Downstairs, Xiao Lan'er, Qin Wenjian and others were getting anxious because they didn't know what was going on upstairs.
When the ministers upstairs heard what Emperor Yuankang said, they felt a chill on their backs and broke out in cold sweat.
Kill them all at once? Reason told them that Emperor Yuankang didn't dare to do this, but they didn't dare to gamble. The current emperor was no longer the emperor they controlled at will.
The current emperor has gradually revealed his ambition and fangs, and no one knows if he has any tricks up his sleeve.
In addition, the old thief of the Xu family and the young thief of the Xu family are fanning the flames. If he gets excited and really kills 800 enemies and loses 1,000 of his own, then he's done for.
"I have no objection!"
Du Ruhua was the first to express his opinion. Anyway, he was not on the list of punishments.
As for Zhang Anshi and Qin Dehai, their positions are quite important, but not necessarily their people.
At worst, they can just find someone else to fill their positions.
"We have no objection."
The other ministers also quickly agreed. They could accept such a result if only a few people were sacrificed.
But what they didn't understand was that the punishment of Qin Dehai, the Minister of Rites, Lou Jinglong, the Minister of Revenue, and Zhang Anshi was because they offended Xu An, which was reasonable.
But because of the crime of not using people carefully, even Qin Zaidao, the Minister of Personnel, was punished. This was unreasonable.
Lou Jinglong and Qin Dehai were pale. Although they were unwilling, they did not dare to contradict Emperor Yuankang at this time.
But they roared in anger and wanted to torture Xu An on the spot. They had been in the officialdom for decades, but they never thought that they would not fall into the hands of their competitors in the end, but into the hands of a young boy.
That seemingly illusory trick hit their weak spot, leaving them no room to fight back.
"No objection, then execute it!"
Emperor Yuankang waved his hand and let the imperial guards retreat.
He turned his head to look at Xu An and said, "Is this enough?"
Xu An swallowed hard, it's gross, you old man are obviously using me to attract firepower, now these old guys will probably kill me when they have time.
But it doesn't matter, I don't want to be an official, and I have Xu Xiao as my backer, so I'm very stable, why should I be afraid of a group of unarmed old men?
"Not enough, dealing with Lou Jinglong, Qin Dehai and others is far from enough."
Xu An straightened his chest, my purpose is not as simple as simply dealing with these few people?
I do this to put the rectification of officialdom on the stage and give you, Emperor Yuankang, a headache.
Is it so easy to trick me?
"Your Majesty, since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people win the world. Now, because of the dark administration of my Daqian, bullying the people and treating them like pigs and dogs often happen, which leads to the separation of the people and the court."
"If it is not rectified, I am afraid that in the near future, the court will suffer the consequences."
Xu An clasped his fists and said, "I hope Your Majesty will be able to see through everything and rectify the administration, so that the people will trust the court and the government again, so that the laws of Daqian can support the bright world of Daqian, and let Your Majesty's reputation deter the entire Kyushu land."
The corner of Emperor Yuankang's eyes jumped suddenly!
This little bastard, this move is too cruel.
You talk nicely, but you don't even see whether the court has the ability to do this now!
The capital is still unstable, and you start to rectify the local area. Once the backyard is on fire, you will not be able to please both sides.
"Your Majesty, no!"
Du Ruhua's face was also very ugly. He was really afraid that Emperor Yuankang would listen to Xu An's advice.
Although the risk is great, this is undoubtedly an opportunity, a good opportunity to disrupt Zhao Si's power.
And what about Emperor Yuan Kang's character? As long as there is a chance of winning, he dares to fight!
"Your Majesty, there are disasters and banditry everywhere in Daqian now. Once the administration is rectified rashly, the local government may be in danger, unable to function, and fall into a state of paralysis."
"In this way, I am afraid it will cause greater unrest and endanger the country of Daqian."
Du Ruhua bowed and said: "It is not so easy to win the hearts of the people. What Mr. Xu did is undoubtedly to destroy the century-old foundation of Daqian."
"Your Majesty, I ask you to kill this beast."
When the ministers heard this, they immediately became excited.
Rectifying the administration not only affects their interests, but also the interests of the nobles and nobles in the world.
Will they sit and wait to be harvested?
"Your Majesty, you must not do that!"
"Your Majesty, Xu An's actions are detrimental to the country. Please execute him."
"I second the motion..."
The ministers who were originally frightened by Xu An's rebuke now seemed to be revived as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
They looked as if they wanted to tear Xu An to pieces on the spot.
Wu Xie subconsciously stood beside Xu An.
Oh my god, you old thieves, your faces are not swollen enough yet, right... Xu An suddenly hadSome are speechless, just say that these old sly critics are not so easy to deal with!
Emperor Yuankang glanced at Xu An, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. Ha, he played too much, didn't he?
"Xu An, did you hear that? If you want the people to feel a sense of belonging to the court again and trust the court... well, it's not a matter of one day or one night."
Emperor Yuankang looked at Xu An and said, "Don't mention this matter again."
For Emperor Yuankang, it was enough for him to take advantage of Du Ruhua, who was in power in the Ministry of Revenue, and regain control of the Ministry of Revenue.
As for Xu An's desire to stir up the storm of rectifying the administration of officials, he naturally ignored it, although the fact that the people lost trust in the court made him very angry.
But he was very rational. It was not the time to rectify the administration of officials.
The ministers heard the emperor's words and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Xu An's voice came.
"Is it difficult? Haha, it seems that the officials of the court... are just butchers!"
Xu An grinned, his face full of provocation and disdain.
He pointed downstairs and said, "Is it difficult to gain the trust of the people and make them trust the court again?"
"It may be difficult for you, but it is not difficult for me."
"I can use a piece of wood to tear off the fig leaf of the court and the civil and military officials, and I can also use a wooden stake to make the people trust the court again."
Everyone raised their heads suddenly and stared at him coldly!
Xu family thief, are you done yet?
Emperor Yuan Kang narrowed his eyes suddenly, and he suddenly realized that this little bastard actually had a back-up plan.
Since there is a back-up plan, it means that what he said just now about rectifying the administration of officials is very likely not just nonsense, but there is really a countermeasure.
Countermeasures to rectify the administration of officials... Emperor Yuan Kang's breathing became a little faster, and he stared at Xu An, saying, "Oh? Tell me about it."
"If you can really use a wooden stake to make the people trust the court again, I will reward you handsomely!"
"But if you can't do it, I... will definitely punish you severely!"
