Xiao Qitian suppressed his anger and read each book one by one, throwing the memorial with more and more strength. When Qiao Tianchang heard this voice, he did not intend to continue reading.
"What are you doing?"
"Tianchang, come and take a look, what is written here?" Xiao Qitian handed the basic memorial he just read to Qiao Tianchang.
Qiao Tianchang took a look and laughed sarcastically.
"These are Taifu Li's students, so it's natural to want to help him. But if they write about these trivial things, it shows that they have no ability. They can't even handle such trivial things. In this case, it's the same for us to replace them. Of course, right? There just happen to be many people we like waiting for a seat." Qiao Tianchang threw the memorial in his hand on the table and spoke sarcastically.
Xiao Qitian's eyes lit up, yes, why didn't he think of it
"Just do it."
In the morning of the next day, Xiao Qitian began to go to court according to the usual procedure, and heard those people talking about trivial things in the court hall.
Either there was a thief somewhere, or someone's bastard kidnapped a girl and injured someone.
Chen Feng glanced at those self-righteous people with sarcasm and contempt in his eyes.
These idiots are simply giving the emperor a chance to remove them from office.
Sure enough, just as Chen Feng thought, after listening to what they said, Xiao Qitian not only didn't get angry, but even smiled and clapped his hands.
"Okay, very good. I don't know that I, the minister of the Xiao Kingdom, can't even handle such a trivial matter, and even bring it to the court to say, how can you do things well like this? Since you don't have the ability, then just abdicate and make way for someone more worthy." Xiao Qitian was not very blunt, but the feeling he brought to those people was terrifying.
Those who spoke out were all dumbfounded. No one expected that they would be dismissed from their posts because of this
"Your Majesty, this...this..."
"If you can't do what you need to do, then you should abdicate and make way for others. There are many capable people who want to come here to show their ambitions." Xiao Qitian snorted coldly and ignored their pleas for mercy.
Xiao Qitian looked down at the people below, and his face turned dark when he thought of those long series of memorials.
"There is one more thing that I need to make clear to you. From today on, if more than half of the content in the memorial is nonsense, then you should go back and learn how to write a memorial before you come back." Xiao Qitian's eyes fell on those few People who write memorials that are flashy and unrealistic.
What these people focus on is the words. As for the content, they don’t care at all.
They want to give you a whole bunch of things that can be explained clearly in two sentences. This is simply a waste of other people's time.
"Your Majesty, this... I'm afraid this is inappropriate, right?"
"Isn't it right? Mr. Lu, your memorial is still in my hands. Now let everyone listen to what you wrote." He took it out and read it again. After everyone listened, many people couldn't help it. They laughed, but due to the occasion, they did not dare to laugh too obviously. The result of the hard work of enduring laughter was that their shoulders kept shaking.
"How much did you write to me about one sentence? It's three full pages. I don't have much time to read your nonsense. Let me say it again. If I see such a memorial in the future, all of it will be given to me. Go back and learn how to come back, don't let me do it myself." Xiao Qitian said coldly.
Mr. Lu was embarrassed in front of so many people, and his face was very ugly. But the current situation is not good for him. If he really wants to say something, he will be in big trouble.
After going to court, Xiao Qitian returned to the imperial study and began his painful days of criticizing memorials.
Fortunately, his words were still useful, and the memorials the next day were not so... nonsense.
After tidying up the court, Xiao Qitian turned his attention to the school and medicine hall that Tongbaozhai was building, and finally took out a lot of money from the treasury to help.
Things are gradually getting on track. Although Xiao Qitian is very busy now, he still takes time to play with his children every day.
