"Just speak freely, I will not punish you," the Empress squinted her eyes slightly, "I want to hear your true thoughts, you must not hide anything."
Since the words had reached this point, Chen Mo did not hold back. He drained the wine in his cup in one gulp and said in a deep voice:
"In my humble opinion, to cleanse the corrupt officials, we should cut ranks and salaries, and to sever factions, we should eliminate the Gate Valves!"
"Rather than let the decaying flesh rot beneath the brocade robe, it is better to endure the pain to cut the flesh and scrape the bones. Even if blood stains the golden stairs temporarily, it can eventually be exchanged for peace and prosperity!"
The Empress was stunned upon hearing this.
