Chapter 120: Regret
His words immediately made the hundred officials shake, and Huo Bai and the others looked at Emperor Huai'an, and a bad premonition arose.
What does Your Majesty want to do, does Your Majesty plan to strictly govern the officials?
If that's the case, then they're really dangerous.
Huo Bai reacted the fastest, he immediately stood up and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the minister is wrong, please punish Your Majesty." ”
Saying that, Huo Bai knelt down directly, his face looked a little pale, and he was very frightened in his heart.
Emperor Huai'an didn't pay attention to him, and his eyes were still on those people.
When the other ministers saw Huo Bai say this, they naturally understood what the situation was now.
Suddenly, the tower of the city gate fell to its knees.
"Your Majesty, the minister is wrong, please give the minister a chance to make amends."
"The minister implores His Majesty to surrender his guilt, and the minister is willing to make meritorious contributions to the crime, and to correct the mistakes he made before one by one, and I hope that His Majesty will be merciful."
Song Guang and the others naturally knelt on the ground one by one, but their eyes were always staring in the direction of Li Baiyi, eager to let him die.
It's all this kid who harmed him, if it weren't for him, Emperor Huai'an might have gotten back to the palace a long time ago.
This kid has been telling the emperor that he will be severely punished, isn't it just to trap them.
Looking at the courtiers who fell to the ground, Emperor Huai'an's face was pale, but his heart was deeply touched.
"Now that you know what you're doing when you're kneeling?"
"If it weren't for such an intuitive performance of the people, you are afraid that there would still be no reaction."
"Do you know what point Da Kun has reached now, the people are behaving like this today, it is estimated that even if the Northern Yuan Dynasty comes to the capital, they may not be distressed, and they will even secretly help the Northern Yuan army."
It was outrageous, but no one dared to question him.
Every official knows in his heart that this is the fact of the people's will now, but it cannot be said on the surface.
And now that Emperor Huai'an himself has said it, is he really going to make a big move?
It was as if a big stone was pressed on the head of every official, and he didn't even dare to lift his head.
Emperor Huai'an looked at the kneeling officials, and his heart was even more indignant: "Losing the hearts of the people is equivalent to losing the people, if the time and place are lost, then the country will change hands at any time." ”
"Da Kun is dead, as long as you courtiers kneel fast enough, you can still be an official and a half-post, or even an official can be reinstated, do you say yes?"
"Anyway, no matter who calls, you have to be governed, that's why you have no fear."
"Your Majesty, the minister is terrified."
"Please forgive your majesty, the minister has no such intention."
"Your Majesty, the minister knows that he is wrong, please punish Your Majesty."
The ministers once again collectively pleaded guilty, but Emperor Huai'an shook his head, and he no longer planned to give them the so-called opportunity.
This gang of moths, even if they are all killed, what can they do, they will soon have to conduct scientific examinations, and they will soon be able to continue.
Maybe inexperienced, but newcomers have enthusiasm, at least drive, and are willing to do things.
Coupled with what he said before, Emperor Huai'an is now in a very excited state, eager to show all his thoughts.
"What I want is an official who can make the people trust and make me trust, and the performance of the people before has said everything."
"You are no longer trusted by the people, so that the officials above the entire court have lost the support of the people."
"I think that you are no longer suitable to continue to be my officials in Dakun, come on, take down these adults."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked and hurriedly begged for mercy.
"Your Majesty, spare your life, even if you have no merit, you have hard work."
"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister has done his best to die, and the minister promises that he has not done anything sorry for His Majesty and sorry for Sheji."
"Your Majesty is aware that the minister has never committed any acts of corruption and perversion of the law."
"Your Majesty, the minister is wrong, the minister should not let other colleagues make it convenient, but the minister has not made a big mistake, please ask Your Majesty to be gracious."
......
For a while, hundreds of officials wailed, some directly admitted that they were wrong, and some still did not admit their mistakes even at this time, and still felt that they were honest and honest.
Li Baiyi was a little amazed by the acting skills of these officials, these guys were definitely born in the wrong era.
If you let them be born in modern times, let them: be actors, it will definitely be vivid.
Suddenly, Li Baiyi felt a gaze that made him feel cold, and he looked at it with some feeling.
Sure enough, an official from the household department was staring at him closely, and that look was almost murderous.
Li Baiyi couldn't help but feel shocked, and then rolled his eyes, you did something wrong yourself, making the emperor angry, do you still have the heart to trap me.
You better think about how you can remedy it, although Emperor Huai'an is gentle with these courtiers on weekdays.
That's because he can't move them, and if he really wants to make a move on his courtiers, he will definitely be ruthless, even more cruel than those iron-blooded kings.
It is only because of the past ten years that Emperor Huai'an has been jointly constrained by these officials, and many decrees cannot be implemented at all.
Emperor Huai'an is also ambitious, he hopes that he can expand his territory and become a generation of Ming monarchs like his ancestors.
It's just that he has been subject to the courtiers for more than ten years, and he can't show his strength.
Of course, this does not mean that he is incapacitated, but because all these are the accumulated shortcomings of the previous dynasties, how easy is it to clean up and reorganize the court?
Now, Emperor Huai'an has the opportunity to rectify the court, of course he will not miss it, he will definitely not spare it if he can be ruthless!
More and more officials looked at Li Baiyi, and their eyes were gathered, almost forming a substance, even Li Baiyi couldn't stand it.
"Hey, you officials, it's necessary to be so stingy, you are willing to gamble and lose, you weren't so pitiful when you made money before, what are you pretending to be pitiful now."
"You see what is the use of me, I am not Your Majesty, is it possible that you want to kill me because I asked Your Majesty to punish corrupt officials and corrupt officials, this is not right."
Li Baiyi pointed at those officials: "If you don't have a ghost in your heart, why do you look at me like this, if you want to blame, you can only blame yourself." ”
When the officials heard this, they couldn't help but be suffocated from internal injuries, this kid is really a loss, they can't refute it if they scold them like this in front of the emperor.
After all, whoever refutes at this time is in a hurry, and the emperor may be the first person to check when he leaves here.
Emperor Huai'an also calmed down at this time, thinking of what he had just said, he couldn't help but regret a little.
"It's over, let these moths hear what they are saying, they shouldn't be guarded."
