The deathly silence in the Ziyuan Palace......

In an instant.

It was as if everyone had disappeared, and not even the faintest breath or heartbeat could be heard. The huge palace where dozens or hundreds of officials stood was like a netherworld, completely silent.

This weird atmosphere infected everyone in the hall.

Tie Tang saw some officials at the back of the two queues whose legs and feet had begun to tremble, but they were still trying their best to restrain themselves and did not dare to make a sound.

"The Grand Master wants me to meet the Human Emperor?"

This decision is so profound.

From the performance of the officials present, Tie Tang had already guessed one thing.

No one knows exactly where the Human Emperor is!

The Emperor of China has not been in court for a hundred years, and many people suspect that something happened inside.

But suspicion is just suspicion after all, and the possibility of the Human Emperor practicing in seclusion is not impossible.

No one can be sure about the Yin Shang Palace suspended in the sky...

Is there anyone inside?

There is no doubt that the Yin Shang Palace, as the living and training place of the human emperor, is an absolutely taboo place and a forbidden area for immortals and gods.

Without being summoned, no one will dare to enter without being summoned, such as the Prime Minister of the Left, the Prime Minister of the Right, Duke Wu and Mu, the princes, etc.

"Then the Grand Master asked me to meet the Emperor... Doesn't that mean he asked me to die? I really... bless the Grand Master's family!" Cold sweat dripped from Tie Tang's forehead, and his scalp was numb.

If he breaks into the Yin Shang Palace and is beaten to death by the Human Emperor, his death will really be in vain.

There will be no one in the world who can save you.

"It seems...Wu Mu prevented me from becoming a county guard before, but he actually saved my life, which is beneficial to me but not harmful.

If I cannot become a county governor, I am not qualified to meet the Emperor just because I am an inspector.

Things will be different after becoming a county governor...

If you think this way, the palace master, Zuo Xiang and others who strongly recommended me...

Not right either.

What kind of fresh carrot skin am I that it’s their turn to plot against me?”

Tie Tang's thoughts were messy, and he wanted to find the key to solving the problem among the countless clues, but he always felt that there was endless fog covering him.

During the previous discussion in the palace, he was not in the palace and did not know what happened. It was impossible to speculate on everyone's motives.

Moreover, these court bosses have deep calculations. Even if they make a bad move, they may be able to use their strength to survive in another desperate situation.

As a flag bearer, I may be a confidant one moment, but become an outcast the next moment, and I am completely unable to figure out the true intentions of these immortal overlords.

Just when the civil and military forces of the entire dynasty were silent...

Taibao stood up.

"Que Huaqing, you have overstepped your bounds."

He called the Grand Master by his full name and expressed his anger.

However, the Taishi asked Tie Tang to meet the Emperor, which was in compliance with the law and a matter of etiquette. On the surface, there was no problem and no fault could be found. Even the Taibao could not criticize the other party from this point.

Therefore, the Taibao could only state clearly that the Taishi had crossed the line, but did not point out where exactly.

The governor of a county has great power and is responsible for the livelihood of hundreds of millions of people in the county. There are only seventy-two people in the entire world.

Historically, promoted county governors were met by the Emperor of China and canonized in person.

However, in the past hundred years, the Human Emperor has not been in court for a long time, and the newly promoted county governor has been promoted by the Third Duke on behalf of the Human Emperor.

For example, Li Qingwan, the governor of Qingshui County thirty years ago, had never met the Human Emperor, but was drafted by the Taibao.

If Tie Tang really wants to serve as the county governor, he can actually do what he has been doing for a hundred years, and let the three princes draft the announcement, which can save him from meeting the emperor.

But... Tie Tang also has an extremely ambiguous identity.

Inspector!

The Supervisory Hall is an absolutely independent system. Even the left prime minister, right prime minister, and Wu Mu have no right to interfere in the affairs of the Supervisory Hall.

As a law enforcement agency that is independent of the court and directly under the orders of the Emperor, every inspector in the Supervisory Hall can be said to be a close associate of the Emperor.

Because the requirements for becoming a supervisor are stringent, the strength gap between supervisors is huge. Immortal overlords can serve as supervisors, while sorcerers and wizards can also serve as supervisors.

In addition, the number of supervisors is not large. It is very rare for supervisors who can perform well in their own county competitions at the right age and establish enough merits to serve as county guards...

In the past hundred years, especially in recent decades, during this sensitive period, there have been candidates who can serve as supervisors and county governors at the same time.

There is only Tie Tang!

So as soon as he appeared, he was immediately targeted by many officials in the court, who wanted to borrow Tie Tang's help... to visit the Yin Shang Palace.

Look at that one——

Are you still there?

The Taibao understood this deeply, and he was also very confused. He also wanted to know what happened to his former friend, the invincible emperor who is now the overlord of the world?

But from the perspective of stabilizing the world structure, CPIC cannot let this answer be completely revealed.

Especially when it was revealed under the suggestion of some people with evil intentions.

And Que Huaqing.

This leader of the three princes, this current Grand Master, is the person in the heart of the Taibao who has evil intentions.

Because Taishi, like Wu Mu and King Jiang, were important ministers of the ancient Xia Dynasty, they will always bear the mark of the ancient Xia Dynasty.

Hearing the Taibao's scolding, Grand Master Que was neither sad nor happy. He didn't even twitch his brows, but just looked at other important officials in the court.

There are many old monsters in the court, many of them, and if you pick any one, they will be overlords who started out with thousands of years of life.

There are only a handful of geniuses who truly rose to prominence a thousand years ago and belong to that era...

The Human Emperor and the Taibao were the extremely dazzling twin stars of that era.

With terrifying talents, tremendous luck, and rare encounters throughout the ages, the Emperor and the Taibao have traveled the same path that others have gone through for thousands of generations in just one or two hundred years.

Especially the Human Emperor, the invincible emperor who shocked the past and the present, has reached the pinnacle where countless people look up to him with his peerless talents that dominate the past and present.

Now that the Human Emperor has disappeared, only the Taibao is left in the Twin Stars.

In the eyes of Taishi Que, and in the eyes of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, Taibao was lonely.

Because Taibao and they are not from the same era.

The one who can fight side by side with the Taibao and drink with a toast is now high in the palace of Yin and Shang, while the geniuses born after thousands of years are still too far away from them even if they reach the realm of immortals.

There is only one Taibao——

Nothing to worry about!

Wherever Grand Master Que looked, people kept responding, but no one dared to directly agree with Grand Master Que’s proposal.

Taibao may be able to compete with one or two...

But the name of the Emperor is so powerful that it dominates the world!

Unless the news of the Emperor's death really comes out and is brought to the table, which official would dare to openly take sides?

"There is no need to alarm the emperor when conferring a county governor. The grand master is too worried." An official wearing armor and a sword hanging from his waist stood up.

He is only a sixth-grade official, but he wears armor and carries a sword into the court.

Grand Master Que glanced sideways, but he was not surprised.

Officials who can join the court must be at least fourth-rank officials with real power, but there are some exceptions in the court.

For example, the person in front of me, a close minister of the Human Emperor, was in charge of the Wu Yushi of the three soldiers of Ziyuan.

Grand Master Que did not open his mouth to argue, but winked at the other person, and the Taoist priest with his hair in a Yin-Yang bun stood up with a whisk in his hand.

"The fortune of the Holy City has changed due to Wu Yu's affairs, and a catastrophe may be imminent."

"How dare a Taoist sect interfere in the affairs of the court?" Someone in the team on the right said sarcastically.

When Tie Tang heard this voice, he felt a little familiar. It was the last person who reminded him to thank him earlier.

He looked up and saw that the man was standing behind Marquis Zhongyong, his features were somewhat similar to Su Zian's.

Tie Tang immediately guessed who this person was.

Marquis Weiyuan!

Su Zian’s brother.

Before coming to the Holy Capital, Su Zian once said that he would write a letter to his brother so that if he encounters any trouble, he can go find Marquis Weiyuan.

It seems that Marquis Weiyuan knew about his existence, and he only warned him before.

"Master Hou, I am too unconventional." Another Taoist stood up, but his attitude was completely opposite to the previous one.
To be continued...
