The Emperor also found it baffling that Marquis Dongxiang was eager to take on this task.
Praying to heaven for rain is not a trivial matter and should not be taken lightly.
Moreover, Duke Chong opposed with well-founded reasons, so the Emperor couldn't just disregard him and assign the task to Marquis Dongxiang.
Especially since Duke Chong wasn't the only one objecting, the Emperor said, "It's indeed inappropriate to hand this matter to Marquis Dongxiang."
Just as Duke Chong breathed a sigh of relief and was about to feel glad, the Emperor spoke again, "Let's have Prince NanAn handle this matter."
Duke Chong nearly choked on his breath.
Even though the task wasn't given to Marquis Dongxiang, who doesn't know that Prince NanAn is practically in league with him now?!
Especially since Prince NanAn had just broken his son's leg.
He opposed giving the task to Marquis Dongxiang, and the Emperor gave it to Prince NanAn.
