He had been worried about Li Baiyi before, fearing that he would be convicted and then there would be no one around him who could support him.
He never fights for power, so that everyone around him becomes farther and farther away from him.
But the team around the Eighth Prince is getting bigger and bigger.
Only Li Baiyi has been standing by his side, and he is relatively firm. Although his ability was a bit lacking before, at least he was loyal.
And now he is his right-hand man. He really doesn't want to lose Li Baiyi unless necessary.
Emperor Huai'an had been watching the changes in the audience. Those people had not shown the slightest interest in Tang En's orders before, and he basically listened to what they said.
It can be said that these people no longer have any trust in the government.
And when Tang En changed the order person to Li Baiyi, the reactions of the people became even more interesting.
They seemed to be afraid that the mission would go away, and they looked very excited.
One by one, they rushed forward to take on this task.
Even if the bounty given by this task is only the initial price, they have no hesitation.
Could it be that that boy really had this ability and could have greater appeal than the court officials?
Emperor Huai'an felt that there was no luster on his face at all, even if all this was done by these officials and enriched their own pockets.
He, the emperor, is also to blame.
When the people hate him, they will only blame him as the emperor and alienate him.
Thinking of this, Emperor Huai'an couldn't help clenching his fists.
No matter what, this time he can't let these guys continue to act recklessly. This unhealthy trend must be stopped!
He couldn't help but look at Li Baiyi, who was still in high spirits at this time, with a trace of expectation in his eyes.
This kid is always so unexpected, and I don't know how big a storm he can cause, but right now, it seems that he has a tendency to get out of control.
Even if he wants to handle it lightly this time, he may not be able to do so. After all, this is happening in front of so many people. How can he, the emperor, pretend not to see it.
At this time, Li Baiyi ate another chicken leg handed over by Long Que, and ate it with relish.
While eating, Li Baiyi said to Longque speechlessly: "There is no chili in this chicken leg. Go back and criticize the cook."
Long Que looked around with some worry and said to Li Baiyi.
"Master, there are so many people here, are you really not worried? What if we mess up?"
Li Baiyi rolled his eyes: "What are you afraid of? Master, I am sure of victory. Those old guys can't defeat me, Master."
His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, and some officials heard it and immediately drew a blank stare.
"This kid is really arrogant. How can he be sure that the people will obey his orders? Could it be that those people are his entrustees."
"I'm afraid this is unlikely. He can find individual people to act as trustees. How can he find so many people? This is too much."
At this time, although Li Baiyi said something tough, he also acted very relaxed.
But he was a little nervous in his heart. Now it had reached the most critical moment, and these people could not let themselves go.
If he really loses to these old guys, Emperor Huai'an will probably protect him, but some suffering is inevitable.
Of course, his worries disappeared immediately when he saw the people rushing forward to take over his mission.
The originally nervous face became triumphant again.
"Look, let me tell you, young master, these people must be standing with me, and they must all listen to me."
"The young master is really powerful. Why do they listen to you so much? What kind of magic power do you have?"
Li Baiyi rolled his eyes and said, "Master, this is my ability, not my magic power."
At the same time, Downstairs at the city gate, Tang En was already a little out of control. These people didn't give him any face at all!
I heard before that when cabinet officials were dispatched on missions, they were as motionless as tree stumps.
As soon as Li Baiyi's order was given, they rushed forward. What kind of attitude was this? This was blatantly confronting the court officials, or at least their cabinet!
He originally thought that even if the people in the cabinet would not win, at least they would not lose. But now, these people all support Li Baiyi. This is obviously a losing situation!
"You unscrupulous people, you really think that the cabinet is a vegetarian. Just now the cabinet minister asked you to drive the carriage, why didn't you accept the task, and now you are accepting Li Baiyi's order?"
"You dare to offend the cabinet, are you tired of living?"
Hearing Tang En's words, the people around him couldn't help but be startled, and then they reacted.
"Sir, we don't want to offend the cabinet. Your order is not mandatory. Can't we, the people, have some choice?"
"That's right. Does your cabinet have to take care of whoever we want to work for? Is it like feeding pigs when the court raises you in such a free time?"
Common people, you said nothing and just left Tang En speechless.
As the Minister of Rites, he is not unable to speak out against a few common people, but he is so talkative. Who is he going to fight against?
Seeing Tang En's bearish appearance, the officials on the city gate couldn't help but shake their heads, feeling very embarrassed.
"This bitch, wasn't he very capable before? Now he looks like a coward."
"Hmph, you can't even deal with Li Baiyi. You are defeated so easily. Master Huo's arrangement is in vain."
"Yes, if I had known earlier, I would have asked Mr. Huo to go down in person to ensure victory."
"Is it really possible to win? Those people may not recognize it. Look at how crazy they were just now."
"This Tang En can't be seen at ordinary times, but at critical moments it is really embarrassing and brings the cabinet into disrepute."
At this time, Tang En was already confused by the people. He immediately waved his hand and said to everyone.
"Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense to me. I'm going to ask you if the reason why you did this is because you were ordered by Li Baiyi to go against the court."
"Do you know the serious consequences of doing this?"
"You are trampling on the dignity of the court. I have reason to suspect that you are going to follow Li Baiyi to overthrow my court, Da Kun."
"If you act so boldly again, believe it or not, I will arrest you."
"If you tell me honestly, I will tell you, Your Majesty, that you may be exempted from the charges."
"Tell me, are you taking advantage of Li Baiyi and deliberately defaming the court here?"
When Li Baiyi heard this, he couldn't help but shook his head, with a look of ridicule on his face.
"This Tang En just got slapped in the face. He doesn't have a long memory."
