Dai Xu had already replaced all the people in the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs who could be replaced by his own people. This assistant minister was one of the few officials who did not want to be associated with him. That was why this happened.
"Corruption?" Shi Sheng rubbed his chin with his fingertips. "Then exile him."
The traitorous officials were slightly surprised. This case had been put on hold for a long time. Even if the royalists stopped them, this was their last person in the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs. If Dai Xu got rid of him, the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs would be under Dai Xu's control.
Now, Her Majesty agreed so easily …
Before they could figure out what was going on, the Empress said faintly, "Those above the assistant minister of the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs will be punished together and exiled together."
What?
They must have been hallucinating.
Did Her Majesty say those above the assistant minister would be exiled together?
"Your Majesty!" Dai Xu finally spoke. His majestic voice was oppressive. "This is against the rules and the law. There has never been a case where one person made a mistake and the others were punished together."
"There is now."
You want to scare I with this little bit of power?
When I was scaring people, you were still playing in the mud!
Idiot!
Dai Xu's eyebrows twitched. He suppressed the strange feeling in his heart. "Your Majesty, don't be unreasonable. You're shaking the foundation of the country."
"You're going to rebel anyway. I don't care if you're shaken." Shi Sheng waved his hand and said casually, "Why don't you rebel now?"
Dai Xu: "…"
The group of officials: "…"
Her Majesty must be crazy.
She actually instigated them to rebel.
Dai Xu narrowed his eyes. Those above the assistant minister of the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs were basically his people now. Her intention of being punished together was obvious …
"Your Majesty, do you need a reason to be punished?"
Shi Sheng tilted his head and thought for a while. He came up with a reason on the spot. "Can't you condone the corruption of your subordinates?"
Pfft —
Someone, drag the Empress out and behead her.
The Empress was a little muddle-headed in the past, but at least she was not so unreasonable and unreasonable.
She must be crazy!!!
Dai Xu suppressed his anger and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, your reason is too far-fetched. The officials of the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs have their own duties. How can the officials above be punished for the corruption of their subordinates?"
"Then I'll change to another one. Can't I just not like them?"
The group of ministers: "…" This was worse than the previous one.
"Your Majesty, this is not child's play." Dai Xu's eyes were cold.
"Prime Minister, you still know that this is not child's play?" Shi Sheng sneered.
"Of course, I know." Dai Xu straightened his back and answered firmly.
Shi Sheng laughed sinisterly and said, "Then let's play something exciting."
Dai Xu: "???" Why did the topic change so quickly?
Shi Sheng stretched out his finger and said, "I'll give you two choices. First, release the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and reinstate him. Second, tell the assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel to scram with your men. You choose. "
Dai Xu: "…"
Shi Sheng raised his third finger. "There's a third option. Rebel now."
[…] Host, are you crazy? Why do you keep encouraging her to rebel?
Shi Sheng despised him from the bottom of his heart. I told you to study more, but you refused. That's why you're so stupid.
[…] Then tell me why you encouraged her to rebel!!
Shi Sheng snorted coldly. You're so bored.
[…] Crazy.
"Your Majesty, I have no intention of rebelling." Dai Xu bowed.
"Then you only have two choices. Protect your people, or release my people?"
Dai Xu's eyes flashed. "Your Majesty, please allow me to remind you that you don't have many men you can use now."
Oh, oh, oh, how dare you threaten I.
Oh no!
Where's I's sword?
"Are you not human?" Shi Sheng looked at Dai Xu with a half-smile. "If you're not useful to me even though you're the Prime Minister, then I think I can abolish your position. What do you think, Prime Minister Dai?"
"Your Majesty!"
"What? Do you want to kill me? What a coincidence. I want to kill you too. Why don't we have a fight? "Shi Sheng lifted his dragon robe and said," Let's see if you'll kill me or I'll kill you. "
His words were so direct that it was clear he was going to shed all pretense of cordiality. The ministers trembled in fear. They felt that His Majesty was courting death.
Dai Xu was speechless.
The treacherous Prime Minister Dai and the Empress confronted each other outside the throne room. In the end, the Empress won because she was shameless and unafraid of death.
It was the first time Dai Xu felt so aggrieved.
When he returned to his residence, he looked constipated. No one in the residence dared to talk to him.
Only Dai Xu's accomplices dared to ask a question.
"Prime Minister, has Her Majesty lost her mind? She dares to confront you like this. She only has the Imperial Guards left. Why don't we go all the way … "
The treacherous ministers made a gesture to silence him.
Now that the power of Feng Luan was in their hands, forcing the Empress to abdicate was just a matter of saying a word. They couldn't understand why the Prime Minister didn't do anything.
"It's not as simple as you think." Dai Xu muttered. "The Imperial Guards are not easy to deal with."
"There are only so many Imperial Guards. We have so many people. What's there to be afraid of?"
Dai Xu scolded coldly, "The Imperial Guards are all carefully selected. They are completely different from ordinary soldiers. Don't you have this bit of common sense?"
The others looked at each other. Of course, they knew that the Imperial Guards were all experts, but there weren't many of them. They could use the human wave tactic to exhaust the Imperial Guards.
"Since she has already shed all pretense of cordiality with us, then we don't have to hide it anymore. Prime Minister, let's go against her!"
"That's right, Prime Minister. Look at her now. What's the difference between her and a madman? I think she's at the end of her rope."
"Enough!" Dai Xu berated, his eyes cold, "I have my own arrangements for this matter. Have you found out what I asked you to investigate?"
"Prime Minister …"
Dai Xu glared at him coldly, causing the man's neck to shrink as he replied in a low voice, "I didn't find out. Our people said that they didn't make a move. I wonder if it's King Yu's people …"
The Empress's inexplicable death had nothing to do with them.
Of course, they were already prepared, but before they could make a move, someone had already done it.
"The most suspicious person is King Yu. I've already sent people to keep an eye on King Yu. If there's any news, I'll immediately send it back."
"Without my orders, you are not allowed to act rashly."
"…" Yes. "
… ….
Imperial Study.
Shi Sheng paced back and forth. The royalists who were waiting at the side all looked like they wanted to say something but didn't dare to.
"What do you think that idiot Dai Xu is afraid of?" Shi Sheng suddenly turned his head and asked the group of royalists.
"… Why does Your Majesty say that?" The royalists who didn't know the truth.
Shi Sheng looked at them with disdain.
The royalists were also innocent when they received the disdain from their Majesty. Why did His Majesty despise them so much?
What else did the original owner have that Dai Xu was afraid of?
Jade Seal?
If King Yu could get that thing before, then Dai Xu would definitely be able to get it if he wanted it.
If it wasn't the Jade Seal, then what would it be?
