Chapter 156
They all looked at Xu Shize with grateful eyes. Although Xu Shize had now joined Tang Yu's camp, because of Xu Shize's suggestion, they were spared the disaster of beheading. They were grateful to Xu Shize from the bottom of their hearts.
"Retreat!" When Zhao Gao saw this, he shouted at the top of his voice.
"snort!"
Emperor Tang's face was livid. He didn't look at the accounts again, but stood up and walked towards the royal study.
After the morning session, Tang Yu looked at Xu Shize and joked: "Old Xu, old Xu, the old one is still the hot one. You and my father are both old foxes. You guys are really good at cooperating with each other!"
"The main reason is that His Highness cooperated well!" Xu Shize smiled slightly.
After many years in the court, Xu Shize knew that it was simply impossible to kill all those involved in corruption at once.
It’s enough to kill the civilian officials, but what about the generals?
The royal family, relatives, and aristocratic families are all interconnected. If this group of people is pressed, they might unite to rebel.
Especially since the Tang Dynasty was about to start a war with the Chu Dynasty, the generals would not be able to kill them.
Remember URL
Killing generals before a battle is an unknown call.
Fortunately, Tang Yu only named two fifth-rank minor officials. Emperor Tang took the opportunity to scare the monkeys and frightened the civil and military officials of the court. With Xu Shize's cooperation, Emperor Tang naturally had the opportunity to humiliate the ministers.
In this way, not only can the civil and military officials of the court be appeased, but silver can also be collected on a large scale, killing two birds with one stone.
Tang Yu didn't understand what Xu Shize was going to do at first, but now that he thought about it, Tang Yu realized that he was still too young.
If he followed his decisive and decisive temper, he would definitely drag all these people into the water. If all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty died, Tang Long and Tang Shuheng would not be able to fight with him, and he would naturally become the final winner of this political struggle. .
However, the water in the court is too deep and involves too many things. It would be difficult to kill them all at once.
Xu Shize knew that Tang Yu had some regrets, so he smiled and said: "Your Highness, this is actually of great benefit to you!"
"Oh? Is it good for me? What are the benefits?" Tang Yu asked in confusion.
Xu Shize lowered his voice and said: "Because I just spoke, His Majesty did not thoroughly investigate all the officials. Now the civil and military officials of the whole court are grateful to me. Invisibly, I have become a good old man, and now I belong to your camp, His Highness the Crown Prince. In the future, if His Highness wants to poach someone, wouldn't it be much easier if I take action personally?"
"Don't say it yet, it's true!"
Tang Yu's eyes lit up and he said: "Old Xu, Old Xu, you are really a thousand-year-old fox. Fortunately, Miss Jin'er secretly loves me. Otherwise, if you join other camps, I will really have one head and three heads!" Lao Xu, if you help me, I will feel like a god is helping me!"
"Stop doing this! Your Highness, I ask you, are you taking advantage of my daughter?" Xu Shize's face suddenly darkened.
"How can I?"
Seeing that Xu Shize was angry, Tang Yu hurriedly said: "It's obviously your daughter who wants to marry me when she sees that I am suave and heroic, and shamelessly wants to marry me. Hey, hey, Lao Xu, why are you clenching your fists? Put it down, Lao Xu, Put your fist down quickly..."
"Ouch! Ouch!!!"
Suddenly, a funny scene unfolded outside the Jinluan Palace. Prime Minister Xu Shize, regardless of Tang Yu's status as the prince of the East Palace, pinned down the prince Tang Yu and beat him violently.
Prince Tang Yu seemed to have done something wrong. He didn't dare to fight back when Xu Shize beat him violently, which shocked countless guardsmen in the palace.
When the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty returned home, they immediately checked how much silver was left at home and prepared to hand over the embezzled silver, for fear that they would be investigated and punished by the Tang Emperor and lose their heads.
Night gradually fell, and in the early morning, many domestic slaves received orders and came to the gate of the palace with gold and silver treasures.
Surprisingly, there was no guard guard outside the palace, leaving an open space.
"Have you heard? Your Majesty is conducting a thorough investigation on all civil and military officials, and many people have been investigated!"
"I've known it for a long time, don't talk nonsense, drop the silver quickly, the head of the family said, you must drop the silver, otherwise you will be beheaded!"
"Yes, yes, yes, don't meddle in so many other things, drop the money and let's go back and recover as soon as possible!"
