If it weren't for the system designed by Zhao Rui, which allowed the court to operate on its own and had a cabinet that could decide on major issues in the court, she would probably have been unable to remain emperor.
Sima Shang coughed twice and walked out slowly with the jade guide.
"The veteran feels that this matter should not be rushed. We should wait and see what happens next and see what Nanchu's next move will be."
The court room that was noisy just now suddenly became quiet.
After all, Sima Shang was also a senator-level figure, and he was in charge of the cabinet. Not only was he the Tang Guogong of the Great Shang Dynasty, he was also named Grand Master some time ago, so his words in the court still carry weight.
Murong Bing straightened her body slightly.
"What the old master said is true. Nan Chu has been deploying troops abroad for almost a year. It must be that its national strength is about to be exhausted. We will just wait for them to fight with each other. The final profit will definitely go to my great merchant."
All the civil and military officials present raised their jade guis.
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
Murong Bing breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't like the noisy court.
"In this case, let's put the matter of Nanchu aside and discuss it later! Half a month ago, His Highness King Zhao ordered someone to send back a new map, which he said was the latest territory of my Dashang. After reading it, I suddenly realized
My heart is surging, so I invite you all to watch it together today."
After saying this, twenty-four Qianyu Guards dragged the huge map scroll to the court hall carefully, and then unfolded it.
Murong Bing stood up and pointed at the map.
"The land marked with the ink brush on it is all the territory of my great merchant!"
All the civil and military officials in the court suddenly widened their eyes.
Although many of them are well-read and have visited many places, they have never heard of some of the countries and regions marked on this map.
A few months ago, when Bai Hua came back, he also brought a map of the territory. They had heard of Anxi, Persia and other places on it.
They have never heard of the Garuda Kingdom, Khwarezm, Harsha Empire and other regions, but now a large area of these places has become the territory of their great merchants.
"In other words, today's great merchants have surrounded the entire Tubo Kingdom!" Shan Xin immediately became excited: "Your Majesty, I guess that His Highness King Zhao's next plan is to destroy Tubo!"
"That's right!" Liang Zhang also agreed: "Tubo has done great harm to our great merchants. They have attacked Xishu, Sanchuan and other places more than once before. If they can be destroyed, it will be a huge benefit to our great merchants without any harm."
Sima Shang and Chen He were even more excited. They had never seen such a vast territory in their entire lives.
Although they cannot analyze it from a military perspective at the first time, they have not lived in vain to see Da Dao control such a vast territory in their lifetime.
Just as everyone was sighing in front of the map, a Qianyu Guard hurriedly entered the hall.
"His Royal Highness King Zhao returns to the palace!"
This shout immediately silenced the court.
Murong Bing even walked down from the dragon chair excitedly and reached the center of the hall, as if she wanted to greet Zhao Rui personally.
All the civil and military ministers retreated to both sides and returned to their original positions. Their faces showed respect from the bottom of their hearts.
