Chapter 48 You humiliated and bullied me in the past, and now you want me to forgive you?
but!
Suddenly, Ye Chi changed the subject and said with a sharp smile: "However, there are some things that I still need to explain."
When everyone heard this, they did not hear any other meaning in Ye Chi's words, and they quickly echoed and flattered: "Please give your orders, Lord Ye, and we will cooperate with you to the fullest."
Ye Chi sneered and nodded slightly: "I have decided to dismiss Junior Minister Gongsun Mu and Junior Minister Wei Lian..."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces changed!
Those who were dismissed were all those who had been disrespectful or excluded Ye Chi in the past.
At this moment, their anger was beyond words!!
"Ye Siqing, you are using your public power to take revenge on your personal enemies!" A dismissed doctor was so angry that he couldn't help but shout.
"Although we have been disrespectful to you before, it was because of an academic dispute. Now that you are in a high position, you are so narrow-minded, which is really despicable!" Another person who was dismissed also said indignantly.
Everyone echoed, and for a moment Fengchang Temple was filled with voices of anger and dissatisfaction.
They originally thought that Ye Chi would be generous and forgive them, but they didn't expect that he would be so ruthless in purging dissidents as soon as he took office. It was really beyond their expectations!
Fusu stood aside, also with a look of surprise on his face.
Although he knew that Ye Chi was talented and resourceful, he did not expect that he would dismiss so many people so directly.
The signs of this personal vendetta are indeed too obvious, and it is easy to be targeted in the court in the future.
After all, once you offend Ye Chi, he will leave no chance for you to survive!
Ye Chi, on the other hand, looked at everyone with an indifferent expression and said calmly: "I never consider myself a gentleman and treat others with leniency. That is what fools do. You humiliated and bullied me in the past, and now you ask me to forgive you. Isn't that just wishful thinking?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the doctors' faces turned red, and they felt ashamed as if their fig leaf had been lifted.
They originally thought that Ye Chi would have some consideration for his reputation and would not humiliate them so directly, but they did not expect that he would ruthlessly expose their scars!
Seeing this, Ye Chi looked at everyone with contempt and said coldly, "I have given you enough face. I thought you would leave on your own initiative, but I didn't expect you to stay here shamelessly! In this case, don't blame me for being ruthless!!"
The doctors were filled with resentment at being humiliated by Ye Chi. They exchanged angry glances with each other, as if they wanted to cut Ye Chi into pieces with their eyes!
One of them finally couldn't stand it anymore and said with gritted teeth: "Ye Chi! You humiliated us like this, we must meet His Majesty and ask for justice!"
Ye Chi sneered upon hearing this and said disdainfully: "As you please! You guys can go and file a complaint with the emperor, and see whether His Majesty believes you or me!"
Upon hearing this, the doctors could only snort in anger and leave in anger.
However, they also knew that now that Ye Chi was in power, it would be extremely difficult for them to seek justice.
I can only slowly plot revenge for today's humiliation in the future.
Seeing this, Fusu couldn't help but step forward and said, "Mr. Ye, is this too radical? It's unwise to leave a way out for others so that we can meet again in the future. It's really unwise to cut off the other party's retreat directly."
"Although these people have made mistakes, they are still my Great Qin's ministers after all. If they are dismissed directly, it may cause unrest in the court."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chi shook his head indifferently and said, "Your Highness is wrong. It's not that I am petty-minded. These people are actually parasites of the Qin Dynasty. They must be eliminated."
"It would have been fine if these people had been disrespectful to me in the past, but they formed a clique for personal gain, excluded dissidents, deceived their superiors and subordinates, and engaged in fraud. This is truly a great harm to Fengchang Temple!!"
"Now that I am the Minister of the Temple, how can I sit back and do nothing?" "What I am doing today is for the long-term development of Fengchang Temple and for the future of Daqin."
After saying this, Ye Chi took out a scroll of bamboo slips from his sleeve and handed it to Fusu.
Fusu took the bamboo slips doubtfully, opened it and his face suddenly changed!
The handwriting on the bamboo slips was clear and the records were detailed. Every single one of them was about the evil deeds of the dismissed doctors.
They took advantage of their public office to pursue personal gain, regarded the property of Fengchang Temple as their own, embezzled money on a massive scale, and used every possible means to do so!
They deceived their superiors and subordinates, lied about their achievements to His Majesty, concealed the truth from their colleagues, and even dared to oppress the people at will, committing all kinds of evil!
Fusu looked at the bamboo slips and was shocked!
He saw a certain doctor secretly selling the precious ancient books of Fengchang Temple and enriching himself!
We also saw a certain doctor cutting corners at a grand sacrificial ceremony, using inferior materials as substitutes for good ones, and keeping the money saved for himself!
Some people even took advantage of their positions to rape women, forcing the people to lose their families...
Seeing these evil deeds made him indignant and furious! !
His hands tightly gripping the bamboo slips trembled slightly, and his heart was filled with anger and contempt for these people.
These doctors should have been the pillars of the Qin Dynasty and role models for the people. However, they were so cruel and evil that they committed all kinds of evil. It is really outrageous!
"These people... these people are so bold!" Fusu was so angry that he was shaking all over. He never expected that these doctors who usually looked righteous could be so filthy behind the scenes! !
"Mr. Ye, how did you know this?"
Ye Chi said calmly: "Your Highness, don't forget that I have worked in Fengchang Temple for many years and I know everything about what these people have done."
"It was just that I was in a low position at that time and my words were not heard, so I could not expose his evil deeds. Now that I am in a high position, I should rectify the chaos and eliminate the evil!"
Fusu suddenly realized what was going on. He looked at Ye Chi with guilt and said, "Mr. Ye is so righteous!"
"Fusu, I have had many misunderstandings before. I hope you will forgive me."
After saying this, he bowed deeply to apologize.
Ye Chi hurriedly helped Fusu up and said, "Your Highness, you are too kind. Since I have decided to assist you in your great cause, I will do my best to live up to your trust."
Fusu nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, Mr. Ye! These people are corrupt and treacherous, so they should be punished accordingly. Fusu will never ask about this matter again!!"
……
The next day, at the first light of morning, a faint paleness appeared in the sky, and the city of Xianyang began to boil like boiling water!
The sound of horse hooves was as rapid as thunder, and a figure came galloping from afar, raising a cloud of dust!
He was a courier on an urgent journey of 800 miles, riding his horse at full speed, his face filled with anxiety and tension.
He held tightly in his hand a roll of victory reports, which were news from the front line concerning the glory and destiny of the Qin Dynasty.
The postman ran all the way, shouting: "Eight hundred miles in a hurry! General Tu Sui has won a great victory!"
"General Tu Sui has won a great victory!"
His voice penetrated the morning mist and echoed in the streets and alleys of Xianyang City.
The news that Tu Sui led five armies to a great victory was like a heat wave that instantly swept across the entire imperial capital!
Upon hearing this, the people were awakened from their sleep, put on their clothes, rushed to the streets, and told each other, their faces filled with joy and pride.
