Chapter 213: Court Game, Goal Achieved
South Korea, Royal Palace of Korea.
The Palace of King Han is majestic, broad and grand. On both sides are two huge stone dragons, soaring into the sky, highlighting the dignity of the Palace of King Han.
The front of the King of Han's Palace is a beautiful white marble wall with exquisite lines carved in it. The stone wall rises from the ground and is very tall. From a distance, it looks majestic and exquisite.
The Korean civil and military officials stood on both sides, with the Blood-Robed Marquis Bai Yifei leading the group of generals. He was wearing a blood-red robe, his white hair falling down his back, and his eyes always revealing indifference.
Ji Wuye was wearing general's armor and a blood-red cloak behind him, and his eyes were uncertain.
Led by Prime Minister Zhang Kaidi and the fourth young master Han Yu, they stood at the front of the team with solemn expressions, leading many civil officials. Zhang Kaidi was shrewd and had a blank expression on his face.
Han Yu stood tall and straight, standing out from the crowd, with the bearing of a gentleman.
King An of Han was wearing a royal robe, sitting upright with a solemn look and sharp eyes, showing the demeanor of a king.
Han Wangan was surprised and asked, "Wei Zhuang?"
Han Fei stood in the middle of the room, bowed and saluted, and replied: "Wei Zhuang's teacher is from Guigu, and he is proficient in all military strategies. He is the perfect candidate for the post of Sili."
Han Wangan was silent for a moment, then said, "He is indeed a rare talent."
Although King Han An was stupid and incompetent, he knew about Guiguzi's reputation. At that time, the various schools of thought were the most active, and everyone wanted to use his own theories to save the seven countries from dire straits.
The Guigu Sect suddenly appeared and divided the world with its vertical and horizontal strategies. The appearance of each generation of Guigu disciples could stir up the situation in the seven countries, making the monarchs of the seven countries love and hate them.
Sun Bin, Pang Juan, Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Gongsun Yan, the appearance of each of them will bring about earth-shaking changes in the peaceful Seven Kingdoms. In Guigu Valley, people are suffering and blood is flowing.
Thanks to the fact that the predecessors before Guigu were too fierce, now that the name of Guigu is known, monarchs of all countries have to think twice in their hearts.
Ji Wuye stepped forward, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, Wei Zhuang is a man you cannot trust lightly."
"As far as I know, his senior brother Gai Nie is highly valued by the King of Qin. If Han uses Wei Zhuang, it is inevitable that the two of them will have a secret relationship in the future."
Han Fei argued, "General Ji, what you said is wrong. All the disciples of Guiguzi have always been enemies and friends. Looking at the history of Guiguzi, Sun Bin and Pang Juan, Su Qin and Zhang Yi, each of them showed what they learned. How can the two of them collude with each other when they are against each other?"
"General Ji, Han Fei suggests that you read more books. After all, these can all be verified."
Ji Wuye showed anger on his face, but he quickly suppressed it. Although it was the truth, he could not let the ministers laugh at him.
Bai Yifei holds a different view and proudly says: "It is widely said among the people that Guigu is angry and the princes are all together, and the shadow of Guigu is behind the disputes among the seven countries."
Bai Yifei also walked in the middle and continued, "In my opinion, it is better to stay away from them."
Zhang Kai bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Korea is surrounded by powerful enemies and is in a dangerous situation. It is a time when we need to recruit talents. How can we stop eating because of rumors?"
"Wei Zhuang is a disciple of Guiguzi, and is proficient in all military strategies. He is just right to contribute to South Korea and bring great protection to South Korea's stability."
Ji Wuye laughed and said, "I didn't expect Prime Minister Zhang to be so strong in protecting you. Could it be that you also have a close relationship with the Ninth Young Master?"
King Han An's expression changed. The king of South Korea focused on royal power and ruled his subjects with an imperial mentality, and so did King Han An.
What he focused on was the balance of the court and would not endanger his own power. As the prime minister, Zhang Kaidi completely sided with Han Fei, which he absolutely could not tolerate.
Ji Wuye said this at this time with sinister intentions, intending to use Han Wangan's mind to destroy Wei Zhuang's becoming the Si Li.
Han Fei obviously knew Ji Wuye's thoughts, and said politely: "Prime Minister Zhang and I recommended Wei Zhuang together, just because we value his talent. General Ji, some things cannot be confused."
The two held different opinions, and Han Wangan couldn't be sure who was right, so he asked Han Yu directly: "Old Four, what do you think about this matter?"
Han Yu stepped out and said politely, "I think it is very risky to rashly entrust an important task to someone whose background is unknown."
As soon as Han Yu said this, Ji Wuye's face was filled with a smug smile.
However, Han Yu did not finish his words and continued, "However, the descendants of Guiguzi do have the ability to rule the world. Pang Juan led Wei Wu to become a hero in the Warring States Period, and Sun Bin entered Qi and wrote a peerless military book."
"Su Qin negotiated the alliance and was appointed as the leader of the alliance. He also wore the seals of the six countries, which made Qin dare not send troops to Hangu Pass for 15 years."
"Zhang Yi strengthened Qin, defeated the six kingdoms repeatedly with his horizontal strategy."
"The talent of Wei Zhuang is probably not inferior to that of Sun Bin and Zhang Yi. Now that he has appeared in the Kingdom of Han, it is a pity to keep him unused."
The smile on Ji Wuye's face no longer existed. His eyes were uncertain as he stared at Han Yu. Han Yu's words now made him feel uneasy.
"I recommend."
Han Yu continued, "It would be better to recruit Wei Zhuang first, and then appoint someone trustworthy to assist him, so that we can check and balance him and maintain the overall situation."
Although Sili had great power, he was constrained by Zuoyi and was caught in a dilemma. He had to cleverly maintain a balance.
Ji Wuye was furious: "Han Yu, you old fox are plotting against me."
How could Ji Wuye not know by now that Han Yu and Han Fei had formed an alliance and had their eyes on the positions of Sili and Zuoyi, wanting to grab a piece of fat from the military and political system.
Han Wangan laughed and said, "This is a brilliant plan."
Han Yu's approach perfectly hit the mark of Han Wangan's inner thoughts. The emperor's mind is all about balance. Now that the two positions are restraining each other and achieving a balance, Han Wangan is naturally not worried.
It can be seen that Han Yu's imperial mentality has reached the level of perfection.
Han Wangan continued to ask: "Old Four, is there anyone who can take on the Zuo Yi position?"
Even if Han Wangan was incompetent, he could see the discord between the two parties. In order for Han Yu to support Han Fei, there must be a deal between them.
Han Fei bowed and said, "Brother, you have considered everything. I think your adopted son Han Qiancheng is the most suitable candidate for the post of assistant to Yi."
King Han An showed a satisfied smile. Han Fei's men were appointed as Sili, and Han Yu's adopted son became Zuoyi. It was absolutely impossible for the two princes with different troops to unite together.
The balance of mutual restraint is what Han Wangan values most.
Ji Wuye's expression remained unchanged, but secretly, he clenched his fists tightly, veins bulging and making crackling sounds, he was very angry.
Bai Yifei's face was calm, as if he was indifferent to the situation. However, his inner anger could be seen from the dropping temperature around him.
Ye Mu's plan failed this time, as the gap in the military and political situation was opened by Han Fei and Han Yu. Ye Mu's future actions must be more covert.
At this time, a soldier rushed into the hall, knelt on one knee to salute, and shouted loudly: "Report."
