Shangguan Mudun was a little at a loss. In the eyes of ordinary people, it was a great gift for the emperor to trust him so much, but it was not necessarily a good thing in the court.
Some people may even impeach him for this, monopolizing the government and acting as a powerful minister.
Fortunately, Legalist laws are very complete. Once all the laws are promulgated, no matter how high the status of the minister is, it will not be possible for him to monopolize the government affairs.
After a moment of confusion, he gradually handed it to Zhao Rui helplessly.
"Master Zhao, this law is relevant to you, how about..."
Shangguan Mu didn't finish what he said, and the current situation really put him in a difficult position.
Zhao Rui was stunned for a moment when he saw the decree. It clearly stated that eunuchs were not allowed to interfere in politics.
Isn't this the law against him?
Zhao Rui didn't have much to say, so he quickly spread out the decree in front of Murong Bing.
His status as an eunuch is indeed embarrassing, and for such a long time, he, the eunuch, has been in charge of all matters in the court, which has made many people dissatisfied.
Murong Bing frowned as he looked at the bamboo slips in front of him. This was not only a national decree, but also an ancestral instruction.
No matter which country there are in the world, there is zero tolerance for eunuchs interfering in politics.
Many of the talents above the court were recruited by Zhao Rui. Of course, I dare not do anything to Zhao Rui, but as time goes by, there will always be people gossiping.
Moreover, Dashang is the suzerain state of the whole world. Even if other vassal states do not recognize it, they will still come to Longcheng to force the palace by claiming that eunuchs are interfering in politics.
They might even forcibly carve up the remaining territory of the great merchants.
The imperial study room suddenly fell silent, and several people present did not dare to speak. They looked at Murong Bing and waited for her to make a decision.
"This is a decree left by our ancestors, of course we must keep it!"
Murong Bing put away the bamboo slips on the table. After all, she had been the emperor for such a long time and still knew the importance of laws.
Moreover, many times in history, eunuchs interfered in politics and caused great chaos in the imperial city. The territory of the great merchants shrank and retreated to the northern border. This was partly because of the eunuchs' interference in government.
Bai Hua and Shangguan Mu were stunned for a moment. If this law really stayed, Zhao Rui would definitely die.
Such talents are great talents in governing the country no matter where they are placed, and both of them were selected by Zhao Rui.
The two people immediately panicked, exchanged glances with each other, and prepared to go to the street to persuade Murong Bing to slow down the law a little, or find some reason to let Zhao Rui get rid of his status as a eunuch.
Unexpectedly, Murong Bing patted the table and stood up domineeringly.
"Now that Shangguanqing's family has brought out this law, I won't hold it back and hide it. In fact, Zhao Rui is not a eunuch!"
Bai Hua and Shangguan Mu's eyes widened immediately. They never dreamed of such a result.
Zhao Rui was also stunned. Is Murong Bing trying to correct himself for him?
Murong Bing slowly walked down the steps.
"Both of you were selected by Zhao Rui, so you're saying that with his abilities and talents, how can he be a eunuch?"
Shangguan Mu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Mr. Zhao's talent and learning put even the lower officials to shame. How could a eunuch who lives deep in the palace have such ability? Even the lower officials believed him if he was the direct son of a noble family.
