After what seeht when Eunuch Gao believed that he would not be able to hear an answer, the great hall resounded with that revered and dignified voice
"The southwest… It’s not the right tie Emperor’s voice, Eunuch Gao h
"Is it still because of that child…&8221;
These words were earth-shattering, and if any of the ministers of the court were present, they would definitely have been stupefied The southas on the brink of crisis, yet the Sage Emperor continued to express no stance The heavens were unfathomable and the Imperial Court’s conjectures were fruitless, yet no one would have expected everything to be related to a single youth
The great hall was quiet, without a single noise Beneath the , as towering as the mountains, as distant as the stars No one knehat the supre, not even Gao Lishi
Although he knewhas its allotted destiny! Whether it is or it is not, ill quickly find out…&8221;
Behind the curtains, the Sage Emperor did not directly reply to the questions, but these words were enough of an admission
"But Your Majesty, can five thousand soldiers really change the fate of the southwest? Geluofeng is working together with Dalun Ruozan! The Mengshe–Ü-Tsang army numbers more than five hundred thousand!&8221;
Eunuch Gao pressed his forehead against the ground as he kneeled, the distress evident in his voice
After serving His Majesty for decades, Gao Lishi had never ie Emperor But the matter of the southwest involved tens of thousands of soldiers and nearly oneplaced on a single youth, to place their hopes on a hotheaded force that didn’t know its own strength, wouldn’t they be treating the southwest as a ame?
The hall was quiet, with no response
Gao Lishi felt panicked, cold sweat seeping fro sweaty This was the first tie Emperor, but as the eunuch who directed the affairs of the Inner Court and one of the Emperor’s retainers, there were some words that he had to say
"In this world, there is nothing that is iet how We ascended to the throne?&8221;
"Ah!&8221;
As if given a jolt, Gao Lishi suddenly raised his head
He naturally kne the Sage En of the Nine and Five No one had viewed the Sage Emperor optimistically back then, and none of the other princes had ever paid hie Ee a resplendent and flourishing Great Tang, beco the Emperor beloved by all
Gao Lishi had also not expected the Sage Ehly of that child that he would coed him When the results from the southwest arehas its destiny Yuanyi, all you need to know is that it is destined that We have favored hih Noithdraw!&8221;
With his last words, that supreme existence behind the curtains had spoken Gao Lishi’s layman name
Everyone knew of Eunuch Gao, Gao Lishi, yet few people knew that before Eunuch Gao entered the palace, he had the surna’ ‘Yuanyi’ was his actual birth name
His Majesty rarely spoke his layman name, but once he did, it meant that the conversation was over
"Yes, Your Majesty! Your lowly servant withdraws!&8221;
Gao Lishi didn’t dare to further argue, and obediently took his leave
After leaving the hall, Gao Lishi stood on the jade steps, gazing at the dazzling golden walls of the Inner Court, his h he had already seen His Majesty and received an answer, Gao Lishi’s doubts had only increased, not decreased
The southwest, the southwest… Ah, His Majesty’sYan, I hope that your youngest son won’t disappoint His Majesty!
With this thought, Gao Lishi quickly descended the jade steps and left the Taiji Palace
He had an even more i the Taiji Palace, no one knew that an even more iht of the setting sun, a flight of carrier pigeons flew in froeons flew over the southalls, over the s and roofs to enter the Imperial Palace
