Just as Ying Zheng finished his words…
The entire hall fell into dead silence, and everyone looked at Ying Zheng in shock.
He did not expect Ying Zheng to suddenly pull such a move.
Before this, the West Hall had already dispatched some people outside the city to kill.
But in the eyes of all the officials and generals in the court, it was a battle between Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei.
But now?
How was this still the battle between Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei?
It was because Ying Zheng wanted to truly take power, to get the power that belonged to him, even more exaggerated than the ordinary royal power.
Acting first and reporting later, the royal authority granted special permission!
Give him the sword of the Qin Dynasty and monitor the world!
Just these few people alone were enough to imagine how powerful and terrifying the West Hall was!
Even Meng Ao, who had stood up to rebuke Lu Buwei, was stunned. He looked at Xia Ning with a look of disbelief and deep shock-was she planning to give all of Great Qin's power to one person?
No!
That was not right.
Meng Ao's heart trembled. It wasn't just one person, but two.
Ying Zheng was one of them, but the one who benefited the most was the Governor of the West Hall!
Xia Ning was the real executor, and also the true ruler. Whether it was the Startling Salamander or the West Hall, they were all his.
Not Ying Zheng's.
Lu Buwei felt a chill run down his spine, and his face was deathly pale.
Even when the weapons were discovered, he was not as shocked and frightened as he was now.
It was because he had an excuse and a reason when the weapons were discovered.
At most, he would lose his position as prime minister, but his foundation and trump cards would still be there.
On the surface, he still had the righteousness to uphold. Because he had contributed greatly to Great Qin, Ying Zheng did not dare to act recklessly.
But now?
The establishment of the West Hall was to cut off Lu Buwei's roots.
With the power of the West Hall, if there was such a thing, they could even act first and report later.
Ying Zheng only needed to push everything onto Xia Ning.
Most importantly, the West Hall was not just Ying Zheng, nor was it the righteous cause of a king.
But a huge and terrifying organization
West Hall.
Governor.
From now on, it would cause all of Great Qin to tremble!
Suddenly.
A figure suddenly stood out and said loudly,"Your Majesty, although the armament issue is extremely important, the West Chamber will bring disaster to the country. Your Majesty, please take back your orders and be considerate of the people of Great Qin. Otherwise, once the West Chamber is established, it will be a disaster!”
"The power and influence of the West Hall!"
"Too wanton!"
His voice was solemn and grand, mixed with the might of heaven and earth.
Its rules and solemn intent appeared in the world.
He was He Zhong, a member of Legalism and the current chief justice of the Supreme Court.
He was already fifty-six years old and had experienced three generations of kings. Even Lu Buwei had to respect him for his age.
Especially the realm of the great grandmaster of Legalism.
His methods were extremely cruel and he was famous during Ying Ji's era.
His personality was cruel and violent.
The reason why the West Military Court had come out to fight was because it involved the foundation of the country and the responsibility of the chief justice.
If the West Military Court was established, wouldn't the chief justice be suppressed?
The latter was more crucial.
Lu Buwei's eyes flashed with joy. This person had stood up to help him withstand the lightning.
However, Wang Jian and Meng Ao were frowning deeply. They felt that He Zhong's actions were not giving Ying Zheng face, especially when there was the matter with Lu Buwei. Now that the King had taken advantage of the situation to establish the West Chamber, it was a matter of righteousness on Ying Zheng's side.
How could he stop her so brazenly!
Moreover, since the king dared to do this, he was naturally prepared.
She jumped too quickly.
He had underestimated the King's transformation.
Especially since they all knew He Zhong. This person seemed to be impassioned, but in fact, he had only touched on his interests.
"Lord Chief Justice…"
Xia Ning slowly walked down the stairs as she stared at him with her icy eyes. She didn't give face to this chief justice at all,"Do you care about the great power of the West Military Court or your interests?”
"Benefits?"
The chief justice suddenly raised his head as he watched him with icy eyes,"What benefits can this old man get?"
"It seems that the chief justice doesn't know that.”Xia Ning turned around, her back facing the light and shadow so that no one could see his expression. She said,""The current chief justice is full of holes. Some colluded with Xiongnu;”
"Take Zhang Ming as an example. He once said that he could be pardoned even if he was sentenced to death for 10,000 gold taels.”
"Dare I ask!"
"Lord, do you know?"
"Dare I ask!"
Zhang Ming, is this true?"
After hearing Zhang Tie's words, Zhang Ming who was standing beside the chief justice became restless at once.
"Impudent!" The chief justice rebuked angrily as he released his qi all over. The rich will of law and logic filled the entire palace while the power of heaven and earth gathered. Under the influence of the power of rules, people felt extremely depressed and suffocated.
Rules!
This was the power of Legalism!
Law! It was the rules!
"This old man has been in charge of the Supreme Court for many years.”The chief justice said righteously," Zhang Ming is this old man's subordinate. He's always fierce. How dare he say that!"”
"Heh." Xia Ning laughed lightly, unexpectedly not being affected by this imposing manner at all, clapping her hands: ""Startling Salamander, bring out the evidence of Zhang Ming accepting bribes and releasing the prisoner on death row. Also, find out the conversation between Zhang Ming and Miss Ah Hong on Vermilion Bird Street yesterday.”
"What?"
"Are they monitoring Zhang Ming?"
" They're already prepared. This time around, the West Hall…"
The officials whispered to each other, looking at Xia Ning who was standing there in horror, their hearts suddenly feeling a little nervous.
There weren't many people present who were clean.
If they really wanted to find out the problem, or if there were really spies from the West Hall, then it would be completely over.
Meng Ao and Wang Jian both sighed softly. They knew that this was the case.
Ying Zheng's cultivation base, Xia Ning's cultivation base, and Lady Zhao's ability to listen to politics from behind the curtain had caused a great change in the net.
All of this was planned by a big hand behind the scenes.
What he did.
Ask for.
It was likely that even today, when Ying Zheng's royal power was fully established, it was also for the sake of West Hall.
How could he not be prepared?
"How dare you!" He Zhong, the chief justice of the Supreme Court, roared furiously at once while his qi of Dharma and Logos increased sharply once again, which even made everybody feel a bit suffocated. Apparently, he was furious. He stared at Xia Ning with extremely cold eyes as he said word by word,"How dare you spy on the officials!"
"Heh." Xia Ning chuckled again and said indifferently,""Lord justice, are you trying to oppress me with your power?”
"Or do you want to use martial arts to violate the ban?"
"It's just that…"
"Even if it's using power to suppress others and using martial arts to violate the rules.”
"Let's see who's more powerful! Who is stronger and who is weaker!"
