The Eighth Prince couldn't bear Yan Qi's sarcasm, so he stiffened his neck and changed the subject: "Your Majesty, foreign ambassadors cannot be neglected and must do a good job in entertaining them. Master Yan is very busy in receiving foreign envoys. It is better to leave the court as soon as possible to avoid neglecting envoys from various countries. "
Yan Qi said: "There is no rush to retreat. The Eight Kings' affairs are not over yet."
The Eighth King angrily said: "I have apologized to you, what else do you want? Do you still want to chop off my head?"
Yan Qi sneered: "Your Majesty made a mistake, and you still look so angry and confident? What, just because you are the prince, can you do whatever you want? Has the prince forgotten the matter of wearing the dragon robe? In the past few days, Do you just remember eating and not beating?"
"you……"
The Eighth Prince blushed: "What do you want? I have already apologized to you, please don't go too far."
Yan Qidao: "The Eighth Prince just made irresponsible remarks without investigating. He not only denied my work, but also denied the efforts made by the Ministry of Rites. You just apologized to me, but is that the end? Have you ever apologized to me? Lord Zhao Qing, Minister of Rites, apologizes?"
"this……"
When the Eight Kings heard this, their scalps exploded.
I still want to apologize to Zhao Qing?
Yan Qi said: "Master Zhao Qing, please stand up."
Zhao Qing came out.
Yan Qi stared at the Eighth Prince: "You just knocked over a boat of people with one pole. I was the helmsman, and Mr. Zhao Qing was the rower. If you don't apologize and have wronged an important official in the court, it will be unjust."
"you……"
The Eight Kings were so angry that they almost fainted.
Bowing to Yan Qi, although it was embarrassing, it was still acceptable.
After all, Yan Qi is the boss.
But, who is Zhao Qing?
Just a minister.
Apologize to him. Isn't this a tiger bowing to a sika deer?
Yan Qi handed over to the emperor: "The Eighth Kings have tarnished the Ministry of Rites without distinguishing between right and wrong. Now the truth is revealed. The Eighth Kings clearly made a major principled mistake but did not apologize. This really chills the hearts of the ministers. If the Eighth Kings are allowed to do this You are so presumptuous, but you don’t even have a basic apology, what’s the point?”
"The Eight Kings have wronged me and Zhao Qing today. Tomorrow, they will wrongfully accuse Qi Ying, the Minister of Punishment. The day after tomorrow, they will wrongly accuse Zhu Nan, Minister of Dali Temple. Day after day, how can all the ministers endure it?"
"I hereby make it clear that if the Eight Kings refuse to apologize, I will resign and will never contribute to the court again."
The old emperor locked eyes with the Eighth Kings: "If the Eighth Kings don't apologize...hehe...then fine, I'll apologize for you.
"
With that said, the old emperor stood up.
"Your Majesty has betrayed my brother."
When the eight kings saw the old emperor standing up, he immediately panicked. He secretly cursed the old thief for being treacherous and hurriedly bowed to Zhao Qing: "Zhao Shangshu, I am confused and have no information. I have wronged you. I apologize to you. "
Yan Qi said in a neutral tone: "Bow three times to show your sincerity."
The Eight Kings had no choice but to bow three times.
"Yan Qi, is it okay now?"
The Eight Kings gritted their teeth.
Yan Qi said: "And Zhao Yulin? You also wronged Zhao Yulin, don't you want to apologize?"
The Eighth Prince held back his breath and said, "Zhao Yulin didn't come again. I will come to apologize another day."
"No."
Yan Qi said to the emperor: "Zhao Yulin is waiting outside. Please allow the emperor to allow Zhao Yulin to enter the palace."
The old emperor was overjoyed: "General Zhao is outside the palace? Quick, quick, Commander Gao, please invite General Zhao into the palace."
Gao Shangtian took Zhao Yulin into the palace.
Zhao Yulin entered the palace and bowed to the emperor.
"No gift!"
The old emperor was overjoyed: "General Zhao is indeed a talent. I want to praise you greatly."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhao Yulin stood aside.
Yan Qi said to the Eighth Prince: "Your Majesty, stop standing there and start your performance."
The Eight Kings were furious.
Although I warned myself not to be angry, who could bear it?
Even Maitreya with a big belly can’t bear it.
People under the eaves can only lower their heads.
Anyway, Zhao Qing has already bowed his head, and Zhao Yulin is not the only one left.
The Eight Kings broke the jar and bowed to Zhao Yulin again: "General Zhao, I have misunderstood you a lot, please forgive me, forgive me."
Zhao Yulin blurted out: "Haihan is a piece of shit! Stop doing such shit in the future."
"you……"
The Eighth Prince was so pouted by Zhao Yulin that he almost turned over.
Yan Qi laughed loudly: "Don't be angry, Eighth King. Zhao Yulin is a military commander, a rough man, and a wild person. Please be patient with him. Hahaha."
Everyone burst into laughter.
The Eight Kings were really fed up with being so angry.
I was scolded by Zhao Yulin, but there was nothing I could do.
Who wouldn't be angry about this?
When the ministers saw the eight kings being pushed on the head by Yan Qiqiang and apologized to Zhao Qing and Zhao Yulin, the balance in their hearts changed.
"Yan Qi is so awesome."
"
Yes, the Eight Kings had no choice but to submit and bow to Zhao Qing and Zhao Yulin. After being scolded by Zhao Yulin, there was no way to reply. The Eighth Prince was too weak. "
"It's not that the Eighth King is too weak, but that Yan Qi is too strong. From now on, even if you offend the Eighth King, don't offend Yan Qi. Yan Qi is too cruel."
…
The Eighth Prince completely lost his morale and said feebly: "Your Majesty, can you withdraw from the court now?
He was really overwhelmed.
Yan Qidao: "Hold on! Your Majesty, I have one more thing. Please give me your clear opinion."
When the Eight Kings heard this, their ears trembled.
Don't think too much, Yan Qi will never be able to hold back anything good.
The old emperor said: "If Yan Aiqing has something to do, it doesn't matter if you say it."
Yan Qidao: "Your Majesty, I suggest that the intelligence system be separated from the Privy Council and the National Intelligence Bureau be established. Zhao Yulin will serve as the director and be directly responsible to the Emperor."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was extremely surprised.
"What?"
The Eight Kings were furious: "Absolutely not."
Will that work?
Never accept it.
The intelligence system is in the Privy Council, and he can still interfere.
If it becomes independent and reports directly to the emperor, it means that no one can command the intelligence system except the emperor.
Can the Eight Kings not be in a hurry?
Yan Qi smiled and looked at the Eighth Kings: "Why do the Eighth Kings disagree? Can you give me a reason?"
For a moment, the Eight Kings could not tell any decisive truth.
He hesitated and said: "The intelligence system is in the Privy Council, which can better cooperate with the military in analyzing intelligence. Once it becomes independent, it will be inconvenient."
Yan Qi smiled: "Why is it inconvenient to be independent? Who is it inconvenient to? What is the meaning of this, please explain to the Eighth Prince?"
How could the Eight Kings explain it?
"Yan Qi, anyway, I don't agree. The matter is serious and will be discussed later. There is no need to give an answer today."
Yan Qidao: "Can we discuss it later? The intelligence system controlled by General Zhao is related to the military, people's livelihood, and diplomacy, so the accusation is extraordinary. Such an important department is related to the fate of the country, how can we allow it to be discussed later? We must make a decision today."
The Eighth Prince was furious and ran to the front with his eyes wide open. He was hysterical: "Then tell me, why do you have to separate the intelligence system from the Privy Council? Is it just for the sake of reform?" ?You have to come up with a reason."
