After retreating from the court, Wang Yanqing walked straight to the Li Zheng Hall without saying a word.
The Queen Mother came to the hall early to wait, because she also knew what was discussed in the court today, and she also knew the importance of what was discussed in the court today.
Wang Yanqing came to the palace gate and walked in without waiting for the palace maid to come in and announce. When he stepped into the palace gate and saw the Queen Mother sitting in the hall waiting for him, his steps stopped.
When the Queen Mother saw her brother paused at the door and refused to come in, she had a bad feeling in her heart. She stood up, changing her usual graceful demeanor, with a hint of worry in her brows.
Wang Yanqing shook his head when he saw the Queen Mother's questioning gaze, and then slowly walked into the hall with his head lowered.
The Queen Mother slightly winked at the maids on both sides, and the maids wisely withdrew and closed the palace door tightly.
"How to say?"
After the palace door was closed, the Queen Mother eagerly asked. Although she had already guessed the result based on her brother's actions and demeanor, she still held a glimmer of hope in her heart.
"The new law...will be implemented"
Wang Yanqing spoke out these words with difficulty. Although he had always felt that even if it was implemented, it would not be smooth sailing and would even be blocked everywhere, but now that the government had passed it, he still felt pressure in his heart because he understood deeply that this The power of the law.
"What!?" The Queen Mother still felt a little unbelievable and said in surprise: "Is it really passed? It's useless for so many of us to oppose it?"
"It's just a small difference..." Wang Yanqing said to himself.
Thinking back to when the opposition came like a tide just now, he could have stood up and put an end to it all, but... Wang Yanqing couldn't help but regret it when he thought of this.
Recalling what happened in the court just now, Wang Yanqing fell into deep thought again. He spoke softly again, as if talking to himself: "Chang Zhishan actually expressed his agreement..."
"Chang Zhishan? He——" The Queen Mother was also new and a little hard to understand.
"Chang Zhishan had a few quarrels with the Holy One over the new laws, and the words were so fierce that they almost broke up. Moreover, Chang Zhishan had openly opposed the Holy One's early pro-government... both in public and private matters. , he has no reason to agree with this matter..."
"Could it be that we are just doing this as a favor after seeing the general trend? After all, the relationship with the Holy Emperor will eventually be eased."
"Impossible. If he hadn't stood up, how could Gongsun Cuo follow suit?"
"Gongsun Cuo?"
"Humph, this damn fat guy is just afraid that Chang Zhishan will be favored because of this matter. Before Chang Zhishan finished speaking, he immediately expressed his stance, as if he was afraid that he would not be able to make the trip. Hum! Three of the four ministers who care about life have expressed their stance. , forcing me to agree even though I don’t want to.”
"It seems that this illegitimate child has some abilities. You and I can't underestimate him."
Wang Yanqing nodded in affirmation.
Indeed, his brother and sister never thought that Yingping would reverse the situation and catch him off guard, although Chang Zhishan and Gongsun Cuo were also beyond his expectation. Originally, in his plan, the opposition was gathered in the court today, and when the voices got louder, he would step forward amidst the numerous calls, comply with the wishes of the officials, and give Yingping some face by acting as an intermediary proposal. The new law will be discussed after a period of time when the time is ripe. If the matter is mentioned again, he will delay it again. This goes back and forth. Even if the new law is implemented, he can order others to do something to obstruct it. In the end Nine times out of ten, nothing will happen. But now the situation has become a situation where all the officials are talking about it and are looking forward to it, as if this is a good thing that conforms to God's will and is expected by everyone. The raw rice has been cooked into cooked rice inexplicably, which makes him extremely depressed——
All of this is 'thanks' to Yingping's touching speech. If nothing else, it is indeed quite inspiring.
Seeing her brother's solemn expression, the Queen Mother felt a little worried and asked, "Is this new law really so powerful?"
Wang Yanqing recalled every word in the new law and couldn't help but sneer in his heart - when he saw the new law for the first time, he knew clearly that it was aimed at his faction. But even if he knew the profound meaning, he had to admit that this new law written by Wen Junchen was indeed an unprecedented masterpiece. If it was really effective, it would definitely bring the Tang Dynasty back to its former glory.
What a pity, what a pity...the price is too high!
This will require the sacrifice of the Wang family, and even Chang Zhishan and Gongsun Cuo are not immune to the influence of this new law. It can be said that Yingping's move is almost to uproot the old forces, and he is naturally unwilling to pay such a price. However, after this incident, he re-examined Yingping and those people behind him——
Wen Junchen, this Confucian scholar does have some abilities.
If the Tang Dynasty is an ancient tree, then the New Law is like a sharp axe. It can not only cut down the branches attached to the big tree of the Tang Dynasty that have grown so long that they are crushing the branches. It also allows new branches and buds to receive sunlight and rain and thrive.
I have to say, this move is indeed a high one.
Wang Yanqing said slowly: "The new law first became a rope to bind our hands and feet, then it turned into a knife, cutting off our hands and feet, and finally turned into a sharp sword, piercing our hearts. Once the dissidents have been eradicated, we will Waiting can only...can only become a stepping stone for him to reach the peak of power."
"It seems that this new law is really aimed at us."
"Yes, and the popular voice for the implementation of the new law will definitely be high." Wang Yanqing saw the key point of the new law in one sentence. He continued to explain: "Everyone can become a marquis and prime minister through military exploits, and the big family will be affected at the same time. The new law firm system is tantamount to sharing our interests with the people."
The Queen Mother nodded, affirming her brother's analysis.
"I underestimated that Wen Junchen. Originally he was just a poor scholar, just like those rotten Confucian scholars in Taiyuan University. I didn't expect him to be so sharp."
"Wen Junchen was originally from a peasant family. Later, he traveled around the world while studying. He went to the palace of the generals of the Wei Dynasty, experienced the sufferings of the people, and finally worshiped in a poor family. This person is indeed not a simple person." The Queen Mother re-examined Wen Junchen, and she felt the same This person is not simple. Then, she asked: "Then what are you going to do next?"
Wang Yanqing stared at the ground and said in a deep voice: "The only strategy now is to take advantage of the trend first, and we should remain unchanged in response to changes. If we want to completely solve this matter, the key is not the Holy One."
"Wen Junchen?"
"Well, there's also Eun Sang."
When Yin Jingting was mentioned, Wang Yanqing felt helpless and entangled in his heart. He naturally knew that Yin Jingting had strong support in this matter. When he entered the court as an official, he followed Yin Jingting. Although his father was also an important minister in the court, this old man always regarded him as his own son. Moreover, his sister married into the palace so that she could be the mother of the world. This was the Yin Xiang said the matchmaker. He didn't want to be an enemy of Yin Jingting. Originally, if the matter had been left unsolved or after Yin Jingting retired, he might have taken more drastic measures to stop it, but now the boss is still in charge of the overall situation in the court, so he can't.
Wang Yanqing sighed and continued: "The key to this matter is that 50% lies in the emperor and his ministers, and 50% lies in the kindness. The two complement each other and are indispensable."
"What if one person is missing?"
"There's a good chance the new law won't work."
The Queen Mother's beautiful eyes turned cold and she whispered: "Then...the line of Yunyue Pavilion..."
Wang Yanqing was startled, and then he quickly understood what the Queen Mother meant and said, "You mean..."
"in case for need."
Wang Yanqing weighed it up, then nodded and said: "It is a solution, but it is a last resort. You should never resort to this strategy!"
"Don't be afraid of ten thousand——"
Before the Queen Mother could finish her words, Wang Yanqing echoed, "Just in case!"
The brother and sister looked at each other and nodded. There are some words that don't need to be explained, just stop talking.

South Korea, Xinzheng, Yunyue Pavilion.
There is no longer the peaceful scene of singing and dancing in Fengtian Lin in the past. The curtains hang down quietly, and there is no movement inside. The person lying inside seems to be sleeping.
Outside the curtain, Wan Yun was standing aside quietly, waiting for the order issued by the man in the curtain.
Three years ago, Wan Yun will never forget the moment when Mr. Wen He brought the master of the pavilion back to Feng Tianlin. At that time, Mr. Wen He dismissed everyone in Yunyue Pavilion and Feng Tianlin. Originally, Wan Yun was also going to be kicked out, but The master of the pavilion signaled him to stay. The Pavilion Master was placed on the bed by Young Master Wen He. Wan Yun was shocked by the scene in front of her. The Pavilion Master's pale and weak face looked completely different from when she left Yunyue Pavilion. Especially the wound on her abdomen, which was as black as a bowl. big. Wan Yun trembled and raised her head to take a closer look, only to find a wound as thick as two fingers.
who is it! ? Who has the ability to hurt the Pavilion Master like this!
Ever since she was taken in by the Pavilion Master, she has shown that the Pavilion Master is her God, and she feels very satisfied and secure in being able to stay with the Pavilion Master and serve him. Wan Yun was extremely anxious. Young Master Wen He called in countless doctors and doctors from the pavilion. After seeing the injury of the pavilion master, they all shook their heads until finally even Young Master Wen He felt helpless.
Seeing that the Pavilion Master's breath was getting weaker day by day, the skin around the wound had withered, and the once beautiful face had turned into that of an old woman in just a few days. Just when Wen He was about to give up, someone suddenly sent a prescription. Wen and Young Master were a little hesitant after seeing it, because the prescription was not signed, but judging from Juanxiu's handwriting, it should be a woman.
Young Master Wen He was struggling with the medicine. Wan Yun had been dressing up for the past few days by the pavilion master's side and did not dare to leave. Seeing Young Master Wen He's expression of hesitation, she secretly took away the bottle of medicine while she was not paying attention and poured it out first. He took a pill, and when he still had no reaction after twelve hours, he told Mr. Wen He that he had taken the medicine. After hearing this, Young Master Wenhe looked at Wan Yun with strange eyes, and then looked at the medicine bottle in disbelief. Finally, he hurriedly put the pills into the mouth of the pavilion master and asked someone to brew the medicine according to the prescription. A miracle happened. The pavilion master who was originally dying gradually regained his vitality after taking pills continuously. Although he was still extremely weak, his life was finally saved.
From then on, only Wen He and Wan Yun were left in Fengtian Linzhong to serve the pavilion master, and no one else.
Wan Yun looked quietly at Young Master Wen He who was reading the reports from all sides in the Central Plains. Over the years, Young Master Wen He had taken care of all the affairs in the pavilion. The master of the pavilion just nodded. In Wan Yun's eyes, this young woman is simply omnipotent. She can fight heroes with a sword, and can control all directions with a pen. I'm afraid there aren't many men in the world who can be better than this woman, right?
Mr. Wen He was looking intently at the letter in his hand. Wan Yun looked at her handsome face and was slightly confused - how great would it be if Mr. Wen He were really a man? It wouldn't be a bad idea to stay with him in this Fengtian Lin for the rest of his life.
As if sensing Wan Yun's gaze, Wen and Master tilted their heads slightly, and the two women's eyes met.
Wan Yun was a little overwhelmed by the sudden situation, and a trace of panic appeared on her face. Perhaps because seeing Wan Yun's panicked look was cute, Young Master Wen He suddenly felt naughty and smiled brightly at Wan Yun——
The boiling light is as bright as the night sky, and the red lips are as moist as jade beads and as clean and elegant.
A young lady who has not yet left the palace has never seen such a handsome and bright smile. For a moment, her cheeks were as red as the sunset, as if she had drank some wine.
Seeing Wan Yun's embarrassed and shy look, Mr. Wen He stopped joking with her and shook the letter in his hand to continue reading.
Perhaps it was the rustling sound of letter paper that woke up the pavilion master. Suddenly there was some movement inside the curtain, and then, an old and weak voice came out.
"Datang...how is the situation...?"
Young Master Wenhe walked to the Luo curtain with the letter and respectfully handed the letter into the curtain.
Over the years, the Pavilion Master has not wanted others to see his appearance, and even Young Master Wen He has had difficulty seeing the Pavilion Master's face. Perhaps except for Wan Yun, no one has clearly seen the Pavilion Master's true face. That's right, the pavilion master had a good posture when he was still cultivating. The strong Tianshu used a steady stream of the breath of heaven and earth to stay young forever, but the battle in the shabby room pierced the belly with an arrow, and the cultivation level is now unknown. No matter how much it is dispersed, the remaining breath of heaven and earth can barely sustain a breath, and naturally the appearance can't be taken care of so much.
"The new laws of the Tang Dynasty...will be implemented."
Mr. Wen He lowered his head and tried not to peek into the curtain. She knew the master of the pavilion, so as long as the master did not lift the curtain, she would not look directly at the master.
"Oh? Haha... It seems... that illegitimate child... has some... abilities..."
The Pavilion Master seemed to be in a better state of mind, and she was a little surprised by what was going to happen in Datang.
"I think Mr. Wenjun and Chenwen are somewhat capable."
"Hmph... Wen Junchen is Chen Laoba's beloved disciple... He naturally has a lot of abilities..." The pavilion master was still full of resentment when he mentioned Mr. Afterwards, the pavilion master still did not forget about the Northern Wei Dynasty and asked: "What is my good sister doing?"
"There is no movement from Dawei's side."
There was silence for a moment, and then there was a burst of laughter, but this laughter seemed to be out of breath, and the laughter was a bit laborious.
"Sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight and then reap the benefits... My good sister... is really scheming..." After the laughter, there were several coughs. After the coughs subsided, the pavilion master asked again : "Where are the Wang brothers and sisters?"
"There has been no movement yet." Young Master Wenhe paused for a moment, and then said with some confidence: "Maybe it won't be long before...the Wang family will make some moves."
"Oh?" The tone of the pavilion master's voice rose a little higher.
"I think we need to make preparations for the Wang family in advance..."
"Master...are you so sure?"
"So sure!"
"Then...it's up to Mr. Lao to make the selection..." Luo Guannei fell into silence again. After the conversation just now, the pavilion master seemed to have spent a lot of energy.
"Son..."
After a while, the Pavilion Master's energy seemed to have been somewhat restored, and she spoke again.
"Does the Pavilion Master have anything else to say?"
"Is there any news about Mr. Fourth's identity?"
The tone of the Pavilion Master suddenly became expectant, as if this was the only thing that could arouse her interest. Under such heavy losses, the Pavilion Master's energy is getting worse year by year, and even she herself doesn't know when she will die. Now she is no longer as concerned about the general trend of the world as she was before. The mysterious fourth gentleman's Identity is one of the few things that arouses her curiosity.
"Mr. Four...hiding it too deeply..."
Mr. Wen He lowered his head and replied, seeming to feel guilty for failing to live up to the expectations of the Pavilion Master. Over the years, the master of the pavilion asked her several times to find out the whereabouts and clues of this fourth gentleman, but she always returned without success.
"Young Master, don't blame yourself, it's just that I'm curious..." Sensing Young Master Wen He's emotions, the Pavilion Master comforted him: "It would be a pity to leave with such regrets... "
Silence fell inside and outside Luo Gu.
Indeed, Yunyue Pavilion claims to have all the secrets in the world, but it has been unable to get clues about the fourth gentleman. This fourth gentleman is really intriguing. Since the death of Mr. Zhan in the Cottage, the identity of the seven sons of the poor family has gradually been revealed to the world in his place. But what makes people all over the world curious is why the mysterious Mr. Fourth is nowhere to be seen. Not even a hint of rumors was heard. Therefore, even people who stood at the top of the Central Plains, such as the female prime minister of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the master of Yunyue Pavilion, were wary and curious about Mr. Fourth's identity.
The gentleman is really profound. He has left such a big mystery to everyone in the world, making it difficult for everyone to understand and guess. It makes people feel uncomfortable. Some gambling houses even offer bets for gamblers to guess the identity of this fourth gentleman. , which shows how intense the discussion is about the identity of this fourth gentleman.
"Young master, go ahead, I am exhausted..." The voice of the master of the pavilion returned to the soft tone before.
Mr. Wenhe nodded towards Luo Guannei, then turned and walked downstairs.
At this time, only Wan Yun was left in Feng Tianlin. She stared blankly at the retreating figure of Mr. Wen He, but she was confused about what 'preparations' and 'selections' were, what kind of new laws Datang was enacting , who should we choose? What Mr. Fourth from a poor family? Wan Yun was so confused that she couldn't understand the profound meaning of the conversation for a long time.
