Chapter 241: Doomed Failure(1/2)
Early the next morning, the golden sun jumped out of the horizon, and the bright sunshine shone on the solemn and luxurious main hall of the Han Palace, shining brightly and dazzlingly.
The square under His Majesty's Majesty has been filled with Korean ministers wearing high crowns, wearing gorgeous clothes, and holding wat tablets. They gathered in groups and discussed something in low voices...
However, everyone's eyes more or less fell on the stranger next to Sikou Hanfei, secretly sizing up and guessing.
The stranger has a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He looks quite upright. His hair is tied up with an iron crown, and he is wearing a blue brocade robe. He has his hands behind his back. His face is expressionless and his demeanor is calm and calm.
In fact, Li Kai was in a rather complicated mood at this time. Stepping into the palace again after so many years reminded him of some things from back then, but it wasn't obvious on his face.
At that time, he was an official in Zuosima, in his prime, high-spirited, and could be said to be a bright star in the Korean military who had risen. However, because he was involved in a power struggle, his future was ruined and his wife and children were separated.
At that time, he just wanted to remain neutral and did not want to get involved in the fight among the princes to win the heir, so he was targeted in this way.
At night, how narrow-minded is the current King of Han?
But it's also his fault that he was too naive back then. There are some things that you don't have enough strength to do. It doesn't mean that you don't have to get involved if you don't want to get involved.
People don't want to hurt tigers, but tigers are harmful to people's hearts.
"Ninth Young Master, who is this?"
Ji Wuye, who arrived in a hurry, found the stranger, walked up to Han Fei, and looked at Li Kai rudely without concealing it.
"There are no ninth masters here, only Korean Sikou."
When he thought of the danger he and Wei Zhuang had encountered and the tragic deaths of his soldiers, Han Fei was too lazy to look good on Ji Wuye and did not even look at Ji Wuye.
Ji Wuye's face froze and he changed his words: "Then I dare to ask Lord Sikou if you can introduce this friend to me?"
"The court meeting is about to start. General Ji will know by then."
Han Fei still ignored Ji Wuye and didn't give him any face. Anyway, he had already lost his face and was too lazy to do any superficial work.
"you……"
Ji Wuye's heart was boiling with anger, his face was ferocious, his veins were bulging, and his eyes were glaring, staring at Han Fei like a ferocious tiger or wolf.
He, General Ji, is so polite and polite, how dare he play tricks on him?
Han Fei was not afraid at all. He looked at Ji Wuye expressionlessly, as if to say, do you dare to do something in public?
The conflict between the two made some courtiers who did not know the inside story marvel at Han Fei's boldness.
It is not surprising at all for some courtiers who are relatively well-informed and know more or less what happened to Han Fei.
They all resorted to a very taboo method like assassination, so it is natural to be resentful.
Although there is no evidence to prove that it was someone from Ji Wuye's sect, based on their understanding, it was probably someone from Ji Wuye's sect who did it.
First, Ji Wuye has the power, and second, Ji Wuye has the courage.
Kaifeng has a lot of say in this aspect, and Han Yu also has some.
Just when the two were confronting each other and neither one was willing to take a step back, the bell rang...
Hearing the bell, the courtiers stopped chatting and watched the excitement. They each walked to their seats and lined up.
Han Fei and Ji Wuye also found the steps, and each walked to their own positions and stood there. Soon the four columns were sorted, two rows and one column.
The two columns on the right were led by Kai Zhang, and the two columns on the left were led by the blood-clad Hou Bai Yifei. If Bai Yifei was not in Xinzheng, he was led by Ji Wuye.
Generally speaking, they are led by the prime minister and the general, but the title of marquis is too important, so when Bai Yifei is there, Ji Wuye can only feel aggrieved.
If Cheng Xi went to court in Qin, the Prime Minister Lu Buwei would be able to stand in front of Cheng Xi, because Lu Buwei was not only a prime minister who was courteous to hundreds of officials, but also a Wenxinhou who granted 100,000 households.
However, if Cheng Yu insists on standing on the same level as Lu Buwei, no one will say anything.
Firstly, it is because Chenglong is the younger brother of the current King of Qin, and secondly, Chenglong’s title is a combination of virtual and real. He not only has a seat but also an actual fief, and can be counted as a prince.
Four rows and eight rows of Korean courtiers stepped up the steps in an orderly manner. Until they entered the palace, the procession was not chaotic at all, giving it an air of military training.
There is no way, anyone who messes up will be punished.
Stepping into the palace, everyone bowed and bowed to pay homage to King Han.
There is no need to kneel in ordinary court meetings, unless it is a large court meeting or some kind of grand occasion.
This custom has been in the Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty and before, courtiers were still quite dignified and did not have to kneel down at every turn. However, it was different in the Qing Dynasty. In ordinary court meetings, they had to kneel down.
After Han Wangan asked the ministers to stand up, the court meeting began according to the procedure.
Originally, matters were generally reported from the smallest to the largest, and the affairs of each government office were usually reported to subordinate officials. Firstly, it was difficult for important ministers to express their opinions easily, and secondly, there was room for change.
However, today Han Fei did not follow the routine and was the first one to step out of the queue to make a show of trouble.
After Han Wangan agreed, Han Fei said in a deep voice: "I have two things to report to my father today."
"The first thing is that the night before yesterday, Erchen was assassinated by a large group of killers on his way back to Xinzheng from Yiyang."
"There are hundreds of killers. If it weren't for the experts and guards around me who desperately protected me, I would have died a long time ago."
"After investigation by Erchen, it was found that all those killers came from an organization called Bai Niao."
"General Ji, I heard that you founded this Hundred Birds Organization?"
When Ji Wuye heard this, he took a step forward and waved his hands with an angry look on his face: "That's nonsense!"
"How come this general is related to a killer organization that has no reputation?"
"Lord Sikou, you have really misunderstood me."
"No, I would like to state solemnly here that I have nothing to do with that Hundred Birds organization."
"This must be a trick by some thieves, such as Tianze and his gang, to frame him."
"The purpose is to drive a wedge between Korean courtiers and make us suspicious of each other and kill each other so that we can reap the benefits!"
"Lord Sikou is a hero of the royal family, so he cannot fall for such a simple trick."
"This general, a rough guy like me, can see it. There's no reason why Lord Siko can't see it, right?"
Han Fei's words caused an uproar among the courtiers who didn't know the news, and then they were filled with indignation.
Originally, the remnants of Baiyue were causing trouble, which already made them feel very insecure, and now there is a force that is doing this kind of thing...
Can I still stay in Korea? Can I still be an official in Korea?
Ji Wuye's explanation sounds quite reasonable. There is no evidence to prove the relationship between Bai Niao and Ji Wuye, but you can freely prove it.
Although not everyone knows about Ji Wuye, there are still some people who know about him, such as Kaifangdi, Han Yu, and Han Wangan, but they don't know everything.
As long as these people reveal Ji Wuye's details in private and add fuel to the flames, Ji Wuye will definitely be disgusted by most of them.
Some things have been done without being discovered, and everyone will pretend they didn't see it. However, once it is disclosed, there must be a certain resistance attitude.
Although disgust cannot hurt Ji Wuye, it can affect Ye Muye's potential, making it difficult for talents to rely on him.
Who would want to take refuge with a master whose reputation has been ruined?
Unless you are a bastard with no bottom line, the more such bastards seek refuge, the faster the night will fall into the abyss.
How many talented people are there in the bottomless mess?
Maybe, but there are more pig teammates who succeed but fail.
"How can some old Baiyue people gather so many people?"
"How can we use the powerful crossbows in the army to shoot?"
Han Fei would not follow Ji Wuye's lead. He asked questions one after another and even revealed a shocking news.
"What?"
"The thief actually has a powerful crossbow in the army?"
Ji Wuye was shocked, and then changed the subject.
"This must be a scum in the army. When the next court comes, I, the general, will definitely find out the scum among the generals."
"As for having so many people, it doesn't seem strange to me."
"Tian Ze is, after all, the former crown prince of the Baiyue Kingdom. It's not unusual to have some old subordinates under his command."
"Maybe there are foreign forces secretly supporting them. Regardless of the possibility, some manpower is not difficult to find."
"Lie to Kangxi"
Ji Wuye's words of evasion were acceptable, but the eyes of the courtiers who were not from the night family looked at Ji Wuye more and more strangely.
Han Wangan's eyes were also a little strange, but he did not lose his mind. The most important thing in the way of power is to avoid losing your mind.
Once you lose your mind, you will not be able to correctly weigh the pros and cons, which will be harmful to yourself.
Ji Wuye can be beaten, but cannot be removed.
At least it can't be removed now.
He had just become the King of Korea not long ago, and the power he held was not large enough. The forces between North Korea and China needed to be balanced.
Kaifangdi and Ji Wuye are the two poles of power, and the others are weights and can be added to both sides according to the situation.
Once Ji Wuye is attacked, South Korea's power will be unbalanced, and most importantly, it will cause civil strife in South Korea, and the gains will outweigh the losses.
We still need to continue to endure it until we find someone who can replace Ji Wuye...
To be continued...
