"As court officials, you actually formed a clique and used the name of remonstrance to influence my decisions. What's the use of keeping you? Your official positions have all been dismissed and will never be used again!”
Zhao Zhen spoke coldly and made his verdict.
It made the kneeling officials feel despair and regret.
Studying hard at a cold window was basically for the sake of being an official.
But because of this, he angered the emperor.
Not only would he lose his future, he would never be used again.
To them, the punishment was heavy.
It was no different from a bolt from the blue and falling into the abyss forever!
While the others were shocked, they were also confused.
The current Emperor was a completely different person from before.
His bearing and style of doing things were completely different!
If he didn't see through everything, the emperor would still be the emperor.
They would probably suspect that the emperor had changed.
"Long live, you can't do this to prevent blocking the way of speech!”
A moment later, Bao Zheng bowed and spoke in fear.
Prime Minister Wang also added," His Majesty has always been kind. If he were to suddenly become furious and issue such a heavy punishment, it is very likely to cause turmoil in the court. I hope that Wansui will take back his order!"
"Long live, although the Grand Preceptor and the others 'actions were inappropriate, it wasn't as serious as what Long live said.”
The Eight Virtuous Kings came forward and saluted.
The others also voiced their opinions.
The rhythm of intercession was very obvious. Although there was no lack of selfish motives, it was also the truth.
One had to know that the current dynasty emphasized literature and suppressed martial arts. The rulers of several generations had adopted a policy of appeasement.
When Taizu founded the country, he even shouted the slogan of not punishing a husband.
There were also hereditary and non-hereditary Lord systems.
Grand Preceptor Pang loved Concubine Pang because of the previous Renzong. It could be said that the emperor was favored.
After Zhao Zhen transmigrated to the Cheng Ren Sect, the first thing he did was banish Concubine Pang into the Cold Palace.
This was only a matter of the back palace. It was considered the Emperor's family matter and was nothing much.
However, Senior Grand Preceptor Pang, who was favored by the Saint of Punishment, would alert many of the important officials and easily cause them to counterattack.
Therefore, loyal people like Bao Zheng, Prime Minister Wang, and the Eight Virtuous Kings would definitely advise them to prevent trouble from arising.
Those with selfish motives would definitely agree, hoping that the Emperor would retract his orders.
"Ever since I ascended the throne, I have been constantly reflecting on my actions.
Although his previous kindness had brought peace to the court and the praise of the officials, it did not benefit the country.
He even got people like Grand Preceptor Pang to win over the hearts of the people and form cliques to control me.
Therefore, for the sake of the country's stability and strength, my decision will never change!”
Zhao Zhen spoke in a solemn voice, his words decisive.
Not only was he domineering, but he was also absolutely unquestionable!
It was actually the deterrence formed by Zhao Zhen's deterrence value.
Although it wasn't to the extent of crushing them, it still shut up the people who were pleading for mercy.
After all, what he said was not without reason, and he had also pulled out a reason to consolidate and strengthen the country.
If he continued to plead for mercy, he would be dragging them down and not want the Song family to consolidate and become stronger.
The loyal officials of the Imperial Court were secretly delighted!
"Men, record down these Grand Preceptor's cliques to prevent them from having a chance to enter the official career again in the future!”
After giving the order coldly, Chen Lin respectfully stepped forward and began to record.
"Ding! Congratulations to host for obtaining the reward of the Minor Non-Phase Method!”
Just as Chen Lin was recording the situation of the kneeling official, a system notification sounded in Zhao Zhen's mind.
As soon as the reminder sounded, a wisp of consciousness surged in and transformed into information.
It was the mantra and chant of the Minor Non-Phase Method.
Zhao Zhen was not surprised that he had suddenly triggered the system's reward.
After all, because of Bao Zheng killing Pang Yu, the deterrence value of the people's submission had been continuously increasing.
Now that he had punished Senior Grand Tutor Pang and his disciple, there would definitely be a reward of deterrence points.
When this matter was spread out, it would cause a chain reaction and gain even more deterrence value.
What made Zhao Zhen somewhat surprised was that he actually obtained the Minor Non-Phase Method.
It seemed that this was not only Bao Qingtian's world, but also the world of the Eight Heavenly Dragons!
It was even possible for it to overlap with other worlds, forming a comprehensive world that was different from history.
Because Minor Non-Phase Method was powerful, it was invisible and untraceable.
He could imitate other people's ultimate techniques and even surpass them.
It was indeed the same as the inner art of the same name in the Carefree Sect of the Heavenly Dragon Eight!
Unfortunately, although Song Renzong was the emperor, he lived deep in the palace.
Even though he had inherited his memories, he did not know much about the current world.
After Chen Lin finished recording the situation of the officials who were about to remonstrate, Zhao Zhen dismissed them.
Only Bao Zheng, Leng Gudu, Prime Minister Wang, and the Eight Virtuous Kings remained.
At the same time, they also sent officials to follow Grand Preceptor Pang.
Go and confiscate his property and get back the death-exemption token!
Leng Gudu and Bao Zheng were 100% loyal to Zhao Zhen.
The loyalty of the Eight Virtuous Kings was also as high as 90%.
Prime Minister Wang preferred to smooth things over. His loyalty was only 70%.
However, he was also one of the most outstanding officials in the past.
But whether it was the Eight Virtuous Kings or Prime Minister Wang, they both had good reputation in the court and in the field.
Therefore, Zhao Zhen wanted to increase their loyalty to 100%.
In this way, they would be able to belong to him and become his free labor.
It could continuously help him obtain deterrence value!
