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

Unexpectedly, Han Yu directly proposed the matter of bestowing a marriage upon him.

Moreover, the person to whom the marriage was arranged was Princess Honglian.

However, Han Yu was right about one thing: Princess Honglian was indeed of marriageable age, and it was indeed time to find her a good husband.

But is this person Ji Yihu?

"Father, this is absolutely unacceptable!"

Before King Han could even agree after Han Yu finished speaking, Han Fei suddenly stepped forward and spoke loudly.

His face looked very pale.

I never expected my fourth brother, Han Yu, to make such a suggestion.

He absolutely would not allow Honglian to be betrothed to Ji Yihu.

Because Ji Yihu is Ji Wuye's son, if Honglian were to marry Ji Yihu, it would be tantamount to entering a tiger's den.

After Han Fei spoke, Zhang Kaidi quickly stepped forward to object, "Your Majesty, while the General's killing of Tianze was indeed a great achievement, Princess Honglian is of noble birth. How could she marry someone like Ji Yihu? In my humble opinion, Ji Yihu is completely unworthy of Princess Honglian."

"Therefore, I urge Your Majesty to bestow other honors and rescind the arranged marriage."

Unlike Han Fei, who was simply considering his younger sister's happiness, Zhang Kaidi viewed the issue from a political perspective.

Ji Wuye's power was already immense. After losing the Crown Prince, who trusted him greatly, although the King still valued him, as long as he held on until the new King ascended the throne, people like Ji Wuye would be like grasshoppers in autumn, unable to hop around for more than a few days.

Zhang Kaidi eagerly awaited that day.

However, if Princess Honglian marries Ji Yihu, it will mean that Ruoji Wuye will become a member of the royal family by marriage.

Princess Honglian, in particular, was the only princess of Korea, holding a transcendent status, and was greatly favored by the King of Korea.

If she marries Ji Yihu, even if the new emperor ascends the throne, will he spare Ji Wuye out of consideration for Princess Honglian?

This is something Zhang Kaidi cannot tolerate.

In short, Ji Wuye must absolutely not be allowed to become a member of the royal family by marriage.

"This..." King Han hesitated on his throne.

Honglian was his most beloved daughter.

Of course, he wanted to find a good husband for Honglian.

But is Ji Yihu really suitable?

King Han knew a bit about Ji Wuye's only son. The boy had inherited Ji Wuye's bravery and had joined the army a few years ago. However, that wasn't the most important thing. The most important thing was that Ji Yihu looked exactly like Ji Wuye—ugly.

Seeing that Han Fei and Zhang Kaidi had both objected, King Han considered the matter and prepared to reject Han Yu's proposal. Just then, Han Yu spoke up again: "Father, the General has rendered great service, how can he not be rewarded?"

"Your subject truly cannot think of any reason to object."

"In terms of merit and status, the Grand General is the leader of our Korean army, with an extraordinary position. In the past, he even repelled the Chu army of 200,000 and protected the safety of our Korean army."

"Ordinary gold and silver are simply not enough to reward the general and recognize his merits."

"Only by bestowing the Red Lotus upon the son of the Great General can we demonstrate the benevolence of our royal family."

"Moreover, as far as I know, the General has been worrying about the marriage of Young General Yi Hu all these years."

After Han Yu finished speaking.

As one of the parties involved, Ji Wuye naturally could not sit idly by and wait for his death.

He had anticipated that Han Fei and Zhang Kaidi would oppose the matter, but even if the two of them opposed it, it would not be able to stop the implementation of this plan.

Ji Wuye immediately bowed to King Han and said, "To be honest, Your Majesty, in recent years, I have been very worried about my son's marriage. If Your Majesty agrees, I would like to ask Your Majesty to bestow Princess Honglian upon my son."

“Ji Wuye will certainly do his best to serve the king and protect the territory of Han.”

Ji Wuye's words actually contained a hint of threat.

Even if Princess Honglian is not betrothed to Ji Wuye's son, wouldn't Ji Wuye still do his best to protect the state of Han?

However, when King Han heard Ji Wuye's words, he was not angry. Instead, he began to think about them seriously.

Ultimately, it was because King Han was weak-willed that he did not reign for as long as one might imagine, even though he was indeed quite old.

However, because his father lived so long, he was already quite old when he ascended the throne.

Strictly speaking, Ji Wuye was not the Grand General appointed after his ascension to the throne, but rather the Grand General during his father's reign.

It is precisely for this reason that he cannot completely control Ji Wuye.

Even if they secretly support Zhang Kaidi, they want to achieve a balance of power.

.. ......... ...

However, his reign was not particularly long, and he was still unable to control everything.

In fact, Ji Wuye played a role in enabling him to ascend to the throne.

King Han was well aware of Ji Wuye's power.

In the past, his father relied on Ji Wuye to stabilize the situation in Han.

If he wants to remain on the throne, he must rely on Ji Wuye's power; otherwise, the absurd words spoken by the Qin envoy in court earlier might come true.

Ji Wuye has made a great contribution this time, and it would be really unreasonable not to reward him.

High-ranking official position and generous salary.

For ordinary people, this would naturally be a great reward.

Ke Ji Wuye's status is already very high; it can be said that there is no higher title to be bestowed upon her.

Marrying Princess Honglian to Ji Wuye's son would make her relationship with Ji Wuye closer, and make Ji Wuye serve her more wholeheartedly.

But Ji Yihu is really ugly!

The King of Han was extremely conflicted.

Seeing the conflicted King Han, Han Fei and Zhang Kaidi knew his temperament well. They knew that when the King Han hesitated and wavered, he was very likely to be misled by the words of others and agree to the matter.

So Han Fei and Zhang Kaidi quickly spoke up again.

Han Yu had a very good chat with Ji Wuye at Ji Wuye's residence that day. Marrying his sister Honglian to Ji Wuye's son was one of the bargaining chips he offered. How could he let Han Fei and Zhang Kai ruin his big plan?

He spoke again, criticizing Zhang Kaidi.

Chapter 139 The Opportunity to Take His Place

“It is disheartening for meritorious officials not to be rewarded. I do not understand why Prime Minister Zhang would oppose this matter. General Ji Yihu is unmarried and Honglian is of marriageable age. Bestowing Honglian upon General Ji Yihu in marriage is a win-win situation.”

"However, Prime Minister Zhang obstructed it in every possible way. Why was that?"

"Or……"

Han Yu's tone shifted, his gaze turning deep as he looked at Zhang Kaidi. "As far as I know, Zhang Liang, the grandson of Prime Minister Zhang, is about the same age as Honglian. Could it be that Prime Minister Zhang's opposition to this matter is for the sake of his grandson, and he wants to arrange a marriage between him and Princess Honglian?"

"Fourth Young Master, stop talking nonsense!" Upon hearing Han Yu's words, Zhang Kaidi immediately flew into a rage, completely disregarding the fact that Han Yu was the Fourth Young Master, and refuted Han Yu.

Han Yu's expression remained unchanged as he continued, "As far as I know, Zhang Liang, the grandson of Prime Minister Zhang, has had a very good relationship with Honglian since childhood. It's understandable that he admired her at a young age."

"As for Ninth Brother, I can understand why he opposes this matter."

“Firstly, Ninth Brother and Zhang Liang are good friends. Zhang Liang has been following Ninth Brother since he was very young. Secondly, Ninth Brother’s position as Minister of Justice came from the recommendation of Prime Minister Zhang, so he will naturally stand on Prime Minister Zhang’s side.”

With just a few words, Han Fei directly defined the nature of Zhang Kaidi's and Han Fei's opposition.

It was concluded that Zhang Kaidi's grandson, Zhang Liang, was in love with Princess Honglian, and that Zhang Kaidi wanted to arrange for Zhang Liang to marry her, which was why he vehemently opposed the matter.

Han Fei was a member of Zhang Kaidi's faction. He became Minister of Justice on Zhang Kaidi's recommendation, and because he had a good relationship with Zhang Liang, he opposed it.

In short, both of them opposed it for Zhang Liang's sake.

After hearing Han Yu's distorted words, Zhang Kaidi's expression changed repeatedly, and he immediately refuted him.

However, Han Yu responded to him head-on.

For a time, the imperial court was as bustling as a vegetable market.

King Han fell into deep thought because of the many things Han Yu and Zhang Kaidi said.

Hearing the commotion around him, he immediately said in a deep voice, "Silence!"

For a moment, the court fell silent.

The King of Han said in a deep voice, "I need to consider this matter. Court is adjourned."

He immediately announced the end of the morning session.

……

Although the morning assembly has ended.

But the turmoil did not subside.

After all, the spark has already been set in motion.

Although the King of Han said he would consider it, he would eventually give an answer.

So?
