Chapter 153 Zhang Kaidi’s Teachings
“You are still so alert, haha.”

Glancing at the direction where the man in straw raincoat left, Ji Wuye’s eyes showed murderous intent, but he quickly hid it.

“However, what I need is no longer collaborators, but subordinates who obey my orders.”

After drinking the wine in the glass, Ji Wuye stood up, opened the mechanism in the room, and went into the secret room.

The secret room is very spacious, and a person is making medicine step by step.

Seeing Ji Wuye coming, the man bowed to the ground, extremely respectful.

Ji Wuye was very satisfied with this man’s respect, even though he knew that his respect was mostly filled with controlled fear.

“Drug slave, I need more tools, and you won’t let me down, right?”

The medicine slave trembled all over and said hurriedly: “Sir, I will definitely complete the number of medicines within the time specified by you.”

Ji Wuye nodded with satisfaction, looking at the neatly arranged medicine bottles. The light in his eyes seemed to swallow up the light in the secret room.

“The birds can only be my birds, and the night can only be my night.”

In the medicine bottle is a poison that can control people, and the drug slave is a gift given to him by those people.

The power over the life and death of the medicine slaves is now in his hands, so he is very satisfied with the sincerity of those people.

Ji Wuye knew very well that only by demonstrating his great value could he get more.

The night of the future will not only cover South Korea, but will also expand outward.

Ambition is a person’s driving force, and after Ji Wuye learned some secrets, his inflated ambition could no longer be curbed.

……

Wearing a straw raincoat, with a fishing boat and a fishing rod, Bai Yifei arrived holding an umbrella in the falling drizzle.

The boat glided slowly in one direction. Bai Yifei stared at the straw raincoat man’s fishing rod, as if expecting a fish to take the bait.

“Ji Wuye is not the Ji Wuye of the past. He is much braver now.”

The man in the straw raincoat spoke in a calm tone, as calm as if he were a bystander who was not involved in the matter.

“Someone gave him a great temptation, fame, wealth and power. How many people in the world can remain calm?”

Bai Yifei’s tone was also very calm. He looked at the ripples caused by the raindrops falling on the water, sneered with extreme indifference, and said: “He has never understood that ambitious people often die faster.”

“Once a chess piece is on the chessboard, it may not be able to wait until the end of the game.”

“What are you going to do?” There was curiosity in the man in straw raincoat’s tone.

“Now that the chess pieces have been placed on the board, let’s add another fire.”

Bai Yifei looked at him leisurely, and reached out to catch a few drops of rainwater: “It would be a good opportunity to wash it off. The Ninth Young Master is also restless.”

“Ying Zifei has already left Xinzheng. I need your intelligence channel to determine his destination as quickly as possible.”

The man in the straw raincoat nodded, and the fish was hooked, so he pulled in the rod and caught the fish.

“The information will be given to you in a timely manner. You will deliver what I want in a timely manner, right?”

Bai Yifei left with an umbrella, and a voice came: “Compared to the ambitions of some people, your self-restraint is the basis of our cooperation.”

The cold air hit us, and in just a few breaths, the fishing boat was frozen on the lake.

The man in the straw raincoat remained expressionless. He pointed the fishing boat with the fishing rod in his hand. The ice broke into pieces with a crackling sound, and soon turned into water and disappeared.

“Although not as talented as your mother, she is still a genius.”

The fishing boat shuttled into the reed marsh and disappeared in the drizzle.

“You are really hard to figure out.” Bai Yifei put away his perception and smiled mysteriously.

Just when some people in the Korean court were making moves, a piece of news spread quickly, causing many people in Xinzheng to talk about it.

“The ghost soldiers robbed the money.” Han Fei thought that Ji Wuye would take action, but he did not expect Ji Wuye to be so greedy and crazy.

“This problem must be solved as soon as possible.” Zi Nu said with concern: “Our people found some clues, and the Blood-robed Marquis Bai Yifei was also involved.”

“One hundred thousand gold in military pay is related to the stability of the border troops.” Zi Nu said, clenched her fist, and said solemnly: “With South Korea’s current national strength, it is impossible to raise one hundred thousand gold in a short period of time.”

“With the army’s morale in turmoil, it will be difficult to execute our plan.”

Han Fei nodded, looked at Wei Zhuang and said, “Brother Wei Zhuang, please go to the Valley of Broken Souls.”

Wei Zhuang frowned and said, “It’s useless to find out the method of committing the crime. Now the key is what roles your two uncles, Lord Longquan and Lord Anping, play.”

“I know.” Han Fei stood by the window and looked into the distance. He said, “Someone wants to purge a group of people. Sometimes I really don’t understand my father.”

“I will get the right to handle the case as soon as possible. I believe my fourth brother and Zhang Xiang will agree to it.”

Wei Zhuang narrowed his eyes, and after thinking of something, he spoke more hastily, “Are you doubting your father?”

Han Fei was silent, then nodded with some pain, and said bitterly: “Whoever is the final winner is the real planner, isn’t he?”

“When it comes to escorting military pay, my two uncles need to take action themselves. The commander of the imperial guards in Xinzheng, the commander of the garrison outside the city, and even my fourth brother, they can solve the problem very well.” “My two uncles are not well-known and have no reputation, but they were chosen to do this at this time.”

“Whether it’s a bait or a discarded pawn, my father, the king, must have seen through it and predicted Ji Wuye’s moves.”

Han Fei exhaled slightly, and said with a complicated expression: “And this is the strategy that he has used to prevent Ji Wuye from going too far over the years.”

“He must have noticed the change in the situation. This time, either there will be a new balance to check Ji Wuye and others, or he can only choose to favor and win them over and give up some of his power.”

He tilted his head and stared at Wei Zhuang, saying, “Brother Wei Zhuang, I don’t want to see the checks and balances fail.”

“Once checks and balances fail, the royal family’s favor and winning over is nothing more than a granted marriage, which is the most appropriate.”

“And Honglian…”

Han Fei did not say anything else. Wei Zhuang thought of that arrogant woman in his mind, and emotions flashed in his eyes.

“I will go to the Valley of Broken Souls immediately.”

After Wei Zhuang left, Han Fei said to Zi Nu: “Please send someone to protect Hong Lian in secret. I’m worried that someone might use some bad means.”

“it is good”

Zi Nu nodded and left. Han Fei knelt down again and fell into deep thought.

……

At this time, in the Prime Minister’s residence, Zhang Liang was also thinking about the motives behind the current controversy over the ghost soldiers’ robbery of military pay.

“Zifang, what do you think about this?”

Zhang Kaidi wanted to test his grandson. After Zhang Liang bowed to his grandfather, he said, “Grandfather, the story of the ghost soldiers in the Broken Soul Valley robbing the money is really nonsense. There is a conspiracy behind it.”

“In Zifang’s opinion, General Ji Wuye is the mastermind of this incident, and his purpose is to demonstrate his indispensability in the Korean court.”

“The army’s morale is shaken. Once Ji Wuye, Xueyi Hou and others come forward to stabilize the army’s morale, what does that mean? Many people in the court understand, and the king will understand too.”

Zhang Kai listened, nodded slightly, and then asked: “Although my country is weak, it is feasible to raise another 100,000 gold. In this case, wouldn’t Ji Wuye and others have wasted their calculations?”

“Grandfather, it is not easy to raise 100,000 gold in Korea today.” Zhang Liang looked at his grandfather and analyzed: “Ji Wuye’s subordinate Feicuihu has monopolized most of Korea’s business channels and is the richest businessman in Korea.”

“If we want to raise another 100,000 gold in a short period of time, we can’t avoid the Emerald Tiger. Once the king takes action against the Emerald Tiger, Ji Wuye and others will definitely take countermeasures.”

“With the Blood-Robed Marquis Bai Yifei commanding 100,000 soldiers outside, the pressure from both inside and outside will be great. The king will definitely see this result.”

“The best solution now is to solve the case of the ghost soldiers robbing the military pay and recover the 100,000 gold military pay. Only in this way can we break the subsequent killing moves of Ji Wuye and others.”

“Is that all?” He asked again, narrowing his eyes.

Zhang Liang fell into deep thought. After a while, he bowed and said, “Grandfather, that’s all I can think of now.”

“Not bad.” He commented openly, and then sighed slightly: “Zifang, at your age, it is really good to be able to see these.”

“But your judgment and analysis have always regarded Ji Wuye and others as the planners in this incident, but you have ignored the most important person.”

Zhang Liang was stunned, then frowned, pointed his finger in the direction of the palace, and said: “What if the king is also one of the important planners of this incident?”

Zhang Liang’s eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: “Grandfather, this is impossible. How dare the king bet that he can stabilize the morale of the army in time?”

Zhang Kai shook his head slightly and said, “Zifang, the king has always had a gambling nature.”

“It’s just that he has always been seeking stability and comfort, which has paralyzed many people.”

“And this time, the gambling nature is guaranteed, because I, Zhang Kaidi, am still in the court, and because the Ninth Prince Han Fei will also take the opportunity to join the game.”

Hearing this, Zhang Liang fell silent. After a while, he said, “So the king is also looking forward to some reforms from the Ninth Prince?”

“Yes and no.” Zhang Liang looked at him and said, “To be precise, the king needs the Ninth Prince to join the game to solve some problems, so that the king can adjust the checks and balances between the parties.”

“Zifang, the Ninth Young Master, chose the most difficult path.”

“He sees it too clearly. Even if he can solve the problems of Ji Wuye, Bai Yifei and others in the future and wants to take control of power, his father will definitely be afraid of him.”

“And for a reformer who doesn’t have much power, how likely do you think he is to succeed?”

Zhang Liang felt as if his heart was hit hard, and the oppressive feeling made him find it difficult to breathe.

“Grandfather, is there no chance?” Zhang Liang’s eyes turned red and he thought of a possibility.

“It seems you have thought of it.” Zhang Kaidi stared at Zhang Liang calmly and said, “Martyr, perhaps this is the fate of the great talents of the Legalists.”

Zhang Liang felt weak and fell to one side. He stood up and left. There were some things that Zhang Liang had to bear by himself.

Ever since the Ninth Prince Han Fei had deliberately trained Zhang Liang, Zhang Kaidi had already understood Han Fei’s choice.

He needed a successor who could maintain the framework of his reforms after Han Fei completed his reforms to Korea and died a martyr.

The descendants of the Zhang family who have served as prime ministers of Han for generations, together with the intelligent and talented Zhang Liang, will have a perfect combination of influence and ability, and will be able to complete the succession at some point in the future.

One Zhang Liang and one Guiguzi Wei Zhuang. If everything goes according to the expectations of the Ninth Prince Han Fei, this one civil and one military man can protect the national fortune of Han for twenty years.
