Chapter 121: Pulling
Of course, Emperor Huai'an wanted to completely eradicate the accumulated evils and return the people to a prosperous future.
But after all, this is not something that can be solved overnight, although today he can get rid of a few officials who are against the wind, but after all, it can't solve the problem.
He said such a thing today, and the remaining officials must be vigilant, and they may make a big deal at any time, and how can it end up when the time comes.
Seeing that the emperor seemed to be hesitating, Li Baiyi immediately persuaded: "Your Majesty, give an order, send these guys to the prison first, interrogate them slowly, and then release them after confirming that there is no problem." ”
"If you really let go of an official and he fights back, it will be absolutely unstoppable."
Emperor Huai'an thought about it, and finally made up his mind, raised his hand and said: "Imperial Forest Army, arrest all the ministers present in the court and the central government, and wait for the fate." ”
At the sound of an order, all the Royal Forest Army immediately set off, and they were about to step forward and take down the officials one by one!
When the people downstairs at the city gate heard this, they couldn't help but look up, and they found that someone was wearing bright yellow clothes, and they couldn't help whispering.
Immediately, under the leadership of whom, the people knelt down and shouted long live.
Although they may not trust the court officials, they still have an instinctive awe for the Great Kun Tianzi, and no one dares to make a mistake.
The hundred officials were paralyzed by fright at this time, and even Huo Bai was a little flustered at this time, for fear that Emperor Huai'an would really want to do something to them.
Although reason told him that Emperor Huai'an could not be so ruthless, the current situation did not allow him to be rational at all.
The knife was about to reach the neck, and no one could calm down.
Emperor Huai'an couldn't help but feel very happy when he saw the hundred officials being paralyzed, but when he thought that the hundred officials were arrested, the court was likely to be paralyzed at that time, so he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
If it weren't for the fear that the imperial court would not be able to function, even if he arrested or even killed more corrupt officials, he Wang Xuanfeng would not frown.
Now that he has reached this point, he feels that he can do it, but if he goes any further, he is afraid that there will be side effects, and these officials do not know what moths they will make.
It's just that he can't do anything that goes back on his word, of course he can't do it, and he still has to let Li Baiyi and the prince stand up and say it.
Emperor Huai'an didn't consider Li Baiyi, if this kid stood up, he would definitely persuade him to slaughter these officials and then hurry up.
He looked at the crown prince Wang Lang, his eyes were obvious, and asked Wang Lang to persuade him not to be a killer.
When Wang Lang was still in the circle, Li Baiyi on the side had already noticed Emperor Huai'an's eyes and immediately understood.
Emperor Huai'an wanted to shrink at this time, isn't that a turtle with a shrunken head, how can this work.
He and Concubine Xi forgot when he and Concubine Xi punished his father and son for running, how could he agree if he wanted to be decent at this time.
"Your Majesty, I implore Your Majesty to be heavy-handed, and the rewards and punishments are clear, and the people will definitely be happy to see it."
"All the colleagues present must also believe that Your Majesty will not let go of a bad person, and of course will not kill a good person by mistake."
When Huo Bai and the others heard this, they couldn't help but raise their heads and look at Li Baiyi angrily, eager to kill him with their eyes, but they didn't dare to say a word, for fear of being caught by Li Baiyi.
And Emperor Huai'an was also eager to strangle Li Baiyi at this time, this kid knew that he was going to spare these people, but he was so bold that he dared to persuade him in reverse.
"Your Majesty, we may have a small mistake, but our starting point is definitely good, unlike what Li County Ling said, if we have any disobedience, the sky will be thundered."
"At this time, I implore Your Majesty to investigate strictly, if Your Majesty finds anyone, you will be severely punished, but before this investigation is revealed, please Your Majesty do not arrest people at will, otherwise I am afraid that I will lose the hearts of my courtiers."
Song Guang couldn't help but say.
When Li Baiyi heard this, he couldn't help but sneer: "Just you? Standing in a row, if they are all killed, there may be unjust killings, but if they are killed one by one, there will definitely be fish that slip through the net. ”
Song Guang and the others were immediately furious, and begged Emperor Huai'an to kill Li Baiyi and other people who were misleading the public.
"Enough!" Emperor Huai'an said with a somewhat unsightly face.
"Although Li Baiyi's rhetoric may be a bit excessive, his purpose is to help Sheji, and this measure is still there, and it is impossible to punish him for his slightly inappropriate words."
"On the contrary, the ministers are even inferior to Li Baiyi, how can I ask me to severely punish Li Baiyi and spare you."
When Huo Bai and the others heard this, they couldn't help but feel tightened in their hearts and hurriedly apologized.
Emperor Huai'an looked at the crown prince and glanced at him, the crown prince Wang Lang had thought about helping to speak before, after all, Li Baiyi's words were too radical, and now he could be regarded as having found an opportunity.
"Father, just deal with your lords like this, I'm afraid it's too unfair to all of you."
"I think there must be some adults who have been wronged, if you really want to arrest people, you still have to find out."
Hearing what the prince said, the hundred officials finally breathed a sigh of relief, and they were very dissatisfied with the prince before.
With Li Baiyi's mixing, their perception of the prince has improved a lot.
"Thank you, His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince's words are truly fair."
"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince, for interceding for us."
The ministers couldn't help but thank the crown prince one after another, and the emperor's face was a little soothed.
Since the crown prince has spoken, there is naturally no need for he, the emperor, to keep tense, and immediately nodded.
"What the prince said makes sense, since that's the case, then I-"
Before Emperor Huai'an finished speaking, Li Baiyi stood up again, of course he couldn't let Emperor Huai'an expose the matter so casually, otherwise, wouldn't his sin today be in vain.
"Your Majesty, so many people are watching, how can we cover up this matter so easily, this is not a good explanation for the people."
When Emperor Huai'an heard this, he couldn't help but look at the people in the audience, and when he saw the people who knelt down, he hurriedly asked the people to stand up.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The people thanked one after another, although the voices were uneven, but they were still imposing, even from the city gate, they could still be heard clearly.
The deafening sound made Emperor Huai'an sober up a lot, even if he couldn't liquidate all the officials this time, he had to let at least a few heavyweights go down, otherwise it would be difficult to explain today, and Li Baiyi, this kid, would definitely continue to be entangled.
Huo Bai and the others were really anxious at this time, the situation was grim, Li Baiyi was entangled, and the people showed unparalleled strength.
These people who they don't look down on at all on weekdays have the power to threaten them at this time.
