This is the third time that Sun Tu has entered the palace in two months, and he has surpassed more than eighty percent of the courtiers in Tokyo. Among the officials of the Manchu Dynasty, except for those who were in important positions, they could often see His Majesty, and ordinary officials, even if they always participated in court meetings, it was not easy to meet the emperor, and he was obviously an exception.

Sun Tu, who entered the palace again, had a feeling of familiarity, and followed behind the inner attendant who led the way, his eyes glanced to the sides from time to time, and only then did he have a deeper experience of the Great Song Palace. The Imperial Palace here is far from the Forbidden City, far from the solemnity of the museum there, and the area is too small, and you can see that many palaces are cramped on a small piece of ground.

Perhaps this is also related to the fact that today's monarchy is far from being compared with a few hundred years later, of course, this is also inseparable from the Zhao family's consistent pro-people line, just from the dense snack vendors outside the palace, it can be seen that the Zhao and Song Dynasty is indeed the most unscrupulous royal family in ancient times.

However, after seeing Zhao Ji, Sun Tu quickly put this strange thought in his heart behind, even if people are close to the people, they are also kings, far from being able to despise them now, not to mention that being close to the people and loving the people are also completely two concepts, at least under Zhao Ji's rule, the life of the people of the Great Song Dynasty is really not good. What's more, even greater catastrophe is yet to come.

After paying homage to the Son of Heaven, Sun Tu could hear the gentle voice of the emperor above: "Marquis Yue hurriedly came to see me today, but is it because the Tongliao case has made great progress?" ”

"Your Majesty, it is precisely because the minister has found some extremely important clues that he does not dare to make an assertion, so he has come to show His Majesty to make a decision." Sun Tu replied honestly, and as he spoke, he raised a thick stack of notebooks above his head, which stunned the emperor: "Are there so many problems?" ”

"Your Majesty misunderstood, of course, there are transcripts of the minister's detailed account of the Tongliao case, but more of them are the recitals of many officials of the Imperial History Observatory impeaching King Shenbin in the Imperial History. Because the two are closely related, the ministers were sent to the palace together, and His Majesty was invited to see the Holy Judgment! ”

"Bold!" Before the emperor could speak, Liang Shicheng, who was standing solemnly beside him, couldn't help but scold, he really didn't expect Sun Tu to target Wang Shenbin as soon as he came, and in anger, he didn't care that this was in front of the Son of Heaven.

Fortunately, Zhao Ji was quite fond of him, and he didn't care about this gaffe reaction, just glanced at him and said, "Then present these songs, I want to hear what is going on." ”

Sun Tu really didn't pay attention to Liang Shicheng, after all, the latter was dressed in the color of an inner servant, and he stood next to the emperor, so it was easy to mix with other inner servants. But with his reprimand, after a second look, Sun Tu had already recognized the identity of this person, although he had not dealt with Mrs. Liang, but he had met in the previous court meeting and was also impressed.

This made Sun Tu's heart skip a beat, and what he was worried about really happened. When he led people to forcibly take away the Wang family's father and son yesterday, he had already expected that there would be a backlash from the courtiers, especially those who were thieves. It's just that he still didn't expect that the other party's counterattack would be so fast, and even Liang Shicheng had appeared in front of the Son of Heaven earlier! Obviously, before he arrived, this person used words to smear and frame himself.

Thinking about the inside story, Sun Tu quickly adjusted the established policy, and now it is impossible to fight steadily, he must take the sword sideways, and strike first to kill him by surprise. So without any delay, he played again: "Your Majesty, the relevant case ministers will not be in a hurry to report, after all, there are still a lot of things worth considering. But when interrogating Wang Shenbin last night, the minister learned from him that this matter was also related to Liang Shicheng, the prince of the dynasty, and the matter was really important, and the minister had to report it according to the truth, so that His Majesty could make a decision. ”

"What?" Zhao Ji and Liang Shicheng shouted almost in unison, and the latter then shouted with a black face: "Sun Tu, you are really bold, you dare to frame someone like this, your intentions are really sinister, and your heart can be punished!" ”

Zhao Ji also looked at Sun Tu with a surprised expression, and only after a while did he hurriedly flip through the top confession file, and said at the same time: "Yuehou, what you said makes it difficult for me to agree, Liang Qing has always been loyal to me, how could he do something to collude with the Liao people?" ”

Sun Tu didn't pay attention to Liang Shicheng, who was staring at him with murderous eyes, as if he didn't exist at all, but replied: "Your Majesty, the minister did not testify that Liang Taifu colluded with the Liao, but said that this matter is also related to him. ”

"Does it make a difference?" Zhao Ji's face was full of doubts, he didn't look at the confession, and asked directly.

"Back to Your Majesty, because as Wang Shenbin said, he was instructed by Mrs. Liang to protect the Gu family firm, he only has one percent of the shares in the Gu family firm, but Mrs. Liang has two percent of it. It is precisely because of these two backers that they think they are as stable as Mount Tai that the Gu family business firm dares to do such a rebellious thing, and actually tries to earn enough profits by transporting forbidden objects to Liaodi. Your Majesty, these are all personally admitted by Gu Youzhi, the head of the Gu family, and at the same time, there is Wang Shenbin's testimony to corroborate, and the minister does not dare to impose such a big crime on Mrs. Liang without evidence! Although Sun Tu's words were all said by the son of heaven, the tail of his eyes still swept over Liang Shicheng on the side, intentionally or unintentionally, and found that the latter's face had changed greatly, both shocked and angry, and stared at him in a daze, as if he wanted to bite off a piece of meat on himself.

"Is that so?" At this time, even Zhao Ji was a little convinced of this matter, after all, Sun Tu pulled out many witnesses at once, and he also knew something about Liang Shicheng and other close ministers, knowing that they were indeed not Qing officials, and they had a lot of income outside that could not be put on the table.

And after feeling this reaction of the Son of Heaven, Liang Shicheng was really panicked. At that moment, he didn't care about anything else, took two steps quickly, turned around again, and shouted, "Your Majesty, the old slave has been wronged." Even if the old slave is really blinded by lard, he can't do such a big rebellion, and please ask Your Majesty to learn and return the old slave to innocence! ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and glared at Sun Tu again: "Yuehou, what are your intentions in framing me like this?" I know that you and I have always had an enmity, but I didn't expect to be so vicious, and even turn black and white upside down, in a vain attempt to confuse Your Majesty! Say, what kind of heart do you have to keep arresting important ministers and planting blame? ”

After a pause, he continued to shout: "Also, what do you say this is Wang Shenbin's confession, I'm afraid it's just a trick to be beaten, right?" It has only been one night since you took down Wang Shenbin, how could he have caused so many things, he must have been unable to bear it under torture, so he was at your mercy and had to say such undesirable words. Not only him, but also other people, as long as they were captured by you, they were all tortured, so that they could only follow your will and bite indiscriminately. ”

Just from his burst of shouting, it can be seen that he Liang Shicheng is really a little panicked, because this fact is too unexpected for him, the Sun Tu in front of him is completely different from his previous opponents, this person is ruthless, not to mention, he is indeed bold enough, and he does not play cards according to common sense, and he actually ran directly to the emperor to sue himself for his troubles. Isn't this the best way for my own and other close ministers, but today it was reversed!

He was even a little glad that he had come to see the emperor early, otherwise he would have taken the lead, and the situation would only be even more unfavorable.

Sun Tu, on the other hand, showed a surprised expression at this time, and looked Liang Shicheng up and down: "You...... You are Mrs. Liang, but why are you dressed like this, why did you become a eunuch? ”

This sudden question made Mrs. Liang's whole body stiffen, but Zhao Ji above couldn't help laughing. It's a bit out of place, but it's really fun. As for the attendants around them, they all held back their smiles, and their faces were red.

After a while, Zhao Ji reacted and explained with a smile: "Yuehou, you don't know, Taifu Liang was also a trusted person before me, and today he only changed his clothes for the convenience of entering the palace. ”

"I see." Sun Tu nodded as if he knew, and then carefully looked at Liang Shicheng, whose entire face was shrouded in dark clouds, a few times, this question not only embarrassed the other party, but also had another purpose, which could be used at this time: "Mrs. Liang, the lower officials have never crossed paths with you, let alone any personal vendettas, how can they do such a communiqué personal vendetta?" Please also ask Taifu to retract what he just said, don't frame me. ”

"You ......" Liang Shicheng really wanted to make his nose crooked. Good guy, in the blink of an eye, the other party actually hit a rake and put a false accusation on his head. He suddenly laughed angrily: "Sun Tu, you are really addicted to nonsense, this official asked you, Jiangzhou Yuan Wang was killed by you?" There are also Murong Yanchao and He Mo, who have served in Qingzhou, they are all recommended and promoted by their own officials, plus Wang Shenbin, who has just been taken down by you, they are all victimized by you one by one, the reason is not because Tong Guan behind you is not in harmony with this official, so do you want to deal with me by convicting them of various crimes? ”

Sun Tu also thought for a while before remembering the Yuan Wanghe Mo and others he mentioned, when he went to Jiangzhou from Bianjing, he did cooperate with Cai Jiu to solve this pusher who belonged to Liang Shicheng's lineage, and then when Qingzhou changed, he got rid of Gao Xiang and He Mo who wanted to seize his military power, but he didn't expect the other party to have such a good memory, and he still remembers the events of a few years ago clearly.

In fact, where is Liang Shicheng's performance so good, how can a noble person like him bother to write down his subordinates who died many years ago, he just wanted to defeat Sun Tu this time, so he took out the relevant things again, and now, after being made such a fuss by Sun Tu, in order to prove that there is indeed a contradiction between the two sides, he took it out directly......
