At dawn, in the Phoenix Palace, all the civil and military officials were already in their positions, but His Majesty had not yet arrived.
Your Majesty is diligent in governing, and such a situation is rare. Gradually, some unrest has arisen, and there is no shortage of discussion.
In the Phoenix Palace, the Empress's bedroom, Qin Minghuang's face was ashen.
I just received a secret letter from Yin Zhe: underground dams, blast furnaces for iron smelting, and private iron casting are tantamount to treason!
Normally, a Xuanji Guard at the Divine Martial Realm would have been enough to escort them, but with such a major case involved, they might not be able to handle it.
No wonder Yin Zhe asked for help, and even made it clear that he needed to reach the Divine Martial Realm.

"Your Majesty, we just received news this morning that the current sect leader of the Tianyan Sect has entered Fengjing, but we do not yet know the reason."
If I leave now, the garrison in the capital will likely be…
This time, Qin Minghuang frowned deeply.
The sorcerer of the Tianyan Sect, after fourteen years of silence, has returned to Fengjing, and it is the current sect leader who has come, which is yet another troublesome matter.
After a moment's hesitation, Qin Minghuang made a cold and decisive statement: "It's alright, I trust the officials of the Ziwei Terrace. Liuyan, protect the eldest and the sixth child."
"yes!"
"When investigating a case, you might as well ask Xiao Liu for his opinion."
"Yes! Uh..."
Liu Yanhuangshen: Your Majesty, do you want to listen to what you're saying? Me? Xuanji Guard? Who am I supposed to ask?
Qin Minghuang waved his sleeve, "Never mind, I'm afraid she'll be lazy, so I'll write you an imperial edict..."
