Looking up at Sun Shenxing, Gao Panlong asked, "Sun Chengzong is indeed a good fit, but how do we handle other matters? We can't just recommend him to the cabinet, right?"

Glancing at Gao Panlong across from him, Sun Shenxing gently stroked his beard. His face was serious, and he spoke in a low voice, "There's actually a solution. At this point, the situation has reached a point where we have to resort to drastic measures."

In fact, in Sun Shenxing's opinion, if Gao Panlong had listened to Han Yu earlier, how could he be in this situation today?

From the very beginning of the case, don't think about protecting anyone, but just do what Your Majesty wants, punish whoever should be punished.

His Majesty's decision to hand over the case to the Three Courts was actually a test for everyone. However, in this test, everyone disappointed His Majesty.

When Yang Lian and others were captured and taken to the East Factory, according to what Han Yu said, it would be time to take drastic measures.

In the end, no one did so and continued to protect Yang Lian and the others.

As a result, the situation began to get out of control.

If we want to cut off our wrist now, we must resort to more drastic measures.

Hearing what Sun Shenxing said, Gao Panlou's face suddenly showed a hint of joy.

This was the nicest thing he had heard in all these days.

And from his understanding of Sun Shenxing, he knew he wasn't a boastful person. When he said that before, he was telling Sun Shenxing, "It's fine if you want to seize power, and it's fine if you want me to help you, but there's one thing you have to do. You can get through this difficult time, but you also have to help us get through it."

Now it seems that Sun Shenxing really has a way.

Gao Panlong couldn't help but ask anxiously, "What should I do?"

Sun Shenxing stroked his beard and said with a smile, "The current situation is very difficult. His Majesty no longer trusts us. The cases of Zou Yuanbiao, Yang Lian, and others are already irrefutable. It is difficult to change them. Since there is no way to break the deadlock here, let's try another approach and approach from another angle. Perhaps we will have unexpected results."

Gao Panlong was confused and asked, "So what should we do?"

"It's very simple actually. Besides, when they formed a clique for personal gain, they committed a very important crime, which was that they allowed Fang Congzhe to go free. In order to investigate this matter, the Jinyiwei has brought Fang Congzhe to Beijing. It's very clear what His Majesty wants to do. His Majesty intends to re-investigate the Red Pill case." Sun Shenxing said expressionlessly.

After hearing what Sun Shenxing said, Gao Panlong's eyes lit up, and he felt as if he had suddenly realized something. He said with a little excitement, "Where should we start?"

Sun Shenxing nodded, and without waiting for Gao Panlong to urge him, he immediately spoke: "Now the other party is standing on a high ground and accusing us, which is very disadvantageous to us. So we have to drag them into the water, so that the water will be muddy. When the water is muddy, many things will be easier to handle. This is the principle of "fishing in troubled waters."

"We can have someone submit a memorial to impeach Fang Congzhe and Li Kezhuo. The charges must be serious, accusing them of colluding with the harem and plotting treason and regicide. Once this news gets out, it will inevitably cause an uproar.

"A lot of news in the court will be suppressed, and those who want to target us will not be able to make any waves. Using a bigger incident to suppress the current situation is the best way."

"At the same time, they also intentionally or unintentionally implicated several cabinet ministers in the case, especially the cabinet's chief minister, Liu Yijing. This way, the cabinet ministers will have no time to target us. They need to explain their own affairs first."

"Compared to our charge of forming a clique for personal gain, their charge of regicide is even greater. Furthermore, this time, the harem must be implicated. Isn't Concubine Zheng still alive? Using her as an example will allege that she colluded with foreign officials to regicide."

Gao Panlong glanced at Sun Shenxing. He had never realized from the beginning to the end that Sun Shenxing was so cruel!

Once this case is exposed, how many people will be involved?

He even wants to extend his hand into the harem?

This is simply playing with fire. If you don't play it right, you will end up burning yourself.

But Sun Shenxing didn't care. He felt that his plan would definitely succeed.

The reason is very simple. The main issue this time is not a case, but the ranking of all personnel in the court after the new emperor ascends the throne, especially the re-ranking of important positions.

Some people want to go up, and some people want to come down.

But now there are many people who do not know the current situation. Not only do they not want to step down themselves, they also want to promote their own party members and push all of their party members up.

The Donglin Party became the target of public criticism and the first to be exposed precisely because of this reason. Of all the people, the Donglin Party was the one who caused the most damage in this matter.

Although Your Majesty is dealing with the Donglin Party, in fact, Your Majesty will not let go of those people in the cabinet, but the time has not come yet to deal with them.

If I pull these people off the battlefield now, His Majesty will definitely agree and take the opportunity to deal with them.

In this way, Sun Shenxing bought himself a chance to catch his breath.

At the same time, let Your Majesty know that we are useful and we are willing to listen to you and work hard.

In this way, I have room to survive, and Your Majesty will definitely not pursue me relentlessly. In the end, both sides will suffer losses, but a balance will be reached.

As for reaching out to the harem, it is to give Your Majesty an opportunity to clean up the harem and see if Your Majesty has this intention.

If Your Majesty has this intention, then he will definitely seize this opportunity; if Your Majesty does not have this intention, then it doesn't matter.

Seeing Gao Panlong staring at him without saying anything, Sun Shenxing continued, "Once things get out of hand, the court will need a highly respected figure to preside over this matter. At the very least, they should conduct a thorough investigation and clear the injustices of some people."

"When the time comes, we will strongly promote Sun Chengzong. Sun Chengzong is your majesty's teacher and has your majesty's trust. There will be no problem for him to get this position."

"In the trial of the entire case, we must be strict and severe. Whether it is our people or others, as long as they are implicated, they will all be dealt with severely and strictly, establishing an image of Sun Chengzong as upright and impartial."

"The current situation is that our people are inside, and their people are watching the fun from above. As long as we can lure them in, even if we kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of our own, it will be a good thing for us."

"If we don't bring them in, then no matter how many we kill, it's us who will be killed in the end. Only by making them feel the pain will they behave themselves."
