There was a sudden silence in the hall, only the sound of Sun Tu's footsteps and the grinding sound of the armor leaves hitting the hearts of the monarchs and ministers incessantly, making their bodies stiffen instantly, and even their breathing was about to stagnate. Zhao Ji, who sat on the throne of the head, was even weaker in his limbs, trembling constantly, and only looked at Sun Tu who was approaching with fear, how could he have the slightest momentum that a king should have.

Until Sun Tu came to stand still only ten steps away from the throne, clenched his fists and bent down to salute: "Ministers Sun Tu see Your Majesty!" The frightened ministers calmed down a little, and Yang Jian was even more bold, shouting: "Sun Tu, you are so bold, you dare to trespass into the palace, do you want to rebel?" ”

This shout finally broke the oppressive atmosphere in the hall, and Cai Jing and the others also struggled out of the coercion after Sun Tu entered the door, and shouted: "Sun Tu, how are you doing?" As long as I wait here, you don't want to hurt Your Majesty! As he spoke, they struggled to their feet, but the action was so awkward that it was not very convincing with what they said.

Sun Tu's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he bowed slightly, but he didn't answer them, but continued to look at Zhao Ji above: "King Chenqin is late, which frightened Your Majesty, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me." I will now convict these rebellious ministers and thieves who want to do evil to Your Majesty. Come! ”

"Sun Tu, you dare to reverse black and white in front of Your Majesty, obviously you are the traitor!" Seeing that several soldiers at the entrance of the hall had already walked towards him, one of the officials could no longer bear it, and with a scream, he pounced on him, his hands were crossed, as if he was going to pinch Sun Tu's neck.

But with his little ability, how could he threaten Sun Tu, he didn't dodge, Sun Tu had already kicked out at the same time as the other party pounced on him, hit him in the chest, kicked him screaming and flew out of the air, before he fell to the ground like a broken sack, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out and fainted.

This also made Cai Jing and the others, who originally wanted to reason with Sun Tu, pause, and the little momentum they had just given birth dissipated. Zhao Ji was also frightened by this, and unconsciously exclaimed, but he was able to speak, and stammered: "Sun ...... What do you want, Yuehou? Do you really want to murder me? ”

At this time, dozens of soldiers had already swarmed up, holding down Cai Jing and the others like catching chickens. Although they struggled and shouted as hard as they could, it was completely useless, and compared to these pro-soldiers who came with Sun Tu, the bodies of these powerful ministers were too weak.

But Sun Tu didn't even sweep the tail of his eyes, he just looked at Zhao Ji with a light and breezy look: "Why did Your Majesty say this?" The minister said a long time ago that this time he sent troops only for the side of the Qing monarch and to protect the peace of His Majesty and the Great Song Dynasty, how could he hurt His Majesty? ”

"Clear ...... Qingjun side? Zhao Ji was surprised, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, who was concentrating on cultivation and art in the palace, had always been kept in the dark by the courtiers below, and he didn't even know the two loud slogans put forward by Sun Tu after he raised his army.

Sun Tu had already guessed that this would be the case, so he smiled and said, "Exactly." This time, the minister came to the side of the Qing monarch, that is, to eradicate the traitors in the court headed by Cai Jing, Liang Shicheng, etc. Your Majesty, you have always been deceived by them, these traitors not only corrupted the law and brutalized the people, but also poisoned the border soldiers who were loyal to the country like the ministers.

"Your Majesty, do you know why in recent years, people from all over the country have risen up in the Great Song Dynasty, and there have been many civil unrest? Everything lies in the fact that these officials are greatly favored by the imperial court, but His Majesty trusts them but does not want to serve the country, but only seeks personal gain. They all have tens of millions of properties, but the people are hungry and cold, and they are displaced, so how can my Great Song Dynasty prosper? Although the minister is not talented, but he feels that His Majesty has been long for many years, even if it is possible to bear the notoriety of rebellion, this time he must come to the side of the Qing monarch, set things right, and return the world to a bright future! ”

His words were really righteous, and Zhao Ji was a little moved into the play. But then, he reacted again, in fact, most of the things that Cai Jing and others did to kill the people were acquiesced in by him, the emperor, or even the will, in order to satisfy his infinite greed as the Son of Heaven. Even the previous decision to convict Sun Tu of seven felonies and to arrest him back to Tokyo for strict trial was a decision made by Zhao Ji with a nod.

But in such a situation, in the face of Sun Tu and his subordinates' extremely murderous aura, it was impossible for Zhao Ji to exonerate Cai Jing and other courtiers and put himself in danger again, in the final analysis, he was a person who was selfish to the extreme, and his courage was even more small. If it weren't for the fact that his body was frightened and weak before, when Sun Tu stepped forward just now, he would have knelt on the ground and begged for mercy at the first time.

Seeing that the emperor suddenly fell silent, Cai Jing and the others were even more frightened. At this time, they couldn't care about anything else, and shouted one after another: "Your Majesty save your life, the ministers are wronged." The ministers have always been loyal to His Majesty and the court, how dare they hide anything from His Majesty. Please also ask Your Majesty to save the minister......"

Sun Tu didn't let people stop these people's mouths, but looked at Zhao Ji all the time when they screamed like this, to see how he would react. And Zhao Ji really didn't disappoint him, after hearing these words, he shook his body as if he had been bitten by a poisonous snake, and hurriedly shouted: "Bold rebel, do you still want to deceive Yu me until now?" I really don't know in the deep palace, for so many years, you have done so many angry things behind my back, no wonder there have been frequent chaos in Jiangnan and other places in the past few years, if it weren't for the loyal ministers like Yue Hou to protect my Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that my Great Song Dynasty foundation will really be destroyed under your hands, and I will die without the shame to go down to see the ancestors and ancestors! ”

As soon as these words came out, they directly stunned Cai Jing and the others, they really didn't expect that the emperor would resolutely abandon themselves at this time, and he followed Sun Tu and kicked himself fiercely, kicking them into the deeper abyss.

It was Sun Tu, and a hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes, a little surprised, but more disdainful. In fact, he didn't know that the real culprit was the emperor in front of him, but at least it was not time to settle all this, so he could only learn the ancients' methods of slandering the venerable, and first convict Cai Jing and others. Anyway, the emperor is wise and innocent, and the reason why the court has done so many wrong things over the years is all because traitors are in charge and control the government.

Anyway, in one sentence, the king is a clear king, and the minister is a traitor. Now that these traitors have been eradicated and the steps on the side of the Qing monarch have been completed, they will naturally be able to cause Jun Yaoshun.

"Your Majesty, even so, please ask Your Majesty to convict them of their crimes, so as to calm the hearts of the people and the army in the world." Sun Tu glanced at Zhao Ji and then proposed.

This not only shows that he will not be unfavorable to Zhao Ji, but also a test for him to see if he understands his situation and makes the wisest choice. Zhao Ji really didn't disappoint him, and immediately said: "Such a traitor, naturally it is not a pity to die!" Yuehou, how to sentence it, you decide, as long as you can sweep away the chaos over the years, I will depend on you. ”

In a word, the death sentence of these important ministers was completely pronounced, and Cai Jing and others, who were already terrified to the extreme, instantly fell into an ice cave, desperate to the extreme. Someone shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister is wronged, everything the minister has done is what His Majesty has allowed it, and the minister ......"

"Shut up their mouths for me, and at this time they did not repent and tried to slander the king, and they deserve death!" Sun Tu saw that Zhao Ji's face changed again, so he shouted angrily and ordered.

Those soldiers also immediately understood, and shouted loudly: "Shut up! Then a few slaps were slapped in the faces of those officials who still wanted to defend themselves. In the crackling sound, the cry of injustice had turned into a cry of pain, and their cheeks immediately swelled high, and a few older ones even had their teeth knocked out, so they naturally couldn't speak.

However, Cai Jing and Liang Shicheng did not suffer such humiliation, because they seemed quite calm at this time, and they did not have the slightest intention of shouting grievances, and even their eyes became calm. Obviously, they have accepted this result, since Sun Tu came in, with the cooperation of the emperor, they have understood that they have been completely abandoned, even if they cry out for grievances, it will be useless, and they will not be able to change their ending. That being the case, why bother with this effort, and bring shame on yourself.

"Since Your Majesty has condemned them to death, the ministers should obey them. However, the crimes committed by these traitors are so serious that the ministers think that they should be tried in public, so that everyone in the world knows their sins, so as to warn future generations. There are also their henchmen, etc., and they must not be indulged lightly, but fortunately, now that the city of Tokyo is surrounded by a large army led by the minister, it must not be difficult to arrest them. Sun Tu proposed unhurriedly.

In this regard, Zhao Ji naturally had no possibility of objecting, and nodded again and again: "Yue Hou has thought thoughtfully, and I have given you full authority to deal with this matter." ”

"The minister will live up to His Majesty's trust and handle this matter properly!" Sun Tu bowed again, and then mentioned the things that the emperor was most concerned about: "By the way, Your Majesty, in addition to these traitors, the situation in the palace is not too safe now, in the opinion of the ministers, it is better to strengthen the palace guard." There are Qingzhou soldiers under the command of the minister, who are the most loyal and powerful, and can ensure the safety of His Majesty. ”

Zhao Ji's heart sank again, but at this time, people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, how dare I object. I can only say against my will: "The Marquis of Yue is loyal to the country, I am deeply grateful, just according to what you say, transfer the Qingzhou army to garrison the palace in case of accidents......"

In this way, less than an hour after entering the palace, Sun Tu completed the two important goals of Qingjun's side and taking the emperor into his own hands. It was only at this moment that he was convinced that this campaign was a real success!
