The Royal Palace of Great Zhou was vast and occupied thousands of eunuchs and ladies-in-waiting. There are many buildings with many unused parts. Zhao Lingxin handed over the rest to the government office.
Since the hall has become a working place of the cabinet
Zhao Lingxin ordered to change the name of the palace into the Government House. Moreover, the buildings on both sides of the Government House have become important offices of various ministries.
Zhao Lingxin quickly returned to the palace and headed straight to the Government House. When Zhao Lingxin arrived at the conference table, All 3 ministers, 8 ministries, have come in unison.
"Prime Minister, what emergency happened?" Asked Zhao Lingxin. The Prime Minister had such an urgent meeting, fearing that something would happen.
"Your Majesty, before our intelligence agencies received news of the establishment of themselves emperor of the three princes. Our intelligence service sent an urgent message, expecting the representatives of the three emperors to come to Shenzhou," Prime Minister General Guo Ling explained the reason for this emergency meeting.
"Did my brothers establish themselves?" Zhao Lingxin repeated.
Fortunately, he expected this to happen. Therefore, the Cabinet has some plans to prepare for this situation.
General Guo Ling nodded.
"That's right, Your Highness. The three of them claimed their rightful titles over the throne and made themselves emperor."
"Then, are we going to execute an emergency order?" Zhao Lingxin asked.
"According to Article 6 of the Imperial Constitution, the country's Supreme Command can immediately issue an emergency order. His Majesty is now in the state of the Supreme Commander. He could act without asking for the cabinet's opinion," General Guo Ling said.
Zhao Lingxin, who heard this, turned towards Qin Bo.
"Qin Bo, bring me the documents."
"Acknowledge your Majesty." Qin Bo accepted the order.
As the Minister of the Royal Secretariat Operating in his name, Qin Bo had many secrets to hide. Qin Bo picked up the brown envelope that was well sealed in the meeting room's secret vault, handed it to Zhao Lingxin.
Zhao Ling Xin received the document envelope. Unpack the envelope, take out the documents inside. The document contains the imperial emergency order drawn up by the cabinet to deal with crises. The interior contains many instructions.
"In that case, I ask by virtue of the imperial constitution, promulgating Order Number 44 now.
"Acknowledgment of Order No. 44 Was enforced," said General Guo Ling.
According to order 44, the Cabinet's power will be revoked, and new agencies appointed to cope with the unusual conditions. That agency is the Imperial Security Council. The Security Council will rise to the supreme power to direct the state's administration, ignoring the existing rules, including the executive, the legislature, and the judiciary for convenience, speed, and maximum efficiency.
The Great Da Zhou Empire was the country with the highest constitutional law. Although the emperor has many powers But the Constitution has limited some powers. The Cabinet discussed whether a particular law should be developed to tackle the unusual situation. A set of emergency instructions was drawn up for this purpose.
The Imperial Security Council consisted of four members: Emperor, Prime Minister, Army Commander. And the Minister of Defense
In normal circumstances, members of the military are never introduced to intervene in civilian affairs. However, with the power of the 44 Order, The Security Council immediately became the most powerful agency.
When Order 44 was announced, The other ministers in the meeting room did not leave. If according to the law, now their power is no longer, but they still had to stay in the meeting room to continue serving the emperor.
Zhao Lingxin directly connected to Major General Li Fengyang, who was immediately returned to the Government House on the front line. By Order 44th, Major General Li Fengyang, commander of the army, had become one of the Security Council members.
Not long after, Major General Li Fengyang attended a meeting in the Government House.
"Your Majesty, I propose to declare martial law immediately," said General Guo Ling.
"What do you think?" Zhao Lingxin asked everyone's opinion.
"I agree," said Major General Li Fengyang.
"I accept," said Defense Minister Colonel Ma Chun.
"Since everyone has the same opinion So we can sign. "
On that day, the emperor adopted the 44th order. Delegate the power of the Cabinet to the control of the Imperial Security Council.
The Imperial Security Council immediately issued a particular law. Promulgated martial law to maintain order within the country
Immigration soldiers have the right to search all merchants that pass by. Has the power to arrest immediately without passing the jurisdiction of the judiciary. Has the right to arrest and detain suspected persons in Shenzhou
Acting all nine troops to maintain the highest combat situation. Inspect the battle equipment, Has the power to order fire immediately upon witnessing suspicious movement along the border.
Order to tighten the entry and exit of Shenzhou Transactions between cities, officers have the power to examine at any time.
The declaration of martial law was quickly sent to the front.
"City Guard Battalion acknowledged the order"
"The 101st battalion acknowledges the order"
"102nd battalion acknowledged the order"
"The 105th battalion acknowledged the order"
Some officers were continually reporting their status to the Security Council.
When the battalion commander received martial law, he quickly commanded everyone.
"Everyone has entered the highest combat ready state," the battalion commander ordered.
"Roger that!" the soldier accepted the order.
All the soldiers rushed to pick up their weapons. They were fixing various protection points quickly. Maxim machine guns were mounted along the battle lines. The snipers and messengers quickly entered the battlefield.
Along with border and city pass points, passers-by were blocked immediately.
"What, can't I pass through?" Said, one merchant. These soldiers suddenly changed fiercely. A killing vapor appeared. Causing the merchants not to dare to be very loud
"We need a thorough search," the soldier said.
"My lord, please. I will not be dissatisfied." The fearful merchants agreed only with good. Nevertheless, some people do not agree.
"Who do you think it is? I am a great merchant of Dongzhou. What right do you guys have to search my carriage?" Shouted a merchant.
When faced with opposition, The soldiers did not say anything, they immediately carry one's wings of the merchant into the building.
The loud sound of loudspeakers sounded on the line, making the people baffled by the immigration to understand what had happened.
"By order, the Imperial Security Council has adopted martial law." And then, with border blocking orders, people wanting to enter and exit need to be thoroughly examined.
When all the merchants saw an example of resistance, no one was foolish to act like that. Everyone accepted the search well. However, a detailed search of the military personnel was slow. Causing people to have a residue unable to enter the city
"What exactly happened? Why did it happen in Shenzhou?" Said, one merchant.
"I think this might be a war," a veteran merchant shares his opinion.
When the Security Council declared martial law, Shenzhou City's situation was unexpected. This is because there is all military personnel scattered in the city. Whether it is a teacher, Doctors, nurses, soldier engineering, and soldiers are scattered in essential places such as schools, hospitals, and many factories. There were all those Zhao Lingxin summoned from the system.
They are military officials, and they are not afraid of the situation. They were causing many people to live normally. Plus, they all have industrial discipline. Under continuous public relations, people have confidence. Don't panic about the upcoming war.
