As long as the eight kings agree to the creation of the position of deputy prime minister, it will be de facto passed.
Because, the emperor will listen to whatever Yan Qi says.
Yan Qi agreed, the Eight Kings agreed, and the Emperor agreed, so the appointment of a deputy prime minister sealed the deal.
The opinions of the Eight Kings are very important.
The Eight Kings hesitated and hesitated.
Yang Ke stood behind the Eighth Prince and murmured in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you have to be careful about this matter, be careful, Yan Qi must be harboring evil intentions..."
How could the Eight Kings not know that Yan Qi had evil intentions?
However, he and Yan Qi had a secret deal.
If Yan Qi doesn't obey, I'm afraid Yan Qi will go crazy.
Moreover, he couldn't offend Tang Hanxiao.
This person is still extremely important.
The Eighth Prince cautiously smiled at Yan Qi: "Master Yan suddenly mentioned this matter, and I am not ready yet. I think we can discuss it in the long term..."
Yan Qi did not give the Eight Kings a chance to evade, and said simply: "Now is the troubled time in China! Whether it is the northwest or the northern Xinjiang, there are a lot of troubles! Also, the south is not peaceful, and it needs capable ministers and generals to deal with it. . In addition, many new governors have been replaced, making it even more difficult to deal with internal affairs."
"So, let's look at Dahua's situation. It needs to be sorted out from the inside out, from top to bottom. At this time, of course, we need to add a deputy prime minister to handle various matters to solve the urgent needs. Eight Kings, you Do you think my analysis makes sense?”
The Eight Kings grinned: "This..."
Yan Qi sneered: "With the eight kings' foresight and true knowledge, you won't deny my vision of building a country, right?"
The eight kings couldn't handle it at all.
In particular, Tang stared at him eagerly with a smile.
If the Eight Kings deny it, it will really chill Tang Hanxiao.
Moreover, what Yan Qi said makes perfect sense.
It’s just that Yang Ke will feel very uncomfortable.
However, there is no other way but to let Yang Ke suffer for a while.
The Eighth Prince finally made a decision: "I think Lord Yan made a good point. The court is in a period of chaos, and it is the right time to hire people. It is indeed a good idea to add a deputy prime minister to handle government affairs."
"Tang Hanxiao has outstanding abilities, profound talents and knowledge, and has been honed in the civil service department for ten years. As deputy prime minister, he will be able to take on big responsibilities."
As soon as these words came out, Yang Ke was completely dumbfounded: "Your Majesty, this... this is impossible..."
Tang Hanxiao was overjoyed: "Thank you so much, Your Majesty."
Yan Qixiao looked at Tang Hanxiao:
"Master Tang, don't you thank me?"
Tang Hanxiao bowed to Yan Qi again: "Thank you, King War, for your support."
He looked at Yang Ke again and said with some complaint: "Thank you, Mr. Yang, for your support."
Yang Ke is so embarrassed.
At this moment, it was a done deal, and there was absolutely no way he could save it.
No matter how much you disagree, it's useless.
Because as long as Yan Qi agrees and the Eight Kings agree, the emperor will definitely be able to pass it.
Regardless of whether Yang Ke agrees or not, Tang Hanxiao's promotion to deputy prime minister is already a certainty and a certainty.
Yang Ke swallowed the bitter water and congratulated Tang Hanxiao: "Congratulations to Mr. Tang, congratulations to Mr. Tang. Mr. Tang finally has a chance to display his talents."
Tang Hanxiao was very excited: "In the future, I hope Master Yang will take care of you and support you a lot."
Yang Ke felt bitter.
I take care of it?
Do I support you?
I am the Deputy Prime Minister and you are also the Deputy Prime Minister. How can I take care of you?
How will I, the boss, manage you, my younger brother?
Worry!
Yan Qi smiled at Tang and said, "Tomorrow, the Eighth Prince and I will advise the Emperor on this matter. Lord Tang is just waiting to take office. Oh, by the way, we also need to do a good job in handing over the staff."
Tang Han smiled and asked: "Who should I hand over to?"
Yan Qi immediately said: "This is simple. I just wanted to support Master Peng Ran, but there was no vacancy, so I couldn't do it."
"It's fine now. Mr. Tang has been promoted to deputy prime minister. There happens to be a vacancy in the Ministry of Personnel. Mr. Peng Ran has extraordinary abilities. He will be of great use as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Hahaha."
It wasn't until this moment that everyone understood Yan Qi's true intention.
The ministers couldn't help but secretly admire him.
"Yan Qi is so awesome. He created a deputy prime minister position out of thin air for Tang Hanxiao. Tang Hanxiao's carrot hole was filled by Peng Ran. I admire him greatly."
"Master Yan's calculations are profound and unexpected. He really tricked Yang Ke once."
"Now, all the six ministers are from Yan Qi. The minister of official affairs is Peng Ran, the minister of rites is Zhao Qing, the minister of military affairs is Lu Xuan, the minister of punishments is Qi Ying, the minister of household affairs is Wan Liang, and the minister of labor is Wan Liang. The minister is Lin Ruoshan. Master Yan has finally unified the world."
…
Tang Hanxiao also came back to his senses.
It turns out that Yan Qi is not interested in drinking.
However, Tang Hanxiao is also a beneficiary.
Anyway, he got promoted.
The most bitter ones are those of Yang Ke and the Eight Kings.
Yang Ke strongly objected: "No, Yan Qi, this matter must be discussed in the long term."
Yan Qi stood up sharply: "Why not? Vice Prime Minister Yang just said it categorically. He was very sure of Peng Ran's ability. He also took the initiative to propose that because there is no vacancy, otherwise Mr. Peng Ran would definitely be promoted."
"Now, there is a vacancy in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. It is an opportunity for Lord Peng Ran to show off his talents, but Vice Minister Yang is now strongly opposed to it? This is completely contrary to what you just said to Peng Ran! Could it be that, Vice Minister Yang Is Xiang a two-faced villain?"
"Hey, this..."
Yang Ke fell into Yan Qi's trap and was speechless. He hurriedly asked the Eighth Kings for help: "Please express your stance. Please express your stance solemnly."
Yan Qi smiled: "Yes, this matter needs the Eighth King's consideration. Eighth King, please express your opinion. I also respect the Eighth King's opinion."
The Eight Kings really didn't expect that Yan Qi would make such a good move.
For him, it was a dilemma.
Because Tang Hanxiao became the deputy prime minister and had no benefit to the Eight Kings.
Yang Ke himself is the deputy prime minister. What's the point of adding Tang Hanxiao as the deputy prime minister?
What Tang Hanxiao took away was Yang Ke's power, not Yan Qi's.
Moreover, the relationship between Yang Ke and Tang Hanxiao was originally that of an elder brother and a younger brother.
Now, the elder brother is not the elder brother, and the younger brother is not the younger brother.
How to deal with this?
The biggest harm is that the official department is controlled by Yan Qi.
The six ministerial books all fell into the hands of Yan Qi.
The Ministry of Personnel, that is the department that evaluates officials.
Once you control this department, you can evaluate officials.
It is also easier to promote officials.
The Eighth Prince lost his position as Minister of Civil Affairs and was very heartbroken.
But what if Yan Qi doesn’t agree?
That's bad.
Don't think about Princess Yunyue.
The consequences are even worse.
The two powers want to do the lesser harm.
The Eighth Prince had no choice but to bite the bullet and express his position: "I believe that Peng Ran has outstanding talents and will be qualified for the post of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs."
Everyone was in an uproar!
No one expected that the Eight Kings actually agreed.
Yang Ke was particularly disappointed: "Eighth King, you..."
Unable to control his excitement and not wanting to give face to the Eight Kings, Yang Ke tossed his sleeves and left angrily.
