Xinzheng, the General's Mansion.

Ji Wuye angrily smashed the wine cup in his hand to the ground, and the bronze wine cup bounced up and flew past Mo Ya's legs.

"Damn Liu Yi! He actually went to see Han Yu!" Ji Wuye roared, kicking the table in front of him to the ground.

Enraged, Ji Wuye's face contorted with rage, veins bulging at the corners of his eyes, his eyes bloodshot, and his entire body radiating murderous intent, making him resemble a man-eating beast.

Although Ji Wuye has held a high position and power over the years and rarely takes action, he is still a general who has fought his way up from the battlefield, and has taken at least a hundred, if not a thousand, lives.

In an instant, a thick killing intent filled the hall. Emerald Tiger, standing to the side, turned pale with fright. He felt as if someone was choking him, making it hard for him to breathe, and his entire body of fat trembled uncontrollably.

Mo Ya looked at the furious Ji Wuye and remained silent, knowing that the rare period of calm in Xinzheng was about to be followed by another bloody storm.

Ji Wuye was unusually merciful, yet he was betrayed so thoroughly by Liu Yi. Han Yu then publicized Liu Yi's defection to him to everyone, which was clearly a blatant humiliation.

Having served as Grand General for so many years, when had Ji Wuye ever suffered such humiliation? He was bound to kill to vent his anger.

"What a Liu Yi! What a Han Yu! How dare they play tricks on this general like this!"

Ji Wuye's chest heaved with rage as he pulled out an eight-foot-long sword from the side.

"Mo Ya, since Liu Yi wants to die, then go and send him on his way, so that he can go in peace."

"Yes," Mo Ya said coldly.

Just as Mo Ya was about to leave, Bai Feng appeared in the hall.

"General, a message has arrived from the palace."

Bai Feng took out a piece of cloth from his bosom and handed it to Ji Wuye.

"What is that woman up to now?!" Ji Wuye said angrily, but still snatched the cloth from Bai Feng's hand and opened it to look at it.

After examining the cloth, Ji Wuye erupted like a volcano, his expression turning even angrier. He swung his eight-foot sword at the table on the ground.

The table exploded, leaving a deep knife mark on the bluestone floor as well.

"Damn it, damn it, they all deserve to die!"

Ji Wuye angrily swung his eight-foot sword, slashing in all directions to vent his rage.

The jade tiger was so frightened that it collapsed to the ground and crawled away on its hands and feet, fearing that Ji Wuye would kill it at any moment.

After a long while, the once neat and elegant hall was completely destroyed by Ji Wuye, and the smooth floor was covered with knife marks.

"Mo Ya, let Liu Yi go for now," Ji Wuye said through gritted teeth, unwilling to give up.

"Yes," Mo Ya nodded.

Seeing that Ji Wuye had finished venting, the Emerald Tiger tentatively asked...

"General, what has happened? What has made you so angry? Could it be that something has changed in the palace?"

"The Tide Demoness said that Liu Yi's allegiance to Han Yu was that guy's idea, in order to balance the court, and told me not to act rashly," Ji Wuye said indignantly.

Jade Tiger naturally understood that the guy Ji Wuye was referring to was Han Wang An, but he didn't expect that Han Wang An would choose such a means in order to balance the court.

This isn't about balancing the court; it's clearly about suspecting Ji Wuye of stabbing Han Yu in the leg, and thus putting Ji Wuye in a bad light.

"Tiger, that old bastard seems to have forgotten how he ascended the throne, daring to challenge this general!" Ji Wuye said angrily.

He naturally understood Han Wang'an's meaning, but he also felt wronged. Han Yu had clearly suffered divine retribution, so what did it have to do with him? It wasn't like he had sent someone to do it.

"General, I feel something is amiss. How dare the King reprimand you? Is there something we don't know about?" Jade Tiger whispered.

Ji Wuye glanced coldly at the Emerald Tiger, but in his anger, he was unable to think calmly.

"It's because I've been fighting fiercely with Han Yu lately that he thinks he's all that again. He dared to say that the Crown Prince is sickly and that you should encourage him, so what else wouldn't he do?"

"What wouldn't he do for power? Besides, this message was sent by the Tide Demoness, how could there be any problem?" Ji Wuye said coldly.

As someone who was also obsessed with power, Ji Wuye knew very well just how alluring power was, something that a merchant like Fei Cuihu could never comprehend.

For the sake of power, he dared to lead 8,000 desperate soldiers to fight against 100,000 Chu troops. King An of Han was, after all, the King of Han. What wouldn't he dare to do?
Emerald Tiger was so frightened by Ji Wuye's gaze that he dared not say anything more, but he still had some doubts in his heart, feeling that something was not right.

"So what do we do next?" Emerald Tiger asked.

"What should we do? Since Liu Yi likes the position of Right Sima so much, we should let him hold it until the end!"

Ji Wuye's eyes flashed with a cold light, and his words were filled with murderous intent.

"Tiger, if I remember correctly, the Situ Mansion has already started collecting military pay, right?" Jade Tiger was taken aback when he heard this. As the richest man in Korea, he single-handedly supported one-third of Korea's tax revenue. No matter what the court was concerned about in terms of money collection, he couldn't escape it, especially military pay, which required him to take the lead in donating.

However, in the end, he returned all his money, but as for the others, well, hehehe.
"General, what do you mean?" A sly smile appeared on Emerald Tiger's face. He understood what Ji Wuye was doing.

Ji Wuye gripped the eight-foot sword in his hand and chuckled sinisterly.

Mo Ya and Bai Feng lowered their heads even further as they watched this scene unfold. They knew that a large number of heads were about to roll.

The Royal Palace of the King of Han, the Imperial Medical Academy.

Xu Qing was staring blankly at the eunuch Han in front of him, while the eunuch Han, with a big smile on his face, stuffed the imperial edict into Xu Qing's hand.

"Hahaha, Imperial Physician, why don't you hurry up and thank the Emperor?" Han, the eunuch, said with a laugh.

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty," Xu Qing said, bowing.

"This is the first time in a hundred years that the Chief Physician has been involved in state affairs in our Korea. His Majesty trusts you greatly, which is truly enviable," the Korean eunuch said with a smile.

Xu Qing glanced at Eunuch Han, then at the imperial edict in his hand, and felt it was somewhat unrealistic.

He had just returned from Consort Hu's palace when Eunuch Han arrived with a decree from King Han An, announcing that from now on he would have the power to participate in government affairs and to attend court meetings.

"Lord of the Imperial Household, please tell me the truth. What exactly does the King mean by this?" Xu Qing whispered to Han, the eunuch.

Participating in politics would be a great honor for others, but Xu Qing was the Imperial Physician, an official of the inner court, yet he now had the power to interfere in the affairs of the outer court, which made him uneasy.

Han, the eunuch, waved his hand to dismiss the people around him and said in a low voice.
"You must thank Right Sima for this. You may not know this, but Right Sima visited the Fourth Young Master today. You should understand the meaning behind this, right?"

Xu Qing glanced at Eunuch Han with surprise, and immediately understood what King Han An meant.

In his plan, Han Wang An was his scapegoat. After all, neither Han Yu nor Ji Wuye would doubt that a mere imperial physician could manipulate the situation of the previous dynasty, nor would they believe that Hu Meiren and Chao Nu Yao would obey him blindly.

However, now that King Han An has realized the situation in the previous dynasty, he seems to have lost his mind and wants to try his hand at manipulation, showing off his inferior political skills.

He formally pushed him into the court, using him as his tentacles to increase his influence and reclaim the power that belonged to him.

Xu Qing was speechless and even wanted to laugh. What was this? Han Wang'an went from being blamed to taking the blame voluntarily.

And his real mastermind? Not only did he disappear perfectly, but he also gained even greater power.

Han Wang An is a really nice guy. Not only does he not mind that he's being cuckolded, he even takes the initiative to help him.

"Imperial Physician, you must be more careful from now on. The dangers of the imperial court are far greater than those of the inner palace," Han, the eunuch, warned.

Although he was happy that Xu Qing had gained more power, he was also genuinely worried about her.

After all, Xu Qing, the god of wealth, had run into trouble, and now there was no one to support his estate outside the city and his several beautiful concubines.

"Thank you for reminding me. I will still need your guidance and help in the future," Xu Qing said.

“You are someone who came from our inner palace, so we are family,” said Eunuch Han.

The two of them laughed at the same time.

"His Majesty will be holding a court assembly tomorrow. This will be your first time attending one, so please don't be late," said Han, the eunuch.

"Thank you for the reminder, Imperial Household Officer. I will certainly not be late. Please also convey to the King that I am deeply grateful for this favor and will never forget the King's kindness in promoting me," Xu Qing said.

"Don't worry, I understand."

After Xu Qing gave Han the eunuch two bags of gold coins, Han the eunuch happily left the Imperial Hospital.

After seeing off Eunuch Han, Xu Qing took the imperial edict and sat down at his seat.

"This is an unexpected surprise. If Han Wang An knows about Liu Yi's movements, then Ji Wuye will surely know as well. Tomorrow's court meeting will probably be quite a show."

"Ji Wuye has received a letter from Chao Nuyao, so he probably won't risk killing anyone. And with Liu Yi's allegiance, Han Yu will probably kick me aside soon and make his own way with Hu Meiren."

Xu Qing smiled knowingly, eager to see what kind of trouble Ji Wuye and Han Yu would cause tomorrow under his instigation.

As for Liu Yi, now is not the time to kill him, after all, we still need him to incite conflict between Han Yu and Ji Wuye.

Suppressing his excitement, Xu Qing began to peruse the two profound techniques, "The World Loses Its Color" and "All Things Return to Spring." He needed to perfect his Tai Chi as soon as possible.

He also realized that if he wanted to perfect the way of Tai Chi, he had to forge his own path instead of learning Zhang Zhenren's Tai Chi. Otherwise, he would never be able to reach the level of He Guanzi.

In the blink of an eye, a day had passed. The next morning, Xu Qing did not go to the Imperial Hospital, but went straight to the Hall of State Affairs.

It was his first time attending the morning assembly, so he naturally couldn't be late, since there was a good show to be performed today.
