What?

The corners of the mouths of all the ministers present twitched slightly.

Just said the wrong word, and you have to raid your home?

That's too ruthless, isn't it?

And he was charged with collaborating with the enemy, which ......

Yuwen Qianyang was also taken aback by Tang Xiao's words, and then said tentatively: "Aiqing, Li Shoufu is an old minister, and he has made a lot of contributions to our Northern Zhou, he is just afraid that it is impossible to cooperate with the enemy, right?"

He obviously values Tang Xiao more, and he doesn't value Li Shoufu very much.

However, as the emperor, he still has to take care of the face of the ministers.

Li Shoufu is an old minister, he has been fighting the world since his father's generation, and he is strictly a generation older than his father, and he doesn't dare to move him easily.

This is not a question of guts, but a question of the civil and military face and life and death of the Manchu Dynasty.

If such old ministers also want to move, won't everyone be in danger?

But for Tang Xiao, he can't deny it too directly.

can only say such words and give Tang Xiao a step down.

Tang Xiao didn't talk nonsense, and said: "Your Majesty, although you go to the house to verify, if it is confirmed that Li Shoufu did not collaborate with the enemy, the minister will naturally apologize to Li Shoufu." ”

Tang Xiao said this without the slightest hesitation.

This is a means and vision of him as an emperor.

There are only two possibilities for a minister who can speak for the enemy in the main hall.

The first is that they are worried that the enemy is too strong, and the strength of their country is not enough, and they can't beat others, in this case, they will generally tell the emperor directly.

And Li Shoufu obviously didn't do this, which is a bit intriguing.

In this case, there is no need to think about it, and there is basically only one possibility left, that is, collaborating with the enemy.

There won't be any suspense.

That Li Shoufu was slapped by Tang Xiao, was seriously injured and embarrassed, and was scolding Tang Xiao, when he heard Tang Xiao's words, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he couldn't care about the embarrassment, he got up and said: "Your Majesty! Don't listen to the words of this Yan Huangyi! The old minister has followed the emperor for many years, when did he have two hearts!"

"What are you anxious about? I've said it, if there is no evidence of your collaboration with the enemy, I will definitely apologize to you, and you can do whatever you want. Tang Xiao smiled faintly.

Li Shoufu said to this Yuwen Qianyang: "The family matter is small, but the loss of face is big, if Your Majesty does this, won't it chill the hearts of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military?"

He was really in a hurry.

The reason is very simple, he does have a correspondence with the Dajin royal family.

However, he can be sure that he is not treasonous, he is just doing some business with the people of the Great Jin Palace.

Well, not the kind of buying and selling in the traditional sense.

It's the kind of unsavory business that is not good for Northern Zhou, but good for him.

It's just that for the Northern Zhou, there is not much damage, and he feels that with his credit to the Northern Zhou, these should not be considered treason.

But having said that, he didn't destroy these letters, but kept them as transaction credentials, if they were searched by Yuwen Qianyang, then the crime of collaborating with the enemy would be really hammered.

As an important minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, it was a taboo to have private correspondence with the royal family of the enemy country.

When the time comes, he will have to lose his life.

That's why he's going to be so excited.

It doesn't matter if he dies with an old bone, but not his descendants.

He did not hesitate to betray some interests of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to seek some benefits for himself, for the sake of his grandson.

A gentleman who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it.

He knew that if he couldn't advance to the Sage Realm, he shouldn't be able to live for a few years, because he had been injured a lot in his early years, and most of them were serious.

He is now seeking benefits for his grandson, just so that after his death, his grandson can have a good life.

He thinks it's human nature.

But human affection is inherently in conflict with the law.

These things must not be known to Yuwen Qianyang, otherwise it will definitely be a capital crime! This has nothing to do with the fact that he is a veteran minister for several generations.

Yuwen Qianyang saw that Li Shoufu reacted so much, and he was also a little hesitant.

There are important ministers on both sides, although he values Tang Xiao more, but he can't help but take care of the hearts of the ministers of the court.

It's a very confusing thing.

The ministers of the court, you look at me, I look at you, no one moves.

If it was usual, if Li Shoufu was targeted like this, they would definitely come out and say something.

After all, Li Shoufu has a high position and an extraordinary status, and many people in the DPRK and China are still cultivated by him.

However, this kindness was not enough for them to stand up and face the existence of a saint realm.

They can see that this Yan Huangyi is really not afraid of anyone except His Majesty, and even dares to beat the old minister in the Jinluan Palace.

They can't afford to offend such people.

Because His Majesty has to give three points, this is the person who single-handedly helped His Majesty to the throne, and he is also the strongest person in the Northern Zhou Dynasty at present.

None of them are stupid, and no one will stand up to such a person.

None of them are opponents.

Tang Xiao looked at Yuwen Qianyang, hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty has his own concerns, and the minister naturally understands, just for my Northern Zhou, what's the harm in searching Li Shoufu's mansion?" The minister is sure that Li Shoufu must have some dealings with the officials of the Great Jin Dynasty, if not, the minister is willing to give it with his head!"

Tang Xiao felt that if the Northern Zhou wanted to unite with the outside world, it was necessary to solve the internal affairs first.

Otherwise, the internal has not been figured out, how to deal with Da Jin and let him reap the benefits of the fisherman?

At that time, his plan will not succeed.

Hearing Tang Xiao say this, Yuwen Qianyang hurriedly said: "Aiqing is serious. ”

Tang Xiao said so, if he still has such an attitude, it seems that he is too incompetent.

So Yuwen Qianyang said: "Gonggong Feng, you personally take someone to Li Shoufu's house to search, you must search carefully, don't hurt Li Shoufu's family!"

"Yes!"

Feng Yang took the order and left, but Li Shoufu's face instantly turned pale.

"Your Majesty!

Li Shoufu shouted, extremely emotional.

Yuwen Qianyang said: "Li Aiqing is a little restless, I have just sat on the throne, and I should also sort out the court, today's matter of Li Aiqing can be regarded as a beginning, if in fact there is really no evidence of collaborating with the enemy in Li Shoufu's house, I am willing to personally apologize for Li Aiqing with the gift of the younger generation." ”

This......

The ministers of the DPRK and China each looked at each other and nodded secretly in their hearts.

To tell the truth, anyone who is searched will be unhappy, after all, they are suspected of collaborating with the enemy.

But when the emperor said this, it was obvious that he was not a faint king.

And this is not necessarily a disadvantage, being the first person to be hit, if nothing is really found, then this person's reputation will be very good in the future, but he is suspected but has no collaborator, and it is impossible to be suspected in the future.

What's more, if it is really proved that he did not collaborate with the enemy, the emperor will apologize in person, as if he had committed a crime, and he will definitely have face and reputation.

There were some people who felt that His Majesty was doing something wrong with this, but now it seems that it may not be a bad thing.
