Gao Yu really kept his promise this time, and after the secret meeting in Fan Lou, his various attacks and criticisms against the prince before the party in the DPRK and China quickly died down. And one of the parties was originally the vanguard of the crusade against the impeachment of the crown prince for his reckless behavior and disregard for people's lives, and now this retreat will naturally bring other forces in the DPRK and China to stop.

In just a few days, the courtiers who did not dare to speak out to protect the prince finally seized the opportunity, and in just a few days, the exculpatory recitals were also presented to the Yintai Division like snowflakes, and the direction of the wind suddenly changed 180 degrees.

This point is that even Zhao Ji never expected that he really had the intention to take this opportunity to take down Zhao Heng, the prince, but now, when he saw that the ministers reacted like this, he hesitated again, so he could only put it aside for the time being to see the after-effects.

In fact, Gao Yu's two-faced approach is also a big taboo in the court, if it is not a matter of life and death for his only son, he would not dare to take such a risk. Fortunately, Zhao Ji is different from those male guesses after all, and his own wings are plump enough, so he really let him solve this matter smoothly and satisfactorily.

Among them, there are naturally Cai Jing and other powerful ministers who let him go, as for the original reason, in addition to not wanting to fight with Gao Yu to lose both, the more important thing is that they really have no intention of offending the current prince. After all, the crown prince is the future king, and he has great righteousness, and some loyal and conservative officials speak up for him, if there is really a dispute, they may not be able to retreat with their whole body. Now that Gao Yu has joined forces with the crown prince again, it is not something they are willing to provoke at will, especially when it is impossible for them to benefit from it, and the officials of the DPRK and China are still reluctant to do things that harm others and themselves.

The previous huge impeachment criticism against the crown prince finally subsided quickly, but the investigation of responsibility for the incident in the capital that day did not completely cease. Soon, the courtiers found a brand new target - Yuehou Sun Tu!

Before, because everyone focused on the prince with a higher status, they ignored him, and only a few people impeached him. But now, as the prince is no longer embarrassed, the ministers suddenly discovered that this marquis is the real promoter of this matter, and the officials who contacted the three yamen were him, and he was the one who took the people himself, and even ordered to pour smoke into the sewers below, causing thousands of lives to be choked to death there - the prince's warrant has been selectively ignored by them - this made the officials find the prince's scapegoat, and various impeachments rose again.

It has only been two days since entering the lunar month, and hundreds of impeachments against Sun Tu have been piled up in the Yintai Division, and many of them have been sent to the palace. In these bullets, Sun Tu was completely described by them as a cruel and murderous villain, who stole power and acted recklessly, and his methods were vicious and vicious. There are even people who bring up the old matter again, and bring out his previous crimes of beheading and killing court officials many times in Shandong and Jiangnan, as evidence, thinking that he is extremely evil and should be beheaded.

In fact, how many of these officials who impeached Sun Tu were out of their own hearts, and how many were instructed by some people, but it is difficult to say what kind of person Sun Tu really is. Anyway, now that it is right for the court to condemn the impeachment of Sun Tu, as for whether he is doing this to eliminate the great trouble in Tokyo, and what the people think about it, these courtiers will not think about it at all.

It was also under such circumstances that Sun Tu's biggest weakness was finally completely exposed - he had almost no heels in the court, and he rose too fast, there was no alliance in Beijing, and at this critical moment, there was no one who could speak for him.

Originally, there was still a child to rely on. But at this time, Tong Shuai had been staying in the north, busy preparing for the Northern Expedition, how could he be an enemy of so many forces in the capital for him? Even if he came in person, he couldn't resist it, let alone those henchmen. All they can do is not fall into the trap and follow others to impeach and denounce Sun Tu.

As for the other people in the DPRK who were good friends with Sun Tu, Di Huchen was originally a party of the prince, so it was naturally impossible to suddenly turn the gun at this time, and Di Yingyang was even more humble and couldn't even hand over the recital. And the families of those subordinates of the Tiger Ben Army all have their own parties, and it is impossible for them to change their course because of a few words from their son, and even some people are even more urgent to impeach Sun Tu in order to make their positions clear.

It can be said that the current Sun Tu is in a stormy and embattled situation, in the middle of the court, like a lonely boat falling on the vast sea, when the wind and waves rise, it is really possible to be completely overturned at any time. In the eyes of many people, if it weren't for the tradition of not killing scholars and doctors in the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that this time he would really have to pay for his life.

Although the emperor has not yet made a final decision to punish him, in the eyes of many people, this young general who has made a lot of contributions to the imperial court, and the rare young marquis is afraid that he has come to an end. Even if he can really save his life, it is difficult to maintain this dispatch. And once he is in the capital and has no dispatch, and he is full of enemies, then Sun Tu's future is really gloomy and full of thorns.

The front division of the palace was the first to react, Gao Yu only gave an order, and took back all the military power in Sun Tu's hands, although he still hung the position of the front secretary of the palace Du Yuhou, but it was just an idle errand, and he had no real power. And in order to embarrass him, Gao Yu also specially sent Di Huchen to deliver this decision.

Although Di Huchen was full of guilt, he could only obey the order, and on the fifth day of the lunar month, he held the order to see Sun Tu again. Originally, after he thought about it, after knowing about it, Sun Tu must have been very annoyed, and it was even possible to kick himself out of the house because he blamed himself. But the result was greatly beyond his expectations.

Sun Tu, who was already in the whirlpool and might not be able to protect himself at any time, seemed quite calm at this time, and even had time to take his son Hutou to have a snowball fight in the backyard of his home. When Di Huchen was led to him, our Yuehou still had a lot of snow foam on his head, and he looked a little embarrassed.

"San Lang, ......" Di Huchen looked at the other party in a daze, and the comforting words that he had prepared were unable to say a word at this time.

Sun Tu smiled and hugged his son in his arms, nodded at Di Huchen and said, "Second brother came today on the orders of that Gao Yu?" He's trying to make a joke of me......"

"You...... Expected? ”

"What's so hard to guess about this, that's all he can do, the villain of Dezhi is the same as the villain." Sun Tu gave an evaluation disdainfully, and then handed his son into the hands of Ya'er, who had already heard the news: "Second brother, you don't have to feel guilty, even if you don't come, there will still be other people coming." And compared to you, others will only be more arrogant, and they want to make me unable to get off the stage. ”

"Hehe, you can see through it, but you compare me to me." Di Huchen shook his head with a wry smile: "But in the end, I still failed you." If I hadn't helped you get things done for the prince before, you wouldn't have ended up where you are today. ”

"So I'm not going to invite you to sit down and talk today, second brother, and I won't give you tea." Sun Tu said that he stepped forward to pass the warrant, but he only opened it and swept his eyes, and he was thrown aside. Since I knew that Gao Yu would make this arrangement, there was naturally no need to watch it.

However, Sun Tu still showed a little pity on his face: "It's a pity for the Tiger Ben Army." Originally, under my leadership, they could slowly become a rare elite in the forbidden army, but then by others to intervene, I am afraid that they will be beaten back to the prototype again. ”

"Are you still worried about the Tiger Army at this time?" Di Huchen was a little shocked, his brother-in-law's heart is really too big, this is all burning his eyebrows, he still has the leisure to think about anything else?

Sun Tu smiled: "I know what you're worried about, second brother, obviously it's impossible for those guys in the court to let me go so easily." ”

"In my opinion, this is just the beginning. When you are stripped of all your sends, it means that you no longer have any ability to resist and protect yourself. At that point, they will naturally have the means to concoct you. Di Huchen's face was worried: "Are you really not worried about yourself at all?" I know that you have experienced many battles, and you have the most experience in fighting on the battlefield, but although there is no blood in this court battle, it is sometimes more dangerous and terrifying than real swords and real guns. My ancestor Di Wuxiang has fought for many years and rarely lost, but as a result, when he arrived in the court, he was not ambitious and difficult to reach, and finally ended up in a dismal end?

"There is a world of difference between civil and military, and now that you have no shelter and many enemies, I am afraid that it will not be long before you become the target of public criticism. Even if you're okay, they'll be able to find all sorts of charges. ”

Sun Tu could see that Di Huchen was really heartbroken for himself this time, and he didn't even hesitate to talk about his ancestors' affairs for this reason. This made his heart feel warm, and his resentment towards his uncle was completely dissipated.

At that moment, he smiled again: "I know that I am in a difficult situation, and maybe there will be more troubles in the future." However, my Sun Tu is not muddy, and he can let them handle it at will. When I dared to return to the capital from Jiangnan that day, I was already prepared. ”

"You...... And a backhand? Di Huchen's heart suddenly jumped, as if he had caught something.

Sun Tu didn't say anything more, just said, "My second brother doesn't have to worry about my affairs here." If you really want to help me, say a few kind words for the brothers of the Tiger Army, and at least ask for the reward I promised them before, otherwise their hard work to beg the thief the day before yesterday will be in vain. ”

"I see." Di Huchen nodded and agreed: "Then you can rest at home with peace of mind." Fortunately, this is the New Year's Festival, and even if those people have any ideas, they can only drag it out for a while. ”

"Yes, it's the New Year. The debt is not more than a year......" Sun Tu echoed, but the last sentence was inaudible, and even Di Huchen in front of him couldn't hear what he was talking about.
