"Xiaojiu, have I been too indulgent with you?" Emperor Mingjing spoke sharply, "How dare you make decisions on My behalf?"
"Your Majesty sees clearly, I have not." Yu Yang looked up, "As the ruler of a nation, every move you make affects all the subjects, and many, due to Your Majesty being high above, try every possible means to deceive Your Majesty's eyes, using Your Majesty's trust to seek benefits for themselves. In the end, Your Majesty is the one to take the blame."
"Enough!" Emperor Mingjing halted Yu Yang.
The palace attendants all knelt down, trembling in fear, unable to withstand the Emperor Mingjing's thunderous wrath.
Yet Yu Yang still knelt with a straight back, not shrinking back in the face of Emperor Mingjing's anger.
After a while, Emperor Mingjing waved his hand to signal the attendants to leave.
Yu Yang knew, his words had been heard.
Then, Emperor Mingjing allowed Yu Yang to rise.
