Thanks to Brother Yi'anbiwu for the reward!
…
Yan Qi is deeply versed in the art of language.
The words in praise of Jiang Dongqu just now were clearly meant to be both explicit and implicit praise.
Without contrast, there is no harm.
The Eight Sages were very dissatisfied with Jiang Dongqu, but this dissatisfaction was limited to dissatisfaction.
However, Yan Qi praised Jiang Dongqu beautifully.
Don’t you know that despite such a great reputation, it’s hard to live up to it?
It's okay not to praise Jiang Dongqu.
With such a compliment, the Eight Wise Kings immediately targeted Jiang Dongqu.
The Eighth Sage King recalled Yan Qi's words in his mind.
"Shilang Jiang is so outstanding. He is kind-hearted and doesn't like to speak ill of others behind their backs. He is low-key and humble. Moreover, he respects the wise king so much that he is deeply loved by the wise king."
I'm going!
Yan Qi's words struck a chord in the heart of the Eight Wise Kings.
Jiang Dongqu is so good, but as stupid as a mallet, and can't even flatter him.
Talking bad about people behind their backs.
Arrogant and rude.
No respect for the king either.
I don't like him either.
The Eighth Sage King went through Jiang Dongqu's personal image in his mind. He was not only dissatisfied, but also indescribably bored.
The Eight Wise Kings kept swaying in their hearts.
If Jiang Dongqu hadn't been a biting dog, I would have wanted to replace him right away.
What a pity for Yan Qi.
The Eight Wise Kings hesitated and looked at Yang Ke, thinking that since he was the prime minister or a partner, it was best not to refute his opinion.
At the moment of vacillation...
Yan Qi said to the Eight Wise Kings: "Wise King, don't think too much. In fact, I don't care much about the position of Minister. I just hope that I can stay in the Ministry of Industry and work and make a career. That's enough. In addition, I would like to ask The wise king moved forward and followed me to see something."
"oh?"
The Eight Wise Kings stood up and said, "Lead the way."
Yan Qi led the Eight Wise Kings back to the empty space in front of the hall, pointed at the object covered with oilcloth, and waved to Wang Tiechui.
Wang Tiechui lifted up the oilcloth.
Everyone was surprised.
It turned out to be a boiler.
However, this boiler is smaller than the one in the Ministry of Industry.
The Eighth Sage King asked: "Deputy Minister Yan, what do you mean?"
Yan Qidao: "This boiler is my gift to the wise king. Please accept it."
Only then did everyone understand why Yan Qi forged two boilers, one large and one small.
It turned out that this small boiler was given to the wise king.
When the Eight Wise Kings heard this, they were overjoyed.
He really likes this stuff.
Things are rare and valuable.
Especially if you can enjoy something that you have never seen before, it is definitely a great honor.
Furthermore, the palace is cold, and the concubine in the eighteenth room in the backyard complains and complains every day, which is annoying to death.
If the coal is burned vigorously, the smoke will fill the air and kill a person.
However, if you have a boiler, everything is solved.
It not only solves the problem of warmth, but also avoids flying smoke and dust.
Those women no longer have to complain in their ears all day long.
Kill three birds with one stone.
How beautiful!
At that moment, the wise king's eyebrows spread like flying flowers, and his eyes bloomed with joy, then immediately converged, hiding under a majestic expression.
The Eighth Sage King sternly refused: "Deputy Minister Yan, you must not do this. It is the severe winter and it is very cold. The boiler is what everyone needs. You should use the boiler for projects to improve people's livelihood. You don't have to worry about it." I am personally concerned. My heart is all about people's livelihood. As long as everyone lives a warm life, even though my body is cold, my heart is still warm."
These words are majestic and touching.
Zhao Qing, Wan Liang and others' eyes flashed with admiration.
Yan Qi is good at reading minds. He doesn't care what the Eight Wise King says. From the surprise look in the Eight Wise King's eyes at that moment, he has guessed his inner world.
No one can escape Yan Qi's wise eyes.
Yan Qi made a very excited look: "The virtuous king really lived up to his original intention of being 'virtuous'. You have a lofty ideological realm. You only think about others and don't care about yourself. You share the emperor's worries, work for the country, ask for orders for the people, and put the world first." Be anxious and anxious, and be happy when the world is happy. This is a role model for our ministers."
After saying this, Yan Qi felt sick.
Fan Zhongyan, Fan Zhongyan, seventh brother is sorry for you.
Hehe, let me borrow this golden saying from you for a while, and I will return it to you later.
Yang Ke's expression changed drastically.
Unexpectedly, Yan Qi's flattery magic skill was so powerful.
Even flattering has become a classic.
Worry when the world is worried first, and rejoice when the world is happy later. This contains at least five plus signs.
Jiang Dongqu looked at Yan Qi with envy and jealousy on his face.
Paralyzed, this guy is so eloquent.
It's a pity that I can't make such a flattering photo with such artistic conception.
All the adults present admired Yan Qi's knowledge and intelligence.
The Eight Wise Kings had deliberately kept a straight face to show their majesty.
However, after hearing Yan Qi's exquisite flattery of "worry before the world's worries, and rejoice after the world's happiness", I could no longer hold my nerves, my brows were filled with joy, and I burst into laughter.
"Deputy Minister Yan, you are serious. As a member of the royal family, I have a responsibility. This responsibility is to prosper the country and protect my subjects. What I did is just doing my duty, and it is not worth it." Mention it, it’s not worth mentioning.”
Yan Qi took the opportunity to say: "You don't care about what the Eight Wise Kings have done, but we can't take it lightly. You are worried about the country now, and you have to take care of everything. To put it bluntly, your body is not It belongs to you, but to the people of Dahua. If you care for your own body, you care for the people of Dahua."
"The weather is too cold now, which has seriously affected the health of the wise king. Therefore, on behalf of the ministers and the vast number of people, I would like to give you a boiler. Please take care of your health and live a healthy life. This is not only my wish, but also the wish of the vast number of people. I ask the wise king not to refuse the wishes of my subjects, and I must accept this boiler."
This flattery can go a long way.
Much better than perfume.
The Eighth Sage King almost jumped up with excitement. The joy in his eyes could no longer be concealed, but he still refused: "Deputy Minister Yan, I can't do it, I can't do it, I can't be so wasteful."
Yan Qi appealed to the ministers: "Prime Minister Yang, ministers, ministers, and lords, for the sake of King Xian's health, why don't you join me in asking King Xian to accept the boiler?"
Having said this, officials are not fools, so who still doesn’t know how to be a favor?
Anyone with eyes can see the salivating expression of the Eight Wise Kings.
Yang Ke, in particular, gritted his teeth and resented Yan Qi's flattery skills, but he could not oppose Yan Qi.
Because opposing Yan Qi means opposing the Eight Wise Kings.
Yang Ke felt resentful in his heart, but he respectfully said: "Deputy Minister Yan is right, King Xian, for the sake of Dahua, please take care of yourself and accept this boiler."
"Yes, wise king, don't refuse."
"Please accept it, King Xian."
"Please accept it, King Xian."
…
The ministers expressed their stance one by one.
Seeing that the time had come, Yan Qi immediately stepped forward with a sincere look on his face: "Wise King, this is the wish of all officials, please... accept it."
The Eighth Sage King was overjoyed, hesitated for a moment, and said tentatively: "Then I, the King, will...accept it?"
