Shen Zhou saw it very accurately, and then the changes in the court were really as he expected, and the emperor began to clean up those courtiers who had no credit for rebuilding the court, but relied on the identity of the previous Dayue courtiers to re-enter the court.

And the opportunity is naturally in how to deal with the foreign enemy in the north and the disposal of Liu Rong.

Just after Liu Rong was dismissed from office by the court, many officials in the court and the central government united and ran to the general's mansion to see the emperor while playing, hoping that he could forgive Lord Liu for this unintentional mistake.

Yes, in their opinion, Liu Rong's erroneous remarks were not only an unintentional mistake, but also a loyal act for the sake of the country.

Because in the eyes of these officials, the current situation in the Da Viet court is indeed quite dangerous, and it is a clever strategy to take a step back at this time in order to seek temporary relaxation and peace.

You must know that more than ten years ago, when Dayue was still at its peak, it was easily broken through more than ten cities in northern Xinjiang by the Guirong people, so that those Guirong cavalry almost crossed the Yellow River and came to Luoyang City.

With such a frightened situation just in front of him, why can't the emperor learn a lesson in order to stabilize the world?

Of course, this is just an official explanation of why they want to support Liu Rong, but from a private point of view, it is another reason - these people have become one with Liu Rong, and even many of them are his protégés and former officials, relying on him to gain a firm foothold in the court.

Whether it's Liu Rong or the other officials who speak up for him, their current identities are a little embarrassing. They used to be important officials in the DPRK and China, but now they are no longer the most important officials.

And if you want to regain power in the DPRK and gain the trust of the emperor, you will naturally inevitably compete with officials like Shen Zhou who are now in power.

In this way, whether it is Liu Rong's matter or the strategy of foreign enemies, it will naturally become an opportunity for them to compete.

And Sun Ning, Shen Zhou and others are also very aware of this, the former's attitude is to let this matter ferment, and wait until three days later, he really allowed this cadre to enter to see him, and let them explain everything.

"Your Majesty, Lord Liu is a veteran of the two dynasties, and he has always been loyal to the imperial court, so how can he be dismissed because his advice is not in line with the holy will? This will chill the hearts of officials all over the world......

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, the Holy Monarchs have been the most humble and accept advice, and they will never be offended for their words, even if Lord Liu does not play in line with His Majesty's heart, it is not a sin."

"I also hope that Your Majesty will retract his order and let the officials of the DPRK and China re-discuss how to deal with the current situation in the north...... The minister thought that it was not the luck of the court to continue to forcibly use troops, and it was really better to make fewer concessions in order to gain peace......

"Your Majesty, the ministers think that this should be the case, then the court is very fortunate, the people are very fortunate, and the world is very fortunate......

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!" ……

For a time, dozens of officials knelt down in the hall, putting on a posture that the emperor would not get up if he refused to admonish them.

Sun Ning just sat quietly on the top, listening and watching with a smile.

It wasn't until they made their attitudes clear, waiting for his final ruling, that the smile on his face became sarcastic: "In this way, you are all loyal servants of my Dayue Imperial Court."

"The ministers don't dare to be loyal, they just do their duty as ministers, and please think twice before acting."

"The speaker is not guilty...... Sun Ning repeated what they had just said, "Of course I know this statement, there have been so-called officials who do not have to bear any criminal responsibility, hearsay, can be heard, and I will naturally be no exception."

Hearing him say this, these courtiers were happy again, and it seemed that the emperor was also jealous, and he really planned to adopt everyone's suggestions.

But they didn't rejoice for long, and the emperor's words changed abruptly: "But how can I remember that he, Liu Rong, has never been a spokesman?

"He is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he is only in charge of matters related to the etiquette of the imperial court, when did he also have the authority of a spoken-official? Moreover, what he said in the previous performance was also a military strategy of the imperial court that had nothing to do with his own position, isn't this a substitute for him?"

What the ministers wanted to say, but I don't know if they were pressed by the emperor's momentum, or if they couldn't find a rebuttal for a while, everyone

They all kept quiet with some confusion.

Seeing this, Sun Ning smiled coldly again: "When it comes to using soldiers against the enemy, naturally there is a military department, a military yamen such as the Privy Council to make judgments and decisions, when will it be his turn to be a scholar of the Ministry of Rites who has not even read half of the military book?"

"And you, among the people here, there are those from the Ministry of Works, those from the Ministry of Rites, and those from the Ministry of Officials, but there are no soldiers. But what you have just played and written in the recital book are all about the use of troops in the DPRK and China, who gave you the authority and courage to dare to talk such nonsense and disturb the hearts of my people?"

was forced by Sun Ning to ask him like this, and the officials' hearts were beating wildly, and many of them were weak-hearted, and they even fell directly to the ground, not even daring to breathe.

And Sun Ning's most heart-wrenching words came out again: "I know why you are surging today, isn't it because Liu Rong is your mentor and old boss, and the leader of your party?

"If he is dismissed, you people will lose the backbone, what else can you do to compete for power with the cronies and heroes who have been personally promoted and reused by me? What qualifications do you have to fight with these real heroes? .

"So whether he is really wrong or falsely guilty, it is for you to save him and keep him first. It's called a friend, right?"

"Your Majesty...... Wronged......"

Hearing the word "friend", the courtiers were shocked, and many people were sweating on their backs, and they quickly kowtowed, wanting to make a defense.

But Sun Ning couldn't give them such an opportunity at all, so he immediately broke off: "You didn't make an inch of contribution to the imperial court before, and I saw that you were reinstated in terms of your original feelings. But how did you repay me?

"It is a more greedy seizure of power, a collusion to form a party of friends, a desire to compete with the real pillars of the country for official positions and power, arbitrary accusations and comments on the policies of the DPRK and China, and disregard for the people of the world for their own selfishness......

"If people like you continue to stay in the court, it will only bring disaster to the country and the people, and make my court uneasy. Since you all regard Liu Rong as your mentor and boss, then go with him.

"I'll give you two days to leave Luoyang immediately and go back to your hometown. You wait for everyone, after today, I will no longer be a Dayue official, and I will not be allowed to enter the officialdom again in this life. Go ahead!"

After making the final verdict, Sun Ning didn't even wait for them to react, he got up directly, walked past these courtiers in great strides, and left this hall.

Only a few dozen officials were left behind, kneeling on the ground as if they were out of their bodies, their expressions changeable, and they could not return to their senses for a long time.
