The Human Emperor (1-200)

C111: Yao Clan's Father and Son!

After King Song left, the military and academic officials, as well as the old master’s ex-subordinates, followed suit, and the Four Quarters Embassy finally quietened down. At this moment, the sun had already set.

In the previous years, the entire clan should have already started digging in by the wei hour, but as there were too many visitors this year, so the visiting only ended at the you hour.

(wei -> 1300-1500| you -> 1700-1900)

“You brat, it’s already late, so I’ll talk to you the next time. However, the moment I call for you, you better hurry over!”

Before leaving, Second Sister waved her fists threateningly from her carriage.

“Got it. How would I dare to disobey an order from Second Sister?”

Wang Chong smiled.

Only then did Wang Zhu Yan let the matter slip.

The various families rode onto their own carriages and returned in the direction where they came from. Parting the curtains, Wang Chong took one last look at the Four Quarters Pavilion.

Under the shade of the night sky, with the exception of various lanterns here and there, the Four Quarters Embassy was shrouded in darkness.

Wang Chong knew that a storm would soon be raised from here, and it would sweep across the entire royal court. Be it the regional commander policy or the Consort Taizhen incident, the shock waves would surely resound in the Great Tang royal court for a long time to come.

But to Wang Chong, all of these had nothing to do with him.

He had already done all that he could. What that was left wasn’t within his means as a mere child.

“I should also start dealing with the other matters…”

Wang Chong thought. Looking at the Four Quarters Embassy once more, he felt slightly regretful.

Every year, the Sage Emperor would surely appear for grandfather’s birthday banquet, but Wang Chong had never been able to meet him. The Sage Emperor always appeared publicly in the day, but on grandfather’s birthday, the Sage Emperor would only appear in the Four Quarters Embassy after all of the officials and family members have left.

Therefore, for many years, Wang Chong hadn’t been able to meet with the Sage Emperor. In a sense, this was a great regret he harbored in his heart.

“Let’s go, child!”

Mother’s voice sounded from the side, pulling Wang Chong back from his thoughts.

Jya!

The cracking of the whip sounded outside the carriage, and the carriage started moving slowly toward the Wang Family Residence.

When the Erudite Pavilion was bustling with crowds, divided by a towering wall, the west of the Four Quarters Embassy was deathly silent, and not even the slightest light was present.

“All of the Wang Clan members… have left!”

Amidst the darkness, an old voice sounded. It seemed as though he was here from the very beginning, listening to everything.

“Yes, father. They have all left.”

The voice of a middle-aged man echoed with a respectful tone.

Chi!

The sound of a flint striking resounded, and a faint light scattered throughout the room. An oil lamp was lit.

The features of the middle-aged man revealed itself under the faint illumination of the oil lamp, showing a dignified face. One could tell that the person was extraordinary with a single glance.
