Li Baiyi couldn't help but look at the official who was speaking. He had been silent before, so Li Baiyi didn't notice this person. Hearing what the other person meant, he meant to go against him.
This guy seems to be a minister of the Ministry of Personnel. If he steps forward, I'm afraid something bad will happen.
Emperor Huai'an frowned and said, "What does Huo Aiqing have to say?"
Huo Bai thought for a while and said: "Returning to your majesty, I feel that although you have misunderstood Li Baiyi before, they are also thinking about the country and the country of Dakun, and they do not really mean to embarrass Li Baiyi."
"Furthermore, everyone knows Li Baiyi's past reputation. If he hadn't explained this matter clearly, who knows what new disaster relief methods he had used."
"Therefore, my lords, it is not a crime for you to be ignorant. It does not count as deliberately slandering him."
"Just imagine, if the ministers see a dandy misbehaving and do nothing, that would be the real sign of national subjugation."
"I believe that the actions of all your lords are not only not wrong, but are actually of great merit. They should be commended."
Huo Bai was the official minister of Dakun. As soon as he said these words, he immediately led a group of people to stand up and cheer for him.
"Your Majesty, Lord Huo is right. Lord Tang and Lord Song made their mistakes unintentionally, and their intentions were good. I believe they should be rewarded, not punished."
"Your Majesty, I agree with you and I will reward you."
...
Suddenly, another group of people stood up to support the idea of rewarding Tang En and others. The scene really opened Li Baiyi's eyes.
These guys are so shameless, even the black ones can be said to be white.
Li Baiyi couldn't help but clapped his hands and said, "What you said is so sincere. Your Majesty, what are you waiting for? Why don't you just do what they say quickly?"
"This obviously almost caused such a good disaster relief plan to be lost. It can be said to be a big mistake. It's okay not to punish it. It's really an eye-opener for me to actually want a reward."
When Emperor Huai'an heard this, he couldn't help but have a dark look on his face. Li Baiyi's words were obviously meant to ridicule the ministers, but he felt that he was scolded as well.
And this Huo Bai is really Guo Wentian’s good dog.
Without Guo Wentian, he automatically acted as Guo Wentian's right-hand man.
Huo Bai did not put Li Baiyi's words on the line, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the county magistrate made a speech in excitement. I will not argue with him, and I will think that he is frank and frank."
"I think your majesty will not punish Li Baiyi severely because of his angry words."
Emperor Huai'an's face suddenly became even more ugly, while Tang En, Song Guang and others looked even more proud, feeling that they had caught Li Baiyi's pigtails.
Huo Bai's meaning is obvious. If His Majesty wants to sentence them severely because of their "unintentional mistakes", then Li Baiyi should also be sentenced severely.
Because Li Baiyi also made an "inadvertent mistake".
Li Baiyi was immediately annoyed. He didn't expect these guys to be so difficult to deal with. The old fox was indeed an old fox.
Okay, since you are here to fight, you can't blame him. When ministers fight with the emperor, they are born to lose.
The emperor must be even more dissatisfied with these guys for doing this, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as taking down one or two officials.
Li Baiyi originally just wanted to solve this matter and help the emperor deal with some officials.
But these guys were unwilling to admit defeat and insisted on fighting to the end, even involving more officials.
Then there are only two possibilities, either the emperor and Li Bai's clothes are soft and they turn the page.
Either he and the emperor cooperated to pull down more officials. In this case, the officialdom of the capital would probably be shaken for the first time!
But Li Baiyi naturally doesn't care about this. Since these guys want to play, then just play.
Emperor Huai'an was about to get angry. Suddenly, he hesitated and looked at Li Baiyi, finding that the boy seemed a little eager to try.
"How do you feel about dedicating yourself to the county magistrate?"
Li Baiyi immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think this is nonsense and shameless."
"My so-called gaffe is just a few words between opening and closing my mouth. It will not have any major impact."
"But it's different when some people unite to force the palace. It's really possible that people will die, and not only may I die, but there will probably be more refugees because my new disaster relief method cannot be implemented. will die."
"Your Majesty, their actions have caused such serious consequences. How can they be exempted from responsibility and even reward them just because their so-called starting point is good?"
"If this kind of reward is really implemented, it would be irresponsible to the people and irresponsible to the country."
When Huo Bai heard this, his face immediately turned cold and he said: "Nonsense, did what you adults said really have any serious consequences?"
"Since there is no such thing, it cannot be punished."
"As for the so-called irresponsibility you mentioned, no matter how busy you are at work, you are responsible for the people."
"Now you just came up with an idea, and the people below are actually implementing it. What do you have to be proud of?"
Li Baiyi laughed and said: "Of course I am worthy of pride. If you don't agree, then I will make a bet with you."
"You said, who's words have more weight in the hearts of the people of the capital than the entire Dakun Chaotang or my mere dedicated county magistrate."
Hearing this, Huo Bai couldn't help but widen his eyes, feeling that this boy was really self-righteous.
This kid really thought that he knew everything because he had come up with a new method of disaster relief, and he actually wanted to compete with old foxes like them for his weight in the hearts of the people.
This is above the court, Li Baiyi is nothing, not even a hair.
Even if his father comes, it is nothing compared to the entire court.
Is this kid out of his mind and crazy? He really treats himself like a green onion.
Huo Bai felt as if he had grabbed Li Baiyi's pigtails, and immediately sneered and said, "What you are asking is a bit childish."
"How can you, a mere county magistrate who dedicates himself to the county seat, compare with the entire Dakun court? Your official position is probably the smallest in the court. I'm right."
Li Baiyi nodded, but did not deny this, and said with a sneer: "You are right, I can indeed be said to have the smallest official position in the entire court, but I can shake the entire court with the smallest official position. Influence."
"If you are not convinced, we can make a bet."
"Let's see, in the minds of the people in the capital, whose words have more weight, you guys, or me."
