What it means is: Just add some more fuel and you will be done soon.
The Minister of Revenue and the Minister of War immediately knelt down and crawled onto the steps, shouting that Master Jiang was innocent, while stretching out their hands and hugging Xia Zhengqi's feet tightly.
Xia Zhengqi showed an embarrassed expression and said hesitantly: "You...you...don't do this!"
But he just kept repeating this sentence over and over again and refused to agree to the request of Jiang's followers.
Immediately afterwards, the other ministers who had knelt down to beg for mercy quickly came to Xia Zhengqi, crawling and kneeling, some pulling his sleeves, some pulling his robes.
For a moment, Xia Zhengqi was surrounded by these ministers and could not move.
[Woqu, what are you doing? Are you the monkeys of Mount Emei?]
Xia Miaoyuan widened his eyes in shock.
[Emperor Daddy, what are you waiting for?!]
"Someone come! Protect the emperor!" Xia Zhengqi suddenly shouted at the top of his voice.
The deep and powerful voice echoed in the hall.
The group of ministers who were pleading for mercy suddenly stopped crying, as they were all shocked by Xia Zhengqi's actions.
If it were usual, Xia Zhengqi would have given in long ago if they had made such a fuss. What happened today?
Hulala!
More than twenty imperial guards in armor and holding swords ran into the hall, quickly handcuffed the hands of the ministers who were begging for mercy, and held them down.
"You bold lunatics, how dare you take this opportunity to murder me!" Xia Zhengqi's eyes were ferocious.
As soon as Xia Zhengqi said this, all the ministers in the hall were stunned with their eyes and mouths wide open, showing expressions of extreme astonishment.

Is pulling the robe and tugging the sleeves considered as murdering the emperor?

"Your Majesty, I didn't do it!" the Minister of Revenue shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Your Majesty, I have no intention of murdering you!" Jiang Zhishan cried.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty!" Censor Zhang was so frightened by this sudden situation that he wet his pants.
Xia Zhengqi gave Eunuch Debao a look, and Eunuch Debao immediately ordered the guards to stuff their mouths with handkerchiefs.
"Take them, along with Grand Tutor Jiang, Young Lord Jiang, and Sun Chaogui, and bring them to the Dali Temple. Hand them over to the Dali Temple Chief Justice for strict interrogation!"
"Yes, I obey your command!" replied Wang Deguang, the Minister of the Dali Temple.
When Xia Miaoyuan heard the words of Wang Deguang, the Minister of Dali Temple, he shuddered all over.
[Emperor, you can't let the Supreme Court judge try them. The Supreme Court judge is also under Grand Tutor Jiang's command!]
My third uncle worked with him at the Dali Temple and refused to go along with him, but he put him under a lot of pressure.
