Now, he had turned into Qiu Jianhan's appearance with the help of his cloud manifestation and had come here in secret.
His Majesty stood up abruptly and asked anxiously, "Why are you back? Didn't I tell you not to come back? "
His voice was unusually anxious and inexplicable. There was also a tinge of exasperation.
Yun Yang smiled easily. "It's alright, it's alright. No one knows that I'm back."
While the emperor heaved a sigh of relief, another wave of pressure weighed down on him.
Yun Yang had returned.
To Tiantang City and the Empire of Yutang, this outcome was both good and bad at the same time.
If someone with ulterior motives found out, the consequences would take a drastic turn for the worse. It would be unimaginable!
"What's the situation now?" asked Yun Yang.
"Sigh …"
The emperor sighed dejectedly. "No matter what, as long as Supreme Cloud is still here and the empire's faith remains strong, it's a good thing. Yun Yang, don't be impulsive and act recklessly. "
Yun Yang nodded and said, "I won't be impulsive, I won't act recklessly. Tell me directly."
"The situation is like this … Yesterday's morning assembly …" Yun Xiaoyao recounted what had happened yesterday, his face turning ashen as he spoke. "After that, the plan to attack the School of Kismet State was temporarily put on hold …"
Yun Yang fell into silence after hearing the emperor's words. He did not speak for a long time, like a silent volcano that was about to erupt.
"The School of Kismet State … Heh heh …" Yun Yang finally spoke, his voice cold and emotionless. "They said that they're here today to ask for an answer, right? That's what they said, isn't it? "
His Majesty turned around in shock. "Supreme Cloud! Do you know what you're representing now? If you're impulsive … Yutang … will be finished! Since you have the ability to sneak into the palace without everyone's knowledge, you can leave safely as well. Bear with this for now … "
Yun Yang said seriously, "I won't be impulsive, but I don't have to bear with it all the time either!"
He sucked in a deep breath and said, "We can do this and that …"
As he spoke, the emperor and Yun Xiaoyao's eyes lit up, growing brighter and brighter.
At the same time, the vague thought in His Majesty's mind became clearer and clearer.
When Yun Yang was done with his calculations, His Majesty heaved a long sigh, feeling like the boulder in his heart had been completely released. He smiled in relief and said, "Yun Yang, I was thinking of conferring an official position on you … It looks like there's no need for that now …"
Yun Yang could not help chuckling. "Fortunately, you didn't reward me. I've never been suited to be an official."
"Yes, your current status is even higher than mine!"
His Majesty laughed heartily. "Remember the first time I saw you, I only felt that you were a little slippery. The second time I saw you, I was sure that you were a little foppish. The third time I saw you, I felt that you were a little shrewd. The fourth time I saw you, I was suspicious because of your magical detoxification skill. However, the fifth time I saw you, all my suspicions were dispelled by your father … Until now, after so many twists and turns, it turns out that my initial guess was right."
Yun Yang said respectfully, "Your Majesty is wise, Yun Yang is impressed."
"Wise my foot! I'm so wise that I've been fooled by these fellows like a fool. If it was anyone else who said this, I would at most feel that they didn't mean what they said, but coming from your mouth, I only feel ashamed, so ashamed that I can't even show my face. "The emperor rolled his eyes and glared at Yun Xiaoyao, his anger still lingering.
Yun Xiaoyao coughed awkwardly.
It was as if the stain of his concealing Yun Yang's identity this time would probably never be forgotten by his royal brother for the rest of his life.
His Majesty then turned his head and warned, "Your plan is indeed thorough, but there is always the slightest chance. Do not take any risks. If anything goes wrong, you must leave at the first instant. Saving your own life is the priority. Do you understand?"
"Yes, yes, survival comes first!"
Yun Yang could clearly feel the change in His Majesty's attitude this time. It was a fundamental change.
Before this, the emperor had wanted to find Supreme Cloud and control him. After all, an unconventional force that exceeded the imperial authority was a great threat to His Majesty. To those in power, it could not and should not exist. Therefore, there was a barrier between the Nine Supremes and Yutang's royalty. It was only because Yun Yang had expressed his understanding and did not mind that it did not trigger a greater conflict.
In spite of this, the feeling of barrier had vanished without a trace.
The ambition to control everything was nowhere to be found. What replaced it was a magnanimity that allowed all rivers to flow into the sea!
Facing Yun Yang now, not only was there no longer the feeling of being in control, there was also an inexplicable sense of respect.
Yes, it was respect.
In spite of this, Yun Yang did not feel flattered by the emperor's respect; he was composed and at ease.
As Supreme Cloud's unparalleled achievements, Yun Yang was unperturbed by all forms of respect.
…
The palace issued a royal edict, summoning the civil and military officials for a meeting.
Everyone was ordered to rush to the palace within two hours.
The civil and military officials walked out of their homes one after another, their faces pale and somber. There was not a hint of calmness in them. Everyone still remembered the humiliation they had suffered yesterday, but the deadline was approaching.
Did His Majesty have to admit defeat in front of all the civil and military officials?
This was going too far!
At the same time, in the same Throne Room, the same number of people.
Including Qiu Jianhan, who had vomited blood and was bedridden yesterday, Fang Qingtian and the others who had been bedridden the moment they returned …
Now, all of them were standing in the Throne Room.
Although their faces were sallow and they were panting heavily with blood stains at the corners of their mouths, not a single one of them was missing.
We are Yutang's officials. When His Majesty rules the world, we accompany him, looking down on the world. When His Majesty rules the world, we accompany him, dominating Tianxuan. However, when His Majesty is humiliated, we are also here, smiling at the thorns!
Looking at the civil and military officials gathered in the hall, His Majesty felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
This is one of my trusted subjects! They are also my right-hand men!
His Majesty sat on the throne with a grim expression. The ministers and aristocrats beneath him were equally grim.
"The main purpose of summoning all of you today is still about yesterday's matter." The emperor's expression was grim. "Regarding the School of Kismet State … how should the imperial court confer the title … I need all of you to give your opinions and discuss this."
Silence!
There was a moment of deathly silence.
All the civil and military officials in the imperial court were panting heavily, but not a single one of them spoke.
At this moment, even the officials who usually formed cliques for personal gain, even the officials who were insatiably greedy and overbearing, even the ones who were unrestrained in their demands, even …
No one made a sound!
An indescribable silence, mixed with a sense of humiliation that came from the bottom of their hearts, gradually spread throughout the hall.
His Majesty was not in a hurry. His hawk-like gaze scanned each and every one of them and said slowly, "No one speaks? Don't worry, there's no hurry. There's still time. We can discuss slowly. "
