A man in a luxurious brocade robe stood on the stone bridge, feeding the koi carp in the lake. As the feed fell into the water, countless koi carp with bright colors rushed out of the water, fighting for a mouthful of bait.
The lake water is stirring and rippling continuously.
The man does not look young, but he has good features and looks a bit suave. However, right now, his expression is a bit serious and indifferent, less gentle than before and a bit more gloomy.
He is none other than Han Yu, the Fourth Young Master of South Korea, who is now a third-party force in the South Korean court.
If Kaifangdi and Ji Wuye are the two humerus ministers beside Han Wangan, then Han Yu is the key to balancing the two. In a way, his status is higher than that of the prince. If it were not for the Korean prince,
With Ji Wuye's support, the current crown prince position may fall on him.
"Brush~"
A figure passed by from a distance, came to Han Yu's side with light steps, and said respectfully: "Father, there is news in the palace. The king will host a banquet for the eldest son of the Zhao Kingdom tonight!"
The visitor is Han Yu's adopted son Han Qiancheng, who is highly skilled in martial arts, especially good at archery, and has the ability to pierce an arrow with a hundred steps.
"There's someone there."
Han Yu looked calmly at the koi carp vying for food on the lake, played with the bait in his hand, and said softly.
Han Qiancheng said in a deep voice: "Princess Honglian, Ninth Young Master, Madam Mingzhu, Hu Meiren, and the king."
"Lao Jiu? That's right. He is Honglian's brother. This time Zhao Jia entered Korea, nominally to ask for Honglian's hand in marriage. His presence is considered normal. It seems that my father intends to betroth Honglian to Honglian.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have held a sudden banquet. Ha, after all these years, the person whom my father values most in his heart is still Lao Jiu.”
Han Yu threw the bait in his hand into the lake, looked at it dimly, and sighed softly.
He has done many things for South Korea over the years, but for Han Wangan, the person he values most is still Han Fei. If not, how could he easily hand over the important position of Sikou to Han Fei.
Although Kaifangdi has the right to recommend guarantees, without Han Wangan's nod, how could this matter be accomplished?
"Father..."
Han Qiancheng looked at Han Yu with concern.
"I'm fine."
Han Yu chuckled lightly and continued: "I can't see through such a thing. Now Lao Jiu has become a Sikou, but he has also stirred up a hornet's nest and destroyed the balance that Korea has managed to maintain so far. Ji Wuye will not
Let him go, the ghost soldier robbery case is just the beginning, a greater danger is waiting for him, and maybe he doesn't know what he has done."
Han Fei rashly intervened in these matters, seemingly saving Kaifang who was on the verge of despair, but in fact he plunged himself into despair. Is Ji Wuye and his Ye Mu so easy to deal with?
If it could be easily dealt with, how could Han Yu be so cautious and insinuate.
There was a pause.
Han Yu's smile grew a little wider and he whispered to himself: "But it's okay, with Lao Jiu in front to attract Ye Mu's attention, we can do our own things."
A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and it passed away. When he looked again, he still had that gentle smile on his face.
Han Qiancheng said nothing and still stood behind Han Yu.
Han Yu ordered: "Send an invitation to the eldest son of the Zhao Kingdom tomorrow and tell him that I want to entertain him and see his reaction."
"promise!"
"By the way, has the matter you were asked to investigate come to fruition?"
Han Yu seemed to remember something and asked.
Han Qiancheng nodded, took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it over.
"I forgot, this paper seems to have been invented by the eldest son of the State of Zhao. Haha, interesting."
Han Yu took the paper and laughed softly.
It is quite interesting to say that the eldest son of the Zhao Kingdom obviously has this kind of unique craftsmanship, but he only brought it out now, or when he was in the Qin Kingdom. Could it be that he was afraid that it would not be reused in the Zhao Kingdom?
Based on Zhao Jia's status in Zhao State, this seems very possible, and this matter is also a big joke to all countries.
But given Zhao Wangyan's character, he might not care.
A king who can ignore all civil and military officials and marry a prostitute as his princess, how high do you expect his moral bottom line to be.
Han Yu opened the paper and looked at it carefully. The content on it had nothing to do with Zhao Jia. The things recorded on it were related to the deceased Zuo Sima Liu Yi, especially the matter about Baiyue.
For South Korea, the word Baiyue is a taboo, because back then South Korea followed other countries to the land of Baiyue to plunder wealth and slaves, which unexpectedly brought a big trouble to South Korea.
Red eyebrow dragon snake.
The former Baiyue Prince thought he would be a good bargaining chip, but he never thought that he would bring endless troubles and killings to South Korea. A killer who likes to hide in the dark, his explosive destructive power is quite astonishing.
, especially this person is very good at Baiyue's various magic arts.
Poisons, poisonous insects, etc. are all things that can easily cause big troubles. Coupled with Ye Ye's deliberate indulgence, the destructive power it caused in the past caused a great psychological shadow on Han Wangan.
So.
Mrs. Mingzhu gained the favor of Han Wangan and became the lady of a country.
The night can grow to this extent now because it was Han Wangan's indulgence.
"Qiancheng, do you think this matter has anything to do with Baiyue?"
Han Yu's eyes narrowed slightly and he asked.
Han Qiancheng pondered for a while and said slowly: "Based on the clues obtained right now, it should not be related. There is nothing abnormal about those Baiyue slaves. If they are really related to Baiyue, there should be a reaction there."
"But Zuo Sima Liu Yi's death was so strange. He was so angry that he died? Do you believe it?"
Han Yu frowned and said in a solemn tone. He absolutely did not believe that this incident was just an accident. How could Liu Yi be so angry to death by a woman?
To put it bluntly, even if Mrs. Hu stole someone in front of him, Liu Yi could hold it back.
He is a master who can bend and stretch.
"But the doctor didn't find anything wrong."
Han Qiancheng asked with some confusion.
Han Yu shook his head and said in a deep voice: "There is nothing wrong, that's the biggest problem. Qiancheng, don't just look at things on the surface. Send someone to keep an eye on those Baiyue slaves. Report any situation to me in a timely manner.
, the chaos that happened back then can’t happen again!”
There was a pause.
He added in a low voice: "But... this may also be an opportunity."
It's just that the risk of this matter is too great. Han Yu is not the kind of person who likes to take risks. He likes to be foolproof when doing things and doesn't like to fight uncertain battles.
"clear."
Han Qiancheng accepted with his hands raised. He knew his adoptive father's ambition and was willing to give everything for Han Yu.
