Peeking at the two of them who didn't make any eye contact, Gao Yu felt a little confused in his heart, what did Tong Guan rely on to get Cai Jingken to come forward to speak for him?

You must know that Taishi Cai is a real person in the court, holding a lot of power, but he is not willing to help people speak, even if he is a favorite of the Son of Heaven like Gao Yu and Tong Guan, in fact, he is just a small person in his eyes, how can the fight between them make Tai Sheng interested?

Sensing Gao Yu's suspicious gaze, the corners of Tong Guan's mouth hooked slightly, if he hadn't been fully prepared, how could he dare to make a sudden move at a big court meeting like today? Taishi Cai is indeed difficult to climb, but he is not without opportunities, but he has formed a good relationship with him when he is a child.

In fact, in fact, this matter is inseparable from Sun Tu, that is, Jiangzhou Taishou Cai Jiu Cai Dezhang. It was Tong Guan who arranged Sun Tu to go to Jiangzhou at the beginning, so that Cai Dezhang could really control the overall situation locally, and Cai Jing could not deny that he owed Tong Guan a favor.

After that, Tong Guan never mentioned this matter to anyone, and it was not until he came to the door two days and night before that he used this relationship, and also vaguely mentioned that once Sun Tu was convicted, he was afraid that Cai Jiu would also be implicated, which naturally made Cai Jing unable to sit idly by.

Of course, this is not enough, the key to really making Cai Jing speak out at this time is Tong Guan's remarks later: "The Taishi really doesn't hide it, and the lower officials are so concerned about this matter not only for me, but also for the sake of the stability of my Great Song Dynasty." Taishi, you don't know, that Sun Tu is very bold, and his reputation in the whole territory of Shandong is also extremely high, if the imperial court really wants to investigate this matter and force him to be anxious, I am afraid that he may really be exposed......"

Hearing this, Cai Jingjing was a little uneasy, squinting his old eyes and asking, "He has such courage?" ”

Although this person has never shown his disobedience to the court, the lower officials can feel that this is a fanatic who does not follow the etiquette law. When he was in Jiangzhou and dared to kill officials by extraordinary means in Qingzhou, this is the best illustration. If the court can treat him well, this person should be the backbone of the country, but once he really wants to punish him, he will never be arrested. At that time, once he raises troops and unites with the Liangshan bandits, the chaos in Shandong will be completely out of control! ”

Looking at Tong Guan's worried look, Cai Jing really believed it. He knew that Tong Guan would not dare to talk nonsense about such a big thing, but he was more concerned about Sun Tu, a dangerous person: "Since this person is so dangerous, you still dare to put him in Qingzhou and give him military power?" ”

"The Taishi forgives the sin, and the lower officials didn't see through this person at the beginning, and they didn't understand it until recently. In fact, I took him to Liao to transfer him from Shandong, so that when I came back, I could directly bring him back to Bianjing, which was a good way to eliminate future troubles without blood. However, God did not obey his wishes, and the chaos that occurred in Youzhou actually made him out of my grasp, so that such an uncontrollable situation appeared. Tong Guan hurriedly explained a few words.

Cai Jing looked at him for a long time before agreeing with this statement: "So you want to protect him this time?" ”

"Not only to protect him, but also to take the opportunity to let him be used by the court, so that he can fight against the Liangshan bandits. If he can quell the chaos, it will be great, if he is defeated, he will inevitably lose his troops, and then the court will use this as an excuse to take him down. Tong Guan said his plan without reservation, which was exchanged for Cai Jing's nod.

Gao Yu didn't know the details, so he was only shocked at this time, and then exchanged glances with Liang Shicheng in front of him, and they all looked puzzled, this time things are really not easy to do.

Sure enough, with Cai Jing's opening, the courtiers no longer dared to refute at will, even Zhao Ji nodded again and again: "What the Taishi said is indeed reasonable, this Sun Tu is a rare general, if it is indeed a little inappropriate to condemn him for this matter, then give him a chance to redeem his merits." This time, if he can quell the rebellion of thieves in Liangshanbo for the imperial court, not only will the previous matter not be investigated, but the imperial court will also reward meritorious deeds, but if he is defeated, then the two crimes will be punished together, and the punishment will not be punished. ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Cai Jing and Tong Guan stepped forward one after another to praise the leader, and then other officials followed suit after hesitating. This impeachment against Sun Tu was finally temporarily suppressed.

Although Gao Yu was annoyed, he could only endure at this time, and at the same time, he had already begun to think about how to act so that Sun Tu would make a big mistake when fighting against Liangshan. He is naturally very experienced in this kind of thing that pulls people back, and in just a moment, all kinds of strategies have been born in his heart, and he will send people to implement them secretly when he is in the future.

But just when he was thinking about it later, Tong Guan spoke again: "Your Majesty, the minister still has something to do!" ”

"Huh? Let's hear it. "Zhao Ji is already a little tired at this time, the early dynasty has already dispersed at this time in the past, but today because of Gao Yu Tong Guan's public law, the court meeting has been postponed for nearly an hour, and I can't imagine that Tong Guan still has something to do. Everyone else also looked at Tong Guan a little strangely, is there anything that can't be played in private, or sparsely, do you have to say it in public here?

That's exactly what happened!

Tong Guan swept Gao Yu with the tail of his eyes before he said: "Your Majesty, among the various crimes of Gao Xiang, the former prefect of Qingzhou, there is a felony of colluding with the Liangshan thieves, and I hope Your Majesty will find out!" After a pause, he said: "Moreover, the minister is also worried that he may not have such courage as a local prefect, and I am afraid that there are more important ministers of the court and the central government behind him who are involved in this matter in public!" ”

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense, and all the officials unconsciously gasped. It is self-evident who Tong Guan is aiming at, Gao Xiang is Gao Yu's nephew, who else is the backer behind him besides him, this is clearly coming for Gao Yu.

If the battle between the two just now was a face-turning, then now Tong Guan is directly starting to tear his face, this is something that the Great Song Dynasty has never encountered in the face for many years, you are like a life-and-death political dispute!

Poor dagger, everything before today was set up for this trick, this is the final purpose of Tong Guan today!

As early as when he knew that Gao Yu had instructed Gao Xiang to attack him in Qingzhou in the name of cleaning up Sun Tu, he had already decided to give the other party a heavy counterattack. And now, with Sun Tu's merits all recognized, it proves that Gao Xiang's crimes are also true, and then they can use this to attack Gao Yu.

Gao Yu was obviously caught off guard by being killed, and he couldn't react for a while, and then he also found that Tong Guan swept the cold killing intent in his eyes, and a sense of horror had grown uncontrollably from his heart, and his legs were a little weak.

Seeing this, Cai Jing just smiled slightly, and did not mean to participate. The more fiercely Gao Yu and Tong Guan fight, the better it is for him, and he also believes that Gao Xiang alone will not be able to defeat the dignified Grand Song Taiwei. Of course, this refers to Gao Yu's proper response, otherwise it's really hard to say what the consequences will be.

At this moment, a person also quickly flashed out, saluted and said: "Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that what Tong Shumi said is reasonable, although Gao Xiang is dead, his crime must be investigated to the end, and it must not be tolerated." The minister is willing to share the worries of His Majesty and investigate this matter carefully. ”

Everyone looked at it, but it was Liang Shicheng who reacted quickly and stood up, which made Tong Guan's brows furrow, this high-ranking ally was shrewd enough to find the key point to break the game at once. Indeed, only when the review of the case is in his own hands can Gao Yu ensure safety.

After Zhao Ji's gaze swept back and forth over the bodies of these favored ministers, he nodded and said, "Zhun Song, let you and the officials of Dali Temple investigate this matter in detail with Taifu Liang." But one thing you have to listen to is that the stakes are so high that there must be no bias! ”

Liang Shicheng hurriedly saluted: "The minister obeys the order......" He heard the meaning of the emperor's words, which was to let him stop thinking about this matter to entangle Sun Tu, and only investigate the charges related to Gao Xiang and others. In fact, this is also a warning from the emperor to calm things down and not want to have another incident, Zhao Ji is not a stupid person after all, several courtiers have already made a fuss like this, how can they not know that they are fighting with this matter.

And Gao Yu and Tong Guan are both Zhao Ji's favored courtiers, he doesn't want the two of them to fight to the death, so he can just press the matter down. Of course, since Gao Xiang had already confessed to all the charges before his death, a large number of people in his relatives would inevitably be implicated, even if Gao Yu could only eat a dumb loss at this time, and pick up his tail to admit it.

Liang Shicheng, who was deeply in the holy will, also sighed after receiving the decree, today's Gao Yu was quite ugly. If he hadn't come forward in time, but let Tong Guan or other officials who had a grudge against Gao Yu take the lead, I was afraid that his situation would be more and more difficult.

But if you think about it carefully, it is reasonable for him to lose, after all, today is Tong Guan's sudden attack, Gao Yu has not heard any rumors before this, and he has not even known that Gao Xiang and others were killed.

When the court meeting ended and the ministers dispersed, Gao Yu and Liang Shicheng walked together, and the former thanked him again and again: "If it weren't for Taifu's timely action, I'm afraid that the lower officials would have fallen in the way of the old thief." ”

"Does the Captain know why he was defeated?" Liang Shicheng asked with a solemn face.

"It's all that Tong Guan ignores the rules of the DPRK and the central government, and is ......ruthless," Gao Yu gritted his teeth and said.

Liang Shicheng shook his head lightly: "No, Tong Guan just took advantage of the situation, but it was Sun Tu who was far away in Qingzhou who really made you fall into such a passive situation." It is he who has done everything well, so that you are passive everywhere, and it is difficult to turn over. So this person is the real strong enemy of you and me, and we really underestimated this young man in the past! ”

Gao Yu only thought about it carefully, and nodded thoughtfully: "This person is indeed not to be underestimated, and he must be eliminated as soon as possible!" ”

"Then take advantage of this opportunity, Liangshan thief Kou is not so easy to level, as long as he makes a mistake, I will be enough to put him to death!" Liang Shicheng said coldly, there has never been a moment when he desperately wants to let one person die like today!

Sun Tu has now become the biggest thorn in the hearts of the two powerful ministers of the DPRK and China!
