The look between the two was like a firefight in the air, intense and brief.

After a moment, Ning Hanyu laughed, "What does Liu Zaifu mean by this? Can't I share the worries of the imperial court?"

"Master Ning, why are you so pretentious?" Liu Zhongqing stared into Ning Hanyu's deep eyes with burning eyes, his tone full of mockery: "Since we want to cooperate, we must be honest and explain things clearly to avoid mutual suspicion in the future.

, there is a rift..."

Ning Hanyu's eyes quickly regained their composure and met Liu Zhongqing's eyes openly.

"Master Liu, do you still need to ask about such a simple matter?"

"I want to maintain the peace and security of the country and do not want any risks. In this way, both I and Mr. Liu can sit back and relax and enjoy the glory and wealth brought by the prosperous age of the Wu Dynasty!"

Liu Zhongqing nodded slightly and did not refute.

Today, the Liu family is already extremely wealthy. Its military, economic and other aspects of power extend like the root system of a big tree, constantly drawing nutrients downwards and continuously supplying the Liu family, a tree that dares to be taller than the sky.

The Liu family has stood at the top of the pyramid, but this big tree has lush branches and intertwined branches, but it also needs fresh blood to water it.

So for these extended roots, Liu Zhongqing will not create any branches for them now.

Only when the Liu family truly takes control of the imperial world, will they concentrate all their efforts to cut off these roots so that this big tree will no longer be coveted.

Just like raising a tree in the yard, in order to make it grow more lush and strong, some crooked branches and buds need to be removed.

In Liu Zhongqing's eyes, people like Ning Hanyu are just crooked buds.

It's just that at the moment, it's not at the point where it needs to be built.

Now His Highness the Crown Prince's behavior is so rampant that Liu Zhongqing has to guard against it.

"Master Ning, I remember that you are married and have children?"

Liu Zhongqing suddenly said.

Ning Hanyu's face changed slightly, and he immediately responded with a smile, "That's right. I didn't expect that Liu Zaifu, who has so many things to do every day, would still be concerned about his family."

He pretended to be relaxed and twitched the corners of his lips. He was secretly annoyed and wondered what Liu Zhongqing meant by suddenly mentioning this matter.

Liu Zhongqing raised his lips slightly, with a hint of playfulness in his tone, "Master Ning has misunderstood. What I care about is not the family, but the children under Master Ning's knees."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."

"The Crown Prince will hold the imperial examination this year. I heard that Master Ning's son Ning Gang is very talented and talented. I think it would be a great blessing for Master Ning to recruit Ning Gang to serve in the capital."

Liu Zhongqing raised his chin slightly, with a slight smile on his lips, looking proud.

Are you trying to win him over?

Ning Hanyu's eyes sharpened suddenly, and the smile gradually spread at the corner of his mouth.

"Lord Liu is right, and I have the same idea. However, His Highness the Crown Prince will personally supervise the examination this time. Is there anything that Lord Liu can do?"

"Haha, so what about His Highness the Crown Prince." Liu Zhongqing spoke with arrogance, "He has a good plan, and I have a wall ladder. As long as Mr. Ning is willing, there will be a way to solve it."

"Haha... Master Liu is right." Ning Hanyu laughed, his eyes burning, and there was a hint of excitement in his eyes, "Then I will thank Master Liu first."

Liu Zhongqing smiled and waved his hand, "Easy to say, easy to say."

"Haha, so what about His Royal Highness?" Liu Zhongqing's words were full of arrogance.

In order to prevent him from taking over power in the DPRK, Li Yunxing specially held the imperial examination. The purpose is self-evident.

Not only did he want to prevent the imperial examination, but he also wanted to disrupt the imperial examination and make Li Yunxing fail.

Even if Li Yunxing could control the imperial examination, what about the college examination? the provincial examination? the general examination?

He didn't believe that Li Yunxing could still intervene!

At that time, all the students who will be sent to the palace examination will be selected by Liu Zhongqing.

Even if Emperor Wu and the prince jointly held the palace examination, the person finally selected would be Liu Zhongqing's person, and it would be useless even if Li Yunxing tried to manipulate him!

What's more, he passed the imperial examination openly and honestly, and Li Yunxing couldn't say anything more.

"It's just an imperial examination. Although I don't have much ability, Master Ning doesn't need to worry so much." Liu Zhongqing said modestly, but in fact he was arrogant.

A deep light flashed across Ning Hanyu's eyes. The corners of his lips were slightly curved, as if he was a little disdainful, but he quickly covered it up and changed the subject.

"In that case, I would like to thank Master Liu first."

For branches that grow crookedly, you also need to give them some sweetness to give them a reason to be clamped down.

The current stock market supervisor Ning Hanyu is also the most lucrative job in the young man's house. Why did he come to find me?

Liu Zhongqing is not as bold as Li Yunxing and can cooperate with anyone.

Even Yang Tinghe, who had no factional influence, dared to promote him to the rank of Shaoqing of Sinong Temple.

To cooperate with him, Liu Zhongqing, he must take him under his command, whether through coercion or inducement, only in this way will he feel at ease.

Because he knew very well that such an alliance would not only make the Liu family stronger, but also benefit the Liu family.

And this benefit is enough for the two of them to join forces without any complications.

As for the Ning family...

Who is the person behind Ning Hanyu?

Countless thoughts flashed through Liu Zhongqing's mind, but there was still a faint smile on his face.

"Of course, Mr. Ning, I will need your help later. Mr. Ning, please don't push me back!" Liu Zhongqing looked at Ning Hanyu meaningfully, with a light flashing in his eyes.

The mutual market supervisor is in charge of many commercial trades such as salt, iron, tea, etc., and earns a lot of money from it every month.

And this is done on the surface, but the profits behind the scenes are probably not small. After all, there are many businessmen who rely on market surveillance to make a living.

Liu Zhongqing has always had a big appetite, but Liu Zhongqing is not trying to gain benefits from the court.

He wanted to use the wealth in Ning Hanyu's hands to strengthen himself.

Ning Hanyu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Of course I won't refuse. Liu Zaifu can speak frankly."

"Well, that's good."

If the Liu family can take it into their own hands, they will gain huge wealth.

"That's natural. As long as Mr. Liu needs it, I will do my best to help." Ning Hanyu smiled heartily.

The two old foxes looked at each other and smiled, reaching a consensus with each other.

Han Yihai, Qian Yueshan and some civil servants and generals present all smiled knowingly.

Liu Zaifu had wanted to capture the young man's fortune a long time ago. However, the young man's position was too important and involved a lot, so he had not yet made an attack.

Although Ning Hanyu is only a sixth-rank official, he cannot resist Ning Hanyu's backing to the Shaofu. This is a double-edged sword that can help Liu Zhongqing.

As long as Ning Hanyu is willing to follow Liu Zhongqing, Liu Zhongqing can draw the Ning family into his camp and become the sharpest weapon in his hand.

As for Ning Hanyu, he also had the same plan.
