This secret chamber of the Secret Investigation Department has always been hidden in the palace, and only a few people know about it.
The secret pavilion has always been hidden underground and is never exposed on weekdays. To enter the secret pavilion, one must first pass through many levels, which are very dense.
Sun Gusheng found a few cushions, spread them on the ground, and said, "I can only feel aggrieved for the time being."
Gu Xiaotian sat down on the cushion, looked at the busy subordinates of the Secret Investigation Department below, waved his hands and joked: "No aggrieved, no aggrieved, I will never have the chance to sit on the dragon chair in this life. Sitting here looking at these people, I feel It’s no different than sitting on a dragon throne.”
It was a joke, but probably only Gu Xiaotian dared to say that.
The atmosphere relaxed a lot.
A subordinate came to Sun Gusheng with a secret letter and whispered: "Your Highness, I have found out that the situation is true."
Sun Gusheng took the secret letter and nodded.
The subordinate did not continue speaking, but turned around and opened the door to the dark pavilion and disappeared into the night.
Sun Gusheng briefly glanced at the contents of the secret letter. It was generally consistent with the information provided by the Minister of Personnel. In some places, he made some additions, which were things that even the Minister of Personnel had no access to.
Putting down the secret letter, Sun Gusheng said calmly: "Once you take this step, there is no turning back."
The move of "black under the lamp" is a risky move.
But right now, this move is a helpless choice.
If Sun Yanlu really wants to withdraw from Kyoto, then the counterattack plan will have to be considered in the long term.
Gu Xiaotian smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. Whether this move is a good move or a bad move, you will know for yourself."
The night passed smoothly.
On the second day, Sun Yanlu issued several statements.
The ancient family in Kyoto has completely become history, while the Yang family has been promoted to a high position.
At first, the Yang family wanted to refuse. They didn't care whether they were first or not. They just wanted to protect the last three-quarter acre of land in Kyoto. But last night, Sun Yanlu went to the Yang family in person and only knew that he was in Yang's house. I stayed home until late at night before leaving with satisfaction.
The common people didn't say anything about this. Little people couldn't get involved in the affairs of big people.
Secondly, Sun Yanlu also personally declared that Sun Gusheng was not dead. If anyone found traces of Sun Gusheng and reported it to him, he would be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold.
This news quite surprised the people.
Now Sun Gu's life and death, in fact, can no longer decide anything.
The people had already advised themselves that in the general situation of the world, no king could ever sit on the throne for a long time. Now that Sun Yanlu is the king, they will listen to Sun Yanlu, and they will listen to whoever is the king in the future.
Some people sneered at Sun Yanlu's attempt to drive Sun Gusheng away to death. After all, they were all members of the Sun family, bleeding the same blood, so how could they be so ruthless?
But most people think that this matter is reasonable. After all, sitting in that position, if the person in the past had not died, he would definitely not be able to sit peacefully. There are even a small number of people secretly discussing to see if they can really to find traces of Sun Gusheng in exchange for ten thousand taels of gold.
In today's Kyoto, everything seems to be calm on the surface. It's just a different owner sitting on the dragon's throne.
The news was quickly brought to the Secret Detective Division Ange. After hearing this, Sun Gusheng just smiled and said: "It's a reasonable thing. If I don't die, how can he feel at ease?"
After that, he turned to look at Gu Xiaotian and said apologetically: "After all, the Gu family has been implicated."
Gu Xiaotian waved his hand, indicating that it was no big deal.
Guan Jing didn't know much about the affairs between the Kyoto families, so he asked: "Why did the Yang family directly agree to Sun Yanlu like this? Did the Yang family have this plan from the beginning?"
Gu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "It's unlikely. I know what Uncle Yang is like. He doesn't seem like someone who can do this."
Since the incident in Kyoto, Gu Xiaotian has indeed not visited the Yang family.
First, because he is already at the forefront of the storm, and the Gu family and the Yang family have been friends for many years, so naturally he cannot draw the fire to them at this moment.
Secondly, it is because of trust. 33
The only big aristocratic families in Kyoto are the Gu and Yang families, and the Peng family has long been excluded. However, besides these, there are many smaller aristocratic families.
These aristocratic families are basically just outsiders. After the incident, they immediately expressed their stance that they would side with Sun Yanlu.
Some small aristocratic families are stubborn and scornful of Sun Yanlu's actions. However, Sun Yanlu did not express his position publicly, but in private, those small aristocratic families who were just sitting on the wall would inevitably cause obstacles to other small aristocratic families, so their lives It wasn't too good either.
Gu Xiaotian rubbed his head and said: "Such a big thing happened in Kyoto, but Brother Yang didn't come back. I'm worried that something went wrong."
Yang Yang, the young master of the Yang family, has been guarding Yanyun on the border since he left Kyoto. He actually belongs to the same system as the border army.
However, life at the frontier is better than at the frontier.
But Kyoto is in chaos now. Even if Yang Yang is slow, judging by the time, he should be back long ago.
Unless the news is completely blocked, or the Yang family is completely put to a knife at its neck.
No one knows what happened in the Yang family last night.
But in short, it will definitely not be a good thing for the Yang family.
In the Secret Investigation Department's Secret Pavilion, Gu Xiaotian and the others had nothing to do. The only thing they could do now was wait.
In the afternoon, the door of the Secret Investigation Department's Ange was opened again. A subordinate walked up to Sun Gusheng and whispered: "Your Highness, Sun Yanlu just summoned officials from six departments."
Nowadays, in the six departments, except for the Minister of the Ministry of Justice who was killed by Gu Xiaotian with a sword and is temporarily represented by the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, the other ministers are still the same.
Sun Gusheng asked: "What did you hear talking about?"
The subordinate shook his head, "I don't dare to get close. I only know that after leaving the Yangxin Hall, the Minister of Libu and the Minister of Hubu had a brief exchange, and they seemed to be arguing about something."
He is also the official minister.
Among the six currently, he is the most active.
This person who is most afraid of death is currently pulling allies everywhere, and his purpose can be understood without thinking too much.
Just being able to survive is actually just the most basic thing for the Minister of Civil Affairs. On top of this, he naturally wants to keep his position.
After working hard all his life, he didn't want to end up making a wedding dress for someone else.
Sun Gusheng thought for a moment and said, "I've been paying more attention to the Minister of Civil Service recently, and I always feel that there are some problems with it."
The subordinate nodded and took the order.
Gu Xiaotian asked quietly: "Are you worried that Sun Yanlu is using the official book to fish?"
Sun Gusheng nodded and said: "With Sun Yanlu's personality, it is unlikely that he would tolerate such a person still living beside him, but the problem lies precisely in this. There are still many people in the official department who are worthy of big posts, and there are even many people. They all wanted to go up, and Sun Yanlu only needed to be a favor to make those people work for him wholeheartedly, but he did not do so."
"He has won what he wanted. Now should be the best opportunity to clean up the government and eradicate those dissidents. However, he has yet to take action. Today, he suddenly made an appointment with officials from the six ministries. It was more like he was working for the officials. Ministers create opportunities.”
Sun Gusheng took out the secret letter and glanced at it, "I'm a little worried now. All of this was expected by Sun Yanlu. He just set a trap for us to get in."
Gu Xiaotian said thoughtfully: "What we see on the surface is probably just what he wants us to see."
Sun Gusheng rubbed his chin and said nothing.
He always felt that there was something weird about it, but he really couldn't think of it or say what was weird about it.
Unless he was thinking in the wrong direction from the beginning.
Is it possible that Sun Yanlu wants something more than just the chair?
…
…
After the Minister of Libu left the palace, he did not return directly to his own house, but went around to the house of the Minister of Works.
The Minister of Works was not surprised by the arrival of the Minister of Officials. Before the Minister of Officials could speak, he refused: "I can't help you with what you want to do."
Among the six ministers, the minister of the Ministry of Industry is the most honest one. He doesn't care who is on the chair, he only cares about the things on hand that have not yet been repaired.
The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel scratched his face and said anxiously: "Old Gong, we all entered the court in the same year, why don't you give me such a small amount of face?"
Gong Shangshu snorted coldly, ignored him, and waved directly to see the guests off.
The Minister of Libu was very helpless after being rejected.
Sun Yanlu summoned them to the palace today, and everything he said was very ordinary. It probably meant that the six tribes should help each other as usual.
But these words were much more harsh to the ears of the official minister, who had a ulterior motive in his heart.
After leaving the palace, he tried to find ways to win over the Minister of Hubu. Unexpectedly, the Minister of Hubu was now bent on working for Sun Yanlu. He was even more angry at the Minister of Libu who wanted to win over him, but in the end he still wanted to be an official. Out of friendship, I gave him a kind reminder but did not expose it directly.
Today's Minister of Civil Affairs is a lonely tree, and he returned to his mansion in despair.
He returned to the door of his mansion in a carriage, feeling a little depressed for some reason.
He stood in front of the door for a while, sniffed with the tip of his nose, and smelled the smell of blood.
Gently pushing the door open, the courtyard was filled with corpses, and Sun Yanlu was sitting on a chair in the center of the courtyard, with his hands folded up, but there was still a lot of bright red on his robe.
Just as the official wanted to turn around and leave, the way back was blocked.
Sun Yanlu smiled and said, "What's wrong? When you betrayed me, didn't you think about today?"
The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel quickly knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing: "Your Majesty, I deserve to die, I deserve to die!"
Sun Yanlu looked coldly at the official minister begging for mercy, but did not take action directly, but asked: "Where is Sun Gusheng now?"
The Minister of Civil Affairs was stunned, but he couldn't say the word "I don't know".
If he said it, he would probably be a corpse the next second.
"I'll give you three days to find out the whereabouts of Sun Gusheng, otherwise you will be like the servants like you."
Sun Yanlu slowly stood up from the Imperial Master's chair, walked straight past the Minister of Staff, and left leisurely.
The Minister of Civil Affairs was already wet with sweat, and it took a long time before he dared to get up.
He rubbed his aching knees and sighed helplessly. It seemed that his position was destined to be lost, so he had no choice but to escape for his life.
The Minister of Civil Affairs had just walked into the room and was about to take away all his savings when he heard footsteps.
He quickly looked up and saw a voluptuous woman holding a large bundle of banknotes in her hand. She asked in a charming voice: "Is Master Shangshu looking for these?"
Some people died, but not completely...
