Above the court hall in Luocheng, all the civil and military officials of the court were immersed in an inexplicable joy.
The Great Shang sent five armies to attack Chu. Based on the current national strength of Southern Chu, it will not be long before the Great Shang is destroyed. By then, the Great Shang will not only dominate the world and restore its former glory, but also expand its territory thousands of miles away.
Anyone would be excited to see such a powerful empire rise.
"Your Majesty, when His Highness King Zhao comes back, you must reward him well."
"His Royal Highness King Zhao is already a highly respected minister. Cars, carriages, and ceremonials are all gifts from the emperor. If we add rewards, are we going to let His Highness King Zhao become the emperor?"
...
As soon as these words were spoken, all the civil and military ministers of the court were stunned and looked at the minister who had just spoken.
These words have always been taboo in the court of Dashang. Everyone knows that King Zhao is extremely powerful. He almost has the final say in the entire Dashang. Murong Bing does not ask about state affairs at all on weekdays. He only talks about Zhao.
When Rui was away, he only came out for a few symbolic visits.
If Zhao Rui comes back, he will be the only one left to go to court for them!
Many people are thinking about giving Murong Bing the Zen position to Zhao Rui. This seems to be a matter of course for many people.
But some people are still dissatisfied. After all, Zhao Rui has a foreign surname, and he is a prince with a different surname in Northern Zhao. What will happen if he becomes the emperor?
Therefore, the court was invisibly divided into two factions, but the ministers in high positions would not choose sides at all. They knew that King Zhao and the emperor of Dashang were one and the same.
Shangguan Mu looked coldly at the minister who spoke. It seemed that this person was not selected through an examination, nor was he a student who graduated from Imperial College, but was a veteran left over from the great Shang Dynasty.
So far, there are still many veterans in Dashang's court. These people are basically just serving as corpses and have no real power in their hands. They just hold an empty title.
This was Murong Bing's consideration. They used to work for Dashang, so he kept them here. They only needed to receive their salaries and not cause trouble!
But now this old minister actually said such words, it was obvious that he was trying to please others!
Sure enough, the old minister stood up directly and knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty! The most terrifying thing since ancient times is the powerful minister. Now His Royal Highness King Zhao has become a very powerful minister, and the power he holds in his hands is unparalleled. He doesn't even need your Majesty's jade seal and tiger talisman. He only relies on his royal order and the King Yu sword in his hand.
You can mobilize Dashang’s army at will, don’t you think such a person is too scary?”
Such shocking remarks immediately frightened all the civil and military officials, and the core officials of the cabinet and the six ministries even frowned.
They know the relationship between Murong Bing and Zhao Rui best. They don't distinguish between you and me at all. Moreover, Murong Bing once revealed that it is not impossible to give up the entire world to Zhao Rui.
This guy actually jumped out and said such words. He clearly intended to sow discord between Murong Bin and Zhao Rui and was simply seeking death.
"Presumptuous!" Shangguan Mu raised the jade guide in his hand: "His Royal Highness, King Zhao, how can you allow you to comment casually?"
"Shangguan Qing's family!" Murong Bing's face became a little more playful: "I think this dear friend's words are quite pleasing to the ear, why don't you just listen to them!"
Hearing this, the veteran became even more excited. In his opinion, Murong Bing allowed him to accuse Zhao Rui of his crimes.
