The next day.
Zhangtai Palace.
All the officials gathered here.
The atmosphere in the entire court was unusually heavy. Everyone's face was filled with seriousness, and there was no sign of their usual relaxed attitude.
"I wonder how the king will deal with Chehou today?”
"This Marquis Che is extremely daring, he actually killed Marquis Changxin without permission, not even leaving a single person alive in the mansion.”
"Troubled times, troubled times!”
The officials discussed in whispers.
"The king has arrived ~"
The eunuch shouted at the top of his lungs.
The ministers were shocked and immediately stood in formation, looking up at the court.
But in the next second, the expressions of all the ministers changed drastically. Their eyes were filled with shock, as if they had seen something unbelievable!
"This…"
Even Lu Buwei was shocked when he saw this.
Because Ying Zheng was not the only one who came out of the royal court.
There was another figure beside him.
This figure was Su Mu!
How could they not be shocked?!
The culprit was here, and he was with the king.
Originally, they were prepared to impeach Su Mu in the morning court today, but they saw such an absurd scene.
"Your Majesty, Su Mu is only a Marquis Che. Isn't this a little too much?”
The Lord of Changping, Mi Qi, suddenly stood up and cupped his hands.
Swoosh!
But right after that, Ying Zheng's dragon eyes burst out with a mighty pressure, pressing down on Mi Qi.
When Mi Qi felt the pressure, he immediately retreated obediently and stopped talking.
"Court ~"
The eunuch spoke again,
All the officials in the court cupped their hands and saluted. They shouted three times in unison,
"Ten thousand years for the Great King, ten thousand years for the Great Qin!"
"Ten thousand years for the Great King, ten thousand years for the Great Qin!"
"Ten thousand years for the Great King, ten thousand years for the Great Qin!"
By the time they got up, they saw Su Mu sitting next to Lu Buwei.
Lu Buwei's expression changed slightly.
He knew what this meant.
His position was below Ying Zheng and above all the officials.
In all of Great Qin, only he could sit here.
But now, there was another person besides him, which made him very unhappy.
Ying Zheng raised his dragon eyes slightly and looked down at all the ministers and officials below him. A supreme domineering aura slowly enveloped the entire imperial court, and he could see the endless bewilderment in their eyes.
"If there's anything, report. If there's nothing, leave the court ~"
As soon as the eunuch finished speaking, some of the officials below could not stand still.
"Your Majesty, the news about Marquis Che has been spreading like wildfire in Xianyang City recently.”
"Just raising private soldiers in Xianyang City is an unforgivable crime!”
"Besides, it's said that Marquis Che has killed Lao Ai, Marquis of Changxin, as well as a hundred people from his manor. Not a single one of them survived!”
"These actions have seriously violated the laws of our country!”
As one of the Nine Ministers and in charge of Great Qin's judicial system, Hu Jin stepped out and reported to Ying Zheng with conviction.
"Not bad!"
"Yes, we must punish him severely!"
"We must let him know that the laws of Qin cannot be touched!”
The surrounding officials nodded in agreement.
"Don't you know better than me what Lao Ai has done?”
"If you still care about Great Qin, you should understand the benefits and disadvantages of this matter better than I do!”
Ying Zheng threw a glance at the crowd below.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was because Lao Ai had been conferred the title of Marquis Changxin, and he had been acting recklessly and arrogantly, which had caused the other six dynasties to be restless against Great Qin!
If Lao Ai did not die, he was afraid that the last of Great Qin's territory would be gone!
"This..."
For a moment, the ministers below were at a loss, and their brows furrowed again.
"Cough cough ~"
"Your Majesty, you must not act on impulse in the court.”
Seeing the awkward atmosphere in the court, Lu Buwei reminded him in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, I believe that no matter what, Chehou Su Mu has already violated the laws of the Qin Country!”
"If we don't punish him according to the law today, the same example will definitely happen in the future!”
"Every country has its laws, and every family has its rules!"
"If even the ministers and citizens of the empire don't obey the law, then this country will soon be destroyed!”
Zhang Jie, who was also one of the nine ministers, also stood up and said forcefully.
"Your Majesty, please punish him according to the law!"
At the same time, some of the other ministers also stepped forward and gave Ying Zheng their advice.
"According to the law?"
Su Mu slowly raised his head, and his abyss-like gaze swept across every minister.
Silence!
The entire imperial court fell silent!
The ministers who had just stepped forward to advise him lowered their heads and did not dare to look him in the eye.
Then…
Su Mu stood up, and an invisible pressure immediately spread through the entire court like ripples.
The officials felt their hearts beating faster and faster, and some even found it difficult to breathe.
Oppressive!
An invisible pressure!
It was even more overbearing than the emperor's aura that Ying Zheng released as an emperor!
At this moment, Su Mu was looking down at all the officials in the court with an extremely domineering attitude.
Gulp!
Some of the ministers could not help but swallow their saliva silently. Their backs were already drenched in sweat.
In their hearts, a thought popped up at the same time.
At the same time, he also understood why the king had conferred the title of Marquis on Su Mu.
With such an expert in Great Qin, who would dare to attack Great Qin?!
"Who has any objections to the whole matter?”
Su Mu's voice echoed throughout the entire court.
Ying Zheng had no intention of stopping him.
He had said before that he would support Su Mu unconditionally.
Therefore, he would still stand on Su Mu's side this time.
All the officials lowered their heads, and no one dared to stand up to advise him.
They all wanted to live a few more years.
Some of the officials who had always chosen to turn a blind eye were secretly delighted at this moment.
Lu Buwei just sat there without moving.
However, his expression was unusually ugly at the moment.
At the same time, he was also worried.
He was worried that after this, his position in Great Qin would be shaken.
After all, there was such an expert in Great Qin.
Then, those guests in his mansion would naturally choose to curry favor with Su Mu.
Once that happened.
Wouldn't that be equivalent to giving up power in disguise?!
Lu Buwei felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.
However, he still chose to wait until the morning court session was over and he returned to his Prime Minister's residence to discuss it.
If he spoke now, he would undoubtedly be the first to stand out.
