Looking at the group of officials with innocent eyes, he snorted coldly: "You let them go now, but they may not let you go."

"Don't you really want to give it a try? Maybe the emperor will agree to it."

When Li Baiyi heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Emperor Huai'an not far away, and said with a bitter smile: "Do you really think that the emperor has such strong control over the court that he can kill whoever he wants."

"If this is really the case, then the Emperor doesn't need me to do what I did today."

Li Baiyi sighed: "If we can capture a few high-ranking officials today, it will be considered a good result. If we want to kill them all, then there must be someone in charge of the affairs in the court."

After thinking about it innocently, his eyes suddenly lit up: "It's not a bad thing if you don't take care of things."

"What the common people dislike most is having these shackles on their heads. If these shackles can be removed, maybe the common people will live a better life."

Li Baiyi sneered, shook his head and said, "What you think is interesting, but it's unlikely."

"The imperial machine needs to be running and cannot be stopped for a moment."

"If you stop anywhere at this moment, things will soon pile up, more and more."

"This is one of the reasons why the emperor has wanted to move these officials for so many years but was unable to do so."

Tianzhen shook his head and said: "What you are talking about are only superficial disadvantages, but have you ever thought that if you keep compromising and giving in like this, what you end up losing is the people's trust in the emperor."

“Only by making a determined effort to eradicate chaos and eradicate all the previous ills can we truly revive China.”

Tianzhen's words couldn't help but make Li Baiyi nod his head, and he looked at Tianzhen with admiration.

"What you said makes sense. Why didn't I think of that before? It's true."

Tianzhen pointed at the people in the audience and continued: "Look, the people now have so little trust in the officials. How much trust do you think they can retain in the emperor?"

"Although officials are responsible for the wrong things they did, the emperor did not restrain them and allowed them to do such wrong things without being punished. This is not normal."

Li Baiyi quickly blocked Tianzhen's mouth and looked at Emperor Huai'an with a guilty conscience. Seeing that the other party didn't pay attention to his side, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly asked Tianzhen to pay attention to his words, and then walked towards the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I feel that the officials have brought such great disgrace to the imperial court this time, which shows their reputation in the hearts of the people and should be thoroughly investigated."

"You can say that none of the officials in the cabinet will be retained. After all, the orders given before were in the name of the cabinet."

"Maybe the people don't know what the cabinet has done, but judging from their performance, it is not unfair at all to take down all the cabinet officials."

Hearing this, Baiguan immediately looked at Li Baiyi with wide eyes. This boy was really not afraid of the wind and flashed his tongue.

Who gave him the confidence to kill all the members of the cabinet?

Emperor Huai'an couldn't help but hesitate at this time, coughing slightly and said: "Well, perhaps the high officials in the court did something wrong."

"However, the imperial court is in the midst of employing people at this time, and it is not appropriate to lay off too many officials."

"I think it's better to lay off a few key people, and at least give an explanation to the people."

When the officials heard this, they couldn't help but relax a little. Although the emperor still had to deal with some people, the scope was greatly reduced.

If he really does what Li Baiyi does, the blow will be huge and no one can bear it.

Baiguan looked at Li Baiyi as if he were looking at an enemy. In Baiguan's heart, Li Baiyi was their enemy.

Anyone who might be implicated in this incident would like to eat Li Baiyi's flesh and drink his blood.

"Everyone, do you have any different opinions?"

Emperor Huai'an looked at the ministers, but did not look at Li Baiyi, because he wanted this matter to end as soon as possible.

All the ministers breathed a sigh of relief, but Li Baiyi stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think it is not enough."

As soon as Li Baiyi finished speaking, all the ministers became nervous and looked at Li Baiyi with eyes that could almost kill people.

Before, they thought that Li Baiyi was just messing around, but now it seems that he really wants them to die.

Even Emperor Huai'an frowned at this time and said, "Li Baiyi, what do you say?"

Li Baiyi said seriously: "Your Majesty, I feel that since the attitude of the people has been shown this time, if the court does not express enough, I am afraid that it may not be able to win over the people."

"It's easy to lose people's support, but it's difficult to get it back."

"If only a few officials are dealt with, the remaining officials will be relieved, and it will not cause much shock to the officialdom."

"But the common people are also unable to see any changes in officialdom. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the common people."

"Your Majesty, if you want to make changes, some interests will inevitably be affected, and it is impossible to get through it peacefully. Your Majesty must understand this better than Wei Chen."

"Change cannot happen all at once. There must be a process. However, if His Majesty does not have the confidence to promote this initial change, then the rest can only be imagined."

Li Baiyi's words made Emperor Huai'an take a deep breath and couldn't help but nod his head and said: "What you said makes sense. No matter what you do, there will be no risk."

"I was too cautious before, so I couldn't move forward. With your words, I feel more at ease."

Huo Bai on the side heard the words and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, no, Dakun is in a precarious situation, and the mountains and rivers are broken. How can you touch the officials at will?"

"Now that there are so many refugees coming to the capital, you can only imagine what it will be like in other places."

"The people's trust in the imperial court has dropped to a very low level now. If the government is rectified at this time, it may make the officials feel uneasy."

"If it is used by someone with ulterior motives, it may turn into a disaster. This is probably something your Majesty does not want to see."

When Li Baiyi heard this, he couldn't help but sneer and said: "Master Huo, you are trying to threaten His Majesty with these words, but do you think His Majesty is someone you can threaten?"

"Is it because there are many problems in Dakun that the official administration can't be stopped?"

"Anyway, it's already what it is now. If you make some moves, it might be even better than before."

Li Baiyi's words immediately hit Emperor Huai'an's heart: "Yes, Li Baiyi is right, I guess no matter how bad it is, it can get much worse."

Emperor Huai'an looked at the people and snorted coldly,
