Yang Ke quickly looked at the Eight Kings.
The two exchanged glances.
Yan Qi could see it clearly.
He understood immediately.
It seems that there has been communication between the Eight Kings and Yang Ke regarding the reception of foreign ambassadors.
Yang Ke immediately refused: "I can't, I'm not qualified."
Yan Qi smiled: "Vice Minister Yang has rich experience and outstanding abilities. He is the most capable official in Dahua. If he is not qualified, then who else can be qualified?"
This was the first time Yang Ke heard Yan Qi praise him.
The most capable official in Dahua?
Under normal circumstances, Yang Ke would have even farted a little bit.
But now, he is so pissed off.
He can't take this pot.
This is a very important move for the Eight Kings.
If Yan Qi doesn't follow up, the Eight Kings will not be able to continue to frame Yan Qi.
Yang Ke bit the bullet and said: "Master Yan, in terms of ability, I am not as good as Master Yan. In terms of energy, I am not as good as Master Yan. In terms of official position, Master Yan is the prime minister and I am the deputy prime minister."
"So, overall, there is a big gap between me and Lord Yan. How can I be qualified for such an important job? I think Lord Yan is more suitable."
Yan Qi laughed loudly: "Vice Minister Yang admits that he is inferior to me in every aspect?"
Yang Ke felt aggrieved, but he could only pretend to be a grandson: "Yes, Mr. Yan is a young leader with extraordinary abilities and lasting achievements. He is also a role model for me to learn from. Therefore, Mr. Yan has to shoulder the heavy responsibility of receiving foreign ambassadors. ."
Hearing this, Yan Qi laughed loudly: "Deputy Prime Minister Yan, it's rare for you to be so humble, and it's even rarer for you to praise me so much! In the future, you must support me well so that I can gain more knowledge."
Yang Ke's face turned green when he heard this.
As I age, I still need training.
If it weren't for the introduction of the urn, how could I be so low-key?
The Eighth Prince hurriedly said: "Master Yan, such an important burden must be shouldered by me, so I still have to shoulder it."
Yan Qi refused to refuse: "No, no, I am very busy at work and have many things to do. I have a lot of work in the Privy Council and the Cabinet. How can I have time to receive foreign ambassadors?"
The Eight Kings have no more moves.
Still refused?
Finally, he used a trick.
"Yan Qi, what's going on? I tried to persuade you, but you refused again and again. This is simply contempt for administrative laws."
Yan Qi smiled: "How can I despise administrative laws?
? "
The Eight Kings said: "There are provisions in the administrative law that receiving foreign ambassadors falls within the scope of diplomacy and is also within the scope of foreign-related intelligence."
"He is the Prime Minister and the chief of the cabinet. He is naturally in charge of diplomacy. At the same time, he is also the Privy Councilor and is in charge of foreign intelligence."
"So, no matter from which aspect, receiving foreign ambassadors is a responsibility that cannot be shied away from."
Yan Qi refused again and again, waiting for this sentence.
He chuckled: "Your Majesty, do you mean that receiving foreign ambassadors is a matter within the cabinet and the intelligence department?"
The Eight Kings sneered: "Of course!"
Yan Qi asked back: "Then I have to ask the prince, since receiving foreign ambassadors is a matter within the cabinet, why did the eight princes hold this job in their hands for more than ten years but never let the cabinet minister take charge of it?"
The Eight Kings were startled: "This..."
Yan Qi asked again: "Did the Eighth Kings overstep their authority?"
The Eighth Prince hesitated: "I am afraid that the cabinet will not do a good job of receiving foreign ambassadors, and something will go wrong, so..."
Yan Qi smiled: "So, the Eighth Prince is not optimistic about Vice Prime Minister Yang's ability and thinks that Vice Prime Minister Yang is a scumbag who cannot handle the work of receiving foreign ambassadors well?"
"..."
The Eight Kings were simply driven crazy.
No matter what he said, Yan Qi was so rebuffed that he couldn't get off the stage.
Is there any more time to fight this war of words?
The Eighth Prince waved his sleeves fiercely: "Yan Qi, don't worry about what happened in the past, just remember that from now on, the cabinet is responsible for receiving foreign ambassadors, and the Foreign Intelligence Department of the Privy Council plans and assists."
"It just so happens that these two departments are responsible for it. Therefore, it is the responsibility of receiving foreign ambassadors. There is no reason to shirk it."
Yan Qi asked loudly: "Your Majesty, are you sure that it is my duty to receive foreign ambassadors?"
The Eight Kings shouted: "Of course!"
"good!"
Yan Qi snapped his fingers: "If the Eighth Prince says so, I will take this job."
When the Eight Kings heard this, their anxious hearts finally fell to the ground.
It’s really difficult.
Yan Qi finally took over this hot potato.
Yan Qi, Yan Qi, wait.
took the job.
It feels good.
…
After leaving the court.
Yet
Book province.
Zhao Qing hurriedly came to Yan Qi.
Zhao Qing is the Minister of Rites, the first department responsible for receiving foreign ambassadors.
"Master Yan, this is a great joy."
Zhao Qing was overjoyed: "The Eighth Prince actually handed over the job of receiving foreign ambassadors. It seems that he was frightened out of his courage by Master Yan and wanted to please you."
Yan Qi looked at Zhao Qing calmly: "Good thing? Why didn't I see it?"
Zhao Qinghou said anxiously: "Lord Yan, you don't know something. Receiving foreign ambassadors can increase your reputation, and you can also establish friendship with the ambassadors of various countries. It can even affect the political system and economy of various countries."
Yan Qi asked Zhao Qing: "Since the task of receiving foreign ambassadors is so important, why did the Eighth Prince suddenly let it go? Is he stupid?"
"this……"
Zhao Qing scratched his head: "As I said just now, the Eighth Prince may have been frightened by Lord Yan. He wants to hand over the power to receive foreign ambassadors in order to please Lord Yan."
Yan Qi smiled helplessly: "Do you really think that the Eighth King is a coward? We underestimate the Eighth King too much."
Zhao Qing frowned: "Master Yan suspects that the Eight Kings are up to something?"
Yan Qi smiled: "Be confident and get rid of doubts."
Zhao Qing walked around the hall thinking for a long time and said to himself: "What the hell can the Eight Kings do? I can't think of it at all."
Yan Qi smiled: "I can't think of it, it doesn't mean that the Eighth Kings are not up to something, it's just that I haven't seen it through yet."
Although Zhao Qing was confused, he chose to believe Yan Qi.
Because Yan Qilao works like a god and has no plans left.
When you go head-to-head with the Eight Kings, you never fail.
Every duel is a great victory.
Zhao Qing was confused: "Since Mr. Yan is sure that the Eighth Prince is up to something, why does Mr. Yan still want to take this job? Let's quit and leave the job of receiving foreign ambassadors back to the Eighth King to avoid being fooled."
Yan Qi chuckled: "A gold ingot falls from the sky and can be smashed to death, so I asked, do you want to pick it up?"
Zhao Qing didn't even think about it: "I have to take it, it's a gold ingot."
"Then it's over."
Yan Qidao: "Since the Eight Kings regard receiving foreign ambassadors as bait, there is no reason for us to refuse. You have to eat such a delicious pie. The worst is, if you eat the pie, the poison will be spat on the Eight Kings' faces. "
Zhao Qing looked excited: "Master Yan, what are we going to do?"
Yan Qi smiled: "It's enough to act in your true colors."
