This is Ning Hanru's temptation.

He was already suspicious of Liu Zhongqing's relationship with the Xiongnu.

Liu Zhongqing's face turned blue, and his right hand was clenched into a fist, under the sleeve, clenched tightly.

"Lord Ning, what do you mean by that? Do you think that there is some collusion between Benxiang and those Hun barbarians! ”

Ning Hanru looked at Liu Zhongqing with a smile.

"Lord Liu's words are wrong, and the official is just cautious, after all, Lord Liu can be so confident that the second prince can negotiate with the Huns, if Lord Liu does not have hole cards in his hand, who can believe it?"

Lu Shen's eyes darkened, and he went back and forth between the two.

Yes, they are greedy, but they are greedy and have a bottom line.

If such a betrayal of the country and seeking glory spreads, it will be left with a stench for 10,000 years.

If Liu Zhongqing really had a secret relationship with the Huns, then they would become sinners spurned in the world.

"Lord Ning, I'm too worried." Liu Zhongqing calmed down for a while, and then regained his composure: "If Liu and the Xiongnu really had some shady deals, Liu would have given this country to the Xiongnu a long time ago, how could he wait until today?" Besides, if you really want to do anything with the Xiongnu, why bother trying your best to keep the Wu Dynasty, wouldn't it be better for the prime minister to collude with them inside and outside to kill Emperor Wu and seize the throne? ”

This Wu Dynasty, in addition to interests, has more honor and loyalty.

No matter how deep Liu Zhongqing's cooperation with the Xiongnu is, it is impossible to reveal half of it to outsiders, even his own son.

And Ning Hanru also understood this, so he would test it just now.

Ning Hanru's face improved slightly: "The so-called cooperation, the important thing is the word integrity, since Lord Liu is so frank, it is better to tell the inside story with a few of us, and it can be regarded as a peace of mind." ”

Ning Hanru said this, and Lu Shen also nodded.

Even Qi Ming, who has always supported Liu Zhongqing the most, couldn't help but stand on Ning Hanru's side.

Liu Zhongqing saw that the situation was not right, so he had to explain his plan and inventory.

"The matter of the Huns this time was provoked by the crown prince Li Yunxing alone, and Guo Mengsheng is just a chess piece for him in the final analysis."

Liu Zhongqing sighed, and his words were full of hatred: "It's really infuriating that the prince disregarded the comfort of the people for his own selfish desires...... Not only that, but the prince even wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the Huns attacking the Western Regions to rebel and usurp the throne! ”

"In the past, the prime minister was with the prince and the snake, and he did not tear his face with the prince, but this time, the prime minister decided that he could not tolerate it! Therefore, the plan of this prime minister is to dedicate the head of the crown prince and the taxes of the Wu Dynasty for three years to the Xiongnu Shan Yu, in exchange for the promise of the Xiongnu to withdraw the army. ”

Liu Zhongqing's plan made everyone gasp.

"Lord Yanagi, are you sure? Killing the prince is tantamount to rebellion, and the entire court will be implicated at that time! Lu Shen frowned.

"Benxiang naturally knows the stakes, but now the arrow has to be sent, so Benxiang is reluctant to tell you, this matter is borne by me Liu Zhongqing alone, if it weren't for Lord Ning's hard work, Benxiang would never say it." Liu Zhongqing waved his hand and motioned for Lu Shen to relax.

"How can I rest assured about this, if I find out about Lord Liu's head, then even if the entire Liu family, including the queen mother, will be implicated, Your Majesty will be even more angry, and I am afraid that the entire Wu Dynasty will not be spared at that time!" Qi Ming shook his head, looking worried.

Liu Zhongqing snorted coldly, full of sarcasm: "Naturally, it will not be done by the prime minister himself." ”

"Half a month later is the prince's birthday, when all the countries come to congratulate, the government and the opposition sing and dance, and it is also the time when the prince relaxes his vigilance the most." The corners of Liu Zhongqing's mouth floated with a cold arc.

"However, Lord Liu, as far as the minister knows, the prince's side is full of masters, and he wants to quietly take away the prince's head...... I'm afraid it's not that simple, right? ”

Liu Zhongqing smiled lightly, but he didn't explain too much: "Lord Ning, you don't know the prince. ”

It is true that the prince has both the forbidden army and the secret guards around him, as well as the embroidered royal history of martial arts, but if the prince wants to play in the water with other women, I am afraid that the guards who are ten times more will not be able to stop him.

These things need not be said to be listened to with them.

"That's all the Prime Minister can say, and now the Prime Minister has already taken the risk of killing his head to discuss with you, I hope you will not live up to the trust of the Prime Minister, if the matter is revealed, the Prime Minister will never live alone, and your lords will also be connected to the Nine Clans." Liu Zhongqing's words concealed a lot of murderous aura, obviously not a joke.

Everyone was suddenly silent, unable to say a word.

At least from Fang Cai Liu Zhongqing's words, it is not difficult to hear that he has already moved to kill.

Killing the prince is a catastrophe, but it is also a great temptation.

The crown prince has now taken over the command of the entire forbidden army, and has secretly taken over the military power of the northwest battalion.

If you take advantage of the opportunity of the Xiongnu to attack this time, weaken the strength of several other large battalions, and even take back the military power for various reasons, it must be even more difficult to move the prince again in the future.

Thinking about those colleagues who died under Li Yunxing, Lu Shen couldn't help but shudder.

When the prince was in his infancy, he was already so ruthless, if he sat on the world, I am afraid they would all suffer!

"Lord Ning......" Lu Shen hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "Then what is the second thing you want to say?" ”

This opening is to show that he is willing to surrender to Liu Zhongqing.

Qi Ming glanced at Lu Shen, his eyes flickering, as if he wanted to see through him.

It is precisely because Qi Ming is a great Honglu that he knows better about the diplomatic relations between countries, although they help each other on the surface, but behind the scenes, they are deceitful and wary of each other, even if they are fathers and sons, there are times when they kill each other.

But now, Qi Ming can't see clearly whether it is good or bad to support the second prince to ascend to the throne.

It was different from Lu Shen's compromise and Qi Ming's hesitation, but Ning Hanru's expression was affirmative.

"Come to think of it, Lord Liu's second thing is to cut off the prince's grain and grass, right?" Ning Hanru asked.

Lu Shen glanced up at Ning Hanru in surprise, but he didn't expect him to guess it.

"It is worthy of being a mutual market supervisor, and he is sensitive to money, Lord Ning is really powerful!" Liu Zhongqing glanced at Ning Hanru appreciatively.

Ning Hanru is not an ordinary person, it can be seen from his aggressiveness, all these years, he has been secretly running his own business, not only Emperor Wu, but even Liu Zhongqing did not realize that he had raised so many people in the dark, if it weren't for this incident, Ning Hanru would continue to hibernate.

Ning Hanru lowered his eyes modestly: "This official is also blind, Lord Liu, how are you going to proceed with this matter?" Do you need our officer's cooperation with you? ”
