Chapter 233 Reform
Zhang Kai made up his mind.

Bai Jing, no, Tianzong is the hope for a turnaround in South Korea, we can't be careless.

Then, under the leadership of Zhang Liang, they finally met Bai Jing.

"Oh, Zhang Xiang is here too.

It's so rare to see you in a place like this."

Han Fei smiled.

Zhang Kai snorted coldly and did not bother with Han Fei. In order to solve the case of the ghost soldier robbery, it would be okay if Han Fei was proud for a while.

"I heard from Liang Er that you have a way to solve the case of the ghost soldier robbery?"

Zhang Kaidi went straight to the point without any polite words.

In fact, given his status, it was normal for him to be a little arrogant and look down on Han Fei.

He was the prime minister and the head of the civil servants in Korea. Even though he was suppressed by Ji Wuye in the court, he was still second only to two people.

Even the Crown Prince of Korea was friendly to Zhang Kaidi and tried his best to win him over.

Han Fei was an unfavored prince and actually did not have a very high status in the Kingdom of Han.

"nature."

Han Fei nodded. Of course, this was just empty talk. He had no idea why the gold disappeared out of thin air.

But as for verbal promises, Han Fei is well versed in the art of making empty promises!
"Okay! If you can solve this case, I promise you that you will be rewarded handsomely later!"

He said, patting his chest.

"slow."

Han Fei was not satisfied.

Zhang Kai frowned and said, "Why, do you have any other requests?"

"Prime Minister Zhang, to handle a case, you need an identity after all.

Otherwise, other officers and soldiers won’t listen to me when I supervise them.”

Han Fei smiled.

The frown deepened.

He finally understood what Han Fei meant, which was to ask him to find a position for him in the court.

Zhang Kaidi did have the ability, but he didn't want to agree.

If it is just an official position, then it doesn’t matter.

But Han Fei is the ninth son of King Han. If he helps Han Fei enter the court, wouldn't that mean to the outside world that he wants to support Han Fei to take the throne!

This is no small matter.

"I can give you my warrant. With this warrant, you can investigate the case. No one dares to stop you."

The old fox's cunningness was revealed as he was stingy and unwilling to give a penny.

He only needs to take back the warrant after everything is settled, and Han Fei will not get any benefit.

"A warrant is not enough."

Han Fei shook his head and continued to bargain with Zhang Kaidi.

The two foxes, one big and one small, were in a stalemate for almost an hour.

Bai Jing and Hong Lian were watching happily from the side. They ate the cakes and drank the wine, but it was a pity that there were no melon seeds.

"No! Let's not talk about this anymore!"

He refused sternly.

"Oh?"

Han Fei was not surprised.

If Zhang Kaidi would agree so painfully, he would not be sitting in his current position.

The reason why Zhang Kaidi has been able to compete with Ji Wuye until now is because of his cautious nature, which makes it impossible for Ji Wuye to find fault with him and completely bring him down.

Otherwise, the night created by Ji Wuye would cover the entire South Korea and penetrate almost every pore. With Zhang Kaidi's power, how could he be Ji Wuye's opponent?

"Zhang Xiangke, you need to think carefully. Father has only given you ten days. If you cannot solve the case within ten days, the subsequent punishment will be very severe."

Hearing this, Zhang Kaidi's face turned ugly.

He knew Ji Wuye's character very well. He was a vicious wolf. Once he got the chance, he would definitely bite off a piece of flesh from him.

Even if the King of Han intends to let him go after ten days, Ji Wuye will not let it go.

After weighing the pros and cons, Zhang Kaidi asked again: "What position do you want?" "Si Kou!"

Han Fei said immediately, obviously having thought about it beforehand.

"Si Kou..."

Zhang Kaidi was in charge of the civil servants, so he naturally knew what the position of Sikou was.

Sikou was an official position derived from the founding of the Western Zhou Dynasty. It was in charge of judicial activities, hunting down thieves and even executing ministers according to the law.

However, later on, when the Zhou emperor divided the world into fiefdoms, other vassal states began to imitate the Zhou system, and naturally South Korea was no exception.

"It turns out that the Ninth Prince intends to take charge of the laws of our country!"

Zhang Kaidi understood clearly in his heart that he was not completely unaware of Han Fei's experience of studying in Xiaoshengxianzhuang.

It is said that Han Fei and Xunzi studied but did not practice Confucianism, but were the epitome of Legalism, and even annotated books.

"You are still too naive. Since ancient times, the law does not apply to officials. The law is just a rule to restrain the common people. To the nobles, it is just a piece of waste paper!"

"Okay, I promise you! I'll give you the position of Sikou!"

A gleam of light flashed in Zhang Kai's eyes, and he said, "But, you must answer a question for me first!"

"Please speak, Prime Minister Zhang."

Hearing this, Han Fei looked delighted, thinking that this matter would soon be done, and he agreed directly.

He believed that with his talent and knowledge, he would be able to bring changes to Korea, just like Shang Yang of Qin. After the reform, Qin's national strength became increasingly strong and became an existence that the six countries could not ignore.

'I'm no worse than him!'

Han Fei was full of pride, but he quickly collected his mind. The post of Sikou was the beginning of his reform, so he couldn't get carried away now.

Zhang Kai took a deep breath and slowly said, "Do you have the ambition to seize the throne?"

Han Fei was puzzled and asked, "Why did Prime Minister Zhang say that?"

"That means no?"

"Ah."

Hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes.

He is experienced and has a sharp eye. He knows where the real obstacles and difficulties to reform lie.

Unless Han Fei ascends the throne and becomes the king of Han, this so-called reform will be nothing but empty talk.

The reason why Shang Yang was successful was because he had the support of Qin Xiaogong!

That is a wise ruler!
On the other hand, South Korea...

Putting hope on the prince who is about to ascend the throne, huh...

Han Fei felt anxious. Could it be that Zhang Kaidi was not satisfied with the answer? Then what would happen to the position of Sikou that was promised to him?

But he really had no intention of seizing the throne!

"I promised, you will receive the appointment tomorrow."

The look in his eyes was complicated, it was the gloom of seeing hope, and then the hope being shattered again.

"Thank you, Zhang Xiang!"

Han Fei was overjoyed and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Remember what you promised me!"

He waved his sleeves and left without even taking Zhang Liang with him.

"If you fail to solve the case, I will push you out and hand you over to the king for punishment!"

As the words fell, Zhang Kaidi's figure disappeared in Zi Lan Xuan.

Zhang Liang was helpless: "Brother Han, don't worry about it."

"It doesn't matter."

Han Fei waved his hands and said, "If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. Zhang Xiang is a shrewd man and has a backup plan.

I successfully solved the case, and most of the credit went to Zhang Xiang, and I was awarded the position of Sikou.

And if I fail, there will be a young master who will help Zhang Xiang bear the blame.

It is precisely because of these two options that Prime Minister Zhang agreed to my request."

Han Fei was very insightful and had already seen through Zhang Kaidi's plan.
