Xianyang Palace fell silent again.
The Imperial Astronomical Supervisor's words caused the mood of all the officials to fall to rock bottom. Their faces darkened, and they didn't dare to make a sound.
Especially when they noticed the irritation on Ying Zheng's face, all the officials and ministers in the court lowered their heads, not daring to take the initiative to bump into the muzzle of a gun at this moment.
Now that he had run into a gun, he was simply looking for death!
Among all the civil and military officials in the court, who was in the happiest mood?
Of course it was Zhao Gao!
After hearing Lord Wang's words, Zhao Gao even labeled Zhang Ye's fate as a death sentence.
With the Imperial Astronomical Supervisor's assurance, Zhao Gao was even more convinced.
This crisis…
Zhang Ye, the Imperial Advisor of the Great Qin Empire, would definitely be unable to escape even if he had wings!
"Will this rain continue for at least two to three days?”
"In that case, the worship ceremony will have to be postponed. The Imperial Astronomical Supervisor's conclusion was most likely correct. This rain was really unlucky.”
"However, if the worship ceremony is delayed, will it cause the millions of people in the world to be dissatisfied and angry at the First Emperor for not keeping his word? It might even cause His Majesty to lose face.”
"This is inevitable. After all, how could they hold a worship ceremony in the heavy rain? What sacrifice? The sun couldn't even be seen, so it would be difficult to convince the masses.”
"There's really no other way. Who would have thought that on the day of the Heaven Sacrifice, there would suddenly be such a heavy downpour? From the looks of it, it was going to rain heavily for a few days.”
"The First Emperor probably won't allow the worship ceremony to be postponed, right?”
"What can we do if we don't allow it? Could it be that the rain would stop immediately? Not to mention the Emperor, even the Grand Preceptor, Zhang Ye, who was hailed as an immortal by the outside world, probably did not have this ability.”
“……”
All the officials discussed.
Almost no official would doubt the judgment of the Imperial Astronomical Supervisor.
The Imperial Astronomical Supervisor was an authority on the weather!
He had judged the weather changes many times without error.
The Imperial Astronomical Supervisor gathered all the talents in the field of astronomical phenomena in the Great Qin Empire. Therefore, the conclusion they came up with at the same time was basically correct.
In recent years,
The Imperial Astronomical Supervisor had just been established, but it had predicted astronomical phenomena no less than a hundred times. Every single time, he did it with great precision.
At most, the predicted time for the rain to stop was about a quarter of an hour away.
However, the time difference was almost negligible.
He had predicted hundreds of changes in the astronomical phenomena and had never made a single mistake. This showed how authoritative the Imperial Astronomical Supervisor was in the field of astronomical predictions.
At this moment.
As the Imperial Astronomical Supervisor made a judgment on the rain, it naturally caused a discussion among the civil and military officials. Almost all of them were not optimistic that the worship ceremony would be held as scheduled, but they felt that the worship ceremony would definitely be postponed.
This was something no one wanted.
But he was powerless.
Unless…
Human strength could reverse the changes in the weather!
But was this possible?
He had never heard of it before.
Someone was able to forcefully reverse the changes in the weather.
If there was really someone who could do it.
Then he might not be human.
They were immortals!
Listening to the whispers of the officials and ministers in the court, Ying Zheng felt more and more irritated. With an unfriendly look on his face, he stared coldly at the officials and ministers below the steps.
Under Ying Zheng's cold gaze, the officials who had been whispering immediately stopped talking, and the entire Xianyang Palace fell silent again.
"Do you have a solution?"
"Is the worship ceremony going to be held as scheduled? Or do you need to postpone it?"
Ying Zheng swept his cold gaze across the court and asked.
For a moment,
All the officials fell silent, lowering their heads, not daring to meet Ying Zheng's cold eyes.
None of the officials dared to speak up.
There was no other reason.
They didn't want to get involved in this matter. At this moment, they felt that it was the best way to protect themselves.
I don't ask for merit,
I only hope that there will be no mistakes.
Under such a grim situation, if they were to get involved, it would really be troublesome.
"A bunch of good-for-nothings!"
Seeing that the group of officials did not dare to make a sound, Ying Zheng was enraged and shouted angrily.
At the crucial moment…
All of them were weaklings.
He didn't even have any opinions!
This made Ying Zheng very disappointed and helpless.
"Imperial Father, in view of the unhappiness of Heaven Duke. The matter of worshipping the heavens would probably have to be postponed.”
"If we were to hold a sacrifice to the heavens in the heavy rain, your son believes that this might have the opposite effect. On the contrary, it made the millions of people in the world think that they were deliberately perfunctory about this sacrifice to the heavens and did not want to see good weather next year.”
"In this way, the conflict will be completely intensified!”
"At that time, the people who have been holding grudges for a long time will probably do something bad, causing a series of chaos within the empire.”
It had to be Fu Su.
As the Eldest Young Master, Fu Su was naturally not someone who was afraid of trouble.
Seeing that no official dared to stand up and speak, he had no choice but to stand up and speak his mind.
Fu Su's thoughts also represented the thoughts of almost ninety percent of the officials in the imperial court.
Since the rain wouldn't stop anytime soon, what else could they do? He could only postpone the ceremony.
This was the only way.
"Do you really want me to break my promise to the world?”
"As the saying goes, a ruler does not joke."
"If the worship ceremony needs to be postponed, how will the world view me? How do you view the Empire?"
Ying Zheng clenched his fists tightly, his face full of unwillingness.
If he had not been at his wit's end, he would not have wanted to postpone the ceremony.
"Imperial Father, this is the only way.”
Fu Su lowered his head and sighed.
"Li Si, what do you think?"
Ying Zheng asked Li Si.
"Your Majesty, I agree with Young Master Fusu.”
Li Si's words were simple.
Obviously, he did not want to get too involved in this matter.
"In that case…"
Seeing that even the resourceful Li Si said so, Ying Zheng could only resign himself to his fate.
At this moment.
Zhao Gao suddenly stepped forward.
Only to see.
Zhao Gao's sharp words began to target Zhang Ye, shouting loudly in a righteous manner,"Your Majesty, I have something to say.”
"This humble subject believes that the biggest reason for the delay in this worship ceremony is not because of Your Majesty. It was because of our Preceptor, Zhang Ye! He was the culprit who had to bear the greatest responsibility for this matter!”
"Your Majesty, do you want to…"
"After two months of not seeing a single drop of water, why did Xianyang rain so heavily right after welcoming the Preceptor, causing the worship ceremony to be postponed?”
"Isn't this because of him?”
"I've heard many rumors in the outside world in the past few days, and they all regard our Great Qin Imperial Advisor, Zhang Ye, as the greatest tumor of the Great Qin Empire! The reason why this ceremony was postponed was because State Preceptor Zhang Ye was someone who was despised by the heavens! This was a punishment that the heavens had specially given to him!”
"However, this time, the heavens have punished Great Qin, and we have to bear the consequences for him.”
Zhao Gao seemed to be standing on the moral high ground as he mercilessly criticized Zhang Ye.
His voice was very loud.
It resounded in all directions.
It echoed in the vast Xianyang Palace.
It was obvious.
Finally-
Zhao Gao revealed his sharp fangs.
He was going to make things difficult for Zhang Ye!
This was a great opportunity to kick someone when they were down, so he naturally wouldn't miss it.
Therefore…
At this moment,
He accurately grasped the opportunity.
He started to criticize Zhang Ye!
" The people outside have already begun to believe…"
"As long as Imperial Preceptor Zhang Ye exists, Great Qin will never be at peace!”
Zhao Gao coldly looked at Zhang Ye and shouted loudly, as if he wanted to inspire the fighting spirit of all the civil and military officials. They followed him to denounce Zhang Ye.
"Your Majesty."
"If someone has to bear the responsibility for the delay of the Heaven Worship Ceremony.”
"Then I can confirm…"
"This person must be State Preceptor Zhang Ye!"
"He's the best candidate!"
"Ever since he became Great Qin's Imperial Advisor, the empire's fortunes have plummeted. In fact, even something as grand as a sacrifice to the heavens had gradually gone wrong.”
"Let me ask you, if this isn't his responsibility, then who is?”
At this moment,
Zhao Gao was trying to push all the responsibility onto Zhang Ye.
