Harem.

"The dust finally settled."

Yang was breathing a sigh of relief. During this period, she was also very busy because she was the bond between the inner court and the outer court, and many of Wu Meiniang's instructions were conveyed by her.

Wu Meiniang took a sip of hot tea and put down the teacup. Feng Qingyun said calmly: "Mom, this matter is not settled yet. So isn't Changsun Wuji still alive?"

Yang was stunned and said, "But Your Majesty does not seem to have the intention to kill Changsun Wuji."

Wu Meiniang smiled and said, "Didn't I tell my mother before? Of course, Your Majesty cannot kill Changsun Wuji."

Yang suddenly remembered and hurriedly said, "By the way, you said you have a solution, but I don't know what to do?"

Wu Meiniang narrowed her eyes and said, "Soldiers can be killed but not humiliated."

Yang pondered and said, "Can a soldier be killed or not be humiliated?"

Wu Meiniang nodded and said confidently: "Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang and others are still very proud at heart. Besides, they are not young and cannot live for a few years, so they will never choose to endure humiliation for the remaining years. As long as we send someone to humiliate them, they will definitely break themselves up, and no one needs to do it."

The implication is to force these elders to death. Wu Meiniang knew that Li Zhi would not issue an order to kill his uncle, which had a great impact on the emperor's reputation. If the emperor did not issue this order, he could not kill him, so he could only force them to death. It can be seen that this is the most toxic woman's heart. The ancients often said that a soldier could be killed but not humiliated, but Wu Meiniang was a woman, so she didn't care what you could be killed or humiliated. In her political philosophy, those who obey me would prosper, and those who defy me would perish, and use all means to achieve their goals.

But Yang was a little suspicious, could this really work? But when he saw Wu Meiniang being confident, he believed it. Suddenly he thought of something again, and said, "Oh, by the way, daughter, you are really right. I heard Yuan Gongyu say that Xu Jingzong scolded him hard because of Xiao Jun, saying that because he encouraged Xu Jingzong to add Xiao Jun to the list, which made His Majesty very unhappy, and he also pardoned Zhao Chiman and others for this."

Wu Meiniang frowned and said, "The Zhao Chiman incident was not because of Xiao Jun, but Han Yi had gone to His Majesty to plead with him that day."

Yang said in surprise: "Is that true?"

Wu Meiniang nodded and said, "Not only that, Your Majesty has not even discussed this matter with me, so he asked the Secretariat to draft an imperial edict."

Yang said: "I didn't expect Han Yi to have such a high status in His Majesty's heart."

"I've known this a long time ago."

Wu Meiniang sighed lightly and said, "It's just that Han Yi's intention is what he is doing, and my daughter has never figured it out."

Yang said: "Yes! Han Yi has protected so many people, what's the point? It's not helpful to Changsun Wuji."

Wu Meiniang nodded and said, "If I hadn't known in advance that Han Yi had met Changsun Wuji secretly, I'm afraid I would have disregarded this."

Yang frowned and said, "Did we really misunderstand Han Yi?"

Wu Meiniang shook her head and said, "I thought so at first, but after thinking carefully, I felt that this matter was not that simple. I knew Han Yi's methods too much. Everything he did seemed insignificant, and a small thing was not enough to attract attention. However, it had far-reaching significance and was closely related to his next move. He also helped me become the queen in the beginning. Therefore, the smaller the impact of this matter, we should pay more attention to it."

Han Yi has been with her all the way along the way, and she once reached the point where she could talk about everything. She had a little understanding in many aspects. This is why Wu Meiniang liked it very much, because many of the two of them had similar ideas and a tacit understanding. At the same time, both sides knew each other very well.

Yang thought, "I have heard that he has protected those people. They are all young officials, about the same age as him, but at his age, they can become the Minister of the Shang Dynasty and have real power. Only Han Yi is the only one. Those people are just small characters and cannot become a climate."

“As similar in age?”

Wu Meiniang suddenly frowned, and these four words were repeated in her mouth.

Yang said curiously: "What?"

"Ah!" Wu Meiniang suddenly opened her eyes and said, "I understand, I finally understand."

Yang looked at her with a confused look on his face.

Wu Meiniang said: "We have always focused on Han Yi and Changsun Wuji, so we can't see through it. In fact, their purpose is not to protect Changsun Wuji, but to give up Changsun Wuji."

Yang said in surprise: "Give up Changsun Wuji?"

Wu Meiniang nodded and said, "Changsun Wuji has an irreparable barrier with Your Majesty. If we fight with Changsun Wuji as the center, Your Majesty will definitely be biased towards us, and Your Majesty has no choice. However, Han Yi has a very high position in Your Majesty's heart, and there is no gap between the monarch and the ministers. Therefore, if Han Yi is the center, Your Majesty will not easily bias towards either side.

Han Yi's biggest advantage is that he is still very young, so he retains some young and talented officials. Now these officials are not worth worrying about, but ten years later, are these officials still just small roles? It's hard to say that they will grow up with His Majesty. What's more terrifying is that ten years later, Han Yi is not yet in his forties. It's the peak period of a man, and Xu Jingzong and the others may not be able to stand ten years later. It's like this, it must be like this. This conspiracy is too in line with the character of the two of them."

Changsun Wuji is scheming, but Han Yi is just a deviant move. This plan also includes these two elements.

Thinking of this, some sweat beads oozing out of her forehead. This was terrifying to think about it, and the more you think about it, the more terrifying it becomes.

Han Yi is really too young, now he is only in his twenties, and an old man named Xu Jingzong is exhausted.

Yang felt the cold wind whirling behind her back. For ten years, she might not be able to get it at that time, so she hurriedly asked, "Then--what should I do?"

Wu Meiniang narrowed her eyes and said, "The only way is not to give him a chance to delay it ten years later. Now that his power has not yet been formed, his plan will take a long time. You must give him away before he is full of wings, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."

Now her power is the strongest. Not to mention the harem, even in the outer court, except for Li Zhi, no one is her opponent. She lives in the present. Although Han Yi is weak at this moment, Han Yi lives in the future. At the moment, he is still too young. This is a bottleneck. The officialdom is still seniority. Then the key to the victory between the two sides is actually time, the battle between the present and the future. Therefore, in Wu Meiniang's view, if Han Yi is not eliminated now, it will only become more and more difficult in the future. Changsun Wuji has been prime minister for 30 years and has once had power in the court and the country. Han Yi is completely likely to surpass Changsun Wuji, which can be imagined.

Yang said: "But Han Yi is now deeply favored by His Majesty, and he is very capable and does not participate in any battles. He is busy with official duties all day long. If he wants to touch him, it will be very difficult."

Wu Meiniang nodded, with a sad look on her face. She knew Han Yi very well. Although Han Yi did something, she actually worked step by step, just looking scary. But when she thought about it carefully, Han Yi had a perfect time to choose, and she had no idea about this idea.

Yang said: "Or why we use the canal transportation to create some difficulties for Han Yi."

"No."

Wu Meiniang said, "Your Majesty attaches great importance to the transportation of the canal, and it also concerns the people of the world, the country and the country. If you don't do it well, you will cause big trouble. If your Majesty and the people know that we are doing something, it will only shoot yourself in the foot. And don't forget that many people have wanted to hinder Han Yi's policies, but not only did they fail to succeed, but they caused themselves trouble. In this regard, none of us is his opponent. This matter must be discussed for a long time, and I don't rush this time anyway, so I have to think carefully. In addition, during this period, don't alert the snake. We must maintain a close relationship with Han Yi, so that our chances of victory will be higher."

......

......

Yang Mansion.

"Oh...this matter has finally passed."

With the help of Yang Sine, Old Lady Yang slowly came to the front hall.

Yang Sine said: "This is all my credit. My mother has always been devout to Buddha. The Buddha will naturally bless our Yang family."

Mrs. Yang smiled and said, "Don't say these nice words. Although I am old, I am not confused. Our Yang family can successfully overcome this level entirely by our hidden son-in-law. If it weren't for his advice, I think our Yang family might not have been able to escape unscathed."

Yang Sine said angrily: "What son-in-law, the child didn't recognize him."

Mrs. Yang smiled and said, "Maybe they are not interested in it anymore."

Yang Sine was embarrassed and speechless.

Mrs. Yang said again: "By the way, Feixue has gone there again?"

Yang Sine nodded awkwardly.

Mrs. Yang sighed and said, "It's over here, don't be too petty in your heart. As long as they live happily and are helpful to our Yang family, what else can you do? If you marry Feixue to the Changsun family and the Gao family, I'm afraid we won't be able to sit here and talk today."

Yang Sine nodded and said, "My mother is right, the child remembers it."

.........

Han Yi is such a simple child, so how could Wu Meiniang have so many plans? After this period, she immediately organized a family gathering. Work is for life. This concept has always been very clear.

Now that winter is here, the beauty of the hot spring manor can be reflected even more, so of course you have to experience it well.

However, they have not experienced the benefits of hot springs yet, so they first experience the benefits of fireplaces.

At night, three beauties sat casually on the sofa, all looking at the fireplace next to them curiously.

"This stove is really warm, and it's really strange that the smoke is moving upwards." Yang Feixue stared at the fireplace with her big curious eyes.

Yuan Mudan nodded slightly and said thoughtfully: "If---!"

Xiao Wuyi immediately said: "If you use it for a business, it will definitely make a lot of money, right? The seller is the seller."

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Yuan Mudan's face, and she immediately said, "Your husband is also a businessman."

Xiao Wuyi snorted: "But my husband is different from you, you only have money in your eyes."

Just now, I suddenly heard someone outside say, "What are the three beauties talking about?"

Han Yi walked in with a fruit plate and placed it on the table, "I'm so cold, I'm so cold." Then he sat next to Yuan Mudan and hugged Yuan Mudan in his arms.

Yuan Mudan didn't react at all and felt very depressed. There were three sitting here. Why did you choose me? You were very uncomfortable and twisted your body and whispered: "What are you doing?"

Han Yi said with a simple face: "What are you doing?"

Yuan Mudan said: "Why are you sitting here?"

Han Yi said: "There are two sitting there and one sitting here. Are you wrong with me sitting here?"

Xiao Wuyi pursed her lips and winked at Han Yi, as if she was still encouraging Han Yi.

Han Yi blinked back with a clear understanding.

Yang Feixue saw it all, hid and laughed secretly.

Of course, Yuan Mudan saw it too. She was so angry that she was not angry. Fortunately, she was calm and knew that the more she struggled, the more awkward the atmosphere, so she could only let Han Yi hold it, with a slightly flushed face. Fortunately, there was a fire in the fireplace, so she couldn't see it clearly.

Han Yi asked again: "What are you talking about just now?"

Yang Feixue immediately said: "We are talking about this fireplace."

Han Yi said, "Warm."

Yang Feixue nodded.

Han Yi said again: "But compared to this fireplace, the indoor hot spring is more comfortable. Otherwise, we will bubble together later."

Yang Feixue immediately spat and said, "Don't think about it."

Xiao Wuyi's eyes turned and said, "I'll discuss with Feixue. We will go to soak later. If you want to soak, just go with Sister Mudan."

Han Yi smiled and said, "It's good too!" He secretly handed Xiao Wuyi two grateful gazes.

Xiao Wuyi responded to two cunning gazes.

Yuan Mudan was very upset and said, "I didn't agree to this."
