Yan Qi urged impatiently: "My lord, please give me a happy word. Will this list work? If not, I will draft new candidates. It just takes a long time and I don't know when it will be postponed."
The Eight Kings hated him so much that his back molars ached.
He couldn't afford it.
If you delay for too long, there will be backlash.
"Okay, okay."
The Eighth Prince angrily slapped the table: "You are ruthless, Yan Qi, you are ruthless, everything is up to you, that's it!"
Yan Qi pretended to be pitiful: "What are you saying, Your Majesty? I respect you very much. Otherwise, can you take out this list and ask Your Majesty to take a look at it?"
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be so anxious. If you don't agree with this list, let's discuss it slowly. Don't make me, the overlord, take advantage of me and neglect your Majesty."
Aren't you the overlord who just takes the bow?
The Eighth Prince had no choice but to smile: "I'm very satisfied. I'm very satisfied. There's no need to change the list. That's good."
Yan Qidao: "Your Majesty, just take a look."
Just look at it.
No need to look, I know that this list is all yours.
With your personality, Yan Qi, can your wealth be sweet to outsiders?
The Eighth King said: "Don't look at it. I have absolute trust in you. Just do everything according to your wishes."
Yan Qi laughed loudly: "Your Highness Shengming."
…
The next day.
Morning!
Yan Qi presented the prepared list to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, after careful consideration by the cabinet, it has been decided to appoint Du Changjian, the Minister of Household Affairs, as the governor of Shanxi, He Zhiyuan, the Minister of Criminal Affairs, as the governor of Henan, and Tian Heng, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, as the governor of Hebei."
As soon as this statement came out, all the officials were shocked.
Especially the governors in the north, you look at me and I look at you, very surprised.
"These people are all from the six tribes, and they are all capable ministers and generals of Yan Qi. How could the Eighth Kings agree?"
"Yes, this is equivalent to a slap in the face of the Eighth Prince. It would be weird if the Eighth Prince could agree to be slapped in the face."
"That's right, just watch it. The Eight Kings will definitely oppose it, and there is absolutely no way this list will pass."
…
All the governors were skeptical.
The old emperor was also surprised. He didn't expect Yan Qi to do such an amazing job.
The old emperor tentatively asked the Eighth Prince: "Does the emperor brother have any different opinions?"
He believed that the Eight Kings would definitely fall out.
In the court hall, there is no shortage of verbal quarrels.
Of course, he is definitely on Yan Qi's side.
The Eight Kings were very angry and had very strong opinions.
But Yan Qi was so determined that he could only swallow this breath into his stomach.
The Eighth Prince had a smile on his face: "I have read it and discussed it with Mr. Yan. I am very satisfied with this list. I am just waiting for the emperor's approval."
"oh?"
The old emperor was shocked.
The ministers were even more surprised.
In particular, the governors of the northern provinces were even more confused.
"The Eight Kings actually agreed to this list? This is even more nonsense than the sun rising from the west."
"Unexpected, black swan incident, what happened to the Eight Kings? Can they even agree with this list? It seems like the eggplant beaten by frost has accepted its fate."
"It seems that Yan Qi is more powerful. When Yan Qi farts, even the eight kings dare not say a word."
…
The old emperor laughed heartily.
Accident.
What a surprise.
How did Yan Qi subdue the Eight Kings?
Strange.
Anyway, the ending is good.
The old emperor was very happy: "Yan Aiqing's list is very good, and I am very satisfied with it. What's even more commendable is that the emperor's brother is also very satisfied! Yan Aiqing, I have approved this list. You can quickly arrange for three A governor takes office to benefit the people."
"yes!"
Yan Qi agreed.
…
After leaving the court.
Yan Qi quickly met with Du Changjian, the minister of household affairs, He Zhiyuan, the minister of punishment, and Tian Heng, the minister of work.
The three of them were overjoyed and hurried over, first to express their gratitude to Yan Qi, and secondly, to listen to Yan Qi's teachings.
When Yan Qi chooses and employs people, he does not just point out someone randomly, but follows rules.
Du Changjian, the minister of household affairs, was promoted by Wan Liang, the minister of household affairs.
capable!
Good at finance.
He is a rare technical official.
Talented people must be put to good use.
This time, during the verification of accounts in various places, Wan Liang braved the wind and rain and performed extremely well.
Therefore, rewards must be given.
Promoting Du Changjian is also a big reward for Wan Liang.
Same reason!
He Zhiyuan, the minister of the Ministry of Justice, was a member of Qi Ying's lineage, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, and was also a capable minister and general.
Qi Ying has always supported herself unswervingly.
Qi Ying spent a lot of effort to investigate Lu Yuan and the others.
Promoting He Zhiyuan also gives Qi Ying some rewards.
As for Tian Heng, the minister of the Ministry of Industry.
That is his old follower.
When he first entered the Ministry of Industry, he was still the deputy minister of the Ministry of Industry.
Only Tian Heng was upright and supported himself against Jiang Dongqu.
If Tian Heng is not promoted, it will be intolerable.
There was no suitable opportunity to promote Tian Heng before.
This time, the opportunity was just right.
Yan Qi first encouraged Du Changjian and He Zhiyuan to try again.
The two left happily.
Only Tian Heng was left.
Tian Hengheng bowed to Yan Qi: "Thank you, Mr. Yan, for the promotion."
"Haha, thank you for what!"
Yan Qi patted Tian Heng's arm: "We are close friends. I think back then, I just entered the Ministry of Industry. When I first arrived, I was squeezed out by Jiang Dong District. It was you and I who faced powerful enemies together. Recalling the past, remembering the bitterness and remembering the sweetness. Woolen cloth."
Tian Heng was extremely excited.
Unexpectedly, Yan Qi, who once occupied the position and fought against Jiang Dongqu, would receive such a big reward.
A governor of a province, that's a lot of power.
Although there is only half a level difference between the Minister of Works and the Governor, or even the same level, there is a wider space to delegate power outside.
Moreover, if we want to achieve great success and take further steps in the future, we must decentralize our work.
With this political achievement, it will be possible to vigorously promote him in the future.
He was even more fortunate that his choice was right.
In the past, those deputy ministers of the Ministry of Industry worked in collusion with Jiang Dongqu and did all kinds of bad things. In the end, there was no good ending.
Only by standing firmly on the same side as Yan Qi and firmly grasping justice can he be as happy as he is today.
Tian Heng was filled with emotions.
It seems that justice must be upheld at all times.
This is absolutely true.
…
The matter of governorship of Shanxi, Henan and Hebei provinces was finally settled.
Du Changjian, He Zhiyuan and Tian Heng left the capital and took office.
The Eight Kings came to see Yan Qi again.
"Yan Qi, now you have no excuse, right? If you dare to play tricks on me again, I will fight you to the death even if I fight to the death."
Yan Qi chuckled: "Your Majesty is so majestic. Even if you lend me a hundred courages, I wouldn't dare to tease you. Then, tomorrow morning, I will cooperate with Your Majesty and convince the Emperor to marry Princess Yunyue. How about that?" "
The Eight Kings snorted: "It's a deal."
Yan Qi nodded: "It's a deal!"
…
Morning!
The old emperor was in a good mood.
After all, the three provinces of Shanxi, Hebei, and Henan are still capable ministers and generals despite changing their governors.
happy!
The old emperor said excitedly: "Dear ladies, what can I say?"
