For someone like Yan Song, who was not clean to begin with, it was still fine if no one dared to touch him when he was in power and had great influence.
But now, his power had been destroyed, and Ji Hao, as the emperor, was obviously trying to mess with him. How could he survive?
Under everyone's comments, Yan Song was soon accused of bribing officials, forming cliques for personal gain, buying favors to make guests, being jealous of talents, secretly controlling remonstrants, and harming politics.
Moreover, the evidence was conclusive, and no one could refute it.
"Yan Song, what else do you have to say?”
After the others listed Yan Song's crimes, Ji Hao looked at him and said blandly.
After confirming that Ji Hao wanted to mess with him, what else could Yan Song say?
Now, Ji Hao was already in power, not to mention that he was guilty.
Even if he wasn't guilty, if he wanted to kill him, he could do so with just a word.
"I have failed the Emperor."
Yan Song sighed deeply and said this sentence.
At the same time, he also deeply understood what it meant to accompany the king like accompanying a tiger.
If the tiger was asleep, it would be fine.
When he woke up, he was going to eat people.
However, due to his carelessness, he had lost his vigilance and respect.
As a result, the current outcome would appear.
Seeing Yan Song like this, Ji Hao had nothing to say.
"Men, take him away and hand him over to the Ministry of Justice for detailed interrogation.”
After saying that, Ji Hao's heart was completely relaxed.
He had planned for so long, and this big show had finally come to a perfect end.
……
After Yan Song was dragged away, five important seats were vacated in the court.
In such a short period of time, such a major change had occurred, causing everyone in the imperial court to feel very depressed.
They did not even dare to breathe loudly.
At the same time, they stole a glance at Ji Hao, then at Cai Jing.
They wanted to see if Ji Hao's next target would be Cai Jing.
Fortunately, Ji Hao, who had regained the power of the court, didn't lose his mind because of the victory.
Cai Jing was the same as Yan Song. They were not clean to begin with.
If Ji Hao wanted to take him down now, it wouldn't be difficult at all.
However, he did not do so.
Firstly, Cai Jing was very sensible and took the initiative to propose retirement.
He was no longer a threat to Ji Hao.
Secondly, who knew how many people in the royal court had had dealings with them before.
If he showed a completely ruthless attitude, the people would definitely be shaken and the imperial court would be in chaos.
Therefore, he needed to temporarily keep Cai Jing to calm the people.
As long as he passed through this most difficult period, he could slowly change his blood.
He would get rid of those incompetent and corrupt people in the court one by one.
Leaving Cai Jing behind could give those people a glimmer of hope, so that they would not take the risk.
Therefore, Ji Hao was clear-headed. After capturing Yan Song, he didn't attack Cai Jing again.
……
"I didn't expect so many pests to appear in the Imperial Court. This is my fault.”
"Fortunately, these pests have also received their rightful fate. I hope that everyone will learn from this in the future.”
Hearing Ji Hao's words, many people let out a sigh of relief.
They had also sensed that Ji Hao didn't intend to expand the scale anymore.
They could finally let go of the tension in their hearts.
"Your Majesty, this is their selfishness. What does it have to do with Your Majesty?”
"That's right. They deceived the emperor and deceived His Majesty. It's our fault for not reporting to His Majesty in time.”
"The fact that Your Majesty was able to bring these pests to justice shows that Your Majesty is wise. Your Majesty, you don't have to blame yourself.”
“……”
After letting out a sigh of relief, they certainly couldn't let Ji Hao bear the blame.
In this world, anyone could be wrong, but the emperor could not be wrong.
All of them started to help Ji Hao.
After all they had said, they could only sum it up in one sentence. The one at fault was someone else, not His Majesty the Emperor.
Ji Hao just listened to them blandly, without saying anything.
After they finished speaking, he said something that made the hearts of the officials rise again.
"As the saying goes, a snake can't do without a head. The six tribes are important and are related to the safety of the world.”
"The four vacant positions of Minister need to be filled as soon as possible. Do you have any suggestions?”
Hearing Ji Hao's words, the hearts of many people instantly burned.
This was the position of minister, an absolutely high position with great power.
If there was a chance, who wouldn't want to sit?
However, when they thought of the two exterminated and exiled ministers, the fire in their hearts instantly cooled down.
Who knew if Ji Hao already had his own thoughts?
Right now, they didn't dare to fight with Ji Hao anymore.
Finally, after exchanging a few glances, they said in unison,""Your Majesty, please judge!"
