Chapter 144 I will be a superior person in the future

Han Wangan looked at his son in front of him and felt a strange feeling.

Whether Bai Yifei was killed or executed, although the result was that Bai Yifei died, the nature of the matter was completely different. Could Han Fei have come up with such a cruel method?
Han Wangan knew his son well. He was smart, and was definitely the best among his brothers. But as for his methods? He was too honest and lacked ruthlessness. Han Fei could think of many methods, but he would not use them.

So, who was behind Bai Yifei's death?
What role did Yang Chong, the murderer, play in this?
How will Ji Wuye react?
For a moment, these questions flooded into Han Wangan's mind at the same time, and he fell silent.

Just then, Ji Wuye also arrived, and with him came Yang Chong.

"Yang Chong, this time you killed Tianze and rescued the prince, which is a great achievement. Tell me, how should I reward you?" Han Wangan, who was unable to express his opinion on the matter of Bai Yifei, directly changed the topic to Tianze and the prince. He still needed some time to sort out the matter of Bai Yifei's death.

"Your Majesty, Yang Chong's achievements are not just killing Tianze and rescuing the prince." Han Wangan also left himself time to maximize the benefits of Bai Yifei's death, but Ji Wuye would not give Han Wangan a chance. He now only wanted to characterize Bai Yifei's death and then divide the inheritance left by Bai Yifei.

"Anything else?" Han Wangan looked at Ji Wuye, and the intrigue between the monarch and his subjects began.

"Yang Chong has also uncovered the mastermind behind all this, Snow Robe Marquis Bai Yifei. Your Majesty, Bai Yifei is dead now, but the Snow Robe Marquis' influence in the military and local areas has been complicated over the past two generations. In order to avoid unrest, we need to clean them up and appease them as soon as possible." Ji Wuye said.

"Does the general have any candidates to recommend?" asked Han Wangan. He didn't know what to do. He could only wait and see what Ji Wuye was going to do and then act accordingly.

"Reporting to the king, this matter must be handled by me. If it is someone else, something unexpected might happen." Ji Wuye replied.

"If the general comes forward, it will naturally be enough to solve all problems. However, the Snow Robe Marquis's Mansion also has considerable influence in Nanyang. Those people are not from the army, so it is not convenient for the general to come forward." Han Wangan murmured.

At this time, King Han An was relieved. Although he was shocked, he also found some truth from Ji Wuye's words.

Ji Wuye did not intend to take advantage of Bai Yifei's death to cause trouble. Instead, he wanted to divide the inheritance left by Bai Yifei. This means that Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei were not of the same mind.

However, it was precisely because of this that Han Wangan realized that he must not let Ji Wuye monopolize Bai Yifei's inheritance. If that happened, Ji Wuye's strength would only become more terrifying. But who else could divide the inheritance left by Bai Yifei with Ji Wuye?

Han Wangan thought about it and looked at Han Fei in front of him. Through Han Fei, he thought of a person: Wei Zhuang.

Wei Zhuang was a disciple of the School of Diplomacy. As a disciple of Guiguzi, he could be treated with courtesy in any country. In this era, although there were many schools of thought, the most valuable "graduate" was definitely the School of Diplomacy.

It can be said that Wei Zhuang can gain a high position in any country just by relying on his identity, and no one will doubt his strength. If Wei Zhuang is pushed forward, it would be a good choice, because Wei Zhuang is Han Fei's man, and Han Fei and Ji Wuye are mortal enemies.

Han Wangan was thinking that he had already regarded Wei Zhuang as an excellent tool, but all this required a prerequisite, that is, Ji Wuye's cooperation.

He knew very well that without Ji Wuye's cooperation, even if he pushed Wei Zhuang forward, it would be difficult for Wei Zhuang to occupy the military power vacuum left by Bai Yifei's death.

If he wants Ji Wuye to cooperate, he needs to give Ji Wuye something in exchange that will make his heart beat. But Ji Wuye is already a great general now. What does he care about most?

Han Wangan pondered and gradually came up with an idea. He looked at Yang Chong and said, "Han Fei is the Sikou, and he is in charge of the prison. Since Bai Yifei is plotting a rebellion, Han Fei can go to Nanyang to investigate the illegal activities of the Marquis of Xueyi's mansion. In addition, Wei Zhuang has also made great contributions in uncovering Bai Yifei's conspiracy this time, so he can serve as the left Sima to assist Han Fei in the investigation."

"Your Majesty..." Ji Wuye was about to stop him when he heard Han Wangan continue, "Yang Chong has made the greatest contribution in this incident and should be rewarded. We should promote Yang Chong to Sima and put him in charge of the internal and external defense of Xinzheng. What do you think, General?"

"Huh?" Ji Wuye was stunned and couldn't react for a moment.

Although the General's Mansion is extremely powerful, it is impossible for it to completely control the defense of Xinzheng and the royal palace. After all, this is Han Wangan's territory. No matter how incompetent Han Wangan is, it is impossible for him to hand over all the military power of Xinzheng to Ji Wuye. That would not be incompetent, but mentally retarded.

The army of Xinzheng is divided into three systems. One is the palace guards. There are not many of them, only 3,000 people, but they are one of the most elite troops in the Han army. The other system is the army guarding the walls and gates of Xinzheng. This part of the army has the largest number of people, enough to be 12,000 people, under the command of the right Sima, and the last army has 5,000 people, responsible for patrolling and inspecting the public security in Xinzheng City and outside the palace, which is under the charge of the left Sima. Since the death of Li Kai, the position of the right Sima has been vacant, and Ji Wuye can only continue to infiltrate it. The people in the general's mansion are at most equal to those of Han Wangan. In the left Sima department, after Liu Yi's death, although Ji Wuye took the opportunity to add a lot of water to the left Sima department, he only controlled less than half of the left Sima department.

It can be said that in Xinzheng, the army controlled by the General's Office is not necessarily much larger than that of Han Wangan. But now, Han Wangan wants Yang Chong to take up the position of Sima. You must know that the position of Sima is one of the five official positions together with Situ, Sikong, Sishi and Sikou, and is in charge of military affairs and military taxes. For many years, the Kingdom of Han only had left and right Sima, but no Sima. This shows how crucial the position of this official position is and how important the power is.

But now, Han Wangan is preparing to let Yang Chong take the position of Sima, and Yang Chong is from the General's Mansion. Ji Wuye quickly calculated the pros and cons. Is this the exchange condition for letting Han Fei and Wei Zhuang participate in the division of Bai Yifei's inheritance?

Ji Wuye thought about it and felt that he couldn't refuse the condition proposed by King Han! Once Yang Chong took the post of Sima, the entire Xinzheng, except for the royal guards of the palace, all the armed forces in Xinzheng City would be under the jurisdiction of the general. How could such a temptation be comparable to those forces in Nanyang?

As for whether Yang Chong would listen to the General's Mansion, Ji Wuye was not worried about it. Not to mention that it would be difficult for Han Wangan and Yang Chong to reconcile, what would happen even if the two reconciled?
Yang Chong was a lonely man, and even if he was appointed as Sima, it was still unclear whether his subordinates would listen to him. However, he could use Yang Chong to infiltrate his people into the left and right Sima departments and sideline Yang Chong. Then, even if Yang Chong turned against him, he would not be afraid.

Ji Wuye weighed the pros and cons and he was tempted.

"General, what do you think of my appointment?" Han Wangan asked again. This monarch and his subject knew each other very well. He believed that Ji Wuye would not refuse his appointment of Yang Chong.

"Your Majesty, your opinion is brilliant. I have no objection." Ji Wuye bowed his head and said.

Finally, after some bargaining and harmonious consultations between the monarch and his subjects, Bai Yifei's death was determined, and Han Wangan and Ji Wuye's men began to attack everywhere to accept the inheritance left by Bai Yifei.

It can be said that in Bai Yifei's death, everyone got what they wanted. The only one who died was Bai Yifei, and the only one who was injured was the tide demon Madam Mingzhu.

In the bedroom, Madam Mingzhu felt cold all over. Bai Yifei was dead, her cousin was dead. As one of the Four Evil Generals of the Night, she was very clear about her position. But now Bai Yifei was dead. Bai Yifei, who controlled an army of 100,000, had great martial arts skills, was a marquis for two generations, and had absolute influence in Nanyang, was dead, and he died so easily.

Who killed my cousin then? Was it the king, Ji Wuye, or Yang Chong? Madam Mingzhu stirred the incense in the incense burner unconsciously, her body trembling.

She knew very well that Yang Chong only killed Bai Yifei and took Bai Yifei's life, but Han Wangan and Ji Wuye killed Xueyi Hou and ruined his cousin's reputation. In this matter, from Yang Chong to Ji Wuye and Han Wangan, they were all murderers.

What about me? What is Ji Wuye and Yang Chong's attitude towards me? Madam Mingzhu didn't dare to imagine it anymore. What if Ye Mu was also going to attack her? Would he have the strength to resist?
What if Han Wangan knew her background?
Without Ye Mu's support, could she still be a seductress who controls Han Wangan's harem?

Madam Mingzhu thought about it and felt that her future was bleak, and all this was because of Yang Chong.

No, this is also because of me? Madam Mingzhu suddenly thought of a situation. It was she who took the initiative to provoke Yang Chong, and it was she who told Bai Yifei the news that Yang Chong was going to capture Tianze. Otherwise, Bai Yifei would not have led the white-armored soldiers to kill Yang Chong.

There was nothing wrong with this matter, because Bai Yifei should have been invincible with the white-armored soldiers on his left and right. In terms of personal martial arts, even Ji Wuye, who was known as the strongest general in Korea in the past hundred years, was not Bai Yifei's opponent. But something unexpected happened.

She and Bai Yifei underestimated Yang Chong's strength.

So, I am the culprit? Mrs. Mingzhu felt even darker when she thought of this.

No matter how gloomy Madam Mingzhu's mood was, most people were happy about Bai Yifei's death.

In just three days, Bai Yifei's inheritance was divided up by Han Wangan, Ji Wuye, Han Fei, and even Han Yu and Zhang Kaidi. In addition to getting the position of Sima, Yang Chong also got a mansion, Bai Yifei's Snow Robe Marquis Mansion.

Standing in the spacious and bright hall of the Marquis of Snow Clothes Mansion, Yang Chong smiled at Yan Lingji beside him and said, "I will be a superior person in the future!"
