Lanling City.
In the Imperial Palace, inside the Imperial Study Room.
The Emperor Qin Ziheng was playing chess with the Grand Secretary Ye Ze'an.
On the chessboard, the black and white pieces were interwoven, and the situation was unclear.
Qin Ziheng seemed somewhat distracted, casually placing a piece, then spoke:
"What if the Daluo Sect has already decided to ally with the Buddhists?"
Ye Ze'an didn't ponder for long either, placing a piece and capturing a few of Qin Ziheng's pieces:
"Tai Yu is a person of strategy but not decisive enough, inclined to be conservative; otherwise, he wouldn't have stopped Qing Xu back then."
Qin Ziheng thought for a moment and nodded.
If Tai Yu hadn't stopped Qing Xu back then, though the other side might not necessarily have succeeded, at least there would have been a few more chances.
Of course, if Tai Yu had followed Qing Xu in rebellion back then and failed afterward, the Daluo Sect would have faced extermination!
