At this time, all the officials were afraid to look at Emperor Huai'an, but they did not dare to look directly.
Li Baiyi's dialogue with the people has revealed the bottom line of these court officials, that is, they have no bottom line at all!
They can do this to the people, and they can also do this to him as the emperor, it just depends on whether the time is ripe.
Of course, it was impossible for Tang En to admit that he had lost. As long as there was still a chance, he would seize it tightly and never let the opportunity slip away!
If he just followed the path he envisioned and went directly to investigate Li Baiyi, today's embarrassing situation would be resolved immediately.
They can also take advantage of the investigation to take advantage of Li Baiyi, and do whatever they want.
But now, Li Baiyi sang with the people and said it to death. He didn't dare to imagine what kind of situation he would face.
If other officials did not come forward, they might not be punished.
But he, the presiding officer, was different. The emperor's words would make others' heads fall to the ground!
Tang En glanced at Emperor Huai'an with some panic, and kept cheering himself up in his heart.
"No, I can't die, I still want to avenge my son."
When he thought that his son died trying to move Li Baiyi down, he couldn't help but take a deep breath and cheer up again.
"Li Baiyi, you've gone too far to bully others. Don't blame me for fighting you to the death!"
At this time, Huo Bai almost couldn't stand still, his body swayed, and he quickly held on to the handrail of the city gate tower next to him.
He didn't expect Li Baiyi to play so big this time. Others might only see things on the surface, but he, Huo Bai, understood it clearly.
This kid is going to the official administration of Dakun Chaotang today. He wants to rectify the official administration!
God, is this kid crazy? If he really does this, he will definitely be attacked by a group of people!
Huo Bai regretted being the leader of these guys. Facing Emperor Huai'an alone, he was already somewhat powerless.
Now there is another Li Baiyi, and he is a master who doesn't care. He is really unable to bear it.
No, I can't just sit back and wait for death. As long as I'm still here, this kid Li Baiyi can't help Emperor Huai'an break the balance between the officials in the court!
Before Prime Minister Guo comes back, he must help Prime Minister Guo guard this three-acre land.
As long as you persist until Prime Minister Guo comes back, you can get everything back, no need to worry about anything else!
At this time, Tang En was really getting more and more scared as he thought about it. Although he could sue Li Baiyi, it didn't mean that Li Baiyi couldn't sue him.
This time, he originally wanted to win the bet with Li Baiyi on behalf of the cabinet, but he didn't expect to lose, and he lost so completely!
"Hey, Old Tang, you don't know how to beat me. You fell down before I even exerted any force. Can you be tougher?"
When Tang En heard Li Baiyi's voice above his head, his face suddenly turned into anger: "Hmph, don't think that I will surrender to you because you have confused the people. You cannot deceive His Majesty and your Lordships with your little tricks."
"I advise you to explain everything quickly to avoid being found out. Then you won't be so polite."
When Li Baiyi heard this, he burst into laughter: "Old Tang, you are still here dreaming about the Spring and Autumn Period. Why do you think I am just betting with you this time to drive a carriage?"
When Tang En heard this, he couldn't help but feel something was wrong. He seemed to have fallen into Li Baiyi's trap. What was going on.
Li Baiyi continued: "You have lost the support of the people. This is only in the capital, but it has already reached such an outrageous level."
"It is conceivable that in other areas of Dakun, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and in places under the jurisdiction of feudal officials, they may not even know who the emperor is."
"Under such circumstances, don't you think that Dakun's officialdom has reached a point where it can no longer be managed without rectification?"
Li Baiyi's words were like thunder, exploding in his mind.
Tang En suddenly discovered that what Li Baiyi said was true. Once the incident was made in front of the people, his mood had changed.
Although the people today do not know that the emperor is coming, as the emperor, if Emperor Huai'an does not give an explanation to the people on the spot, he may not be able to pass the test.
Things are so big today, and it is really unjustifiable not to rectify the officialdom, although he also feels that the action to rectify the officialdom is too big.
Not only would it touch every aspect, but it would also involve great risks. Based on his understanding of Emperor Huai'an, it was unlikely that Emperor Huai'an would touch this thing at this time.
But what if, if the emperor gets hot-headed or does whatever it takes to achieve his goal, then he will really be doomed!
Thinking of this, Tang En's whole body collapsed to the ground, unable to move.
Seeing this scene, the people were all confused and didn't know what happened.
"What's wrong with this dog officer? He was fine just now. He shouldn't be blackmailing us."
"It shouldn't be the case. Even if you want to blackmail someone, there are so many of us who can testify. Don't be afraid."
A group of people were afraid, but they suppressed their fear and did not run away, not because they were not afraid, but because they still had illusions about Li Baiyi's mission that Tang En had just mentioned.
At this time, Li Baiyi saw that Tang En had softened and couldn't help but slap his thigh: "I overestimated the strength of these guys. I didn't expect him to kneel down so easily."
"Had I known that, I would have added one thing to the bet. If they lose, each of them will give me one hundred thousand taels of silver."
"Although one hundred thousand taels of silver is nothing to an ordinary corrupt official, the sum total of hundreds of officials in the court can produce ten million taels of silver. This county will immediately become the richest man in the country."
Li Baiyi's words made the innocent person beside him couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"What's wrong with the richest man? Will his neck be harder? If he is chopped off, will he not be able to chop him off?"
Prince Wang Lang stood up and said, "One hundred thousand taels of silver per person? It's really not much. If all the houses are confiscated, the amount will be at least ten times greater."
When Li Baiyi heard this, he couldn't help but imagine the situation where all the officials of the imperial court had their homes confiscated, and he couldn't help but be clever.
Not to mention, thinking about this kind of thing is very exciting, but it is probably impossible to do it now, so don’t think about it.
Tianzhen on the side said again: "It is still easier to confiscate the house. These corrupt officials should be killed and burned to make room for the people. Don't occupy the latrines."
Li Baiyi patted him on the shoulder and said with a wry smile: "Your method is really too radical. Although these officials are guilty, there is not enough evidence to target them to death. Confiscation of the house is considered a very serious punishment."
Tianzhen snorted coldly: "You can't miss this opportunity. If you miss this opportunity, I'm afraid you won't get the chance again if you want to make trouble again."
