Since the promulgation of the new regulations, this old guy has been crying in court every day, making extremely unreasonable demands.
To put it bluntly, he wanted his children to gain a high position in the court, and then to ennoble them all according to the rules of their ancestors.
But if you really put these wine bags and rice bags in the court, it won't be long before the great merchants are in danger of ruining the country.
"Old Master!" Murong Bing's patience had obviously reached its limit: "I have long said that after the new laws are implemented, everyone in Dachang will be equal, and the children of the royal family are no exception. If you want a title, you can earn it by yourself!"
Murong Tong seemed unable to hear the anger in Murong Bing's words, but he still relied on his status to rely on his elders.
"Your Majesty, you must have been deceived by these outsiders! Nowadays, those who are entrusted with important tasks in the court are young people in their twenties and thirties. These people are impure and have no stability. How can they govern the country?
Two days ago, a businessman was directly appointed to the title of viscount! Your Majesty, are you so stupid that you would give a businessman a title?"
"Bang!" Murong Bing slapped the table hard and stood up suddenly, murderous intent blooming in his eyes.
"Old Master, do you think I am too kind to you?"
The group of veterans who were still there to echo Murong Tong suddenly fell silent.
Although they were elders of the Great Shang court, Murong Bing belonged to the Great Shang after all, and the emperor held the power of life and death over them.
Shangguan Mu saw that the situation was not right and hurriedly walked out.
"Your Majesty, calm down. I'm afraid the teacher hasn't understood the key to the new law, so that's why..."
Before he finished speaking, a burst of shouting came from outside the hall.
"Great victory in the north, General Bai Hua returns to the imperial city to report on his duties!"
All the civil and military officials in the court suddenly widened their eyes and turned their heads to look outside the hall.
Bai Hua strode into the hall under the gaze of everyone and knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, the royal court of the Xiongnu Mobei has been uprooted. The head of King Hunxie has now been announced to all the tribes in the grassland. Our Great Commercial Law has also been issued accordingly! Mr. Zhao proposed that I hope your Majesty can send officials to go there.
The tribes in the grasslands govern the northern grasslands."
Hearing that this suggestion was made by Zhao Rui, Murong Bing suddenly became excited and almost lost his temper.
She quickly adjusted her mind, leaned on the dragon chair, and looked at the civil and military officials in front of her.
"My dear friends, in less than a month, we have pacified the thirty-six countries in the Western Region and the entire northern grassland. Do you think this feat is unprecedented and unprecedented?"
Murong Bing's tone also became a bit domineering, which frightened all the veterans who had followed Murong Tong before.
Although the Western Region and the Northern Grasslands are barren and have always been regarded as unexplored lands, the land area in these two places is huge.
Now being included in the territory of Dashang, Dashang has expanded its territory by tens of thousands of miles overnight.
This kind of contribution can definitely be regarded as an unparalleled achievement.
Murong Tong, who was kneeling on the ground, was also stunned. The Western Regions had long been cut off from communication with the Central Plains. Over the years, no one except some merchants had set foot in the Western Regions. The tribes in the northern grasslands had been enemies of the great merchants for many years, and there were constant wars.
In the eyes of veterans like them, it is absolutely impossible for these two places to be included in the territory of Dashang.
But now, Zhao Rui did it easily. The most important thing is that he didn't spend much money on food.
