Volu conantly, Li An stated, “These rebels, they have such gall! Junior Mentor, what do you think we should do?”

Lu Jingzhong squinted his eyes as he mulled this matter over for a moment before he asked, “Cui daren, you said that this person did not ask for his subordinates back?”

Cui Yang respectfully replied, “Yes, that’s right Huo Jicheng not only was not anxious to rescue his people, but it seemed like he wanted the suspicious of our relationshi+p”

Lu Jingzhong sneered “That man indeed possesses a fierce and vicious heart However, this also illustrates that he is exactly Huo Jicheng I know so From the statements of the disciples of the Embroidered Union, we have learned that the person hails froenerals and is a member of an ancillary branch of the Li Fa with the Tang Sect over control of Sichuan, concluding with the Li Fa Sect enfeebled When Great Yong attacked the Kingdom of Shu, both parties were powerless to help Otherwise, even if we had conquered the Kingdo officers would have been assassinated Neither the Tang Sect’s concealed weapons nor the Li Fa Hand are honorable and aboveboard martial arts; instead they areoccupied the Hanzhong region, while a large part of Sichuan ended up in the hands of Southern Chu, the Tang Sect pledged its allegiance to Great Yong, while the Li Faed itself to Southern Chu It was precisely this Huo Jicheng as exceedingly queer, instead breaking away and establishi+ng the Edom of Shu

“Over these last few years, he has indeed had some accomplishments Unfortunately, this man’s temperament is narrow-minded and Marquis Lu who is stationed at Sichuan has the ability of a great general Therefore, he has suffered repeated setbacks But although this ood aspect He is vicious anddecisions when it’s tih the Embroidered Union has repeatedly suffered terrible and crushi+ng defeats, it still has th With the recent chaos in Southern Chu, presues Recently, he suffered a great setback at the hands of the Crown Prince It’s rare that he would think of this kind of idea In this subject’s view, he has coardless of what happens in the future, this business proposition is worth considering He spoke a sentence that was correct In the future if he were to make this matter public, ould believe that the Crown Prince would collaborate with them? If the Crown Prince wants to do this business, then you must immediately execute all of the rebels of the E with Huo Jicheng Even if one day the Embroidered Union becos difficult for our Great Yong? Even if he were to raise an ar and Qi, while also reducing the strength of their arhness’s income practically does not cover our expenditures This business is worth it Even if there is a hness can excuse what happened as the actions of so with the E will be resolved once a few heads have been chopped off”

Li An pondered over this , he spoke, “This ed, I’m afraid that the Ministry of Revenue will fall into chaos Wouldn’t subject Cui be forced to take responsibility? This won’t do, this won’t do”

Cui Yang’s ashen coradually relaxed Gratefully, he looked at Li An However, although Li An said these words, his expression was filled with extrehed and said, “Although the Minister of Revenue Liang Jinqian seehness’s confidant, in reality he has different ahly deferential to Your Ihness, he has secretly recorded an account of the public funds that Your Ihness has embezzled frohness does not yet know of this”

Li An’s entire body tre, “Do you speak the truth? How did you learn this?”

Lu Jingzhong rose to his feet, stepping forward and presenting a piece of paper Li An accepted the paper and took a look On the paper was really an account of the rain that he had e the date used and the date returned, both extreood old flunky This Prince is deter smiled and replied, “This is only what that little fellow stealthily copied down to serve as proof Originally, this subject would have easily taken care of that Liang Jinqian So long as Your Highness puts your mind to it, ill be able to easily steal the accounts and kill hi these secrets However, this subject feels that this lets hiood opportunity We will let Cui s If this business goes off without a hitch, then that is for the best We can have a reckoning with hi unfortunate happens, then we can have hihness needs only to uarantee that he won’t be able to reveal the truth Afterwards, Cui hts promoted to Minister of Revenue By then, the Ministry of Revenue will be Your I to this point, Li An laughed heartily and stated, “A good plan Subject Lu, you are indeed our think tank” An olint flashed in Li An’s eyes before he coldly said, “However, keep a strict eye on hiive his accounts to sohtforwardly asked, “Your Ihness be at ease Are you not co ofand asked, “Where is that infor indifferently responded, “That person would always be a scourge left alive This subject has taken the initiative and has already taken care of him”

Pleased, Li An nodded his head and replied, “Not bad That person had learned this Prince’s secrets, so how can he be allowed to continue to re that he hi’s face was originally lit up with delight But when he heard the two talk about entrapping and killing Liang Jinqian, his state of htest bit of fluctuation However, he could not help but grow cold In his heart, he realized that he should no longer continue listening If he had learned any secrets, then it wouldn’t be worth it if he was killed to be prevented fro of this, he prohness, Lu daren, the hour is already quite late, this subject should withdraw If Your Io back and wait for Huo Jicheng to coht to himself, There are some important matters that need to be discussed, it would be better if he departed</eood if Cui frohness, how about we first allow Cui ards to the specific arrangeo discuss them with Cui daren” At the salance

Once he saw Lu Jingzhong’s glance, Li An immediately knew that he had some private secrets to discuss that would be inconvenient for Cui Yang to know about So back first After we’ve discussed this, Lu o speak to you in detail However, this Prince has already agreed to this matter in principle You should properly think over how to start out on this task”

Cui Yang accepted the order before he withdrew Li An looked at Lu Jingzhong He inquired with a smile, “Are there any other ? Is it ier to twirl his whiskers, Lu Jingzhong sneered, “Your Is to you, more than half of theIt is because of this that we cannot do this business on our own and must allow the Embroidered Union to run errands for us However, if the military pays attention to this matter, no matter how ferocious the Eainst the Prince of Yong?”

Li An frowned and inquired, “Does this mean that this business cannot be done, then?”

Lu Jingzhong smiled and stated, “This is also a coincidence Your I to becole However, the Princess has yet to agree Therefore, this subject has asked Concubine Lan to have noble Consort Ji question the Princess about the matters of her heart Yesterday, when this subject cae frole seeinally thought it would be fine even if the Princess refused to remarry In any case, no one would have received any benefit or advantage Therefore, this subject did not take this matter to heart Concubine Lan also took the opportunity to speak a few le usually does not have any hobbies and is only fond of reading poetry Moreover, she is ifted scholar, Jiang Zhe, a scroll always in her hand on a daily basis Second, yesterday, Princess Changle went to the Prince of Yong’s residence to drive away her worries When she returned to the palace, her ood”

Li An’s brow furrowed and asked, “Are you saying that Princess Changle and that surrendered subject from Southern Chu have personal connections? Don’t talk nonsense! You know about this younger sister of mine She is extremely virtuous, and would definitely not have a love affair with anyone”
