The imperial master had left for a long time, and Emperor Yaozong was the only one left in the pavilion.
A moment later, Emperor Yaozong, who was originally calm, suddenly exploded.
Emperor Yaozong stood up, overturned the chessboard, and opened his arms to the position of the imperial master, like an angry lion.
"You care about the world? Are you short-sighted?!"
"This world belongs to me, when do I need you to care about me?"
"Do you really think you can beat me this time?!"
The pavilion was in a mess, and the emperor was sitting on a futon in the corner disheveled, but after venting his anger, he truly regained his former imperial majesty.
The eunuch beside the emperor trotted all the way to the outside of the pavilion. Facing the scene inside the pavilion, he seemed to be blind and turned a blind eye.
"Your Majesty, after the Imperial Master left, he went directly to the eldest princess."
This time Emperor Yaozong narrowed his eyes without any concealment, exuding a dangerous aura.
"He (she) really wants to have his own way... Then I have nothing to worry about."
"It is said that Yun Xue Zhi will enter the palace."
tempered into a steel.
"The emperor summons you to the palace?"
"Um."
"The eldest princess also wants to see you?"
"Um."
Yun Xuezhi felt that this matter was a bit tricky, as the emperor and the eldest princess summoned him at the same time.
Of course, Yun Xuezhi cannot offend both parties, but now that he knows that the "overall situation" is involved behind the two, Yun Xuezhi knows that he must make a decision.
"That's where you think I should go?"
After this period of time, Yun Xuezhi has become accustomed to seeking the opinions of his eldest grandson in advance.
The eldest grandson also felt embarrassed, but after thinking for a moment, he gave some advice.
"Enter the palace and meet the emperor!"
"Do you think the eldest princess can't win?" Yun Xuezhi thought the same thing, but still asked the eldest grandson one more question.
The eldest grandson shook his head. The situation between the emperor and the eldest princess was still unclear. He did not dare to say in which direction things would develop now, but at least he knew that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty would still be Tang Yaozong many years later.
"I'll go see the eldest princess for you," said the eldest grandson.
Yun Xuezhi originally wanted to say that this is not appropriate, and the eldest princess may not necessarily meet you, but when he thought about the miraculous performance of his eldest grandson during this period, he did not say much.
Yun Xuezhi walked into the imperial study and bowed politely to the emperor.
Even though Yun Xuezhi acted like a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers at the court meeting, when he went to the royal study room to meet the Holy Emperor alone, he was still panicking.
Emperor Yaozong sat on the dragon chair and looked at Yun Xuezhi in front of him with a satisfied expression.
"Yes, he is a rare talent."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Come, give me a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The eunuch brought a chair, and Yun Xuezhi wondered whether he should sit down or not.
Emperor Yaozong saw Yun Xuezhi looking a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "You dare to openly refuse my reward in the court, but here you don't even dare to sit on a chair. What, are you afraid that I will harm you?"
Yun Xuezhi said he didn't dare and hurriedly sat down.
"Okay, relax. You did a good job in Tang Huaian's case this time, and you have merit. I originally planned to ask you to reward me, but you just happened to ask me for Qiu Shou's errand. I think you haven't entered yet." Chao, I must not know much about Qiu Shou, so I have called you into the palace to remind you a few words in person."
Yun Xuezhi's heart skipped a beat, it was indeed about Qiu Shou!
But Yun Xuezhi didn't dare to show any signs on the surface, for fear that the emperor would see something.
"Your Majesty is so kind that I will surely remember your holy words."
The emperor nodded with satisfaction, "Well, you are quite obedient. Regarding Tang Huaian's case, I asked you not to spend too much time on the spiritual weapons of the deceased. You listened and did a good job."
Yun Xuezhi laughed dryly and did not dare to answer. The clothes behind him were already wet with sweat.
If I insist on going my own way and continue to search for the spiritual weapons of the deceased clan, will I be punished by His Majesty now?
Set?
However, before Yun Xuezhi could breathe a sigh of relief, the emperor's next words once again made Yun Xuezhi feel on pins and needles.
"You are a smart person, but the biggest problem with smart people is that they are too curious."
"I think you already know what the legacy spiritual weapon is for, right?"
Yun Xuezhi, who was already fair-faced, now looked even paler.
"Don't be afraid. A little curiosity is a good thing. I just said that your obedience saved your life."
After Yun Xuezhi heard this, he dared to wipe the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves.
Emperor Yaozong glanced at Yun Xuezhi and continued: "This legacy spiritual weapon is a sealing array. To be precise, it is only a part of the sealing array and is specially used to seal spiritual objects."
What Emperor Yaozong said is the same as what Yun Xuezhi grasped. But what he didn't know was that this legacy spiritual weapon was only part of the sealing formation.
Then this sealing formation must be a big formation!
Before, the eldest grandson and himself were still doubting how this spiritual weapon of the deceased clan could get into Tang Huaian's hands since it was so important.
Now Yun Xuezhi understood that it was probably the bereaved clan who had lurked in the Qiu Shou Field to set up a sealing array, and Tang Huaian, as the person in charge of the Qiu Shou, found part of the sealing array by chance, which was the bereaved clan's spiritual weapon.
Emperor Yaozong was not surprised when he saw that Yun Xuezhi knew that he had mastered the information.
This is a good thing, at least it proves that Yun Xuezhi is a smart person, and it will be much easier to talk to smart people.
"I know that you asked me to accompany Qiu Shou on this errand because you wanted to know the truth behind Qiu Shou."
Yun Xuezhi experienced the previous nervousness and fear, and now managed to regain his composure.
Since the emperor had made everything clear, Yun Xuezhi knew that pretending to be stupid was not advisable, so he simply made it clear.
"When Wei Chen accepted the Tang Huaian case, there was something unclear."
Emperor Yaozong knew what Yun Xuezhi was going to say, but still let him continue.
"Weichen doesn't understand why His Majesty is so indifferent to this case and sent a novice like Weichen who has no experience in solving cases to take over the case..."
Emperor Yaozong heard this and interrupted with a smile: "The final result proves that I was right to choose you."
Yun Xuezhi frowned and wanted to refute, but when he saw that the person opposite was the emperor, he swallowed his words and continued: "Even if Wei Chen finally solved the case, there are still doubts in it. Utensil..."
"You feel that I am hiding something, so you want to know the truth."
Yun Xuezhi nodded.
"So I just said, it's okay to be curious, but the first thing is to learn to be obedient."
"Fortunately, you have learned. If you had not listened to my dissuasion and insisted on investigating the spiritual artifacts of the deceased clan, the situation would not have developed as it does now, and you would have never been able to get close to the truth in your life."
Yun Xuezhi was not convinced by Emperor Yaozong's statement in his heart, but on the surface he still said: "I should obey your Majesty's orders."
Emperor Yaozong looked at Yun Xuezhi with a smile in his eyes and did not believe his statement.
"Now, I can tell you the truth!"
Yun Xuezhi looked at the emperor in disbelief.
"The remnants of the clan have plagued the mainland for thousands of years, causing countless tragedies on the mainland, and the dynasty has also suffered greatly."
"The reason why I took Tang Huaian's case like this is to avoid alerting the enemy, so that I can close the net during the autumn hunting and catch all the survivors in one go!"
Emperor Yaozong did not go into details, but Yun Xuezhi was a smart man, and this information was enough for him to connect many details together.
In other words, Autumn Hunting was actually a game arranged by Emperor Yaozong for the surviving family members.
Thinking about it this way, we can understand why Emperor Yaozong left the Ministry of Rites alone at the beginning, and instead appointed a novice like Tang Huaian to be in charge of the Autumn Hunting, in order to allow the surviving family members to fish in troubled waters and sneak into the Autumn Hunting Ground to tamper with others.
Just by calculation, Tang Huaian unexpectedly ran into the formation of the surviving family members by chance.
The death of Tang Huaian and the exposure of the spiritual weapons of the bereaved family almost made the bereaved family a big threat.
The focal point of the home.
This is not only what the bereaved family does not want to see, it is also not the result that the emperor wants. This is likely to scare the bereaved family away in advance.
That's why the emperor's attitude towards Tang Huaian's case seemed so ambiguous.
Of course, even if the emperor said this, it was still not the whole truth.
First of all, what is the sealing formation of the surviving clan preparing to seal? Why is there the royal fire, Tiangang Zhengqi, in the spiritual weapon? Could it be that there is something going on with the National Master?
Secondly, what role does the eldest princess play in this game?
None of these emperors mentioned anything, and Yun Xuezhi certainly wouldn't be upset until he asked the emperor directly.
But at least Yun Xuezhi can deduce that there must be something important in the Autumn Hunting Ground, or the secret realm of sky burial, that makes the surviving family take huge risks and go deep into the important places of the dynasty to snatch it.
Yun Xuezhi was thinking about this in his mind, and he didn't know how he got out of the imperial study room in the end.
After returning to Bailian Steel, I realized that since this legacy spiritual weapon was part of the sealing formation, why didn't the emperor let himself hand over such an important thing to him? Not even a word was mentioned.
After thinking about it, Yun Xuezhi seemed to understand again that the emperor might have other purposes for calling him into the palace this time.
On the one hand, it is to let people like the eldest princess understand Yun Xuezhi's position, and on the other hand, it is to make it difficult for the survivors to tell who owns the spiritual weapon.
Of course, a small person like Yun Xuezhi is not worthy of the attention of big people at ordinary times, and his position cannot determine anything.
But at this moment when the big guys are keeping each other in check and hiding, small chess pieces like Yun Xuezhi seem to have the role of revitalizing the chess game.
Not long after Yun Xuezhi came back, his eldest grandson also came back.
"How is it?" Changsun asked.
Yun Xuezhi told his eldest grandson everything about the situation in the palace.
"How much do you think your Majesty's words can be believed?" Yun Xuezhi didn't really believe in the emperor.
Changsun rubbed his chin with his hand, "There is no need for the emperor to lie to you, but he must be hiding something."
Yun Xuezhi thought for a while and nodded.
Indeed, a little person like himself is not worthy of being specially summoned to the palace by the emperor to deceive him.
"What is certain now is that there will indeed be survivors during the Autumn Hunting, and a big battle will inevitably occur. Secondly, the eldest princess will most likely sit on the sidelines during the Autumn Hunting and reap the benefits in the end." Yun Xuezhi concluded.
"It's unlikely. If that's the case, the eldest princess will not summon you at the same time as the emperor summons you. This undoubtedly shows the emperor's antagonistic attitude. And the emperor will certainly not be stupid enough to plant a tree to let others enjoy the shade. Changsun objected.
Yun Xuezhi nodded when he heard the words, and then thought that the eldest grandson had just met the eldest princess, and he hadn't had time to ask about the situation in detail.
"What do you think?"
"Hmm...it went pretty well."
