The court was silent.
Fu Su and Li Si frowned and looked at Zhao Gao.
The civil and military officials had expected Zhao Gao to suddenly attack Zhang Ye. Therefore, they were not too surprised by this.
The relationship between Zhao Gao and Zhang Ye was like fire and water. They had already witnessed this with their own eyes in the imperial court a few days ago.
At this moment,
When Zhang Ye was facing a serious situation, Zhao Gao, who was like fire and water with him, naturally wouldn't let go of this great opportunity to kick him when he was down.
In fact,
Zhao Gao planned to completely defeat Zhang Ye in one go.
Let the other party's reputation be ruined!
Withdraw from the court!
"Milords, do you agree with what I said?”
Zhao Gao looked at the civil and military officials and said in a loud voice," After two months, there has been no water in Xianyang. It was because of Zhang Ye's arrival that Xianyang welcomed an extremely rare continuous rain, causing the worship ceremony to be postponed.”
"Isn't this enough to prove…"
"Zhang Ye is simply a jinx! "He will only bring endless disaster to our Great Qin Empire and will not be of any help!”
"This worship ceremony was delayed by the heavy rain.”
"In the future, he might cause all kinds of natural and man-made disasters in the empire. By then, it will be too late to regret."
As Zhao Gao's voice fell.
The officials of the interest group led by him naturally followed Zhao Gao's footsteps without hesitation and spoke up to cater to him.
"Lord Zhao Gao is right. Ever since the Preceptor took office, nothing good has happened in the empire. Instead, because of his arrival, it caused a new problem to arise from the originally good worship ceremony.”
"The empire shouldn't keep such a person who can only bring endless disaster to the empire.”
"That's right."
"The reason why the worship ceremony was postponed was all because of The Preceptor. He needed to take full responsibility for this matter.”
“……”
There was a lot of discussion.
A dozen officials stood behind Zhao Gao and began to criticize Zhang Ye angrily.
Even the officials who maintained a neutral stance could not help but feel restless.
If he had to find a scapegoat.
Of course, they would choose Zhang Ye as the scapegoat!
This was the best choice!
He was also the most suitable candidate in their hearts.
"Lord Zhao Gao's words are wrong. How can you judge that the heavy rain was caused by others when the heavens did not favor us? Your words are too arbitrary and are simply fabricated.”
As the Eldest Young Master, Fu Su stepped forward.
Fu Su, who had always been an upright person, naturally could not stand Zhao Gao distorting the truth here.
Originally, it was only because the heavens did not favor him.
Yet, he had to involve others as scapegoats.
This made Fu Su feel very disdainful.
"Young Master Fusu, I would like to ask you a question.”
Zhao Gao was not surprised to see Fu Su stand up. He thought for a moment and asked," If the millions of people in the world suddenly heard that the event had to be postponed for a few days, how would they feel? Would their long-accumulated resentment explode because of this?”
"Who will bear this responsibility?"
"If I don't find someone who needs to take responsibility, I'll have to take on all the responsibilities. Then, who could appease the anger of the millions of people?”
"Besides, I'm not afraid. Who could explain why the worship ceremony had to be postponed after State Preceptor Zhang Ye came to Xianyang? Was this really just because the heavens did not favor him? In my opinion, this is all because of Zhang Ye's terrible luck, which has brought many misfortunes and disasters to the empire.”
After being interrogated by Zhao Gao one after another, Fu Su was rendered speechless for a moment.
It was not impossible to refute Zhao Gao's flawed remarks.
It was purely…
What Zhao Gao said did make sense.
Delaying the worship ceremony would definitely cause discussion among the people. Someone had to bear this responsibility and share the anger of the people as a vent.
If the commoners were not allowed to vent their anger.
The consequences would be unimaginable.
It was because of this that Fu Su could not refute Zhao Gao's words.
Although he felt sorry for Zhang Ye.
However, since things had already developed to this point, he could be considered powerless. He really could not help.
"Your Majesty, this humble subject pleads."
"I must tell the world…"
"State Preceptor Zhang Ye must take full responsibility for this matter! Only in this way could the anger of the people be appeased.”
Zhao Gao looked at Ying Zheng and suggested.
He wanted to push Zhang Ye into the fire pit.
Zhang Ye would be doomed!
"State Preceptor Zhang Ye, how do you explain Zhao Gao's words?”
Ying Zheng looked at Zhang Ye expressionlessly and asked.
He was not affected by Zhao Gao's words.
He knew what Zhao Gao wanted to do.
" What Your Majesty is worried about…"
Zhang Ye, who had been silent all this while, finally opened his mouth slowly." I'm just worried that the worship ceremony won't be held as scheduled due to the bad luck of the heavens.”
Facing Zhao Gao's threatening words, Zhang Ye did not care at all. He did not take it to heart at all.
As for confronting Zhao Gao in court?
That would be even more meaningless.
In his eyes.
Zhao Gao was just a clown at best.
There was no need to waste too much time on the other party.
"Oh? State Preceptor Zhang Ye, what do you think? Could there be a way to resolve this matter perfectly?”
Hearing Zhang Ye's words, Ying Zheng's interest was immediately piqued.
Only to see.
Ying Zheng's originally gloomy face turned bright at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if he was expecting Zhang Ye's words.
"Your Majesty."
Seeing this, Zhao Gao immediately couldn't sit still.
"Don't be deceived by this kid's flowery words!" he hurriedly said. He was a liar! Deceiving the entire court with a smokescreen was actually a jinx! Wherever he went, all kinds of natural and man-made disasters would happen! If such a calamity was allowed to remain in the empire, it was likely that even more undeserved disasters would occur in the future.”
"Shut up! Did I allow you to speak?"
Ying Zheng glared at Zhao Gao coldly and scolded him angrily.
Zhao Gao's face turned pale and cold sweat began to appear on his forehead. He hurriedly lowered his head and did not dare to speak anymore.
At this moment.
" If State Preceptor Zhang Ye has a way to make the Heaven Worship Ceremony go on as scheduled, I will definitely reward you handsomely!" Ying Zheng continued to ask Zhang Ye.”
At the same time.
Prime Minister Li Si, Eldest Young Master Fu Su, and all the civil and military officials present gathered their gazes at the same time and fixed their gazes on Zhang Ye. Their eyes were filled with curiosity, doubt, and disbelief.
In such an extremely bad situation.
He could still hold the worship ceremony as scheduled?
They thought,
This was almost impossible to achieve.
Most of the officials thought that Zhang Ye was just trying to please the crowd and pretending to be profound.
Next.
Under everyone's watchful eyes.
Zhang Ye smiled faintly.
"Actually, the method is very simple."
"If we want the worship ceremony to be held as scheduled, we just need to stop the rain.”
"It's simple, isn't it?"
Zhang Ye looked at the stunned eyes of the officials and continued," If the First Emperor trusts me, you can leave everything to me alone.”
"As for me, I will make this sacrifice to the heavens proceed perfectly and end it perfectly!”
He paused.
Zhang Ye looked at Zhao Gao mockingly, almost pointing at his head.
"I think only those useless people…"
"That's why he chose to shirk responsibility under such circumstances. I'm different. I'll think of a way to solve the problem instead of constantly shirking responsibility.”
"Since you've entered Xianyang Palace, you're naturally not a dog in the manger. He was fundamentally different from some people.”
"Presumably, Your Majesty should agree with my point of view, right?”
The voice slowly faded.
The entire place fell silent.
The officials fell silent.
Zhao Gao gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
His eyes were filled with coldness and killing intent as he stared at Zhang Ye's figure.
Li Si and Fu Su sized up Zhang Ye suspiciously as the words he had just said lingered in their ears.
The other party's solution was…
Let the rain stop?
And then hold the worship ceremony as scheduled?
However,
Was this really possible?
Could it really be realized?
It sounded like a fantasy!
How could human power affect the changes in the weather?
It was easy to say.
Once the rain stopped, the worship ceremony could be held as scheduled.
Everyone knew this.
But the problem was…
How could he stop the rain?
This was the most important problem!
It was also a problem that no one could solve.
Who doesn't know how to brag?
However, if he really wanted to do it.
Not many people could do it.
No, no, no.
To be more precise,
No one in the world could do it!
Therefore…
Li Si and Fu Su were not the only ones who were suspicious.
None of the officials present believed Zhang Ye's words. They only felt that he was being stubborn and treating everyone in the court as fools.
If things could really be resolved so easily…
It was not to the extent that the civil and military officials did not dare to make a sound.
Zhang Ye's method was very simple, but it made all the officials present doubt whether the other party could do what he had just said.
After thinking about it, more than 90% of the officials shook their heads.
Trying to reverse the weather with just human strength?
He even wanted to stop the downpour that had lasted for several days?
How was this possible?
It was simply impossible.
Don't even think about it!
Therefore, he had no choice.
The current State Preceptor Zhang Ye…
He was probably talking in his sleep!
He might even be a little confused!
Otherwise, why would he say such a thoughtless statement?
