This was the first time that Emperor Long An, who always had an ambiguous attitude, expressed his stand clearly at the great court meeting. He didn't disclose half a word with anyone in advance. Not only the Fang Qin Party, but the Grand Council's members were also in confusion.

      Jiang Chong glanced at Yan Wang vaguely and said to himself, "Did the emperor take the wrong medicine?"

      Chang Geng's face did not show any difference. He stepped forward and plainly flattered him. Although he played politics, he was naturally born with a kind of immortal spirit of someone living in a remote forest. Even the posture of flattering seemed to be very indifferent, not taking winning or losing to heart, as if he had completely agreed with Li Feng in advance.

+

      At that time, someone's face changed.

+

      Li Feng knew in his heart that Yan Wang intended to borrow his influence, the civil and martial of the court all have their own plans, but it didn't matter, if he could build a ladder for Yan Wang, he could build a ladder for anyone.

+

      This time, Li Feng used two political orders to push the Grand Council to the top of the storm. He wanted to see what those people who always brought up the Red Imperial Edict and Iron Plaque could do to Yan Wang, who had become a monk and only called ‘Royal Father’ once in all his life.

      This day, the capital was doomed to a sleepless night.

+

      In the Grand Council, Jiang Chong whispered to Chang Geng, "Your Highness, what should we do? Do we continue according to the original plan?"

+

      Chang Geng said without hesitation, "Strike while the iron is hot."

+

      Jiang Chong took a deep look at Chang Geng and asked, "Your Highness, if we were too forceful, what if they use their last resort?"

+

      Chang Geng turned to look at him and said meaningfully, "What I'm afraid of is that they don't do it. Brother Han Shi, do you know what the most useful sentence I've learned in my life is?"

+

      Jiang Chong suddenly felt incredibly frightened.

+

      Chang Geng said, "On the battlefield, whoever doesn't want to die, will die first."

      On his way home from the Grand Council, Chang Geng happened to run into Fang Qin's carriage. He told Huo Dan, "Let Master Fang go first."

      After a while, Huo Dan ran back to report: "Your Highness, Lord Fang said he didn't dare to be impolite. He has already made way."

+

      Chang Geng brushed aside the curtain and bowed to Fang Qin politely. They passed each other peacefully, as if they didn't want the other to perish.

+

      Chang Geng leaned on the carriage and thought that if he and Fang Qin were to change places, he would endure this storm. When the new nobles in the imperial court occupied the transportation finance, then pushed it when their foundation was not stable and their expansion was too fast, at that time, he would simply wait silently for Li Feng to act —— the nobles like cobwebs in the imperial court have forces everywhere. If they were willing to pursue it slowly, there would be opportunities to restore the old system after the war.
