The air seemed to have frozen into ice.
The smiling faces of the concubines surrounding Yang Guang instantly froze, as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
Even Yang Guang stared at Kuo Zhong in disbelief.
"What…what did you say?"
After a long time, Yang Guang came back to his senses and asked in disbelief.
He suspected that he had heard wrongly.
"Your Majesty, do you know that your death is coming?”
Kuo Zhong mustered up his courage and said again.
"How dare you!"
Yang Guang slammed the dragon table, and a violent pressure soared into the sky.
"Men, bring this traitor out and kill him.”
Yang Guang was furious. He didn't care about the relationship between Kuo Zhong and Li Shimin and directly gave the order.
"Your Majesty, these words were not said by this lowly person, but by the Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.”
Kuo Zhong, who had been lifted up by two Imperial Army soldiers, hurriedly shouted.
"Tower Master Tianji?"
The anger on Yang Guang's face disappeared immediately, and he said in a deep voice,""Tower Master Tianji said that I am about to die?”
" This matter is of great importance," Kuo Zhong said." How dare I speak nonsense? Your Majesty, please let me go and let me report in detail."”
Yang Guang narrowed his eyes slightly. He first waved his hand to dismiss the imperial guards and then dismissed the concubines.
Only Li Shi Min and the other two were left in the palace.
"Can you tell me now?"
Yang Guang said solemnly.
"Your Majesty."
"Not long ago, the Tower Master of Heavenly Secrets discovered a sudden change in the weather. After careful investigation, it was actually a sign of the death of an emperor.”
"And the Emperor who is about to fall is His Majesty.”
"According to the divination of the heavenly secrets, the Goguryeon diplomatic mission is harboring malicious intentions.”
"There are three Goguryeon assassins among the dancers, intending to assassinate His Majesty during the performance.”
"These three killers are very powerful. Even General Yuwen Huaji could barely stop one of them.”
"Therefore, the divination of the heavenly secrets shows that His Majesty will be assassinated.”
Kuo Zhong was bold but meticulous. Even at this moment, he still reported the facts clearly.
After saying that,
There was no trace of anger on Yang Guang's face. Instead, it was replaced by shock and fear.
If anyone else dared to make such a prediction, Yang Guang would definitely pull it out and cut it without saying anything.
But the Heaven's Secret Tower was different.
The Heaven's Secret Tower's current reputation was already like the sun at noon. Even in those foreign races 'empires, it was also like thunder piercing through the ears.
Yang Guang was in Jiang Du, and there was a golden stone tablet not far away. Naturally, he was very familiar with the Heaven's Secret Tower.
He knew that the Heaven's Secret Tower had the ability to see through the river of time, understand the past and the future, and deduce everything from ancient times to the present.
Now, he suddenly learned that the Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion had predicted that the Great Sui Emperor would die.
Yang Guang only had endless fear and shock in his heart.
In his view, the Heaven's Secret Tower represented heaven's will. Heaven wanted him to die!
"Your Majesty, I believe that this is not a bad thing, but a great thing.”
Xu Zhiling saw Yang Guang's ugly expression and hurriedly went forward to say.
"Something good?"
Yang Guang widened his eyes and stared at Xu Zhiling." Tell me, what's so good about this matter?”
"There is a saying in the art of war: Know the enemy and know yourself, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.”
"If you don't know the other party, you will know yourself.”
"If you don't know yourself and don't know the other, you will definitely lose every battle.”
"The Goguryeon assassins were able to succeed in their assassination because they knew their enemy and themselves.”
"But now that Your Majesty has the Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion to deduce the heavenly secrets as a warning, the enemy is already in the open, and the offensive and defensive situation will naturally be reversed.”
"Right now, the ones who should be afraid should be the Goguryeons.”
"As long as Your Majesty acts in advance, we will be able to capture the Goguryeon assassin in one fell swoop.”
Xu Zhiling said calmly.
Her words woke him up from his dream!
Yang Guang was a smart person to begin with. However, he was in the middle of a trap. When he heard that the Pavilion Master of Heavenly Secrets had predicted that Sui Huang would die, his mood immediately became chaotic.
Now that he heard Xu Zhiling analyze the situation for him, he slowly calmed down.
"You're right, this is a good thing!”
"The heavens did not destroy my Great Sui, so they sent down the Lord of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion to warn me.”
"With the prediction of the Pavilion Master of Heavenly Secrets, the offensive and defensive situation has reversed. It's time for Zhen to perform.”
"Men, get Yuwen Huaji and Dugu Feng to see me immediately!”
Yang Guang's spirit, energy, and spirit had completely recovered, and his sunken eyes contained a domineering aura.
A mere Goguryeon actually dared to send assassins to assassinate the emperor. This was a heaven-defying crime.
In less than 15 minutes, Yuwen Huaji and Dugu Feng rushed over and bowed respectfully.
The four families of the Great Sui Dynasty, Yang, Li, Yuwen, and Dugu, were gathered together.
"May I know why Your Majesty urgently summoned me?”
Yuwen Huaji said in a deep voice.
"I just received a warning from the Pavilion Master of Heavenly Secrets that the Goguryeon diplomatic mission harbors ill intentions and intends to assassinate Your Majesty.”
On the high platform, Yang Guang had completely recovered his calm as he spoke indifferently.
"Tower Master Tianji?"
"I heard that the Tower Master of Heavenly Secrets has remarkable abilities and that the things he said are unfathomable.”
"However, it seems that the Master of the Heaven's Secret Tower never leaves the Heaven's Secret Tower. I wonder how Your Majesty received the warning?”
Lonely Peak asked curiously.
"It was Nephew Li who brought these two people to report to Zhen.”
"If I had waited for your report, I'm afraid I would have been beheaded.”
Yang Guang said in an unfriendly tone.
Yuwen Huaji and Dugu Feng quickly said in unison,""I deserve to die-"
"I will investigate your crimes later.”
"The most important thing right now is to annihilate this group of crafty sycophants with malicious intentions.”
"Dugu Feng, lead the Imperial Army to the station where the Goguryeon envoys are staying and arrest them all.”
"Yuwen Huaji, lead a team of elites to an abandoned manor in the suburbs and capture the three Goguryeon assassins hiding there.”
"Kill anyone who dares to resist!”
Yang Guang said with killing intent.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Yuwen Huaji and Dugu Feng cupped their fists at the same time and left.
Seeing the two of them disappear, Yang Guang seemed to heave a sigh of relief, and his expression relaxed.
"You two are called Kuo Zhong and Xu Zhiling, right?”
"You've done a great job this time, so I'll reward you heavily.”
"Whether you want official positions, gold, silver, or women, I can give them to you.”
Yang Guang said generously.
Xu Zhiling was overjoyed in his heart, but he said on the surface,"This is all thanks to the prediction of the Tower Master of Heavenly Secrets. We were only running errands and passing on messages, so we didn't dare to take credit.”
"The Heaven Secrets Tower Master is a god-like figure. I will personally go to the Heaven Secrets Tower to thank him to show my sincerity.”
"But if it weren't for the two of you, I wouldn't have known about this so quickly.”
"Perhaps by the time I find out, the Goguryeon assassins will have already gone into hiding.”
"Therefore, the contributions of the two of you can't be erased. If you have anything you want, just say it.”
Yang Guang said straightforwardly.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, although the two of us brothers have not read much, we have heard of a saying.”
"This sentence is: The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of every man.”
"Although we brothers are commoners, we have the heart to love our country and the ambition to serve our country.”
"Unfortunately, I have no way to serve my country."
"Therefore, our only wish is to have the opportunity to serve His Majesty, to serve Great Sui!”
"Your Majesty, please give us brothers this chance.”
Kuo Zhong said righteously.
Li Shi Min, who was standing at the side, couldn't help but secretly give him a thumbs up.
This was the first time he had heard someone speak so righteously about 'asking for a reward.'
If Kuo Zhong had not said that he wanted to conquer the world two days ago, he would have almost believed his nonsense.
But Yang Guang liked to hear this.
Originally, Yang Guang only wanted to casually reward them with some things to send them away, but at this time, he had the idea of putting them in an important position.
"Since ancient times, there has been no greater merit than saving the emperor."
"Although the two of you only heard the news, you have the merit of saving the emperor.”
"Since you have the heart to serve the country, I will appoint you as commander-in-chief. From now on, you don't need to report when you enter the palace.”
"This position can only be held by the emperor's trusted aides. I hope you won't disappoint Zhen.”
Yang Guang said seriously.
"Thank you for your reward, Your Majesty."
Kuo Zhong and Xu Zhiling were overjoyed and quickly thanked him.
Heaven's trusted aide!
With this identity, let's see who would dare to bully them.
