As soon as Ji Jie returned to the inn, Chen Yao came forward and took his hand to ask questions.
It can be seen that Chen Yao has been worried about his safety after he left. After all, he has to appear in front of Han An with his true identity. If Han An kills him, how can he escape the trap alone?
"Haha, don't worry, Yaoyao, just take a look outside!" Ji Jie pursed his lips toward the window.
Chen Yao looked out with some confusion and saw the prince's exclusive carriage slowly leaving. She asked in surprise: "You came back in the prince's carriage?"
"Um!"
"Why?"
"Because Han An and I had a very happy chat, and he sent his own carriage to take me here when he was happy!" Ji Jie looked like a stinker, picked up Chen Yao and let her sit on his lap, and said with a smile: " I told you not to worry, now you can rest assured!"
"How did you do it?"
"confidential!"
"What secret? Are you still keeping it secret from me?"
"Unless it's in bed, it's a secret!"
"Hate!"
…
For the ultimate goal, Han An spared no effort to speak well of Ji Jie in front of King Han Hui, and revealed Dazhou's intention to cooperate with South Korea.
King Han Hui asked all the eunuchs and maids to leave, and then he felt relieved and asked Han An about the specific matters.
In order to make King Hui of Han fall into the trap, Ji Jie gave Han An an idea, saying that he was willing to provide the production methods of new weapons in exchange, and was willing to send a group of skilled craftsmen to Korea to specifically guide the manufacture of new weapons.
King Hui of Han was overjoyed when he heard this. This was the purpose of the Three Jin Alliance's attack on Zhou Dynasty. If he had known that Ji Jie was willing to cooperate, why bother to mobilize troops?
Before Han An said this, King Hui of Han was still shouting in the court that he wanted to avenge the 30,000 dead soldiers and was at odds with the Zhou Dynasty. In the blink of an eye, things changed immediately. This King of Han was really a A profiteering villain.
"If we can really get the method to make new weapons, we can mass-produce them!" King Hui of Han smiled happily and said: "The next step is to expand to neighboring countries, take back the land they have occupied, and then unify China. !”
"Yes, my father will be the lord of China by then!" Han An agreed.
While ecstatic, King Han Hui frowned slightly and asked: "Wang Er, how did you get involved with Ji Jie? Is what you said reliable? Ji Jie is said to be a treacherous person. If we withdraw, The army, but he broke his promise, wouldn’t he have suffered a big loss?”
Han An said with a smile: "I don't think Ji Jie is a treacherous person. In comparison, Zhao Mu and Wei Mou are even worse! He can come to South Korea in person at such a time, which is enough Show your sincerity. This is what I think. In order not to arouse the hostility between Zhao and Wei, we will not withdraw our troops, but we will not start a war with Zhou Dynasty. If Ji Jie can keep his promise, we will withdraw. If he breaks his promise, we will Hit him!"
"What a good idea!" King Han Hui nodded and said, "My son is very resourceful, and it is worthy of his father to make you the crown prince! Let's do this. You can arrange a meeting with him immediately. Remember, you need to find a secluded place. We cannot let the spies of Zhao and Wei find out."
"Then let's go to the Prince's Mansion!" Han An suggested.
"good!"
In fact, everything Han An said was taught by Ji Jie. He had long expected what concerns King Han Hui would have and how to deal with them. He even expected that he would find another meeting place. arrive.
Meeting in the Prince's Mansion would only bring benefits to Han An but no harm. The spies of the other princes would definitely notice this, but they didn't know the purpose of King Han Hui's trip, let alone that the person he wanted to meet was Ji. Jay.
The King's personal visit to the Prince's Mansion is undoubtedly an affirmation of the Prince. Of course, Han An knew that Ji Jiejie's attention was for his own good.
Han An's envoy quickly spread the news to Ji Jie's ears.
"Let's celebrate tonight!" Ji Jie happily said to Chen Yao: "Although I haven't met the most important person yet, what is certain is that more than half of this mission has been completed, haha!"
"Great! I'll inform the shop owner and ask him to tell the chef to cook some good dishes!" Chen Yao jumped out and ran out.
There are two reasons why King Han Hui was fooled. First, Ji Jie's bait was so good that no one could resist the temptation of the new weapon's secret recipe. Second, Han An's participation was only significant with his presence. If it were anyone else, King Han would definitely be suspicious.
Due to the head tax, various commercial activities in Xinzheng City were greatly affected. The city seemed extremely depressed. Many merchants who came and went had to find other places because they could not afford to pay the heavy tax. As a result, vegetables and meat were in short supply.
Looking at the table of food that he had finally put together, Ji Jie was filled with emotion: "A plate of cold shredded radish actually costs three coins, and you can buy half a car in Dazhou! South Korea is caught between several powerful countries. You want to make progress, but you are still busy digging your own grave!"
"The King of Han always implemented certain decrees according to his own preferences and never asked for the opinions of the ministers!" Chen Yao put the chopsticks she was wiping in front of Ji Jie and said: "Among the three Jins, Zhao and Wei all had great achievements. , only South Korea, its territory is getting smaller and smaller, and the country is getting weaker and weaker."
It would be surprising if the country could be well off if there was a great king who was extremely profitable.
…
In the Prince's Mansion, Ji Jie and Han An were drinking tea while waiting for the arrival of King Han Hui.
"This time I was able to meet the King of Han smoothly, thanks to your highness!" Ji Jie took out a string of pearl necklaces that were larger than a quail egg, and said with a smile: "This is a small gift for you to enjoy. Not respectful!"
Han An was surprised at first, then calmly took the necklace and stuffed it into his sleeve. He had only seen such big pearls a few times. Each pearl was worth ten taels of gold, and this string was worth at least sixty or seventy. What about.
It is true that like father, like son, the father values profits, so the son naturally regards money as important.
The housekeeper trotted over and whispered in Han An's ear: "The king is here!"
The two stood up together, and King Han walked over. He was in his fifties, with a slender face full of wrinkles, a pair of equally slender eyes, and a shrewdness that could not be concealed. He had a high nose bridge. Square mouth.
"My child pays homage to his father!" Han An saluted.
"Ji Jie, Lord Zhaowen, pays homage to your Majesty!" Ji Jie also bowed, his expression neither humble nor overbearing.
After all, Ji Jie was born in the direct descendant of the Zhou royal family, and now represents the emperor. Although King Han is a prince, in the final analysis, he was canonized by the emperor of Zhou, so there is no need to be respectful when facing him.
"No need to be polite, Lord Supervisor!" King Hui of Han said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that Zhaowen Jun and Ji Jie are young talents, and they are indeed extraordinary! Come on, come on, please take a seat!"
Han An waved his hand and everyone else left.
King Hui of Han sat on the main seat, while Han An and Ji Jie sat on the left and right.
"Listen to what I, Wang'er, said, the Lord Supervisor is willing to cooperate with me, Korea. Is this true?" King Han Hui got straight to the point. He was direct and didn't even bother to say a polite word.
Ji Jie nodded. After all, you won't pay taxes for bragging. Besides, I was already stabbed by you when I entered the city. You were unkind first, so no wonder I was unkind later.
"Among the Three Jins, the people of Zhao and Wei are very cunning and cannot be partners of Zhou!" Ji Jie said eloquently: "Although we have formed an alliance with Yan, Yan does not border Qin.
, it is difficult to assist Da Zhou at the critical moment, so we must find another ally. Considering the situation of surrounding countries, South Korea is the most suitable!"
King Han and Han An looked at each other and nodded together.
