After Cui Yang said it in detail, Li An was furious and said: "These rebels are so bold. Young Master, what do you say you should do? ‘

Lu Jingzhong squinted his eyes and thought for a while, and asked, "Master Cui, you said that this person did not ask to save his subordinates?" ‘

Cui Yang said respectfully: "Yes, Huo Jicheng is not only not in a hurry to save people, but seems to want us to kill them, so as not to doubt the relationship between them in the future." ‘

Lu Jingzhong sneered: "This person is really ruthless, but this also shows that he is Huo Jicheng, I know some things about Huo Jicheng, from the confessions of those disciples of the Splendid League, I learned that this person was born in Jiangmen, and he is a side disciple of the Li family in Sichuan. The Li family's big soul searcher is not a fair and honest kung fu, the most suitable for assassination and assassination, and later Dayong occupied Dongchuan, and most of Shuzhong returned to Southern Chu, Tang Gate took refuge in my Dayong, Li family took refuge in Southern Chu, but this Huo Jicheng was eccentric, but broke out of the door, founded the Splendid Alliance, and claimed to restore Shu, these years really let him do some things, but unfortunately this person's popularity is narrow, and Lu Hou in Shu is handsome, so he has failed again and again, but although this person is incompetent, he has a strength, he is ruthless, when he is broken, So although the Splendid League has repeatedly failed miserably, it still retains its vitality, the situation in Southern Chu has been chaotic recently, he must have taken a lot of advantage, but he suffered a big loss in the hands of the prince, and it is rare that he can come up with this idea, in the opinion of the minister, he is sincere, no matter what the future holds, this business is worth doing, he has a good saying, in the future, he will publicize it, who can believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will collude with them, if the prince wants to do this business, he will immediately execute all the rebels of the Splendid Alliance in the prison, And then cooperate with Huo Jicheng, now the Splendid Alliance is no matter how strong it is, does he dare to embarrass our Dayong, that is, he really raised troops to rebel, and it is also a matter of King Yong and King Qing, just to reduce their troops, besides, His Royal Highness has almost been unable to make ends meet in recent years, this business is worth it, that is, there will be an accident in the future, His Royal Highness only needs to say that the Splendid Alliance colluded with some officials, and then cut off a few heads. ‘

Li An pondered for a moment, looked at Cui Yang and said: "This matter is too implicated, if it leaks out, I am afraid that the household department will turn the sky upside down, why don't Cui Qing take responsibility, no, no." ‘

Cui Yang Tieqing's face relaxed, and he looked at Li An gratefully, but although Li An said this, his expression was very reluctant.

Lu Jingzhong smiled faintly and said: "Although Liang Jinqian, the head of the household department, is a confidant of His Royal Highness, but this person has different aspirations, although he will be respectful to His Highness, but he has secretly recorded an account book of His Highness's embezzlement of public funds from the household department over the past few years, this, Your Highness may not know yet, right?" ‘

Li An's body was shocked, and he asked urgently, "Are you true?" How do you know? ‘

Lu Jingzhong said proudly: "Your Highness, as the saying goes, the old husband and young wife are the most uneasy, Liang Jinqian has been cautious all his life, but it is a pity that he married a concubine in his twenties at the age of fifty, and it is inevitably a little difficult to deal with, this woman is very popular, and he has an affair with Lord Liang's brother-in-law, but unfortunately the two of them are not secret, they were caught and annihilated in bed by Lord Liang, and in a fit of anger, they killed this woman with a cane, but the brother-in-law can only be driven out and not allowed to come to the door. That kid had a grudge, and it happened that he and I knew each other, so he went to my house to tell the truth, and I said that I was originally going to tell His Highness about it, but His Highness was enjoying the song and dance, so he didn't have time to tell him. ‘

Ang Lee's face sank like water, and he asked, 'Do you have any evidence?' ‘

Lu Jingzhong stood up and stepped forward to present a piece of paper, Li An took it and took a look, it was indeed the account of his own embezzlement of money and food at the household department, when it was used, and when it had to be clear. Li An stood up safely and said angrily: "What an old minion, His Highness is going to take his dog's life." ‘

Lu Jingzhong said with a smile: "This is that kid secretly copied some as evidence, originally the minister wanted to settle this Liang Jinqian is very easy, as long as His Royal Highness has a heart, we can take back the account book, kill people and kill people, but the minister thinks it is too cheap for him, now is a good opportunity, let's let Lord Cui do this matter, but secretly do something, if the business goes well, then it is the best, let's settle accounts with him afterwards, if something unfortunately happens, we will let him take the blame, when the time comes, His Royal Highness only needs to arrange it well, keep him can't tell the truth, Then Master Cui was naturally promoted to Shangshu, and this household is the treasury of His Royal Highness? ‘

When Li An heard this, he laughed and said, "Good idea, Lu Aiqing, you are really a lonely brainchild." A fierce light flashed in his eyes, and Li An said coldly: "But let me watch him strictly, I can't let him detect Lone's intentions, and I can't let him give the account book to others." ‘

Lu Jingzhong said solemnly: "Your Highness, don't worry, aren't you still at ease when the ministers do things?" ‘

Ang Lee suddenly remembered something and asked, 'What about the snitch?' ‘

Lu Jingzhong said lightly: "It's always a disaster for this person to stay, and the minister is bold, and he has already dealt with it first." ‘

Li An nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, this person knows the king's **, how can he let him live in the world." ‘

Cui Yang was overjoyed when he heard that he was asked to take over as the head of the household department, but when he heard the two of them talking about framing and killing, he didn't have the slightest emotional fluctuation, and he couldn't help but feel cold in his heart, and said in his heart, I don't want to listen here, if I know any secrets, it won't be worth it to be killed again in the future. Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "Your Highness, Lord Lu, it's too late, the minister is going to retire, if His Highness agrees to this matter, the minister will go back and wait for Huo Jicheng to come." ‘

Lu Jingzhong thought to himself, there are important things to discuss below, and it is okay for him to leave, so he said: "Your Highness, it is better for Lord Cui to go back, lest the people in the Splendid Alliance go to inquire, Your Highness might as well let Lord Cui agree to this matter first, and the specific matters will be discussed with Lord Cui by Ming Yuechen." As he spoke, he made a look at the prince.

Li An knew that Lu Jingzhong still had something private to say when he saw it, and it was inconvenient for Cui Yang to know, so he smiled and said: "Okay, Cui Yang, you go back first, and after the discussion, Lord Lu will go and talk to you in detail, but this matter has been agreed by the king in principle, so you should also think about how to proceed." ‘

Cui Yang led the order to retreat. Li An looked at Lu Jingzhong and said with a smile: "What else is there, let's talk about it, is it important to hide it from Cui Yang?" ‘

Lu Jingzhong twisted his beard and sneered: "Your Highness, although the household department is your world, most of the military's power is still in the hands of King Yong, and it is also because of this that we can't do this business by ourselves and let the Splendid Alliance run errands, but if the military notices this, no matter how powerful the Splendid Alliance is, can he still fight King Yong?" ‘

Li An frowned and asked, "Isn't it possible that this business can't be done?" ‘

Lu Jingzhong shook his head and said, "How can this be done? The minister has an idea, if King Yong can be able to take care of His Royal Highness's affairs, His Royal Highness will not be as stable as Mount Tai, although if something happens, we have a substitute for the dead ghost, but it is inevitable to lose gold and silver. ‘

Li An's eyes lit up when he heard this, and said, "Do you have any way to make King Yong take care of himself, if you can do this, even if you don't do this business, you will be satisfied."

Lu Jingzhong said with a smile: "This is also a coincidence, His Royal Highness wants Xiahou Yuanfeng to be Princess Changle's concubine, but the princess never agrees, so the minister asked Concubine Lan to ask Concubine Ji Guifei about the princess's heart, yesterday the minister came to the house, Concubine Lan told the concubine Niangniang's original words, saying that Princess Changle didn't seem to want to remarry, the minister thought that if the princess didn't want to remarry, it would be fine, anyway, no one could get cheap, so the minister didn't take it to heart, Concubine Lan also said a few things by the way, first, Princess Changle said that she didn't have any preferences, I just like to read poetry, and I like the poems of Jiang Zhe, the first genius of Southern Chu, the most, and I can't release the volume, second, yesterday, Princess Changle went to the Yongwang Mansion to relax, and she was in a good mood when she came back. ‘

Li An frowned and said, "You mean that Princess Changle has a personal affair with that Nanchu minister, nonsense, I know my sister, she is the most virtuous, and she will never have a personal affair with anyone." ‘

Lu Jingzhong said with a smile: "The minister also knows that this is something that can't even catch a shadow, but as long as you add oil and vinegar, some people will naturally believe it." ‘

Li An's expression moved, and he said, "You mean-"

Lu Jingzhong said with a smile: "Naturally, it is General Qin Qingqin, General Qin is very affectionate to the princess, and it has not changed so far, but the princess returned to China this time and was cold to the general, and she didn't miss her childhood sweetheart, General Qin was very angry, so she was very arrogant to the ministers of Southern Chu, and insulted Jiang Zhe in public in the Ganlu Palace, I heard that King Yong was very serious to this Jiang Zhe, which has offended King Yong, this is an opportunity, let's send someone to blow a few words of wind in General Qin's ear, just say that the princess has a personal relationship with Jiang Zhe in Southern Chu, That's why I ignored General Qin-'

As soon as he said this, Li An said angrily: "Shut up, my imperial sister married Nanchu for Dayong back then, and now she finally came back, don't say that she has no personal feelings, even if she has private affairs, you can't be allowed to insult the reputation of the princess." ‘

Lu Jingzhong was as cold as a cicada, and hurriedly knelt down to apologize, until Li An calmed down, and then said: "Your Highness, rest assured, the minister is a big bold, and he will not dare to hurt the princess's reputation, this matter will not leak out, Qin Qing just knows about this, does he dare to speak out, General Qin is reckless, he can't do this, if the minister is good, General Qin will definitely find an opportunity to question Jiang Zhe, we sent a killer to follow secretly, this matter is to catch the wind and catch shadows, then Jiang Zhe will definitely be able to explain clearly, and wait until General Qin is satisfied. Let's kill Jiang Zhe, this plan is of great benefit to us, first, no matter whether Jiang Zhe has talent or not, killing him now can make King Yong sad, second, King Yong must suspect that Qin Qing killed Jiang Zhe, in this way, even General Qin Yi can explain clearly, King Yong will inevitably be upset, in this way, King Yong is busy seeking justice with General Qin, where can he take care of us. ‘

Li An's face was cloudy and uncertain, hesitating, Lu Jingzhong said again: "The people related to this matter are all high and powerful, who will spread the gossip, besides, to put it mildly, although the princess is a meritorious person, but after all, she is the queen of Nanchu, the fall of Nanchu said, the princess is after the death of the country, in the past, Xi Shi contributed to Yue, but was still thrown into the lake by Queen Yue, the princess is only subject to a few gossip, what does it matter, besides, the princess and the eldest grandson concubine are inclined to King Yong, His Royal Highness is not unaware, Otherwise, why would you want Xiahou Yuanfeng to be the princess's concubine? ‘

Ang Lee was still silent.

Lu Jingzhong said with tears in his eyes: "Your Highness Shengming, at most, after His Highness ascends the throne, he will comfort the princess a lot, and if King Yong is not removed, His Highness will be uneasy." ‘

Li An thought about it, and finally sighed: "You have to be careful, don't spread it, if it reaches the ears of your father and sister, Lone will not spare you." ‘

Lu Jingzhong hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Your Highness let go, the lower officials will never let the rumors spread." ‘

Li An hesitated for a moment and said, "But this person must be in the Yongwang Mansion all the time, how can the assassin get in?" ‘

Lu Jingzhong said with a smile: "Your Highness, rest assured, after the fifteenth year, it will be King Yong's summoning banquet, and he will send his son to travel far away, according to the rules, it is inevitable to invite hundreds of officials, His Highness can rest assured, the minister will definitely let Qin Qing carry this black cauldron on his back, as for that Jiang Zhe, he can only blame his bad life, who let him take refuge in King Yong?" ‘

Li An nodded slightly, saw that the matter had been discussed, and shouted: "Xing Song, Xing Song." ‘

The door was pushed open, and a grim-looking middle-aged man walked in, kneeling on one knee and saluting.

Li An asked lightly: "Where did that Xia Jinyi go, and did he pass on the news to anyone?" ‘

Xing Song said respectfully: "Your Highness, Xia Jinyi first talked with the musician and Wuji about the tune for a while, and then-" Speaking of this, Li An frowned, with murderous aura in his eyes.

Xing Song continued: "Then this person went to the back garden and had a private meeting with the maid Xiuchun beside the princess. ‘

Li An was first relieved in his heart, this Xia Jinyi made a great contribution, and for the sake of his senior brother's face, he left him as a guard, originally just to raise an idler, but this person was humorous, able to speak, and better at singing and dancing, he felt that he really liked Xia Jinyi after a few days, but he couldn't keep people around him casually, just Cui Yang came to do things, so mysterious, if Xia Jinyi is a fine man, he must try his best to listen, the one who is guarding the door outside is Zhang Jinxiong, Xia Jinyi is not difficult to find an excuse to stay.

Unexpectedly, Xia Jinyi didn't have the heart to listen at all, but was busy fornicating with the maid, if he was a spy, then he would be the stupidest spy in the world, and a little more competent would not dare to do this kind of thing, if it was severely punished, the fornication maid could be killed with a cane, he was satisfied, he could keep him by his side in the future, he was a good slave, loyal and interesting, much better than his senior brother. As for the fornication maid, although Li An is also a little dissatisfied, but this is not a big deal, the embroidered spring next to the princess, although the appearance is good, but it is not outstanding, Li An has never paid attention to a girl, a few days ago, the princess also told herself that she wanted to let the maid around her go out to marry.

At this time, in the back garden of the prince's mansion, Xia Jinyi hugged a beautiful maid and was talking sweetly, he talked about his experience of drifting in all directions with great interest, and listened to a little girl who had never stepped out of the mansion one step into the house, Xia Jinyi said, while starting to move his hands and feet, he is a veteran of the love field, he will not be reckless to frighten the little girl, he gently kissed Xiuchun's pink neck, since biting her red earlobe, a pair of hands also began to be dishonest, moving in Xiuchun's delicate body, it didn't take long, It was easy to make the little girl who had no personnel confused, Xia Jinyi saw it, picked up the little girl's trembling delicate body, hid behind the rockery, and was untying Xia Jinyi's clothes, and when he was about to succeed, someone suddenly snorted coldly. Xia Jinyi was so frightened that he shivered, his lust immediately subsided, and he hurriedly tidied up his clothes, for a long time, there was no movement outside, Xia Jinyi stretched out his head, but saw his top boss, deputy manager Xing Song, standing outside, standing with his hands in his hands, with a frosty face under the moonlight. At this time, Xiuchun also came to his senses, hurriedly sorted out his clothes, walked out of the rockery with his head down, and fell to his knees on the ground, full of shame and crying. Xia Jinyi also hurriedly knelt down beside him, and begged bitterly: "Lord Steward, please spare the little one." ‘

Xing Song said coldly: "You kid dares to fornicate with the princess's maid, and you won't go with me to see His Royal Highness." ‘

Xia Jinyi's face turned pale with fright, and said: "The little one begs the adult for mercy, the villain is just a prodigal son, what is life and death, Xiuchun is young, beg the chief to forgive her this sin, and the little one will never dare to seduce her again in the future." ‘

Xing Song smiled and said: "You kid, get up, don't do it again in the future, go back, if I see it again, I will skin you." ‘

Xia Jinyi was overjoyed when he heard this, and thanked him again and again, until Xing Song's figure disappeared, and he realized that he had broken out in a cold sweat.

Cui Yang returned to the mansion, first ate some things indiscriminately, and then in a daze under the light, he knew that he and the prince were grasshoppers on the same line, if the prince fell, but he felt more and more frightened with the prince, but it was King Yong, Cui Yang remembered that he was sent food and salary to the army of King Yong, and King Yong summoned him. It feels like a spring breeze. Although the prince is the prince and his brother-in-law, he is arrogant and arrogant, and every time he makes himself break out in a cold sweat, he always feels like walking on thin ice. Thinking of this, Cui Yang almost wanted to betray the prince, but after thinking about it, the crown princess was his own sister, the prince was his nephew, and fame and fortune finally prevailed over conscience and fear, Cui Yang stood up and thought to himself, there was no turning back. Look at the sky, this back and forth, plus pondering for a long time, the sky has actually been brightened, Cui Yang pushed open the window, last night I don't know when it snowed, the snow outside the window is bright, Cui Yang walked out of the door, took a deep breath of cold air, at this time, the housekeeper came to say: "Lord Qiyu, yesterday the guest came to ask to see again." Cui Yang smiled slightly and said, "Please come to the study to see me, it's still early, presumably the guests don't have to eat, you send two breakfasts to the study." ‘

A loud laugh came from outside, "The grass people have come to disturb the adults again. ‘

Cui Yang looked up, but saw Huo Jicheng dressed in gray and with a graceful demeanor, standing in the wind, Cui Yang stepped forward a few steps, and arched his hand: "Brother Huo, no, Brother Ji, please go to the study to talk." ‘

Huo Jicheng saw that Cui Yang looked a little tired, but he couldn't hide his joy, so he knew that a good thing had been done, so he also returned the courtesy: "Okay, then bother." ‘

After that, the two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had been friends for many years. In the laughter, Huo Jicheng's mind flew far away, if he could get enough food and ordnance, then take advantage of the war between Dayong and Nanchu to restore the country and prosper the country. And Tianji Pavilion must be relied on, otherwise it will be difficult for him to move an inch in Nanchu, if he waits until the relationship is deep, he will want to annex Tianji Pavilion and pocket tens of millions of assets of Tianji Guild, even if he can't restore the country, he can also be a rich man. Cui Yang thinks much more simply, if the business is successful, he will not only have a lot of money, but also further gain the trust of the prince, and the future is bright.
