Chapter 2330

Kim Sang-hyun risked his reputation, put aside his prejudices and joined forces with his old rivals to commit this treasonous act. The main purpose was to prevent his country from completely falling under Haihan's control. But things developed.

At this stage, the situation seems to be going against his wishes. Haehan not only directly intervened in this chaos, but also planned to use this opportunity to take command of the North Korean army. How could Kim Sang-hyun

Accept it calmly?

But it is not easy to calmly endure the eternal infamy and the consequences of implicating the nine clans. Even if he has been mentally prepared for the worst outcome in advance, Kim Sang-heon still has difficulty in rejecting the conditions proposed by Qian Tiandun when the situation comes.

Seeing the uncertainty on Jin Sangxian's face, Qian Tiandun realized that his position had begun to waver, and it was time to strike while the iron was hot. He continued to persuade him: "Master Jin, if you are charged with treason and conspiracy,

If you are arrested, then all your administrative measures will be regarded as disobedient, and your successor will definitely try to erase everything you have worked hard for, without leaving even a trace. Those officials you have promoted, all who have ever

Everyone who has followed you will also be implicated, and many people will lose their hats because of their relationship with you...The direction of North Korea in the future may be a situation you don't want to see."

Killing people is a heart-wrenching thing. Qian Tiandun knows very well what ministers like Kim Sang-heon care about. Political ideals may be more important than personal lives. If everything he has done for this country is denied, it will definitely be more important to him than

Death is even harder to accept.

And if you want to persuade him to give up confrontation and choose cooperation, the best entry point is also here. Kim Sang-heon may not be able to keep his political ideals, but at least he will have a chance to keep his reputation and status.

"Master Jin, what is best for the country and yourself? I don't think I need to analyze the stakes for you. You should be able to figure out the key points yourself."

"But the current situation is urgent, and for the sake of the overall situation, I can't give Mr. Jin too much time to think about it slowly, so I hope Mr. Jin can make a decision as soon as possible, whether to cooperate or confront!"

Qian Tiandun was not prepared to leave time for Jin Sangxian to think about it. He knew that the more time and space an old fox like Jin Sangxian gave him, the greater the variables in the matter would be. Only by putting enough pressure could it be possible to disrupt the opponent.

position.

Jin Sangxian's heart at this time was as chaotic as thousands of troops at war. He wanted to preserve his reputation and status, but he also didn't want Haehan to succeed. But if he mustered up the courage to fight, in addition to paying the price with his life,

It may also lead the country to slide into the state he least wants to see.

Jin Sangxian really didn't understand how things turned out the way they did now. This was so different from the plan he and Cui Mingji planned. So many people died before and after, even Cui Mingji, his old rival, was gone.

In the end, he still made Haihan’s wedding dress?

Thinking of this conclusion, Kim Sang-hyun felt like his heart was being eaten by thousands of ants, and he was in endless pain. If he had known this, it would be better to let Li Zhu continue to be in power. At least he would not be so stupid that he would completely transfer military power to Haihan.

The more Kim Sang-hyun hesitates, the more Qian Tiandun's confidence increases. He knows that if a person hesitates for too long at the moment of life and death, it will be difficult to muster the courage to face death. Kim Sang-hyun has been unable to make a decision.

It was obvious that he could not die calmly, so he had no other option but to compromise.

"Master Jin, if you choose to die at this time just to protect your own ideals, it is just a manifestation of selfishness. Serving the country and the people, public or private, no matter what considerations you have,

Everyone should live well, continue to be in charge of government affairs, and help North Korea develop its national strength. This is the true righteousness!"

Seeing that the time had come, Qian Tiandun gave him the final blow and prepared a high-sounding reason to give the other party a step down. If this could not make Jin Sangxian change his mind, then Qian Tiandun was not going to try again.

Okay, it's better to settle this matter in an official manner.

Jin Sangxian really felt enlightened at this moment. He stood up and bowed to Qian Tiandun and said: "The general is really a master. I am convinced!"

Qian Tiandun responded: "Although you and I have different positions, we all hope that North Korea can develop and grow well. This purpose is the same, and this is the basis for cooperation between our two countries. Mr. Kim, what I just said

Are you willing to accept the exchange conditions?"

Jin Sangxian responded: "Now that the matter has come to this, it seems that General Qian's method is more comprehensive, but how to deal with this matter still needs to be discussed in detail."

Qian Tiandun said: "As for military cooperation, we only need to persuade the king to accept this matter first, and the specific details can be negotiated slowly. However, these troubles related to the late king need to be dealt with properly first."

When Qian Tiandun said this, his eyes were fixed on Jin Sangxian to see how he would react. If Kim Sangxian truly surrendered, there would be no need for Qian Tiandun to remind him of what he should do at this time.

Jin Sangxian hesitated for a moment before speaking: "The remains of the late king are buried somewhere in the city. The general can send people to dig out them later."

Qian Tiandun asked: "Where are the other witnesses and physical evidence?"

Jin Sangxian said: "They have all been destroyed."

Qian Tiandun shook his head and said: "This still doesn't work...then I can only ask Mr. Jin to write a certificate."

Jin Sangxian suppressed his anger and said: "General Qian, why do you need to be so forced? Doesn't my promise work?"

Qian Tiandun said: "Some things must be written down in black and white to be more effective. Even if it is an agreement between the two countries, doesn't it have to be signed by both parties to take effect? ​​I request this for the sake of the stability of your country in the future.

"

Although Kim Sang-hyun has given in verbally, Qian Tiandun will not believe the words of an old fox under great pressure. He must hold the other party's handle to rest assured. If the situation changes in the future, Kim Sang-hun will change again.

If he is restless, at least he can have something to calm him down.

Moreover, Qian Tiandun had already predicted that after Kim Sang-heon took the first step back, it would be difficult to stick to his position. There would be no other way left for him except to continue to compromise.

Later that day, Fu Li and Pu Hongye met Qian Tiandun again after returning from rest. However, Qian Tiandun had changed his mind and did not intend to take them to meet the king.

"The investigation of the King's assassination case has been carried out here, and the follow-up will be taken over by the Military Intelligence Agency. The investigation results at this stage must be kept strictly confidential, and not a single word can be leaked. Do you understand?"

Qian Tiandun decisively terminated the investigation because he had already obtained first-hand information and there was no need for Fu Li to pursue it. The fewer people who knew the truth about the assassination and the coup, the better.

In addition, he specifically emphasized the confidentiality of the investigation results. In fact, he was warning Park Hongye. After all, this person is one of Li Zhen's main aides. If he tells Li Zhen everything that should be said and should not be said, it may affect Haihan.

Subsequent operations.

Pu Hongye really couldn't understand Qian Tiandun's change of attitude: "General Qian, we have found out that this matter is most likely related to Mr. Jin. If we interrupt the investigation at this time, wouldn't it be suspected of letting the tiger go back to the mountain?"

Qian Tiandun said: "As for the situation you have found, I have verified it through other channels. There are some situations that are inconvenient to explain, but Mr. Jin has proved his innocence through some special methods."

Pu Hongye said: "The king's remains..."

"The remains you checked are indeed fake. The real remains have been found elsewhere. I believe it was a subcontracting arrangement arranged by Cui Mingji. After order is restored in Seoul, a grand burial will be arranged." Qian Tiandun knew what Park Hongye wanted.

Whatever you asked, a prepared answer was given immediately.

"I will enter the palace with Mr. Jin later and report relevant matters to the king. You don't need to go, just go back to your original posts!"

Hearing such an answer, the two of them felt relaxed but also a little bit disappointed. It took a lot of effort to check the clues, and they spent the whole night reading old papers last night, but now Qian Tiandun said

If so, their investigative work would come to an abrupt end, as there was still some unfinished business.

However, Park Hongye was working under Li Zhen, and he had many opportunities to meet Li Zhen, and this was not the least of them. And from his position, he did not want to see the situation where Kim Sang-heon and the king and his ministers turned against each other.

, now that Qian Tiandun has said that it has been found that Kim Sang-heon has nothing to do with the fake remains, Park Hongye is actually relieved.

Although Fu Li noticed that something was wrong, he had always regarded obeying orders as his bounden duty, and in front of an outsider like Park Hongye, he would never question his boss's decision.

After Pu Hongye was dismissed, Qian Tiandun said to Fu Li: "If you have any questions, you can ask them now."

Fu Lidao: "I am a little curious about this humble position. Did Kim Sang-hyun participate in the assassination?"

Qian Tiandun said: "In fact, whether he participated or not is secondary. The key is how we use this situation to benefit the country."

Fu Li laughed when he heard this: "It seems that the general took advantage of Jin Shangxian this time!"

Qian Tiandun also laughed and did not deny Fu Li's guess: "It's a blessing in disguise. North Korea is in such chaos, but it doesn't cause us much loss, but it actually brings us some unexpected gains. After Cui Mingji's death

, Kim Sang-heon is currently the most influential official in the court. With his voice in the court, many things can be done with twice the result with half the effort."

Fu Li reminded: "But this person has a deep city and many gang members, so you need to be careful when cooperating with him."

Qian Tiandun said: "It doesn't matter, we just need to make the best use of everything. Now that he has the handle in our hands, we don't have to worry about him jumping out of the net again."

Qian Tiandun was convinced that he had the leverage to ruin Jin Sangxian's reputation, so naturally he would not worry about what other tricks the other party could pull off. After finishing the conversation with Fu Li, Qian Tiandun drove into the palace and went with Kim Sangxian.

Meet Li Zhi.

They had only one main purpose for meeting Li Zhi today. Qian Tiandun wanted to strike while the iron was hot and finalize the transfer of military power as soon as possible. In order to make Li Zhi accept this plan, Qian Tiandun also used a deception method to favor Jin Sangxian first to highlight the

The importance of Kim Sang-heon’s views on this.

"Your Majesty, our army is currently encountering a lot of inconveniences in handling Seoul affairs. The reason is that the connection with various government offices in your country is not smooth enough and there is a lack of unified dispatch and command. Therefore, I hope that your Majesty can appoint a new commander immediately.

to discuss affairs in order to make appropriate arrangements for these matters."

Qian Tiandun did not rush to bring up the major events he planned, but started with another matter: "I think Mr. Jin's reputation in the court and his ability to govern are fully qualified for the position of leading the government, so I think

It is recommended that Mr. Jin take up this position as soon as possible so that Seoul can return to normal order as soon as possible."

Yes, what Qian Tiandun has to do now is to give Kim Sang-heon a greater voice and influence. The greater his influence in the court, the more it will help Haihan achieve his goals. The seat vacated by Cui Mingji

Someone will eventually succeed him, and there is indeed no more suitable candidate than Kim Sang-heon in the court today.

Li Zhi was quite surprised when he heard Qian Tiandun's suggestion, because just a few days ago, both Qian Tiandun and Wang Tom showed strong distrust of Kim Sang-heon, thinking that he was likely to be involved in the Seoul conspiracy.

A few days into this chaos, Qian Tiandun actually suggested to himself that he should promote Kim Sang-heon to serve as chief political officer. The change in attitude was too quick and too steep.

Kim Sang-heon pretended to be polite, saying that he only needed to serve the country and did not need to climb to that special position.

Li Xie thought for a while before responding: "With Lord Jin's qualifications and ability, he is certainly qualified for the post of leader. But... the investigation on the assassination of the late king is still in progress. Will it be possible to arrange transfers of important official positions at this time?

Are you a little more impatient?"

The implication of Li Zhi's words was to remind Qian Tiandun not to forget that Kim Sang-hyun is also one of the suspects. Now that the investigation is not over, he has pushed Kim Sang-heon to a high position. If something is wrong later, will he be removed again?

Can't drop it.

Of course Qian Tiandun understood Li Xie's hint, but at this time he and Kim Sang-hun had reached a private agreement. The assassination case was no longer important. What he needed now was to put Kim Sang-hun in a high position, and then he would help promote the transfer of military power.

to reduce the resistance and opposition that may be encountered.

Qian Tiandun responded: "Your Majesty, regarding the assassination of the late king, the investigation has been basically clear. The general process is indeed consistent with the situation reported by Mr. Jin. Since the relevant criminals have been brought to justice, I suggest that the investigation can be stopped here.

Shift our attention to restoring local normal order. I believe that Mr. Jin can play a very important role in this regard."
