The Great Qin: Starting with marrying Jingni, I began my quest for immortality.

But after thinking it over, Han Yu gave up.

Because Zhang Kaidi and his ninth brother, Han Fei, were getting too close.

Han Fei was able to become Minister of Justice thanks to Zhang Kaidi's recommendation.

Zhang Kaidi's grandson, Zhang Liang, followed Han Fei around like a shadow.

In the past, Han Fei was not a favorite son of his father, which is why he chose to go abroad to study. Now that he has returned, Han Fei has changed his previous low-key and forbearing ways and has taken the initiative to enter the court and intervene in court affairs. He has also helped Zhang Kaidi and repeatedly opposed Ji Wuye.

It is obvious that Han Fei has also developed ambitions.

Even if his father doesn't like him, it doesn't change the fact that he is still his father's child.

Moreover, Han Yu was well aware that while his father relied on General Ji Wuye, he was also extremely wary of him.

Because the Grand General's prestige in the army was too great, he could command the entire Korean army with a single order. In order to avoid a mutiny in the army, the father could only keep appeasing the Grand General and at the same time secretly support Zhang Kaidi, hoping to weaken the Grand General's influence and, ideally, regain military power.

With such a close relationship between Zhang Kai and Han Fei, and Han Fei's repeated opposition to the Grand General greatly weakening the Grand General's power, no one knows whether the King will change his mind, gradually come to approve of Han Fei, or even, in order to curb the Grand General's power, appoint Han Fei as... Crown Prince.

It seems that Han Fei has the lowest chance of becoming the crown prince among all the princes.

But this is only what it appears to be.

Han Yu had been planning for many years. He knew his father very well. His father seemed weak and indecisive, but in reality, he was quite skilled in political maneuvering. Otherwise, he would not have been able to support Prime Minister Zhang Kaidi to oppose General Ji Wuye.

In the past, the crown princes followed the orders of General Ji Wuye without question. Even if the father knew this, he could not rashly depose the crown prince, because that might provoke a backlash from Ji Wuye.

But that's not the case now.

With the crown prince dead, the king is very likely to support a crown prince who is hostile to Ji Wuye.

In this situation, it seems that Han Yu could become the crown prince by opposing Ji Wuye, thereby gaining Zhang Kaidi's favor and his father's favor.

But the problem remains: Zhang Kaidi and Han Fei (chaf) are getting too close.

Under the same conditions, Zhang Kai is more likely to support Han Fei.

Since Zhang Kaidi's route was blocked, Han Yu had no choice but to seek help from another person, namely General Ji Wuye.

Ji Wuye was also surprised by Han Yu's honesty.

Originally, he planned to support a young master who lacked his own opinions to compete for the position of crown prince.

However, that would be quite difficult, even with a seductive woman in the palace whispering sweet nothings in his ear.

Now that Han Yu has found him, it's as if he's been given another option.

Han Yu is known for his virtue, and if he supports Han Yu, Han Yu is indeed very likely to become the crown prince.

What can I get in return?

Ji Wuye was also very frank and asked Han Yu.

Han Yu said, "I've heard that in the Qin state, the military nobility system is divided into seventeen levels, with the highest rank being called—Da Liangzao!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Wuye's gaze immediately sharpened.

The Grand Master of Ceremonies was the highest rank in the Qin state at the time, holding both military and political power. The power of this position was equivalent to that of a Grand General and a Chancellor combined.

Historically, the people who have served as Grand Master of Ceremonies are Shang Yang, Gongsun Yan, and Bai Qi, each of whom held a prestigious and renowned position.

Although the current Chancellor Lü Buwei is the Marquis of Wenxin, his title of marquis is not based on military merit.

It wasn't until the Qin state unified the six states that the original seventeen-level military merit nobility was changed to twenty levels. The original titles of Xiaofu, Keqing, and Zhengqing were eliminated, and Guanneihou and Chehou were incorporated into the military merit nobility system. The Da Liangzao was also downgraded from the highest military merit nobility to the sixteenth level.

"Although Qin does not have a Grand Master of Works now, Han can have one."

Han Yu looked at Ji Wuye and spoke again.

Ji Wuye was tempted after hearing Han Yu's words.

Even though he is now the Grand General of Han, there is still a rival, Zhang Kaidi, in the court. If he could go further and seize the position of Prime Minister, that would be true power over the court.

Ji Wuye suppressed his emotions and said to Han Yu, "Why should I believe your one-sided story?"

"The position of Grand Chancellor is no ordinary one. What if you become king and then suddenly change your mind? Wouldn't I be at a great disadvantage?"

Ji Wuye did not directly mention that Han Yu had become the crown prince, but instead revealed that the other party had become the king.

Ultimately, becoming the crown prince was merely a transitional stage in the process of becoming the king of Han.

Ji Wuye knew very well that Han Yu's ambition had never been to become the crown prince.

Han Yu knew that empty promises would hardly sway Ji Wuye, so he offered his second bargaining chip.

Chapter 128 The So-Called Surprise

"As far as I know, the General's son has been training in the army for several years?" Han Yu asked Ji Wuye, taking the initiative to talk about Ji Wuye's family affairs.

"So what if he is?" Ji Wuye's eyes turned slightly cold when he heard Han Yu mention his son.

He thought Han Yu was trying to threaten him with his son.

Soon, Ji Wuye realized he was wrong again.

"By now, Young General, you must be of marriageable age. I wonder if the General has any suitable candidates?" Han Yu asked with a faint smile, seemingly oblivious to Ji Wuye's cold gaze.

"What exactly are you trying to say?" Ji Wuye gradually lost patience because Han Yu mentioned his son.

Ji Wuye only has one son, whom he cherishes dearly.

There was no other way, because the cultivation method he practiced was an external martial art. In the initial stage of cultivation, it was necessary to preserve one's vital energy. Later, after the cultivation method was perfected, his vital energy was completely integrated into his body, which strengthened his physique.

Although he is still as capable as a normal person in that area, he has no more vital essence to release, making it extremely difficult for him to have offspring.

It's easy to imagine how happy Ji Wuye was about Ji Yihu's birth.

As the saying goes, "Like father, like son," so he named his son "Tiger." He hoped that he could have a second and a third son, so his first son was named Tiger.

Unfortunately, since then, many years have passed, and he has never had a second son.

Because he only had one son, Ji Wuye doted on him immensely.

From a very young age, Ji Wuye had always doted on him. Although this fostered Ji Yihu's arrogant and domineering personality, Ji Wuye didn't think it was a problem. After all, he was Ji Wuye's son. What did it matter if he was a little arrogant and domineering?

As Ji Wuye grew older, he felt that Ji Yihu, as his son, would eventually inherit his position in the army. So, he sent Ji Yihu to the army for training, and it has been almost three years since then.

I really miss that guy; I wonder how he's doing now.

As Ji Wuye coldly questioned Han Yu, he couldn't help but think of his son.

Han Yu doesn't need to worry about his son getting married.

"What does the General think of my younger sister, Honglian?"

"Considering her age, although Honglian is a bit younger than the young general, she is now of marriageable age."

Upon hearing Han Yu's words, Ji Wuye's eyes immediately flashed.

Princess Honglian was the most beloved princess of King Han and the jewel of the entire Xinzheng City. It would be wonderful if she could marry his son. Ji Yihu was his son, and ordinary women were naturally not worthy of him.

In the past, Ji Wuye had considered who Yihu should marry, but he had never thought of Princess Honglian.

Now, Han Yu has given him a new idea.

However, Ji Wuye still hesitated, "Do you think His Majesty would agree to this?"

Han Yu smiled and said, "It's all up to us; we have to give it a try."

"If we succeed, I would like to offer my best wishes here that the young general and my sister will be of one heart and mind and grow old together in harmony."

Ji Wuye smiled and said, "Then I'll take your good wishes."

He finally understood Han Yu's intention.

If the title of "Great Master" was merely a promise made by Han Yu...

So, marrying Princess Honglian to his son was the reward Han Yu had offered first.

If this matter succeeds, it wouldn't be unreasonable to have him side with Han Yu and help Han Yu become the crown prince.

……

Jiang Chuan's life returned to normal.

Normally, with Ru Shuang's guidance, he would learn some martial arts, and when he had free time, he would teach Yan'er to speak.

Now Yan'er can walk, but talking is obviously different from walking. Walking doesn't require much skill; as long as you grasp the key points, you can learn it quickly. But speaking is undoubtedly more difficult and requires teaching slowly.

Jiang Chuan had watched Yan'er grow up with his own eyes. Although she wasn't his biological child, the feeling was still very subtle. Of course, the main reason was that seeing Yan'er inevitably reminded him of his child from his previous life.

Raising Yan'er is perhaps Jiang Chuan's way of making up for the regrets of his previous life.

Besides accompanying Ru Shuang and raising Yan'er, Jiang Chuan would occasionally spar with Yan Ling Ji. After Tian Ze's death, all of Yan Ling Ji's obsessions were completely severed.

Rescuing the members of the Baiyue assassin group was the last thing she could do for Tianze.

As for killing Blood-Clad Marquis to avenge Tianze?

She was well aware of her own abilities.

She couldn't possibly be a match for Bai Yifei, so she simply gave up on the matter.

That's why, after learning that Bai Yifei was dead, killed by Jiang Chuan and Ru Shuang, Yan Lingji was extremely excited, and then she completely accepted her identity as Jiang Chuan's concubine.
