The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Chapter 498 Using King Zheng
The three princesses sent people to find King Dai to discuss cooperation, but as King Han expected, King Dai rejected them. After that, the third princess sent someone again, this time offering more favorable terms, but the king still refused.

Although King Dai is not as smart as King Chu and King Jing, it does not mean that he is a fool. Whether it is public or private, he will not cooperate with people on the grassland. Even the people of the Three Princesses said they were not Huns.

In the past few years, the Yuan family's bloody end was before their eyes. No matter how much the king wanted to get the throne, he would not take the risk of cooperating with the third princess. He knew in his heart that once he colluded with the people on the grassland, he would have no chance of being crowned emperor. Besides, with his ability, he can get the throne without any help from outsiders.

King Dai repeatedly refused to cooperate with them, which King Han and the third princess did not expect. They thought that as long as they offered conditions that made King Dai happy, King Dai would definitely cooperate with them.

When King Han learned that he had killed the people they sent on behalf of the king, he was so angry that he got very angry in the study. In the past two days, King Han was somewhat unlucky. The people sent to assassinate the King of Chu came one after another, but none of them succeeded. Now, Dai Wang failed to take the bait according to their plan, which made his subsequent plans unable to proceed. This made him angry.

Yang Qi stood aside in silence, waiting for King Han to finish his anger.

When King Han was angry, his expression was ferocious and terrifying. Even Yang Qi, who was highly regarded, did not dare to speak out when he was angry, otherwise he would be the unlucky one.

Fortunately, King Han only smashed things when he got angry, and did not beat or chop people like King Zheng did.

After smashing a lot of things, the anger in King Han's heart decreased a lot, but his face was still ugly.

Yang Qi personally brought a cup of tea to King Han, "Your Highness, take a sip of tea to relieve your anger."

King Han took the teacup with a sullen face, drank the tea very roughly, and then slammed the teacup in his hand to the ground.

Yang Qi was startled, but his face remained calm.

"Your Highness, my subordinates are useless. The people sent failed to kill the King of Chu." The people Yang Qi sent to assassinate the King of Chu were all masters, and many of them were killers from famous killer organizations. When they take action, they will basically succeed. There are very few people in this world that they cannot kill. Unexpectedly, they hit the wall this time.

"I don't blame you." Although King Han was very proud that the people he sent did not kill King Chu, he would not vent his anger on Yang Qi. "I just didn't expect Black Hawk's killers to be so useless." Black Hawk is the number one killer organization in the world, claiming that there is no one in the world they can't kill.

"Your Highness, it's not that Black Eagle's killers are useless, but the people around King Chu are too powerful." Yang Qi guessed, "Your Highness, if your subordinates guessed correctly, King Chu already knew that you would send someone to assassinate him, and Be prepared before coming to the north.”

Yang Qi's words made King Han very surprised, "What are you talking about? You said that the fourth child expected that I would send someone to assassinate him long before he came to the north. How is this possible?" When did the fourth child predict the future? ability?
"Your Highness, King Chu's visit to the north this time is ostensibly to provide disaster relief, but in fact the main purpose is to investigate you."

King Han stood up suddenly in shock, and said with a change of expression: "The Fourth Brother came to the North to investigate me?" At this point, King Han paused, and then said, "You mean the Fourth Brother has already He was aware of my matter, so he came to the north specifically to investigate my matter in the name of this disaster relief."

Yang Qi nodded slightly and said, "It's very possible."

King Han was so shocked by Yang Qi's guess that he gasped: "How does the fourth child know about us?"

"This... subordinates don't know." If his guess is correct, then King Chu's methods are... "Black Eagle's killers are all masters, but they can't kill King Chu. This shows that the people around King Chu are more powerful than others." Black Hawk's killer is even more powerful, so he's probably a dead soldier."

"A dead soldier?" King Han felt that Yang Qi's guess was reasonable. "If it is a dead soldier, it is normal that Black Eagle's killer cannot kill the fourth child."

"Your Highness, the King of Chu came to the north after making all preparations." After Yang Qi finished speaking, he exclaimed in his heart, the King of Chu should not be underestimated.

With a bang, King Han raised his hand and slammed the table in front of him.

"What a fourth boy, I really underestimated him!"

"Your Highness, if King Chu is surrounded by dead soldiers, then it will be useless no matter how many killers we send." Killers are no match for dead soldiers.

King Han frowned tightly, with a cold face and said nothing.

Yang Qi saw that King Han was silent and did not speak again.

After a long while, King Han finally said: "Sir, do you have any good ideas?"

"Your Highness, the current plan is that we can only send dead soldiers to assassinate the King of Chu, but..." At this point, Yang Qi stopped, and then there was a trace of worry on his face, "If we send dead soldiers to assassinate the King of Chu, , is likely to be exposed.”

Yang Qi's worry is not unreasonable. If he sends the dead soldiers from Prince Han's Palace to assassinate the fourth child, it won't be long before they are found to be from Prince Han's Palace, and then he will be found to be the culprit who assassinated King Chu.

"If the dead soldiers from Prince Han's Mansion can't do it, then send other dead soldiers to assassinate him."

"Your Highness, what do you mean?"

King Han smiled and said: "I am not the only one in Youzhou, or even in the entire Northern Territory, who has private soldiers."

"Your Highness, it's inappropriate for us to invite other people's soldiers to assassinate the King of Chu." Yang Qi reminded, "This can easily reveal that we are the mastermind."

King Han took a deep look at Yang Qi and said pointedly: "Sir, why do we have to find the dead soldiers of these people ourselves?"

Yang Qi instantly understood what King Han meant, and then a look of shame appeared on his face.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry, my subordinate is stupid."

"Sir, you're just too anxious." King Han trusted Yang Qi very much and would not despise him just because Yang Qi didn't think of this. "I will send someone to make arrangements later."

King Han ordered: "Find more companies."

"Yes, Your Highness." After saying this, Yang Qi went out to arrange the matter.

After a long time, he returned to King Han's study.

"Your Highness, what worries me is how many things King Chu has found out about us."

King Han said angrily: "I also want to know." He has been hiding well in Youzhou for so many years. I don't know how the fourth child found out about him.

Yang Qi pondered for a while and said: "Your Highness, what we have done these years has been very secretive, and you have pretended to be very good to the outside world. Logically speaking, it is impossible for the King of Chu to discover you." Over the years, the capital side has been keeping tabs on Youzhou side. He didn't pay much attention to it, which shows that His Royal Highness the King of Han is disguised very well. But how did the King of Chu know the disguise of His Royal Highness the King of Han?
King Han said bitterly: "Now the fourth child knows."

"Your Highness, there is only one possibility."

King Han hurriedly asked: "What is possible?"

"There is a spy among us, and it was he who revealed our affairs to King Chu." The more Yang Qi thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was right.

When King Han heard this, his face was filled with evil thoughts. He raised his foot and kicked the table in front of him violently.

"Yes, there must be a spy, otherwise how could the fourth child know about us."

Yang Qi guessed that there was a spy, and instead of feeling relaxed at all, his heart became increasingly heavy.

"The King of Chu is really powerful. He planted spies around us without knowing it. If the King of Chu hadn't come to the north to suddenly investigate the affairs of the third princess, I'm afraid we would never have discovered it." I thought that His Royal Highness the King of Han was hiding something deep. Lu, I didn’t expect that King Chu was even more unpredictable.

King Han gritted his teeth and said, "I will dig three feet into the ground and find it for you."

"Your Highness, we still don't know how many spies King Chu has planted around us."

"No matter how many people the Fourth has planted, find them all for me." King Han said with a cold expression, "After finding them, I will cut them into pieces." Fourth, I really underestimate you. "Also, tell the dead soldiers sent not to kill the fourth child, but to bring the fourth child back. I will personally deal with the fourth child!" It was really an advantage for him to let the fourth child die. He wanted to torture the fourth child so well that his life would be worse than death.

"Your Highness, I know that you hate the King of Chu very much, but for the sake of safety, it is better for the King of Chu to die outside." Yang Qi advised, "Your Highness, there is no need to ruin your entire plan for the sake of a King of Chu."

King Han still listened to the advice, "You are right, let the fourth child die outside." Let the fourth child die happily, it was really an advantage for him. "Sir, do you have any way to find out the spy of the fourth child?"

"Your Highness, in a few days, we will deliberately spread the news that the King of Chu has been assassinated. When the spies hear the news, it is impossible for them to take action." Yang Qidao, "We just need to wait for them to fall into the trap."

King Han thought this was a good idea and said with a ferocious smile: "That's it. I want to see who they are."

"Your Highness, King Zheng in the capital, I think he can be used." King Zheng and King Han have always had a good relationship. Over the years, King Han secretly gave King Zheng a lot of money and beauties.

"He's just a loser. What's his use other than being a scapegoat?" King Han looked down upon King Zheng a thousand times. If it wasn't for King Zheng to be his scapegoat, King Han wouldn't even bother to give him a look.

"Your Highness, if King Zheng uses it, it can be of great help to us." Yang Qi felt that the idiot King Zheng would be of great use.

When King Han heard what Yang Qi said, he suddenly became interested and asked curiously: "Sir, how do you plan to use him?"

"Your Highness, this..." Yang Qi whispered something in King Han's ear. After hearing this, King Han's eyes suddenly lit up, and then a malicious smile appeared on his face.

"Hahahaha, sir, you still have a way." King Han didn't expect King Zheng to be able to use it like this.

"Over the years, Prince Zheng has received so much care from you. It's time for Prince Zheng to return the favor."

"Sir, you are right." Growing up, King Zheng had taken the blame for King Han countless times, and King Zheng didn't even know it. This is why King Han has always been willing to associate with King Zheng. As adults, they often kept in touch even if they each went to their respective fiefdoms. King Zheng liked to take advantage of King Han since he was a child, and King Han would let him take advantage of him every time. When he grew up, King Zheng continued to take advantage of King Han. He often asked King Han for things, and King Han gave them to him. This made him think that King Han was easy to bully, but he didn't know that King Han had been taking advantage of him.

"The King must have thought that he could return to the capital in glory this time, but little did he know that when he returned to the capital, hell was waiting for him."

King Han sneered: "Who told him not to know what is good and what is good?"

"Your Highness, by then, the acting king will definitely be willing to cooperate with us, and he is begging to cooperate with us."

"I will make him kneel down and beg me."

At this time, King Dai, who was in the northern military camp, suddenly felt a coldness running up his back, making him shiver suddenly.

At the same time, Zhao Yao, who was far away in Marsh Mansion, was playing chess with himself. He looked at the chess game and smiled with unknown meaning: "Next, King Han will probably use King Zheng to deal with King Dai."
