The Eight Kings can no longer show weakness.
After the incidents involving Lu Yuan, Tang Jide and Shan Yuan, the governors no longer particularly trusted him.
Even, quite a bit of criticism.
If we can no longer win over people's hearts, the situation will tend to get worse.
At this time, people must be reassured.
The Eighth Prince looked serious and said to Yan Qi: "Master Yan will hold a meeting later. It is not too late. I want to preach to the governors first. The cabinet meeting will be put aside for now."
Yan Qi smiled: "That's fine, cabinet meetings are not as important as the teachings of the Eight Kings, hahaha."
When the governors heard this, they were relieved.
Unexpectedly, Yan Qi changed the subject: "Put the cabinet meeting aside for now. I will interrogate these three worms, Lu Yuan, Tang Jide, and Shan Yuan. If the three of them confess anything about the governors, I will summon them." It’s not too late, governors.”
When the governors heard this, they jumped up in shock.
Everyone immediately knew how to express their stance.
A group of governors scrambled to surround Yan Qi.
"Master Yan, I think the cabinet meeting is very important. Let's hold the cabinet meeting first."
"Yes, the Eight Kings can preach and teach at night, and even if it is late, we will not despise the hard work."
"That's right, Eighth Prince, I understand your kindness. The cabinet meeting is extremely important. It affects the country, the country, and the country, and cannot be delayed. Therefore, I think it is more important to attend the cabinet meeting."
"You...you are really...hum!"
The Eight Kings are so shameless.
Smoke comes out of the angry nose.
Yan Qi bowed his hand to the Eighth Prince: "I accept it, Your Highness!"
"snort!"
The Eight Kings walked away.
…
at a cabinet meeting.
Yan Qi first conducted some political inquiries.
Everyone answered seriously.
Wait until the meeting is over.
Governors, you look at me and I look at you.
With a look of worry.
One of the governors could not bear it anymore and finally asked: "Master Yan, we are deeply sorry that Lu Yuan, Tang Jide and Shan Yuan went astray. We also feel that walking in officialdom is like walking on thin ice. If you are not careful, the building will be destroyed." pour."
"Yes, Master Yan, please give me some advice."
"I will listen to Master Yan's teachings."
When Yan Qi heard this, he knew that these governors were afraid.
The effect of killing the chicken and showing it to the monkey is very significant.
How could Yan Qi kill innocent people indiscriminately?
Mainly to appease.
Lu Yuan, Tang Jide and Shan Yuan are the
The eight kings are a die-hard mad dog, and they have too many cases on their hands, and their morals are extremely corrupt. Yan Qicai took Lu Yuan's three-person sacrificial flag.
Nowadays, the governors sitting in front of you are not so arrogant.
Therefore, what Yan Qi has to do is to comfort, encourage, win over, and cultivate.
Yan Qidao: "All the governors are high-ranking officials in the border areas. They hold great power and are decisive in killing. However, it only happens overnight. A little carelessness will lead to catastrophe. But..."
At this point, Yan Qi changed the topic: "Causing a catastrophe is not terrible. Who can make no mistakes in life? If you make mistakes, just correct them!"
"What I fear most is that you have failed to keep your mission in mind and have forgotten your original intention. Do you know what your mission is and what your original intention is?"
The governors sat at attention and listened attentively.
Yan Qidao: "I tell you, your mission is to serve the people, and your original intention is to be loyal to the emperor, to the country, and to the country."
"As long as you don't forget your original intention and keep your mission in mind, you will have peace of mind."
When the governors heard this, they understood what Yan Qi meant.
They were uneasy.
Worried about everything.
Left or right, it's so difficult.
However, Yan Qi has already drawn a bottom line for them.
Once the bottom line is crossed, Lu Yuan and the others will serve as a lesson for them.
The cabinet meeting ended in panic.
Yan Qi summoned Zhu Nan, the minister of Dali Temple, Qi Ying, the minister of the Ministry of punishment, and Wan Liang, the minister of the Ministry of household affairs. He wanted to join forces without delay to interrogate Lu Yuan, Tang Jide, and Shan Yuan.
The decision must be finalized as quickly as possible to avoid unnecessary complications.
Because, on the surface, they were just interrogating three people.
In fact, the three of them controlled three provinces behind the scenes and had a large network of connections.
This means that it is equivalent to interrogating the three religions and nine schools behind these three people.
This case is not unimportant.
Wan Liang, Zhu Nan, and Qi Ying listened to Yan Qi's instructions and knew the importance of this case.
"Don't worry, sir, we will review the case overnight."
"It must be done with lightning speed."
"Never give anyone a chance to breathe."
…
Yan Qi nodded: "Go and review the case quickly. If necessary, ask the military to send people over to control the situation."
"yes!"
Wan Liang and the others left.
…
The third day!
The cases of Lu Yuan, Tang Jide and Shan Yuan have all been concluded.
The three men implicated more than 700 officials and businessmen in total.
The three law divisions gathered together and went to Shanxi, Henan, and Hebei provinces to arrest people.
eight kings
Got this news,
Secretly shocked.
"Yan Qi is really quick in his actions. I want to settle the internal affairs of the three provinces, but I have no chance."
"You are paralyzed. You are cruel. I will bear with you. When I become a virtuous king again, I will definitely get it back twice as much."
…
That night!
The Eighth Prince went to the cabinet to see Yan Qi again.
Yan Qi asked: "Your Majesty came to visit late at night, what's the matter?"
The Eight Kings looked unkind: "Stop pretending to be confused! You have already captured Lu Yuan, Tang Jide, and Shan Yuan. Now is it time to fulfill your promise?"
Yan Qi shook his head: "What a promise, but I forgot it."
"What?"
The Eighth Prince was startled: "Yan Qi, stop pretending. You said that as long as I agree with you to impeach Lu Yuan, Tang Jide, and Shan Yuan, you will work with me to persuade the emperor to marry Princess Yunyue. You You forgot on purpose, Yan Qi, you don’t mean what you say.”
Yan Qi laughed loudly: "Look at how anxious the prince is. I'm just teasing you. Why are you so anxious?"
The Eighth Prince broke out in a cold sweat: "Tomorrow morning, you and I will work together to convince the emperor to marry Princess Yunyue."
Yan Qi shook her head: "The case in Shanxi, Hebei, and Henan provinces has not been concluded yet. How can I care about marrying Princess Yunyue?"
The Eighth Prince was anxious: "They have all been arrested by you and it is not over yet? Yan Qi, you are obviously delaying on purpose."
Yan Qidao: "The three provinces are in chaos, all are leaderless, and hundreds of officials are waiting to be elected. How can it end?"
The Eighth Prince slapped the table: "Then quickly select a replacement official."
"Hey, I'm just waiting for what the prince says."
Yan Qi smiled and took out a list: "Your Majesty, please take a look. This is the list of governors of the three provinces that I selected. You can see if it is suitable."
The Eight Kings are so angry.
Holy shit!
It turns out that Yan Qi is waiting for me here.
He even selected the lists of three provinces.
The Eight Kings hated him so much that his back molars ached.
"Yan Qi, the issue of selecting governors of the three provinces should be dealt with carefully and cannot be solved overnight."
"Well, it's better to wait and choose later. Let's settle the matter of marrying Princess Yunyue first."
Yan Qi shook his head: "That won't work! Officials from the three provinces have been dismissed in large numbers, and they are leaderless. We must select capable officials, and this matter cannot be delayed."
"Your Majesty, please take a look at this list. If you don't agree, I will reset the candidates. However, it will take a long time. I don't know if Your Majesty can afford to wait."
The Eight Kings were furious.
Of course I can't wait.
Yan Qi is sure to defeat me.
