The entire court was shocked and turned to look.
Dong Zhongshu had left the palace?
Was he really going to the West Region to pray for rain?
This time, people could no longer remain calm. They had thought that His Highness was just a stopgap measure, but in fact, he would plant a backup plan behind the scenes, such as finding another wise man to accompany Dong Zhongshu, because he could not fail.
But he didn't expect Dong Zhongshu to go ahead so quickly. There was no time for him to set up his plan, right?
Even though he knew that Dong Zhongshu had to go, he still felt that it was a little ridiculous to see him walking to the palace gate alone.
The soldiers in the palace also looked over.
At this moment, Dong Zhongshu didn't have any spiritual energy in his body. He was just an ordinary person. How could such a person pray for rain?
No one believed him.
After seeing it with their own eyes, they would find it even more ridiculous!
Some people even felt that Dong Zhongshu was a little pitiful. He was just a sacrifice in the conflict between the Thirteenth Prince and the scholarly faction. If he failed to pray for rain, would His Highness Ying Mo punish him to get rid of his responsibility?
If that was really the case, then it would be too pitiful!
Great Qin's residents started to discuss.
The sergeants, whether they were disciples of the Confucian school or scholars of other schools, all expressed their own opinions. However, the general opinion was that Ying Mo's handling of the matter was extremely inappropriate.
"Thirteenth Prince is too impulsive. He sent a mortal to the West Region to pray for rain. At least he should have sent some soldiers to accompany him. The Dragon King bullies the weak and fears the strong. When he sees the Great Qin's cavalry, he won't dare to resist. But if it's just Dong Zhongshu, it'll be a big joke!”
"This Thirteenth Prince actually used the face of the Great Qin Country as a bargaining chip for the sake of a temporary dispute. This is simply too much. What qualifications does such a person have to occupy the position of Country Supervisor? If he becomes the Crown Prince or even the future Ruler, wouldn't Great Qin be doing the opposite?”
"There's no need to be anxious. The position of the Crown Prince isn't that easy to establish. His Majesty is a man of great talent and great strategy. There must be a deeper meaning behind choosing the Thirteenth Prince this time. However, His Majesty has always followed the hearts of the people. If he really wants to make the Thirteenth Prince the Crown Prince, we can jointly write a letter to report the Thirteenth Prince's absurdity. The public opinion is overwhelming, and His Majesty will definitely not act willfully.”
In City Well, the Humble Class people were also puzzled.
"This is nonsense! Our Great Qin Empire is awe-inspiring, and Qin Shi Huang's achievements surpass the Three Emperors and Five Emperors! He ruled the world and shone in all directions. He was so powerful that even the Heavenly Emperor in the Soaring Heaven King Palace had to be polite. He actually wanted to bow to the Heavenly Court?”
"Asking a powerless mortal to pray for rain is the biggest joke in the world. In my opinion, the Thirteenth Prince clearly let Dong Zhongshu take the blame because he knew that he didn't have the ability to succeed in the autumn rain! At that time, he could push everything onto Dong Zhongshu to clear his name.”
"Makes sense. That must be the case. Otherwise, it's really hard to explain why a mortal would go forward to pray for rain. Wouldn't that make the world laugh at him? So you're an abandoned child!"
"For the sake of a temporary battle for face, you're sending your subordinates to their deaths? If that was the case, then if such a person in power really inherited the throne, he would definitely be a tyrant without any benevolence or righteousness!”
Compared to the commoners, the representatives of the various major forces were all watching coldly.
They were watching the show, but they could not just be bystanders.
Ever since Great Qin had been established, its political power had always been unbreakable.
The Qin Emperor Ying Zheng monopolized the military and political power, and his prestige was comparable to that of the Three Royals and Five Emperors, shocking the ancient times and dazzling the present!
Within and outside the court, any power would submit to the Emperor. Even Zhao Gao, the Confucians, and the other powerful figures would be cautious in front of the Emperor.
Therefore, the various major forces wanted to develop wantonly, but they had never had a suitable opportunity.
But now, the opportunity had come!
The Thirteenth Prince had just started to govern the country, and there was no one under him who would listen to his orders sincerely, so he must be in a hurry.
Once the ruler was in chaos, it would be an opportunity for the subordinate forces!
Therefore, the various forces used the slogan of praying for rain and immediately arranged for their subordinates to make all kinds of preparations. They had laid low for a long time. This time, they would definitely take advantage of the chaos to plant their own forces.
The current leader of the Mo Family, Tian Jiu, was currently analyzing the situation.
Tian Jiu was the founder of the Mo Family and the disciple of Mo Zi. He was unfathomable and instructed his disciple,"
"Inform the disciples that if the Thirteenth Prince fails to pray for rain and is targeted by the scholarly faction, they must help him.”
The person sitting opposite him was Zou Yan, the great master of the Yin-Yang School. Zou Yan glanced at Tian Jiu and said to his disciple,"
"Bring Master Tian Jiu's words to all of us from the Yin-Yang School. When the time comes, we will advance and retreat together with the Mo Family and support the Thirteenth Prince.”
After giving the instructions, the two of them looked at each other and continued playing chess.
Naturally, they didn't really want to help Ying Mo. They just wanted to help him out in times of need. If Ying Mo really gained power in the future, their two families might be able to take advantage of the situation and tie themselves together with Ying Mo.
In this way, he would be able to make good use of Ying Mo's identity and place the Mo and Yin Yang School's forces in the court. One day, he might even be able to compete with the Confucians and Legalists!
The Qin Dynasty's Great General Sima Cuo was one of the leaders of the School of Political Traversing, and his teacher was Guigu 'zi!
He was once in the same sect as the famous Su Qin and Zhang Yi.
He ordered his soldiers,"
"From today onwards, pay close attention to the movements of each family. Report immediately if there are any abnormal movements.”
Sima Cuo sneered.
The Imperial Court might be in chaos now, and Zhao Gao would be badly battered by the remnants of the Six Nations. This was an unprecedented moment of emptiness, and he could also let the disciples of the School of Political Traversing take the opportunity to infiltrate and develop!
Each family had made a big move.
Among the survivors of the Six Nations, Xiang Yu also began to give orders to his subordinates.
Everyone was prepared to move out at any time. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity. Even if they could not overthrow Great Qin, they could use this opportunity to develop and cause chaos in the Qin Dynasty!
Zhao Gao had even stopped his pursuit of the remnants of the six dynasties and recalled his prefecture army. He was also prepared to take the opportunity to make some moves to avenge the humiliation of the imperial court.
Prince Huhai was filled with anticipation, waiting to see Ying Mo make a fool of himself.
All parties were preparing to take advantage of the chaos to gain power. They all thought that the Thirteenth Prince was a pushover.
The world's hustle and bustle come for profit, and the world's chaos goes for profit.
All of the factions only thought about their own benefits and did not really side with Great Qin.
"Squeak ~"
The gate of the palace opened and Dong Zhongshu stepped out.
At this moment, he was filled with a majestic aura as he strode in all directions. He held his head high and puffed out his chest as he walked in front of the gate of the Heavenly Circle. His demeanor was like jade, and all living beings praised him.
What a righteous and awe-inspiring spirit!
Unfortunately, he was just a mortal. Even if he was a great scholar with the style of Confucius and Mencius, he would still age early due to his mortal body and become a sacrifice in the struggle for power.
Dong Zhongshu didn't pay attention to everyone's gazes and went straight into a carriage.
In the next moment, the carriage soared into the sky and flew toward the West Region.
