My words may have been too abrupt, or they were not expected by all the officials present, including the Queen Mother.

And there was a lot of hostility in the eyes that looked at me.

And soon someone stood up and objected, saying: "The minister is opposed, how can Lord Zhang He De be qualified to take on the heavy responsibility of worshipping the heavens." ”

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister also seconded the proposal."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

……

"The ministers all seconded it."

All of a sudden, more than two-thirds of the people in the entire court knelt down, and there were a few people standing.

The Queen Mother sat behind the curtain and said, "Get up and speak." ”

"Please also ask the Queen Mother to agree to the request of the ministers, otherwise the ministers will not be able to wait."

"Get up and speak." The Queen Mother repeated it again, and her tone was aggravated.

The ministers looked at each other and at each other.

The Queen Mother had no choice but to say again: "The palace will deal with it impartially, you all get up." ”

The ministers finally stood up, but they still didn't look good at me. I could feel that the Queen Mother's gaze had turned to me, and then she asked me in a heavy voice, "Master Zhang, what qualifications do you think you have to serve as a priest to the heavens." ”

I opened my mouth and said, "Hui Empress Dowager, her subordinates are also candidates for the succession to the throne, why are you not qualified?" ”

I said righteous words without the slightest concession.

"You are the heir to the throne, and so is Prince Husu, why is it?"

I stood up and said, "Of course I don't mind competing with Prince Hu Su in the open, I just don't want Prince Hu Su to be the only candidate to worship the heavens." ”

After these words fell, the entire court became quiet, and even the sound of breathing seemed to be heard.

Li Si suddenly stood up: "Lord Zhang, in terms of bloodline orthodoxy and governance ability, which of you can compare to Prince Hu Su?" ”

This guy Li Si has targeted me again and again, and he has dealt with me with Zhao Gao before, I put up with him for a long time, I opened my mouth to refute Zhao Gao and said: "Prince Husu, who is not comparable, is not what you say." ”

"Huh? Do you want to compare with Prince Husu? ”

I said, why don't you dare?

I have already made up my mind in my heart anyway, I will fight for the things that my master told me, and it is one thing to fight or not, but there is definitely no chance if I don't fight.

Li Si's face immediately changed and said: "Lord Zhang, you are really bold, since ancient times, when it is the turn of an outsider to sit on the throne." ”

"I'm a candidate for the throne right now." I retorted to Lees in one sentence.

Li Si didn't back down, and what else to say. But was stopped by the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother said slowly: "Don't quarrel between the two adults, since Lord Zhang and Prince Hu Su are both heirs to the throne, they are both qualified to take the lead in the important task of worshipping the heavens, so be it, you Bibi, now that there is a flood in Shucheng, Lord Zhang, you and Prince Hu Su will go together to investigate whether the disaster relief funds are in place." ”

I immediately knelt down and said hello.

The Queen Mother then said, "Get up." ”

"Zhao Gao, the prince's side, you wait and tell me."

Zhao Gao, who was standing beside the Queen Mother, answered yes, and then Zhao Gao pinched his throat and said: "If there is something to report, report it quickly, and retreat from the dynasty if there is nothing to do." ”

The adults estimated that there was nothing to do, so they knelt down to send off the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was helped out of the court.

I also walked outside, and my tense mood was relieved a lot.

Li Si caught up with me and said, "Master Zhang, you are really bold. ”

I replied to Li Si and said, "Thank you for the compliment." ”

Then he left Lisi and strode forward, I could still feel a hateful gaze behind me, but I ignored it. I had gone all the way and the carriage was waiting for me, and when I got into it, the coachman asked me, "My lord, are you going home now?" ”

I said don't go back yet, catch the car and hurry up, and wait for Lord Goshi.

The coachman smiled and said, "My lord, do you want to squeeze a carriage with Lord Yushi later?" ”

I laughed and said, almost.

The coachman answered and slowed down, and a few minutes later the coachman told me that Mishi had arrived. I hummed, and I said follow Lord Goshi, and in a short time, we will be out of the palace. I was going to get off the carriage directly, but I didn't expect Mishi to stop in an alley.

I guessed in my heart that Mishi-sama should be waiting for me. I followed me into the alley, and I think Mishi has something to say to me.

When I got into the alley, I respectfully called out to Mishi Lord.

Lord Yushi didn't give me a smile, looked at me with a straight face, and then said, "Please take care of Lord Zhang on this trip." ”

Lord Goshi didn't get off the train, and the voice came from inside the carriage, so I hummed and said thank you. I watched Mishi-sama leave.

I froze in place for a few seconds, and I didn't come back to my senses until the driver called out to me.

"My lord, are you going home?"

I'll say back.

When I arrived at the house, I asked my subordinates to prepare, ready to go to Shucheng, of course, it was light and simple, before leaving, I went to see Han Feizi, Han Feizi and I said: "Li Si can be regarded as my fellow brother, with my understanding of him, your trip will not be smooth." ”

I hummed? Asked Han Feizi: "In my opinion, what do I need to prepare in advance?" ”

Han Feizi took a sip of wine and said slowly: "First, take care of your own safety, and second, the flood problem in Shucheng is not something that can be solved overnight, Prince Hu Su must have an innate advantage, so if the investigation is not thorough, don't waste too much time." Third, the most important thing is that the true dragon recognizes the Lord, if the true dragon does not recognize the Lord, even if he wants to sacrifice to the sky, he has no chance. ”

After Han Feizi finished speaking, he stopped talking.

I asked, "Does the gentleman have any other orders?" ”

Han Feizi said: "The most important thing is to come back in time, for fear that someone will transfer the tiger away from the mountain." I'll keep an eye on it for you, too. ”

I said thank you, sir, and then I left the Han Mansion, everything was almost ready, I found a subordinate from Shucheng in the house, and then with Cao Tianshi, the white lady, the red wood wolf, and the party set off to leave Xinjing.

I asked the coachman, how far is it from Shucheng?

The driver told me, "It will take three days and three nights to get there with all my might, and seven days if we are in a normal way." ”

I hummed and asked him to hurry up, but his speed was really not fast, and when he arrived outside the new capital, I asked the coachman to go back, and we figured it out ourselves, and the coachman looked at me in wonder, and said, "My lord, this trip is very far, you don't want to go on foot, right?" ”

I said, of course not. Let him not bother.

The name of the subordinate of Shucheng is Liu Guan.

We walked forward, and when it was night, I let the red timber wolf enlarge in an instant, Liu Guan was still a little surprised at the time, but I was relieved a few words, and it returned to normal. The speed of the red timber wolf is much faster than the speed of a horse-drawn carriage. Galloping all the way, the road that was supposed to take three days and three nights could be arrived almost overnight, and when I arrived in Shudi, I encountered a heavy rain.

It rained very hard, and Liu Guan sat on the back of the red wood wolf, vomiting all the way, and his face had already turned pale.

Coupled with the heavy rain, he coughed a few times, and I asked Liu Guan and said, "Are you okay?" ”

Liu Guan said to me, don't worry, my lord, I'm fine.

We walked towards the front, and along the way we saw a lot of homeless people, dragging their families and mouths outside, basically all of them were yellow and thin.

As soon as we arrived, someone came up to us and asked, "Uncle, can you give me a stutter?" ”

Cao Tianshi directly gave him the dry food he brought, and in an instant, the people he saw and all the homeless people gathered around to eat, and they were crazy to grab them one by one, so there was still a fight.

We hurriedly stepped back, for a bite to eat, did we grab it to such an extent?

I opened my mouth and asked, "Hasn't the relief food from the imperial court arrived?" ”

After I finished speaking, someone immediately said, "Where is the disaster relief food, you tell us, please let us know." ”

My face darkened a little, and they came up to us and asked for food.

Cao Tianshi directly said no.

They struggled and had to give up. Cao Tianshi said: "It seems that the money has been embezzled. ”

I hummed, it was possible.

Looking at the homeless people all over the ground, I sighed heavily. I asked one of the homeless people, "Do you know where the local government is?" ”

The homeless people complained to me: "Those who are in charge have long since left, and we are left to suffer here." ”

As we were talking, a man suddenly walked towards us.
