The two men were looking at each other.
To be exact, Emperor Yang Zhou was looking at Shangguan Yu closely while he lowered his head slightly. After all, the ministers were not allowed to look directly to the Emperor.
"Alright, you can go."
"Thank you very much Your Majesty. Your Majesty is wise, long life Your Majesty."
Emperor Yang Zhou raised his hand to stop Shangguan Yu's unnecessary praise. "Bring me the report from each city you passed."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"You may go."
Shangguan Yu bowed once more and then the servant was called inside and pulled him out of the study.
Emperor Yang Zhou looked in the direction where Shangguan Yu left and sighed deeply. He truly wondered whether it was the correct decision to allow him to do what he wanted to do.
But after a while, Emperor Yang Zhou shook his head.
He could only do his best.
Whether it was correct or not, only time will tell.
