The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Zhao Yao did not kill Song Dachuan, but decided to use him and let Song Dachuan do his detailed work in the Southern Wei Dynasty. Keeping Song Dachuan alive was more useful than killing him.

Of course Song Dachuan would not obediently agree to Zhao Yao's proposal, but he had no right to refuse. Zhao Yao fed him poison. If he didn't agree to work for Zhao Yao, he would immediately bleed to death.

Despite Song Dachuan's awe-inspiring refusal, he was actually most afraid of death. There are very few people in this world who are not afraid of death. Besides, he wanted to trample Duan Jiangcheng under his feet, how could he die? Furthermore, Zhao Yao did not ask him to do anything dangerous, but only asked him to tell him the news about Southern Wei. Also, if he does things well, His Highness the King of Han will reward him heavily. After much thought, he felt that this was something that would be beneficial to him.

Zhao Yao also sent a person to follow Song Dachuan. One is to monitor Song Dachuan, and the other is to secretly protect Song Dachuan. Currently, Song Dachuan is valuable to Zhao Yao, so he cannot die for the time being.

Although he was dissatisfied with His Highness the King of Han for sending people to follow him, Song Dachuan did not dare to say anything.

In order to make Song Dachuan willing to work for him, Zhao Yao gave him a chance to make meritorious deeds. This opportunity will allow him to defeat Duan Jiangcheng, and Duan Jiangcheng will never be able to raise his head in front of him. He told Song Dachuan some news about that thing.

"How do you have news about that thing?" Song Dachuan looked unbelieving. He stared at Zhao Yao suspiciously, "Do you know what that thing is?"

Zhao Yao said in a casual tone: "The jade seal of the country."

Song Dachuan stood up suddenly in shock. He stared at Zhao Yao in disbelief: "How do you know?" The Jade Seal of the Southern Wei Dynasty is a secret of the Southern Wei people. Only those in important positions know this secret. Generally, The people of the Southern Wei Dynasty were not qualified to know this matter.

Seeing Song Dachuan's surprised look, Zhao Yao said with a smile: "Why can't I know?"

Song Dachuan believed that the King of Wei would not tell Zhao Yao such an important matter, so how did the King of Han know about it.

"Who told you?" Could it be that some of them from the Southern Wei Dynasty were spies for the King of Han.

"I checked it myself." Zhao Yao reminded Song Dachuan, "Don't forget what I told you a few days ago. I know more about you Southern Wei people than you think." After saying that, he raised his hand to signal to Song Dachuan. sit down.

Song Dachuan sat back obediently, "What else do you know?"

Zhao Yao played with the tea cup in his hand and said with a smile: "I also know some information about that thing."

"What, you know the whereabouts of that thing?!" Song Dachuan stood up in shock again. However, he quickly stopped believing it, "No way, you can't find out the whereabouts of that thing unless Pei Dingyuan tells you."

"Dingyuan didn't know that the thing was the imperial seal." Zhao Yao said with a smile, "I have been secretly looking for that thing over the years."

Song Dachuan said angrily: "You really want to be the emperor!"

Zhao Yao rolled his eyes at Song Dachuan and said angrily: "If I wanted to be the emperor, I wouldn't say these things to you now."

Song Dachuan didn't believe what Zhao Yao said. Seeing that he didn't believe it, Zhao Yao didn't bother to explain to him anymore.

"I found out a piece of news that the thing might be with the Xiongnu." This news was not made up by Zhao Yao, but his guess. "However, I don't know whether this news is accurate or not."

"It can't be in the Xiongnu." Song Dachuan denied, "If it is in the Xiongnu, it is impossible that the gentleman can't be found."

"My lord, do you mean Uwei?" Zhao Yao said, "Or call him Ji Bochang."

Song Dachuan stood up again in shock. This time he stood up too hastily and accidentally knocked over the table in front of him.

"how do you know?"

Zhao Yao looked at Song Dachuan who was making a fuss with disgust, "I told you that I know more than you think."

Song Dachuan was horrified. Who was the King of Han? Why did he know so many secrets? What else does he know?
"The reason Ji Bochang and the others didn't find that thing in the Huns was because they were useless."

"You're useless." Song Dachuan choked back immediately. Ji Bochang had a very high status among the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty. Song Dachuan and the others respected Ji Bochang very much.

Being interrupted repeatedly by Song Dachuan, Zhao Yao raised his brows displeased and looked at him with cold eyes.

Song Dachuan was troubled by Zhao Yao's hair, and felt chilled in his heart. He immediately stopped and sat down obediently.

"You continue."

Seeing that Song Dachuan was honest, Zhao Yao continued: "Ji Bochang and the others searched every tribe of the Xiongnu, but they couldn't find that thing because they forgot a place."

Song Dachuan asked respectfully: "Where?"

"The royal court."

"Master Ji and the others are in the royal court. They searched many times in the royal court but couldn't find that thing."

"I remember there was a Han concubine in the royal court, right?"

"Yes." Song Dachuan reacted immediately, "You mean that thing is on her body?"

"It's possible, but I'm not sure whether he's here or not."

"If that thing is on her, there's no way Master Ji and the others wouldn't know about it."

"Don't underestimate women, especially if this woman still lives in the Xiongnu." Zhao Yao said nothing more, "You can send this news back and let them investigate in detail."

"This is not useful news." Song Dachuan was very dissatisfied with the news provided by Zhao Yao. "They won't believe it if I send this news back."

"You are wrong. They will believe it and investigate again." Zhao Yao said very firmly, "Just pass the news back."

When Song Dachuan heard what Zhao Yao said so categorically, he unconsciously believed it. He thought for a while and decided that he had nothing to lose by sending the news back.

"I will pass it back." His Highness the King of Han's methods are unfathomable, maybe he is right when he finds out.

"Just do what I tell you." Zhao Yao is not always so patient.

Song Dachuan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately said respectfully: "Yes, Your Highness."

"Have you received any new information in the past few days, or have the Southern Wei people told you anything?" "There is no news, but the capital has ordered me and Duan Jiangcheng to search in Lingnan..." At this point, Song Dachuan's expression became strange, and he hesitated to say any more.

Zhao Yao asked: "What are you looking for?"

Song Dachuan hesitated and said: "Aphrodisiac."

"Aphrodisiac?" Zhao Yao looked surprised at first, and then showed a puzzled look on his face, "Why did the capital ask you to find aphrodisiac?"

"Give..." Song Dachuan said hesitantly, "Give it to my lord."

"Bago?" Zhao Yao asked in surprise, "The capital asked you to find aphrodisiacs for Bago?"

"Yes."

Zhao Yao frowned and asked, "Why?"

"Because... my lord has never had any heirs." Song Dachuan added, "Also, my lord is not a womanizer."

"So they want mynas to be drugged with aphrodisiacs and then have children with women?"

Song Dachuan nodded: "Yes, my lord has never had an heir, and people in the capital are very worried."

Zhao Yao felt that the Southern Wei people wanted King Wei to have heirs, not to give King Wei a heir, but to better control King Wei. Because there are children, children are the weakness of King Wei.

"There is no aphrodisiac anywhere, why are you looking for it in Lingnan?"

"They had given drugs to the lord before, but they were discovered by the lord. They heard that the aphrodisiacs from Lingnan and foreign countries are very powerful. They are colorless and odorless, but their effects are overwhelming." Song Dachuan said, "This medicine is called a fairy medicine."

"Magic medicine?" This is the first time Zhao Yao has heard of this kind of medicine, but the name does match it. "Did you find it?"

"The magic medicine is the secret medicine of foreign countries. I have sent people to search for it in foreign countries." Seeing Zhao Yao looking at him coldly, Song Dachuan shrank his head in fear and said, "The orders from the capital, I Can’t help but do it.”

Zhao Yao muttered: "Send someone to look for it first, and let me know if you find it."

"Yes." After Song Dachuan finished speaking, he raised his eyes to look at Zhao Yao, opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but did not speak out for a long time.

Seeing that Song Dachuan was hesitant to speak, Zhao Yao raised his eyebrows and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Your Highness, my lord, he doesn't like women, is it because he likes men?"

Zhao Yao was not surprised at all when he heard Song Dachuan say this.

"If Bage really likes men, those people in the capital may have already arranged various men for Bage." Maybe they have already arranged for Bage.

Song Dachuan thought about it and found that there was no other man beside his lord except Yu Hai.

"My lord is not attracted to women, nor does he like men. Does my lord have a hidden disease?"

"How dare you say this in front of my Bage?" This boy was about to tell Bage that he couldn't do it.

Song Dachuan shook his head quickly and said, "I don't dare." Even if you gave him ten courages, he wouldn't dare. Besides, he is not qualified enough and has never met the lord so far.

"Ba Ge just wants to win the throne and is not interested in the love between his children." In order to better control Ba Ge, the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty really took great pains. "You should also know that the throne is very important to Myna."

"My lord must get the throne."

Zhao Yao thought to himself: If Bage does not get the throne, Bage will definitely be killed by the Southern Wei people.

"Okay, I have nothing else to tell you, so go back first." Zhao Yao called Tong Xi in and asked Tong Xi to send Song Dachuan back.

After Song Dachuan left, He Lianfang appeared in Zhao Yao's study.

"What are you planning again? Don't you think that Princess Han is useful? Why do you want the people of Southern Wei to suspect that she secretly hides the imperial seal?"

"She is useless." When Zhao Yao said this, his face instantly turned gloomy and his eyes became cold and stern, "Her ambitions are not only for the Xiongnu, but also for the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Hearing this, He Lianfang had a look of astonishment on her face, "You mean the Huns' invasion south was the idea of ​​the Han princess?"

Zhao Yao did not answer He Lianfang's question directly, but said meaningfully: "She has been very favored over the years."

He Lianfang instantly understood what Zhao Yao meant, "So you want the Southern Wei people to deal with her."

"She was able to survive on the grassland with the help of the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty." Zhao Yao said expressionlessly, "She also has some means to keep Xinmaodun Shanyu doting on her."

"What else should you know?"

Zhao Yao said two words: "King Han."

He Lianfang was shocked and said: "You mean the person who really colluded with King Han is the Han princess?!"

"This is just my guess, but it shouldn't be wrong."

"Why do you think King Han is colluding with that Han princess?"

"She is the most suspicious." Zhao Yao had no evidence, but he intuitively felt that he was not wrong. "Second uncle, this woman is anything but simple. Don't underestimate her."

He Lianfang asked: "Why did King Han collude with her?"

"We are already investigating." Zhao Yao returned to his usual nonchalant demeanor, "We will find out in a while." He had previously ignored the Han princess of the Hun Dynasty while investigating the affairs of King Han. This Han princess was as well hidden as the King of Han. Over the years, she had appeared to be a dodder, weak and harmless, making the Huns unprepared for her. (End of chapter)
