Yan Qiruo said profoundly: "The meaning of human nature is to turn enemies into friends. If you can't do that, turn the enemies of your enemies into friends."
"In short, there are few enemies but many friends. This is the successful way of dealing with the world."
"If you can go one step further, you will have a few enemies, and your enemies will have many enemies. Your enemies will have a few friends, and you will have many friends. This is the most awesome version of human relations."
Yuan Hong and Guan Ming felt dizzy after hearing this.
"Boss, I don't understand this stuff, and we can't learn it either. Let's just lead the troops."
"That's right, we just have to control the battle and fight. Everything will be fine if we follow Master Yan's command."
Yan Qiyi spread his hands: "But I can't stay in the Western Region forever. What will happen when I leave?"
"ah?"
Guan Ming and Yuan Hong were stunned.
Once Yan Qi leaves, they will be left alone.
"Sir, we really haven't considered this issue."
Yan Qi's eyes narrowed: "I have long considered that this is the last third of the problem in the Western Regions, which is the control of the country I just mentioned."
“Think about it, the Western Region is such a vast territory, with such rich resources, such vast economic development, coupled with strategic confrontation and stalemate, cultural conflicts, plus the conflict between the seventeen countries in the Western Region, there are all kinds of problems. "
"In such a complicated Western Region, if there is no powerful person to control the overall situation, sooner or later the Western Region will become a mess like before. If the Turks infiltrate again, it will be even more chaotic."
Guan Ming nodded: "Your Majesty has many talented people under his command, including Minister Lin Ruoshan, Privy Councilor Tong Jian, Minister Zhao Qing, Minister Wan Liang, etc. Isn't it enough for your Majesty to just transfer anyone to control the Western Region? "
Yuan Hong said: "Don't worry, sir, no matter who you transfer here, we will obey your orders unconditionally! Whatever you ask us to do, we will do it! Anyway, with us stationed in the Western Regions, no one can cause trouble. Otherwise, as soon as our iron hoofs come out, there will be a mountain of corpses." Sea of blood.”
Yan Qi shook his head: "The people you just mentioned are all talents, but if you want to control the Western Region well, you need special talents!"
Yuan Hong asked: "What's so special about it?"
Yan Qidao: "In addition to having extraordinary wisdom, high foresight, and an open mind, he must also be familiar with the culture and people's livelihood of the Western Regions, know how to combine vertical and horizontal directions, and be able to deal with the complex situation of the Western Regions turning into a mess."
Yuan Hong suddenly realized: "I understand what your lord said. There are many capable people under your lord's command, but there is no one who understands the situation in the Western Regions."
Guan Ming said: "After all, Dahua has not been deeply involved in the Western Regions for ten years. Talents have been formed for generations. In addition, the economy of the Western Regions is too poor, and business contacts are almost non-existent. Under this situation, talents who are familiar with the Western Regions are even rarer. "
"There are many talented people in China who know Korea, Japan, Annam, Khmer, and Turks. Only those who know the Western Regions are very few. Sir, if you put it this way, this problem seems to be unsolvable."
Yan Qi chuckled: "How is it possible that there is no solution? Of course there is a solution, but it is not easy to solve."
Yuan Hong asked: "Do you have a suitable candidate?"
Yan Qi's eyes were sly and her words were shocking: "Have you heard of Shi Zhongxin's name?"
Yuan Hong was shocked: "Shi Zhongxin, who is both civil and military?"
Guan Ming was also stunned: "Master Yan actually knows Shi Zhongxin's name? You really know a lot about history."
"You know, Shi Zhongxin's name has been removed from the court of Dahua and has become a taboo. No one dares to talk about this name, otherwise, there is a danger of beheading."
"I didn't expect that my lord actually knows this name! My lord, you'd better not mention Shi Zhongxin, as it can easily get you into trouble."
"Hahaha!"
Yan Qidao: "Isn't Shi Zhongxin just labeled as a rebel? If I mention it, what does it matter?"
Yuan Hong and Guan Ming grinned.
"Your Excellency is the emperor's confidant, so naturally you can mention it. Ordinary people like us would never dare to mention it even half a word."
"Yes, everyone in the imperial court is very wary of Shi Zhongxin, especially the emperor. They even believe that most of the people in the Western Region who broke up with Dahua, disobeyed discipline, and even wanted to leave the palace were Shi Zhongxin's legacy. Hidden danger. So, the emperor hates Shi Zhongxin deeply."
Yan Qi smiled slightly: "Why do you think the emperor hates Shi Zhongxin so much?"
Yuan Hong said: "Isn't this clear? Why did Shi Zhongxin take control of the Western Region? Wasn't it arranged by Prime Minister Cao Chunqiu? It can be said that Shi Zhongxin and Cao Chunqiu are the same."
"Later, Cao Chunqiu rebelled and killed the prince. The Eight Kings brought order to the chaos, which completely confirmed Cao Chunqiu's crime of rebellion."
Guan Ming said: "Cao Chunqiu conspired to rebel. Shi Zhongxin was Cao Chunqiu's crony and instigated the Western Regions to rebel against Dahua's control. The Eight Kings took action and sent people to hunt down Shi Zhongxin."
"Later, Shi Zhongxin jumped off a cliff and committed suicide."
"Master Yan, think about it. Shi Zhongxin is a member of Cao Chunqiu's party, and Cao Chunqiu was convicted of treason. After Cao Chunqiu's incident, Shi Zhongxin called on the Western Regions to rebel against Dahua. With these charges, Your Majesty Of course I hate Shi Zhongxin with all my heart."
Yan Qixiao asked: "Did Shi Zhongxin's call for the Western Regions to rebel against Great China actually happen?"
Yuan Hong said: "Of course, the Eight Kings can testify."
"Eight Kings?"
Yan Qi smiled and asked, "Why are there eight kings everywhere? Does what the eight kings say must be right?"
Yuan Hong suddenly realized something was wrong.
He couldn't tell what was wrong.
Yan Qiruo said with deep meaning: "If the Eight Kings don't kill Shi Zhongxin, how will they control the Western Region and make money? Are the Eight Kings' words credible? Anyway, I don't believe it. This guy tells three lies!"
Yuan Hong later realized: "Your Majesty, that's a great reminder. But, Sir, it's useless for us to say all this. Shi Zhongxin has been chased by people sent by the Eight Kings and jumped off a cliff to his death."
Yan Qi chuckled: "Jumped off a cliff and died? Have you found the body?"
Yuan Hong said: "It is said that it was smashed into a puddle of flesh, and half of its head was chewed off by a tiger. It is impossible to tell."
Yan Qi laughed loudly: "That means there is no evidence to prove it."
In fact, Yan Qi has a clear mind.
Shi Zhongxin is still alive.
Who told Yan Qi?
Cao Chunqiu's favorite disciple and former Minister of Industry - Xia Ming!
Before Xia Ming went to Hongcheng to take office, Yan Qi secretly talked with Xia Ming Bingzhu at night.
Xia Ming revealed the secrets he had held for many years.
Shi Zhongxin’s cliff jumping was a lie.
He faked his death.
His family members are also hiding here. This means that Shi Zhongxin is not dead.
Moreover, Xia Ming said that Shi Zhongxin lived in Wusun Kingdom.
Yan Qi is very optimistic about Shi Zhongxin's ability.
Because, more than ten years ago, Dahua's national power was not strong.
Cao Chunqiu has a strategic vision and wants to control Weishan's water resources.
But how to intervene in the Western Region issues?
It's very difficult.
Shi Zhongxin put forward a series of exquisite insights.
Therefore, Cao Chunqiu supported Shi Zhongxin to take charge of the Western Region issues.
Therefore, Shi Zhongxin is the actual trader in the Western Regions.
Shi Zhongxin lives up to expectations!
He only led 5,000 troops and went to the Western Regions, fighting with each other and with words.
Three months later, we took over the management rights of Weishan’s water resources.
This ability can be called powerful.
