For a long ti.
The existence of the Heibing Platform seed invincible, but now it’s completely annihilated?
Not even a single person escaped back.
This is truly too severe.
"The presence behind the Immortals’ Liquor House is too secretive, and they possess strong powers."
"If it were not for absolute suppression, my Heibingtai Anshi could not possibly fail to escape." Dunruo said solemnly.
Dunruo, being the chief of this generation’s Heibing Platform, knows best how strong his Anshi are.
Ying Zheng remained silently contemplative.
"Great King."
"I propose to directly send troops to encircle the Immortals’ Liquor House."
"Thus resolving the threat posed by the Immortals’ Liquor House." Dunruo said respectfully.
Ying Zheng raised his hand: "The Immortals’ Liquor House has not violated any laws, on what grounds should I deploy troops?"
"After the Immortals’ Liquor House entered Qin, they paid a considerable amount of taxes and strictly adhered to the law."
"The investigation by Heibing Platform was also unknown."
"If I act against the Immortals’ Liquor House, forcing them into another country, it will be a significant loss of wealth, which is unacceptable." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.
The royal authority is indeed supre, not to be defied.
But royal authority is also controlled by a hierarchical structure, with laws being a crucial part.
If the king himself ignores the laws and acts without reason, it will greatly undermine his authority, and his ministers will follow suit.
Within Qin.
Laws constrain everything.
Tingwei exists to enforce law and hold the authority over it.
The laws of the Shang dynasty state that offenses against the law by kings and nobles are treated equally.
This is not false.
"Must we endure such a great loss?"
"The Immortals’ Liquor House is too mysterious; if it’s not thoroughly investigated, I can’t rest easy." Dunruo said bitterly.
Originally, the strength of Heibing Platform radiated across the world, and no country could avoid its scrutiny.
But now there is a force right under our noses, yet Heibing Platform can’t do anything about it; this is frustrating for Dunruo, and he feels unwilling.
"Naturally, the loss cannot be simply endured."
"Formulate a more rigorous plan. We must thoroughly investigate the Immortals’ Liquor House."
"If there is evidence confirming the Immortals’ Liquor House as another country’s espionage, present the evidence imdiately." Ying Zheng said solemnly.
"Understood." Dunruo accepted the order respectfully.
He then withdrew.
Ying Zheng pondered: "Immortals’ Liquor House."
"So formidable, it is likely not a foreign power."
"But for such a force to suddenly exist and take shape is utterly peculiar."
"If it’s truly uncontrollable and seeks to spy on Qin, then I can only deploy troops to destroy it."
"If there are no grounds, then fabricate a charge." Ying Zheng thought inwardly.
This issue with the Immortals’ Liquor House is a defeat for Heibing Platform, and perhaps for Ying Zheng as well.
The next day!
Court discussion comnces!
After the court etiquette.
"Yu Qing."
"Have the provisions and logistics for Yunzhong been prepared?" Ying Zheng asked Yu Liao.
"Please be assured, Great King."
"I have personally overseen this matter; the necessary provisions will be delivered from Zhao Territory, and if there is a shortage, it will be sent from Guanzhong to ensure Yunzhong City’s provisions are sufficient."
"Besides."
"The military uniform and battle armor needed for the new soldiers."
"Shaofu is also making full efforts, and it will all be delivered to Yunzhong City within half a year." Yu Liao responded imdiately.
As the most crucial among the Nine Ministers, Yu Liao, holding this position, naturally has great power.
It’s not just about military achievents; logistics and supplies are also under Shaofu’s concern.
Ying Zheng certainly has not handed this position to the wrong person.
"Yu Qing does well."
"As Yunzhong City’s Wu’an Military Camp is newly established, with many matters to attend to, Yu Qing must oversee all military-related matters personally." Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction.
"Please be assured, Great King."
"I have always been in correspondence with General Zhao Feng, and if Wu’an Military Camp encounters issues, the General will undoubtedly inform."
"I can handle minor matters myself, but for major issues, I will report directly to the Great King." Yu Liao said imdiately.
Ying Zheng was naturally more satisfied with Yu Liao’s attitude.
Many minor matters in court do not need reporting, yet many ministers insist on reporting everything, which causes Ying Zheng to read useless petitions and waste ti, despite his repeated instructions that even officials and subordinates continue this practice.
The petitions reviewed at Zhangtai Palace are not limited to Xianyang but co from all parts of the Great Qin Empire.
They are gathered from County Governors, then Prefectural Governors, before being presented to the capital, compiled by the two Pri Ministers, and then submitted to Zhang Platform.
This process illustrates how extensive the petition volu can be.
"Alright, let’s continue the deliberations." Ying Zheng didn’t say much and let the ministers continue presenting their matters.
After a considerable duration.
No more ministers had issues to present.
Ying Zheng then slowly opened his mouth: "One month later is Empress Dowager Huayang’s birthday; I have not personally been to Yong City to celebrate with Tai Hou for two years."
"Therefore."
"I have decided."
"After court deliberation, I will depart for Yong City."
Once he said this.
It was like a thunderous explosion among the ministers, leaving many shocked.
But soon.
Imdiately, an old fox caught on.
Wang Wan imdiately stood up: "May I ask the Great King, if the Great King will be in Yong City for a month, how should the affairs of governance be determined?"
Ying Zheng looked at Wang Wan, subtly smiling to himself.
"There is no need for the Pri Minister to worry about governance matters; since Father King has decided to set off for Yong City, surely he has already arranged everything." Hu Hai promptly directed Wang Wan.
