Yan Qi chuckled: "That's easy to handle."
"Brother Yulin, we won't invite those old connections to the capital this time. Those people are all connections to the Eight Kings. I don't care about them, and Dahua doesn't need them either. They're all bullshit."
"This time, we will drive out all these related households. From now on, they will not be able to step into Dahua again."
Zhao Yulin was confused: "If we don't want these people to come to Beijing to worship, then who can we go to?"
Yan Qi's eyes were sly: "Look for their competitors or enemies to come to the capital to worship. The enemies of their enemies are friends."
Zhao Yulin suddenly realized: "Yes, they won't come, but their political opponents or rivals will definitely oppose them, and they will come. Master Yan, this is a really clever move."
Zhao Qing was quite doubtful: "Master Yan, I am worried about something."
Yan Qi waved his hand: "Say!"
Zhao Qingdao: "Those opponents or enemies of foreign ambassadors may not come due to the situation, and even if they come, not all of them may come. This matter is still between two sides. Please be aware of it."
"well said."
Yan Qi cast an admiring look at Zhao Qing: "Zhao Shangshu can think of this, he definitely has enough brains."
Zhao Qing looked at Yan Qi's confident eyes: "Does your Excellency have any other options?"
Yan Qi laughed: "Of course!"
Zhao Qing looked hopeful: "Please make it clear, sir."
Yan Qidao: "If you want a horse to run, you must give it grass. If you don't eat grass, which horse will run?"
"Haha, this time to receive foreign ambassadors to come to Beijing to worship, I plan to use 20,000 war horses and distribute them to the countries that send ambassadors and come to Beijing to worship by drawing lots."
"What?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Qing and Zhao Yulin's eyes widened at the same time.
"Sir, do you want to share 20,000 war horses with the countries that come to Beijing to worship?"
"Isn't this too generous?"
…
Yan Qi chuckled: "If I don't take out some bait, how can I get them to take the bait? Brother Qi never fishes."
"Brother Yulin, Lord Zhao, think about it, how attractive would twenty thousand war horses be to the countries in the Western Regions?"
"War horses are different from money and goods. War horses are treasures that cannot be traded. In other words, you can't buy them even if you have money. It is very difficult for small countries like them to come up with two thousand war horses."
"As for me, I will take out 20,000 war horses and share them with the various vassal countries. They will not be happy to die.
That's weird. "
"Furthermore, whoever becomes an ambassador, goes to Beijing to pay homage, and gets a war horse has brought glory to the country and made a great contribution. When they return to the country, they will be promoted, and from then on they will rise to the top and reach the sky."
"Guess, the political opponents of foreign ambassadors will compete to serve as ambassadors and come to Beijing to worship?"
Zhao Yulin clapped her thigh excitedly: "Of course I can, I'm afraid I'll break my head."
Zhao Qing said: "My lord, this plan is too offensive. It will be 100% successful! My lord, this is a stroke of genius."
Yan Qi laughed loudly: "So, Minister Zhao, you must be well prepared to receive foreign ambassadors. As long as you are well prepared, you will have achieved merit."
"yes!"
Zhao Qing agreed and was very excited.
Yan Qi looked at Zhao Yulin: "This matter must be completed secretly, and the Eighth Prince cannot know about it."
"Contact those people secretly, don't let the news slip, and tell them very seriously that whoever leaks the news will lose the qualification to get the war horse."
"yes!"
"Also, you must remember that the selected object must meet three points."
"Sir, please speak!"
"First, we must choose to go to Beijing to worship with the ambassadors who originally came to Beijing to worship, and those who have unforgettable pain. Others will not be considered."
"yes!"
"Second, among those who meet the first requirement, you must choose someone with high status and authority. The higher the status, the better."
"yes!"
"Third, among those who meet the first and second requirements, we must choose those who are relatively young, have a good official reputation, and can continue to influence the destiny of the country."
"Satisfying these three points is the most perfect. If it doesn't work, you have to satisfy two points. At the worst, you have to satisfy the first point. Do you understand?"
Zhao Yulin nodded vigorously: "I understand what you mean, you want a long-term discussion."
Yan Qi smiled: "We can't make a one-time deal! These people who come to Beijing to worship have benefited from us. From now on, we must continue to keep in touch."
"These people are very important. In the future, they will have a very important influence on our intervention in the situation in the Western Region. This is what is called cultivating the fifth column. Haha!"
Zhao Yulin nodded: "Sir, I learned."
Yan Qidao: "Okay, the big thing has been resolved."
Zhao Yulin said hurriedly: "Sir, the matter of Wusun Kingdom contacting other countries in the Western Region and intending to destroy Xiye Kingdom has not been resolved yet."
Yan Qi smiled: "
There is no need to solve this problem, just let them fight. If they don’t fight, I will encourage them to fight. "
"ah?"
Zhao Yulin was confused: "Let Wusun Kingdom attack Xiye Kingdom? Why...why is this?"
Yan Qi laughed loudly: "If the Wusun Kingdom does not attack the Xiye Kingdom, how can we intervene? Only if they attack with real swords and guns can we have the opportunity to lead the army to the west and march straight in."
Zhao Yulin suddenly realized: "I understand, Lord Yan, this is what makes a strategist different. I have learned from it."
…
Zhao Yulin took a night's rest.
At dawn.
Zhao Yulin returned to the Western Regions quietly.
Come to Wuying!
Go without a trace!
Zhao Qing also started to welcome foreign ambassadors step by step.
Everything looks so normal.
Spring Festival is here!
Post couplets.
Make pairs.
Big red lanterns hang high.
Set off firecrackers.
It was so lively with lanterns and colorful decorations.
The streets and alleys are bustling with activity.
After the New Year’s Eve dinner.
The old emperor tours the capital.
Yan Qi followed closely beside the old emperor.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, the people came out to set off firecrackers.
When I saw the emperor, there was a roar.
"Long live the Emperor, long live, long live the Emperor."
"May my country be prosperous and prosperous."
"I hope Dahua will regain its former glory."
…
The old emperor was very excited: "I will live up to everyone's trust."
The Eight Kings stood beside the old emperor with a kind face and waved to the people: "I am very happy to see your smiling faces. Alas, it is not in vain that I have devoted all my efforts to share the worries of the Emperor and Dahua. "
"In my heart, what I care about is you. This life is for you, and the rest of my life will be for you. For the sake of the love between my parents, I am willing to work hard and die."
These words were quite touching.
There were many people crowding around and shouting loudly.
"The eight kings are mighty."
"The Eighth Prince is a good prince."
"The Eight Kings are well loved."
…
Yan Qi looked at those hysterical people with exaggerated expressions and shouting slogans.
My heart is clear!
Navy, absolute navy.
How much did it cost to hire? Are you so dedicated?
