Wang Shaojing became even more silent. Chang Zhishan was his immediate superior. After the military power was taken away four years ago, Chang Zhishan only held the position of School Affairs Office. Perhaps because of despair, or perhaps because of the loss of Emperor Tang's protection, the school affairs office has declined precipitously. Now every time I see Chang Zhishan, it is just a routine matter. Even this year, Chang Zhishan didn't even come. , so in Wang Shaojing's impression, Chang Zhishan is now just a man waiting to retire. Even if he shocked Feng Yun before, that is all in the past.
Thinking of this, Wang Shao frowned in surprise. He became more and more confused about his uncle's decision.
Seeing his nephew's confused expression, Wang Yanqing smiled and said -
"Uncle left you under Chang Zhishan's command just because he wanted you to keep an eye on this tiger for our family, to determine whether the tiger is really old and weak and is determined to retire, or whether it is just pretending to be taking a nap!"
"Uncle! I -"
Wang Yanqing raised his hand and signaled his nephew not to be anxious. He said slowly: "The school affairs office monitors hundreds of officials and people and spies on the countries in the Central Plains. It is indeed an extremely sharp hidden weapon. I let you stay there for so long. , you have to understand my painstaking efforts——"
"Uncle, what do you mean..."
Wang Shao's eyes lit up in surprise. His uncle had not revealed this meaning to him before, perhaps because he was worried that he was young and energetic and too sharp, or perhaps because Emperor Tang and Chang Zhishan were too sharp, but now he knew this meaning. , he suddenly felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart - how could he not know the capabilities of the school affairs office? If he had such a sharp weapon, it would be even more powerful for his family and himself.
"Before, the time was not yet ripe, so talking was useless, but now it is different. You have to be more attentive."
"Of course my nephew knows!"
"My uncle only trusts you to handle this matter, and only you can handle it. After this matter is completely settled, you can go to other places. Who can stop you then?"
Wang Yanqing patted his nephew's chest with the back of his hand to encourage him.
Wang Shaojing's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he was extremely excited at the moment.
That's right, if the school affairs office is firmly in his hands, it won't be too late for him to work elsewhere! Naturally, he would not hesitate to acquire such a powerful weapon for his family.
Wang Shao looked at his uncle with surprise and confidence. He suddenly discovered that his uncle was much older now, with white hair creeping up on his head and wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. Looking at his elders who had worked so hard for the family, his heart sank. Thinking about everything that had happened in the past six months, he wanted more and more to help his aunt and uncle take control of the situation quickly so as to end the current chaos.
Now that we have motivation, we must combine it with the urgency of the moment. Wang Shaojing quickly responded to the reality and asked: "Uncle, I heard that the Holy Emperor rejected your proposal?"
Wang Yanqing nodded, and at the same time the smile on his face disappeared again.
Wang Shaojing's face became serious. He lowered his voice a lot and asked, "Then we... need our nephew to go south..."
"No need!" Before Wang Shaojing could finish the second half of his sentence, Wang Yanqing gave up his thoughts. Facing his astonished nephew, Wang Yanqing said solemnly and decisively: "Now that you have entered the court as an official, you no longer need to get involved in these matters."
Wang Shaojing swallowed the second half of the sentence, and the shock in his heart instantly turned into emotion. After all, his uncle was his uncle, connected by blood, and what he thought of more often was to protect himself. After realizing his uncle's good intentions, he was quite passionate about fighting for his family. Since his uncle would no longer let him get involved in those things, his thoughts were all on the school affairs office——
Cultivate direct descendants, wait for the opportunity, and then completely control the school affairs office!

In an inconspicuous private house, Yingping was lying on an armchair.
On the side, Yiyi was busy serving tea and fruit plates, but the girl's beautiful eyes drifted towards the young man standing at the door of the room from time to time.
Ye Changshan is now dressed as a guard, with a black jade belt and a long sword in red. Although he is at home, he still looks around alertly and does not dare to neglect at all. Instead, he shows a bit of heroic aura, which is different from his usual simplicity. Honesty looks very different.
This is where Yi Hongyan lives now, and Yiyi also lives here with her father.
Originally, Yingping planned to find a larger house in Dongcheng for his adoptive father and sister to live in, but Yi Hongyan always insisted on living here, saying that he and Yiyi were just two people, and living in a big house seemed empty. Moreover, the neighbors here were already familiar with each other. , there is also a response before and after. Yingping couldn't resist, so he had to agree.
In a few days, the Double Ninth Festival will be held. The Double Ninth Festival is an important festival in the New Tang Dynasty. The palace and the people will hold various celebration ceremonies to thank the emperor and pray for good weather in the coming year. Now that the new laws are in effect, Yingping wants to take this opportunity to hold a grand celebration to declare his merits, so he left the palace today to meet his adoptive father early.
Yi Hongyan walked out of the back room and saw his daughter looking a little absent-minded. He followed her eyes and then couldn't help but shook his head and smiled, thinking that a girl can't stay with her! Yi'er's heart was focused on the young man outside the door. It seemed that the little cotton-padded jacket from home was going to be put on a wedding dress after all.
Thinking of this, Yi Hongyan felt both relieved and a little sad.
On the other side, Yingping's mood was completely different. He looked at Yiyi with disdain, feeling extremely unhappy——
snort! As an elder brother, I haven’t found your sister-in-law yet, but as a younger sister, you... you want to be my sister-in-law! This...this is really ridiculous! God is unfair! It’s really unfair——
After that, Yingping spat out the words Mei He fiercely out the door to express his dissatisfaction with his sister and Ye Changshan.
Yi Hongyan felt the resentment in Ying Ping's heart. Thinking that his adopted son was now getting married at his age, he asked with concern: "Sheng... Ping'er, the matter of establishing a queen... is not mentioned again now?"
Since Yingping entered the palace, Yi Hongyan has changed her name to calling him the Holy Emperor. After all, calling the emperor "son" is really inappropriate and disrespectful to the late emperor. But Yingping didn't accept this trick. Privately, he always insisted that his adoptive father should be called by his original name, because he always believed that he became the emperor for other reasons, rather than really wanting to sit in this seat. He will always be the Yingping who calls him 'adopted father'. In desperation, Yi Hongyan still chooses to call Yingping 'son' when they meet in private.
Yingping turned to look at Yi Hongyan. He shook his head triumphantly and said, "Since the incident with Miss Cui, the old witch has never mentioned this matter again."
Yi Hongyan was dumbfounded. It seemed that the adopted son was still so fearless that he dared to look down on the current Queen Mother like this.
"The Queen Mother is right when she says that a male should get married. If the emperor has no heir, the country will not continue." Yi Hongyan continued to persuade.
"Hey, the old witch and her brother the old thief are probably having a headache about Xinlu. How can they care about me?"
Ying Ping laughed stupidly, as if he was showing off his power. Obviously, he was very satisfied with the recent development of events, and even a little proud.
"Don't underestimate these two brothers and sisters of the Wang family."
Yi Hongyan knew all about the Wang family's methods, so he was naturally worried about Yingping's situation. But faced with the reminder from his adoptive father, Yingping didn't take it seriously and said——
"Wang family, huh! Nothing more than that."
Seeing that Yingping was a little confused, Yi Hongyan persuaded him earnestly: "Wang Yanqing has been in the court for a long time, has senior qualifications and a deep foundation. Besides, his father, Mr. Wang, has always been prestigious. Now he is the uncle of the country, and his sister is the harem." Lord, if you want them to submit, I’m afraid it won’t be that easy.”
"Hmph! If you have any means, just use them, I will take them one by one."
Maybe everything is going too smoothly now, and Yingping has a feeling that nothing is difficult in the world. No matter you are a mountain, a sea, a dragon or a beast, don't you still have to be conquered when you come in front of me?
"Wang Yanqing is cunning and cunning, and the city is very deep. If he unites with officials to impose obstacles, or colludes with traitors to carry out secret tricks, how should you deal with it?"
"At this point, I don't believe he has any ability to mess up Xinlu."
Looking at his adopted son's extremely confident appearance, Yi Hongyan felt that the naughty Yingping of the past was back, and that familiar feeling came again - whenever the adopted son got a little carried away, it was the most likely time for something to happen.
Although Yi Hongyan will not interfere with Yingping's actions now, he is always asking about the situation in the palace. Now that the new laws are being implemented overwhelmingly, he naturally knows it. The weather in various places is changing with each passing day, and he also knows a little bit about it. , but even though everything went so smoothly, he still felt a faint uneasiness. This uneasiness came not from anything else, but from the brother and sister of the Wang family. He had never had direct contact with the brother and sister, but the brother and sister back then He knew exactly how he forced the young lady to death and then stayed out of it.
Are the Wang brothers and sisters really just surrendering and being slaughtered like this?
Yi Hongyan didn't believe it. He wanted to remind Yingping, but he was afraid that his words and deeds would affect his adopted son, thereby missing Mr. Wen's important events and letting down Prime Minister Yin's hard work. Therefore, Yi Hongyan was very entangled and also very worried. in a hurry.
Helpless, Yi Hongyan closed his eyes and shook his head, thinking: Yes, we really need to find a woman so that when Yingping gets carried away, he can be disciplined and disciplined by a friend. But this person cannot be chosen by the Queen Mother, so who should we choose?
Yi Hongyan fell into deep thought, and a personal name appeared in his mind like flipping through a book. But after much thought, I still haven't found the right person...
Um? Isn’t Prime Minister Yin just right? Yin Xiang was a veteran of the three dynasties. He had a wide network of contacts and high popularity in the court. Moreover, the late emperor's great matchmaker was Yin Xiang. If Yin Xiang was asked to come forward to help Ying Ping choose a queen, that would be great! Yin Xiang will definitely choose the most suitable candidate for him based on the current overall situation of Yingping and Datang! Now that Yingping is weak and alone in the court, his marriage is not just about continuing the family line.
Thinking of this, Yi Hongyan became more determined. After Yingping left him, he went to Prime Minister Yin's Mansion and asked in person!
