Sun Tu's reaction was so fast that he had grasped the flaw in the other party's words in an instant, and immediately knelt down and said to Zhao Ji: "Your Majesty, everyone mentioned by Taifu Liang is indeed eliminated by me, but I did this to maintain the laws and regulations of our Song Dynasty.

"Jiangzhou Yuan Wang colluded with bandits on the river to harm the ships. This was something that even Prefect Cai agreed with, and the court also rewarded and punished them early. Murong Yanchao colluded with bandits in the Erlongshan in Qingzhou and intercepted the official army that suppressed the bandits in our way. He Mo and Gao Xiang secretly formed bandits in Liangshan, causing the Qingzhou official army to suffer repeated defeats and suffered heavy losses at that time. If I had not rushed back in time and brought the chaos back, it would be hard to say when the Liangshan rebelled.

"Now, the Grand Tutor Liang used these few people to point out that I was revengeing my personal grudges, which was really hard for me to accept. Especially Wang Shenbin, who has already confessed that he had colluded with the Gu family, how can I say that I am making a fuss? If Your Majesty still doesn't believe it, please let someone bring Wang Zhongcheng and others into the palace to ask the reason. Grand Tutor Liang, I can certainly make a fuss, but what about the others? I can't buy all the more than ten censors or make a fuss? I'd like to ask Your Majesty to return me to justice!"

He was really speaking urgently and quickly, but he was clearly organized. He pointed out that the person who was valued by Liang Shicheng before was all blamed for his own consequences. At the same time, he also clearly pointed out that he did not know the people and used them. He actually recommended and supported some greedy and cruel people who colluded with the bandits one after another, so it was not surprising that he had another Wang Shenbin.

Liang Shicheng was completely stunned by his targeted words. How could he have thought that this young general had such good eloquence and courage to talk so well with the emperor. Even he, the favorite minister in front of the emperor, did not have the ability to defend the other party as urgently as the other party. In anger, Liang Shicheng was speechless for a while, but finally couldn't speak.

If the memorials of the ministers impeached Sun Tu were sent to the palace one day, Zhao Ji would have a clear attitude. Perhaps Sun Tu's words would not be so powerful, but now, it is obvious that even the emperor is a little shaken. After all, he was handed over to Sun Tu. Liang Shicheng came to call for justice and actually made him feel a little embarrassed.

Although Sun Tu knelt on the ground, his eyes were always paying attention to the emperor's reaction. Seeing that he was moved, he felt even more at ease and immediately continued: "Your Majesty, everyone I reported had witnesses and testified. In addition, I have never really said that Liang Taifu had colluded with the spies of the Liao people. He was just greedy for money and was kept in the dark. However, due to his protection and Wang Zhongcheng, the Gu family merchants and others became more courageous and unscrupulous in sending the prohibited items out of Tokyo and transporting them to the Liao Kingdom is the fact that the Taifu still has to bear a lot of responsibility for this matter."

"It's a bit of a reason." Zhao Ji, as the emperor, knew exactly what kind of virtues these close ministers are. Although he turned a blind eye on his daily life, if something really happened, he would not lose the knocks he should do. At this moment, the emperor finally turned a deep face: "Liang Qing, it seems that you have a bad idea. The Gu family business really has a financial entanglement with you, which has led them to do whatever they want?"

"My memory..." Liang Shicheng wanted to say that he was wronged, but he also understood that these things could not be denied, otherwise he would only become darker and darker. At this time, he could only lower his head: "I know my mistake, but I was indeed greedy for a moment, so I let the people below go and make them too presumptuous."

Seeing that he recognized him, the expression on his face eased: "But I also believe that you will never really have any connection with the Liao people. I still know your loyalty."

"Your Majesty is wise, I am ashamed." At this point, he could only retreat and protect himself first. Sun Tu's arrival and performance did catch him off guard, and he instantly turned the situation around. The person who was already punished became a hero. He didn't feel regretful. If he had known that this guy was so difficult, he would have fought more steadily. At least he would have waited until the ministers' bullets were sent and the strength of his party members was combined to deal with him.

"But Mr. Yue, what you have done in the past few days has been too much. Now the court is in panic because you searched for officials everywhere. Even the palace has started to spread rumors. Although this spy from the Liao Kingdom wants to take it, it cannot disrupt the peace between our court and Tokyo." After briefly talking about Liang Shicheng's handling, Zhao Ji began to beat Sun Tu again. Even he was a little dissatisfied with Sun Tu's thunder methods.

"Your Majesty, I know that what I did is really too impatient, but it is of great importance. If I do not do this, I cannot find out the whereabouts of the relevant thieves as soon as possible. Moreover, I have indeed made great achievements this time. Not only have I captured all the corrupt officials who protected the Gu family, but I have also gained some flaws about the Liao spies hiding in Tokyo. As long as I give me some more time, I will be able to catch them all in one place." Sun Tu hurriedly defended himself.

Sure enough, Zhao Ji was excited after hearing this: "If this is true, I will give you a good reward. By the way, do you think there is someone to protect the Gu family?"

"That is, after careful investigation, I found that the Gu family had sold hundreds of thousands of stones of grain to the Liao people in the past few years, and his food was all from the military rations that our imperial guards were deducted. Among them were the military rations of Zhuang Fan, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, Jia Huan, the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue, Huang Wendao, the commander of the Palace Front Office, and Yang Huaichang, the doctor of the Ministry of Justice. They either tampered with military rations or asked their slaves to open grain shops, intercepted the grains that should have been distributed to the imperial guards, and then sent them to the store for sale. In the end, they were all bought at a high price by the Gu family store... All of these were recognized by Gu Youzhi personally, and there were many proofs that could be verified."

Well, Sun Tu actually angrily pulled several officials from the middle and middle levels of the court into such a major case. This time, even Zhao Ji's face became extremely ugly. When he opened the confession file again and read it quickly, he found that there were more officials involved in the case inside, densely packed, with more than a dozen or twenty people...

Liang Shicheng looked at Sun Tu in surprise. If he hadn't been in front of the emperor, he would have been able to give him a thumbs up and said he had admired Sun Tu. This guy is really brave and generous. He has caught all the powerful officials in the key yamen in one go. Are you really planning to raise a prison and clean up the court?

Moreover, among the officials here, there is really no one who has much to do with him, Taifu Liang. There are many who have a lot of connections with Tong Guan, Gao Qiu, and favored officials like Yang Jian. He offended all the powerful officials!

At this moment, Liang Shicheng felt that he was a little stupid when he rushed into the palace. With Sun Tu's own move, who could let him go? He didn't have to take action on his own. Just those people could use their memorials to bury him with memorials. This made his eyes at Sun Tu become extremely strange, with resentment, more shocked, and a little gloating.

The emperor was completely stunned at this moment. Sun Tu really gave him a big problem that was unsolvable. As smart as him, he could naturally easily see that what Sun Tu said was true. Even if they were not really trying to help the spies of the Liao Kingdom, they had indirectly made big mistakes that would harm the court, because if it weren't for their collusion between officials and businessmen, it would be impossible for the Gu family to be so unscrupulous.

Not to mention that these people were working hard, filling their own pockets, and swallowing up all the military rations and salaries that should have been allocated to the imperial guards. It can be said that these people’s crimes are very serious enough. If they really want to be investigated, they can not only be demoted or demoted.

But in this way, it will inevitably cause great turmoil in the court and in the capital, and even lead to a great reduction in the prestige of the court among the people. All of this is something that Zhao Ji doesn't want to see. He, who doesn't like to mess around, has always been willing to let court officials down. How could he like to see such a result?

Sun Tu still knelt there in a regular manner, looking respectful, waiting for the Emperor's Holy Punishment. But in fact, his heart was already ups and downs, and he was even a little nervous.

Although he was unwilling to admit some things, he could only accept them. Whether in Shandong or Jiangnan, he had seen too many of the various disadvantages of the Song Dynasty today - exploiting the people, disregarding human lives, treating soldiers, and rampant corrupt officials... Each of these made him clearly think that most of the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty was to suffer by oneself. But all of this was borne by thousands of the most innocent people, and even the suffering the people suffered in the years that followed would be much greater than those noble officials and kings.

After understanding all this, Sun Tu had the idea of ​​taking Zhao Song and replacing it, but because he had some concerns, such as the safety of himself and Yaer, and Zhao Song was indeed stronger than ordinary dynasties. The business was developed and the wealth of the people were undeniable, which led to Sun Tu still being hesitant even at this time.

Until this time, when such a big case occurred in Bianjing City, when the ministers and ministers in the court actually reached out to the imperial guards' money and food for a little profit, when Sun Tu knew how dark and dirty everything behind it was, he finally felt a little unbearable.

Even so, he still made his last efforts, or gave the court a last chance. As long as the emperor could wake up in time and investigate the matter strictly, Sun Tu would still do his best to do his job well. When the Jin people invade in the future, he would inevitably take his Shandong army like those loyal ministers in history books to deal with it and try to change the direction of this history.

And now, the decision-making power is only in Zhao Ji’s thoughts!
