It's late at night, and the lights don't go out.

In the palace hall, King Han frowned and listened to Prince Han's slightly crying complaints, and his heart was extremely upset.

King Han never imagined that an ordinary banquet for foreign envoys would eventually evolve into such a situation.

The general Ji Wuye colluded with the net and wanted to kill the Korean prince and the Hanyang Jun of the Qin State at the banquet.

How do these sound weird words, but the scene in it is now really happening.

And now, regardless of the truth, regardless of the details of the case, and even the 1,000 military salaries provided by Prince Han as evidence of the crime, there is only one simple choice in front of King Han.

Ji Wuye or Prince Han?

King Han couldn't decide, and turned his head to look at Zhao Shuang, who was standing alone in the hall.

"Hanyang-kun, can you be frightened?"

"King Meng Han is worried, and this gentleman is fine."

"According to Hanyang-kun's view, how is this matter?"

This is a test of Prince Han's weight in King Han's heart, but this time the choice is not simple, because Prince Han is Zhao Shuang on his side.

Han Wang hopes to understand the cattiness through Zhao Shuang's words. It's a pity that Zhao Shuang's answer left King Han beyond reproach.

"This is an internal matter in South Korea, and this gentleman is not good to blame. Whether the general Ji Wuye is really the mastermind behind the scenes, I hope that King Han will investigate it in detail. ”

"The widow knows, so please ask Hanyang-kun to go down and rest first! Han Fei, you go and entertain you. ”

"Benjun has taken his leave!"

As Zhao Shuang, an outsider, retreated, the monarchs and ministers present fell into an eerie silence.

King Han endured the anger in his heart and smiled lightly.

"What a Korean housekeeper!"

King Han's voice made Prince Han, who was still sobbing, stunned and sluggish.

King Han looked at his son, what virtue he had, King Han knew very well.

In terms of talent and appearance, he is inferior to the fourth son Han Yu and the ninth son Han Fei, and the reason why he can become the crown prince is that King Han needs an easy-to-control heir, and the biggest reason is because of the primogeniture inheritance system.

Establishing a successor but not a virtuous person is a common law since ancient times.

Why?

Because meritocracy is a criterion, it is also the most prone to disputes, and as a force, the greatest need is to maintain stability.

First on the grandchildren, then on the elders and young, the least important thing is the virtuous.

A monarch, even if he has no talent, but knows how to use the talented people under him, will not ruin the country and his family.

In King Han's view, Prince Han himself has no talent and no virtue, and he doesn't know how to use talented and virtuous people, and he doesn't even know who is a talented and virtuous person?

His only advantage is that his existence can make the princes who covet the throne have no excuse to compete for the crown, and his natural title can also be accepted by the clans, clans, and military generals within Korea, so as to achieve stability within Korea.

But tonight, the crown prince who was supported by King Han really surprised him.

For example, a military general in a position like Ji Wuye, a slight loss is enough to set off turbulent waves in South Korea.

"Where is Ji Wuye?"

When King Han asked for this name, Prince Han instinctively trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of horror and confusion.

Han Yu stood up and said.

"Ji Wuye was captured by the left and right guards of His Royal Highness the Prince, and he is being held outside the palace at the moment."

"Let him in!"

Ji Wuye was shackled and escorted in, like a wounded beast, staring at Prince Han with a pair of eyes, as if he was going to eat him.

Prince Han's eyes dodged, and he didn't dare to face Ji Wuye directly, but his body moved backwards and hid behind King Han's throne.

"Ji Wuye, you are guilty."

"The last will be wronged."

Ji Wuye roared, and King Han was also a little surprised. He never thought that with the guard rate in Prince Han's mansion, he could capture Ji Wuye and make him so embarrassed.

Ji Wuye's injuries were very serious, but they were not fatal, and the most serious injuries also came from Xuan Jian and Wei Zhuang's swords, as for the later capture of the prince's mansion guard, he did not suffer many injuries.

"You're saying you didn't steal the 100,000 salaries?"

Ji Wuye's blood was surging, and he wanted to refute, but he couldn't stop coughing. But King Han's questioning did not stop, but became more and more severe.

"Or, in General Ji's opinion, the dozens of assassins in the prince's mansion were not for the purpose of killing people, but for other purposes?"

Ji Wuye's heart was terrified, he didn't expect that King Han, who had always been weak on the throne, was so strange to him at this moment.

Perhaps this is the majesty of a king.

Even though the king of Han is weak, he is also a generation of kings, the lord of Korea.

No one is more sober about the survival of South Korea than he is.

Looking at King Han's stern gaze, Ji Wuye suddenly realized a problem, that is, he had to bear this charge.

Because if he retracts his confession, then the spearhead will be reversed, and it will inevitably be pointed at Prince Han and Zhao Shuang.

And these two, no matter which one is involved, will inevitably overturn the situation in South Korea today.

What's more, two together?

Ji Wuye clenched his hands, not long ago, he was a high-ranking Korean general, but now, he has become a prisoner, and there are sufferings.

This is not even about the truth, King Han only needs a scapegoat to let this turmoil that may erupt into a monstrous chaos end as soon as possible.

Even if this scapegoat is innocent, King Han will not hesitate to pull it down and use it to fill the rift that could tear Korea apart.

What's more, Ji Wuye is not so innocent and innocent.

Zhao Shuang's son, as in the past, is very poisonous!

Ji Wuye cursed fiercely in his heart, but the current scene made him unable to say a word, so he could only lower his head and shout heavily.

"The last general is wronged!"

King Han looked at Ji Wuye, who was now silent, waved his sleeves, and commanded the guards on the left and right.

"Take it down, put it in the Black Iron Prison, and wait for it to be released."

"The last general is wronged!"

Ji Wuye's figure was gone, but his roar still echoed.

King Han waved his hand, looking very tired.

This matter is put to rest, and the position of general is temporarily vacant, which will be discussed later. Let's go down and rest first! ”

When King Han said this, Prince Han was anxious. He knew very well that between him and Ji Wuye, it was already an endless situation, but his father did not completely condemn Ji Wuye, but only put him on death row.

"Father!"

"Go down!"

King Han's low voice made Prince Han tremble, and then, he didn't dare to say more, and retreated stupidly.

"Wait for the resignation!"

Han Yu walked out of the hall and looked at the starry sky tonight, but his mood was a little complicated at the moment.

Is this Hanyangjun's method, so that people like Ji Wuye, who are ruthless and murderous, and have many scheming, are left to cry out for injustice.

The summer night was sweltering, but Han Yu's heart was a little cool.
