Song Guang sneered and said: "Why, Emperor Huai'an found so many suitable candidates in such a short time, why can't he just hand them over to our people obediently?"
Song Guang said proudly: "As long as the candidates we recommend are all our people, it will be useless even if Emperor Huai'an takes the opportunity to get rid of some of our people. At that time, the power will still fall into our hands."
Huo Bai shook his head and said, "You have forgotten what Li Baiyi and Emperor Huai'an said on the city gate tower. The scientific examination is coming soon, and the officials will also be assessed."
"When the time comes, Emperor Huai'an and Li Baiyi will probably have a lot of power to choose who will pass and who will not."
"This time we were really tricked. We fell into Li Baiyi's trap for no reason. It's hard to climb out."
Huo Bai couldn't help but recall the situation at that time, and wondered how he could be so cruelly plotted by Li Baiyi.
"All of this is probably a coincidence. Li Baiyi just wanted to cause trouble at the beginning and accidentally helped Emperor Huai'an, but his coincidence is too disgusting."
Speaking of this, Huo Bai couldn't help but change his face, and he felt very depressed.
Although he admitted that he lost to Li Baiyi, he had no idea how he could make a mistake. Li Baiyi did not participate in the whole process. They got in on their own. This was a conspiracy.
Tang En stood up and said: "Master Huo Baihuo, you have to think of a way to prevent Emperor Huai'an from succeeding in rectifying the government this time, otherwise it will be in danger for us to recruit people."
Huo Bai snorted coldly and said: "Of course I will not let them succeed, and I will also make this campaign to rectify the officialdom be ruined as soon as possible so that they cannot carry out it smoothly."
Song Guang nodded, with a happy look on his face, and said: "Yes, Mr. Huo, this time, Emperor Huai'an is allowed to take control of the household department. When the issue of money and food comes, if he is serious, I don't know how many officials will go down. After all, this is But it is the most important department of Dakun.”
"Although the rectification of officialdom may not be successful, once they start from the Ministry of Household Affairs, it will be a series of things."
"A few of our core people have already been captured. If we continue to attack from the Ministry of Household Affairs, we, the Prime Minister's party, will be seriously injured. Once the Prime Minister comes back, he will definitely take away half of us. Life."
"Yes, once Emperor Huai'an and Li Baiyi are allowed to expand this rectification of officialdom, the power we hold will gradually lose control."
"It's hard to see the light of day for the Prime Minister's important matters."
Huo Bai nodded and said helplessly: "Of course I know that we must not let Emperor Huai'an succeed in rectifying the government. We have been careless once before, and this is how Li Xiao rose to power."
"If Emperor Huai'an succeeds in reorganizing the civil service, he will have great power in both civil and military affairs, and none of us who have been against him will be able to escape."
Hearing this, the officials' expressions changed. The name Li Xiao made them hate it with itch.
If it weren't for Li Xiao, I'm afraid the whole Dakun would have belonged to them and Dakun's name would have been changed long ago.
Speaking of Li Xiao, they couldn't help but recall what happened in Dakun in the past ten years. They battled wits and courage with Emperor Huai'an, and everything went smoothly in the court.
From the beginning, he felt like facing a powerful enemy, but later he could feel calm when facing Emperor Huai'an, and even felt that Emperor Huai'an was just a puppet, and it was they who really controlled Da Kun.
At that time, they had the idea of getting rid of Emperor Huai'an, but later they found that there was nothing wrong with Emperor Huai'an being the emperor. At least he could be a mascot to make the people feel that Dakun was singing and dancing, and the world was at peace.
And they themselves are desperately trying to make money and strive for benefits and benefits for themselves.
It was not until later, after they had almost taken control of the court, that they were preparing to replace Emperor Huai'an, and when good news came from all over the country, they realized that they had been wrong.
It is not these people who really control Da Kun, but Emperor Huai'an.
Emperor Huai'an built a plank road openly and secretly to Chencang, which deceived them and made them suffer.
Emperor Huai'an is not mediocre in ability at all, but has been dormant and secretly accumulating strength.
Although he did not control the ministers of the court, he controlled the army through Li Xiao's hand.
Li Xiao is the sharpest knife in Emperor Huai'an's hand, he will chop whoever he is asked to chop!
It was precisely because Emperor Huai'an and Li Xiao were united that they suppressed these ministers and Da Kun did not change his color.
When Emperor Huai'an recalled Li Xiao to the capital from the place where he defeated the Southern Barbarians, all the officials went to greet him tremblingly.
They knew what they had done over the years, and with Li Xiao's military power in hand, Emperor Huai'an would be like killing a chicken if he wanted to deal with them.
That time, these ministers were in the most embarrassing situation, and they even felt that their lives were about to die.
They finally know what Emperor Huai'an has been doing all these years. Only by taking control of the military can they truly stand upright!
It was from that time that they focused on cultivating military generals who were loyal to the civil service group, and this led to the rise of King Onishi.
Although until now, King Daxi cannot be compared with Duke Zhenguo, but at least he is a powerful force that can make civil servants like them feel at ease.
Especially a few days ago, the soldiers under Zhenguo Gong went to relieve themselves in front of the gates of these civil servants, which made them even more angry, but they dared not speak out, so they had to increase their support for King Daxi.
Although these civilian officials did not have military power, they had money and food, which was more than enough to fund an army.
They were confident that even if Li Xiao was good at fighting, he would not be able to continue without money or food.
Huo Bai came back to his senses from the memories of the past and said to several people: "This time, Li Baiyi and Emperor Huai'an want to rectify the government, want to assess officials from various places, and even want to select from among the capable people in the scientific examination." If officials directly enter the officialdom, they must use the staff."
"If my guess is correct, Your Majesty will definitely take action against the officials. After all, these things are done by the officials. Emperor Huai'an cannot let our people do this. He knows in his heart that we will definitely not Let him get this done.”
Tang En hesitated for a moment and said, "Then tell me, how should we solve it?"
Song Guang, who was on the side, also snorted coldly and said: "No matter how much you say, if there is no countermeasure, it is still nothing."
"You have to think clearly when you say that. Emperor Huai'an and Li Baiyi must still be thinking about finding loopholes, but we must not let others take advantage of them."
Huo Baiyi rolled his eyes and said, "Isn't that what I was thinking about? Even if the Prime Minister is here, he won't be able to find a solution so quickly."
