Ministers Begging Me to Ascend the Throne

Chapter 1108: Chapter 136: Prince Han Dares Not Return to the Capital

Youzhou, Prince Han Mansion.

After the spy finished the report, Prince Han’s face became very ferocious, and his tone was extremely sinister and frightening: "Say it again!"

The spy felt a chill in his heart, and stammered as he reported the previous words, word for word.

After Prince Han heard it, he angrily overturned the desk in front of him.

"Get out!"

The spy immediately turned and retreated out.

Standing aside, Yang Qi felt his scalp tingle as he watched Prince Han fly into a rage.

Prince Han went crazy and smashed more than half of the things in the study. Only when the study was in chaos did his inner anger slightly diminish.

Yang Qi remained silent. Once Prince Han stopped randomly smashing things, he began to persuade him not to hurt his health due to anger.

"Sir, all our plans in Annan, Pyu Kingdom, and Johor are ruined. How do you want me to stay calm?" Prince Han’s eyes were red with fury, his expression twisted, looking like he wanted to devour someone. "The arrangements on the Annan side are our years of hard work, now it’s all ruined, ruined!"

Yang Qi speculated, "It should be Prince Han’s doing." Only Prince Han, who is close to countries like Annan and Johor, could silently remove their forces.

Prince Han also guessed it was Zhao Yao’s doing. He said with resentment written all over his face, "I really underestimated him; I didn’t expect him to be so capable, to dare eliminate my people." All along, Prince Han had looked down on Zhao Yao, his younger brother. To be exact, he never considered Zhao Yao as his brother. Clearly, they were biological brothers, but Prince Han felt Zhao Yao, born to a low status, did not deserve to be his brother.

There was another reason. Zhao Yao had always been extraordinarily stupid, showing no presence. Prince Han didn’t even consider him as a brother, let alone look at him directly.

Last year, Zhao Yao made glass in Swamp Prefecture. Prince Han condescendingly offered him a cooperative opportunity, only to be rejected by Zhao Yao. Seeing him so unappreciative, Prince Han naturally had to teach him a lesson. He sent people to assassinate Zhao Yao, but none succeeded. From then on, he knew Zhao Yao was somewhat skillful, but still did not take him seriously.

Not just Zhao Yao, even Prince Chu who was heavily trusted by the emperor, Prince Han looked down on.

Although Zhao Yao was in Swamp Prefecture, close to Annan and countries like Johor, Prince Han never guarded against him. Prince Han thought Zhao Yao lacked the capability to know his arrangements in these countries.

The planning in Annan and Pyu Kingdom and other countries was not even detected by the Imperial Court, let alone Zhao Yao. But just now, Prince Han was fiercely slapped a few times, to the point his face was swollen.

Zhao Yao, whom he always underestimated, not only knew his planning in Annan and Siam and other countries, but also managed to completely eradicate his forces without him realizing.

Prince Han, who always held himself in high esteem, could not accept this blow.

"Good! Good! Good! Really too good!" Prince Han looked furious, grinding his back teeth to pieces.

Yang Qi was now worried about another matter, but he dared not tell Prince Han.

"Zhao Yao! I must tear you to pieces!" Only by tearing Zhao Yao to pieces could Prince Han relieve the hatred in his heart.

"Your Highness, since Prince Han can quietly eliminate our people in Annan and Siam, it’s likely he also has people in those countries. Otherwise, how could he discover our people?" They really underestimated Prince Han. Prince Han successfully held a trade conference in Swamp Prefecture and did business with countries like Annan and Siam. How could he not have planted his people in those countries? "Prince Han’s influence in these countries is likely greater than ours, otherwise how could our people have been silently eliminated by him."

The people they had placed in countries like Annan were not a bunch of worthless drunks. Generally, when their people were removed, they would detect in advance and send a message to Youzhou. But they received no message, indicating they were swiftly eliminated by Prince Han’s people without any prior knowledge.

Over the years, they had cultivated considerable influence in countries like Annan and Johor, infiltrating many places, even having people in these countries’ royal families. Yet this influence was completely eradicated by Prince Han, suggesting Prince Han’s power in these countries was superior to theirs.

Prince Han only went to Swamp Prefecture last year, and only held a trade conference this year. How could it be that quickly, Prince Han cultivated an unexpectedly powerful influence in these countries? It’s impossible; cultivating influence takes time. This implies Prince Han had been cultivating his people in countries like Annan even before going to Swamp Prefecture. In other words, Prince Han voluntarily went to Lingnan and had already made arrangements early on.
