Almost everyone has forgotten about the school affairs office. People think that this dark and terrifying office that everyone avoids has long lost its former viciousness with the departure of Emperor Tang and Chang Zhishan's loss of power.
However, Wang Yanqing did not forget it, because he knew his old rival deeply. In the past three years, he had always doubted whether this old rival, who had a transcendent status in the New Tang Army, had really become a man of few desires and no longer wanted to interfere. Otherwise, he would not have left his nephew in a government office that had long existed in name only for three years.
Facts have proved that Wang Yanqing's judgment was correct, and Chang Zhishan once again saved the situation. Even though Wang Yanqing had been wary of this for a long time, he finally miscalculated one move - the Emperor of Tang Dynasty ordered Chang Zhi to When Shan established the school affairs office, apart from the 300 civilian guards, there was actually a group of black guards that far outnumbered these 300 people! It was such a cavalry team that was powerful enough to turn the tide and turn the tide. It actually hid Wang Shaojing and the Wang brothers and sisters behind him for three whole years! There is even a small part of them lurking at the foot of the capital that has been controlled by the Wang family.
Wang Yanqing was indeed right, Chang Zhishan was indeed unfathomable!
In fact, Chang Zhishan had already felt the seriousness of the situation, otherwise he would not have ordered Tie Ge to go to Nancheng to gather the killing cavalry. That killing cavalry was formed by him personally, and no one knew about it except Emperor Tang and him, even Tie Ge, otherwise he wouldn't have been filled with surprise and shock after receiving the order.
Nowadays, this situation can no longer wait for both public and private affairs. How could Wang Shaojing's little actions escape his eyes?
Did he really think that he didn't see those Daman strongmen who 'died' inexplicably? He was worried that these Daman dead warriors among the nobles would turn around and target him. After all, he had stood up to support the Holy Lord's new laws and took advantage of this chaos to eliminate himself or his direct descendants. As for the Duke, even if Emperor Tang was sorry for him, he was still the king and he was the minister after all. Moreover, the current Holy One... wasn't the current Holy One the flesh and blood of that woman? It's not that he can't bear to part with his soldiers, but he still has worries - this killing cavalry is his last resort. If this letter is Wang Yanqing's attempt to lure the snake out of its hole, then his reliance will be completely gone!
But now it's fine, there's no need to worry or speculate about anything anymore. Now there should be results from Chengtianmen, whether it is bad or good, the news should come soon...
...
...
In the palace, in the big study room.
Cui Ren and Wang Shaojing stood aside and did not dare to breathe, especially Wang Shaojing. At this time, he lowered his head and turned to one side, with a look of regret in his eyes.
A sigh came from in front of the case, and then Wang Yanqing said in a slightly tired voice: "Master Cui"
"Your Majesty is here——"
"Jingzhao Mansion should arrest these rebels as soon as possible. Don't let any of them go. Those who can be punished will be punished as soon as possible."
"Yes! I'm going to go now!" Cui Ren accepted the order and retreated.
He didn't feel any pressure at this time. He had already prepared the papers and rewards for arresting the 'rebels', and was just waiting for Wang Yanqing's order. He could just give the order at this time. As for the nobles who made the rebellion, I am afraid that their names have already been recorded in the books one by one by this time.
After Cui Ren retired, only the uncle and nephew of the Wang family were left in the big study.
Wang Shaojing stood aside uneasily. Although his uncle did not scold Wang Shaojing, Wang Shaojing wished that his uncle would scold him severely, because 'scold' meant that there was still room for maneuver. But now Wang Yanqing rubbed his eyes, his face looked tired and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry.
Seeing his uncle's appearance, Wang Shao was startled and felt a sudden surge of hatred in his heart! He hates, he hates that this matter is so close to success! He hated how the black cavalry came out so suddenly, not only destroying the nobles' plan to break into the palace, but also the dead soldiers he had worked so hard to train were either killed or maimed in this 'clearance operation'! He hated himself even more for not having a good understanding of this 'boss'. He had been by his side for three years without even noticing the existence of such a killing cavalry, so that at this time, his success was on the verge of failure...
"You don't have to stay in the school affairs office any longer."
Wang Yanqing suddenly spoke, his tone was very calm, and there was no hint of blame.
Wang Shao was shocked and wanted to speak, but he couldn't say a thousand words to his lips, so he had to swallow these words silently and choose to remain silent.
Wang Yanqing still had his eyes closed. After receiving no answer for a while, he opened his eyes in confusion. Wang Shaojing was still seen with his head lowered, as if he looked ashamed. Seeing his nephew's appearance, Wang Yanqing not only wasn't angry, he didn't even have a hint of sullenness. Instead, he showed a slight smile and said, "What's wrong?"
Hearing his uncle's question, Wang Shao was shocked and his chest heaved, and he said: "My nephew, what happened! He didn't find hundreds of black-clad guards hiding in the city! As a result -"
"Huh -" Wang Yanqing waved his hand to interrupt his nephew's confession, and said nonchalantly: "You were not the only one who was deceived by Chang Zhishan? Wasn't my uncle also deceived by him?"
"But my nephew works in the school affairs office. Not only did he not find these hundreds of black guards, but...even the cavalry of the black guards..." There was no trace of such a murderous cavalry around him. Before he heard it, Wang Shaojing had already taken the blame for this mistake on himself.
"My uncle thought too simply... The school affairs office has never left the hands of Chang Zhishan..." Wang Yanqing thought of the man who always stood at the head of the queue when he went to court. The burly figure shook his head and said: "This is my fault... This is my fault..."
"It's just that little step away - my nephew thinks it's such a pity!"
Seeing his nephew's heartbroken look, Wang Yanqing smiled even more in his eyes and said: "Haha, failure is not terrible, but I am afraid of making the same mistake again next time. What's more, we have achieved our goal this time, so why is it a pity? explain?"
Seeing my uncle's smiling face at this moment, I felt very puzzled.
My uncle has been frowning for the past few days, but this is the first time he smiles like this today. Moreover, it seems that he is not comforting himself, but really feels relaxed and laughs from the bottom of his heart.
"But Wen Junchen still..." Wang Shaojing emphasized reluctantly.
"Do you think Wen Junchen will have a good ending after all this chaos?" Wang Yanqing smiled profoundly, a light shot out of his eyes, and he continued: "You don't have to worry about Wen Junchen, uncle has his own solution."
Hearing what Wang Yanqing said, Wang Shaojing stopped asking questions. He believed that since his uncle already knew everything, there must be nothing wrong. After some persuasion from his uncle, his depression eased a little, but remembering his uncle's gloomy look just now, he still felt that his uncle still had something on his mind.
"Uncle, since you are very sure of Wen Junchen's side, why did you still look sad and depressed just now?"
A solemn expression once again appeared on Wang Yanqing's face. Thinking of the doubt that had troubled him just now, he said as if talking to himself: "Someone leaked the secret."
"What?" Wang Shao was shocked and couldn't believe his ears.
"Our plan is so careful that it shouldn't be like this, but..." Wang Yanqing's voice was not loud, and he did not look at Wang Shaojing. It seemed that he was still talking to himself at this moment, "But my intuition tells me, Someone among us leaked the secret."
Wang Shao was speechless. He looked at his uncle in surprise and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Those nobles broke into the palace at the right time, but at the moment when they broke into the palace, the black-clothed guards rushed to kill them, and they arrived at the right time... If it was a coincidence, it would be too much... "
The more Wang Shaojing heard, the more shocked he became. It turned out that what his uncle was struggling with just now was not the suppression of the rebellion by the black guards this morning, but this matter!
"If there is such a person, then this is the second time."
Wang Shao was startled and immediately remembered the case where Pan Jiachang was tried last time.
Is there really someone sneaking into the house? Wang Shaojing suddenly felt that he could not feel at ease even in his own home.
Facts have proved that Wang Yanqing's feeling was not wrong. There was indeed a 'traitor' among them. The anonymous letters received by Yin Jingting and Chang Zhishan were the best evidence. But even though Wang Yanqing, Chang Zhishan, and Yin Jingting know that there is indeed this person, they don't know who this person is. I'm afraid the only person in the world who knows this person's true identity is himself, right?
"It only takes three, if next time, hum——"
Wang Yanqing's eyes gradually turned gloomy. At this moment, he wished he could immediately pull out this man's skin and cramps.
Indeed, there is no reason to blame him for being suspicious. Now that he is in a high and powerful position, with hundreds of officials behind him, and the emperor in front of him, how can a person not be cautious when walking in the court? Now that things happened by such a coincidence, how could he not be suspicious? But there is no need to worry about these for the time being. Now that the goal has been achieved, the more important thing now is not outside the court, but inside the court——
Then it was his turn to come on the scene and clean up the mess with his own hands.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Chang'an restored its former order. However, what is different from the past is that Chang'an seems to be particularly silent at this time. Even the neighbor's uncle who originally liked to gossip about Zhang's family and Li's shortcomings obediently kept his mouth shut and sat honestly in his courtyard. No way out.
The Jingzhao Mansion was also vigorously hunting down gangsters everywhere. It didn't take long for all those who escaped to be arrested and brought to justice.
Today, all the officials have gathered in the main hall to wait for the emperor to go to court. The atmosphere in the main hall is a bit strange. Although all the officials are silent, the expressions of watching the excitement can be seen on everyone's faces.
Half an hour passed, and whispers gradually began to sound in the hall. Yin Jingting closed his eyes and felt everything around him. At this time, he sat on a chair and waited for Yingping's arrival. When Emperor Tang was on the throne, he was given the opportunity to sit in court, but he considered himself to be quite strong, so he never had this privilege. But after all the twists and turns, his old legs and waist were a little too much to bear. Today I walked to the main hall with a cane and the support of my youngest son. After sitting down, I closed my eyes and continued to rest, ignoring anyone who came up to say hello. At this time, seeing that Yingping had not come to court for a long time, Yin Jingting walked out of the palace with his crutches and walked into the palace.
...
After experiencing this rebellion, Yingping was still a little shaken. Originally, he wanted to stop the imperial court for a day, but Wen Junchen said bluntly: At this time, the emperor's majesty and magnanimity cannot be lost. He is just a "dandy" with no climate. Back then, the late emperor faced dozens of six kings. The genuine rebels are calm and able to deal with changes easily. If they can't handle such a 'small scene' today, then why not let the world and the Wang family laugh?
So Yingping adopted Wen Junchen's suggestion in a daze.
Coincidentally, just when Yingping was about to go to meet the ministers, Yin Jingting's trembling figure appeared outside the study. Thinking of what this old man did and everything he experienced yesterday, Yingping was filled with emotion and moved forward to greet him excitedly. But before Yingping could speak, Yin Jingting said with great respect: "Please come to court, please!"
Yingping was stunned. Although Yin Jingting had been strict with him over the years, he had always been sincere and sincere, and his words were mainly based on good words and persuasion. But at this moment, Yin Jingting's words were full of seriousness, as if they contained a meaning that could not be refuted, leaving Yingping a little at a loss.
"All the officials are waiting in the main hall! Please come to court!" Yin Jingting raised his voice a few degrees and his tone became a little more serious.
Yingping was already a little confused, but when he saw Yin Jingting acting like this, he suddenly felt panicked for no reason.
"Your Majesty - don't keep the ministers waiting for too long." Seeing that Yingping was a little overwhelmed, Wen Junchen came out and reminded him.
"Ah? Oh, okay, I'll go right away." After all, Wen Junchen is his master who has been with him day and night for several years. No matter how miserable he was when he secretly practiced the Breath of Heaven and Earth and went down the mountain privately, he was still his master.
After hearing Wen Junchen remind him, Yingping also reacted immediately.
"Prime Minister Yin" Wen Junchen looked at Yin Jingting who was holding a cane and bowed devoutly.
He was grateful to Prime Minister Yin from the bottom of his heart. Not to mention that without Yin Jingting, the implementation of the new laws would have been impossible, but he was deeply grateful for Yin Jingting's devotion to Yingping. Today's bow is not just because of yesterday's actions, but all Yin Jingting's actions over the years.
Yin Jingting looked at Wen Junchen, who had been looking quite haggard these days, and his stern eyes softened a little. He did not respond to Wen Junchen, but just looked at him silently.
He naturally deserves Wen Junchen's bow, but the reason why he is standing there to accept this gift is not because of this, but because in his eyes Wen Junchen has also endured something that he should not have endured - in the past, There is now, and even in the near future, this 'stuff' going to be even heavier.
Thinking of this, Yin Jingting, who was well aware of the dangers of the court, felt a little complicated. He gave Wen Junchen a meaningful look but still didn't speak. After a long sigh, he left Wen Junchen who was still bowing and followed Yingping's footsteps to leave the study.
