To be honest, Li Zhiyun originally learned that King Tianzhu wanted to contact him secretly, and he was planning to develop the line of King Tianzhu. But judging from Lan Bu's attitude, it was obvious that it was impossible to succeed.
Because he is so crazy!
Are you going to attack Liangzhou if you don’t let people go?
Who gave you the courage, Ms. Liang?
Du Ruhui said: "Your Majesty, since we are planning to win over Murong Shun, we might as well hand over Wu Lun Qiu and Lan Bu to Murong Shun and see how he handles them."
"You mean to test his determination?" Li Zhiyun asked.
"That's right." Du Ruhui said: "If he really wants to resist, then he will definitely kill Wu Lunqiu in order to get closer to our court. If he just wants to seek benefits by relying on our power, it means that he has no courage.
I don't even dare to kill Wu Lunqiu.
Our plan to Tuyuhun this time is of great importance and we must be careful. Murong Shun is an important part and we must not be careless. If we are not sure of Murong Shun's determination, we cannot help him casually to avoid an uncontrollable situation."
"I second the proposal." Xue Shou said: "I think what Prime Minister Du said is reasonable. Murong Shun must prove his determination!"
Chen Shuda hesitated and said: "But if we force him to kill Wu Lunqiu, will he feel resentful because of this and resent us for forcing him to go to a dead end?"
"No." Du Ruhui said: "If he dare not kill Wu Lunqiu, it means that his determination to stand on his own is not firm enough at all. For this kind of person, even if we help him, we will not achieve any results in the end."
"I still don't think it's appropriate." Chen Shuda shook his head and said, "We can completely turn Murong Shun into a puppet step by step. There is really no need to use such extreme methods to force him. If it backfires, he may even turn around and deal with me.
.”
Yang Gongren raised his hand to the emperor and said, "I also feel that we should not force him too much."
"Prime Minister Yang, Prime Minister Chen, you don't understand what I mean." Du Ruhui explained: "I have no intention of forcing Murong Shun. What I mean is to hand over Wu Lun Qiu and Lan Bu to Murong Shun and see what he will choose to do.
We don't have to force him. What I want to see is whether Murong Shun has the courage to completely betray Tyuhun."
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in shock.
Chen Shuda asked back: "But what if he goes against the law?"
"It doesn't matter. This is Chang'an. We can't wait until he returns to show off his will." Du Ruhui sneered and said, "If he doesn't show his determination here, then we don't have to help him."
"It's better to force him." Chen Shuda always felt that doing so was not very safe and could easily arouse Murong Shun's rebellious mentality.
Li Zhiyun didn't say anything, and just watched the prime ministers arguing with each other. The more the arguments were made, the more the truth became clearer, and the more the facts were argued, the clearer they became. As long as they were not unreasonable, he could allow the prime ministers to hold different opinions.
The focus of the dispute between the two sides is not very fundamental. In Chen Shuda's view, Murong Shun should not be forced to make a decision now, but should be gradually and gradually drawn together.
Du Ruhui believed that Murong Shun's determination must be tested now, otherwise it would be better to give up on him directly.
Therefore, both sides started a debate.
Chen Shuda and Yang Gongren had similar opinions, Du Ruhui and Xue Shou agreed. The remaining Li Shuliang didn't understand anything, and Wen Yanbo didn't express his attitude.
Half an hour passed, and both sides still had difficulty convincing each other.
Li Zhiyun said decisively: "Do as Du Xiang said."
Chen Shuda and Yang Gongren looked at each other, and finally turned into a sigh. Sure enough, in the emperor's mind, Du Ruhui could still listen to what he said.
Yang Gongren said: "Your Majesty must do this. I have no objection. I just hope that if Murong Shun does not kill Lan Bu, I hope that your Majesty will not force him and let him return to Tuyuhun with Lan Bu. In this way, Tuyuhun will be in civil strife."
It’s bound to happen.”
This is a very simple reason. Originally, King Tianzhu and Murong Shun were incompatible, but when King Tianzhu learned that Murong Shun was colluding with the Tang Dynasty, he would never let Murong Shun go.
"Yes." Li Zhiyun nodded.
Although he was unhappy with Lan Bu's arrogance, he still wouldn't delay important matters for such a person.
What he wanted was civil strife in Tuyuhun.
Prison.
Fang Xuanling appeared in front of Lan Bu and looked at the latter with cold eyes.
When Lan Bu saw Fang Xuanling, he said disdainfully: "Why, your emperor asked you to release me? What have you done earlier? Release Wu Lunqiu earlier, why bother?"
"Do you think I'm here to free you?" Fang Xuanling had a sarcastic smile on her lips. This idiot would have died a thousand times over if it wasn't for the overall situation.
"Otherwise?" Lan Bu asked back, and then said: "I still say the same thing, you should release Wu Lunqiu as soon as possible. In this case, King Tianzhu can forget the blame and your Liangzhou can live in peace."
"Haha." Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I just came to inform you that His Majesty has decided to hand him over to Murong Shun."
"What are you talking about!" Lan Bu stared, stood up suddenly, and rushed forward. The chains rattled, and he grabbed the iron door of the prison with a clang with both hands.
"You are looking for death!"
Bang!
Li Zhen narrowed her eyes, suddenly opened the cell door, stepped forward and cracked Lan Bu's skull with a strong hand, causing Lan Bu to tremble and fall to the ground, wailing.
"This is not Tuyuhun, please keep your mouth clean."
"You...are looking for death!" Lan Bu stared at Li Zhen bitterly.
Due to the grudge between Murong Shun and King Tianzhu, Wu Lunqiu will undoubtedly die. His mission failed, and returning home will also lead to death.
These Tang people are really damned!
"Looking for death?" Li Zhen stepped forward and stepped on Lan Bu's face with the soles of her new size 42 shoes.
"Who wants death?"
"You...ah!"
Screams rang out, and half of Lan Bu's face was stepped on by Li Zhen, turning his flesh and blood into a lake.
The soles of the new boots are made using new manufacturing methods in the workshop and are much stronger than the soles of the previous boots, and there are even iron nails on them.
"General Li, stop, now is not the time to kill him." Fang Xuanling called to Li Zhen.
Li Zhen snorted coldly and took back her foot.
At the same time, Honglu Temple Guesthouse.
Sun Bo, Xiaowang and Murong Shun were troubled by something, something that made it difficult for them to decide.
"Brother, the Tang Dynasty handed over Wu Lun Qiu to our disposal. It is clear that they want us to have a life-or-death confrontation with King Tianzhu."
"I can see that." Murong Shun sighed slightly.
He knew that it was not that simple to get help from the Tang Dynasty. He really wanted the Tang Dynasty to support his independence, but what he hoped more was that the Tang Dynasty could defeat Tuyuhun and then hand over Tuyuhun to him.
Instead of this, he and King Tianzhu were completely at odds.
"What should we do?" Xiao Wang Sun Bo asked worriedly: "If we don't do what the Tang Dynasty wants, will they not help us?"
"We have no choice." Murong Shun said, "We had no choice from the beginning."
"Brother, what do you mean by this?"
Murong Shun explained: "Even if I don't kill Wu Lun Qiu now, the Tang Dynasty will release Wu Lun Qiu back to Tyuhun. At that time, Wu Lun Qiu will definitely tell King Tianzhu what happened. By then, we will still have to fight with him.
King Tianzhu will fight to the death."
"What?" Xiao Wang Sun Bo asked anxiously: "How can this be done? We are all willing to surrender, how can they do this?"
In his view, the Tang emperor went too far.
Murong Shun smiled bitterly and said: "This is the tragedy of a small country. In my opinion, it is not that the Tang Dynasty was unable to defeat Tuyuhun, it was just because the Central Plains had been in civil strife for many years and they wanted to temporarily stop fighting and recuperate."
Xiao Wang Sun Bo looked gloomy and asked: "Then what should we do?"
Murong Shun shook his head, "From the moment we stepped into Chang'an, we have no right to choose, only the fate of being chosen."
