Chapter 216
"It's much better to talk about war on paper than an incompetent and immoral person in a position to dawdle."

Rong Xuesheng mercilessly pierced through the small thoughts of the Minister of the Household Department, and really thought he didn't know the reason why this person objected so much?

Where is there any violation of the rules, it is simply to top his own people, so that he can get more oil and water in the future.

Hubu Shangshu's face changed when he was stunned by this sentence, and he was a little guilty. Why did the prime minister say that? Could it be that he knew something?
But after thinking about it, he regained his composure. Even if he knew, so what, the promotion of his nephew followed the procedure completely. As long as he couldn't find the fault, the prime minister couldn't punish him.

Thinking of this, he gained the confidence to refute again boldly.

"The prime minister's words are unreasonable. The promotion of this official has always been strictly reviewed in accordance with the rules. After the final selection of the candidate, the emperor has to decide."

"Could it be that the prime minister thinks that the sage is ignorant of people's abilities, and will let people with no virtue and incompetence come to power?"

Carried away for a moment, Hubu Shangshu actually forgot that the person in the seat now is not the puppet who could be easily manipulated without saying a word.

As a result, a king's coercion suddenly hit him, "Presumptuous, above the court, what should be said and what should not be said, don't You Aiqing know?"

Facing the substantive and awe-inspiring gaze, Hubu Shangshu was instantly frightened so that his legs became weak, and he knelt down with a plop, "I made a mistake, the Holy King forgives my sin."

At this time, Shangshu Hubu didn't dare to say anything anymore, the current Shengjun is really too scary, obviously not long ago, the other party was still a puppet they let them squeeze round and flatten, isn't it?
Bei Xuanyu didn't care what the Minister of the Household Department was slandering in his heart, and when he saw that the other party stopped talking and other officials were also silent, he made a final decision.

"The number one scholar in the Jinjin Section is the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and it must be played."

As soon as the king said it, the matter was settled, and no one dared to speak again.

Afterwards, all the officials subconsciously skipped this topic, and someone started to play again.

"My lord, I have a copy of the book. I have a record of corruption and bribery by officials at all levels over the years. Please have a look at it."

After the words fell, the eyes of many officials focused again. Of course, more attention was paid to the so-called ledger itself.

All the officials stared at the ledger, wanting to be the first to know whose name was on it, but no matter how they looked at it, they couldn't see a single flower.

And he could only watch helplessly as the ledger was presented to the king.

No way, it is impossible for them to snatch the account book from the Holy King, so they can only silently pray in their hearts that the contents of the account book will not have anything to do with themselves.

Bei Xuanyu probably flipped through a few pages, but didn't go back. He already knew the officials in it by heart.

Passed the account book to the eunuch at the side expressionlessly, and then said in a flat voice, "When the first sage was in power, there was a saying that the king of a country is like a boat, and the people of Li are like water, and water can carry a boat. Can capsize a boat."

"Thus, if a country wants to continue to develop and grow stronger, and if the king of a country does not want to be reviled and stunned by future generations, then he must love the people. Only when the people live in prosperity can the country be peaceful and the people safe."

"But what did you do? Not only squeezed the people's blood and sweat everywhere, just for your own extravagant life, but also didn't treat the people as human beings, disregarding human lives at will..."

"What? You think that I used to be cowardly and ungrateful, so I have nothing to fear, don't you?"

What he said was obviously in a neutral tone, but it made more than half of the officials below turn pale and sweat.

After all, most of the people present have been in the officialdom for many years, and whoever is not a human being can tell that Shengjun is using the words of the previous Shengjun to beat some people.
