Chapter 71: The Old Fox

Looking at the official who had already made an appointment, but was cowering at the moment, Xiao Changgong's forehead was also full of sweat, lest he become the only official.

"The ministers also think that if Prime Minister Xiao can help, everything will be much easier."

Although they were under pressure from Xu Jing, these officials were afraid and hesitated for a long time.

But when they thought that the consequences of offending the Xiao Mansion were extremely serious, they could only step forward and say loudly.

Seeing the hundred officials behind him step forward, Xiao Longbow's face softened a little.

"Prime Minister Xiao is so important?"

Xu Jing smiled lightly, not taking the words of the hundred officials to heart at all.

"The ministers believe that the prime minister is extremely important to the great cadres, and the prime minister has been managing government affairs on behalf of the emperor for nearly 30 years."

"The understanding of the prime minister is far from being comparable to that of the ministers. If you can ask the prime minister about everything, I think many things will be much easier. ”

"Moreover, Your Majesty is still young, if you can have the Prime Minister to assist you, it will make Your Majesty much easier."

Baiguan, you glanced at me, and walked forward quickly, Xiao Daoling explained.

"According to what you say, wouldn't it be a mess without the prime minister?"

"But why do I feel that there doesn't seem to be much change?"

Xu Jing sneered, looked at everyone in the audience and asked.

The hundred officials looked at each other at this moment, and they couldn't imagine that Xu Jing would actually respond to them with these words.

It stands to reason that even if it is due to the face of hundreds of officials, Xu Jing should be a little tactful, and he can't refuse so straightforwardly.

But Xu Jing didn't give them half face, and refuted it bluntly.

Xu Jing's unconventional behavior made hundreds of officials speechless and unable to say a word.

"What? Why don't you speak? ”

Xu Jing squinted his eyes and glanced at everyone present and asked lightly.

Xu Jing's eyes swept over, and everyone present looked at each other a little embarrassed, unable to say a word.

"The ministers are not talking nonsense, but sincerely pray for Your Majesty to welcome the prime minister back to the court!"

"That's right! When the prime minister was in power, the great cadres were leveled all over the world, and hundreds of officials and the people were happy, once upon a time there was such a big crisis? ”

"From the minister's point of view, it is still necessary to welcome the return of the prime minister."

Xiao Longbow stepped forward again and said loudly.

"That's right! Even if you are punished by Your Majesty, we must also be blunt! Please also ask Your Majesty to follow the wishes of the hundred officials and welcome the prime minister back to the court! ”

With the long bow in front, Baiguan also stepped forward and scolded coldly.

"What? Are you the emperor now, or am I the emperor? ”

Xu Jing listened to the joint words of this group of officials, Xu Jing sneered and swept over the hundred officials and asked coldly.

The group of officials were so frightened by Xu Jing's words that they dared to bow their heads.

If it weren't for the fact that the Xiao family was too powerful, they would definitely not dare to offend Xu Jing like this in the court.

After all, the cruelty of this new emperor's methods is far beyond their imagination, and offending this new emperor, they will be subjected to far more difficulties than they imagined!

"Your Majesty, we are also thinking about the great cadres to speak so bluntly. Everything we do is for you and you! Please also ask Your Majesty to be clear! ”

Xiao Longbow knelt down again and shouted loudly.

"Is it for me, for Daqian, or for you?"

Xu Jing's voice was like a Hong Zhong, and his cold gaze swept over all the officials present.

"Is Xiao Daoling beneficial to Daqian? How many of the prefects who were arrested not long ago were his students? ”

"How many of the innumerable officials who are greedy for ink are widely implicated with them?"

"Or is the Xiao Jiasheng who intends to rebel not the Xiao family?"

Xu Jing dug out the old accounts one by one and counted them in front of this group of officials.

Frightened, these officials lowered their heads one by one and didn't dare to say a word, lest they provoke the angry emperor to vent his anger on himself.

"Your Majesty, it is not surprising that there are more than 100 people in the Xiao family, so one or two scum are out. It is normal for uncle, peach and plum to have one or two mouse droppings all over the world. ”

"You can't take back the power of the prime minister because of this!"

As if he was not afraid of death, Xiao Longbow stepped forward again and spoke aloud.

"Xiao Longbow, I remember that you are the minister of the Great Qian, and I have saved you face again and again. Don't make me think that you want to die! ”

Xu Jing's eyes were slightly cold, and he stared at Xiao Longgong and said coldly.

Such warnings frightened all the officials on one side and did not dare to say a word, for fear of provoking the fire.

They are willing to be the first bird for Xiao Daoling because of the large number of people, and Xu Jing may not be willing to punish everyone.

But now that the longbow has become the only bird, they naturally will not rush to share the firepower for it.

"Even if Your Majesty wants to put the minister to death, the minister will say the same! The prime minister has worked hard, you can't just unload the mill and kill the donkey! ”

"Doing this will only make the court officials and the world's scholars chill! Let's ask, who else will dare to serve His Majesty in the future? Who else can Your Majesty trust? ”

Xiao Longbow gritted his teeth and stepped forward again, shouting loudly.

"Come on, drag me out, and hit fifty boards!"

Xu Jing's eyes were cold, and there was no movement in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, if you are unwilling to agree to welcome the prime minister back to the court, I am willing to resign!"

"Ministers too!"

.......

As Xiao Longbow was about to be dragged out by the Jinyi Guard, some of the original Xiao Mansion party officials stood up one by one and said loudly at Xu Jing on the stage.

There are more than 80 people, almost more than 70% of the court officials!

Looking at these officials, Xu Jing's eyes were cold, and the hand that grabbed the dragon chair became harder and harder.

"Good, good. Dare to rebel against my will. Is Xiao Daoling the emperor, or am I the emperor? ”

"Dare to persecute me above the court? Then go back all! I want to see if I can't turn around if I don't have a lot of cadres! ”

Xu Jing laughed angrily, looking at this group of officials who were planning to force him, and said coldly.

Xu Jing knew that after Xiao Daoling was provoked by himself, he would definitely confront him head-on.

But he couldn't imagine that Xiao Daoling would be so arrogant that he actually wanted to coerce himself with the resignation of hundreds of officials.

And what he wants is not for Xu Jing to allow his official to be reinstated, but for Xu Jing to bow his head!

Once Xu Jing agrees to this request in front of hundreds of officials, he will undoubtedly be at a disadvantage in this silent battlefield.

"Your Majesty, why be so annoyed? If you are angry because of the old minister's affairs, is it worth it? ”

Just when the hundred officials were stunned by Xu Jing's uneasy routine, a voice suddenly sounded in their ears.

When they turned around, they saw that Xiao Daoling was already wearing a four-clawed python robe and walked quickly into the court.

"What? Prime Minister Xiao's body bones are already healed? ”

Xu Jing sneered, staring coldly at Xiao Daoling, who had provoked everything.

"Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, I learned that Your Majesty is now in chaos in the court, and the minister's body and bones have all healed overnight."

Xiao Daoling smiled slightly, looked at Xu Jing calmly and replied.

"So, the prime minister intends to reinstate the official?"

Xu Jing asked with a smile, but his eyes were full of murderous intent.

"Don't dare, if Your Majesty is willing, the ministers should do their best."

Xiao Daoling also smiled and looked at Xu Jing.

"Your Majesty, it's not good! The rebels have a letter! ”
