The emperor pushed, and the steaming soup spread all over Ruian.
Snap!
The medicine bowl fell apart.
How can the old emperor think about taking medicine?
He locked his eyes firmly on the Eight Wise Kings: "Brother, why don't you retreat from the court for the time being? I'll summon Xianyang in the royal study and come and ask what happened alone. Or maybe Yan Aiqing has something unspeakable..."
The Eight Sages said: "Brother is not in good health. It would be a lot of trouble to ask Yan Qi alone. Why don't we just do it in the court hall and let my younger brother do the work for me."
"Your Majesty, you should remember that it was Yan Qi who issued the military order himself, right? The Emperor is also a witness. Is this wrong?"
The old emperor said nothing, his face extremely gloomy.
A strange smile appeared on the corner of the Eighth Sage King's mouth: "If the emperor doesn't say anything, does that mean he remembers this matter by default? Haha, Yan Qi, the emperor also remembers this matter, what do you say?"
Yang Ke's expression was gloomy: "Yan Qi, let me see how you are trying to deal with it now?"
Yan Qi smiled: "Oh, I also remembered it. There is indeed a military order. However, it seems that there are more than two points in the military order, and there is also something about me being rewarded for my meritorious service. The Eighth Sage King, you are just using this military order to It’s half done.”
The Eight Wise Kings were startled.
He indeed only took out half of it.
The other half records the rules and regulations for Yan Qi to complete his mission and receive the title of deputy prime minister.
That half of the reward for meritorious service was not good for the Eight Wise Kings, so the Eight Wise Kings naturally selectively forgot about it.
In fact, he was ready.
If Yan Qi performed a meritorious service, he would destroy the military order first.
Even if you are beaten to death, you will not admit it.
Now, Yan Qi has obviously got over it, so those worries naturally disappear.
The Eight Wise Kings were very impatient: "Yan Qi, why are you so busy? You haven't made any meritorious deeds."
Yan Qidao: "The military order is a big deal. Either take it out or don't take it out. Why only take out half of it? Is there any ulterior purpose in hiding it?"
The Eight Wise King glared: "Is there any ulterior motive? Yan Qi, I am the Eight Wise King, how can I let you question me randomly?"
Yan Qidao: "Since the Eight Wise Kings cannot be questioned, then please take out all the general's orders, take half and hide the other half. This is unreasonable."
"Anyway, I leave my words here. If the Eight Wise Kings don't take out all the general orders and hide half of them, then I won't cooperate. I will only say half of what I said and hide the other half. The Eight Wise Kings can't be picky, right?"
The Eight Wise Kings Gaze at Yan Qi
for a long time.
This guy is really a piece of meat.
They were all so passive, yet they were still holding their necks in dissatisfaction.
Humph, anyway, Yan Qi's mission to Goryeo failed and there is no possibility of promotion. Even if I take out the other half of the military order, so what?
The Eight Wise Kings winked at Tang Hanxiao.
Tang Hanxiao took out the other half of the military order.
The Eighth Sage King glared at Yan Qi: "All the military orders are here, Yan Qi, what else do you have to say?"
Yan Qidao: "I want to ask the Eight Wise Kings, what is written on it?"
The Eight Wise Kings said: "It is written very clearly on this. If you prompt Goryeo to sign the "Certificate of Credence" and station troops in Goryeo, you will be made deputy prime minister."
Yan Qi nodded: "Yes, that's what it said."
"But, Yan Qi, you have disappointed me so much."
The Eighth Sage King gritted his teeth: "I trust you so much, and the emperor values you so much. I have overcome all difficulties and learned that you are going to Korea as an envoy, and I want you to make contributions to the country. I didn't expect that this time you went to Korea as an envoy, but you ended up empty-handed." Gui, this is a great shame and humiliation for Dahua. Yan Qi, you bear unshirkable responsibility for this failure. "
Yang Ke shouted: "Yan Qi has issued a military order and must bear responsibility according to the military order. Your Majesty, please immediately remove Yan Qi from his official position and demote him to a commoner."
Zhang Yongwu also stood up and fanned the flames: "Yan Qi went to Goryeo with 500 troops, but only a dozen of them came back. Hundreds of lives were lost, and they died inexplicably."
"Yan Qi-Cun didn't accomplish anything, but he let hundreds of soldiers die in Goryeo. Isn't this tantamount to murder? Your Majesty, I ask Yan Qi to pay for the lives of these soldiers! If you don't kill them, how can you be worthy of the souls of these soldiers in heaven?"
The Eighth Sage King immediately knelt down and said, "Brother, please push Yan Qi out of the Meridian Gate immediately and behead him."
Liao Zhan hurriedly followed: "Please push Yan Qi out of the Meridian Gate immediately and behead him in public."
A bunch of ministers huffed and hung up.
"I second the proposal."
"I second the proposal."
…
A bunch of ministers took sides.
When the emperor saw this, his heart sank.
He was very unhappy and looked around the ministers: "Are there any different opinions?"
An Sihai stood up: "I believe that Yan Qi has no merit but hard work. Goryeo has not submitted to Dahua's jurisdiction for several years. No one dares to touch this cancer."
"However, Yan Qi had the fearless courage and determination to go to Goryeo as an envoy to bring peace to the world. Although Yan Qi failed and returned, this
Determination and obsession are worth learning from. If we want to kill ministers because they are ineffective on missions, wouldn't that make the ministers feel cold? "
The emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally someone spoke up for Yan Qi.
However, just being alone in the world is still a lonely person, and it is difficult to sing alone.
The emperor asked again: "My dear friends, do you have any different opinions?"
Wan Liang, the Minister of Household Affairs, stood up and said, "I feel that although Mr. Yan has not done any meritorious service, he is not guilty. If he talks about execution, isn't it an exaggeration?"
Fan Tong, the governor of the capital, came out and said: "I intercede for Yan Qi. Please forgive Yan Qi for the sake of Yan Qi's many contributions to Dahua."
The old emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that Yan Qi still has a few good friends who are not afraid of death.
The old emperor said: "Since all of you are pleading for Yan Qi, then I think...
"Brother Royal!"
The Eight Wise Kings suddenly stood up and looked directly at the old emperor: "My brother believes that since a military order has been issued, we should act in accordance with the military order. Otherwise, what is the meaning of this military order?"
"Furthermore, I just asked Yan Qi for the "Certificate of Credence" signed by Cha Mingxun, but Yan Qi couldn't produce it. This means that he has even lost the "Certificate of Credence". Isn't this a capital crime? If the imperial brother even has this Even if you can forgive me, please forgive me for speaking frankly, what qualifications does the emperor have to sit on the dragon throne? "
The old emperor was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.
However, he was speechless.
Every word of the Eight Wise Kings makes sense.
Indeed, if Yan Qi can't even produce the "Certificate of Credence" signed by Che Mingxun and doesn't kill him, how can he make all the officials surrender?
The old emperor's mind was in confusion: Do I really want to kill Ma Su with tears?
No!
The old emperor suddenly stood up.
I will never do anything like killing Ma Su with tears.
Even if Zhuge is reincarnated, he will definitely think that killing Ma Su is a bad move that can determine life or death with one move.
Because, if Yan Qi dies, wouldn’t Dahua’s future become uncertain and helpless?
Do you think I'm a fool?
The old emperor walked down tremblingly, looked down at the ministers, rested for a long time, and then said: "Yan Qi sent to Korea as an envoy, I strongly recommended it. Yan Qi returned home defeated, I also have an unshirkable responsibility, and I am willing to issue an imperial edict to offend myself. Take the blame with Yan Qi."
Sin yourself?
As soon as this statement came out, the officials were shocked!
This matter...has become a big deal.
Quite big.
