Xianyang City.
Zhao Manor.
This was the residence of the famous Zhongche Prefecture Magistrate, Zhao Gao.
It was dark red in color and made of precious wood. It was towering and steep, and it seemed to stand above the clouds. The design was extremely ancient and full of charm, as if it had followed the ancient style of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties.
It was located on the highest floor of the attic.
Zhao Gao stood with his hands behind his back, standing at the edge of the wooden fence of the attic. His pair of sharp and deep eyes allowed him to check the movements of the Xianyang Palace at any time.
The Zhao Residence was not too far away from Xianyang Palace.
At the same time.
Every time he stood at the top of the pavilion, as long as he opened his arms, Zhao Gao had the illusion that he could hold the entire Xianyang in his arms at any time.
That satisfaction…
A sense of accomplishment.
Zhao Gao was deeply infatuated, intoxicated, and unable to extricate himself.
Zhao Gao, who was in charge of the Empire's most terrifying intelligence organization, had become more and more trusted by the First Emperor in recent years. His status had also risen, and he was now high and mighty in the royal court.
With the strategy of suppressing enemies and recruiting allies, Zhao Gao even managed to recruit a large number of officials in the imperial court, becoming a powerful figure in the imperial court.
As long as it was not a matter of life and death for the empire, the interest group of officials led by Zhao Gao had the power to lead the matter!
Even Prime Minister Li Si, who was second only to one person and above tens of thousands of people, would not easily provoke the interest group led by Zhao Gao.
However…
Two days ago, Zhao Gao had lost all his face in the imperial court and was ruthlessly slapped in the face, causing the prestige he had painstakingly established in the imperial court to plummet.
This matter became a thorn in Zhao Gao's heart, stabbing at his heart all the time. Every night, he would wake up as if he had a nightmare.
"Zhang Ye!"
Zhao Gao gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot as he shouted out the name that he hated so much.
If it wasn't for the other party, he wouldn't have lost face in the imperial court and the prestige he had worked so hard to build.
In fact.
The reason why Zhao Gao hated Zhang Ye so much was no longer limited to the fact that Zhang Ye had snatched away the position of the Yin Yang School's worshiper.
As the Hatred Points increased, Zhao Gao's hatred for Zhang Ye had already penetrated deep into his bones. It was no longer because of other reasons, but because of the loss of face.
The relationship between the two sides had developed to the point where they were like fire and water. It had developed into a grudge between Zhao Gao and Zhang Ye.
As for the Yin-Yang School, which was the main cause of their enmity, they had long since retreated from the grudge between the two of them and successfully pulled themselves out.
"If I don't take revenge…"
"I swear I'm not human!"
Every time he recalled how Zhang Ye had publicly slapped him in the Imperial Court, causing Zhao Gao to lose face, he wished he could cut Zhang Ye into eight pieces and kill him. He gritted his teeth in hatred.
Coincidentally,
At this moment, Zhao Gao had found a chance to take revenge!
It was simply a godsend!
It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
"Good, good, good!"
Zhao Gao's eyes sparkled with excitement as he looked at the pouring rain outside the pavilion.
Looking into the distance, the sky was still covered with dark clouds.
The rain continued to pour.
It would probably last for at least a day or two.
This made Zhao Gao ecstatic.
"This rain is too coincidental!”
"It couldn't have been earlier or later, but it had to be on the day that Zhang Ye was about to represent Great Qin in the Heaven Worship Ceremony. Suddenly, a heavy downpour that lasted for several days came.”
"This is fate!"
"Even the heavens can't stand it!”
"Zhang Ye, this time, I will definitely destroy your reputation!”
Zhao Gao grinned hideously, his expression gradually turning cold and sinister.
Originally, he really couldn't think of a plan to deal with Zhang Ye in a short period of time.
After all.
During this period of time, Zhang Ye, who had just been appointed as the new Imperial Advisor of the Great Qin Empire, was like the sun in the sky. His power was monstrous, and he was the most favored person in the eyes of the First Emperor.
It was definitely unwise to provoke Zhang Ye now.
Even Zhao Gao wouldn't do such a stupid thing.
He was like a poisonous snake.
He was just waiting for a good opportunity to strike!
When Zhang Ye was at his peak, Zhao Gao would not take too many actions. However, once Zhang Ye's status became serious, it would be the time for Zhao Gao to kill him.
And now.
This rain directly opened Zhao Gao's mind.
It allowed him to seize the perfect opportunity to target Zhang Ye!
If it weren't for the rain, Zhao Gao wouldn't have been able to deal with Zhang Ye.
But now…
Everything was different now.
"Even though you are now the First Emperor's favorite, and as the Great Qin's Imperial Advisor, you enjoy a position of being second only to one person and above tens of thousands of people…"
"But so what?"
"This rain will completely destroy everything you have now.”
"And I will also completely take away everything that belongs to you. He would completely destroy your reputation and make you fall from heaven to hell.”
Zhao Gao laughed.
The plan in his mind had gradually taken shape.
Who was the source of Zhang Ye's status?
From the First Emperor!
Then how could Zhang Ye's illustrious position be dissolved? Let the other party become a rat on the street and be hated by everyone? Destroy the other party's reputation?
The best way was to make the First Emperor no longer think highly of him.
To make the other party make a mistake that even the First Emperor would be furious about!
If nothing unexpected happened, it would be very difficult for Zhao Gao to realize these plans.
However, with this heavy rain, the difficulty of Zhao Gao's plan would plummet and become extremely simple.
"As long as we make good use of this heavy rain, we can stop the worship ceremony from happening as scheduled. In this way, there are too many things I can use to make a big fuss.”
"Once the worship day is postponed…"
"It's the perfect time for me to target Zhang Ye!”
"Just nice, we can use this heavy rain to spread rumors about Zhang Ye as a jinx.”
"After all. Why did Xianyang, which had not seen a drop of water for two months, welcome a downpour that lasted for several days after Zhang Ye came? It even interfered with the scheduled holding of the worship ceremony.”
"If you're not the culprit, who is?!”
The more Zhao Gao thought about it, the more excited he became.
He seemed to have expected it…
The scene of Zhang Ye being thrown into the abyss.
"The day of the worship was personally set by the First Emperor. Moreover, it had already been announced to the world. If this rain caused the worship ceremony to be postponed, then who would bear the consequences and responsibility?”
"Do we have to make the First Emperor acknowledge this responsibility? Or should he let the civil and military officials bear this responsibility?”
"Zhang Ye! It's you!"
"You're the only scapegoat!”
"Hahaha!"
"So what if he's an immortal? So what if he didn't die after being beheaded? This time, I'm going to completely pull you down from the altar! He would turn you from a so-called immortal high up in the sky to an existence like a street rat, hated by everyone!”
"The so-called immortals? From now on, he would become the biggest joke.”
Thinking of this, Zhao Gao couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The heavens were simply helping him!
He had originally planned to target Zhang Ye, but he did not expect this rain to come too timely. This time, it was even effortless to target Zhang Ye. He could easily destroy the other party's reputation.
"Even the heavens are helping me."
Zhao Gao looked up at the sky and clenched his fists.
He thought.
Even the heavens were helping him deal with Zhang Ye!
Even the heavens are targeting you, Zhang Ye…
You still want to turn the tables?
That was impossible!
As long as I, Zhao Gao, am here, there will be no place for you in the imperial court of Xianyang Palace.
"Let me personally add some heat to you.”
"Let this storm come even more violently!”
" Let the rumors outside become even more intense…"
Zhao Gao made up his mind.
Immediately.
His eyes turned vicious as he ordered the members of the network outside.
"Men!"
"Pass on my order. Mobilize all the members of the network who have yet to reveal their identities. Without attracting the attention of the First Emperor, we have to announce something to the outside world.”
"Yan Cheng…"
"Great Qin's Imperial Advisor, Zhang Ye, has been detested by the heavens and is hereby punished to prevent Great Qin from praying to the heavens. If not for that, how could they explain the fact that Xianyang had not seen a drop of water in two months? But ever since Zhang Ye became the Imperial Advisor of the Great Qin Empire, Xianyang had welcomed a heavy downpour, and even the worship ceremony had to be postponed!”
"Imperial Advisor Zhang Ye is the greatest tumor of the Great Qin Empire!”
"As long as Zhang Ye is around, the Great Qin Empire will never be at peace!”
In an instant,
The voice of a subordinate of the Network came from a dark corner of the attic.
"Yes."
Gradually.
As he watched his subordinate disappear into the darkness, the smile on Zhao Gao's face became even brighter.
"Zhang Ye…"
"Are you ready to receive the great gift I personally brought to you?”
Looking at this situation…
Zhao Gao wanted to use the members of the Network to spread rumors and affect the hearts of thousands of people in Xianyang City.
Thus,
Forcibly coercing Zhang Ye to abdicate!
Zhang Ye was completely crushed by the rumors and gossip of the outside world!
He had to admit.
The scheme that Zhao Gao was planning at this moment could be said to be quite ruthless.
Like a poisonous snake,
Extremely fatal.
