Meiniang actually knows Li Kuan very well.

Relying on the golden finger, Li Kuan has an extraordinary level in poetry and various novel techniques.

But some things are actually difficult to change, that is personality.

With the personality traits of Li Kuan's later generations, it is actually very difficult to achieve great things in feudal society.

Although Li Kuan himself realized this and was constantly making changes.

But some things can't be changed so simply.

It can even be said that some personalities cannot be changed in their entire lives.

Otherwise, how could there be the saying that character determines destiny?

Obviously, in dealing with the princelings and the Changsun Party, Wu Meiniang felt that Li Kuan's approach was relatively too weak.

He is obviously capable of fighting against others head-on, but he often gets angry.

"The concubine, because of this, we should help the prince to make up for the missing.

Changsun Wuji is definitely a treacherous minister with a lot of thought. We want to deal with them honestly, but it is not that easy.

Now Ma Zhou has control over all the police departments of the Tang Dynasty. Even if we do not use the power of the Intelligence Investigation Bureau of the King of Chu Palace, we can do a lot of things.

No matter how bad we are, we must let the Changsun Party and the Prince's Party know that we are not that easy to mess with, so that they should not think about using despicable means to deal with us."

Xu Jingzong had already clearly felt some constraints in the court.

As the most powerful political group in the Tang Dynasty, once the Changsun Party began to deal with the Chu Palace, Xu Jingzong, and Ma Zhou, those who were officials in the court, could feel the impact.

Otherwise, he would not have been so active in joining Ma Zhou, hoping to further promote Li Kuan to make up his mind to deal with the Changsun Party and the Prince's Party.

He clearly has the strength to compete for the crown prince, why should he give up?

"It is true. The Changsun Party has many wings. We can start from some places where the position is not so high but is more critical.

At that time, we can get rid of a group of people first, and we can even start with some of the disciples of the Changsun family and slowly weaken their strength."

Ma Zhou is not the kind of person who likes to engage in conspiracy.

But if you are an official in the court, if you don’t know how to conspire and trick, you will not be able to survive.

Maybe it will fall into the pit that someone else dug for you at any time.

"These things often affect the whole body. We either don't have to do anything, or use thunder to give Changsun Party and the princelings a ruthless move.

If you make small fuss, it will easily arouse the other party's vigilance, and it will be difficult to do it in the future."

Wu Meiniang thought for a while and gave her own suggestions.

She has never had any good feelings for Changsun Wuji.

Not to mention that he had lost Li Kuan's position as the eldest son under his own operation.

Now the national strength of the Tang Dynasty is booming, and no matter who is in that position, he is destined to become an emperor who has been famous throughout the ages.

Although the position of the queen should have nothing to do with her, a concubine is definitely stable.

"Actually, if I want to be ruthless, I think I can first point the finger at Gao Shilian. As the Minister of Personnel, his existence has a very big impact on our development.

On the contrary, Changsun Wuji, we can follow the prince's pace and start later."

Ma Zhou also put forward his own specific suggestions.

Although after the reform of the imperial court, the six ministries had become eighteen ministries.

However, the position of the Ministry of Personnel as the leader is unshakable.

Just like in later generations, the authority of the Organization Department is definitely not something other departments can shake at will.

"Gao Shilian is not young anymore. In fact, there is a very simple and crude, but very effective way to deal with him."

Xu Jingzong sneered and immediately came up with a good idea.

As for whether this idea was insidious and whether it would make people feel disgusted, he didn't care at all.

As long as you can achieve the goal of fighting Gao Shilian, this is a good idea.

Sure enough, both Wu Meiniang and Ma Zhou looked at Xu Jingzong with great anticipation, wanting to hear what kind of plan he would say.
