Yan Qi's words spoke to the emperor's heart.
"It makes sense. Shangshu Yan is indeed far-sighted. I am very pleased."
Yang Ke listened on the side and couldn't bear to lose face.
The emperor praised Yan Qi for his foresight in public, so naturally he, the prime minister, was short-sighted.
The feeling of being slapped in the face in public is really uncomfortable.
Yang Ke just couldn't refute.
Because the person who slapped the face was the emperor.
How dare he disobey the emperor in public?
The Eighth Sage King's face was extremely gloomy, and he glared at Yan Qi: "You still claim to be far-sighted, don't you know, you have fallen into a dangerous trap. When it comes to establishing a bond with Goryeo, this is a blind man trying to influence an elephant for a small profit. Dahua’s grand strategy.”
Yan Qi smiled: "Eight Wise Kings, I would like to listen to your grand strategy."
The Eight Sage King's eyes were blazing: "I have just said that Dahua is in troubled times now. Where can we have the time, energy, and resources to lean towards Goryeo? Furthermore, the Turks are eyeing our borders and invading our borders. I, Dahua, will use the whole country to do so. We have to fight with all our strength, and the outcome is unknown, how can we pay attention to the little Goryeo?"
Yang Ke shouted: "The wise king has a grand plan. Yan Qi is young and has little experience. He is just showing off his superficiality. In terms of true talent and learning, how can he be as good as the wise king?"
"Yes, what the wise king said makes sense."
"Dahua's strategy is far higher than the economy."
"That's right, the Turks should be given priority, and Korea must be put behind."
…
Everyone spoke in support of the Eight Wise Kings.
The emperor was silent for a long time, with an unpredictable expression: "The emperor's words are very reasonable. I have decided that I will never see the Korean envoy..."
"I have objections and cannot agree with you."
Yan Qidang yelled, which shocked everyone's heads and Ren'er suffered severe pain.
The Eighth Sage King's eyebrows were ferocious: "Yan Qi, my king has great ambitions and plans, how can I compare to you, a minister who only knows how to calculate economic accounts?"
Yan Qidao: "The wise king's grand plan is quite good."
"You still have some knowledge." The Eight Wise Kings snorted, extremely proud of themselves.
"but……"
Yan Qi changed the topic and smiled playfully: "That's just good. Good does not mean good. The two cannot be compared.
"you……"
The Eighth Sage King was teased by Yan Qi and became very angry.
When the Emperor saw Yan Qi speaking, he became more energetic again: "Shang Shu Yan, how can you be disrespectful to the Eighth Sage King? But it doesn't matter. The Eighth Sage King is open-minded, how can he care about you? Isn't that right, Your Majesty? younger brother?"
The Eighth Sage King pinched his nose and said, "Brother Huang understands me. Fighting in court and expressing one's own opinions are all for the sake of state affairs. How can I be punished for my words? Hahaha, um, Yan Qi, if you have any different opinions, just say it. If it makes sense, I will definitely support it with both hands raised high."
Yan Qi admired the old emperor more and more.
The emperor's words were clearly intended to retreat in order to make progress, and to prevent the Eight Wise Kings from getting angry.
interesting.
Yan Qi did not hesitate to stand up and said loudly: "Dear ministers, do you know that ten years ago, although the Turks invaded our northern border and were extremely brave, we, Dahua, had the ability to fight against the Turks. But why did they refuse to surrender in Goryeo? Discipline, after disobeying Dahua’s orders, what if the Turks invaded Dahua and became unimpeded?”
When everyone heard it, they suddenly felt that it made sense.
"Indeed, after Goryeo disobeyed Dahua's orders, it became easier and easier for the Turks to invade the country."
"Before, Dahua and Turks fought back and forth, but that didn't work anymore."
"There seems to be no causal connection, but it is a fact."
…
Everyone was very puzzled.
But they can only see the phenomenon, but cannot see the essence.
The emperor also frowned in deep thought.
Yan Qi's question seems simple, but in fact it is difficult to figure out.
Yan Qi nuzzled to Yang Kenu: "Prime Minister, do you know the reason?"
Yang Ke hesitated: "The truth...of course I know the truth, but...but why should I tell you the truth?"
"hehe!"
Yan Qi laughed contemptuously.
Yang Ke bared his teeth: "Why are you laughing? I know the truth, but I won't tell you, lest you learn it secretly."
Yan Qi asked the Eight Wise Kings again: "The Wise Kings have great plans and plans, and their wisdom is comparable to Zhang Liang and Han Xin. I must know the reason, right?"
The Eighth Sage King's heart skipped a beat and he snorted: "Yan Qi, don't make any pretense. Goryeo is a small country. Whether it is lost or not, it has nothing to do with Dahua. After Goryeo didn't listen to Dahua's orders, the Turks became more and more Fierce? This is a wrong inference, who would believe it?"
Yan Qi laughed three times, unfolded the map around Dahua Radiation, and pointed it out to everyone: "Ministers, please take a look, there is a sudden attack in the north.
Jue, there is Dahua in the south, and there is a glacier in the middle. "
"And Goryeo is located on a peninsula between Turks and Dahua. It borders Turks to the north and Dahua to the south."
"Everyone, just imagine, if the Turks cross the glacier and attack Dahua, is it possible for Dahua to borrow Goryeo, bypass the glacier, and attack the hinterland of the Turks?"
ah!
When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized.
Above the court, the scene was boiling.
This sentence was like the finishing touch, waking everyone up at once.
The emperor's eyes lit up with energy.
The Eight Wise Kings looked extremely ugly.
Yang Ke was also anxious: "Yan Qi, you are just delusional and conjecture. Dahua has never used Goryeo in all these years. What you are saying is pure lies."
Yan Qi smiled extremely confidently and looked at Yang Ke: "You are the prime minister and have an extraordinary status, but you must not say such superficial words. It is true that Dahua has never used Goryeo, but you cannot deny the existence of this deterrent. As long as this deterrent exists, the Turks will not dare to go deep into the hinterland of Dahua. Once Dahua enters the territory of the Turks through Korea and attacks the Turks' home base, the consequences will be disastrous."
"However, after Goryeo disobeyed Dahua's orders, Goryeo's plan to bypass the glacier was no longer possible."
"It is precisely for this reason that the Turks no longer have any worries. They rely on the natural danger of the glacier to invade Dahua. With the glacier there, they can advance and attack and retreat and defend. Dahua cannot do anything to the Turks, but the Turks can sneak attack Dahua with the strength of their war horses. . In this way, one declines and the other rises. Over time, Dahua gradually loses to the Turks militarily. As a result, it has led to today's passive situation."
After listening to Yan Qi's analysis, everyone was silent.
Silence is acquiescence.
Once this truth is proven, no one will object.
Everyone present is a wise man, who can’t see and hear the mystery?
If you refute Yan Qi, you have no brains.
Or objecting for the sake of objecting.
Yang Ke didn’t dare to say anything anymore.
The Eight Wise Kings were sitting on the silver dragon chair, with a livid face and a serious expression.
The emperor stood up excitedly and looked at the map over and over again: "Yan Aiqing's sharp eyes have solved my many years of doubts. I feel so relieved, so relieved."
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."
Yan Qi stared at the Eight Wise King sideways: "I don't know if what I said is right or not. Can I ask the Eight Wise King to comment?"
