Chapter 119: It Won't Be Bad Again
Innocent eyes looked at the group of officials, and snorted coldly: "You let them go now, but they may not let you go." β
"Don't you really want to give it a try, maybe the emperor will agree to you."
When Li Baiyi heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Emperor Huai'an not far away, and said with a wry smile: "Do you really think that the emperor has such a strong control over the court, and he can kill whoever he wants." β
"If that's really the case, then the emperor doesn't need me to do it today."
Li Baiyi sighed: "If you can win a few big officials today, it will already be a good result, if you want to kill them all, then someone in the court must be in charge." β
Naively thought about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "It's actually okay if you don't take care of things." β
"What the people don't like the most is that they have these shackles on their heads, and if they can be unshackled, maybe the people will live a better life."
Li Baiyi sneered, shook his head and said, "What you think is a bit interesting, but it's unlikely." β
"The imperial court machine needs to run, and it can't stop for a moment."
"If there is a stop somewhere at this moment, soon the things that will come up will pile up, more and more."
"This is also one of the reasons why the emperor has wanted to move these officials for so many years, but he can't."
Naivety shook his head and said: "What you said is just the shortcomings on the surface, but have you ever thought that you have been compromising and giving in like this, but what you have lost in the end is the people's trust in the emperor." β
"Only by making a painful determination and dealing with chaos can we eradicate all the previous ills and truly prosper."
If he was naΓ―ve, he couldn't help but make Li Baiyi nod, and he was a little impressed by his innocence.
"What you say makes sense, I didn't think of it before, it really is."
Naivety pointed to the people in the audience and continued: "You see, the people are so distrustful of the hundred officials now, do you think they can retain some trust in the emperor." β
"Although it is the responsibility of officials to say that they have done wrong things, the emperor has not restrained them, so that they have not been punished for doing such wrong things, which is not normal."
Li Baiyi hurriedly blocked his innocent mouth, looked at Emperor Huai'an with some weakness, and was slightly relieved to see that the other party did not pay attention to his side.
He hurriedly asked the innocent to pay attention to his words, and then walked towards the emperor.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the hundred officials have lost such a big face to the court this time, which is enough to see how their reputation in the hearts of the people is, and they should be thoroughly investigated."
"None of the officials in the cabinet can be said to be left, after all, it was in the name of the cabinet that gave orders before."
"Maybe the people don't know what the cabinet has done, but judging from their performance, it is not wrong at all to win all the cabinet officials."
Hearing this, Baiguan suddenly looked at Li Baiyi with wide eyes, this kid was really not afraid of the wind and flashed his tongue.
wants to kill all the members of the cabinet, who gave him this confidence.
Emperor Huai'an couldn't help but hesitate a little at this time, and coughed lightly: "This, the senior officials of the court may indeed have done something wrong. β
"However, the imperial court is at the time of employing people at this time, and it is not appropriate to cut more officials."
"I think it's better to lay off a few people who have a key point, at least give an explanation to the people."
Hearing this, the hundred officials couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, although the emperor still had to deal with some people, but the scope was narrowed down a lot.
If you really do it according to Li Baiyi, then the blow will be big, and no one can stand it.
Baiguan looked at Li Baiyi as if he was looking at an enemy, and in the hearts of Baiguan, Li Baiyi was their enemy.
Anyone who might be implicated in this incident was eager to eat Li Baiyi's flesh and drink his blood.
"Guys, do you still have different opinions?"
Emperor Huai'an looked at the ministers, but he didn't look at Li Baiyi, in order to let this matter end as soon as possible.
The ministers all breathed a sigh of relief, but Li Baiyi stood up: "Your Majesty, the ministers feel that it is not enough. β
As soon as Li Baiyi's words fell, the ministers suddenly became nervous, and they all looked at Li Baiyi, their eyes could almost kill.
Before, they thought that Li Baiyi was just messing around, but now it seems that he really wants them to die.
Even Emperor Huai'an frowned at this time and said, "Li Baiyi, what do you say." β
Li Baiyi said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, Weichen feels that since the attitude of the people has been shown this time, if the imperial court does not express enough, I am afraid that it may not be able to convince the people." β
"It's easy for the people to lose it, but it's hard to take it back."
"If only a few officials are dealt with, the rest of the officials will breathe a sigh of relief, and it will indeed not cause any shock to the officialdom."
"But the people can't see any change in the officialdom, which is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the people."
"Your Majesty, if you want to change, you will inevitably touch some interests, and it is impossible to live in harmony, presumably Your Majesty understands this better than Weichen."
"Change can't happen all at once, there must be a process, but if Your Majesty doesn't even have the confidence to bring about this initial change, then the rest can only be imagined."
Li Baiyi's words made Emperor Huai'an take a deep breath, and he couldn't help but nod and said, "What you said makes sense, no matter what you do, there will be no risk." β
"I was so careful before that I couldn't take a step, but with your words, I feel much more at ease."
When Huo Bai on the side heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, no, Da Kun is now in turmoil, and the mountains and rivers are broken, how can he touch the officials at will." β
"Now that there are so many displaced people in the capital, you can imagine what other places will be like."
"The people's trust in the imperial court has also dropped to a very low level, and if the government is rectified at this time, it may make the hearts of the officials fluctuate."
"At that time, if it is used by someone with a heart, it may turn into a disaster, and this must be what His Majesty does not want to see."
When Li Baiyi heard this, he couldn't help but sneer, and said, "Master Huo, you want to threaten Your Majesty by saying this, but do you think Your Majesty is someone you can threaten?" β
"Could it be that because Da Kun has many problems, can this official rule not move?"
"Anyway, it's already like this, if you move, maybe it can be better than before."
Li Baiyi's words immediately hit Emperor Huai'an's heart: "Yes, Li Baiyi is right, it is estimated that no matter how bad it is, it will be so bad." β
Emperor Huai'an looked at those people and snorted coldly,
