As for the people from the treacherous officials 'camp, after seeing this formation, they were almost scared to death.
By now, how could they not see that Ji Hao was going to raise his knife and kill them?
More importantly, with the support of the nine princes and their supporters, Ji Hao had already gained the absolute upper hand.
Some people who were good at speculation knew what to do after seeing this situation.
If he didn't betray them now, would he wait for the butcher's knife to fall on him?
"Your Majesty, I want to report…"
For a moment, many people from the treacherous officials camp, which was already in danger, jumped out to betray them.
This caused the originally powerful treacherous court camp to instantly collapse.
Moreover, these traitors were not just ordinary people.
Perhaps it was to draw a clear line between them and the treacherous officials, or perhaps it was to redeem themselves with merit, they were completely willing to go all out.
They were originally from the treacherous officials 'camp and had more evidence than the factory guards.
In this way, they were practically biting one accurately.
Whether it was the Minister of War Gao Qiu or the Minister of Personnel Li Linfu, they had been convicted of dozens of crimes.
These dozens of crimes added together might not even be as serious as He Shen and Qin Hui's crimes.
However, after these crimes were combined, it was not a problem to take them down.
……
"Gao Qiu, Li Linfu, what else do you have to say?”
Ji Hao didn't have the mood to pay attention to the rest of the treacherous ministers.
His main focus was on Gao Qiu and Li Linfu.
The problem between these two people was actually not very serious.
If this was the Golden Age, Ji Hao wouldn't mind keeping them alive.
Gao Qiu was good at observing people's expressions and knew how to flatter and flatter.
Li Linfu had relied on his own talent to become the Minister of Personnel.
If they could keep them, it would indeed be good.
After all, to the Emperor, it was not necessarily a good thing for the court to be filled with loyal officials.
Villains also had their uses.
Unfortunately, it was a chaotic world now.
In this chaotic world, it was not a good choice to keep Gao Qiu, who lacked talent, and Li Linfu, who was jealous of talent, in high positions.
It could be said that they blocked Ji Hao's way, who wanted to do something big.
This was their greatest sin.
The evidence was conclusive, and the situation was already over. What else could they say?
"I plead guilty!"
Gao Qiu and Li Linfu smiled bitterly, indicating that they had nothing to say.
They could only pray in their hearts that Ji Hao wouldn't punish them too severely.
"Since you've confessed, you'll have to accept your punishment.”
"Seeing that you have served me all these years, I will spare your lives.”
"I'll punish you to remove your official positions, confiscate your family property, and exile your entire family.”
Gao Qiu and Li Linfu didn't do much evil, and Ji Hao wanted to kill them all.
It was better to do as little as possible to exterminate an entire clan.
He did not want to bear the reputation of a tyrant.
Hearing what Ji Hao had done to them, they didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
For people like them who were used to being in high positions, suddenly losing all their power was definitely a very uncomfortable thing.
However, it was already a blessing that he could survive.
Not only did He Shen and Qin Hui die, but they also implicated their families.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Although they were punished by Ji Hao, they still had to kowtow to thank him.
After the two of them finished speaking, they took off their official hats and let people take them away.
As a result, there were four fewer ministers in the six ministries.
This could definitely be said to be a huge change in blood.
However, Ji Hao didn't intend to stop.
Since he was going to change the royal court, he had to do it thoroughly.
Seeing that Ji Hao still wasn't satisfied after taking down four ministers, and wanted to expand the scope of his power, Cai Jing immediately became a bit anxious.
"Your Majesty, if we take down so many important officials of the Imperial Court at once, the Imperial Court will probably fall into chaos if there is no one to use.”
Cai Jing advised earnestly, obviously trying to stop the matter from expanding.
However, how could Ji Hao let him do as he wished?
"Prime Minister Cai, are you old and muddle-headed?”
"No one to use? Do you think everyone in my court is useless?”
"Three-legged toads are hard to find, but there are many two-legged people.”
"It's just a few people missing, and I can't find a replacement?”
After everything was settled, Ji Hao didn't speak so politely anymore.
He didn't even address her as his beloved minister. Instead, he addressed her as Prime Minister Cai.
Hearing Ji Hao calling him an old fool, Cai Jing couldn't help but quiver.
How could he not understand what Ji Hao was implying?
Obviously, he didn't want to stay either.
The word " old and muddle-headed " was the best hint.
For a moment, he could not help but fall silent, not knowing what to do.
After a long time of internal struggle, Cai Jing sighed.
"Your Majesty is right. This subject is old and muddle-headed.”
"I am old and my brain is not working well. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to share Your Majesty's worries.”
"Your Majesty, please allow me to retire and return to my hometown to enjoy my life.”
After saying that, his entire body felt a lot weaker.
