How can I ask that?
Even if Lord Sun is a star descended from heaven, how can he communicate with the heavens in this mortal body?
Could it be that he still possesses supernatural powers?
Although it's hard to believe, this is probably the only explanation...
When the discussion reached this point, the audience was shocked!
It was more shock than shock!
Although the common people hadn't read many books, they knew in their hearts that Lord Sun Jian had no shortage of fame, power, or money, and had already achieved so much, so there was absolutely no need for him to deceive them!
What's the point of deceiving someone with such status and such glory?
When everyone saw Sun Jian sitting cross-legged on the "high wooden platform," with his eyes closed, his hands clasped in a delicate, orchid-like gesture and resting on his knees, they were filled with a sense of profound mystery.
The common people gradually began to accept the fact that Sun Jian could communicate with Heaven.
Some might say that these common people were too foolish, but from their perspective, given the presence of so many important ministers and figures in the court, under these various conditions and factors, not only the common people, but even Yao Tianzheng and his group believed it to some extent.
At this moment, Yao Tian was staring intently at Sun Jian's face, seemingly trying to discern some clues from Sun Jian's subtle expressions, but unfortunately, Sun Jian was already deeply engrossed in his performance.
His mysterious, cross-legged posture, muttering incantations, truly made him seem like he was communicating with the heavens!
From the moment Yao Tianzheng met Sun Jian, he knew that Sun Jian was no ordinary person. His unpredictable medical skills and powerful firearms were not something that ordinary humans could have invented!
Yao Tianzheng had always believed that Sun Jian possessed something that ordinary people lacked, and seeing this scene now only strengthened his belief that Sun Jian was an immortal descended to earth.
"My husband... are you really communicating with the heavens...?"
Chu Qingcheng, inside the carriage, peered through the gap in the curtains at Sun Jian atop the carriage frame not far away, her face filled with excitement and awe.
Even his speech became hesitant and stuttering.
Although the sentence was a question, and although she didn't say it with certainty, Chu Qingcheng actually believed in Sun Jian's abilities more than anyone else.
"It must be!"
"There's nothing in this world that my husband can't do!"
Gu Zijian looked proud, raised his handsome face, and spoke with great pride.
"Yes, I also believe that our husband has the ability, otherwise he wouldn't be so confident."
Zhou Wan'er chimed in, her face beaming with pride.
Besides the three women who had this expression, Mi Zhu, Xing Kang, and others gradually began to accept the fact that Sun Jian was communicating with Heaven.
In stark contrast to the expressions of the others, the three who had previously rebuked Sun Jian were the ones who stood up for him.
Li Kuangyou, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, awkwardly twitched the corners of his mouth. He was getting anxious as he watched the expressions of those around him slowly change from disbelief to acceptance.
He genuinely wanted to loudly proclaim to everyone that Sun Jian was clearly... spreading rumors and misleading the public, aiming to bewitch people and make them accept his views so that they could implement his strategies.
But even with the words on his lips, Li Kuangyou, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, simply couldn't bring himself to say them.
Perhaps out of fear, standing up against Sun Jian in front of so many people at this moment would likely result in being first beaten by the six thousand soldiers in front of him, followed by imprisonment.
Or perhaps, even Li Kuangyou, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was somewhat worried. If this matter was not Sun Jian's sophistry, but something that actually happened and existed, how would he dare to deal with it, and how would he face the wrath of Heaven?
"he……"
"I……"
Li Kuangyou, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was so anxious that he kept pointing at Sun Jian and then at the sky. His expression was like that of an ant on a hot pan, but his actions were more like those of a mentally ill person that Sun Jian would later encounter.
Finally, Li Kuangyou, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, discovered that as long as he lowered his voice and talked to himself, he could achieve the desired effect.
He could barely manage to say what he wanted to say.
"This...this is utter nonsense! Utter rubbish! Nonsense!"
"Lord Lin, Lord Fang! Why don't you speak up? This talk of ghosts and gods is utterly baseless and unfounded. How can you tolerate such behavior from this mere brat, Sun Jian!"
Li Kuangyou, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was furious and began to directly instigate two other people who, like him, had become protégés of the powerful minister Lin Xuanfu.
Lin Chengdu, a principal officer in the Ministry of Justice, and Fang Wenyue, a secretary in the Ministry of Rites.
When the two men heard what Li Kuangyou, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, said, they both gave him a look that said, "If you're so capable, then you do it. If you're so anxious, why don't you speak up?"
The two of them naturally did not believe that Sun Jian could truly communicate with Heaven.
Even now, they still think Sun Jian has been talking complete bullshit!
But what use do they think light is?
At present, the foolish common people and the passionate soldiers have all been swayed by Sun Jian's actions, and Lord Yao, Lord Mi, and Lord Xing are also silently approving of this behavior, and some are even willing to believe in and support Sun Jian.
Anyone who dares to disagree at this time, let alone what will happen afterward, will at least be trampled into dust on the spot by this group of people.
"Calm down, Lord Li. This brat knows absolutely nothing! If he could truly communicate with the heavens, how could the locust plague have spread to such a severe extent!"
"Don't worry, if there's still no reaction after this communication, and he's just trying to instill such absurd ideas in the people with words, the three of us will definitely step forward and vehemently denounce and refute him!"
"At that time, the three of us will use the pretext of acting in the best interests of the court and eliminating treacherous officials to expose the hypocrisy of this brat Sun Jian. The people will be even more fearful and hesitant, and no one will believe or listen to him. In that case, we will not be implicated!"
"Yes! Li Daren, just look at him now, how long can he keep up this act!"
After listening to the words of Lin Chengdu, the principal of the Ministry of Justice, and Fang Wenyue, the director of the Ministry of Rites, Li Kuangyou, the vice minister of the Ministry of Personnel, sighed and glared at Sun Jian before nodding in agreement.
The ideal is lofty, but the reality is harsh.
They never expected that what happened next would completely shatter their jaws, and they even began to accept the fact that Sun Jian could communicate with the heavens!
Sun Jian, after sitting cross-legged for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, stood up.
Seeing that Sun Jian had finished communicating with Heaven, everyone cast anxious glances their way.
Everyone wants to know what the final result will be.
Even the people not far away quieted down on their own and took a few steps forward, seemingly wanting to get closer to Sun Jian so they could see and hear him more clearly...
