"Your Majesty, although the people are quite dissatisfied with the court officials, they don't know whether we will deal with the officials. It's enough to express our position and let the people see it. We don't necessarily have to deal with the officials in large numbers."
Song Guang couldn't help but said.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the people do not understand the various policies of the imperial court and the rising sun. It is not just what we say."
"Your Majesty, you can't just listen to the people. Then what is the purpose of the Dakun royal family's research?"
"Your Majesty, be careful."
After careful consideration, Emperor Huai'an let out a heavy breath and said: "Everyone, having said this, I have decided to remove six officials from the Ministry of Husbandry, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Rites. As for the remaining ministers, they will be dismissed temporarily. If we don’t deal with it, what do you think?”
Hearing this, everyone was shocked. Six officials were taken down, which was not a small number.
But compared to the hundreds of officials present, it was not even 10%, and it was nothing compared to the fact that all of them were taken down.
Seeing that no one from the officials spoke, Emperor Huai'an couldn't help but smile: "If you feel something is wrong, you can raise it and I will see if there is any possibility of easing it."
Although he said that he wanted to relax, Emperor Huai'an's expression seemed a bit cold. Of course, he didn't really want to make peace with these guys, but wanted to see where the bottom line of these guys was.
This time he finally seized the opportunity. If he couldn't get any results, he would definitely not give up.
If these guys don't want to suffer any losses, then they must be prepared to bear greater losses!
Anyway, Prime Minister Guo still has at least two months before he can return to the capital. He still has plenty of time to compete with these guys to see who can restrain whom.
After Prime Minister Guo left the capital, it can be said that the officials were leaderless. Even if their strength could suppress Emperor Huai'an, no one would stand up and sacrifice their own interests in exchange for overall victory.
"Your Majesty, I agree that this is the most appropriate thing to do. Your Majesty is wise."
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, this will not only make the people speechless but also avoid causing great turmoil."
All the officials praised the emperor one after another. In any case, they had passed this test. As for those who were defeated, it was their bad luck.
Of course, this kid Li Baiyi must not be let go. Who can let this kid stir up conflicts between the emperor and them.
If it weren't for Li Baiyi, Emperor Huai'an would still be the same Emperor Huai'an as before, unable to make any big waves.
But now, Emperor Huai'an can use Li Baiyi as a stirring stick to fiddle with the officialdom.
If Li Baiyi is allowed to continue to be arrogant, I am afraid that each of them will be implicated. Therefore, killing Li Baiyi is a must-win!
The officials who had passed this level were celebrating, but those who had been defeated felt like mourning their heirs.
The only thing they hope for now is that Prime Minister Guo can come back and quickly reinstate them.
When they thought of Prime Minister Guo, they felt much calmer, and the depression they had just been dismissed from their posts disappeared.
As for those officials who passed the customs, they did not have a good impression of Li Baiyi at this moment.
They passed the test this time, but next time, and the next time, they won't be so lucky every time!
When Emperor Huai'an saw that the officials had no objection, he couldn't help but snorted in his heart, "You guys know each other."
He looked back at Li Baiyi and said with a smile, "Are you satisfied?"
When Li Baiyi heard this, he couldn't help being speechless. I am just a small county magistrate, so what should I be satisfied with or dissatisfied with.
The old emperor had no good intentions and asked him this just to make him the target of public criticism.
But it doesn't matter if you think about it, these guys probably already hated him before.
Since the emperor doesn't want to let him live in peace, he doesn't have to hide it: "Your Majesty, I am not satisfied. I think it is not enough."
"Your Majesty, this time the people have shown how distrustful they are of the imperial officials. They are not even as good as a well-known prodigal like me."
"What does this mean? It means that it is not a problem of individual people, but a problem of Dakun officialdom."
"It's not that officials don't have power, but what they do on a daily basis makes people lose any trust."
"How can a group of court officials who make their officials and people do what they want to do to help His Majesty manage the country well?"
"If Your Majesty wants to accomplish something, of course you cannot use such a group of officials who are not trusted by the people. Otherwise, it will only alienate Your Majesty and the people."
"The people today are willing to kneel before His Majesty because they feel that Your Majesty can still rectify these officials and return them to a peaceful world."
"But if His Majesty fails to make drastic reforms after discovering that the problem is so serious, it will even affect His Majesty's image in the hearts of the people."
"I guess Your Majesty doesn't want his image in the hearts of the people to be damaged."
When Emperor Huai'an heard this, he couldn't help but take a deep breath and looked at Li Baiyi speechless.
Does this kid really want him to rectify the government, or is he just here to make himself angry?
Based on his past performance, he shouldn't be so willful.
But it is so difficult to rectify the administration of officials. Once there is a slight failure, it is likely that everything will be lost.
Now that Prime Minister Guo is not in the court, it is a good opportunity, but it can also easily leave disasters.
If we don't get it right, not only will Kyoto be in chaos, but the whole of Kunming may even be in chaos!
Just like what Li Baiyi said, Kyoto is in such a mess, let alone other places in Dakun.
Dakun now has several vassal kings and some enfeoffed princesses, all of which are large and small forces.
Once Dakun is in chaos, it will inevitably be out of control.
However, if the rectification of officialdom is done well this time and the policies of Dakun Chaotang are clear and clear, then the national power will increase, and those problems that were originally problems can be easily solved.
To be honest, Emperor Huai'an was very excited about such a beautiful situation, but more than ten years of struggle made him a little undecided.
Having struggled with these officials for a long time, he knew very well how difficult these officials were. He would not touch the officials until the right time came.
Hearing Li Baiyi's words, Huo Bai and others immediately glared at Li Baiyi. His Majesty had already decided not to pursue the case, but this guy came to interfere again!
Why didn't he die? Why didn't that Zhu Xian kill him?
Huo Bai looked at Li Baiyi fiercely, and then he saw Emperor Huai'an's hesitation and knew why the emperor was hesitant.
After thinking for a moment, Huo Bai smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I feel that it is absolutely impossible to rectify the administration of officials, especially at this moment."
Emperor Huai'an was stunned for a moment and suddenly became interested.
