He had seen everything Xiao Chenghe had done in the past, and it was because of Xiao Chenghe's previous life that they had ended up like this. Now Xiao Chenghe just made a few casual changes as if to get everyone's forgiveness. Others could do that, but their family members absolutely could not.

Pei Qingshan expressed his thoughts in a cold voice, and some ministers nearby looked at him in surprise.

After returning from the north, Pei Qingshan's personality seemed to become more domineering.

He also became tougher in his words and deeds.

It was as if he didn't even consider Xiao Chenghe as the emperor.

Such an idea made the ministers around him feel a little unbelievable.

How come Pei Qingshan seemed to have become a different person after being exiled?

How dare you treat the emperor like this.

It would have been fine if the emperor wasn't angry, but he was also listening to Pei Qingshan seriously. What was going on?

After Xiao Chenghe listened to Pei Qingshan's opinion, he looked at the ministers below and said, "Did you understand what Prime Minister Pei said?"

The great god who was distracted just now was suddenly stunned.

They subconsciously looked at Xiao Chenghe, wondering why Xiao Chenghe suddenly asked them this question.

Seeing that those ministers did not take Pei Qingshan's words seriously, Xiao Chenghe was a little angry. He frowned and looked at them unhappily and said, "The opinions raised by the Prime Minister are all the areas where Xiao State needs to make changes now, but you, as ministers of Xiao State, do not take them seriously. If you are irrelevant, then resign and give your position to others."

He was listening carefully to Pei Qingshan's suggestions, but these people didn't take them seriously. Did they really take him seriously?

"Your Majesty, rest your anger."

"The Prime Minister just came back from the north. He quickly learned about the situation in the capital and gave the best solution. But you have been in the capital for such a long time, but you know nothing. So tell me what you are going to do."

"Now that the Prime Minister has told us all the solutions and needs your cooperation, you don't take it seriously. Do you think that without you, we can't live like this?"

No one expected Xiao Chenghe's rage, especially those fence-sitters.

A minister who used to be smooth and tactful and was favored by Xiao Chenghe stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister just came back and he already knows so much news from the capital. Is there something fishy going on?"

This was almost like saying Pei Qingshan was monitoring them.

Pei Qingshan found it somewhat amusing to hear such obvious attempts to sow discord.

Even at this point, these people still haven't realized the problem.

Xiao Chenghe looked at the person who spoke coldly.

He remembered that this person ended up together with the Guan family in his previous life.

In this life, because he took action against the Guan family in advance, he forgot about this person.

"Your Majesty, has the Prime Minister joined forces with people in the court? Otherwise, how could he know all these things so quickly?" Seeing that Xiao Chenghe did not respond, the minister who was trying to sow discord became more excited.

He thought Xiao Chenghe tacitly agreed to what he said.

"Your Majesty, Pei Qingshan and his men just returned, and they already know everything about the capital, and they are so close to the Regent. It is obvious that they have ulterior motives for returning."

Xiao Chenghe didn't say anything the whole time, just to see what else these people could say.

Who would have thought that someone would actually come out to cause trouble for Pei Qingshan's family.

"Your Majesty, what Lord Zhang said is correct. Pei Qingshan said so much as soon as he came back, and even wanted to take action against some ministers. Who would believe him if he said there was no problem?"

Seeing those fence-sitters popping up one by one, Xiao Chenghe was so angry that he laughed.

He looked at the people below meaningfully and asked in a cold voice, "Does anyone else have the same idea?"

A few fence-sitters looked at each other, then stood up and said, "Your Majesty, we support Lord Zhang."

Hearing this, Xiao Chenghe nodded: "Okay, very good."

There was a hint of joy in Lord Zhang and the others' eyes, thinking that they had made the right bet.

Who knew that they didn't feel happy for long before Xiao Chenghe spoke up: "Come here, arrest all these people for me."

Lord Zhang and the others looked up at Xiao Chenghe, their eyes full of disbelief at this matter: "Your Majesty?"

"I was the one who told the Prime Minister and the others this news."

"The Prime Minister has been busy running around for the Xiao Kingdom since he came back, and what about you? You are a bunch of fence-sitters. You can't wait to cause trouble for the Prime Minister as soon as he comes back."

"What's wrong with the Prime Minister being close to the Regent? He is the Regent's father-in-law."

Those who knew about this matter listened calmly to Xiao Chenghe getting angry here, while those who didn't know about this matter looked at Pei Qingshan beside him in shock, as well as Xiao Chenghe who hadn't said a word since he had attended court.

Mr. Zhang looked at Xiao Chenghe in front of him with a dull look, and said with a confused look: "It's impossible to say that."

"Nothing is impossible. I personally asked for the Prime Minister to come back. It's not like you said you wanted to take revenge on me."

Pei Qingshan was willing to come back because of the people.

If it weren't for the people, Pei Qingshan wouldn't care about these things.

Lord Zhang and the others looked at Xiao Chenghe with pale faces. They had never expected that the truth of the matter would be like this.

With his eyes lowered, Pei Qingshan had a hint of sarcasm on his face.

Then he looked up at Lord Zhang's collapsed and unbelievable look and said, "Lord Zhang, I'm sorry to disappoint you. You wanted to sow discord between me and the emperor, but you didn't know that I was invited back by the emperor from the north."

"The emperor told me about these things in the capital on his way back. His purpose was to rectify the situation in the capital, but you seem to know nothing about it."

Xiao Chenghe looked at Lord Zhang with dissatisfaction. There wasn't much evidence against these people. It would be bad to deprive them of their official positions, but it would be disgusting to keep them here.

His brows were slightly furrowed and his expression looked a little unhappy.

When Xiao Chenghe didn't know what to do, Xiao Minye suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to give you."

Lord Zhang and the others suddenly became nervous. They looked at Xiao Minye at the same time, and that made Xiao Chenghe's eyes filled with deep thought.

Now it seems that what Xiao Minye has in his hand might be the evidence of Lord Zhang and others' crimes.

After taking a look at the chief eunuch beside him, the chief eunuch hurried down to take the small box from Xiao Minye's hand.

Xiao Chenghe took the box and glanced at Lord Zhang and the others. While Lord Zhang and the others were trembling with fear, Xiao Chenghe opened the box, took out the letter and began to read it carefully.

The more Xiao Chenghe read the content, the uglier his expression became.

He looked at Lord Zhang and the others and said, "You are so brave."

"I didn't expect that I would leave you behind when I was cleaning up the Guan family."

Xiao Chenghe's words frightened Lord Zhang and the others so much that they kept kowtowing: "Your Majesty, we know we are wrong. Please forgive us this time."
