The scene suddenly became awkward.
With the Eight Wise Kings here, Yang Ke cannot overpower others by overpowering them.
That would be very disrespectful to the Eight Wise Kings.
However, if he didn't say anything, it would appear that he was being taken care of by Yan Qi.
How embarrassing is it to be in a dilemma?
Yang Ke winked at Tang Hanxiao, the Minister of Civil Affairs.
Tang smiled knowingly.
It's time for him to come to the rescue.
Tang Hanxiao lives up to his name. No matter where he is, he always has a smiling face and is full of intimacy.
He smiled brightly and said to Yan Qi: "Deputy Minister Yan, in any case, Prime Minister Yang's starting point is good, but his words are a little arrogant. We, the junior students, should respect him."
Yan Qi smiled: "That's wrong. I am indeed a junior, but I am definitely not a junior scholar. Tang Shangshu may be a junior scholar, but I am definitely not a junior."
day!
Tang Hanxiao suppressed his smile, and without saying a word, he returned to the team and stood still.
Yan Qi's words were so sharp that Tang Hanxiao immediately decided not to let the muddy water flow.
Just those few words made him choked up.
Tang Hanxiao was smart and immediately became a turtle.
The scene became awkward again.
The Eighth Sage King looked at the angry Yang Ke, and then at the calm Yan Qi. He was silent for a while, and then smiled slightly: "Prime Minister Yang is naturally knowledgeable and talented, and Vice Minister Yan is also well-read in poetry, but It’s just arguing about small things, don’t worry about it, don’t take it seriously.”
Yan Qi smiled: "I won't take it seriously. After all, although I am not the prime minister, I can still support the boat. I am afraid that although Prime Minister Yang is the prime minister, he is narrow-minded and refuses to give up."
"You...you said I'm narrow-minded? Okay, Yan Qi, you...you actually..."
Yang Ke turned pale and wanted to scold Yan Qi angrily.
However, he found that Yan Qi was looking at him with a playful smile on his lips, like a monkey trick, watching an angry monkey squeaking.
Looking at the other officials, they all stared at him, watching his angry face with great interest.
Yang Ke suddenly realized that he had lost his temper.
In several years, I have never felt so much like mourning my heir.
No, I fell into Yan Qi’s trap.
I want to be calm and calm.
Yang Ke was not an ordinary person. He stopped arguing with Yan Qi. He rubbed his face vigorously, forced himself to calm down, and changed the subject: "Deputy Minister Yan, you and I don't have to have meaningless discussions. The sharpness of words will not solve the heating problem."
If it has any practical effect, let’s just conduct on-site inspections. As long as it actually produces results, it’s better than anything else. "
Yan Qi snapped his fingers: "I deeply agree with what Prime Minister Yang said. Let's see the results. Eight Wise Kings, please take a seat and wait for a moment."
The Eight Wise Kings sat down condescendingly.
The ministers stood on both sides, eagerly looking at him.
Yang Ke stood aside with a sneer on his face, waiting to see Yan Qi's joke.
Jiang Dongqu stood beside Yang Ke, eager to speak.
However, after taking a glance and seeing the Eight Wise Kings next to him, he quickly shut up, fearing that if he made any sound, the Eight Wise Kings would hear him and slap his mouth.
Yan Qi waved to Wang Tiechui: "Load the goods."
Wang Tiechui immediately ran to make arrangements.
Two carriages rushed in.
On it were two objects covered with oilcloth.
One is more than three meters high, and the other is more than one meter high.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on these two objects.
Yan Qi waved his hand: "Open."
Wang Tiechui lifted up the oilcloth.
An iron stove over three meters high appeared in front of everyone.
No one has ever seen such a big iron stove.
This time, it was strange.
Everyone gathered around, wanting to see what happened.
Jiang Dongqu finally couldn't hold it in anymore and sneered: "Isn't this just an iron stove? It's just a little bigger. If there's anything weird about it, I think it's some kind of treasure."
Yan Qi pouted: "You really don't know anything about it. Is this an ordinary stove? Let me tell you, this object is called a boiler. It is specially used for heating. It is hundreds of times better than an ordinary iron stove."
Jiang Dongqu yelled: "You are bragging."
Yan Qi smiled: "You will know in a moment whether you want to brag or not."
He waved his hand and signaled to Wang Tiechui: "Install it immediately."
"yes!"
Wang Tiechui immediately led the experts from the forging team to install the boiler.
Yang Ke said sarcastically on the side: "It's all mysterious."
Yan Qi ignored him and said to the Eight Wise Kings, "Would you please move to the hall and take a seat. We will see for ourselves in a moment whether the heating is effective."
The Eight Wise Kings nodded and moved to the hall to sit down.
Officials also entered the hall one after another.
Yang Ke looked around.
I saw several circles of iron pipes installed around the hall, but there was no stove.
Yang Ke turned on the taunting mode again: "Deputy Minister Yan, there is not even a stove in the hall, what should I do if I freeze the wise king? Can you afford it?
"
Jiang Dongqu seized the opportunity and quickly flattered the Eight Wise Kings: "Prime Minister Yang is so right. Yan Qi, go and light the stove to keep the Wise King warm. The Wise King is the emperor's noble body. If something goes wrong, it will be It’s a loss to the world, go and light the stove, go away.”
The Eight Wise Kings were indeed a little cold and couldn't help but frown.
Yan Qi smiled slightly: "Wise King, it only takes two sticks of incense. This hall will be as warm as spring. Just wait a moment."
Yang Ke snorted: "Without a stove, where would the warmth like spring be? Yan Qi, you really know how to tell lies."
Jiang Dongqu said with a fierce look: "You've frozen the wise king, let's see how I deal with you."
Yan Qi ignored them at all.
Wang Tiechui walked in: "Deputy Minister Yan, the boiler has been welded and installed."
Yan Qi said: "Add water and make a fire."
"yes!"
Wang Tiechui went to do it immediately.
Yang Ke's expression was neither yin nor yang: "It's funny that you use water to keep warm. It's really funny."
Yan Qi said: "Laugh, laugh as much as you want, after a while, I'm afraid you won't be able to laugh anymore."
A stick of incense passes.
It was still cold in the hall.
Yang Ke got angry at Yan Qi: "The hall hasn't warmed up yet, Yan Qi, how should you explain it?"
Jiang Dongqu shouted loudly: "Yan Qi should be dismissed immediately. He deceived everyone, Prime Minister Yang, and even the wise king. In short, Yan Qi is a big liar."
The Eighth Sage King also looked at Yan Qi with a puzzled look.
Yan Qi was as steady as a mountain: "Xian Wang, don't be anxious. I just said that it takes two sticks of incense. Now it's only the time of one stick of incense. Why are you anxious? If you wait for one more stick of incense, if the hall doesn't get warmer Get up, I will immediately take the initiative to resign without any hesitation."
The Eight Wise Kings nodded: "Prime Minister Yang, please be patient and wait a moment."
Seeing victory in sight, Yang Ke was very happy: "Yan Qi, you can still struggle for a stick of incense. When the time comes, I'll see what you say."
In the blink of an eye, a stick of incense passed.
Yang Ke was furious: "Yan Qi, do you still want to pretend to be a ghost now?"
Jiang Dongqu pointed at Yan Qi and shouted: "What other excuse do you have?"
"Need an excuse?"
Yan Qi touched the iron pipe and bowed to the Eight Sage King: "Wise King, please give it a try."
The Eighth Sage King moved over, touched the iron pipe with his hand, and quickly retracted when it was too hot, his eyes widened: "The iron pipe... is actually scalding hot."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.
