Two hours later, all the courtiers, big and small, who had been summoned from their respective official residences, yamen, and even restaurants outside, gathered in the Hall of Public Announcement.
This included the ministers, the Hall of Governmental Affairs, the three provincial governors, the six ministers, and the marquises in the capital. They all sat in the hall.
Everyone's expression was solemn.
The person who summoned them did not explain why the emperor had suddenly called them all over, but for so many people to be summoned to the Xuanzheng Hall for a meeting, something big must have happened.
Some people carefully observed Zhang Liang, Zhou Yu, and the others sitting in front. These people were all trusted aides of the Son of Heaven. Perhaps they knew something.
However, Zhang Liang and the others all closed their eyes in deep thought. There was no expression on their faces, and no one could tell whether they were happy or angry.
Finally, a eunuch sang," The Sage is here!”，Bai Musheng slowly walked to the front hall and sat down.
Everyone immediately stood up and bowed.
"Greetings, Your Majesty. Your Majesty's Changle is still in its infancy!””””
"Everyone, please excuse the formalities."
Bai Musheng returned the greeting and gestured for everyone to sit down.
After taking a seat, Zhang Liang, who was now the head of the officials in the imperial court, asked,""May I know what instructions Your Majesty has for us to come?”
He was also a little confused.
Didn't they say that Tian Zi was ill?
Why did he suddenly call so many people over?
Although she knew that Bai Musheng was definitely the one who released the fake news about Tian Zi's illness, why did he suddenly gather so many people here?
Like the others, he was observing Bai Musheng.
In everyone's eyes, Bai Musheng's face was a little pale and there were even dark circles under his eyes.
Some people who did not understand the reason muttered to themselves. It seemed that even if Tian Zi was not ill, he must have encountered something.
Taking in everyone's expressions, Bai Musheng's face was emotionless, but he was sneering in his heart.
Initially, he wanted to announce that he was sick to the public and give those who were in cahoots with King An a glimmer of hope. He wanted them to mistakenly believe that he had indeed been injured or poisoned in the assassination last night. Now, it seemed that he had a better way.
As for being ill, it could be because of an assassination, or it could be because of a small price to pay for receiving the Apocalypse and knowing the disaster that was about to happen in the future, right?
No matter what they thought or did, Bai Musheng was already in an invincible position.
Because that disaster would really come.
He had never doubted Zhu Menghuang's words.
Bai Musheng swept his gaze across the crowd and said,""Last night, I entered a dream and saw that in the near future, Jiangnan's eastern road, Mingzhou, Taizhou, and other places would be in great disaster. The storm destroyed countless city walls, and the disaster victims wailed everywhere. The soldiers and civilians suffered heavy casualties.”
"I have already summoned the Imperial Astronomical Supervisor to inquire. The day before yesterday, when he observed the stars, the Seven Star Necklace was quite abnormal. The host country had an urgent matter!”
When the officials heard this, their hearts trembled.
Some people didn't believe it, but when they thought of the situation when the emperor ascended the throne, their hearts wavered.
Some people believed in it and began to ponder how to resolve this upcoming disaster.
There were even people who started to think about how to use this matter to achieve some of their unspeakable goals.
Bai Musheng took in everyone's expressions and knew what was going on. He added,"All of you are wise and knowledgeable. You are familiar with the past and history. I wonder if there is any other explanation?”
Such a consultation was necessary. Bai Musheng needed to seek the opinions of the officials, even if it was just a formality.
Sometimes, politics was like this. Even if you had already won, you still needed to put in some effort.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to see any clues in a short period of time. As time went by, he would definitely be deserted by everyone.
Others might not be able to resist because of your absolute strength, but you can forget about making them work for you sincerely.
Bai Musheng didn't wish for his future subjects to be forced to take action because of his intimidation. That would only greatly reduce their efficiency.
He needed these people to move and take the initiative to do things.
This way, the courtiers would be satisfied and Bai Musheng would be able to relax and enjoy himself.
There was no need to pay any price. A show could exchange for a group of officials full of subjective initiative to do things. Why not?
When the ministers heard this, they looked at each other.
No one had a good idea about this matter.
Because no one dared to deny such a mysterious thing.
Even though this world had completely deviated after the Shang Dynasty, and there was no such thing as King Wen's Dream of Flying Bears in history, there were similar things that happened in place of him, and they were written in black and white in the annals of history.
Should he acknowledge it?
These Confucian officials who had read a lot of books exchanged glances.
Although the history of this world had deviated, the Hundred Schools of Philosophy had also appeared in an era similar to the late Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
After that, he continued on the path of the scholarly faction dominating the world.
You don't talk about ghosts and gods.
If such a thing was really approved, what would happen to these officials?
After a while, everyone's eyes fell on Zhang Liang again.
At such a time, it was natural for Zhang Liang, the Prime Minister, to speak on their behalf.
After thinking for a long time, Zhang Liang said worriedly,"Official Fang reports to Your Majesty. First, there was a warning from the heavens. Then, there was a change in the weather. Your Majesty should quickly make a decision.”
After saying that, Zhang Liang bowed respectfully to Bai Musheng three times.
What he meant was-Your Majesty, we are all fools. We'll do whatever you say!
It seemed like he had no opinion, but who was Zhang Liang?
Having followed Bai Musheng for so long, he knew very well that since Bai Musheng had said so, he must have absolute confidence.
At this time, there was no need for officials like them to stir up trouble. They only needed to follow the wise emperor obediently and listen to his orders. When the emperor pointed out the target, they would then charge forward and die.
All the credit goes to Tian Zi! As officials, they only needed to share some of their hard work and leave their names in the history books in the future!
Moreover, Zhang Liang instantly thought of the impact that these things could bring.
When this news was released, what would some people with ulterior motives do?
If they respected the emperor's orders and really went to provide disaster relief, the greatest credit would fall on the wise emperor when the natural disaster came. With the emperor's prestige expanding infinitely, they would never be able to turn the tables.
If they were to disobey and cause trouble, then the Son of Heaven would have a reason to start a massacre. The Son of Heaven had already warned them, but you scum ruined the great event and caused countless people to suffer. If you don't die, who will?
No matter how they looked at it, no matter what they did, Tian Zi would obtain the final victory.
The premise was that the hurricane had to come!
Thinking of this, Zhang Liang couldn't help but feel worried.
Was Tian Zi's prediction true?
