Xuanfei and Yuyang waited outside the palace for a long time before they saw a young chamberlain coming out: "Xuanfei, your majesty has invited me."
Yuyang asked first: "Didn't the Holy One say to see me?"
The young chamberlain smiled and said: "Your Majesty has no instructions, please ask Immortal Yuyang to wait here."
Yuyang could only watch Xuanfei go in.
Xuanfei was determined when he heard that the emperor had met him first.
The emperor was willing to see him, which meant he was willing to give him a chance to explain.
That's enough. He didn't lose this quarrel.
"Xiao Dao Xuan Fei, please bow to the Holy One."
The emperor was sitting in the middle and seemed to be drinking medicine. Xuanfei sniffed it gently and his heart sank slightly. This medicine seemed to be used to treat headache. Does the emperor have headache?
After drinking the medicine, the emperor distracted him and said: "Get straight."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The emperor waved his hand and rejected the candied fruit offered by the chamberlain. He took a sip of water and suppressed the medicinal smell before saying: "The elders of the temple have expressed their support for you as the temple master. I can also see that you are better than Yuyang Xiu."
Being profound makes you a more stable person."
Xuanfei didn't answer, he knew there was more to come.
Sure enough, the emperor looked at him twice and continued: "But what you did just now makes it difficult for me to issue this imperial edict."
After hearing this, Xuan Fei's expression remained as usual.
He is not stupid, and he will listen to what others say. Just because the emperor said this does not mean that he will actually give orders before. It is just a way of speaking to create the illusion that he is valued more.
"Why, don't you want to explain?" the emperor asked again.
Xuanfei lowered his head: "Your Majesty is willing to give Xiaodao a chance, and Xiaodao will explain it to you."
The emperor smiled: "Am I the kind of emperor who doesn't let others talk? Just tell me why you did such a thing out of character!"
"Yes." Xuan Fei paused and asked a question first, "May I ask Your Majesty, did Senior Brother Yuyang tell you before that Yao Xing might be a certain person?"
The emperor was noncommittal: "So what if it is? So what if it's not?"
Xuan Fei replied: "The Holy One said so, and it seems to be true. It was Xiaodao who discovered this before and was so furious that he asked Senior Brother Yuyang to explain it clearly."
"I heard about your quarrel." The emperor said calmly, "I met you first, not him, just to give you a chance. There is no need to say those truths in front of me. Regarding this matter, you can also express it.
Be cool!"
Hearing this, Xuan Fei felt a chill in his heart.
What the emperor means is that this is the real test question for choosing who will be the master of the temple. If he answers well, the previous events will not be affected. If he does not answer well, the position of the master of the temple will really be far away from him.
Xuan Fei thought for a moment in his heart and said, "What the Holy Emperor wants to ask is the true identity of Yao Xing? According to Xiaodao's opinion, at this time, Yao Xing should not be concerned about."
"oh?"
Xuan Fei said: "First of all, before the technique of stargazing and fortune-telling is implemented, the identity cannot be determined. It may look like it, but it may not be the case. It seems impossible to hit it, and you may not be sure it will be revealed when the time comes. The demon star appears.
He hasn't revealed his true form yet, but if he goes into a big fight for this, it will be like the prophecy of the heroine Dai Tang, it doesn't matter who he kills, and the one he lets go is the one who really obeys his fate."
He took a breath and continued: "Secondly, as long as the country is prosperous, the demon star will be revealed, and eradicating it is just a word from the Holy Spirit. Taking action at that time is justifiable."
He paused and gave the last reason: "Thirdly, since we have been exposed to this demonic character, it is our Xuanmen who should take action. This is the scope of our responsibilities, and we should not make the Holy Spirit tired."
The emperor only listened to the first two points. He heard these principles countless times. The last point actually made him a little interested.
"Do you think the demon star should be in Xuanmen?"
"Yes." Xuan Fei answered resolutely, "If it were to be in the court, it would probably be a killing star, but it is a demon star. A demon, a heretic. This should not be for the Holy Emperor to take action, but it is the battlefield of our Xuanmen."
The emperor nodded slowly and asked another question: "If there is a person here who makes me confused, what do you think should be done?"
Xuan Fei didn't even think about it: "The Holy One has all the power, so why should he worry about his subordinates? His glory, wealth, high official and salary are all in the Holy One's mind. If the Holy One doesn't like it, just take it back."
The emperor smiled: "What you said is really against the principles of being a minister."
Xuan Fei said: "Xiao Dao is not a minister of the state. We, Xuandu Guan, guard the destiny of the country and only obey the people on the throne. Others have nothing to do with us."
Hearing this, the emperor smiled even deeper. After thinking for a while, he asked again: "But the person I'm talking about is not easy to put on the surface..."
Xuanfei still did not hesitate: "Since it is not easy to show it to the public, why should the Holy One care about it? If you value it, he can show it. If you don't value it, he is nothing."
The emperor was slightly startled, silently thought about this sentence twice, and asked uncertainly: "Do you know who Yuyang is talking about?"
"I don't know, Xiaodao. No matter who it is, Xiaodao doesn't agree with what Senior Brother Yuyang did."
The emperor laughed out loud: "You are so young and energetic. In the past, I saw you being very steady when you were with the Imperial Master. I didn't expect that there would be times when you couldn't hold your breath."
Xuanfei bowed his head and apologized: "I have disappointed the Holy One."
The emperor was not angry and waved his hand: "Okay, you can go back."
Xuanfei was stunned for a moment: "Your Majesty, what about this matter..."
"I know it well."
Xuanfei had no choice but to resign.
As he walked out of the palace, he heard Yuyang asking the young chamberlain: "Is your Majesty going to see me?"
The young chamberlain said: "Your Majesty said that Immortal Yuyang has been tired for a long time today, so he should go back and rest. This is just a small matter, don't worry about it."
Yuyang was stunned for a moment, unable to figure out what it meant. He chased the young eunuch and asked, "Eunuch, your Majesty wants to..."
Xuanfei didn't listen anymore and walked out of the temporary dormitory.
He thought over his proposal from beginning to end, and felt that there was nothing wrong, so he went back to sleep peacefully. He did not talk to Mingwei, but went to talk to someone right after the interview. Doesn't it mean that he has a guilty conscience?
In the room, the emperor asked Wan Dabao: "Do you think what he said is right?"
Wan Dabao smiled and said: "How can I understand these important things? However, I know that the Holy One is merciful."
The emperor nodded at him and laughed: "You're an old fool who only knows how to talk!"
…
After returning from the back mountain, Yang Shu sent her outside the hospital and went back.
Mingwei walked to the door, but paused.
"gentlemen?"
There was a sound of "um" in his ears, and Ning Xiu's figure slowly emerged from the night.
Mingwei looked at him: "Do you have something to say?"
Ning Xiu looked back and looked more carefully, from head to toe, several times.
"Sir?" Mingwei wondered, what's the big deal with him acting like this?
Finally, Ning Xiu spoke: "You just asked, his real horoscope?"
