Unless he completely sides with Qin and serves Qin.

If he were willing to serve the Qin state, he wouldn't be the unruly Han Fei he once was.

Conversely, if he were to actually serve the Qin state, Ying Zheng would be overjoyed.

Jiang Chuan didn't care what Han Fei would choose.

As long as Han Fei doesn't cause me any trouble while I'm in South Korea, that's fine.

As for whether there is another Zhang Kaidi besides Han Fei?

Jiang Chuan didn't take him seriously, considering him just an old scoundrel.

Not long after talking with Ru Shuang, Jiang Chuan took the initiative to enter the palace and meet the King of Han.

This time, it wasn't a secret rendezvous with Lady Mingzhu at the palace.

Instead, they entered the palace openly and legitimately.

When he arrived at the palace, the King of Han had been waiting for him for a long time.

As someone actively courted by the King of Han, Bai Yifei had become the most powerful figure in the Han army after Ji Wuye's death. Even the King of Han had to give Bai Yifei some face and naturally dared not treat him lightly.

Upon seeing the other party, the King of Han asked softly, "General, what brings you to see me today?"

Despite being disguised as Bai Yifei, Jiang Chuan maintained a composed demeanor even before the King of Han, saying, "I have come here regarding the matter of the Ninth Prince and Prime Minister Zhang."

Upon hearing this, the King of Han immediately frowned.

To be fair, he didn't want to punish these two people.

Zhang Kai was completely obedient to him and was a key figure in his power struggles. Han Fei, on the other hand, was his son. Since returning to the country, he had repeatedly demonstrated his extraordinary talents. As a member of the royal family, he was naturally an asset to the next king. Of course, King Han would not easily deal with Han Fei.

The reason these two people have been kept in custody is because they are indeed suspected of murdering Ji Wuye.

As the former top military leader, Ji Wuye has many followers in South Korea. If these two people are released rashly, it could very likely cause a stir.

However, it's not easy to convict these two people.

Therefore, the King of Han decided to imprison them for the time being and release them later when the opportunity arose.

Unexpectedly, Bai Yifei brought up these two people today.

"Has the General found evidence that they plotted to murder Ji Wuye?" King Han asked Bai Yifei.

Jiang Chuan shook his head and said, "That's not the case."

"But I feel that the Ji Wuye case has dragged on for too long, and it's time to close it."

"We have confirmed that Wei Zhuang is the murderer of the former General Ji Wuye and his son. We have now issued an arrest warrant for Wei Zhuang."

"Since there is no concrete evidence to prove that the Ninth Prince and Prime Minister Zhang instigated Wei Zhuang, it is not appropriate to keep them imprisoned any longer. Therefore, it is time to release them."

When King Han heard Jiang Chuan's words, he was taken aback. He did not expect that Marquis Xueyi would take the initiative to release Han Fei and Zhang Kaidi. However, after a moment's thought, King Han realized why.

Because Bai Yifei is the current Grand General.

Ji Wuye was already dead after all.

This case has been under investigation for so long, there's no point in dragging it out any longer.

... .. 0

All we can say is that, no matter when or where, King Han always wanted to appease the situation.

He didn't want to cause trouble unnecessarily.

"It's wonderful that the General thinks this way."

"I then issued an edict to release Han Fei and Zhang Kaidi."

Jiang Chuan nodded and then said, "Besides that, there's one more thing."

"What is it?" King Han asked curiously.

Jiang Chuan said, "Your Majesty should know about the recent events in Qin."

Upon hearing the words "Qin State," the King of Han immediately became serious and solemn.

"Of course I know that after the King of Qin came of age and assumed personal rule, he first eliminated the newly powerful Marquis of Changxin, Lao Ai, and then dismissed Lü Buwei from his position as prime minister. His various ruthless methods are truly chilling. I am really worried that this young King of Qin will become another King Zhaoxiang of Qin!"

The former King Zhaoxiang of Qin was a nightmare for the six states east of the mountains. Even though he has been dead for many years, two more Qin rulers succeeded him before the current King Ying Zheng came to power.

However, the shadow cast by King Zhaoxiang of Qin on the six states east of the mountains was not so easily erased.

Jiang Chuan said, "It is precisely because this young King of Qin has shown such terrifying skills that our Han state is weak and needs to be on good terms with Qin. Only in this way can we avoid Qin's invasion of Han state."

"What does the Great General plan to do?" King Han asked Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan then shared his thoughts.

Chapter 194 Catering to the King of Qin's Tastes

"As far as I know, this young King of Qin is a proponent of Legalism and is extremely fond of Shang Yang's 'Book of Lord Shang.' In addition to 'Book of Lord Shang,' he has also read many other Legalist classics, including the works of Shenzi, who helped transform the state of Han from weak to strong."

Shenzi refers to Shen Buhai.

This person was also a Legalist.

After the State of Han conquered the State of Zheng, King Zhao of Han appointed him as prime minister. He presided over reforms in Han and served as prime minister for fifteen years. He "improved the government and education internally and responded to the other states externally." He helped King Zhao of Han implement the rule of law and the rule of tactics, which strengthened the monarchical autocracy of Han, stabilized the domestic political situation, limited the privileges of the nobility, and gradually made the people's lives more prosperous. It is said that "during Shenzi's lifetime, the state was well-governed and the army was strong, and no one invaded Han." In just fifteen years, Han became powerful.

Even though he has been dead for many years, he is an unforgettable figure for the Korean monarchs and their ministers during the "320" period.

The reign of King Zhao of Han was also the most prosperous period for the state of Han.

King Han An hopes that Korea can return to its former glory.

Unfortunately, that kind of thing is not so easy to do.

It was precisely because he couldn't achieve that he abandoned his many delusions and turned to maintaining the status quo, hoping that the state of Korea could continue to exist under his rule. As long as he didn't become a king who brought about the downfall of his country, he wouldn't mind ceding some cities to other countries.

Han Wang An was also very surprised after hearing Jiang Chuan's words. He did not expect that the Marquis in Blood Robe would know so much about the King of Qin.

Immediately afterwards, he heard the Marquis in Blood Robes say, "Ninth Prince Han Fei has studied abroad for many years, apprenticing under the Confucian master Xunzi. He combined what he learned in Confucianism with the Legalist teachings he learned from the Shenzi, and forged his own path, writing books and establishing his own doctrines..."

"By chance, the books written by the Ninth Prince were introduced to the Qin State and fell into the hands of the King of Qin."

"Does Your Majesty know what the King of Qin said after seeing the book written by the Ninth Prince?"

"What do you mean?" King Han asked hastily. He really didn't know that his son Han Fei, whom he had neglected in the past, was so talented. Not only did he study under Xunzi, the master of Confucianism, but he even wrote his own books.

This was a Han Fei whom the King of Han had never known before.

However, after learning that the King of Qin had read the books written by Han Fei, the King of Han was still somewhat uneasy.

He was unsure how the King of Qin viewed Han Fei's books. If he disliked Han Fei's books, could it bring disaster to the State of Han?

If the books written by Han Fei truly brought disaster to the state of Korea, then Han Fei was indeed a great jinx!

He then heard Jiang Chuan say, "When the King of Qin read the book of the Nine Princes, it was as if a thunderbolt struck him, and he uttered the words that he wished he could travel with them arm in arm."

"Really? Really?" King Han was shocked.

He never expected that Han Fei would have such a high opinion of him in the eyes of the King of Qin.

What kind of book did Han Fei actually write?

How could the King of Qin, who had read extensively in Legalist classics, utter such words?

King Han felt he had a chance and should take a look.

Regardless of the circumstances, Han Fei was his son, and it was perfectly reasonable for him, as the father, to comment on the book his son had written.

“It’s true, of course,” Jiang Chuan said. “Although few people know about this, I found out about it through some secret channels.”

He did not explain what the so-called secret channels were.

He continued speaking to the King of Han, "Your Majesty, the King of Qin is so fond of the Ninth Prince's talent and learning; this is our opportunity!"

"What do you mean?" King Han felt he understood a little bit, but not completely.

Therefore, he needed the Blood-Clad Marquis in front of him to reveal all his plans.

"Send the Ninth Prince to Qin as a hostage, to remain there," Jiang Chuan stated his purpose.

"The King of Qin admires the Ninth Prince's talent so much. If the Ninth Prince goes to Qin, he will surely become a guest of honor of the King of Qin. The Ninth Prince is also a prince of our Han state, and he cares about Han state. As long as he says a few good words to the King of Qin from time to time, the King of Qin will definitely not wantonly conquer our Han state because of him."

"Should we send Han Fei as an envoy to Qin?" King Han's eyes flickered slightly.

He then thought of all the things Han Fei had done since returning to his country.

It must be said that Han Fei was very talented.

Since returning to his country, he has solved many long-standing cases, which has greatly changed the King of Han's perception of him.

The King of Han wanted to keep Han Fei and groom him as the next ruler.

But that was during the reign of the next generation of rulers. At least during his own time, King Han was an extremely conservative man who preferred to maintain the status quo and not make changes. Some of the things Han Fei did also subtly displeased him...

If Han Fei is kept in Korea, who knows how many more troubles he will cause.

Sending him to the Qin state, hoping to win the favor of the Qin king and thus prevent Qin from invading Han, seems like a good option.

More importantly, the King of Han never considered Han Fei as a candidate for crown prince.
