this……"
The Eight Wise Kings hurriedly explained: "How can I, my brother, have any savings? However, Master Jiuban has great magical power. Asking him to preside over the ceremony will surely move the prince's spirit in heaven."
"So, even though I am short of money, I still have to raise money. I want to sell three houses and exchange them for 500,000 taels of gold. With a sincere heart, I can ask Master Jiuban to come out."
Since the Eight Wise Kings said so, Master Jiuban must use it.
Yang Ke and others flattered him wildly.
"The Eight Wise Kings are so sincere in their treatment of the prince. He even sold his ancestral home to raise money for the prince. I am particularly touched."
Zhang Yongwu's eyes were red: "If the Eight Wise Kings didn't have the virtue of caring about the country and the people, how could they do such a thing? How much courage does it take to sell off the ancestral home? If you can't do it, I can't do it."
The two of them flattered each other.
The Eighth Sage King waved his hands with a look of shame on his face: "Prime Minister Yang, General Zhang, you don't have to go on the line. I, the prince, have a heart-to-heart relationship with the prince. This kind of relationship is not something that ordinary people can understand. Hey, if the prince hadn't been killed by Cao Chunqiu, , Why do I have to work so hard? Poor, pitiful."
Many ministers were moved.
The old emperor looked at the Eight Wise King with red eyes, and did not doubt his feelings for the prince at all.
The old emperor also knew it.
When the prince was a child, he had a very good relationship with the Eight Wise Kings.
Now, the fact that the Eight Wise Kings are so upset for the prince is enough to bear witness to the friendship back then.
Yan Qi watched the Eight Wise Kings perform to their heart's content, with red eyes and a sense of amusement in her heart.
This guy really knows how to act.
Now, Yan Qi has determined a fact.
The Eight Wise Kings insist on using Master Jiuban, so there must be some ulterior secret.
Otherwise, why would he insist on using Dove Ban?
Do you have to do something thankless?
It seems that there is something wrong with this Jiuban.
However, Yan Qi doesn't want to study this Archmage Jiuban who appears out of nowhere right now.
He sensed another big business opportunity.
Yan Qi raised his hand to the Eight Wise Kings: "The Wise King actually had to sell off three ancestral residences in order to invite Master Jiuban. This is too shocking."
The Eighth Sage King sighed with emotion: "Yan Qi, you don't understand the depth of the uncle-nephew relationship between this king and the prince. If you knew the depths of my heart, you wouldn't find it strange."
Yan Qi laughed: "I really don't understand this, but what I want to know now is that the Eight Wise Kings
Which three ancestral homes are you planning to sell? I'm afraid I won't be able to raise half a million taels of gold. "
How could the Eight Wise Kings sell their ancestral home?
Those are just excuses.
It is impossible for the Great Master Jiuban of the Western Region to be worth five million taels of gold.
The reason why the Eight Sage King asked for five hundred thousand taels of gold was that he wanted to use an exorbitant price to prove that Master Jiuban was a ruthless character.
Another meaning is that black money is needed.
Jiuban, an unknown character from the Western Regions, gave him ten thousand taels of silver, which was enough to support him to death.
Didn’t all the remaining money go into the pockets of the Eight Wise Kings?
However, the Eight Sages met Yan Qi and failed to ask for money.
But it was difficult to collect the water, so he had to pretend to sell the house to collect five hundred thousand taels.
In fact, this is a perfunctory statement.
However, this is where the power of the Eight Wise Kings to adapt to changing circumstances lies.
First, he bought people's hearts and let them know how much he loved the prince and how nostalgic he was.
Secondly, it is to cover up the lie so as not to reveal the truth.
Eight Sages.
Damn it, do you think I really want to sell my house?
Are you stupid?
This is the ancestral home. Can it be sold off at will?
The Eighth Sage King was afraid of revealing his secret, so he could only say that he was selling the house, and said casually: "I will sell the house in Donglin, the house in the south entrance, and the house in Beihuan."
Yan Qi shook his head: "The Eight Wise Kings are willing to give up?"
The Eighth Sage King pretended to be sad: "I have to give it up even if I don't want to. It's all for the sake of the prince."
Yan Qi was very 'touched': "The Eight Wise Kings' love for the prince is touching and admirable. But..."
Yan Qi changed the topic: "In a hurry, these three houses may not be sold."
The Eight Wise Kings sneered inwardly.
Depend on!
Do you think this king really sells it?
You bastard!
Even if I sell my house, who would dare to buy it?
How many heads have you grown?
It's just that the situation is stuck here. The Eight Wise Kings can't say it clearly and can only pretend to be stupid: "There will always be someone who buys this? You don't have to worry about this matter. I will handle it myself."
Yan Qi asked: "Then what should we do? Tomorrow is the prince's grand ceremony. If the house cannot be sold, we will not be able to invite Master Jiuban. If we can't invite Master Jiuban, won't it affect the prince's grand ceremony? What should we do?"
The Eight Wise Kings pretended to be sad: "Hey, this is not going to be easy. Why don't you give the house to Master Jiuban? This is the only way."
"Then what?
OK? "
Yan Qi said sonorously: "These three houses of the Eight Sage Kings have dragon energy, how can they be given to the Western Region Dharma? This will have a great impact on Dahua's Feng Shui."
The old emperor spoke at the side and said without any doubt: "Brother, what Yan Aiqing said is absolutely true. These houses of yours are royal ancestral properties, how can you sell them to the Western Regions Master? This is absolutely not possible, I will never allow it? You must If you want to sell it, just sell it to the Chinese people, or you can’t sell it.”
The Eight Wise Kings promised: "I will obey your royal brother's teachings."
How could he give the house to Master Jiuban?
I was just forced to this point by Yan Qi, so I had to say this.
Yan Qi's heart was broken, and she rubbed her hands vigorously: "It's not easy to deal with now. The house can't be sold, there is no money to give to Master Jiu Ban, and we can't give the house to Master Jiu Ban. This is no longer a dilemma. ?"
The Eight Wise Kings also pretended to be in trouble and took every opportunity to say: "Yes, I am also in a dilemma. Therefore, I also want to embezzle some silver coins from the treasury for turnover..."
He still wants to get some money from the treasury.
Yan Qi's eyes were strange, and she suddenly slapped her thigh: "Eight Wise Kings, why do you need to embezzle money from the treasury? I have a good idea now. If the Wise Kings hear this, they will definitely applaud and praise you."
The Eight Wise Kings asked: "What's a good idea?"
Yan Qi looked excited: "The Eight Sages can sell the house to Huaxing Bank."
"What?"
The Eight Wise Kings were shocked: "Sell it to you?"
Yan Qidao: "What did the Eight Sage King say? It was sold to Huaxing Bank, not to me! Huaxing Bank is not just my own, the Jiangsu Provincial Government and the Zhejiang Provincial Government both hold large shares. I personally am only a 30% member."
The Eighth Sage King sneered: "After all, Huaxing Bank is still at your mercy?"
Yan Qidao: "This does not mean listening to my mercy, but listening to my decision."
"Put aside other matters, the Eight Sages will sell the ancestral home to Huaxing Bank. Huaxing Bank will definitely protect the ancestral home and find a good buyer for the home."
"Second, Huaxing Bank has plenty of money and can immediately allocate 500,000 taels of silver to the Eight Wise Kings. It's no problem."
"Third, because I have influence in Huaxing Bank, I can accommodate the Eighth Sage King. Although you sold the house to Huaxing Bank, the Eighth Sage King does not have to move and can stay temporarily."
After hearing what Yan Qi said, the Eighth Sage King was furious and couldn't help but sneer: "Yan Qi, what good things do you want? How could I sell my ancestral home to you? Just go ahead and dream about your spring and autumn dreams."
