Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 189 Han Fei is dismissed from his post

After a stick of incense.

Lady Hu made King Han An drink a lot of wine.

The effects of incense are limited, so King Han should drink more wine.

How can one be close to a villain and distance oneself from a virtuous minister without getting drunk?
After more than ten breaths, Han Wang'an couldn't help but burp and return to reality.

"You can't drink anymore!"

King Han An was very upset.

His stomach was full of water, making it difficult for him not only to turn over but also to breathe.

"Then we'll drink it later."

"Your Majesty, didn't you just say you could drink a whole jar?"

Hu Meiren asked with a charming smile.

"Did I say... hiccup... say that?"

Han Wang An asked while wiping sweat from his brow with his sleeve.

"Your Majesty's memory is getting worse and worse!"

"What I just said is already over!"

Hu Meiren said sullenly.

After speaking, she put on her coat and changed the subject to Han Fei.

Although Han Fei was not as talented as Xu Lin, he was still a virtuous minister. Therefore, she had to find a way to get King Han An to stop using Han Fei.

"Your Majesty."

"It is quite normal for a monarch to have hundreds of concubines in his harem."

"But Han Fei killed Jade Tiger because of this."

"Now that Jade Tiger is dead, who will send you young women?"

Hu Meiren said as she thought about it.

"Didn't they say that Jade Tiger died before Han Fei went to Nanyang?"

King Han An sat up with difficulty.

His increasingly obese body made him feel tired easily.

He is now not only having difficulty breathing and feeling uncomfortably bloated, but also has a headache.

"It's dead."

"But who knows if Han Fei ordered them to be killed beforehand?"

"Han Fei is now not only the Minister of Justice, but also the Lord of the Quicksand."

Hu Meiren said.

"Your Majesty."

"The key issue is that Han Fei, as a subject, actually dares to interfere in Your Majesty's affairs."

"If this continues, what will become of us?"

Seeing that King Han An did not want to punish Han Fei, Lady Hu added fuel to the fire.

"If the four princes, the crown prince, and the princess all follow suit."

"Then Your Majesty's decrees will likely be unable to even leave the palace!"

Hu Meiren threatened.

Upon hearing this, King Han An, whose head was already spinning, felt his headache worse.

Han Fei, Han Yu, Han Yun, and others are all his sons, so it shouldn't be that bad, right?

"Your Majesty."

"One more thing."

Seeing this, Hu Meiren continued.

"explain."

King Han An rubbed his forehead and said.

He's very tired and just wants to go back and rest.

"As far as I know, Han Fei founded the Quicksand organization, which is determined to eliminate Ji Wuye's Nightfall."

"Whether it's Quicksand or Nightfall, they're both South Korean organizations, so why do they have to fight amongst themselves?"

"Isn't this causing pain to loved ones and joy to enemies?"

"Therefore, I suggest that Han Fei be relieved of his post as Minister of Justice."

"With a formidable enemy at hand, South Korea should unite, not fight amongst itself!"

Hu Meiren said seriously.

"Removal from office?"

"Old Nine has indeed gone a bit too far lately."

"If the internal strife continues, our Great Korea will be in danger of national extinction!"

King Han An was taken aback upon hearing this, and then replied.

"But it is true that Jade Tiger forcibly abducted a woman first, so there needs to be a reason for his dismissal, right?"

Han Wang'an rubbed his temples.

"Your Majesty, as the ruler of the nation, dismissing someone is merely a matter of a word from you." "Jade Tiger certainly has problems, but is his crime punishable by death?"

"Even if his crime warrants death, Han Fei should not engage in internal strife!"

"With Liu Yi, Wujiu, and Fei Cuihu all killed in succession, if this continues, South Korea will only become weaker and weaker!"

Hu Meiren said in a deep voice.

Her words were righteous and eloquent, which made King Han An feel that they made a lot of sense.

So he followed Hu Meiren's advice and wrote a letter to Han Fei, dismissing Han Fei from his post as Minister of Justice on the grounds of undermining unity, and telling Han Fei to reflect on his actions recently.

When Hu Meiren saw this scene, she was overjoyed, but on the surface she looked worried, as if she was concerned about the state of Han and King An of Han.

……

at the same time.

Xinzheng, the residence of the Ninth Prince.

Han Fei was pacing in the courtyard.

Although the investigation into the Jade Tiger could not continue, he was unwilling to give up.

It is said that Li Si was recently transferred back to Xianyang and promoted to the position of Tingwei, one of the Nine Ministers. Although Sikou is not a minor official, he is not comparable to Tingwei!

In Han Fei's view, being lustful was not a big problem!

So as long as King Han is willing to continue to give him important responsibilities, South Korea still has a chance!
How can we be sure that a weak Han won't become a strong Han in his hands?

Upon realizing this, Han Fei regained his usual spirited demeanor.

Just as he was pondering how to deal with the night, a guard suddenly requested an audience, saying that the king had written him a letter.

Han Fei frowned upon hearing this, then took the letter and stared intently at its contents.

Why can't we say it face-to-face, but have to write it in a letter?
The Ninth Prince's residence is very close to the palace; it wouldn't even take half an incense stick's time to walk there.

Upon seeing the contents of the letter, Han Fei was greatly surprised and wanted to dismiss him from his post as Minister of Justice.

After reading it, Han Fei clenched the letter tightly, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

"Actually, I should have known this day would come."

"When one's conduct is upright, one's orders will be followed without being given."

"The disease of Korea lies not in the darkness of night, but in the father."

After a long while, Han Fei gave a self-deprecating laugh and sighed.

Even a skilled cook can't cook without rice. Now that he's no longer the Minister of Justice, how can he fight against the darkness and save the state of Korea?

"Xu Lin, you've won!"

Han Fei looked towards the Xu residence, shook his head with a wry smile.

After saying this, he picked up a pot of wine and walked towards Zilan Pavilion while drinking it.

South Korea is terminally ill and beyond saving!

He is neither the King of Han nor the Crown Prince, so how can he be saved?
Even if he is the crown prince, would the Qin state give him time?
It is said that the King of Qin has sent an envoy to Han regarding the matter of Zheng Guo's hydraulic engineering exhausting Qin. If Han does not cede a few cities, will Qin give up?
Father, like son.

Han Fei was completely awakened by the letter from King An tonight.

The South Korean edifice is crumbling; no one can save it!
……

Three days later.

The Prime Minister of Han, Zhang Kaidi, personally went out of the city to welcome the Qin envoy.

The reason why King An of Han sent Zhang Kaidi out of the city to welcome him was to appease the Qin state and prevent the King of Qin from being angered and sending troops to destroy Han!

Although King An of Han had no great ambitions, he did not want to become the ruler of a fallen kingdom!
Zhang Kai waited for almost half an hour before the Qin envoy's carriage finally arrived.

However, they found only a corpse inside the carriage.

Upon seeing the corpse of the Qin envoy, Zhang Kai felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

How could this be?

A few breaths later, Zhang Kaidi immediately returned to the palace and told King Han An about the matter.

"this?"

"Who did it?"

"If the King of Qin were to launch a military campaign against this, what should we do?"

Upon hearing this, King Han An was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.

Before the matter of Zheng Guo's efforts to exhaust Qin had been resolved, a Qin envoy suddenly died in Han territory. When this news reached Xianyang, Ying Zheng was furious.
"Summon Han Fei and order him to investigate thoroughly immediately..."

"King Han said urgently."

He was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"Your Majesty."

"The Ninth Prince is no longer the Minister of Justice."

Zhang Kai reminded him.

He was very dissatisfied with King An of Han's dismissal of Han Fei from his post as Minister of Justice, and it was for this reason that he interrupted King An of Han.

"Then send the order to the General!"

"The person who murdered the Qin envoy must be found within ten days!"

King Han An roared angrily.

Changing policies every morning and evening will only make us a laughing stock.
Therefore, even if Han Fei is better at investigating cases, he will not reinstate Han Fei now!
