Shangyang Palace.

Wu Zhao has been staying in the study these days.

Every day I read the intelligence sent back from the front line over and over again.

Now that Qiu Shenji's army is safe and sound, her heart can be considered at peace.

Just when Wu Zhao once again looked at the information sent an hour ago, Shangguan Wan'er walked in from outside.

She came to Wu Zhao's side and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, there is news from Zuixianju."

Wu Zhao's face changed slightly when he heard this, and asked: "What did he say in his story today?"

Shangguan Wan'er replied: "What Lu Yan said in today's story is that Zhang Yide made a big fuss at Changbanqiao and Liu Yuzhou was defeated at Hanjinkou. However, the news that I want to report back has nothing to do with this."

Wu Zhao frowned slightly and asked, "What did he do again?"

Now she felt scared when she heard the name Lu Yan.

The fire is burning, and the three-thirds of the world is enough to give her a headache.

If Lu Yan made any trouble at this time, she was afraid that she would really have to fight Lu Yan at all costs!

Shangguan Wan'er replied: "Today, Dongfang Lan, the saint of Cihang Jingzhai, went to Zuixianju to ask Lu Yan who is a virtuous master worthy of assistance."

After hearing Shangguan Wan'er's words, Wu Zhao's expression suddenly changed!

Cihang Jingzhai is a holy place in the martial arts world. Everyone knows that when the saint Cihang Jingzhai was born, she would only assist the destined emperor.

Therefore, Dongfanglan's choice represents the public opinion to a large extent.

Once Dongfang Lan makes a choice, it will inevitably have a great impact on the current world trend.

"How did he say?"

Rarely, Wu Zhao was a little nervous.

Lu Yan's answer will definitely have a certain impact on Dongfang Lan's choice.

And based on her current relationship with Lu Yan, there is a high probability that Lu Yan will not speak for her.

Thinking of this, her face couldn't help but become a little ugly.

Shangguan Wan'er replied: "The one Lu Yan said wins the hearts of the people is the one Dongfang Lan should choose to assist."

When Wu Zhao heard this answer, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

As long as Lu Yan is not talking about the Li family or the Song clan, then there won't be a big problem.

"Those who win the hearts of the people..."

Wu Zhao murmured in a low voice and told Shangguan Wan'er: "Now there are wars in the Tang Dynasty and the people are displaced. I am sending orders to all states and counties to open warehouses and release grain to help the poor people."

"The daily expenses for the entire palace have been reduced by half!"

When Shangguan Wan'er heard Wu Zhao's words, she immediately said: "I obey the decree, let's go and do it now."

…

Prince Zhao's Mansion.

Just when Wu Zhao heard about the conversation between Lu Yan and Dongfang Lan, Li Yuanba also heard about it.

It's a pity that he is just a prince, and he is still in the capital of the gods. He has no real power and cannot order things that are considerate to the people like Wu Zhao.

So he could only approach things from other angles.

First of all, I need to write a letter to Xu Jingye, saying that wherever the army passes, the soldiers must be strictly monitored and no one is allowed to disturb the people.

The second is to use some power to speak for the emperor today among the people.

The people must realize that the reason why Wu Zhao ordered the opening of granaries to release grain and to provide relief to the poor people was all due to today's emperor.

Wu Zhao was just following God's will.

Wu Zhao's influence in this matter must be weakened.

Finally, he will punish a group of corrupt officials and behead all those officials who have harmed the people and made them bullied. This will be very satisfying!

In this way, the Li family can gain the upper hand in this confrontation.

…

Zuixianju.

When Lu Yan heard that Wu Zhao was ordering people to post lists everywhere, he took a look at the contents on the lists with some curiosity.

After reading the content, he couldn't help laughing.

Wu Zhao's reaction was really fast.

He just told Dongfang Lan that he who wins the hearts of the people will win the world, and Wu Zhao started to win over the hearts of the people.

All I can say is that she is truly worthy of being a military queen, and she does have some tricks up her sleeve.

As for Li's side, he knew without guessing that Li would definitely respond in the same way and win over people's hearts from different angles.

Anyway, regardless of whether Wu Zhao and Li are trying to show off, at least the people should be able to get some tangible benefits.

In this way, he can be regarded as indirectly doing a good thing.

While Lu Yan was looking at the list, Dongfang Lan and Song Yuming were also looking at the list.

Looking at the series of decrees issued by Wu Zhao for the sake of the people of the world, the two of them had the same thoughts as Lu Yan.

"This Empress Wu reacted really quickly. In less than a day, she had already issued a decree to take care of the people."

Song Yuming looked at what was written on the list and sighed repeatedly.

They all knew that Wu Zhao was trying to win people's hearts and was just acting on occasion.

But the people don't think so. As long as they can get tangible benefits, they will definitely praise Wu Zhao.

Dongfang Lan heard Song Yuming's words and said softly: "I don't care if she is acting or not, as long as she is actually doing things for the people, it is a good thing."

Song Yuming nodded and said: "If she can start acting from now on and act for the rest of her life, she will be quite powerful."

"However, there is a high probability that she will not be able to act for such a long time. Now that the people have obtained it from her, she is afraid that she will take back all of it with profits."

Dongfang Lan nodded lightly and said, "Let's go and see Li's reaction."

While the two were talking, a burst of noise suddenly came from not far away, as if someone was celebrating something.

After some inquiries in the past, they found out that it was Li Yuanba, King of Zhao, who had punished a corrupt official who was exploiting the common people and violating the law.

The people who have been bullied and humiliated by this corrupt official are celebrating now!

As luck would have it, the corrupt official Li Yuanba killed was named Wu, and he was from the Wu clan.

Song Yuming and Dongfang Lan looked at each other, with extremely strange expressions on their faces.

Here Wu Zhao was doing good things, and over there Li Yuanba was doing good things while demolishing Wu Zhao, without any delay.

"Have you heard? It is said that this decree was issued by the emperor, and Empress Wu is only responsible for executing it."

"I've also heard that this is the emperor's idea!"

"I just said that Empress Wu can't be so kind and suddenly treat the people so well. It turns out it was the emperor's intention!"

A group of several people passed by Song Yuming and Dongfang Lan while whispering in low voices.

Dongfang Lan and Song Yuming heard this conversation and both admired Li Yuanba's methods.

This transfer of the prestige brought by the decree issued by Wu Zhao to the emperor of today is really a good move to change the world.

"If this matter reaches Shangyang Palace, I'm afraid Empress Wu will be so angry that she will vomit blood."

"Everyone in the world thinks that Li Yuanba is just a reckless man, but this reckless man is actually very smart."

Song Yuming and Dongfang Lan talked in low voices, and couldn't help but think of Lu Yan again.

If Lu Yan hadn't said those words in Zuixianju yesterday, perhaps what happened today wouldn't have happened.

"Every word and deed can move the world. This Mr. Lu is really amazing."

Dongfang Lan sighed.

In today's Tang Dynasty, unless the two dragons return, there is probably no one more influential than Lu Yan.

Just when Dongfang Lan was sighing, Lu Yan's figure suddenly appeared beside the two of them and said, "What a coincidence, you are also here to see the ranking?"

Dongfang Lan looked at Lu Yan who suddenly appeared and said, "Mr. Lu, your words and deeds have once again affected the entire world."

Lu Yan smiled and said, "This is all because of you Cihang Jingzhai. By the way, do you have the answer in your heart now?"

Dongfang Lan pondered for a moment and replied: "I want to visit Lingnan."

Song Yuming, who was standing aside, looked at Dongfang Lan in surprise when he heard this.

Dongfang Lan never mentioned this matter to him.

When I go to Lingnan, do I have to meet my parents?

Dongfang Lan added: "Whether it is Wu Zhao or Li, they are not doing things for the people sincerely, they are just trying to gain temporary fame."
