Chapter 856: Breakthrough (II)

When the people came to report that Sun Tu was visiting, Di Huchen, who had been frowning, immediately perked up and hurried to the outer courtyard to greet him, but he had already guessed the intention of his brother-in-law's sudden visit.

It is said that the prince's situation during this period of time is really difficult, because the news has spread completely, causing the officials and people in Tokyo to know that the battle to pacify the bandits in Sanssouci Cave is from his instructions. This is naturally something to be happy about for ordinary people, but for many officials, it is a different feeling. In addition, some people deliberately fanned the flames, which naturally led to the impeachment of the prince for exceeding his authority and indiscriminate killing, which has not been interrupted until today.

Although Zhao Ji did not react to this for the time being, it can be seen from his acquiescence that he is allowing officials to impeach the prince, so as to make full preparations for his future abolition. What made the prince even more worried was that in the face of such a turbulent feeling, even the courtiers who originally adhered to the ancestral family law and the concept of order between the young and the old collectively lost their voices and did not speak for him, which made the prince fall into a one-sided passive beating situation, which was really precarious.

In addition to being panicked, the ministers around the prince also had deep anger, and naturally went to Sun Tu, the initiator. Because it was his sudden revelation that made the prince, who should have been hiding behind the scenes, completely exposed in front of everyone. In this way, he stayed out of the matter, even if someone impeached him, it would not be painful, but the prince's situation was becoming more and more dangerous, and if he couldn't come up with a counterattack strategy, he was afraid that his position would be really unstable.

As Sun Tu's brother-in-law, and Di Huchen, who also contributed to the cooperation with Sun Tu, now he also has a sense of helplessness that is not human inside and out. These days, I really can't give up, and I can't tell how miserable, and I can only take temporary leave and hide at home, and I can't even go to the front of the palace.

However, unlike other people's ideas, Di Huchen still retains a certain degree of confidence in Sun Tu, since the other party has promised that the prince will deliver the key witness evidence, he will definitely do it. After all, his ability is here, and it doesn't do Sun Tu any benefit to harm the prince like this, you must know that everyone's goal is completely the same.

So when he learned that Sun Tu was coming, Di Huchen had long since lost his previous calm and qi-nourishing work, and hurriedly came out to meet him. After meeting, he didn't bring any greetings, and directly took Sun Tu's hand and asked, "Qianli, what countermeasures have you come up with?" Tell me quickly, if you don't come up with an idea, I'm afraid there will be a big change! ”

Sun Tu withdrew his hand from the other party's grasp without a trace, feeling slightly embarrassed in his heart. To be honest, even though it has been ten years since he arrived in the Great Song Dynasty, he still can't get used to their practice of pulling people's hands at every turn. However, he had already given the answer: "What the second brother guessed is that I am here to help the prince today." Look at this. As he spoke, as soon as he stretched out his hand back, a subordinate presented him with a thick stack of letters and ledgers, and he handed them to the other party.

Seeing this, Di Huchen was even more overjoyed, and he didn't care about entertaining Sun Tu, so he hurriedly came to his own guest hall with him, and then quickly looked through these documents and books. This look was more than half an hour, Sun Tu drank the tea soup sent by his subordinates, and casually made a brief explanation: "I have also seen these things, and indeed many of them are well documented, as long as they are taken out, it is enough for those corrupt officials to drink a pot." I've also heard that many officials in the DPRK and China are now impeaching the crown prince, and I'm afraid that many people's names are among them, right? As long as these things are handed over to the court, it is enough for them to have a headache, and at the same time, it also proves that the prince is not at fault, and it is they who are thieves and have a weak heart, so they will go crazy and bite and reverse black and white. ”

After quickly looking through everything, Di Huchen's face finally looked better, but the sadness between his eyebrows did not completely dissipate. He pondered for a moment before looking at Sun Tu and considering his words: "Although these physical evidence you have found for thousands of miles are of some use, they are not a cure for the symptoms after all." If you just find out that these officials are accused of sheltering the bandits and accepting a large amount of bribes, they can indeed be convicted, but this is not enough to exonerate the prince, after all, he made an unauthorized claim without His Majesty's approval, and moved the military power of the three yamen......" In the end, he also stared at Sun Tu with some resentment, and said that all this was due to Sun Tu.

Sun Tu accepted this calmly, and also understood that the prince's situation was indeed dangerous, because this matter was really a big taboo. The crown prince himself is sensitive enough, and now he actually dares to mobilize the officers and soldiers in the capital, especially if he has done it, which in itself is a dangerous signal for the emperor.

Fortunately, this happened in the relatively peaceful Great Song Dynasty, and Zhao Ji was not a too suspicious and power-hungry emperor. If there were other suspicious male lords, I am afraid that a big prison would have risen a long time ago, and I don't know how many people would have fallen to the ground.

However, the current emperor has only not been released, if the prince can't give him an explanation for a long time, he will still use this matter to clean up his son. After all, he originally intended to abolish Zhao Heng and set up another one, but he was only dissuaded by the courtiers without a legitimate reason, but now it is different.

"I also brought the leader of the bandits in Sanssouci Cave, and with his testimony, isn't it enough for the prince to find a suitable reason?" Sun Tu frowned and said: "In addition, you have also read the above content, the son of Gao Yu behaved perversely and mutilated countless innocent women, as long as this point is exposed, it will be enough to drag him into the water, and the prince can also take the opportunity to explain to His Majesty that he acted arrogantly for the sake of hoeing rape for the imperial court." ”

Di Huchen responded to him with a soft sigh: "Thousands of miles, the matter is serious." Perhaps in your opinion, Gao Yu connived at his son to harm the innocent, and those officials who shielded the thieves for their own selfish desires are already guilty of ten thousand deaths, so it is natural for us to send troops to suppress them, and there is no merit. But His Majesty may not see it this way, what he values most is the threat to himself from everything the crown prince has done. If this knot is not resolved, even if there is more evidence and testimony, I am afraid it will not be possible! ”

Sun Tu was stunned, and then his face became gloomy. It was only then that he realized that the things he valued were not worth mentioning to some people, at least for the emperor, and that the fact that the crown prince could mobilize the officers and soldiers of the capital was far more dangerous than the greed and misdeeds of the courtiers. This is determined by the position, and it is also determined by Zhao Ji's own character!

Because in essence, Zhao Ji is just a greedy, selfish and stupid guy. In fact, this can only be seen from the fact that he is still wantonly looting the people's fat and ointment in the current era of stormy and foreign enemies, levying what flowers and stones, and allowing those who can only flatter but have little ability to govern as important ministers of the court.

So the key now is not to expose the crimes of those people, but to make the prince's behavior have a reasonable basis. Sun Tu's mind turned quickly, and once he understood, he said: "If we can prove that the crown prince is also out of helplessness, if he doesn't strike first, he will lose his life, can we temporarily calm His Majesty's thunderous anger?" ”

"Not only that, but someone must be able to stand up and take this charge down for the prince. said that he was making his own claims, and in order to protect the prince, he had to pretend to be the prince and make a danger to level the thief. Di Huchen said: "Actually, the latter is easy to do, I and other Eastern Palace courtiers have already had such an awareness, but the former is extremely difficult." His Majesty is not so easy to convince, after all, the identity of the crown prince is there, how can a few small people threaten him? ”

"Then what if this matter involves some important minister in the court? For example, Gao Yu! Sun Tu already had a countermeasure, and immediately said: "With the power of the former lieutenant of his palace, he can almost let the forbidden army use it for him, and as long as he has the intention to conspire against the prince to conceal the charges, it makes sense for the prince to strike first in order to ensure his safety." ”

"It's easier said than done......"

"The evidence is already in our hands, parents in the world will always do everything possible to protect their children, and he will be no exception." Sun Tu pointed to the document with Gao Yan's guilt. But Di Huchen still hesitated: "Is this really enough?" ”

"We can add another chip! If someone from a high level of power suddenly attacks your house and wants to snatch important human and physical evidence, things will be very different. This will completely confirm the accusation! ”

"Can you really do that?"

"How do you know if you don't try?" Sun Tu said, already standing up: "I will find a way to do this matter freely, what you have to do is to guard the door, as long as they dare to come, they will definitely be left!" ”

"Good! Although my Di family is not as good as it was back then, it is not those young people who come when they want to come and leave if they want to. As long as they do come, I'll be able to keep all the mouths alive! At this time, Di Huchen swept away the confusion and anxiety that had been in place for many days, and his body revealed the confidence and sharpness that the descendants of the Di family should have!

¥¥¥¥¥

In the past few days, Gao Duo and Gao Yanei have been staying at home honestly and have never taken half a step out of the mansion, not only because Gao Yu gave him a grounding order, but also because he himself was frightened by what happened before.

On that day, he rushed into the carriage and wanted to play with a few girls, but when he arrived at the place, he found that it was surrounded by officers and soldiers. Fortunately, his men saw the opportunity quickly and escaped. Then after dark, even more terrible news kept coming, and it was actually the whole Sanssouci Cave that had been uprooted. This really frightened him, and he began to worry that he would be implicated, after all, there were too many unsavory things related to them.

In fact, his father Gao Yu also knew these things, and he indulged him on weekdays, but if something really happened, he still had to be locked up at home and not allowed to go out. But even if he was at home, it was difficult for Gao Duo to feel completely at ease, especially after knowing that the person who did it was Sun Tu, and the prince was in command behind the scenes, it made it even more difficult for him to sleep.

And today, a piece of news that frightened him even more came from his cronies: "Yanei, the big thing is not good!" In the end, the big boss of Sanssouci Cave fell into the hands of Sun Tu, and he was sent to Di Huchen. It is said that that guy still has a hand, and he has written down all the things we have done, as well as the burial places of those women, and he has also remembered them! ”

"What!" These words made Gao Duo panic suddenly, and he stood up suddenly, and his whole face quickly trembled and twisted: "How is this a good ......?"

"Yanei, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible, we can only ask the master for help!" This cronie hurriedly instigated. He is a direct person who handles many things, once he doesn't solve the problem, there may be a glimmer of life in the ya, but he is sure to die!
