Zhao Ji was silent for a while, and some ministers in the court who had unsteady positions began to seize this opportunity to attack frantically.

He was talking with saliva flying all over the place!

"That's right. The regent is disabled and not a member of the royal family. How can he take on the important task of serving the country?"

"That makes sense. Besides, it's a pity that the Regent cannot have children!"

Many ministers began to agree, but Zhao Ji did not say anything. He just watched quietly, watching these ministers, who were talking to each other as if they were giving instructions on how to deal with the country.

General Tian on the side could not hold his temper anymore. He stood up and pointed at these people and said, "You are all saying this and that. When the emperor was still alive, it was the regent Zhao Ji who was in charge of the court affairs. At that time, everything was decided by the regent, and it was the regent who took on all the responsibilities. Where are you?"

"I'm just asking you, when the regent was in office, were there any omissions in decision-making?"

General Tian's questioning left the ministers speechless.

However, even so, these ministers still seized on the fact that Zhao Ji was infertile and had a disability and attacked him wildly.

At this time, General Tian, ​​a military commander, suddenly became exceptionally smart for some reason, as if he had thought about it countless times in his mind.

"So what if I can't have children? In ancient times, Yao and Shun promoted talented people and still managed to keep their tribes alive. This shows that bloodline is not the only way to pass on inheritance. The ancients have tried it before!"

General Tian was simply ready to engage in a debate with a group of scholars.

General Tian's words left the ministers present speechless. Although they were well-versed in history, they had never thought of inheritance other than bloodline. At this moment, their eyes were filled with surprise and shock.

Zhao Ji watched all this and sighed in his heart. He glanced at General Tian and saw the firmness and determination in his eyes. At that moment, Zhao Ji knew that General Tian was ready and willing to face all difficulties and challenges with him.

At this time, an old minister slowly stood up. He was the wisest old man in the court and the one Zhao Ji respected the most.

"What the general said makes sense," the old minister said slowly, "Since ancient times, our Chinese nation has had the tradition of 'the capable take over'. What is 'capable'? It does not just refer to the continuation of bloodline, but to the inheritance of ability. Just like when the previous emperor was in power, if there was no regent to assist, the prosperity of our dynasty might have withered long ago."

The old minister's words echoed in the court, and for a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on him.

"The continuation of bloodline is important, but the inheritance of ability is even more indispensable. Although Regent Zhao Ji has no children, his contributions and abilities are enough for us to regard him as a 'capable person'. And such a capable person is exactly what our country needs."

The old minister's words became clearer and more powerful. The ministers who had originally attacked Zhao Ji also lowered their heads and stopped talking.

Zhao Ji looked at the old minister with gratitude in his heart. He knew that General Tian's persistence and the old man's support were great help to him in difficult times.

However, Zhao Ji did not intend to let General Tian and this old minister charge in the front, while he hid behind them and just enjoyed the results.

Zhao Ji walked out and said, "Actually, there is something I have forgotten to tell you..."

Everyone stopped arguing and turned to look at Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji said, "As early as three months ago, when I was accompanying the emperor on his southern tour, I met a miracle doctor. This miracle doctor is truly amazing. If Hua Tuo were alive, he would have cured my body a long time ago. It's just that I just recovered recently, so I didn't tell the emperor and the others before!"

When Zhao Ji told this, everyone was shocked.

In fact, there is no such thing as a miracle doctor. It was all made up by Zhao Ji himself. Anyway, the emperor is dead now. Who knows who Zhao Ji met when he accompanied the emperor?

The reason these ministers attacked Zhao Ji was simply that they thought Zhao Ji was a eunuch. They just didn't know that Zhao Ji was a fake eunuch. Now it was easy for Zhao Ji to find a reason to clear his name.

The ministers at the scene looked at each other, and then began to whisper to each other.

Zhao Ji's words caused an uproar in the court. The ministers who had attacked him were stunned for a moment. They did not expect Zhao Ji to find such a miracle doctor and heal his body three months ago.

Zhao Ji looked at their surprised expressions and felt secretly proud. He knew that this news would shock and confuse them, and this was the effect he wanted to achieve.

At this time, General Tian and the old minister looked at each other and saw joy and admiration in each other's eyes. They knew that Zhao Ji did this to protect himself, and also to let those ministers realize that his body was not defective, and he had not lost the ability to lead the country.

After a long while, the old minister slowly stood up. His eyes stayed on Zhao Ji for a moment, then turned to other ministers.

"The fact that Regent Zhao Ji has such a miraculous doctor to take care of him shows that God is on our side. As court officials, we should follow God's will and help the Regent to overcome the difficulties."

The old minister's words made the atmosphere in the field become solemn again. All the ministers began to reflect on their words and deeds, and they realized how weak and stupid their original attack was.

Zhao Ji looked at the old minister with gratitude in his heart. He knew that the words of the old minister were not only to support him, but also to teach these ministers to follow the will of heaven and assist him in contributing to the country.

At this time, General Tian also stood up.

"I, Tian, ​​would like to swear here that from now on, I will follow the regent and do my best for the prosperity of the country."

General Tian's words echoed in the court, and all the ministers felt his determination and firmness. They knew that General Tian was a man of his words, and his oath was by no means empty talk.

Zhao Ji looked at General Tian with great emotion. He knew that General Tian's determination and loyalty would be his right-hand man during his regency.

The ministers who had originally attacked him also bowed their heads and expressed their apologies and regrets. They realized that their words and deeds were wrong and were willing to assist Zhao Ji in contributing to the country in the future.

Zhao Ji did not blame them, he knew that these ministers made such a move because of their misunderstanding of him. But now, their attitude has changed and they are willing to fight for the country with him.

Some ministers still had their own little thoughts, but when they saw that Zhao Ji was the popular choice, they kept silent. After all, the first bird to stick its head out gets shot. These people were very shrewd, and seeing that the situation was hopeless, they simply stopped talking about it.
