The three of them were very happy.
Especially the Eight Wise Kings, from the inside out, they feel comfortable to the core.
Yan Qi was devastated. To him, this news was like rain after a long drought.
Although Yan Qi was born as a servant, in the eyes of the Eight Wise Kings, this guy was a great demon king.
An inadvertent move turned this boy into a powerful opponent in a high position.
If this thorn of Yan Qi is not pulled out from the bones, it can hurt the Eight Wise Kings to death.
Fortunately, Yan Qi suffered a misfortune in Goryeo.
Otherwise, this guy will become a spirit.
"What great news."
The Eight Wise Kings were so happy that they drank three glasses of wine in a row.
Zhang Yongwu asked: "Eight Wise King, a few days ago, because I was worried about Yan Qi's mission to Goryeo and performed meritorious service, I have made arrangements to send all the soldiers to the northern and southern Xinjiang to prevent Yan Qi and Tao Shen from taking over the military power. Now. , just waiting for the Eight Wise Kings to sign. How to deal with this matter now? "
Yang Ke smiled sarcastically: "General Zhang doesn't even understand these things? In the past, we didn't know the success or failure of Yan Qi's mission to Goryeo, so we asked the Eight Sage Kings to make preparations and send out their troops to avoid being Yan Qi was caught off guard."
"It's different now. It has been confirmed that Yan Qi's trip was a mess. Not only did it fail to create any waves, but he was even dismissed from his post. Then why did he ask the Eight Wise Kings to sign and send troops? Don't you know that this is a superfluous move?"
Zhang Yongwu felt very uncomfortable when he heard Yang Ke's disdainful and thorny words. He opened his eyes and stared: "Yang Ke, what do you mean? I asked the Eight Wise Kings to sign. Is it wrong? This is called being prepared and preparing a second plan. , wouldn’t it be safer?”
Yang Ke curled his lips, and his smile became even more sarcastic: "General Zhang, this move is well prepared. Do you know how many connections it will cost the Eight Wise Kings? How much money will be used? How much sequelae will it create? How much trouble will it leave behind? Among the people, against How much damage has been caused to the reputation of the Eight Wise Kings? Have you ever put yourself in the shoes of the Eight Wise Kings?"
"Humph, with all due respect, you are only thinking about your own interests and have not considered the position and situation of the Eight Wise Kings at all..."
Zhang Yongwu was furious: "Mr. Yang Ke, don't be so arrogant. It's your business everywhere. Just shut up."
Yang Ke shouted: "Who are you calling a dog? I'm being reasonable."
Zhang Yongwu was so furious that he couldn't stand Yang Ke's words. He put his gun and stick in his hand, slapped the table, and yelled at Yang Ke: "Don't think you are the only one who understands. You think you can speak in front of the Eight Wise Kings because you are so eloquent." Are you being nice? I tell you, stop here
To please the Eight Wise Kings in front of me, I am not a stepping stone for you to flatter me. "
Yang Ke's beard stood up in anger: "Zhang Yongwu, you idiot..."
Zhang Yongwu was full of anger: "You insidious man, if you dare to plot against me again, I will punch you in the head."
Yang Ke pinched his waist: "Come on, try moving me and let me see if you dare..."
Zhang Yongwu was about to rush forward: "See if I dare!"
"Okay, don't say a word. Do you still have this king in your eyes?"
The Eight Wise Kings were angry, and their eyes widened with murderous intent.
Yang Ke and Zhang Yongwu sat down hurriedly, not daring to say another word.
The Eight Sages finally figured it out. Yang Ke and Zhang Yongwu had conflicts and there was no way they could reconcile.
Hehe, but this is fine.
If these two people don't get along, they will be more loyal to themselves.
The Eighth Sage King's face was sullen, but he was happy in his heart. He coughed a few times and said, "General Zhang, your plan is well prepared and reasonable. However, pretending to send troops to Annan and Northern Xinjiang will cause too much noise and it will be very nerve-wracking."
"Now, since it has been confirmed that Yan Qi's mission to Goryeo failed, this plan of pretending to send troops can come to an end."
"yes!"
Zhang Yongwu reluctantly agreed, but couldn't help being disappointed: It seems that the Eight Wise Kings still believe in Yang Ke more.
Yang Ke showed a happy smile.
Zhang Yongwu had a cold face and complained to the Eight Wise Kings unwillingly: "Since the plan to dispatch troops has been cancelled, then there is no need to advance the prince's grand ceremony, right?"
The Eight Sage King looked at Yang Ke again: "Our previous plan was to advance the plan for the Prince's Grand Ceremony and freeze official promotions to prevent Yan Qi from getting the position of deputy prime minister. However, now that Yan Qi failed in Goryeo, it is certain, then There is no need to advance the prince’s grand ceremony.”
Yang Ke was stunned for a moment and reluctantly nodded: "What the Eight Wise Kings said is absolutely true. I will do it right now."
He felt very unhappy.
The Prince's Grand Festival is a good opportunity to make money, and he wants to get the money in advance
Unexpectedly, because of Zhang Yongwu's words, it would be postponed again. It was really urgent.
Zhang Yongwu is so hateful.
…
Many people know that Yan Qi is back.
Dear friends, come and visit us.
There were officials at all levels from the Ministry of Industry, Wan Liang, the Minister of Hubu, Qi Ying, the Minister of Punishment, Fan Tong, Yin of the capital, and miscellaneous officials.
However, Yan Qi thanked the guests behind closed doors.
See no one!
Even when An Sihai, the censor of Zuodu, and Leng Wanshan, the general of Shangzhu Kingdom, came to visit him, Yan Qi turned them away.
Damn, that’s so heartless!
These news spread among the official circles in the capital.
Everyone was talking about it.
"What's wrong with Yan Qi? The door is closed to thank guests, and no one is there?"
"Yan Qi must be in a bad mood. Otherwise, how could he be so low-key? But why is Yan Qi in a bad mood?"
"Needless to say, this mission to Korea was a mess. He had no face to see others, so he naturally had to hide for fear of being seen by others."
…
Three days later.
The emperor comes to court early.
All the officials gathered.
Yan Qi is waiting in Detai Hall.
He didn't speak or say hello to anyone he saw, looking listless.
In fact, I was a little worried and restless.
Yang Ke saw all this in his eyes, and a proud smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Clang!
The morning bell rings.
Eunuch Ruian walked in and said in a sharp voice: "My lords, it's time to go to court."
The adults got up one after another and headed to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Only Yan Qi did not move. He lowered his head and frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.
Yang Ke asked deliberately: "Master Yan, it's time to go to court, why don't you get up?"
"oh."
Yan Qi made a sound, then came back to his senses, with a dazed expression: "Prime Minister, let's go first, I will wait for the emperor to declare me. If the emperor is ill and cannot go to court early, he wants the Eight Wise Kings to go to court on his behalf, so I will not go to court for the time being. toward."
Yang Ke was overjoyed: Yan Qi was clearly avoiding him deliberately.
It seemed that he felt guilty.
Yang Ke smiled: "Master Yan, I have good news for you."
Yan Qi asked honestly: "What's the good news?"
Yang Ke had a wicked smile on his face: "The emperor will definitely announce you when he goes to court today. Are you happy?"
Yan Qi was panicked: "Happy... happy, of course I am happy..."
"Hahaha. Master Yan, let's discuss right and wrong in court."
Yang Ke was arrogant, dropped a harsh word, and went to court.
Yan Qi looked at Yang Ke's arrogant and domineering back and raised his middle finger: Old man, the fun is coming, just wait and see. "
