For a moment, the whole cell was in boundless silence.
Suddenly, Yuan Zhongbai laughed. The people looked at him with doubts. They saw him wipe two tears from the corners of his eyes and sighed, "what they said was why they took the imperial examination and why they wanted to be an official in the dynasty? I don't know now. It's ridiculous!"
Murong Leng heard this, but he didn't want to go in and face these people.
At that time, he was hot headed and angry. He didn't want to deal with the remaining problems left by Murong Shen.
Only then did he put all these old ministers in prison.
As for the crimes committed, there are some, but not everyone has them, and they are not fatal crimes.
If this is put in peacetime, basically it means that the salary will be finished. It will never be locked up in a prison for two months.
Murong Leng was disappointed about this.
Unfortunately, when he was leaving, Huafeng saw him.
"Chen Huafeng, see your majesty. Long live my king."
Hua Feng knelt down and saluted.
His white clothes were dirty, his face was no longer white, and his hair was oily. He was really embarrassed, but his character and dusty temperament could not be covered up and still could not be ignored.
The ministers were stunned at first, then knelt down and saluted one after another, with a respectful attitude. The edges and corners of their bodies seemed to have been smoothed.
Just a closer look, it is not difficult to see that these officials seem to be different from two months ago.
As for the difference, um, Murong Leng couldn't see anything except dirt, but felt a little different.
"Colleagues, your majesty came to see you in his busy schedule. If you have anything to say, please say it quickly."
Gu Yu saw that the crowd was just saluting, so he had nothing to say. At the moment, he was in a hurry to say something.
It's just that these people are no longer interested in officialdom, so they really have nothing to say.
After all, even if you succeed, you just go back and continue to be an official with seemingly unlimited scenery.
Murong Leng, who was originally a little unhappy, forgot to be angry and turned to surprise when he saw that the people were still kneeling there without saying a word.
He looked at these people in amazement and asked curiously, "do you really have nothing to say to me?"
He felt that if they were right, they could be forgiven.
Then let them go to each other.
In this way, the imperial court will not be chaotic.
Unfortunately, for such a simple reason, he seemed to be confused by something before. He couldn't understand it.
At this time, he had forgotten the reason why he didn't want to use them at that time, just because he was afraid that there were other brothers among them, such as Murong Shen and Murong Yu.
Now I see that they all have a plain face and seem to have no sorrow or joy. Unexpectedly, I began to feel that I was a little superfluous at the beginning.
Sure enough, people's mentality has a great impact on their way of doing things.
Murong waited for a long time, but the ministers still didn't say anything.
So he began to call the roll.
"Hua Shoufu, are you really willing to stay here and not go back?"
Hua Feng, who was already kneeling, saluted again, "when you return to your majesty, you are naturally willing to go back. After all, your sinless body does not match the prison."
"Then why didn't you speak when I just asked?" Murong said in a deep voice with cold eyes.
"Your Majesty, what you just asked me was' what can I say? 'I'm innocent. Naturally, I have nothing to say."
Huafeng said calmly and humbly, "as for whether to forgive or not, it only needs your Majesty's word. The so-called king wants his minister to die, and his minister has to die."
Then he put his forehead on the back of his hands and said firmly, "so I have nothing to say."
This is really a talented man full of pride. I only heard his name before. Now when I see it, I finally understand that the rumors are also credible.
Murong Leng quietly took his eyes away from Huafeng and fell on Yuan Zhongbai behind him. "So does the original Shangshu think?"
He remembered that the former Zhongbai was Murong Shen's man and had always been tossing about very much.
Yuan Zhongbai was not surprised. He just got up and took a step forward. He knelt to the side of Huafeng and whispered, "I can't compare myself with Hua Shoufu. I'm guilty. I know I can't pass this pass. As Shoufu said, my life and death are in the hands of your majesty. I'm no different whether I say it or not."
His guilt is not great.
It was the kind of crime that Murong Leng had once in his heart that could pass only by punishing salary.
Originally, he was confident that he would not dismount, and that's why.
Of course, the idea was before he was locked in.
Now he can't think of anything.
All he could think of was to hope that the new emperor would let go of his family.
"You surprised me."
Murong Lengmei took the lead and asked several people. The answers were mostly the same.
This made him even more surprised.
He didn't think that if he was closed for two months, he would turn bad officials into good officials?
"Well, don't pretend to be pathetic here. I know you're all innocent. I'll let Gu Yu let you out later."
Murong Leng's voice is still light and cold, and his eyes still haven't changed.
It just made his tone softer than just now.
After hearing his words, Huafeng was relieved and finally succeeded. He didn't waste two months brainwashing these people.
Yes, in these two months, Huafeng brainwashed these people as soon as he was free.
Let them calm down, put down the so-called "face" gently, and then pick up the lost integrity again.
Yuan Zhongbai, who are also scholars, always have the character of a talented person.
In the past, I threw it away a little for power, profit and potential.
Now he helped them get it back little by little.
In fact, he was very glad that Murong Leng had forgotten them for such a long time.
Otherwise, his brainwashing may not succeed.
But Murong Leng probably won't know this.
Because the garrison here had been cleaned by Ding Hao of Yueyao Pavilion long before they were locked in.
They turned their northern cell into an iron bucket.
What can spread out can only be what they are willing to be known by the top.
As for what you don't want to be known, you don't want to be known at all.
"Why don't you thank them?" Murong Leng said to let them go back, but they still didn't ring, which made him wonder again, so he asked again, "or do you really don't want to restore your original position?"
The people looked at each other and said one after another.
"I've been here for a long time. I think it's a dream."
"Chen was just too shocked, so he forgot to react for a moment."
"Seeing that they didn't move, I thought they heard wrong."
There is everything to say at a time, but the only constant is the hardships in the words.
Hua Feng, alone, gave a cold salute to Murong. His voice was gentle and indifferent, "thank you, your majesty, for your kindness."
However, he got up and made a big gift with a very firm attitude, "I beg your leave and hope your Majesty's permission."
