"Why should Lord Ning be so modest, I think you have already thought about this matter a long time ago."

Although Liu Zhongqing was saying with a smile, the disdain in his tone was undisguised.

Ning Hanru still wanted to play the game of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger in front of him, but he couldn't deal with Liu Zhongqing if he was really good.

Ning Hanru still looked the same as usual when he heard this: "Lord Liu said and laughed, this official only understands a little, and he is not as proficient as Lord Liu, otherwise, Lord Liu will not choose to cooperate with us." ”

Both laughed.

Ning Hanru lowered his head at the right time, and also concealed the fleeting light in his eyes.

This Liu Zhongqing is really a smart person, no wonder he can be Zaifu, but he hasn't been able to shake his position for so long.

However, he was not panicked, after all, he had chips in his hand, which was enough to threaten Liu Zhongqing.

Therefore, Ning Hanru is completely different from Lu Shen and Qi Ming's generation, they are attached to Liu Zhongqing, and they need to get help from him to occupy a place in this court.

But Ning Hanru has been deeply cultivated for many years, and the list of wealthy businessmen from the top and bottom of the Wu Dynasty in his hand alone is enough for him to spend his life rich and honorable.

"Lord Ning is polite, the matter of cutting off grain and grass still has to start with the court."

"What do you mean, Yang Tinghe?" Lu Shen asked back.

Liu Zhongqing stroked his beard and nodded: "Yang Tinghe is Si Nong Shaoqing, who is in charge of the treasury granary of the Wu Dynasty, and the supply of rice, grain, silver and money in the Wu Dynasty is approved by him. ”

"But...... Since he dared to report Su Tianyang, he was also a dead brain, if he wanted the other party to cooperate with our actions, I am afraid it would not be easy. Lu Shen frowned, this matter is really tricky.

"Lord Lu, you are wrong." Liu Zhongqing raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Oh?"

"In this world, there are two types of people who are easy to succumb, one is soft-boned, and the other is dead-headed." Liu Zhongqing said with a smile, his eyes fell on the tea cup on the table, and he took a small sip to moisten his throat.

Lu Shen's eyelids jumped, "What does Lord Liu mean......?" ”

The smile on Liu Zhongqing's face became more and more intense, with a hint of treachery: "How difficult it is to frame a Yang Tinghe who has no foundation in the capital, just find a reason to put him in the prison of the Criminal Department, just say that it is the handiwork of His Royal Highness the Prince, I think he will not dare to resist even if he dies at that time." ”

Ning Hanru and Lu Shen glanced at each other, both amazed at Liu Zhongqing's courage and strategy.

Yang Tinghe was summoned into the capital by His Royal Highness the Prince, and no one in the court dared to have anything to do with him, but Liu Zhongqing's move hit the lifeline!

"Lord Liu is wise!" Ning Hanru arched his hand and praised it respectfully, but he was thinking in his heart, what benefits did Liu Zhongqing gain by doing this?

At this time, destroying the prince's anti-Hungarian plan and helping the second prince to ascend the throne does not seem like a good deal.

It is said that heroes are born in troubled times, and Ning Hanru is not a fool, he does not believe that Liu Zhongqing is for the sake of saving the country and righteousness, but has other plans.

The crown prince is already a dying man, so why bother to move Yang Ting and this insignificant chess piece.

That can only show that Yang Tinghe's existence is blocking Liu Zhongqing's way.

If you want to come from Yang Tinghe, you must thoroughly investigate the discrepancies in the accounts of the Wu Dynasty over the years.

I'm afraid that Liu Zhongqing was worried that his collusion with the three Si Nongqing was discovered before, so he hurriedly wanted to get rid of Yang Tinghe!

However, he does have a way, after all, Yang Tinghe is just entering the career, and his foundation is still shallow, so what if he is suspicious? As long as he bites to death and does not admit it, who dares to take him how?

Ning Hanru in this life, in order to achieve his goal, it can be said that he racked his brains and worked hard, but whenever there is interest, he doesn't mind trying.

If Yang Tinghe died, it would only be good for him, and there would be no harm

"Lord Liu, if this thing is done, it is equivalent to pulling out the most important nail that the prince nailed in the court." Ning Hanru calmly explained, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

The corners of Liu Zhongqing's mouth raised, with a touch of smugness: "Yes, first pull out the prince's power in the court one by one, and let the prince lose his arm." ”

Liu Zhongqing squinted his eyes, revealing a bit of ambition.

In this game, he and Li Yunxing have been entangled for too long.

The fight was so entangled that Li Yunxing forgot what a terrible person Liu Zhongqing was, and how could he be willing to succumb to a hairy boy in his early twenties.

In the end, Liu Zhongqing's eyes fell on Lu Shen: "I don't know if Lord Lu is willing to help Liu." ”

This sentence, Liu Zhongqing said it to Lu Shen.

To kill Yang Tinghe, Lu Shen is definitely a good entry point.

Hearing Liu Zhongqing mention himself, Lu Shen was stunned, then stood up and saluted Liu Zhongqing with a fist: "Lu Shen is willing to follow Lord Liu and go to the soup to fight the fire." ”

Liu Zhongqing looked back at Ning Hanru again, this time let Ning Hanru come, the purpose of which does not need him to say more, I believe Ning Hanru also understands.

Sure enough, Ning Hanru stood up: "Ning Hanru is doing his own work as a dog and horse, Lord Liu, please rest assured, among the young mansions, the lower officials will also try their best to help." ”

Lin Chengyi of Shaofu was no longer credible, and in the marriage with Nanban, he chose to side with the prince at that time.

But Shaofu is the largest institution in the Wu Dynasty, and if there is no help, Liu Zhongqing will also be struggling.

So he set his sights on Ning Hanru, cunning, insidious, and even better at power, if he won over Ning Hanru, it would definitely be his sword in the future.

As for Qi Ming, he may not know until he dies, and today's meeting is to announce that his life will be handed over.

Although Liu Zhongqing would use the Xiongnu's envoys to take the opportunity to poison Li Yunxing.

But this Wu Dynasty will not fall apart because of the loss of a Li Yunxing, and the first thing Li Yuntian will do when he ascends the throne will be to thoroughly investigate the "assassination of the prince".

Just use the Xiongnu mission to fill his life, how can he convince Emperor Wu, how can he make the people of the world return to their hearts.

Among them, there must also be an important minister in the Wu Dynasty who came out to apologize.

That Qi Ming is the best candidate among them.

Da Honglu is in charge of Fanbang diplomacy, if he didn't know about it in advance, I'm afraid it's impossible.

It's just that Liu Zhongqing didn't expect Ning Hanru to be so aggressive, if Shaofu had a better candidate, Liu Zhongqing would not hesitate to dispose of Ning Hanru.

But now it's all too early.

What Liu Zhongqing has to do now is to win over the courtiers as much as possible.

The death of the crown prince is approaching, and when the time comes, Qi Ming will be pulled out to confess, and the second prince will seal his throat with a sword to block Youyou's mouth.

At that time, no matter how dissatisfied the courtiers are, they can only obey.

"Very good, very good." Liu Zhongqing smiled with satisfaction, picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip of tea, his eyes dark.
