Chapter 110: Living in a Dream
He wanted to understand that they couldn't use the means and manpower now, and there must be a sense of distance between them and the people by themselves.
Relying on his mouth alone, he may not be able to make the people obey him, and maybe some grassroots petty officials are more effective than his words.
In this case, in order for the people to accept him, he had to lower his posture, so that the people could recognize him as a person, and perhaps the people would respond to this mission out of consideration for their relationship with him.
"Everyone, be quiet, let me introduce myself, I am the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the imperial court, Tang En."
"I think that the people who come to the capital more or less know the name of this official, so I won't introduce myself too much."
The surrounding people listened to Don's words and fell silent.
The Book of Rites, although among the six departments, the Ministry of Rites is not the most powerful one, but it is also one of the people at the top.
If it were people from other places, they might not know much about these things in the court.
But the people present are basically from the old capital, but they are well aware of the composition of the imperial court.
In the teahouses and restaurants in the capital, there are often storytellers who talk about these things, and the people themselves will talk about these things when they have nothing to do in private.
Hearing Tang En's self-report, the people present couldn't help but widen their eyes, they didn't expect that the person who appeared in front of them could be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites!
Tang En couldn't help but be very satisfied after seeing everyone's reactions, and smiled at everyone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is a carriage here, with the word cabinet written on it, as long as someone can come out and drive this carriage to the north gate of the capital, the cabinet will reward this person with a hundred taels."
Hearing this, the people present were all taken aback, and no one expected that such a thing would happen.
Emperor Huai'an sighed, and it could be seen from the reactions of those people that the people still cared very much about the hundred taels of silver.
Maybe there will be any people who are willing to stand up and complete this task, after all, Li Baiyi has said that he will give the cabinet five chances.
This kid is such a bastard, he even let this kind of meeting out.
If this kid hadn't been so big and gave up such a big advantage, maybe he would have a chance to fight, but now, there is no chance.
And Song Guang, Huo Bai and the others, at this time, showed a touch of joy on their faces.
They stood tall, but they could clearly see their desire in the eyes of those people.
These guys are just fighting small people, what lofty ambitions can they have, one hundred taels is already a few years of expenses for them, who doesn't want to?
Hearing that it was as rumored to be, Yeluqi and the others were also very surprised.
Yeluqi said with a surprised face: "Although this is not a thing, it is not to this extent." ”
"Does he have any deep meaning, which Prince Ben doesn't know, sister, what do you say?"
Ye Lufang shook his head: "I don't understand it either, let's take a look first, and then talk, the answer will be revealed in a while." ”
"Of course, if these people had driven away in their carriages while the officials had given the order, it would have all been over."
At this time, the people had come to their senses and realized that this was true, not a joke.
"I said, I heard you right, the official said, let us send him the carriage to the gate in the north of the city, and he will give us a hundred taels of silver."
"That's right, that's what I said, but I don't believe it, do you believe it?"
"Of course I don't believe it, who are you fooling, if we are a three-year-old child, even if he is a high-ranking official of the court, he can't treat us as fools."
"That's right, he's the oldest, if it weren't for watching him be an official, I'll go up and spit on him directly."
"There must be a pit here, he asked us to do something, even if he slapped us twice, it was not unusual, and he had to give us a hundred taels, how could this be possible."
"That's right, the bigger the official of this kind of official, the more he wants to make more money."
"Who says it's not, these officials, when they give us benefits, there must be a bigger pit waiting for us, who believes who is a fool."
The people were clamoring and shouting, but not one of them stepped forward to take the order.
The hundred officials, who were originally full of confidence, were immediately dumbfounded when they saw this scene.
"What the hell is going on, isn't a hundred taels too little?"
Song Guang directly clenched his fists and said in disbelief.
Huo Bai shook his head: "I didn't expect this group of people to be so difficult, they promised a hundred taels of silver, but they just drove the carriage, and no one did it." ”
"Could it be that they were all bought by Li Baiyi in advance, why are they unwilling to go."
"This group of foolish people is really stupid, this hundred taels of silver is enough for them to spend five or six years, and they are not even tempted, they are really a bunch of waste."
"They shouldn't be too little, it's normal, fools are insatiable."
After some discussion, the expressions on the faces of the hundred officials became very ugly, and no one expected that things would develop to the current situation.
They were full of confidence before, when did they ever be so cowardly?
Before, they planned to solve the battle in half an hour and let Li Baiyi's head fall to the ground, but they didn't expect that this was different from what they imagined at the beginning.
Now it seems that the outcome is unpredictable, and it is not certain who will lose and who will win.
Even if Li Baiyi may not be able to obey the people's orders at that time, it will be a lose-lose situation at most, and there will be no winner.
Seeing this scene, Princess Ronghua in the crowd was stunned, and she didn't expect things to develop to this scene.
Could it be that things are still turning around, Li Baiyi is not here to die this time, but has other ideas.
Thinking of this, Princess Ronghua somehow breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
But when she thought about it, this incident shocked her even more.
This was an order issued by the Cabinet Minister's Ministry of Rites to let the people drive the carriage, and promised to take out a hundred taels of silver, but no one took over the task.
Is it because these people are too arrogant, or is the name of the Cabinet Etiquette Department Shangshu not worth a hundred taels of silver.
The former is naturally unlikely, but if it is the latter, it is too scary.
Who would have thought that an order from the dignified Kunli Department was not even worth a hundred taels of silver, which was simply a fantasy.
At this time, Li Baiyi was not surprised to see this scene, but he felt very funny about the reaction of the hundred officials.
These guys are just afraid that they are still living in dreams, thinking that they can win.
"Now you know it's amazing,"
