In the Taihe Palace, the kneeling officials and the officials of the Guo Sikong faction who were standing all bowed their heads in silence one by one, waiting for the emperor's will.

After a long time, Su Chen spoke lightly, breaking the silent atmosphere in the Taihe Palace: "What Guo Sikong said before is extremely true, and I am heartbroken. ”

"I don't want to plan for the Great Xia Dynasty all the time, I don't want to become the king of the world, but I also work hard!

"Minister Sangong, in your eyes, is it so important?"

Su Chen's voice was cold, and he said lightly: "Since you respect Situ and Sima so much, then I will be an adult!"

"Passing on my will, the matter of hundreds of officials asking for their lives is really absurd, and the officials involved in this matter have been thinking about it behind closed doors at home for three days! If someone violates the will, leaves the house at will, secretly colludes, and beheads!"

Su Chen's tone was extremely decisive, and then he waved his hand: "You guys, stand down." ”

The emperor's meaning is obvious, your grand duke has been taken down by me, and you still want to resist?

The Grand Duke lost his black gauze hat, and you all followed and thought about it behind closed doors!

However, after hearing the emperor's words, the officials of Guo Sikong's faction could not hide their disappointment.

Since the time of the first emperor, the imperial power has finally won a victory in the court struggle, why is it so easy for the emperor to let go of the hundreds of officials who jointly asked for their lives?

This is the third time in 100,000 years that a hundred officials have asked for their lives, and it will definitely become a major event for the whole country in the near future!

It's so simple, let the officials retreat and think about it for three days?

It doesn't hurt at all!

Emperor, shouldn't you dismiss a group of hundred officials, kill a group of officials, and then promote the people of our Guo Sikong faction at this time?

You know, we just had a clear superficial attitude and resolutely supported you, the emperor!

Most of the officials were very puzzled, including the Southern Patrol Dynasty and others who were kneeling on the ground, and they also showed doubts on their faces, and some people couldn't help but be overjoyed.

To do such a thing, the emperor is actually just a small punishment and a big commandment?

In the entire court, only Guo Sikong was slightly surprised, and couldn't help but raise his head and secretly glanced at the emperor again.

He really couldn't imagine that at this time, His Majesty could still hold back his anger and deal with this matter rationally......

Although it is easy to kill hundreds of officials, remove hundreds of officials, or take the opportunity to conduct a court purge, the consequences of doing so are also very serious!

After all, these hundred officials are all central officials of the Great Xia Dynasty!

If there is a direct purge of officials, where will we find so many new officials who are good enough to fill the vacancies? Are the new officials capable enough? Are they familiar with government affairs? The most important thing is whether the new officials have enough qualifications, prestige, and important positions?

If it is a large number of officials from Guo Sikong's faction, will Guo Sikong take the opportunity to become bigger and directly take charge of the government alone!

All these details need to be considered by His Majesty.

The Great Xia Dynasty was not as simple as other racial empires, and sometimes talented people may not be able to occupy high positions.

If you want to enter the core power class of the court, luck, strength, prestige, and connections are indispensable!

Your Majesty currently has no great power in his hands, let alone military power, and has not long ascended the throne, if he makes a purge in anger, I am afraid that the subsequent situation will be even more unfavorable to His Majesty.

"I'm still underestimating Your Majesty. ”

Guo Sikong sighed in his heart.

He originally thought that the best thing Su Chen could do was to wantonly purge the court, kill a group, promote a group, and recruit a group; Guo Sikong was still thinking in his heart just now, thinking about how he would help Su Chen deal with the follow-up troubles if Su Chen really did this.

For example, the counterattack of the scholars, the turmoil in the imperial capital, the lack of officials, and the decline in the efficiency of the court in handling large and small affairs, etc......

As a result, Guo Sikong didn't expect that His Majesty was really stable!

It's so stable!

His Majesty simply endured this breath and dealt with it properly, without hurting the root cause of the hundred officials at all, and did not move them.

It's forbearance.

Just the tiger that quietly watches you, but does not roar, is the most terrifying.

Because you have no idea when it will strike the fatal blow!

Su Chen knew very well where the joints were.

The Great Xia court, this is a very intricate network of relationships, and it cannot be easily cut off, at least not yet, Su Chen is not able to do it now, so he can only slowly figure it out and try his best to speed up the pace of controlling the power of the entire court.

Letting the hundred officials think about it behind closed doors is not only a punishment that preserves the majesty of the emperor, but also a grace, which makes the hundred officials feel relieved, and they will definitely be grateful to Su Chen after escaping death.

It's human nature.

Even if one-third of the more than 100 officials are grateful to Su Chen because of this matter, or hate Situ and Sima for pulling them out as pawns to explore the way, then Su Chen will really win!

This time, the hundred officials asked for their lives, which will make this group of officials deeply know that even if they are twisted into a rope, they are still not the orthodoxy of the high-level power of Great Xia, and the orthodoxy will always be the emperor!

The emperor holds their black hat and the power of life and death, as long as the emperor is given a sufficient excuse, killing them is just a matter of turning over his hands!

Only the courtiers have always succeeded in confusing the emperor, and there has never been a courtier who has successfully persecuted the emperor, unless the three princes and Si Long join forces and master the military power, they can successfully rebel with a high probability!

It's not that Su Chen doesn't move the hundred officials, it's just that he needs a little buffer time, and no matter how bad it is, he will need a few days to summon qualified gods and demons, civil and military ministers, right?

If this group of officials is directly killed or dismissed now, the impact on the entire court will be huge, and the subsequent adverse effects will be something Su Chen does not want to see.

As a monarch, you need to control the overall situation, not just look at the immediate interests.

"Your Majesty..... Minister......"

There are kneeling officials who are grateful, and they want to say thanks.

"Come on, get them all out. ”

Su Chen waved his hand and interrupted his words, his tone indifferent.

Dealing with this matter rationally does not mean that Su Chen has no anger in his heart, as the emperor of Great Xia, being attacked by the courtiers joined forces, this is disrespectful to the emperor!

"Whoa!"

A group of guards of the Imperial Forest Army rushed in, grabbed this group of ministers, acted roughly, and directly set them up and dragged them out of the Taihe Palace.

"Your Majesty! The minister is ignorant! Listening to the villain's words in vain, he almost missed the fortune of the Great Xia country! Thank you Your Majesty for not killing!"

The courtier, who had been interrupted by Su Chen before, opened his throat and shouted, his voice trembling, full of gratitude.

The feeling of escaping death is difficult for ordinary civil officials to feel, which will greatly make people lose their mood.

This shout made countless officials turn their heads and look at the man.

I saw that he was being held by the Imperial Forest Army, dragged on the ground with two legs, but the whole person kept shouting excitedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

Nanxun bowed his head and spoke in a low voice.

Although he was very reluctant to admit it, he was indeed grateful and admired Su Chen at this moment.

The emperor's belly is very incomparable!

The emperor knows the first sin, and he is a hundred officials, but we are ......

Shame on you!

Nan Xunchao sighed in his heart, and it was only at this time that he deeply realized that the emperor was not as unbearable as Situ and Sima said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty is wrong!"

"Your Majesty Mingjian! Thank you, Your Majesty!"

......

The voices of thanksgiving sounded one after another, and the hundred officials who were dragged away gradually disappeared into the Taihe Palace, but they left behind shouts one after another.

This......

The hundred officials all looked strange, according to the normal situation, shouldn't you be crying and crying at this time, shouting that you are wronged?

Why, one by one, they all began to thank you!

That's right, after all, if the hundred officials fail to ask for their lives, it will completely offend His Majesty.

This group of officials resisted with a mortal mentality to protect the interests of the power group headed by Situ and Sima, but now His Majesty only punished him with a small punishment after the failure of the petition.

In this case, this group of officials will be grateful.

Guo Sikong also smiled bitterly, Your Majesty is Your Majesty, and his calculations at every step are not as simple as they seem on the surface.

"Alright, the annoying flies are gone, continue the morning pilgrimage. ”

Su Chen waved his hand lightly, his voice calm.

The officials in the Taihe Hall were shocked, and secretly said in their hearts: The show is coming.

Will the emperor take back some of the imperial power because of the request for the life of the hundred officials, or will he continue to hold back?

What will the emperor do?

No one guessed thoroughly, and the officials present, including Guo Sikong, couldn't see through Su Chen at this moment.

At this time, he was touring the southern court inside and outside the Taihe Palace, and he couldn't guess what the emperor thought.

The Imperial Forest Army drove them out of the Taihe Palace directly, and there was no action, just hurried back to the house, not to disobey His Majesty's will.

At this time, the Southern Patrol Dynasty was sighing that the catastrophe would not die, and suddenly felt something in his heart, and saw a familiar figure among the hundred officials.

That person is the stupid official who was in the Taihe Hall before, and he spoke wildly, making the entire hundred officials ask for their lives to fall short!

That's right!

Why is he here?

He said such rebellious words, according to the anger of Guo Sikong and His Majesty at that time, how could he be safe and sound!

Even if he wasn't executed on the spot, at least he would have lost his black hat, why didn't His Majesty punish him alone?

Nanxun frowned, sensing that something was wrong.

The official seemed to feel the gaze of the Southern Patrol Dynasty, turned his head, and smiled at the Southern Patrol Dynasty.

Then he swept his sleeves to tidy up his manners, strode forward, and his posture was chic, without the slightest appearance of panic and depression.

"I see...... You are Guo Sikong's person, and your majesty's person!"

Nan Xunchao squinted his eyes slightly, muttered to himself, trembled all over, and his heart was shocked.

It was only at this time that he came to his senses, and cold sweat was pouring down on his back.

That's right, which of the officials who can enter the Taihe Hall is not an old fox, how can he say such a big rebellious thing in the court? Isn't this obviously looking for death!

The only explanation is that this person is Guo Sikong's person!

At the right time, he will completely overturn the matter of asking for the life of hundreds of officials!

Situ and Sima thought they were in control of the overall situation, and used the hundred officials to ask for orders to raid, but unexpectedly, His Majesty and Guo Sikong had already prepared, and when they saw the move, they crushed the huge momentum of the hundred officials!

Originally, according to Guo Sikong's talent and prestige, it was already necessary for Situ and Sima to join forces to deal with it.

Now that there is another inscrutable Majesty, and General Si Long who is firmly standing behind His Majesty, do the two adults Situ and Sima still have a chance of winning?

Obviously, the direction of the court will definitely turn big in the future!

I am afraid that I have to prepare for the back road, and whether I can survive in this upcoming political whirlpool depends on each person's own ability.

The Southern Patrol Dynasty sighed lightly, declined the request of several officials to return to the mansion together, and left the palace alone, and the background seemed lonely and lonely.
