Tianlong Mountain is a mountain range located in Taiyuan.

Shangguan Yi was shocked by the scenery as soon as he arrived in this territory.

After walking for a while, I met Duan Lun's men. It was obvious that Duan Lun had more people than before.

"I didn't expect that there would be such a scenery in Taiyuan." Duan Lun said with a smile.

"Where are the people from the Wang family in Taiyuan?"

Shangguan Yi whispered.

Duan Lun looked at a mountain peak in the distance and said, "It's on the mountain."

Shangguan Yi followed Duan Lun's gaze and said, "There is indeed a house on the top of the mountain."

Looking back at the official behind him, Shangguan Yi did not rush up the mountain and said to Duan Lun: "During this period, I have been observing Taiyuan and found that Taiyuan did not seem to be so bad, but it was pretending too clean, and it was good to go all the way. I guess this is also the reason why Brother Duan has always been difficult to deal with Taiyuan, right?"

Duan Lun nodded.

Shangguan Yi said again: "Let's go up the mountain to have a look."

The two of them took their accompanying officials all the way to the mansion on the top of the mountain.

It took half an hour to climb to the top of Tianlong Mountain.

After getting closer, I saw how big the house was.

The servant who stood in front of the house walked up to salute and said, "Civil Duan, Censor Shangguan, the head of the family has been waiting for a long time, please come in."

After Shangguan Yi and Duan Lun walked into the courtyard silently.

Although the house is built on the top of the mountain, it also makes people feel very cool.

Following the servants here to a pond, Wang Yu, the head of the Wang family, stood here.

Wang Yu whispered: "You two have lived well in Taiyuan during this period?"

Duan Lun said with a polite politeness: "It's pretty good."

Wang Yu looked up at the two of them, "I understand more or less the meaning of the court. The changes in the five surnames have also changed a lot in the past two years. Sometimes it is really impossible to be unwilling to accept old age. We old guys are no longer the opponents of young people."

Duan Lun smiled, "Look at the head of the Wang family still in his prime."

"Beginning?" Wang Yu smiled bitterly, "It's not about body and age, the wisdom I mentioned."

Shangguan Yi said in confusion: "How do you say this?"

Wang Yu sighed, "It is a good thing for each generation to be smarter than the other. The five surnames have always controlled the vast majority of scholars in the world, and the ideas of these scholars..."

Speaking of this, Wang Yu pointed to his mind and said, "Their ideas are all controlled by the five surnames, but they are just puppets. Without spiritual energy, the five surnames would rather curb the wisdom of the people than keep their own power. This is what the five surnames have always done."

"I have heard a saying before. The five surnames have been standing still for hundreds of years. Remember this sentence was said by Li Zheng." Wang Yu took a sip of tea, "Actually, this sentence is right. The five surnames have always been standing still, because only by standing still, the five surnames can they establish absolute influence."

Shangguan Yi looked at Wang Yu in confusion.

In theory, Wang Yu is the head of the Wang family and should speak to the five surnames. How come these words sound like belittle the five surnames?

Duan Lun said: "So the imperial examination should be held in the court."

"The imperial examination is indeed a good thing and a difficult thing." Wang Yu sighed: "But you can take it slowly, you can always do it well, let alone there is a Li Zheng. Although I have never met Li Zheng, I think Li Zheng is a very special person."

Shangguan Yi kept looking around.

Duan Lun sat down first and said, "Li Zhen is a person with a very special temperament."

Wang Yu smiled and said, "I want to know how confident the court has in the imperial examination."

Duan Lun took the tea brought by his servant and said, "The court has great confidence in the imperial examination. Today, Jingyang Printing Bookstore has been expanding, and the books it prints have been thousands of copies a day."

"I have heard about the seal shop. This is also what our five surnames are most worried about. Li Shimin has such a powerful weapon in his hands. Everyone in the five surnames wants to kill Li Zheng."

After hearing what Wang Yu said, Shangguan Yi said, "I caught several batches of assassins who came to Jingyang for assassination a few days ago."

Wang Yu took a sip of tea, "I know that so many assassins failed to assassinate, and there are rumors in the court that His Majesty handed over the Longwu Army to Li Zheng?"

Duan Lun said: "I have been away from Chang'an for a while, but I haven't heard of it."

Shangguan Yi also sat down and explained: "There is indeed such a saying, but the news in the court is true and false. Your Majesty just appointed Li Zheng as a general of the Longwu Army. As for whether he handed over the Longwu Army to Li Zheng, no one knows."

Wang Yu said discouragedly: "Li Zheng was just a young boy in the past, but now Li Zheng is no longer clear. How strong is he? "

It’s hard to say whether Li Shimin handed over all the Longwu Army to Li Zheng.

The Longwu Army has always been a mysterious team. Since the end of the Xuanwu Gate Incident, the Longwu Army has been hidden by Li Shimin.

Is the rumored Dragon Martial Army really as brave as the legendary one?

Or is it just a method used by Li Shimin to bluff people.

Use such a mysterious team to suppress his own imperial power.

If the Longwu Army is really just a cover, then Li Shimin's move is too clever.

Wang Yu looked at Duan Lun and Shangguan Yi and said, "I don't want to participate in the affairs of the five clans. I just hope you can keep a hand in Taiyuan. Taiyuan is far from as bad as you think. There are bad officials, and there are good officials."

Knowing that Wang Yu was about to talk about the most important part of this conversation, Duan Lun and Shangguan Yi also raised their spirits.

Wang Yu said again: "I know that you have been investigating when you arrive in Taiyuan, but the pressure from the five clans has put me in. I have to erase everything and give you the best look in Taiyuan. Everything you can't see about Taiyuan will be handed over to you after you leave. At that time, right and wrong, let's decide for yourself."

These words surprised Shangguan Yi and Duan Lun.

Duan Lun asked in a low voice: "Master Wang, you shouldn't betray the five surnames and join the court."

Wang Yu smiled bitterly, "Do you think Taiyuan is still in the hands of my Wang family? The five surnames will also fight each other internally and compete for interests. Our Wang family is no longer the same as before. I betray the five surnames? I want to betray them, but if I tell the outside, many people in the Wang family will die."

Shangguan Yi analyzed silently, Wang Yu's words were full of helplessness.

"It's better to say threats. The Wang family can do too little now. The officials in Taiyuan not only have the eyes and ears of the Wang family, but also the ears of the other families!" Wang Yu looked angry when he said this, "My son and daughter have already gone to Chang'an, and I have no care."
