Jiang Dongqu was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother, but he felt that he couldn't scold Yan Qi. It seemed to be of no use except to make him laugh.
"Yan Qi, I don't have the same experience as you. If the emperor is waiting to examine me, how can I waste my time on a young person like you?"
Jiang Dongqu pointed at Yan Qi and entered the side hall.
I don’t know who leaked the news.
Not long after the emperor 'inspected' Jiang Dongqu, the sound of singing promises came from outside.
"The Eight Wise Kings have arrived."
"Prime Minister Yang is here."
"Censor An got off the sedan chair."
"..."
Behind him, there were a group of ministers.
A group of people rushed in shouting.
The Ministry of Works was crowded and noisy, like a lively vegetable market.
"I have met the Eight Wise Kings, Prime Minister Yang, and Yushi An."
Yan Qi bowed to the three of them respectively.
However, Yang Ke was deliberately filtered out.
There was no need for him to save Yang Ke's face.
Originally, he was an opponent who faced each other head-to-head and made no secret of it.
In this way, you can also establish a strong image.
The eight wise kings asked Yan Qi: "Where is the emperor brother?"
Yan Qidao: "The emperor is inspecting Minister Jiang alone."
The Eight Wise Kings were stunned: "Inspection alone?"
"yes!"
Yan Qidao: "The emperor said that Xia Ming, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, committed a crime and was imprisoned. Although he has not been interrogated, he is still close to him. Therefore, the emperor is very worried about the personnel arrangements of the Ministry of Industry."
"The Ministry of Industry is one of the six ministries. It is very important. We cannot be leaderless. We must select an adult from the Ministry of Industry and promote him to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry."
"So, the emperor spared no effort, regardless of the dragon's health, and came to the Ministry of Industry to inspect and express condolences, and immediately inspected Minister Jiang alone. Hehe, it seems that Minister Jiang is very likely to be promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Industry."
When Yang Ke heard this, he felt extremely beautiful.
If Jiang Dongqu really wants to take over, the Ministry of Industry will be in the palm of his hand.
What great news!
When the Eight Wise Kings heard this, the doubts on their brows disappeared: "The emperor is seriously ill, but he does not care about fatigue and works hard on state affairs, which is both admirable and admirable. My lords, we must learn from the emperor."
"yes!"
The ministers hurriedly agreed.
After a long time, Jiang Dongqu came out of the side hall.
Jiang Dongqu held his chest high, his head held high, he walked unsteadily, his heels never touching the ground, and he had a bright spring smile on his lips. He wanted to be so happy, so happy.
"Hello, the wise king, and hello, Prime Minister."
Jiang Dongqu was very proud and quickly bowed to the Eight Sages and Yang Ke.
Yang Ke asked urgently: "How did the emperor inspect you?"
Jiang Dongqu smiled beamingly: "The emperor said that I am a rare talent. He praised me for being capable and responsible. I am a pillar of Dahua."
"Hahaha."
Hearing this, Yang Ke burst out laughing: "Shilang Jiang, since the emperor has said so, your future prospects are limitless."
He just wanted to praise Jiang Dongqu. He glanced at Yan Qi with a proud look and said, "Shilang Jiang has been deeply involved in the Ministry of Industry for many years. He has a solid foundation and a steady style, and he has won the emperor's trust."
"It's not like some people who, when they first arrive, create so many troubles as a new official, they think they are not good enough. However, just like the reeds on the wall, they are top-heavy and shallow, and cannot get into the emperor's fiery eyes. "
Everyone knows that Yang Ke is talking about Yan Qi.
Reeds on the wall, top-heavy and shallow?
This is mocking Yan Qi.
Everyone looked at Yan Qi, waiting to see how Yan Qi would behave.
Yan Qi chuckled: "I'm just a little servant. I've just arrived. How can I compare to some people who are so complicit in committing adultery? Some people are like bamboo shoots in the mountains, with sharp mouths, thick skin, and hollow bellies."
When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter.
"Yan Qi is amazing and never disappoints anyone."
"What a great pairing. Prime Minister Yang satirized Yan Qi: The reeds on the wall are top-heavy and have a shallow foundation; Yan Qi competed with each other and made a second line: Bamboo shoots in the mountains, with sharp mouth, thick skin and hollow belly. So sharp!"
"He is worthy of being the first person to learn a lot about Confucianism."
…
Yang Ke was very embarrassed: "Yan Qi, what do you mean? Who do you think has a sharp mouth, thick skin, and a hollow belly?"
Yan Qi laughed loudly: "Why are you so anxious, Prime Minister? I'm not talking about you, so don't be sentimental and take your position. However, if you insist on putting the shit basin on your head, there's nothing I can do about it."
Everyone burst out laughing.
Yang Ke was so angry: "Yan Qi, you don't need to be so arrogant. The emperor inspected Jiang Dongqu alone, but did not inspect you. You are in trouble."
Yan Qi chuckled: "Really?"
Yang Ke gritted his teeth: "Of course."
Just finished.
Gao Shangtian, the commander-in-chief of Ouchi, came out: "Shilang Yan, the emperor wants to invite you in to examine your business ability."
"Huh? This..."
Yang Ke was stunned and speechless.
Jiang Dongqu was also anxious:
"You want to inspect Yan Qi? Who is Yan Qi? Why is he qualified to be inspected by the emperor?"
Yan Qi looked proud: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, Minister Jiang, have you heard this? The Emperor wants to examine me. Is it possible that the Emperor wants to promote me to be the Minister of the Ministry of Works? Hey, I'm not ready yet. What should I do? What should I do? That’s good. Haha.”
Yang Ke and Jiang Dongqu's faces turned red.
This is what they said just now. Now, Yan Qi blocked them all, choking in their throats, like a sewer being blocked, it was so uncomfortable.
Gao Shangtian urged again: "Shilang Yan, the emperor wants to inspect you. Please go in immediately. Don't keep the emperor waiting."
The Eight Sages looked at Yan Qi and frowned.
Yan Qi did not cater to Gao Shangtian, but went to the Eight Wise Kings.
The Eighth Sage King asked directly: "Your Majesty is waiting to inspect Shilang Yan. Shilang Yan, hurry in. This is disrespectful to the Emperor."
Yan Qi smiled slightly: "The wise king should know that I have just been appointed as the minister of the Ministry of Industry. I am not good at business and have mediocre abilities. If I am tested by the emperor for a few words, if I can't answer, I will be scolded by the emperor. Isn't this a sudden increase in jokes? ?"
"Hahaha!"
The Eight Wise Kings laughed loudly: "Shilang Yan, are you a little scared?"
Yan Qi nodded: "That's natural! King Xian, can I ask you something?"
The Eight Wise Kings said: "But it doesn't matter."
Yan Qidao: "I don't want to be inspected by the emperor alone. Please let the Emperor know it for me. If you want to inspect me, please also ask the Eight Worthy Kings to inspect me. Even if the Eight Worthy Kings scold me, I will be in a good mood."
After hearing Yan Qi's words, the Eighth Sage King suddenly felt relaxed, happier than after smoking two bags of top-quality cigarettes.
He was very vigilant just now.
The emperor wants to inspect Yan Qi alone. Is there anything fishy going on?
What choice does Yan Qi have?
As a superior person, the Eight Wise Kings were very wary of all this.
However, Yan Qi ignored Gao Shangtian's urging and came to 'complain' to the Eighth Sage King, looking very aggrieved.
Is this Yan Qi 'complaining'?
No!
Absolutely not!
Yan Qi is conveying a clear goal to the Eight Wise Kings.
This signal is: He is closer to the Eight Wise Kings!
The Eight Sages realized what Yan Qi meant, how could he not be happy?
All the ministers also nodded secretly.
Yan Qi is such a powerful character.
To understand people's hearts and pay attention to every detail is truly worthy of the eight-character motto: A heavy sword has no edge, and great skill has no workmanship!
