"After Mr. Li Ge read it, he circulated it around so that others can see what 'good' things my good prince has done."
The old emperor said, looking at the officials who were hesitant to speak.
He snorted coldly and said, "Let me show you what a 'good' successor you have recommended to me."
Baiguan: "..."
Just now I was deceiving the superiors and concealing the truth from the inferiors, now I am misunderstanding people.
Suddenly they felt the fear of being dominated by the old emperor.
Before this happened, two hats were slapped on my face.
The point is, even if they want to refute, the order to circulate the excerpts is issued, and no matter what they want to say, they can only say it after the excerpts have been circulated.
Although it is impossible for this document to be passed among all the officials in the palace due to their different ranks, but even if there is only a small number of people, it will take some time for them all to be passed on.
And some words are time-sensitive.
Now that the old emperor has just finished speaking, whether they are pleading guilty or arguing, they are all proving their innocence.
But if you wait until the book has been circulated before speaking, after a period of cooling, there will be some overpowering flavor.
At that time, ten points can only be regarded as three points.
And if we don't say it, then even if these two hats are not applied tightly, it will leave a small stain on their career.
Everyone wanted to tell the one sitting on the throne.
There is no need to circulate it, they all believe it, save some time and let them say what they need to say.
But once the decree has been issued, they cannot disobey it.
They could only wait silently for Li Zhengfu to read the excerpts, and then pass them on one by one according to their quality.
Then, everyone discovered that Li Zhengfu's face became very ugly after reading the excerpt.
Then, after reading the excerpt, every official who was passed on would look exactly like Li Zhengfu.
Finally, when the fold was passed around and returned to the old emperor's hands, all the officials who had seen the fold had ugly expressions on their faces.
In the corner where no one could see, Di Xin and the old emperor both showed a smile.
Plan pass.
Secretly establish an underground organization, collude with foreigners, and assassinate the prince of the dynasty.
Each of these seems to be a serious crime, but to the officials in the court, because it has little to do with them, no matter how cynical they appear, they actually have a sense of indifference in their hearts.
He deceives superiors and conceals inferiors, and he misunderstands people.
The old emperor's hat seems to be tightly buttoned, but it is just a manifestation of anger. It can make the officials feel uncomfortable for a while, but it is impossible to have any big impact on them.
The reason why the old emperor criticized them from the beginning was not just to mess with their mentality.
The real killer move is actually in the book.
Yes, after discussing with the old emperor last night, Di Xin added another paragraph at the end of the excerpt.
And in this section, the interests of the officials can be sympathetic to each other.
No, it’s not just about profit, it’s also inseparable from their wealth and lives.
The existence of the Dizihao members in Mingyue Tower was written down in the book by Di Xin and the old emperor.
Among the two major intelligence organizations in Mingyue Tower, the person in charge of the local subtitle is lurking around Dali officials, collecting information and handles, and waiting for opportunities to act.
With the current lurking scale of the members of Mingyue Tower, once they are all activated, Dali's official system will not only be paralyzed, but two-thirds of it will be abolished, making it impossible to operate in a short period of time.
In order to increase his persuasiveness, Di Xin cited two examples in the excerpt based on the contents of King Cheng's Secret Chamber.
Among the officials chosen, one was Li Zhengfu and the other was a direct descendant of Cheng Wang's faction.
Think about it, if a king like Li Zhengfu can put people in the mansion of a senior official like Li Zhengfu, the mansions of other officials will be more difficult to sneak into than the senior official's mansion.
The reasons for choosing officials who are one of the direct descendants of Cheng Wang's faction are similar.
King Cheng didn't even trust anyone so close to him, let alone other officials.
So, if there is a spy from Mingyue Tower in your mansion, you can think about it yourself!
In fact, among the hundreds of officials, there were some who were not appointed by King Cheng because they were not worthy, or because they had not had enough time, etc. for various reasons.
But this detail is not important at all.
When all the officials suspected that there was a spy from Mingyue Tower in their mansion, it was impossible for these people to be immune.
It involves one's own interests as well as the wealth and lives of the whole family.
There was also the feeling of betrayal felt by the officials of King Cheng’s faction.
Coupled with the guilt of colluding with foreigners and assassinating the current prince, etc...
After the impact of this series of information, hundreds of officials would not only no longer pursue the time when Di Xin raided Prince Cheng's Mansion last night, but might even secretly call for help.
Even if someone wants to speak for King Cheng, they will choose to remain silent under the intimidation of hundreds of officials.
Of course, the example cited in the excerpt involved the privacy of Li Zhengfu and another official. Although Di Xin had conflicts with them, they were not fatal, so he did not take the opportunity to add insult to injury.
Those two examples were matters that few people knew about, but even if they were exposed, they would have no impact on Li Zhengfu and another official.
Of course, it is precisely because of this that it is more convincing.
Thinking that even such an unimportant thing could be recorded, this shows how deeply Di Xin planted the Mingyue Tower spies in their mansion.
Anyway, after today, "general cleaning" of various official residences is inevitable.
But Di Xin didn't care about this.
Although the Mingyue Tower built by King Cheng was huge, Di Xin had no intention of taking over.
Not because of mysophobia.
But he didn't know if there were any die-hard loyalists to King Cheng in Mingyue Tower.
Being able to be loyal to King Cheng without exposing his body is a huge danger when such a person is around, and no one knows when it will come back to bite him.
And Di Xin is not lacking in such strength.
No matter how big the Mingyue Tower is, it is just an underground organization in Dali, and no organization can compare with the official organization.
Leaving Dali's well-established government system aside and taking over an underground organization that hides who knows how many people with ulterior motives would be a waste of energy. Di Xin might as well train a few more troops.
Not to mention that it would easily arouse the old emperor's jealousy and affect the alliance between the two.
The old emperor, on the other hand, plans to incorporate part of Mingyue Tower.
But he only wanted to select a few people to join his secret team, and he was not very interested in taking over the entire Mingyue Tower.
There is no shortage of such an organization in Dali.
On the contrary, if you stay, you may alienate the relationship between the royal family and the officials.
For Di Xin and the old emperor, the destroyed Mingyue Tower was the best Mingyue Tower.
Of course, the two believe that the same is true for hundreds of officials.
