Supreme Court.
The eunuchs in the palace entered the Supreme Court to inform the civil and military officials to attend the court meeting.
After the eunuch reported to Zhao Mu and Meng Yi, he turned to Chen Gongjin, the internal historian of grain management, and said,"His Majesty wants Lord Chen to have a full meal, take a bath, change into new clothes, and enter the court!”
Chen Gongjin's eyes were filled with fear. A full meal and a new set of clothes?
When Chen Gongjin thought of the memorial to the throne, he collapsed to the ground, unable to move!
"Lord justice, this humble official has to go now.”
"Minister, please go first. I will tell you about the affairs in the Supreme Court before going to court!”
After Zhao Mu finished speaking, he turned to Chen Gongjin and said,"Lord Chen, there's a bathtub in the Supreme Court. I've also moved your new clothes to the Supreme Court.”
Chen Gongjin turned to look at Zhao Mu and said eagerly,"Lord justice, please spare this humble man's life. This humble man will follow Lord justice for sure…"
Chen Gongjin, as the internal historian of the grain, actually said such humble words at this time. It could be seen that he was already extremely afraid.
Zhao Mu sighed." Lord Chen, it's not that I want to punish you. If you have anything to say, please speak to His Majesty in court."”
When Chen Gongjin heard Zhao Mu's words, he was completely disheartened. How could he dare to see the First Emperor?
How could he face the First Emperor?
"Cao Can!"
"My lord!"
"Go and help Lord Chen wash up and change into a new official uniform. If anything happens to Lord Chen, I'll hold you responsible!”
"Ling Ming!"
Cao Can walked to Chen Gongjin's side and lifted him up from the ground.""Lord Chen, I'll take you to bathe and change your clothes!”
Chen Gongjin raised his head and looked at Cao Can. He was the jailer who followed Zhao Mu from Pei County and was also the person he had once mocked.
Slaughtering dogs and selling meat, playing sheng, driving carts, county officials, jailers…
Now, they only needed a scoundrel and a gambler to gather the small fries at the bottom.
Coincidentally, Pei County had ready-made scoundrels and gamblers.
Liu Bang was a scoundrel, Lu Wan was a gambler, and Liu Bang sprained his ankle because he sent a letter to Zhao Mu. He was still recuperating in Pei County, so he didn't come with them…
If Liu Bang and Lu Wan also entered Xianyang, Zhao Mu would be surrounded by a lot of people. He would be able to gather all the insignificant people…
Chen Gongjin had never thought that one day, he would be questioned by a county official.
When Cao Can carried Chen Gongjin away, Chen Gongjin turned to look at Xiao He. Although he had been schemed against by Xiao He, Chen Gongjin had to admire Xiao He's ability to govern the world. Being a county official was really unfair to him. With this ability to resolve cases, it was more than enough for him to be the prime minister!
After Cao Can carried Chen Gongjin away, Zhao Mu looked at Xiao He's red eyes and said,""Xiao He, go and sleep. Leave the rest to me!”
"Sir, I can hold on!"
"This is not a matter of whether you can hold on or not. It's just that you've already completed your own matter. You can't interfere in the following matters.”
Xiao He could hear the words of protection from Zhao Mu's words.
The next battle would be between the nine ministers and the clans!
Only Zhao Mu could fight on this battlefield. The others couldn't bear the attacks of the officials. After all, Xiao He was only Zhao Mu's strategist. They weren't powerful people!
The royal family might be afraid of Zhao Mu, but they would never be afraid of Xiao He, who was neither a high official nor a noble.
"Understood!"
Xiao He understood what Zhao Mu was thinking. Zhao Mu was protecting Xiao He.
Zhao Mu left for Xianyang by carriage. The Supreme Court was still in order. Without the order of Meng Yi, the 30,000 soldiers and horses would not retreat!
These days, Xiao He had indeed exhausted all his energy, sorting out the files, searching for the criminals, and settling the case in court…
Xiao He had not slept for three days and four nights.
Now that Zhao Mu had taken on all the responsibilities, Xiao He, who had relaxed, actually felt unprecedentedly relaxed.
"Xia Houying, Zhou Bo…"
"Lord Xiao…"
"I will take a rest. Don't step out of the Supreme Court in case of trouble. His Excellency will shoulder everything for us!”
"Lord Xiao, don't worry. We will not leave the Supreme Court.”
Xiao He went to the bedroom to rest after he had settled everything.
No matter what storm was outside the Supreme Court, Champion Marquis would shoulder it alone!
Xiao He and the others in the Supreme Court were all under the protection of Zhao Mu!
As long as Zhao Mu was in power, he would be a towering tree that would support the sky for Xiao He!
……
On the bluestone square in front of Xianyang Palace!
All the officials were gathered here.
What happened last night caused a huge earthquake, and many officials were terrified.
They really couldn't figure out the Marquis Champion's background.
What was the Marquis Champion trying to do by capturing so many people last night?
Moreover, Chen Gongjin, the internal history of the government, was also arrested!
Li Si and Feng Quji, on the other hand, acted as if it had nothing to do with them. One of them was the Left Prime Minister, and the other was the Right Prime Minister. Each was more cunning than the other.
They snatched things that were beneficial faster than anyone else.
They were never seen doing things that didn't benefit them…
"Eh, why isn't Imperial Censor Wang Wan here?”Supreme Wei Wei Liao said.
" The Imperial Censor's mansion has a guest rejection sign. I heard that Wang Wan caught a cold and is not allowed to go out…" an important official of the court said.
" I don't think he caught a cold by accident. I'm afraid he caught a cold from fright, haha…" Wei Liao laughed.
The only people who dared to joke around with Wang Wan were Wei Liao and the Left and Right Prime Ministers.
Just as the officials were discussing among themselves.
A carriage arrived at Xianyang Palace. It was none other than High Official Meng Yi.
Last night, Meng Yi mobilized 30,000 troops into Xianyang. In this world, he was probably the only one who dared to do so. If it were anyone else, they would have been punished for treason.
However, since Meng Yi dared to send 30,000 troops into Xianyang, he must have obtained the Tiger Tally from His Majesty…
Military movements required one yin and one yang, and two tiger talismans.
The Emperor had a Tiger Tally, and the General had a Tiger Tally!
When High Official Meng Yi arrived outside Xianyang Palace, he didn't talk to the other officials. He just sat on the carriage and closed his eyes to rest. Everyone could see that a storm was brewing!
Zhao Mu and Meng Yi were in the eye of the storm!
Not much time!
Another two carriages arrived outside Xianyang Palace.
One of the carriages was the spirited and handsome Marquis Champion, Zhao Mu.
In the other carriage, Chen Gongjin, the internal secretary of the government, stood up with a pale face. He looked at the officials in the court, his eyes eagerly searching for a figure!
No!
How could there be none!
His Majesty has allowed all the officials to attend the court!
Now, all the civil and military officials were present!
Why was he not here?
In the carriage, Chen Gongjin stomped his feet and pounded his chest, lamenting that he had met a bad person!
Zhao Gao added insult to injury!
But he didn't even attend court!
He was avoiding me like he was avoiding the God of Plagues!
……
The gates of Xianyang Palace opened wide. A eunuch walked out of the palace and shouted,""The First Emperor has summoned all the officials to the palace!”
All the civil and military officials of the court entered Xianyang Palace. Only Imperial Censor Wang Wan was absent.
Chen Gongjin walked along the pathway of Xianyang Palace, turning his head every three steps and every five steps. Even when the gate of Xianyang Palace was closed, he still did not see the figure he had been expecting!
……
At this moment, in the main hall of Xianyang Palace!
The First Emperor was already standing there with his hands behind his back!
All the civil and military officials entered the palace!
