Yang Ke indeed wanted to report this matter to the Eight Kings.
After all, this matter involves a lot. If a solution is not found, the foundation of the Eight Kings will be hollowed out by Yan Qi.
If this matter is not reported, when the Eighth Prince comes back, will he be stripped of his skin?
Yan Qi urged Yang Ke: "If you want to report to the Eighth King, go quickly, otherwise you won't be able to catch up with the Eighth King. Go quickly, go quickly, I'm busy assigning tasks, so I won't send you off."
"You...you...Yan Qi, you...you are too arrogant."
Yang Ke was very angry.
Is this chasing dogs?
Yang Ke didn't have time to be wordy, so he went out and got on his horse.
Non-stop, chasing the eight kings.
After Yan Qi held the meeting, he held a small meeting alone with Wan Liang, the Minister of Hubu, and An Sihai, the censor of Zuodu.
An Sihai was very excited: "Great, little friend, you did a good job. This time, I can finally get angry. Let me catch those corrupt officials and see if I don't skin them."
Wan Liang had a tough look on his face: "These worms, with the secret support of the Eight Kings, imposed excessive taxes and oppressed one party. The court was unable to do anything about them. The accounts of the Ministry of Household Affairs were inconsistent with the tax revenue of the provincial government every year, but they could only Open one eye, close one eye."
"This time, I have seized the opportunity. I will definitely catch a young man and shock everyone."
Yan Qidao: "This opportunity is rare! There is about a month. You must make a quick decision and don't delay."
Wan Liang and An Sihai nodded vigorously.
Yan Qidao: "This time I will conduct a thorough investigation of the accounts. I have received the support of the emperor. Gao Shangtian, the commander-in-chief of the imperial court, will lead a thousand imperial guards to protect your safety."
"Very good."
Wan Liang clapped his hands happily: "Now, we no longer have to worry about anything."
An Sihai couldn't wait: "When will we leave? I think it's better to leave now."
Wan Liang nodded: "That's exactly what I meant."
Tong Jian asked Yan Qi: "If you thoroughly check the accounts, where should you choose the first stop?"
Yan Qi, Wan Liang, and An Sihai looked at each other and smiled, and said in unison: "The land of Qilu."
When Tong Jian heard this, his eyes lit up: "How wonderful!"
The reason why Yan Qi chose Qilu was because the Eight Kings had just visited Qilu.
Moreover, this place is also the headquarters of the Eight Kings.
Starting from this place is very shocking.
…
It was almost dark before Yang Ke caught up with the Eight Kings.
He is a civil servant and is not good at riding horses.
plus speed
Too fast.
This bumpy ride almost knocked his butt into pieces.
"Eight Kings, something bad is happening."
Yang Ke was furious: "Yan Qi is going to thoroughly investigate the accounting issues of the provinces, prefectures and counties. Moreover, the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Yushi Supervisor are jointly supervising the investigation. The consequences will be serious. My lord, please think of a solution quickly."
"What?"
When the Eight Kings heard this, they were so angry that their molars ached.
"This son, Yan Qi, bullied me too much."
The Eighth Prince guessed that Yan Qi would definitely make some small moves after he left the capital.
Therefore, he made arrangements in the capital in advance.
There won't be any big trouble.
But I didn't expect that Yan Qi would not stir up trouble in the capital, but would actually stir up trouble in the following provinces, prefectures and counties.
This guy is so treacherous.
The Eighth Prince angrily scolded Yan Qiyitong.
Yang Ke said: "Your Majesty, please think of a way quickly."
The Eighth Prince glared: "What can I do? I have already set out, how can I go back? Even if I go back, I will only be arguing with Yan Qi. Will I go to Northern Xinjiang?"
"Hey, I have a headache!"
The Eighth King shook his head vigorously: "I can't control that much anymore, Yang Ke. Just tell me to go down and let the people below protect their lives. It's just a matter of procrastination until I come back."
"Hmph, as long as I return in triumph and be crowned the King of War, I will get everything back from Yan Qi."
"yes!"
Yang Ke reluctantly nodded, but was very worried: "Your Majesty, the question is, can you beat Ye Ge?"
Hearing this, the Eight Kings laughed loudly: "Prime Minister Yang, don't worry. When I return to the capital, I will be named the King of War. This matter is certain and there is no need for any doubt."
Yang Ke was panting and bowed to the Eight Kings: "I respectfully welcome the King of War on his triumphant return."
"Ha ha!"
The eight kings whipped their horses and whips, laughed and left.
Yang Ke rubbed Chrome's sore butt hard, and kept beating in his heart: "The Eight Kings are bragging again..."
…
The next day!
All the people from the Yushijian and the Ministry of Household Affairs were dispatched, and under the protection of a thousand Ouchi guards, they rushed to the land of Qilu.
Yan Qi entered the palace and discussed the Western Regions with the old emperor.
All in all, the old emperor took a stand and let Yan Qi take charge of the overall situation.
All he, the emperor, can do is have unparalleled trust in Yan Qi.
Before leaving.
Yan Qi reminded the old emperor: "Do you still remember what the Eighth Prince said in the court?"
The old emperor asked: "Which sentence?"
Yan Qidao: "The Eight Kings said that during the Battle of Annan, he personally came to Hongcheng to command the battle."
When the old emperor heard this, his heart trembled.
Yan Qi added: "According to the records, the Eight Kings are in the capital and have never been to Hongcheng. Which one is true? Which one is false?"
"Also, after the Eighth Prince said he had been to Hongcheng, he denied himself, saying that he remembered it wrong and had never been to Hongcheng at all. What was he hiding? Why was he nervous?"
The Eighth Prince frowned: "Is it possible that the prince's death in Hongcheng is inextricably related to the Eighth Prince?"
Yan Qi narrowed his eyes: "This matter...is questionable."
…
Two days later.
Yan Qi received the news from Zhao Yulin.
"Princess Wuyou of Wusun Kingdom has led the coalition forces of the sixteen countries in the Western Region and has rushed to Xiye Kingdom to launch an attack on Xiye Kingdom."
Yan Qi was overjoyed: "There is no turning back when you shoot your bow! Princess Wuyou, I'm afraid you have to change your name to Princess Sorrow."
Yan Qi arranged everything.
The next day.
Yan Qi and Leng Youxue took 20,000 cavalry and rushed to northern Xinjiang in the name of defensive rotation.
Before leaving.
Yan Qi also ordered Xu Tianhu to gather troops and deploy them at the western border of Dahua in ten days.
Then, don't act rashly.
Waiting for Yan Qi to give the order.
As long as an order is issued, he will rush to Wusun Kingdom without stopping, march to the city, and deliver a fatal blow.
…
Twelve days later!
Just after the Eighth Kings' 200,000 troops arrived in northern Xinjiang, Yan Qi's 20,000 cavalry also followed into the Black City.
The Eighth King was very surprised, and even more afraid that Yan Qi would steal the credit. He was furious: "Yan Qi, why did you bring people here? Who asked you to come? Are you here to steal the credit from me?"
"Yan Qi, I tell you very seriously that Northern Xinjiang is now handed over to me, and everything in Northern Xinjiang is under my command. You, and the sword and stone, no one is allowed to act rashly. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, You take full responsibility."
Yan Qi chuckled: "Why are you so anxious, Eighth King? I'm just here to cheer you on. Hehe, I'm a cheerleader. Come on, Eighth King. Come on, Eighth King. Brothers, start shouting."
Twenty thousand people said in unison: "Come on, Eight Kings, come on, Eight Kings."
The Eighth Prince felt even more angry as he listened to Yan Qi cheer him on.
Is this to cheer me up?
How come it seems like you are mocking me?
day!
