The emperor calmed down and asked the envoy: "Since it is such a bad image, is there any way to break it?"
The emissary in the hall said calmly: "This astrological phenomenon is actually a man-made disaster, not a natural disaster!"
"Why do you say that?" the emperor asked with a frown.
Zhao Ji vaguely felt something was wrong at this moment. He looked at the envoy who was talking incessantly in the hall with a sharp gaze.
The man said, "This Greedy Wolf star comes from the palace, and its tail is dark and its head is shiny, which means it is likely to come from a disabled person. But this Greedy Wolf cuts into the main palace, which means that a disabled person has entered the court, which is a disaster..."
"Is there another sentence I can say..."
The emperor was completely led astray by what he had heard, so he naturally nodded and allowed him to continue.
Zhao Jize smiled faintly at the side. He had long known that this was a conspiracy against him.
What kind of incomplete person in the harem could enter the court?
It's nothing but eunuchs.
It seems that someone is deliberately targeting me.
The voice of this person was heard again in the hall: "From the perspective of the stars, this disabled person has been recognized by the Queen Mother. However, all this is a disguise of the Greedy Wolf Star. As long as the Greedy Wolf Star is in the Queen Mother's Palace, it will affect the fortune of the royal family!"
This statement is absolutely decisive.
The emperor was thinking carefully at this time, his eyes unconsciously swept over Zhao Ji, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.
A disabled person... From the harem to the previous dynasty, there is only one person, Zhao Ji.
The emperor was shocked and thought carefully about what the envoy had just said.
Even the emperor had some doubts, and the following few sentences were tailor-made for Zhao Ji.
Zhao Ji smiled faintly, looked at the emperor, and carefully observed the emperor's reaction.
The emperor and Zhao Ji looked at each other for a while, but they could not see through the frank gaze.
And because Zhao Ji's eyes were too frank, the emperor became suspicious and for a moment he was the first to look away.
The hall fell into complete silence. The words were said so clearly, it was obvious that the only thing missing was the name itself.
Even though the name had not been announced yet, all the court officials' eyes were on Zhao Ji.
Some neutral ministers revealed a hint of regret in their eyes.
There were also some ministers whose eyes revealed understanding and anger.
Some people naturally believed in the theory of celestial phenomena, but some people looked further ahead and knew that there must be something fishy behind it.
But no matter which type of person they are, they all know that it will be difficult for Zhao Ji to turn things around this time.
No emperor would choose to trust his subjects in the face of such a situation.
Many emperors, faced with such a situation, would rather believe it...
Zhao Ji suddenly laughed out loud: "Chief Envoy of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, if I remember correctly, your position should be to communicate with the heavens in advance to warn the emperor, how come now that a disaster has occurred, you are able to speak up?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the chief envoy of the Imperial Observatory immediately showed an expression of dissatisfaction on his face.
"The stars in the sky are changing all the time. We must make sure everything is correct before we tell the emperor!"
Zhao Ji laughed disdainfully when he heard this: "Infallible? When you are sure that it is infallible, will the disaster have already happened? In that case, what use are you? Have you ever correctly predicted a disaster?"
A series of sarcastic questions helped the emperor regain some of his sanity.
Yes, the disaster has already happened, and these people who depend on the weather for their livelihood can naturally say anything.
But as a department that can understand celestial phenomena, since they are unable to predict them in advance, isn’t their ability too poor?
Just as the emperor thought so, those ministers who had no ulterior motives were also led by Zhao Ji's idea.
Everyone felt that what Zhao Ji said actually made sense.
Speaking of it, the salary of the chief envoy of the Imperial Observatory is not small, and there is not much to do every month. He can just observe the celestial phenomena and does not have to come back to report to the emperor every time.
It's just such a simple and leisurely job, but now suddenly he comes up with so many ambiguous words.
I'm afraid there is something fishy behind this?
If only 20% of people reacted when the chief envoy of the Imperial Observatory first spoke, this might be a trap.
By now, Zhao Ji had led everyone to think more divergently, and the court officials present were not stupid either, and about 80% of them had come to their senses.
That's what's going on.
The emperor also realized it, but the chief envoy of the Imperial Observatory still thought that Zhao Ji was making trouble.
"From the astronomical phenomenon, it seems that there are indeed disabled people who want to muddy the waters of the previous dynasty. Among all the civil and military officials in the court, I wonder which of them are disabled. If there are such people, I hope the emperor can make a decision as soon as possible!"
The envoy put all his strength on the emperor.
However, the emperor is now somewhat shaken by Zhao Ji's few words.
Seeing the man urging me non-stop, I became less and less anxious.
He looked quietly at the two people in front of him, carefully observing the difference in their expressions.
Zhao Ji stood there calmly, letting the emperor look at him.
The envoy seemed to be confident, but a little impatient, as if he hoped that the emperor would order some measures right away.
"Since the celestial phenomena are like this, I wonder if they can explain something? For example, how to avoid disasters? Or how to avoid droughts?"
The questions the emperor asked were beyond the envoy's expectations. For a moment he was stumped and stood there in silence.
Zhao Ji did not miss the opportunity to add insult to injury and chuckled, "Your Majesty, the envoy is a fortune teller. If you ask him to come up with such a strategy for governing the country, I'm afraid he is not specialized in this field and won't be able to come up with the point!"
Zhao Ji's eye drops were so ruthless that the emperor suddenly felt more inclined towards Zhao Ji.
He was so angry that his face turned red, but he still pinned his hope on the time when the emperor believed in him before. He thought that the emperor would believe him again this time.
After all, no one sitting on the dragon throne has such a broad mind. Most of them would rather kill ten thousand people by mistake than let one go!
This plan should have been perfect, but unfortunately they all miscalculated the variable, Zhao Ji.
Zhao Ji has never been a good man, nor a soft dough that can be manipulated by these people at will.
For Zhao Ji, if others respect me, I will return the favor. If others harm me, I will naturally not repay evil with kindness.
Zhao Ji smiled and said, "If everything in the world could be calculated in this way, I'm afraid there would be no need for me and all of you present here!"
