What Shi Zhongxin sighed with emotion was not that Yan Qi had made great achievements, but that Yan Qi saw things very clearly and had the feeling of turning the clouds and seeing the sun.
To be fair, if he hadn't taken over the management of Weishan ten years ago, today, even if Yan Qi wanted to incorporate Weishan into Dahua's territory, he would have no starting point and no excuse.
It is precisely because of his paving the way for Weishan that we have achieved today's numerous achievements.
Moreover, Shi Zhongxin lamented Yan Qi's humility.
Because, if you were an ordinary person, you would definitely take all the credit for yourself and not let others get involved.
However, Yan Qi is different.
He is willing to share credit with others.
He has a wonderful idea that makes the flames brighter when everyone adds fuel to the fire.
Shi Zhongxin's impression of Yan Qi has taken another step forward.
He happily sipped a few glasses of wine and said with a happy heart: "Master Yan has a good strategy. After obtaining the water resources of Weishan Mountain, he will occupy the commanding heights! There is no need to worry about the water resources of Dahua."
Yan Qi chuckled: "I not only obtained the water resources of Weishan Mountain, but also the economy, finance, culture, currency, weights and measures of the Western Regions! From now on, all development of the Western Regions will be closely related to Dahua and can no longer be separated. "
"oh?"
Hearing this, Shi Zhongxin was touched: "Master Yan, maybe you can explain it in detail."
"no problem."
Yan Qi and Shi Zhongxin chatted while drinking, and talked about the affairs of the Western Regions.
After hearing this, Shi Zhongxin looked at Yan Qi blankly: "Master Yan's operation shocked me so much that it reminded me of Prime Minister Cao."
Yan Qidao: "Why?"
Shi Zhongxin said with emotion: "In the past ten years, Prime Minister Cao and I have discussed the governance of the Western Regions. He also said that if we want to completely conquer the Western Regions, we must deeply integrate the finance, economy, culture, and currency of the Western Regions with Dahua. Make sure you have me, and I have you."
"It's a pity that Prime Minister Cao has a great cause, but he accidentally became a minister who conspired against him."
"However, the good news is that ten years later, Master Yan came out of nowhere, fulfilling Prime Minister Cao's long-cherished wish and integrating the economy, culture, currency, and finance of the Western Regions."
Yan Qi did not expect that Cao Chunqiu also had this insight.
He is truly worthy of being the Prime Minister.
Think far and wide.
It's a pity that he fell into the Eight Kings' plan.
After three rounds of drinking.
Shi Zhongxin stared at Yan Qi with hot eyes: "Yan
Your Excellency, you have conquered the Western Region, which is a great achievement, but I don’t know why you are superfluous, ignoring the danger, and searching for me so hard? "
Yan Qi winked: "You are the governor of the Western Regions. If we don't find you, who will govern the Western Regions?"
"ah?"
Shi Zhongxin was shocked and smiled bitterly: "Master Yan, please stop joking. I am a rebellious minister and have been dead for ten years. Where can I be the governor of the Western Regions?"
Yan Qi's eyes were determined: "I said you are the governor of the Western Region, but you are not the same! As long as... you are willing!"
These words are quite domineering.
Shi Zhongxin's eyes were bright: "Sir, you must understand that I am a treasonous minister. Once I appear in this world, I will kill the nine tribes."
"wrong!"
Yan Qidao: "Who said you were a treasonous minister? That was all the work of the Eight Kings!"
"At the beginning, the Eight Kings were the dominant family and commanded the world. He said that you were a treasonous minister. Naturally, no one dared to object."
"But, what now?"
Yan Qi's eyes were stern: "I have the final say now! I said you are not a treasonous minister, so of course you are not! Who dares to say that you are a treasonous minister? No problem, show me the evidence! If you can't show the evidence , I can’t kill him!”
Shi Zhongxin felt Yan Qi's domineering and fierceness.
That kind of domineering attitude that does not believe in evil gives people security and strength.
"But……"
Shi Zhongxin was very hesitant: "Your Majesty..."
Yan Qidao: "The Emperor is looking forward to Master Shi's comeback!"
"Now, the emperor also knows that there must be something fishy about Prime Minister Cao's crime of treason. However, we don't know where the mystery lies. We need Xia Ming to investigate secretly."
"However, it is certain that Prime Minister Cao was unjustly accused. And you, Shi Zhongxin, are even more of a victim."
"So, Mr. Shi, you don't have to have any worries. I can tell you with absolute certainty that as long as I support you, the Emperor will support you and all the officials will support you! Only the Eight Kings and those bastards will oppose and criticize you. you!"
"But, as long as I am here, you don't have to be afraid. If the sky falls, I will hold it up, and it will be none of your business."
"Besides, you are in charge of the Western Region. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Who can do anything to you?"
Shi Zhongxin was deeply touched after hearing this.
"Hey, Master Yan, I am a little timid when it comes to governing the Western Region."
"timid?"
"Yes, just timid."
Shi Zhongxin said: "My understanding of the Western Regions is still ten years ago, and many of my views are outdated! Moreover, I have not been involved in political affairs for a long time, and now I have gray hair. How can I be qualified for the position of governor?"
"Master Yan, I have no interest in being an official in this life. It is enough to know that Dahua controls the Western Region."
Yan Qi did not comfort Shi Zhongxin, but smiled slightly: "I only ask you two questions. If you can answer them, I will let the tiger go back to the mountain, okay?"
Shi Zhongxin nodded: "Please ask, Mr. Yan."
Yan Qi pointed at Shi Zhongxin's heart: "Are you willing to be labeled as a rebellious minister by the Eight Kings? Are you willing to be written in the "Er Minister Biography"? Although you are innocent, many ministers also know You died unjustly.”
"But, a hundred years later, will anyone still know that you were wronged? They don't know, they will only endorse it, so as to firmly remember that Shi Zhongxin was a treasonous minister. After he realized his crime, he jumped off the cliff and died."
"I just want to ask Mr. Shi, can you accept this result? If you can accept it, just pretend that I didn't say anything."
These words pierced Shi Zhongxin's heart.
How could he accept it?
He really couldn't accept the charge of being a rebellious minister.
He couldn't bear it even more. A hundred years later, he was reviled by a group of ignorant scholars.
Or, a thousand years later, his name will still be in "The Biography of Erchen".
This is simply a huge shame.
Shi Zhongxin frowned and his eyes turned red: "Master Yan, what's your second question?"
Yan Qi took out a map of the Western Region: "My ideal is very big, very vast! I don't just want the Western Region to be a vassal state of Dahua. My ideal is not just the land of Weishan Water Resources. My ultimate goal , is to incorporate the Western Region into the territory of Dahua!"
"I would like to ask Mr. Shi, are you really not interested in the ideals and strategies of incorporating the Western Region into Dahua's territory? Don't you want to realize this feat in your own hands?"
"As long as you are in office and incorporate the Western Region into the territory of Great China, who will dare to say that you are a rebellious minister? Who will dare to include you in the "Two Ministers"?"
"If you really achieve this, you will have opened up territory for Dahua, and you will be a great contributor to Dahua. You will be famous in history! Thousands of years later, your glorious achievements will be remembered in textbooks!"
"Aren't you moved by all these things?"
