However, the magistrate did not expect the emperor to not ask him to do anything at all.
He knew what King Chu had done all these years, but the emperor did not use him.
He thought of betraying him, but on second thought, if he really betrayed him, it would be fine if he succeeded. If not, he would be a sinner for all eternity.
Besides, hadn't the two princes thought of betrayal? They had raised an army to rebel and used the plague, but they hadn't succeeded. What did that mean? It meant that the emperor had many subordinates.
He was alone. He had no power or influence. Would he dare?
"I can't contact Doctor Gu. I'm just here to look for him, but I can introduce someone to you. You can ask that person for help. No, I'll take you there."
Jiang Ying knew about the magistrate. He also knew that the magistrate had been unsuccessful. He could help.
King Chu had to be dealt with, but it depended on how the emperor dealt with him.
