Chapter 629

~5 min read 850 words

The ministers were no ordinary people.

Among those who could mingle in the imperial court, how many were simple?

They were likely all seasoned veterans.

How could they not see that Zhang Han was looking down on them?

They immediately fought back.

"Hmph, a bunch of country bumpkins who have never seen the world."

Zhang Han snorted coldly; he just wanted to express that his knowledge was broader than theirs.

Who knew this group's tolerance was so small that they got angry immediately.

"Who are you calling a country bumpkin?"

"You're the country bumpkin; your whole family is country bumpkins."

"Do you know how to speak? If you don't, we'll teach you."

The ministers retorted directly.

They said all sorts of things.

Zhang Han didn't want to talk anymore; one mouth against dozens, it would be a miracle if he didn't lose.

He took the telescope out of his sleeve and used it amidst the ministers' cursing.

He didn't care how the ministers cursed him; he looked into the distance with the telescope.

"Hmm, the effect of this immortal telescope is truly good; I can actually see two vendors arguing."

"Looking at this situation, I reckon they might start fighting in a moment."

The ministers gradually quieted down.

Because some of them had heard "immortal telescope."

As soon as these five words entered their ears, they were stunned.

Immortal telescope?

This name sounds so familiar!

It feels like I've heard it somewhere before, a sense of déjà vu.

Everyone stopped cursing Zhang Han and looked at the object in his hand.

Suddenly, someone had a realization in their mind and finally remembered.

Previously at the Qilin Hall, news came back from the northern border.

The immortal telescope was mentioned last time!

It was precisely because of this immortal telescope that they were able to capture the Xiongnu.

At that time, their thoughts were the same; they felt it was fabricated.

How could there be such a magical thing in this world?

Being able to see clearly dozens of miles away, isn't that nonsense?

Yet the legendary item had now appeared before their eyes.

Hearing the name again, why does it feel so familiar?

So it was heard before; no wonder it felt familiar.

The ministers couldn't care about attacking Zhang Han anymore.

"General Zhang, what did you say this was called?"

Someone asked, fearing they had heard wrong.

"Weren't you cursing quite happily just now?"

"Why are you asking me now?"

Zhang Han didn't even have the intention of putting down the telescope.

He retorted until the ministers had nothing to say.

"Your Majesty, what is General Zhang holding in his hand?"

Seeing that Zhang Han wouldn't speak, Feng Quji turned to look at the First Emperor.

"Go ask him; don't bother me."

"I don't have time to deal with you either."

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he also took an identical object from his sleeve.

He walked to the side and started looking, ignoring the ministers entirely.

Seeing this, the ministers looked at each other.

Is this thing really the immortal telescope?

Why are there two identical ones?

The ministers scratched their heads, urgently wanting to know what this was about.

Thus, a strange scene appeared.

The group of people who had just been attacking Zhang Han ran to his side to curry favor.

Some asked if he was tired, claiming they would bring a chair for him to sit on.

Some asked what he wanted to eat, claiming they would send it to him.

There were all sorts of things; if you could think of it, they could do it.

There was even a minister who claimed he would find a concubine for Zhang Han.

This shocked Zhang Han so much he almost fell off the sixth floor.

This group of people truly stopped at nothing.

To know what this thing was, they even abandoned their bottom line.

"Are you still court ministers?"

"Have you abandoned all shame?"

Zhang Han finally put down the telescope and looked at the group with a helpless expression.

Only now did he realize that these old fellows were truly shameless.

A moment ago, they were cursing him to his face.

The next moment, they were fawning over him.

"Shame? What is that? Can you eat it?"

"That's right, what's the use of shame?"

"What we want is the immortal telescope!"

"By the way, General Zhang, we were wrong; please be magnanimous and forgive us."

"Is this really the immortal telescope?"

The ministers' expressions were eager; they didn't feel the slightest bit embarrassed.

They just wanted to know what they wanted to know.

Besides, one person being shameless is called shameless, but a group of people being shameless is not called shameless.

That is called working together; it is curiosity about new things that needs to be explored.

If you don't understand, you must ask; even if you get beaten, it's worth it!

These words were said by the Crown Prince.

They felt it made a lot of sense; if it's worth it to be beaten, what's there to fear about being cursed?
