As soon as these words came out, the officials' expressions changed.
Especially those ministers who had joined the Liufa Heavenly Palace, their faces all turned pale.
After Li Tianmin finished speaking, he looked at these ministers indifferently.
The hall fell silent. .??.
Ministers, you look at me and I look at him.
After waiting for a long time, no one came forward.
Li Tianmin chuckled.
"Isn't it possible that none of you have joined the Liufa Heavenly Palace?"
Still no one spoke.
Even more so, no one took the initiative to stand up.
Li Tianmin's face darkened.
A wave of his hand.
A scroll appeared in his hand.
"In this scroll, there are many names of people who secretly joined the Liufa Heavenly Palace."
The officials were shocked.
Li Tianmin actually got the list?
Qi Tianmiao on the side was originally calm, but now he was shocked when he saw the roster in Li Tianmin's hand.
"Is it possible that every move I make is seen by His Majesty?"
He couldn't help but guess so.
If that were the case, it would be terrible.
"Now, I ask you again, has anyone joined Liufa Tiangong?"
"If so, if you stand up now, I will give you a lighter sentence."
"If you persist in your stubbornness, when I read your name, you will be severely punished!"
Li Tianmin's tone became extremely harsh.
The murderous intent in his eyes was undisguised.
Moreover, a group of palace guards appeared outside the main hall at some unknown time.
Everyone is brave and strong.
It seemed that as long as Li Tianmin gave an order, these guards would rush into the hall and kill at will.
Such a battle really frightened these ministers.
Taking the initiative to stand up can lead to a lighter punishment.
If he waited for Li Tianmin to read out the name on the booklet, he would probably be dead.
What else can be done?
All I can do is stand up and admit it.
"Your Majesty, this humble minister is guilty!"
A minister stood up tremblingly and knelt in front of Li Tianmin.<
br>
"Very good, I have one."
Li Tianmin looked at the others.
"Your Majesty, this humble minister is guilty!"
"Your Majesty, I am aware of my guilt!"
"His Majesty"
One after another, ministers stood up and knelt in front of Li Tianmin.
Each one of them begged for mercy and confessed.
I just hope that Li Tianmin can be lenient to them.
Soon, sixteen ministers were kneeling in front of Li Tianmin.
Among them, the one with the highest official position is the Minister of the Ministry of War!
Sixteen ministers knelt there and kowtowed to Li Tianmin.
All of them were trembling because of fear.
Li Tianmin didn't look at them.
Instead, he glanced at the other ministers.
"Do you really think it's gone?"
The ministers were silent.
"I'll ask one last time, is there any more?"
Plop! Plop!
Two more ministers couldn't stand it any longer.
Come immediately and kneel down to beg for mercy.
Eighteen!
Li Tianmin nodded with satisfaction.
"very good."
Then, in front of the ministers, he slowly opened the scroll in his hand.
But he threw it on the ground again.
Everyone looked at it and immediately turned pale with shock.
This scroll is actually blank.
Don't say the name, not even a word.
At this moment, the expressions of everyone present changed.
Got fooled!
Li Tianmin deliberately used this move to fool everyone.
Especially the two people who stood up last just now felt so regretful in their hearts.
If I had known this was the case, wouldn't it be okay if I just persisted a little longer?
it's good now.
Because I was too scared, I ended up getting scammed.
Li Tianmin's eyes finally fell on these eighteen ministers.
"My subjects can only be loyal to me."
"But you have secretly worshiped under the sect of Liufa Heavenly Palace. Do you all want to become a monk?"
Qi Tianmiao quickly stood up.
"Your Majesty, the ministers just hope to learn more about Buddhism. Their allegiance is still to Your Majesty."
"National Preceptor, I don't think I asked you to speak, right?"
Li Tianmin glanced sideways at Qi Tianmiao.
"this" .??.
Qi Tianmiao was suddenly speechless.
