Chapter 374 (1/2)
Shan Ning didn't tell anyone about Prime Minister Jiang's treason, but Zhu GuanLiang knew something about it. Shan Ning asked him to give him some time to deal with it. Zhu GuanLiang agreed and looked at him with a complicated look. He didn't want to say anything.
”I know what you want to say, and you think I'll fight with Prime Minister Jiang?”
Zhu GuanLiang is not worried about this, ”I'm afraid you'll put yourself in.”
”Look down on me, your brother. Although I don't do business at ordinary times, I'm very reliable at the critical moment. You have trusted me once, so trust me again.” Another pat on Zhu GuanLiang's back is half consolation and half self encouragement.
Zhu GuanLiang looked at him with a solemn expression. ”It's a great pity that the Shan family has not had a lot of children since emperor Gaozu. But it also avoids the tragedy of brotherhood. The throne is a symbol of power, but it's more about responsibility. It doesn't make any difference between the two of us. If you think about it, neither father nor mother will have any opinions.”
Shan Ning gave him a white look. ”What do you mean by that? Worried that I'll fight you for the throne? Don't say you give me I don't take to pick up, even if I really want, need you to give me? ”
”It's just that.”
”I don't need you to let me know. If I know my weight well, I'll leave it alone. I'm sure I can handle this matter well. Before that, I'd better not let the sage know. It's not a good end if it's too big.”
Zhu GuanLiang agreed. He wanted to ask some questions. Finally, he held back.
Since knowing the purpose of Prime Minister Jiang, Jiang Shi has been thinking about how to stop his father every day. It should be too late to persuade his father to give up this idea before things get serious. As for Shan Ning, since he didn't advertise it, it shows that there is still room for negotiation and it's not irreparable.
After that time, Shan Ning and Prime Minister Jiang went together. Jiang Shi also checked his father at home, but Prime Minister Jiang was cautious. Even his son could not find anything at home. No wonder the prime minister gained a good reputation both inside and outside the government for so many years.
After talking with Shan Ning, the existence of Yushu in Dali Temple became a great threat to Prime Minister Jiang. Prime Minister Jiang asked Shan Ning to kill Yushu, saying that his existence would affect their plans.
Shan Ning agreed. Later, he went to Dali temple to find Yushu and wanted to dig out some clues from her. But Yushu was very excited when he saw him. Because Jiang Fan died in vain, he could not escape.
Shan Ning can't deny this, and he can't refute Yu Shu's accusations. The jailer pulls out his sword and threatens to let Yu Shu show respect to Shan Ning. Yu Shu grins and says, ”Your Highness is here today to kill me, right? Then please do it quickly. I've lived so long. It's time to go down and see my parents. ”
”I came here today, actually...”
Before he finished speaking, someone from outside asked him to come down to the fifth hall.
