Crash!

It was raining heavily.

Dark clouds gathered.

The entire Xianyang City was silent.

Like a city that had been abandoned for a long time, it was lifeless.

As the heavy rain poured down from the sky, the rain hit the eaves, splashing water everywhere, and a pleasant sound like a bell sounded.

Xianyang Palace.

Dressed in a long robe made of black birds and a crown on his head, Ying Zheng stood by the window with a gloomy face, looking at the torrential rain that never stopped. A sense of oppression emanated from his entire body.

"Today is the day of the worship ceremony!”

"This rain is still falling!"

"Do you really want me to break my promise to the world? Become the laughing stock of the world? Make the empire lose face?"

"This rain came neither early nor late, but it just had to choose the time I set for the sacrifice. Is the heavens deliberately targeting me?”

Ying Zheng was furious.

He was furious at the sudden downpour.

He was caught off guard.

It might even cause the worship ceremony to be postponed.

And this was definitely not what he wanted to see.

He did not want to become the laughing stock of the world.

"Your Majesty."

At this moment, Zhang Han, who was Ying Zheng's trusted subordinate, slowly walked out from a dark corner. He was wearing leather armor, and he looked at Ying Zheng's angry face with some restraint.

"What is it?"

Ying Zheng, who was already in a bad mood, threw a casual glance at Zhang Han and asked.

"There are rumors in the outside world that…"

Zhang Han wanted to say something but stopped.

He secretly sized up Ying Zheng's face, but suddenly, he could not say anything.

"If you have something to say, just say it. Do you think I can eat you?”

Ying Zheng snorted coldly, his face showing impatience.

"There is a rumor in Xianyang that this heavy rain is a punishment from the heavens. There were even many rumors directed at State Preceptor Zhang Ye. They believed that Imperial Advisor Zhang Ye had brought disaster to Great Qin.”

"Moreover, this worship ceremony has to be temporarily terminated and postponed.”

"Everyone in the outside world believes that all of this was brought about by State Preceptor Zhang Ye. There were also rumors that Imperial Advisor Zhang Ye was someone who was despised by the heavens and would only bring disaster to Great Qin.”

Zhang Han opened his mouth, lowered his head, and told the truth about the rumors.

Zhang Han naturally scoffed at such rumors and didn't take them to heart. However, the rumors were getting more and more intense, and the scope of influence was getting bigger and bigger. He could no longer treat it carelessly.

"Good! Very good!"

Ying Zheng's eyes turned especially sharp, and his entire body emitted a cold aura that kept people away.

As a country's leader, when he heard Zhang Han's words, he immediately determined that someone was deliberately targeting Zhang Ye.

As for who this person was?

Ying Zheng was well aware.

"Zhao Gao!"

He snorted coldly, and his brows were filled with anger.

Ying Zheng did not care about the internal strife between his subjects, nor did he intend to interfere forcefully. The scheming and infighting between the courtiers could also stabilize the rule of the imperial power. As the ruler of a country, Ying Zheng only needed to grasp the balance.

But now…

Zhao Gao's actions undoubtedly disgusted Ying Zheng.

As for the rumors in the outside world?

Ying Zheng didn't take it to heart, and he wouldn't take it out on Zhang Ye.

It was fine if these rumors were used to deceive the ignorant commoners, but they were also used to fool the ruler of Great Qin?

It was simply ridiculous!

"Your Majesty, do you need me to lead the Shadow Secret Guards to investigate the truth and find the mastermind?”

Zhang Han asked carefully.

"No need."

Ying Zheng thought for a moment, and the anger on his face gradually faded away, while his eyes became even more profound.

He paused.

He ordered Zhang Han,"Go, bring all the civil and military officials here!" Let the officials enter the palace immediately! I need to gather all the civil and military officials in the court to discuss how to resolve this matter!”

"As for Zhao Gao…"

"Let him jump around for the time being. I want to see how far Zhao Gao can go!”

Hearing this,

Zhang Han quickly nodded.”

There was no room for mistakes in the worship of heaven.

However, Ying Zheng could not think of a solution for the time being.

Faced with this torrential rain, Ying Zheng could do nothing but gather all the civil and military officials to discuss how to resolve this matter perfectly.

In short.

Even if they had no choice but to postpone the sacrifice, they had to think of a foolproof plan to give the millions of people in the world a reasonable excuse.

Otherwise, he would become a laughingstock.

The Great Qin Empire would lose all face.

He had lost all his prestige in the hearts of the people.

Gradually,

Zhang Han left.

Ying Zheng was left alone in the huge palace.

He stood quietly by the window and observed the cloudy weather. His mood became heavier and heavier.

According to his initial observations.

This rain…

It could probably last for a few days.

At that time, forget about worshipping the heavens, even the daylily would be cold.

If a monarch went back on his word, would he still have prestige for the people?

As the saying went,

Jun, don't joke!

The words that were spoken were like water that was splashed out.

It could not be taken back.

Especially what the Emperor had said.

It was even more so.

Once a fixed day was changed, it would give people a very casual feeling. In this way, the Emperor's prestige in the hearts of the people would fall to rock bottom.

Even the emperor could go back on his word so casually…

How could the imperial edict issued in the future be authoritative?!

"Forget it."

"Looks like this is all fate."

After staring at the pouring rain outside the window for a long time, Ying Zheng finally retracted his gaze and sighed deeply from the bottom of his heart.

……

East of Xianyang.

Zhang Manor.

The secret guards who braved the heavy rain to come to the front door of the Zhang residence hurriedly knocked on the door.

Dong dong dong!

Someone knocked on the door.

Perhaps due to the heavy rain, it took a long time before the door of the Zhang Mansion was opened by the servants inside.

When he saw the members of the Shadow Secret Guard standing in front of the door, the servant was immediately shocked."Lords of the Shadow Secret Guards? Are you here to look for our adults? Please come in."

The Shadow Secret Guards had braved the heavy rain to come and visit. Clearly, they had something urgent to report to their Lord. These servants naturally did not dare to neglect them.

"No need."

The Shadow Secret Guard shook his head and quickly said," Please inform the Grand Tutor Zhang Ye that His Majesty has ordered the Grand Tutor to enter the palace immediately.”

"Everyone has worked hard." I'll inform my family's adults now.”

A moment later.

The Shadow Secret Guard left.

Under the notice of the servant.

Soon, Zhang Ye also learned of the order that First Emperor Ying Zheng had sent over.

"Summon all the officials into the palace at the same time?”

When he learned of this news, Zhang Ye could not help but think.

It seemed like…

The heavy rain that had lasted for two days had made the high and mighty First Emperor extremely anxious. He could not sit still anymore.

He had no choice but to gather the civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures.

"But this is also good."

"It's time for this farce to end.”

Zhang Ye smiled faintly.

Just as he had guessed.

Right now, countless monsters had appeared in Xianyang.

Almost all of them were targeted at him.

In this regard,

Zhang Ye was well aware of this, but he did not take it to heart.

In his opinion.

These people were just a bunch of clowns.

There was nothing to be afraid of.

Among them,

Including Zhao Gao, he was just a clown!

"Men, prepare my horse."

Suppressing all the thoughts in his head, Zhang Ye turned around and ordered the servants.

After a while.

After the servants prepared the horses,

Zhang Ye rode his horse alone and left Zhang Manor, heading towards Xianyang Palace.

On the way to Xianyang Palace, he could already predict it. In a while, when all the civil and military officials gathered in Xianyang Palace, the scene would definitely be as lively as a market.

At that time,

Those who wanted to target him would definitely take the initiative to jump out one after another.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ye's eyes flickered slightly, and a sense of anticipation appeared on his face.
