“There’s something I really need the chief’s help with.”
“Yes, please.” Guardian Han perked up.
What he was worried about the most was that Lin Yi would be separated from Prince Han’s mansion. After the competition, he couldn’t say that he had seen Lin Yi’s value, but he was sure that Lin Yi’s value and potential were unparalleled!
This might be the best investment opportunity for the Han Mansion.
Once he missed it, he would definitely regret it.
Now that Lin Yi wanted something, he was giving him a chance to repair their relationship.
“I’d like to know more about the Chu royal residence, do you have any information on this?” Lin Yi asked.
“About what?” Guardian Han was taken aback.
“Asset-allocation,” Lin Yi said directly.
A look of surprise flashed across Minister Han’s face.
With Lin Yi’s history with King Chu, it wasn’t strange for him to ask for information about the Chu royal residence. However, according to normal logic, it was usually focused on the strength of the core members. This was what cultivators usually paid attention to.
He didn’t expect Lin Yi to have such an unexpected point of view.
” No problem. We’ve just sorted out the information in this area. I’ll get someone to make a copy and send it over to Mr. Lin.”
Minister Han immediately agreed.
Between the seven great imperial mansions, information was leaked to each other. These were all routine operations.
To the King of Han’s Residence, the Chu royal residence and the King of Qin’s Residence were jackals of the same feather. They were the main targets that needed to be targeted.
No matter what Lin Yi’s intentions were, as long as it was against the Chu royal family, King Han’s residence would be happy to see it happen.
“Thank you, Chief.” Lin Yi nodded.
Han Changshi had just finished negotiating with Lin Yi, but the moment he returned to the Han residence, he was immediately scolded by Han Wang.
“You have to understand that you’re the chief historian of my Han mansion, not Lin Yi’s!”
“That Lin Yi is an ungrateful wolf! Do you want to be an ungrateful wolf too?” Han Wang cursed. This time, it’s Lin Yi who let us down. What’s wrong with your brain? Why would you think of running over to him?”
Han Changshi stood at the side with his hands behind his back, his eyes downcast and his expression silent.
After cursing for a full 15 minutes, King Han finally stopped.” Do you really think he can win?” he asked faintly.
It was a strange question, but Han Changshi knew that it was about the bet between Lin Yi and King Chu.
Lin Yi’s bet with King Chu looked like a joke.
After all, whether it was the occasion of the bet, the specific content of the bet, or the related price, it did not seem like the behavior of a great duke at the level of King Chu.
Lin Yi was going to jail after losing the bet, and Chu Wang only apologized to the emperor after losing the bet.
But in reality, anyone with discerning eyes could see that this bet was no small matter.
If Lin Yi lost, he wouldn’t just lose himself, but also the emperor behind him.
At the moment when the Hundred Seedlings Plan finally came to fruition, this might even become a symbolic event, marking that the puppet emperor had completely lost its rightful status and was publicly defeated by the vassal kings!
On the other hand, if Lord Chu lost, the impact would be even greater.
After all, King Chu did not just represent himself. He also represented the seven kings ‘mansions.
Once he was forced to lower his head to the emperor, even if it was just a formality, it would greatly boost the morale of the emperor’s faction.
It was true that with the imprisonment of Wu Wudi, the emperor’s faction had lost their core strength. It was difficult for the emperor to cause any substantial waves on his own.
But don’t forget, there was no shortage of people who sat on the fence in the middle.
Although the seven kings were powerful and everyone seemed to be surrounding them, once the wind changed, they could waver at any time.
To put it bluntly, they would help whoever won.
“What if he wins?” asked Minister Han in a deep voice.
King Han was stunned.
He wanted to say how Lin Yi won, but when he thought of Lin Yi’s performance in the Hundred Son Competition, he couldn’t say anything.
Lin Yi could even crush the emperor, why couldn’t he win a bet like this?
” In this matter, the wisest thing we can do is not to bet on who will win, but to ensure that we will not lose no matter what,” said Minister Han patiently.
“How can I not lose?” King Han did not react for a moment.
” If King Chu wins, we won’t lose out as one of the seven kings. As long as we win Lin Yi over, we won’t lose out either. In fact, our chances will be even better!”
” You…” The King of Han fell into deep thought and narrowed his eyes.” You mean you want me to stand on the Emperor’s side?”
“That’s not a problem.” Minister Han nodded frankly.
As one of the seven kings, if he took the initiative to lean towards the emperor, it would undoubtedly be a reversal of history in the eyes of others and a betrayal of his own camp.
However, to the weakest King Han’s estate, the greatest threat came from the other estates. Even if they did not completely side with the emperor, they could at least make use of the situation. This was not a stupid move.
“You are really bold.”
King Han looked deeply at Minister Han. This choice was an opportunity, but at the same time, there was a huge risk behind it.
However, King Han did not reject it.
“Do you really think Lin Yi has a chance of winning?” Han Wang asked again. He also said that the three Great Cornerstones of the Han Mansion are also not good. Is this true?”
His resentment towards Lin Yi wasn’t only because Lin Yi didn’t agree to cooperate, but also because Lin Yi directly overturned the three most important rules of the Han mansion. This was the hope of the Han mansion in the future. Who would be happy?
“I hope he won’t be right,” Han Changshi said faintly.
King Han also fell silent.
It was impossible rationally, and emotionally unacceptable, but if Lin Yi was right, it would be a huge blow to the Han Mansion, even if it wasn’t a disaster!
Even Guardian Han, the person who had proposed the strategy, would not be able to accept that result easily.
The King of Han did not believe in evil.” It’s impossible for him to be right. The Hundred Seedlings Plan has exhausted almost all of our trump cards. If we can’t even protect these mere 100 core rules in the end, wouldn’t it be a joke?”
” Of course,” Han Changshi analyzed objectively.” It’s impossible to pass all the 100 core rules of the selected plan safely. However, according to normal deduction, even if something happens, it will only be limited to a few exceptions in a small area. It shouldn’t involve too many people.”
” If the Hundred Seedlings Plan goes wrong on a large scale, then the problem will be too big.”
He did not even dare to think about what happened after that.
