Chapter 835: Chapter 605: It is an Otherworldly Saint’s Incarnation

Capital Luoyang, Ministry of War of the Six Ministries.

At this moment, Minister of War Yan Qing was playing chess with Grand Tutor Zhangsun Mingyang, chatting comfortably.

"Grand Tutor, have you found the whereabouts of that bastard?"

Yan Qing asked tentatively, for not long ago, the Zhangsun family suddenly sent out six clan elders, all of celestial Immortal Realm level. Such a formation, only this matter could warrant Zhangsun family’s gravest attention.

"Hmm! I didn’t expect he was really still alive!"

"Report!"

Just as Yan Qing was about to say something, an urgent report suddenly came from outside the door. Zhangsun Mingyang’s face changed and he stood up abruptly.

"Speak!"

"In the ancestral hall, the soul tablets of all six elders and Lord Zhangsun Yi have all shattered!"

"What!"

The moment the clan member guarding the ancestral hall finished speaking, Zhangsun Mingyang bellowed furiously. Seven celestial immortals of the Zhangsun family were slain at once!

Since the Royal Family took over the world, it was the first time anyone dared to challenge the Zhangsun family’s authority so brazenly!

At the same time, Yan Qing also received an urgent message; the soul tablets of tens of thousands of the Cold Wolf Army simultaneously shattered and fell together!

"Grand Tutor, the Cold Wolf Army has also been annihilated!"

Yan Qing said solemnly. Judging from the timing, the celestial immortals of the Zhangsun family and the Cold Wolf Army should have perished around the same time.

"Within the Northern Border, the only ones capable of such feats, causing the fall of our family’s celestial immortals and the Cold Wolf Army simultaneously, are probably the Ice-breaking Wolf Riders of the Royal Palace!"

Zhangsun Mingyang’s eyes glinted with cold light, but he analyzed calmly. Yan Qing nodded in agreement; those daring enough to slaughter the Imperial Court’s army could only be the Royal Palace, no other power would dare!

"Enter the palace to see the Emperor, I want to see what grandiose reason the Royal Palace dares to act this way!"

"Yes!"

The Grand Tutor’s Mansion, Zhangsun Mingyang and Yan Qing boarded the carriage and headed straight to the Imperial Palace.

At this Hour, the morning court was long over, so the two headed directly to the courtyard where the Imperial Study Room was located, seeking an audience with the Emperor.

However, outside the courtyard, they were stopped by the head eunuch by the Emperor’s side, Luo Ying.

"Grand Tutor, please hold your steps!"

"I have urgent matters to see the Emperor, please inform him, Lord Luo!"

Stopped, Zhangsun Mingyang did not get angry. He said in a deep voice, following proper procedure.

"The Emperor knew you would come, so he instructed me to wait here and relay a few words to the Grand Tutor."

"Please, Lord Luo."

"The Zhangsun family has been loyal to the Dynasty unwaveringly. Though the rebellion is unbelievable, what the Royal Palace did was justified. The past matters will be forgiven, but from now on, the Zhangsun family must not meddle in Prince affairs, any further violation will be unforgivable!"

"We humbly obey the imperial decree!"

Zhangsun Mingyang’s face was extremely somber, but he did not dare to disobey in the slightest. The implied meaning of Luo Ying’s words was clear: the Emperor was already aware of everything.

Not being punished face-to-face was already immense mercy from the heavens!

"Minister Yan, please stay, the Emperor summons you!"

As Zhangsun Mingyang turned to leave, Yan Qing naturally followed, but at this moment, Luo Ying’s voice suddenly sounded, stopping Yan Qing’s steps abruptly.

Yan Qing frowned, the Emperor was unwilling to see even the Grand Tutor, yet he was summoned to the Imperial Study Room alone at this moment, it boded ill!

But the imperial decree cannot be defied, he could only brace himself and step into the Imperial Study Room.

"Emperor, Yan Qing seeks an audience!"

At the door of the Imperial Study Room, Yan Qing knelt on both knees, respectfully requested, outwardly calm, but inwardly anxious.

"Come in!"

From inside the Imperial Study Room came Emperor Wang Mingyu’s voice. Yan Qing stood, patted the dust off his official robes, took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

Then he slowly pushed open the door and entered. He saw Emperor Wang Mingyu sitting on the Taishi Chair, reading a book, the book covering his face, making it impossible for Yan Qing to see any expression.

"May I know why the Emperor summoned this humble official?"

Yan Qing didn’t dare to breathe heavily. Seeing Wang Mingyu silent, he took the initiative, asking in a low voice.

"So Minister Yan still acknowledges me as the Emperor!"

Though simple, each word pierced Yan Qing’s heart, making him quickly kneel, not daring to lift his head, trembling as he spoke.

"This official is guilty of a thousand deaths, please punish me!"

"Oh? What crime is Minister Yan guilty of?"

"This official’s loyalty to the Emperor is as clear as day and night, but I shouldn’t have abused my power and clandestinely associated..."

"Alright, rise!"

Before Yan Qing could finish, Wang Mingyu interrupted, setting the book aside casually, rising slowly, and came to Yan Qing, extending a hand to help him up.

"This official is fearful!"

"Is there anything you need to fear? If not for your diligent service, I would’ve beheaded you long ago. Come, sit!"

"Yes!"

Emperor and minister sat opposite each other. Yan Qing still dared not speak; he knew well the Emperor’s methods, mercurial, a slight misstep would cost him his head.

"Do you know why I didn’t see the Grand Tutor?"

Wang Mingyu’s casual question made Yan Qing ponder earnestly. After a moment, he answered.

"The Emperor didn’t see the Grand Tutor to warn him!"

"Oh? Explain!"

"Not seeing the Grand Tutor, firstly, the Emperor considers the bond with the Zhangsun lineage. Since the Royal Palace dared to slaughter Zhangsun family’s seven celestial immortals and exterminate the Cold Wolf, there must be justifiable reasons!"

"These reasons force the Emperor to side with the Royal Palace. The Zhangsun lineage has been insubordinate in recent years, even overreaching. The Emperor took this opportunity to chastise and warn them!"

"Correct, you still live up to your position as Minister!"
