In the evening of the next day, in order to celebrate the successful conclusion of the peace talks with the Northern Qi Dynasty, a grand dinner was held in the residence of the second prince.

Dozens of high-ranking officials of various ministries in important positions were invited to attend the scene, and for a while, the hall was full of laughter and laughter, staggering and changing cups, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Halfway through the dinner, accompanied by a melodious music, a group of thinly dressed glamorous dancers appeared, one by one dancing enchantingly, their eyes were like silk, and there were indescribable styles between the eyebrows and the corners of their eyes.

At the end of the song, these dancing girls not only did not leave, but came to the guest table one by one, only to see that they discussed in advance, and at the same time stumbled and unstable, and fell into the arms of the guests.......

Lu Sanxing, the head of the household department, put down the wine glass in his hand, hugged the two dancing girls beside him, and began to grope back and forth with his big fat hand like a pig's trotter, which made the two women laugh coquettishly.

He was already full of wine and food at this time, and after a while, he completely hooked up the desire in his heart, and originally wanted to go further and give these two beautiful women the Fa on the spot, but after all, he thought that this place was the mansion of His Royal Highness after all, and there were many people around him, so it was indeed not suitable for showing his majesty.

Thinking of this, he withdrew his hands rather boredly, and instead raised his glass and got up from the table, came to the center of the hall, and said in a loud voice to the guests:

"Everyone, everyone! Today, we are here to celebrate the success of the peace talks between His Royal Highness! Lu had the courage to propose, please join me in a glass of His Royal Highness, how about it?! ”

As soon as these words came out, the guests present echoed and raised their glasses together:

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness!"

The second prince, Liu Huan, also raised his glass and stood up from his seat, and he drank all the wine in the cup with a spring breeze on his face, as if he felt quite useful about this situation.

After everyone sat down again, Lu Sanxing turned around and bowed to Liu Huan deeply, and said impassionedly:

"Your Highness, Your Highness has sought peace for Wei and Qi for ten years this time, which is really a feat that is meritorious in the present and beneficial in the future! I, the people of Dawei, are fortunate to be blessed by His Royal Highness, which is really the blessing of the community and the blessing of the people! The admiration of the lower officials for the Second Highness is like a surging river......"

Lu Sanxing's sycophant shot a lot of incense, and the words of singing merit and praise were like a cannon, and everyone present was dumbfounded.

But what is even more admirable is that when he said this, his expression was sincere, and his tone was sincere, as if every word came from the bottom of his heart, without the slightest shame at all.

So much so that even Liu Huan himself was a little moved by what he said, and unexpectedly took the initiative to pick up the wine glass, wanting to toast Lu San Province with a glass.

"Lord Lu is serious, serious, Lone just did something within his bounds."

This time the three provinces of Lu are completely in spirit, he is determined to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and tonight he will take out his ability to press the bottom of the box.

I saw him drink the wine in the cup and continue to say loudly:

"Your Royal Highness is a prince, and you can be so humble and not arrogant, you are really a model for us. It's just that His Royal Highness gave this cup of wine, Lu really deserves it, if this is the case, Lu wrote a poem on the spot, which is to repay His Highness's love, but also to help all the adults here, how about it? ”

With that, he paced back and forth in the hall with his wine glass, quite like a literati and inkman.

After a while, Lu Sanxing finally stood still, and said loudly:

"The golden plate Su came to the special domain, and the jade bowl came out of the top.

Dense and indiscriminately inherited from God, and he was ashamed of his lack of virtue and praise Tao Tang. ”

As soon as this poem came out, everyone was shocked.

Good fellow, he actually compared a table full of delicacies to a gift from heaven, isn't it just a hint that the Third Highness is the person to whom the destiny of the third highness belongs? This fart is really a thousand turns, crisp and loud!

Everyone's hearts sighed with emotion, if there is a separate imperial examination for the way of sycophancy, this Lord Lu is definitely the leader of the leader!

Everyone saw that Lord Lu was out of the limelight, how could he be willing to live in the queen, so they also began to sing praises one after another.

All of a sudden, there were witty words and golden sentences, which really called a gathering of heroes and talents.

Just when the atmosphere in the hall was pushed to the climax by this word of you, a young man who looked like a scholar suddenly hurriedly pushed the door in.

The person who came was Qin Ji, Qin Gongyan.

At this time, I saw Qin Ji walking quickly to Liu Huan with a panicked expression, leaning over and whispering a few words, and then the two disappeared together in the hall.

Liu Huan led Qin Ji back to the study in the backyard.

Seeing that the subordinate in front of him, who had always been calm and calm, seemed to be out of proportion, Liu Huan couldn't help but feel a little suspicious, and he asked:

"Gongyan, why are you in such a hurry, what is the important thing to report to Lonely?"

Qin Ji quickly saluted and replied in a low voice:

"Your Highness, the big thing is not good, I just got the news that the Imperial Horse Division suddenly sent someone to Wang Hu's house, and the person should have been taken down at this time!"

There were so many guards in Liu Huan's mansion that it was impossible for him to remember everyone's names, so he couldn't remember who the "Wang Hu" in Qin Ji's mouth was for a while, so he asked again:

"Wang Hu? Who is Wang Hu? ”

"Your Highness, this Wang Hu is the guard in His Highness's mansion!"

Liu Huan's expression changed when he heard this, and he faintly felt a little bad in his heart, and he hurriedly asked:

"What? A lone guard? What did this man do? Why didn't the Imperial Horse Division take people overnight and not talk to Lonely? ”

Qin Ji's face was already extremely ugly at this time, he lowered his voice a little, and replied in a deep voice:

"This is the crux of the matter, according to our people in the Imperial Horse Division, this person is involved in the assassination of the Third Highness!"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Huan was immediately shocked, and said in disbelief:

"How is that possible?! How could the people around Lone be implicated in the assassination of the third brother? ”

"My subordinates have inquired, and it is said that Wang Hu has colluded with the remnants of the previous dynasty, and it was he who leaked the whereabouts of the Third Highness that day!"

Liu Huan sat down in his chair dejectedly, he never expected such a thing to happen, only to see him mutter:

"It's over, it's over, it's all over, the third brother was assassinated, and the emperor was already suspicious of me, and finally there was news from the Northern Qi side at this stall, and the father gave Gu a little bit of a good face, why did this happen again at this time! The person next to Gu is in a situation, and Lone's suspicion is naturally a little bigger, and now I can't tell why..... This..... How is this good?! ”

Qin Ji was obviously helpless about this, he pondered for a moment, and suddenly remembered someone in his heart.

"Your Highness, the matter has come to this point, and you can't be in a hurry, why don't you invite Mr. Su to come to the house first, Mr. is resourceful, and there will be a countermeasure in the future."

Hearing Qin Ji say Mr. Su's three words, Liu Huan suddenly came back to his senses, and his original languishing expression was also shaken up, as if he had grasped a straw to save the people, only to see him command repeatedly:

"Hurry up, please, hurry up, by the way, this matter is very important, you have to go and invite it yourself. Also, remember to be careful when coming and going, so as not to be discovered by others. ”

"Yes!"

Qin Ji bowed down and quickly left the study......

———————————————————————————————————————

After an hour of hard work, Qin Ji led an old man in a Confucian shirt back to the study, this old man was about in his early sixties, his demeanor was calm, and his bearing was extraordinary.

When Liu Huan saw Mr. Su arrive, he actually got up and stepped forward to greet him, which shows that this person has a great weight in his heart.

After Mr. Su bowed, he found a chair and sat down, and asked Qin Ji about what happened tonight.

After Qin Ji told everything, Mr. Su pondered for a moment and asked:

"Hmm...... It's a little difficult to do, to put it bluntly, do you know if Wang Hu has confessed now? ”

Qin Ji replied respectfully:

"Mr. Hui's words, Yu Ma Si is the person who took it not long ago, and it is estimated that he should have just entered Zhao Prison now, but with their methods, if Wang Huzhen is really involved in this matter, it won't take long for him to confess!"

Liu Huan on the side was obviously a little out of breath, he made a downward chopping motion with his hand, and said viciously:

"How's that for good? Otherwise......"

Mr. Su was still very calm, he waved his hand lightly, and said to His Royal Highness:

"Your Highness, don't be impatient, this matter is very involved, and you should not act rashly. According to the old minister, since the matter has come to this point, His Highness only needs to continue to treat it as if nothing has happened and wait for His Majesty to summon him. Anyway, let's get past the current level first........."

Before Mr. Su could finish speaking, Liu Huan hurriedly interjected:

"Sir doesn't know, I'm afraid this level is really unpassable. The third brother's assassination father has long been suspicious of me, if it wasn't for the lonely queen to move out, maybe he would have been punished a long time ago, and now this person named Wang Hu is involved in this matter again, and the father and emperor can't kill Gu alive after he knows about it? ”

Mr. Su shook his head slightly, signaling that Liu Huan didn't need to be so nervous, and he smiled:

"Hehe, Your Highness is too worried, Your Highness has made great contributions to Sheji before, Your Majesty still has to take care of the overall situation after all, and will not punish you with just one guard by your side. Therefore, the old minister dared to assert that His Royal Highness could still pass the current level. ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Huan relaxed a little, but after thinking about it, he felt that something seemed to be wrong, so he said tentatively:

"But sir, I'm afraid this is not a long-term solution......"

Mr. Su nodded.

"As His Highness said, if Your Majesty always keeps this matter in mind, even if Your Highness can be let go today, it won't be long before the old matter will be brought up again, eh...... The old minister has a plan that can temporarily divert His Majesty's attention and give His Highness a little respite. ”

Seeing that Mr. Su did have a solution, Liu Huan's eyes suddenly lit up, he hurriedly straightened his clothes, and said respectfully:

"Please sir."

Mr. Su narrowed his eyes, his fingers twisted his long beard, his eyes were full of light, and he said lightly:

"Your Highness should know that in the past few days, the court has been extremely controversial about the matter of cutting down Shu, and the main battle lord and the two parties have their own opinions, and even His Majesty can't make a decision for a while. However, if in the end the Great Wei decides to destroy Shu, then there is an urgent need for stability in the DPRK and China, so when the time comes for the army to start, His Majesty will most likely choose to put the matter on hold for the time being. I think that by the time the king triumphs, His Royal Highness should already have a perfect plan. Therefore, it is imperative that His Highness find every means to urge my Great Wei to destroy Shu in order to temporarily save the situation. ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Huan suddenly felt empowered, he breathed a long sigh of relief, turned his head and instructed Qin Ji:

"Sir's plan is very good, Gongyan, you will arrange for those imperial historians to go to the table in the next few days, and you will definitely ensure that my Great Wei will start a war against Shu!"

"No!"
