Chapter 1194 Knocking

Li Chen's scolding made Xu Changqing lower his head immediately, wishing he could dig a hole and drill his entire head into it.

Li Chen glanced at the other officials and said indifferently: "You are all here to plead with mercy?"

The officials all looked tangled and embarrassed.

Even Xu Changqing was scolded, and even the prince in front of him had a temperament and they really didn't have the courage to stand up.

Seeing that no one was talking, Li Chen continued, "I see that you are all confused."

"What are the East Palace Systems spreading outside now? At the beginning, it should have been spread from you people, right?"

"Okay, you can't do the important things one by one. You can form cliques and form groups and don't need to teach them. Why? Do you want to create a second cabinet for this palace?"

Li Chen said this very harshly.

Several officials with higher prestige hurriedly kowtowed and said, "I don't dare to do it."

Li Chen yelled with a stern face and scolded: "I still know I don't dare. I will put my words here today. The court will not have any Eastern Palace faction. There was no before, but now, and there will be no future!"

"It is normal for officials to have personal relationships. After all, no one can be alone. This is a personal relationship society. I will not demand too strictly that you have no friends or colleagues. But if anyone of you has the courage to make small moves for me in private, the group of people investigated this time will be your lesson!"

Li Chen's eyes were like lightning, and his power became heavier and his voice shook down like the thunder of the nine heavens, penetrating into the deepest part of everyone's heart.

"I know that some of you have ideas in your mind. You feel that the cabinet has been demolished and three provinces and three governments have been established. You feel that your opportunity has come. Think about your previous support for our policies and feel that you have made contributions. I will turn a blind eye to let you do something."

"But today I tell you that anyone with this kind of mind should destroy my mind as soon as possible, because it is absolutely impossible!"

"In my eyes, there are only two types of officials. One is a good official who is the one who is responsible for the people and works hard for the country and the other is a fool, corrupt official, and dog official who can squander power for the sake of his own selfishness and use his power to seek personal gain!"

Standing up and walking to the officials, Li Chen's tone slowed down slightly and said, "The former official means that he does not want to be promoted or has greater power. This palace will stuff power, official positions, glory and wealth into their hands. If you hide the latter official, no matter how deep you hide it, I will have a way to find you."

"Have you heard it clearly?"

Xu Changqing was the first to respond, "Weichen heard it clearly."

The other officials looked at each other, but they really didn't have the courage to refute, so they could only shout: "I have heard it clearly."

"Just hear it clearly."

Li Chen looked at them impatiently and said, "I am not a person who is not a worldly fireworks. I know that for most officials, they do not seek merit but do not make mistakes. I also know that the salaries given to officials by the court are indeed low, so that some officials with good intentions have to do something to fill their own pockets in order to make a living."

"After all, everyone is a human being. If you have wives, children, and children, you have to support and take care of them, and then you are an official. I am not a saint, and I will not ask you to be a clean official who would rather starve to death and be honest, but even the family cannot maintain it."
