"That's natural!"
An Yushi drank a glass of wine and sighed with emotion: "I won't say anything else about the Eight Wise Kings, but just speaking of the Eight Wise Kings' feelings for the prince, they are truly sincere and passionate, and are incomparable to ordinary people."
"This grand ceremony for the crown prince was proposed by the Eight Wise Kings, and it was also handled by the Eight Wise Kings. From top to bottom, everything must be done personally, and the requirements are very strict. If anything is not done well, they will be severely reprimanded. Hey, I have never seen the Eight Wise Kings. The wise king is so serious about his work. I am so touched, so touched."
Yan Qi smiled: "I'm afraid not only An Yushi was moved, but even the emperor and the civil and military officials of the court were also moved."
"Xian son-in-law, you are really right."
An Sihai blinked: "My dear son-in-law, do you know why the Eight Wise Kings have won the emperor's respect for so many years? Even if the Eight Wise Kings did something outrageous, the Emperor would turn a blind eye or close one? Why?" do you know?"
Yan Qi's eyes widened: "Yu Shi An, please tell me."
An Sihai said: "It's because the Eight Wise Kings and the Crown Prince have an irresistible relationship. They are called uncles and nephews, but in fact, their relationship is as close as brothers. When the Crown Prince was young, he grew up with the Eight Wise Kings, and the Eight Wise Kings had a close relationship with each other. The wise king taught the prince how to read and write, and taught the prince how to be an emperor. The eight wise kings can be said to be the prince’s first teachers.”
"It was only when the prince was twelve years old that he suddenly asked Cao Chunqiu to teach him because the Eight Wise Kings were busy. Only then could the Eight Wise Kings complete their mission."
Yan Qi remembered An Sihai's words: When the prince was twelve years old, he suddenly asked Cao Chunqiu to teach him on the pretext that the Eight Wise Kings were tired.
The word 'suddenly' is used very cleverly.
interesting.
Yan Qi added: "It seems that the Eight Wise Kings have put a lot of effort into the prince."
An Sihai nodded: "The emperor has seen all this, so he re-appointed the Eight Wise Kings. Considering that the Eight Wise Kings and the Crown Prince are less than twenty years apart, the Emperor thought carefully. After a hundred years, the Eight Wise Kings The king can also try his best to assist the prince. After all, he is his brother and deserves trust."
"Furthermore, the Eight Wise Kings are indeed capable and capable. Everyone in the civil and military dynasties admires the Eight Wise Kings very much."
"So, as long as the Eight Wise Kings don't do anything too outrageous, the emperor will not care about it. This is the deep brotherhood!"
Yan Qi nodded: "It's really a deep brotherhood."
Then he muttered to himself: "It seems that the Eight Wise Kings made the right move again by holding the prince's grand ceremony."
When An Sihai heard this, he was stunned for a moment: "What did you say? The Eight Wise Kings are playing... chess? What do you mean? Are you opposed to holding the Prince's Grand Ceremony?"
Yan Qi laughed loudly: "Objection? I don't object at all."
"Then what do you mean when you say that the Eight Wise Kings are playing chess?"
"It's nothing. Life is a chess game. Everyone is a chess piece. As long as you live, you have to play various roles on the chess board."
"wrong!"
An Sihai was scheming and looked at Yan Qi with a playful smile on his face: "You are opposed to the Eight Wise Kings holding a grand ceremony for the crown prince, right?"
Yan Qi chuckled.
Noncommittal.
An Sihai said: "Why do you object? The Eight Wise Kings hold a grand ceremony for the prince and express their longing for the prince. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Yan Qidao: "I don't know what's wrong, but I instinctively think that there must be something fishy about the Eight Wise King's actions."
An Sihai said: "This is because you have a prejudice against the Eight Wise Kings. The Prince's Grand Sacrifice was personally carried out by the Eight Wise Kings. So, you are opposed to the Prince's Grand Sacrifice, right?"
Yan Qi shook his head: "Of course it's not right. You think of me too superficially, and you think too superficially of the Eight Wise Kings."
An Sihai asked: "What do you mean by this? How deep does your Eight Wise Kings hide?"
Yan Qi smiled: "When chatting with An Yushi, it goes without saying that I can summarize what kind of person I am. At my core, I am a scheming, cunning, and scheming person. I can take one step, see three steps, see six directions with my eyes, and listen with my ears. Listen to people from all directions. Therefore, no matter what I do, the original intention of doing it will only be discovered when it is almost completed."
An Sihai had a bad smile on his face: "You brat, you also admit that you are a scheming and cunning guy? Hehe, it seems that you are very self-aware of who you are."
Yan Qi continued: "Who is the Eight Sage King? To be precise, he is a person infinitely close to me. He is also a sinister, deep, calculating, and good at disguise. Every step he takes , every plan, even every word, every smile, has certain logic hidden deep in it. Such a calculating person will never do anything useless."
"The Prince's Festival wasted a lot of efforts of the Eight Wise Kings.
, did it personally and worked tirelessly, even spending more than 100,000 taels of silver, holding mourning ceremonies throughout the city, and even asking a mage to do the work to summon the prince's soul. "
"Moreover, it is very untimely to bear the pressure of the Turks moving north. It is under such an extreme situation that the Eight Sage Kings resolutely held the Prince's Festival. Is it just to express their longing for the Prince? An Yushi, do you think it is possible? ?”
Hearing this, An Sihai thought for a long time and sighed: "Xian son-in-law, you are right, you are right. The Eight Wise Kings have worked hard to hold a grand ceremony for the crown prince. What are they going to do?"
Yan Qidao: "The picture is poor but the dagger is visible. It has just begun. Who knows what medicine he is selling in the gourd?"
An Sihai slapped the table: "No, I want to stop him. When I go to court tomorrow, I will make a remonstrance to the emperor and prevent the prince's grand ceremony from being held."
Yan Qi shook his head: "That's wrong."
An Sihai said: "What's wrong?"
Yan Qidao: "Because, the Prince's Grand Sacrifice has become a fait accompli. No matter who it is, they can't stop the Prince's Grand Sacrifice from being held as scheduled!"
"Moreover, even the emperor, ministers, and even the people readily accepted this matter and even raised their hands in approval."
"At this critical juncture, Yushi An wants to go against the grain and oppose the Prince's Grand Sacrifice. The result can only be that you are mantis trying to control the car, and you are ignorant and confused. It may even be inferred that you have a dark heart and are disrespectful to the emperor. If you don't like the prince, if you go further, you will retire and return to your hometown."
When An Sihai heard this, a chill ran down his spine.
"Holy shit!"
"so serious?"
An Sihai felt a rattle in his heart.
Yan Qi snorted: "You still don't believe it? How did Qu Yuan die? Did he forget what he learned from the past?"
An Sihai was inspired.
That's right.
Qu Yuan was sober when everyone was drunk.
Although he was "alone" and correct, he finally drowned himself in the river.
An Sihai was very sleepy just now, but now he was not sleepy at all. He lowered his voice and asked Yan Qi: "Then what should I do?"
Yan Qidao: "What else can be done? Like me, for the Prince's Grand Sacrifice, raise your hands in favor and just go with the flow. Remember, don't be the first to do so."
An Sihai said: "Then what? Just do nothing?"
