Mentioning this proud work, the Eighth Prince finally felt better: "The best thing is that Yan Qi thought those foreign ambassadors would come as promised, but in fact they would not come at all. I specially told those ambassadors The master deliberately deceived him."
"Yan Qi, this idiot, was finally tricked by this king."
Zhang Yongwu offered sweet flattery: "Yan Qi's methods are nothing but cleverness. Compared with the prince's grand strategy, they are just scum."
Yang Ke was not to be outdone: "Your Majesty has plotted against Yan Qi this time. Not only can he take back the Ministry of Rites, but he can also capture the Privy Council's intelligence system. Your Majesty, you will turn defeat into victory in one fell swoop."
"Hahaha!"
The Eight Kings were in a happy mood.
Like the bright moon in the sky, the dark clouds have dispersed.
"Very good, Yan Qi will finally fall into my hands this time. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, a celebration of the worship of foreign ambassadors will be held, and I will definitely repair Yan Qi."
"Zhang Yongwu, Yang Ke, you two must be prepared to help me suppress Yan Qi. This time, you must not be soft."
"yes!"
Zhang Yongwu and Yang Ke quickly agreed.
The Eighth Prince waved his hand: "Okay, let's drink and have sex with beautiful women."
A group of beauties entered the hall singing and dancing.
The three of them started a nightlife of debauchery again.
…
A flash!
The tenth day of the first lunar month.
Normally speaking.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the day when the emperor receives foreign ambassadors and pays homage to the capital.
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, foreign ambassadors should have arrived in the capital and stayed in the post house.
All this information is public and can be checked by the Ministry of Rites.
However, the tenth day of the first lunar month arrived, and a foreign ambassador came.
All the ministers were surprised.
Yan Qi was immediately angry.
The Minister of Finance holds a meeting.
Yan Qi asked Zhao Qing on the spot why none of the foreign ambassadors had arrived?
Zhao Qing couldn't answer, and his face turned red with embarrassment.
All this news was known to the Eight Kings.
The Eighth Prince was so happy that he smiled like a fat sea.
Ever since he met Yan Qi, he had never been so happy.
The thirteenth day of the first lunar month.
Still no foreign ambassador has arrived.
Yan Qi once again held a provincial meeting of ministers and severely criticized Zhao Qing.
And he said: If Zhao Qing can't do this well, he will get out of Shangshu Province immediately.
When the Eight Kings saw this, they knew it would happen!
Empress Yan Qi realized that she had no power to recover.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Morning!
Today is a special day to receive foreign ambassadors.
According to custom, the emperor would receive worship and gifts from foreign ambassadors in the main hall.
Likewise, Dahua reciprocates with gifts.
This is the worship system in the ancient traditional sense.
Therefore, today, all officials came to court, and no one was absent.
Not waiting for the emperor to speak.
The Eight Kings first attacked Yan Qi.
He glared at Yan Qi and asked Yan Qi: "Today is a happy day when foreign ambassadors come to Beijing to pay homage to the emperor. Lord Yan, how is this going?"
Yan Qi looked very embarrassed: "This... this... something happened."
The Eighth Prince sneered: "What happened?"
Yan Qidao: "Because we are not sufficiently prepared."
The Eighth Prince looked at Yan Qi who felt guilty: "Not prepared enough? I think you are completely unprepared, right? Yan Qi, what have you been doing these days?"
Yan Qi mustered up the courage to face the Eighth Prince directly: "Why did the prince say this? Why did he openly roar at me in the main hall? I am the Prime Minister, do you think I just let you give me advice?"
The Eighth Prince was furious: "Okay, okay, thank you for knowing that you are a prime minister. But what have you done as a prime minister?"
"What day is today? I tell you, today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. It is an important day for receiving foreign ambassadors to come to Beijing to worship, and it is also a special day to show the majesty of our country."
"Today, hundreds of officials gathered together in a solemn and solemn manner just to receive foreign ambassadors who came to Beijing to pay their respects."
"But tell me, where are the foreign ambassadors? Where are they? Why are they missing?"
Yan Qi hesitated: "That... is... because..."
"Haha, Yan Qi, you have always been very articulate, why are you so hesitant? Could it be that there is something wrong somewhere?"
The Eighth Prince launched a barrage of attacks: "Is it possible that none of the foreign ambassadors have come? Well, Yan Qi, you have concealed such a big thing until now. You are simply heinous! You have failed to be a minister! You have let me down even more." You understand the king’s expectations and cultivation of you.”
The eight kings became more and more excited as they talked.
It is as if the sky of Dahua would fall if foreign ambassadors did not come to Beijing to pay homage.
The eight princes bowed their hands to the emperor and said: "Brother, I preside over the affairs of foreign ambassadors coming to Beijing to pay homage. Every year on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, many foreign ambassadors will come to pay homage to the emperor. It is just right."
It fully demonstrates the majesty of our country. "
"Due to physical problems, Brother Chen cannot continue to take charge of such a heavy workload, so he handed over the work to Yan Qi."
"My brother originally thought that in the seventh year of Yan's reign, he was strong, smart and capable, and would be able to successfully complete the important task of receiving foreign ambassadors."
"But I didn't expect that Yan Qi made a mess. Today, on the 15th day of the first lunar month, no ambassador came to the capital to pay homage to the emperor. This is simply an insult to Dahua and even more contempt for the emperor."
"All this responsibility is the fault of Yan Qi alone. Yan Qi did not do a good job in reception, which ruined Dahua's prestige and destroyed the emperor's dragon spirit. Your Majesty, this matter is very serious and must be punished. "
"Not only Yan Qi must be punished, but his party members must also be punished!"
"In the Shangshu Province, Zhao Qing, the Minister of Rites, is in charge of foreign affairs. In the Privy Council, Zhao Yulin is in charge of the intelligence system."
"Both Zhao Qing and Zhao Yulin have unshirkable responsibilities."
"I believe that Zhao Qing and Zhao Yulin should be dismissed from their posts, and the management of the Ministry of Rites should be handed over to Yang Ke, and the management of the intelligence system should be handed over to Zhang Yongwu. Only in this way can we make up for the crimes committed by Yan Qi."
"As for Yan Qi, he should be demoted to deputy prime minister and deputy privy envoy to serve as a warning to others."
This questioning was made in one breath, sonorous and powerful.
All the ministers were moved.
Discussing secretly.
"It's bad, Yan Qi got a sap from the Eight Kings."
"Yes, it turns out that the Eighth Prince gave Yan Qi the job of receiving foreign ambassadors to ambush and plot."
"Yan Qi didn't check and fell into the trap of the Eight Kings. Now, Yan Qi has no way to escape."
…
All the ministers were not optimistic about Yan Qi.
Yan Qi waited for everyone to discuss, then stood up and looked at the Eighth Prince with a smile: "Your Majesty's words are sonorous and powerful, every word is precise, smooth and clear, crisp and clear, and go straight to Huang Long. Haha, I guess, Your Majesty, You have practiced it hundreds of times in a small dark room, right? Otherwise, how could you have memorized it so proficiently, cadenced it, and roared it so powerfully?"
The Eighth Prince blushed deeply.
The momentum is a bit weaker.
He indeed recited it many times in his study.
Otherwise, how can it be done in one go?
So impressive?
Facing Yan Qi, he must be well prepared.
However, he didn't expect that Yan Qi was in the mood to ridicule him even though he had no choice but to retreat.
Really heartless.
