At the same time.
In other places in Xianyang City.
Prime Minister Li Si's residence.
Li Si, who was dressed in a scholarly and loose robe, looked like a storyteller. He had a scholarly air about him, and no one would think that he, who looked so weak, was above everyone else in the imperial court.
Even Zhao Gao, who was in charge of the network and was a favorite in the eyes of the First Emperor, was inferior to Li Si in the court.
The status of the two was not on the same level.
At this moment.
Li Si stood by the window in the study.
Goatskin scrolls were hung high on the walls of the study. On them were some famous sayings and insights that he had personally written. They were hung on the walls around the room, filling the entire study with a thick smell of books.
Li Si raised his head and looked up at the sky with a slightly troubled expression. He looked through the window at the dark clouds in the sky, and the worry in his eyes did not dissipate.
"Xianyang, which has not seen a drop of water for two months, has welcomed a heavy downpour for the first time. Moreover, looking at the heavy rain, it was very likely that it would continue until tomorrow.”
"In this case, I'm afraid that tomorrow's worship will be hindered. It was even very likely that it would cause the worship ceremony to be postponed.”
Li Si thought about it and shook his head.
Based on his understanding of the First Emperor Ying Zheng's character.
He was basically certain.
It was impossible for the First Emperor to delay the day of the worship ceremony.
After all.
The date had been set long ago, and it was solemnly announced to the world. If they changed the time, how would the world view Great Qin? How should he view the First Emperor?
Based on the analysis, Li Si was certain.
The First Emperor would never allow the sacrifice to be delayed or for any accidents to happen.
However…
This sudden downpour was indeed the will of the heavens. No matter how unwilling the First Emperor was, it would be difficult to change the fact that Heaven was not willing.
"I only hope…"
"If this downpour continues until tomorrow and causes the worship ceremony to be delayed, I only hope that the First Emperor will not vent his anger on others.”
Li Si smiled bitterly.
Undeserved disaster!
At that time, everyone in the court would most likely be involved in this undeserved disaster and be angered by the First Emperor.
Of course.
If he had to find a scapegoat for this matter.
Then there was a perfect scapegoat.
That was…
The new Imperial Advisor of the Great Qin Empire!
The most likely target of the First Emperor's anger was the Great Qin Imperial Advisor, Zhang Ye!
Li Si knew this very well.
After all.
Just as he appointed him as Great Qin's Imperial Advisor and prayed to the heavens on behalf of Great Qin, he was suddenly met with a heavy downpour that had only happened two months ago.
Wasn't this the will of the heavens?
If they had to pursue the matter…
The first to bear the brunt was Zhang Ye!
Perhaps the other party would even be called a jinx! The person who brought bad luck to the Great Qin Empire!
In short.
Something similar was very likely to happen.
Li Si felt that he had to make the necessary preparations to prevent himself from being caught up in the situation and being helpless.
" I hope this rain won't last until tomorrow…"
Li Si could only think so now.
……
On the other side.
Yichun Palace in Xianyang Palace.
This was where Fu Su, the eldest son of Great Qin, lived.
Fu Su, the eldest son of Great Qin, had the same worries as Li Si.
"This rain is too inappropriate.”
Fu Su's face darkened.
It didn't come early or late, but it just had to wait until the day of the worship ceremony when a heavy rain suddenly came.
It was hard not to worry.
Even though the First Emperor wouldn't vent his anger on him, Fu Su still cared about the Great Qin Empire. He was worried that if this ceremony was delayed, it was very likely that someone with ulterior motives would have something to use against them. This would affect the tens of millions of people in the empire and cause a series of chaos.
These were all very likely to happen.
In recent years,
All kinds of natural and man-made disasters kept happening in the empire, causing the people to be in dire straits. Tens of millions of people were suffering, and their prestige towards the empire plummeted.
Under such circumstances.
If someone with ulterior motives used the matter of worshipping the heavens as a topic, such as the remnants of the six dynasties and the anti-Qin elements like the Mo family, using this matter as a reason to bewitch the people, it was very likely that it would trigger a rebellion in some places.
This was what Fu Su was most worried about.
At the same time.
Fu Su could not help but worry about the new Imperial Advisor.
The existence that the outside world called suspected to be an immortal!
If the worship ceremony was delayed…
His father scolded him.
The person who had to bear the greatest responsibility was undoubtedly Zhang Ye, the new Imperial Advisor of Great Qin.
After he became the state preceptor…
Coincidentally, Xianyang City had its first downpour in two months!
Coincidentally, it happened to be the time when the Heaven Sacrifice was about to be held.
If they didn't ask Zhang Ye to take responsibility, who would?
Even if Ying Zheng didn't blame him, Fu Su had a premonition that all the officials in the court would definitely target Zhang Ye and gang up on him in order to shirk their responsibility.
Inside,
Zhao Gao must be the main person who would bear the brunt!
The two sides had already formed a feud.
If the worship ceremony had to be postponed, Zhao Gao would definitely jump out and hold Zhang Ye accountable.
At that time.
With the first person to blame Zhang Ye, the officials would naturally take action.
At that time, the fate of that State Preceptor Zhang Ye would probably be extremely miserable.
A person who was besieged by all the officials…
One did not need to imagine too much to guess what the outcome would be.
"State Preceptor Zhang Ye…"
"I hope your luck isn't too bad.”
"I also hope that this downpour won't last until tomorrow. Otherwise, State Preceptor Zhang Ye will be in big trouble. When the time comes, all the officials will attack you and you will become the scapegoat!”
"Becoming the main culprit of the officials shirking their responsibilities! Even if Imperial Father doesn't blame you, you won't be able to continue standing firm in the Imperial Court.”
Fu Su could not help but sigh.
He suddenly felt worried about Zhang Ye's situation.
What a pity.
He clearly thought highly of Zhang Ye.
However…
Fate is playing tricks on me ~
Who would have thought?
This downpour was so coincidental!
It was just in time for the most critical period!
The other party's luck was really too bad.
……
Today's heavy rain not only brought joy and joy to the thousands of people in Xianyang City, but also brought an undercurrent to Xianyang City.
What Li Si and Fu Su were worried about was happening step by step!
I don't know when I got up.
Rumors started to spread in Xianyang City…
These rumors were still in their growth stage.
However, once these rumors broke out…
That would definitely be earth-shattering!
It had the power to destroy everything!
In short.
The entire Xianyang City had become turbulent.
It was not obvious on the surface.
But in reality,
In the dark, waves after waves of violent waves had already been set off.
……
Time passed quietly.
In a flash.
The next day.
The next day.
East of Xianyang City.
Zhang Manor.
Zhang Ye, who had no idea what was going on in the outside world, began his daily check-in session.
This was the eighth check-in.
Yesterday, he had signed in for a full week and triggered a double critical strike reward.
And today,
The check-in returned to its original state.
Originally, Zhang Ye did not have too much anticipation.
Unexpectedly.
Today's check-in had brought him a pleasant surprise.
" System, begin signing in."
As Zhang Ye's thoughts fell.
Instantly,
The system notification immediately sounded in his head.
The sign-in was successful!
Congratulations, host. The reward for signing in this time is one of the Seventy-two Techniques of the Earth Fiend, the Divine Power of Praying for Clear Sky!
Does the host wish to immediately fuse with this divine power?
