After such turmoil, the ministers became even more obedient, and the royal household itself no longer needed to work so strenuously.
Hmm, it seems that this indeed was a good strategy, and probably the only possible one.
However, once the ministers saw through this strategy, that would be another matter altogether.
These senior officials began to ponder, since the royal household could not possibly handle all state affairs personally and the ministers are not truly dispensable, perhaps we only need to make a superficial effort?
There was no need to be intimidated by the royal household and hand over all of our core interests, right?
Having realized this, the officials all breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Zhang Jingbang, who had pointed this out.
"Prime Minister Zhang indeed has penetrating insight! Listening to your words is better than reading books for ten years!"
"The Prime Minister is bound to have his comeback, this official eagerly awaits it!"
