Cao Mengde asked worriedly, "Your Majesty, according to the information we have received, the number of officials implicated this time is very large. If all of them are really dismissed, it will inevitably cause unrest in the court, leaving many official positions vacant, and the operation of the court will be affected.
Especially now that Your Majesty is preparing to lead the army in person, and there are many other urgent matters to deal with, such as the procurement of grain from Wei, if too many officials are dismissed at this time, will it affect the normal operation of these matters? "

What they did is simply giving me an opportunity to establish my authority in the hearts of the people, or in other words, among the five college students in Wei, and it is also an opportunity for me to gain a lot of people's hearts.

This will not only select truly talented individuals, but will also allow the people to see the justice and resolve of the court, and will also give more students hope and inspire their ambition."
