Chapter 195 The Emperor's Questioning

In the imperial capital, the legend of two strange phenomena occurring in one day spread among the people.

As the instigators, Tian Yiheng and Wei Zheng, were taken away by the shadow the moment they finished writing and handed in their papers, and went to meet the emperor.

The arrival of Shadow also directly shocked the villains hiding in the dark.

After the vision ended, Chu Mo did not choose to wait for Tian Yiheng and the others. As it was already late, he found an excuse to leave the palace and asked Sun Long to go back and report.

Moreover, now that Tian Yiheng and Wei Zheng have attracted the emperor's attention, he needs to be more cautious and play the role of a good friend.

Inside the Taiji Hall, Tang Tiansheng sat on the dragon throne, with Shadow and Ghost standing beside him, while Tian Yiheng and Wei Zheng stood respectfully below.

Tang Tiansheng looked at the two of them carefully and said, "Haha, good, you two gentlemen really live up to the reputation of being talented. Not only do you have the ability to induce strange phenomena, but you are also very handsome. It is my honor to have your assistance."

Tian Yiheng and Wei Zheng said respectfully, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. We still have a lot to learn, and we don't know much about being an official. If we are lucky enough to serve in the court, we will need the help of our colleagues."

Tang Tiansheng laughed when he heard this and said, "You two gentlemen are joking. With your talents, how could you lose to a little official's way?"

"By the way, I heard that the two gentlemen knew each other and came to the imperial capital together. Is this true?"

Tian Yiheng said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I do know Xuancheng, but we only met in Qizhou. We later had a very pleasant conversation and became close friends."

Tang Tiansheng pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh, then where are you from, sir? Where is your ancestral home?"

Although Tang Tiansheng had secret guards monitoring the world, this time the secret guards only found out where the two people appeared, but could not find any trace of their life, as if they appeared out of thin air.

Tang Tiansheng had many questions and puzzles about this phenomenon.

Of course, he was just asking and would not easily believe their answers.

Tian Yiheng on the other side remained calm on the surface, but he had already been thinking about a lot of things. After a moment of silence, he replied: "Your Majesty, I lost my parents when I was young, so I don't know where my ancestral home is. I was adopted by my master when I was young, and it was my master who led me to the path of cultivation."

"My master said that I was a lonely man, just like me. He took me in out of pity and brought me to a place where few people go. Later, I learned from a friend that it was a remote place on the border of Haozhou, called the Soul-Breaking Desert."

"My master passed away when I was an adult. After burying him, I decided to observe mourning for him for three years to thank him for his kindness."

"The mourning period just ended a while ago. When I was about to go out to learn about the outside world, I happened to encounter a severe sandstorm. Fortunately, a friend rescued me and I was spared. It was from him that I learned a lot of things."

"We had a great conversation along the way. It was also under the persuasion of my friend that I came here to participate in the Ascension Plan."

Tian Yiheng spoke eloquently and with solid arguments, and Tang Tiansheng felt relieved a little.

Because the information sent by the secret guards did say that there had been a strong sandstorm in the Soul-Breaking Desert, and many places were in ruins.

So he said, "I'm sorry, I was rude, please accept my condolences, sir."

Then Tang Tiansheng looked at Wei Zheng and asked, "Sir, where are you from? Where is your ancestral home?"

Wei Zheng was naturally well prepared and said directly: "Your Majesty, I am from Weijia Village, Dai County, Qizhou. Weijia Village was robbed by bandits in the early years, and the people fled in all directions and have long been scattered everywhere."

"I wanted to seek revenge, so I decided to travel around the world. I didn't expect that I would have an opportunity. I was so happy that I practiced and studied day and night. I have made some achievements."

"When I learned that the emperor was holding the Ascension Plan, I wanted to come here to participate, but I accidentally entered a school, and was noticed by the dean there, who accepted me as his apprentice."

Tang Tiansheng knocked on the dragon throne silently and memorized the name of Weijia Village in his heart.

At the same time, he pretended to be angry and said, "It is really absurd that such a thing could happen. I will investigate this matter thoroughly, give justice to the deceased, and give you an answer."

Wei Zheng smiled and said, "The dead are gone, I don't want to disturb the rest of the dead souls. As for the bandits, I have also inquired about them. They have been surrounded and suppressed by the local government. If the emperor wants to investigate, he should file a record."

Seeing the two men's nonchalant look, Tang Tiansheng knew that there was nothing wrong with what they said, but his origins were mysterious, which made him a little worried.

So he asked again: "Sir, you said that you once had someone as your teacher. I wonder who that person is? To be considered a teacher by someone like you, he must be no ordinary person."

Wei Zheng said very respectfully: "Your Majesty should know my master, it is Yan Wenchang, the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion."

Upon hearing this, Tang Tiansheng laughed out loud and said, "Great, I didn't expect that Mr. Wei Zheng is actually a disciple of Master Yan. He is truly better than his teacher."

"Although your master and I are the emperor and the minister in the court, we are close friends in private. It's a pity that your master's lifelong wish is to write books and later he resigned from his post three times with me. He is a man of great perseverance. I hope you can learn from your master."

Wei Zheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will definitely learn from you."

Because of Yan Wenchang, Tang Tiansheng's attitude towards Wei Zheng changed, and he liked Wei Zheng more and more.

After chatting for a while, Tang Tiansheng smiled and said, "Well, I am sorry for delaying your rest today. Your friends must be getting impatient, and I am a little tired, so let's stop here today."

Tian Yiheng and Wei Zheng said respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave now."

After saying that, he was taken out of the hall by the Golden Dragon Guards, escorted out of the palace, and finally taken to the inn they had rented.

The Golden Dragon Guard remained silent all the way, not giving the two men any chance to strike up a conversation. After sending them to their destination, he turned around and left without any delay.

All of this was seen by the innkeeper. Looking at the expression on the face of the Golden Dragon Guard as he left, the boss mistakenly thought that Tian Yiheng and Wei Zheng had made a big mistake. He was afraid that it would affect the inn's business, and his smart eyes sparkled.

Seeing the two people coming in, the shopkeeper quickly stopped them and said, "You two, you two, didn't you participate in the Ascension Plan? It's only been a day, why are you back?"

Wei Zheng and Tian Yiheng saw through their boss's plan at a glance. It was obvious that the boss regarded them as those unscrupulous students who had appeared in the examination hall, and was worried that the matter would be exposed and affect his business.

The two of them just looked at him quietly, waiting for the boss's answer.

"My dear guests, there is something wrong with your room and it needs repair. I'm afraid you will have to find a new place to stay. Don't worry, our inn is run conscientiously and is willing to refund all your expenses."

Tian Yiheng had a hint of sarcasm on his face, but he still smiled and said, "Since the shopkeeper has said so, my two brothers naturally have nothing to say. Let's go upstairs, pack up our things and leave. What do you think, boss?"

The boss said happily: "Okay, okay, wait, I will refund all the accommodation fees now."

Looking at the boss's anxious look, it seemed as if he was afraid of going back on his word.
