C467 Tian Yuan Guo Shi (1/2)
The emperor of the Tianyuan Empire brought Yang Yong and Yang Feng to his royal study, then impatiently asked Yang Yong what was going on. Although due to the fact that the Yang family held the military power of the empire, the emperor still trusted the Yang family a lot. After all, the Yang family could be said to be loyal and virtuous for generations.
And as long as each generation of emperors had the support of the Yang family, then inheriting the throne was certain. Therefore, every generation of princes and princes of the Tianyuan Empire were on good terms with the young generation of the Yang family, betting on the Yang family to ascend to the throne of the Tianyuan Empire.
The Emperor of this generation was the one who had a good relationship with Yang Yong, and Yang Yong was the only one of the Yang family's younger generation who survived on the battlefield and took the seat of the family head. Naturally, with Yang Yong's support, the Emperor was able to ascend to the throne.
After Yang Yong followed the emperor to the imperial study, he heard the emperor address him as ”Big Brother Yang”. A self-deprecating smile appeared on Yang Yong's face before he turned to the emperor and said, ”Big Brother Yang?!” Hehe, this is the first time since His Majesty ascended to the throne that he has called me that, right?! ”
After the Emperor heard Yang Yong's words, his face immediately flushed red. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything. This was because the Emperor really had nothing to say. It was a fact that he ascended to the throne with the support of Yang Yong. After he ascended to the throne, he also had a taboo towards the Yang family.
However, no matter what kind of person they used to be, they would still change once they got to this position. The Emperor had nothing to defend himself with and did not want to defend himself. That was the truth. Even if he did defend himself, he would not be able to change anything.
Yang Yong saw that the Emperor didn't say anything, so he didn't care. He didn't think that the Emperor would say anything to him because of this. In the end, they were still monarchs. Yang Yong looked at the Emperor, and said to him, ”Your Majesty, the Yang Feng you are looking at, is really not my son. My son Yang Feng has indeed been killed.”
Yang Yong then told the empire what Yang Long, Yang Hu, and the Yang family's secret hall had discovered. When the Emperor heard Yang Yong's words, he didn't say anything in the beginning. Instead, he instructed the old eunuch at his side before the old eunuch walked out. Not long after, he brought in a man covered in black clothes.
This person was obviously a spy from the imperial family. The Yang family had their own intelligence agency, and the imperial family also had its own spy. After this spy entered, the Emperor asked him, ”Two days ago, did a huge fireball fall into the Setting Sun Forest?”
The spy kneeling on the ground told the Emperor, ”Reporting to Your Majesty, this matter is indeed true. It's just that when your subordinate went to investigate, we did not discover anything.”
When the emperor heard the spy's words, he immediately flew into a rage, ”Bastard, why didn't you report such a thing to me?!”
The spy clearly did not expect the emperor to be angry over such a matter. He immediately crawled onto the ground and said to the emperor, ”Your Majesty, please forgive me. It is because I did not discover anything else that I did not report to you.”
When the Emperor knew of this matter, he did not need to report it to his spies. However, what happened today was related to whether or not Yang Yong's third son had actually died. Thus, he had to make clear what had happened. If what Yang Yong said could be proven to be true, and his son was indeed killed, then the person in front of him would not be the real Yang Feng. And what this Yang Feng did, would not have anything to do with the Yang Family.
For the Yang family, the emperor didn't want to provoke them. After all, such a loyal and courageous duke who helped him ascend to the throne and was loyal to the Empire was the backbone of the empire. Against the Yang family, it was equivalent to him pushing the Tianyuan Empire into decline.
It was just that today, Yang Feng had done such a thing in front of all the civil and military officials, yet the Empire's Emperor had no way of not finding out if what Yang Yong said was true or not. Otherwise, his dignity in front of the Minister of Civil and Martial Arts would not exist anymore.
The Emperor continued to ask the spy, ”Other than the fireball incident, have you discovered anything else?!”
After the spy on the ground heard the Emperor's words, he immediately said to the Emperor, ”Reporting to Your Majesty, my men have also found a new grave, and …” ”Also.”
The spy could not continue on his words. His eyes that were crawling on the ground glanced at Yang Yong, who was standing at the side. Yang Yong immediately understood what the spy wanted to say. Yang Yong's face immediately changed, and he asked the spy in a stern voice: ”And what?! Could it be that you all have opened anemofeng's tomb?
After saying that, Yang Yong kicked the back of the spy, who was sent tumbling a few times before stopping, spitting out large mouthfuls of blood. However, he immediately turned around and kneeled on the ground, and said with difficulty to Yang Yong, ”Please forgive me, sir. The subordinate did not know that it was the third young master's tomb, and only found out after opening it.”
Although Yang Yong angrily kicked the spy and calmed down after hearing his words, his trembling body displayed the anger within his heart.
