Naturally, this matter had far-reaching implications, and Xiao Tianyang could not make a decision right away.
However, judging by Xiao Tianyang's attitude, he clearly leaned more toward Shang Yang's proposed solution.
Setting the Ministry of Justice's issues aside for the moment, Xiao Tianyang shifted his attention to the Ministry of War.
