Book 4: Chapter 65: Grand Blueprint! The True Foundation of Wang's Clan's Prosperity
……
Old Yao, who was serving nearby, sighed quietly.
His Majesty indeed hadn't meddled in the marriages of the younger generation within the clan for centuries, but recently, the Imperial Heir Struggle had intensified, gradually reaching a fever pitch.
This also indicated that a new era was about to begin, and the old era was about to end.
As the "old era" was coming to a close, it was inevitable that His Majesty's mood would be complex and changeable.
The deep alliance between the Zhao Clan and Prince Dexin's lineage, if successful, would greatly consolidate their alliance, creating a significant advantage for them to win the Imperial Heir Struggle.
Strategically, this move was sound, but tactically, it seemed a bit hasty. It overlooked His Majesty's increasingly sensitive mindset and the Chen Clan's high expectations for Little Commandery Princess Xue'ning.
If they were willing to wait for a better opportunity and timing to do this, it might have succeeded, but being so reckless now was clearly a bad move.
In His Majesty's eyes, this represented that the Zhao Clan was eager to pledge allegiance to the "new master," and Prince Dexin's lineage was also eager to pull the Zhao Clan, whom His Majesty relied on, into their fold.
