Yan Qi smelled the hand that touched Princess Sophie, and there was a fragrant smell.
He regretted a little and hit his hand twice hard: "It's a damn thing. Even if I gave you a chance, you didn't use it. Why did you get bitten by Princess Sophie? You should pinch her a few times. Give her a pinch." Come out of the water and let her scream, hehe!"
Zhao Qing came over and said, "What are Mr. Yan muttering about?"
Yan Qi said: "It's okay. My hand was bitten by a dog and it hurts a little."
Zhao Qing was confused and looked around: "Where is the dog?"
Yan Qidao: "Didn't you see? A female dog came out, bit me, and ran away."
Zhao Qing shook his head: "I really didn't see it."
Yan Qi laughed loudly: "Your eyes are dazzled. Okay, let's go back home."
…
Zhao Qing distanced himself from the officials and walked side by side with Yan Qi.
"Brother Yan, what did you mean by what you just said?"
There were no outsiders, so Zhao Qing put down his arrogance and called Yan Qi Brother Yan.
Yan Qi knew it and asked: "What words?"
Zhao Qingdao: "You asked me to go as an envoy to the Western Night Kingdom. There is no such arrangement by the court. Besides, I am the Minister of Rites. How can I go as an envoy to the countries in the Western Regions casually? This requires the court's approval. How can I make the decision myself? "
Yan Qi pretended to be stupid: "What should we do? I have finished talking to Princess Sophie."
Zhao Qing frowned and nodded: "It doesn't matter! Brother Yan's matter is my matter, and I will do it no matter what. Don't worry, when I return to the capital this time, I will definitely find an excuse to go to Xiye Kingdom. Fulfill Brother Yan’s promise to Princess Sophie.”
Yan Qi patted Zhao Qing on the shoulder: "Brother is really interested in me."
Zhao Qingdao: "I know that you are worried that Xiye Kingdom will suffer revenge from the countries in the Western Regions, so you asked me to go to Xiye Kingdom as an envoy to build up momentum for Princess Sophie! Since Brother Yan has a close relationship with Princess Sophie, I will definitely do my best. Help.”
Yan Qi laughed loudly: "Thank you Brother Zhao for your care. However, I asked Brother Zhao to go to the Western Regions. It is actually a beautiful job. It can be said to kill three birds with one stone."
Zhao Qing raised his eyes: "I would like to hear the details."
Yan Qidao: "First, Brother Zhao also said that I asked you to go as envoy to Xiye Kingdom just to support Xiye Kingdom. There is no need to deny this. However, the second point is very beneficial to Brother Zhao. ”
Zhao Qing asked: "Tell me about it."
Yan Qidao: "This time we defeated the plot of the three countries of Xiye, Xiaowan, and Pishan, and forced them to sign an agreement as a vassal state. This thing cannot be just words, it must be effective. Brother Zhao strikes while the iron is hot, Going on a tour of the Three Kingdoms in the Western Regions, wouldn’t it just show off the royal majesty of Dahua?”
Zhao Qing's eyes lit up: "What Brother Yan said is timely."
Yan Qi added: "Moreover, the three countries in the Western Regions each agreed to pay tribute to Dahua with 500 war horses. Although the tribute was agreed, the three countries in the Western Regions must have shied away in every possible way and refused to pay tribute."
"This time, Brother Zhao will go to the Western Regions to inspect on the pretext of urging the Three Western Regions to hand over tributes. This time, with the power of victory, he will definitely be able to force the Three Western Regions to submit. When I return to the capital with the war horses of the Three Western Regions, I will be shocked. The government and the public are eye-catching.”
"When the time comes, Mr. Zhao will not only secure his position as Minister of Rites, but will also become a star of tomorrow and a pillar of Dahua. No one dares to underestimate him."
Zhao Qing laughed excitedly: "Brother Yan, I didn't expect that the job you gave me would be a good job. Oh, it's so wonderful. It's absolutely wonderful. If you didn't mention me, I would still be dizzy. . Great, really great. Oh, you just said killing three birds with one stone, what other benefits are there, please tell me quickly."
Yan Qidao: "The first point of your mission to the Western Regions is to support Xiye Kingdom, which is beneficial to me. The second point is to consolidate your position, which is beneficial to you. The third point is to be powerful for Dahua. "
Zhao Qing was even more interested: "Brother Yan, teach me."
Yan Qidao: "In recent years, the state of Great China has been weak and has no time to interfere in the Western Regions. As a result, it has gradually drifted away from the seventeen countries in the Western Regions. Now, if you want to intervene in the Western Regions, you have no starting point, let alone opportunities and excuses."
"Moreover, the heroes of the Western Regions have come together to form their own lineage. They gradually do not listen to Dahua's orders, and may even turn against Dahua."
"This time, Dahua will seize the opportunity, use Xiye Kingdom as a starting point, and use Xiye Kingdom's support as an opportunity to invade the Western Region. Through stationing troops and commercial exports, it will gradually control Xiye Kingdom. Then, wait for opportunities and devour The Western Region. Haha, this is the way to rejuvenate the country. If we do it well, we can expect the Western Region."
After hearing Yan Qi's words, Zhao Qing's heart was shaken and his ears were pounded with thunder.
It's so subtle, so powerful, so organized.
It's really like killing three birds with one stone.
Moreover, the final target was the entire Western Region.
Such a national scholar is unparalleled in the world.
Zhao Qing couldn't control his excitement and bowed deeply to Yan Qi: "Listening to your words is better than reading a hundred years of books. It will help you eliminate the false and retain the true, and you will feel enlightened."
Yan Qi had a stinking look on his face: "Where's the witticism? It's just nonsense, and you still take it so seriously. It's funny, it's funny."
Zhao Qing looked at Yan Qi Langyi's back and wiped the sweat from his head excitedly.
Hey, after hearing Yan Qi's words, he became so excited, but Yan Qi didn't care, thinking that he just said a few words casually.
Why is the gap between people so big?
…
In the afternoon of the same day, Zhao Qing returned to the capital with officials from the Ministry of Rites to report on their work.
An Qing is the examiner of Erxuehong Confucianism. She also has to register the results, return to the capital, and hand them over to the upper study room, and then wait for the upper study room to issue the results.
Only after the results are handed in can Yan Qi be an official in Beijing.
Yan Qi felt a little regretful.
Last night, I didn't go to Wushan with An Qing, so I have no chance today.
An Qing sat in Yan Qi's arms, letting him touch and scratch her.
Outside, it was busy, horses were being prepared.
Guopingren, Tang Bufan, Zhao Hong, and Chen Qiao were already waiting outside.
An Qing hugged Yan Qi's neck tightly and blew playfully into his ear: "Brother Qi, do you want it?"
Yan Qi's hands moved back and forth on An Qing's legs: "We are about to set off, we can't even think about it, it's useless to think about it."
An Qing twisted her body and said, "We can't set off until we burn a stick of incense."
Yan Qi snorted a few times in annoyance: "You think I am a quick shooter, and a stick of incense is useless for a long time? Isn't it urgent to make me unable to move up and down, hanging in mid-air?"
An Qing smiled sweetly: "Brother Qi is still not in a hurry. You must have had something indescribable with Princess Sophie last night."
Yan Qi shook his head: "No.
An Qing snorted proudly: "Qing'er doesn't believe it. Princess Sophie obviously has feelings for Brother Qi, and Brother Qi is a natural lover. How could he let Princess Sophie go? The meat is in the bowl, how can you not eat it?"
Yan Qi laughed loudly: "Because the meat is in the bowl, I am not in a hurry to eat it. Hehe, if the meat is in other people's mouth, hehe, I will be too polite and swallow it in one bite."
An Qing smiled so brightly: "Seventh brother is so cool, Qing'er understands."
