Which pot is not opened and lifted?
"Why did Yan Qi come back at this time?"
The Eight Kings were frightened and worried.
Look up.
Yan Qi was seen walking into the main hall in a swaggering manner.
All the ministers came forward to get close to him.
"Master Yan made great contributions to Dahua by conquering cities and stabilizing the frontiers."
"Master Yan is far-sighted and strategizing."
"Master Yan is a role model for us to learn from."
…
A group of ministers began to flatter him wildly.
Yan Qi smiled like a spring breeze: "It's just good luck, a little merit, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning!"
The Eighth Prince sneered: "What great contribution can you make?"
Yan Qi raised his eyebrows: "They are all small achievements. For example, they stabilized the border of the Western Region and captured the Persian border city Yuedingbao. From then on, the troublesome Persia was restrained, and Persia was also in civil strife. They are fighting a war, and it will take a year and a half to finish, hey hey hey. Small achievements, very small, very small, insignificant, how can the Eight Kings take it seriously? "
Everyone was shocked.
"What? Yuedingbao was captured by Lord Yan?"
"Oh my god, we only knew that Master Yan consolidated the Western Region. We didn't expect that even the Persian border city of Yuedingbao was captured by Master Yan. Master Yan is really the first person in history."
"My admiration for Mr. Yan is as endless as the mountains and rivers."
…
The ministers discussed it hotly.
The Eighth Prince was so angry that he grabbed Zhang Yongwu next to him and said, "Didn't you say that Yan Qi didn't take Moon Castle?"
Zhang Yongwu's face turned pale: "It stands to reason that An Tiao should have conquered Moon Castle. Who would have thought that An Tiao would be so incompetent? What a waste!"
The Eight Kings angrily scolded: "I think you are the loser."
Yan Qi smiled and waved to everyone: "Low-key, we must keep a low-key, but we can't get a little credit and forget about it, not knowing how high the sky is!"
"Master Yan is a low-key minister and is admired by others."
Everyone praised him again.
The Eight Kings were furious.
Is this what you call being low-key?
Is there anyone higher profile than you?
The Eighth Prince was so angry that he twisted his mouth and glared at Yan Qi: "Why are you back?"
Yan Qi shrugged: "It's better to come early than to come by chance! Eighth king, there is chaos in Miao territory, what will happen if I don't come back to deal with it."
The eight kings were furious: "The chaos in Miao territory is none of your business. I will handle it myself. I don't need you to interfere in my affairs."
Yan Qi sneered: "The Eight Kings also know that the chaos in Miao territory is your responsibility? You should have full responsibility to carry out the
deal with? "
The Eighth Prince raised his head rebelliously: "That's natural."
Yan Qi asked casually: "Since you have the responsibility to handle it with full authority, why do you still ask the emperor for money? And it's 100 million taels of silver? Do you want the emperor to solve the problem, or do you solve the problem? Is it your so-called responsibility? , are you responsible for asking the emperor for money?"
Ha ha ha ha.
The ministers laughed loudly.
Such a serious and tense thing, coming out of Yan Qi's mouth, made people laugh.
"you……"
The Eighth Prince's lips trembled with anger: "There is chaos in the Miao territory and there are swarms of bandits. Naturally, a large number of troops are needed to deter them. A conservative estimate is that we need to form 200,000 soldiers and recruit soldiers. Of course, a huge amount of military expenditures are needed."
"Oh I got it!"
Yan Qi clasped his hands behind his back, stared at the Eight Kings, and asked sharply: "I led an army of 200,000 to repel the Turks? How much money did it cost?"
The Eight Kings said: "Hey, this..."
Yan Qi snapped his fingers.
Lu Xuan took out the account book and handed it to Yan Qi.
Yan Qi opened it and showed it to the Eight Kings: "I led an army of 200,000 to repel the Western Regions, but it only cost more than two million taels of military expenditure. Why did the Eight Kings dare to ask for one hundred million taels of silver? What is the basis for this? ?"
The Eight Kings hesitated and said: "This, the Miao Territory is mountainous, with numerous peaks..."
"mountainous?"
Yan Qi immediately said: "I pacified the Western Regions and defeated Persia. The terrain of the Western Regions is full of ravines and rugged and steep, especially Yuedingbao. It is located at a high place and can easily receive military achievements. So why did I put Yueding away without any effort? How about taking down the fort? Lin Lin finally got up and realized that I haven’t used up the one million taels of silver yet. I would like to ask the Eighth Prince, where did your one million taels of silver come from?”
"this……"
These words were asked to get to the bottom of things, and they poked at the Eighth Prince's weakness.
The Eight Kings were dumbfounded and found it difficult to answer.
When the old emperor saw this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
If you want to subdue the Eight Kings, you still have to look to Yan Qi.
Others don't have this strength, let alone the qualifications.
The Eighth Prince held it in for a long time and shouted randomly: "Anyway, the Nine Kings only need so much military expenditure, one hundred million taels of silver, even one tael less will not be enough."
Yan Qi snorted coldly: "In that case, let's replace the Nine Kings, and I will go and guard the Miao territory!"
The Eighth Prince's eyes widened: "Why?"
Yan Qidao: "Why? Those who are capable will be promoted and those who are mediocre will be demoted! Isn't this enough? The nine kings needed 100 million taels of silver to quell the chaos in the Miao territory. For me to quell the chaos in the Miao territory, 1 million taels of silver is enough." Well, in this way, compared with the Nine Kings, I am a superior judge. Based on this alone, isn’t it enough to replace the Nine Kings?”
The Eighth Prince squinted his eyes: "How dare you guard
Miao territory? "
Yan Qidao: "Why don't you dare? Is the land of Miao territory a sea of hell and fire? The nine kings can go, but I can't go?"
"you……"
The Eighth Prince was completely defeated by Yan Qi and lost his temper.
The Eight Kings secretly lamented their bad luck.
Because no one would dare to volunteer to guard the Miao territory.
Because this place is too messy.
There are so many ethnic groups that administrative orders are simply inaccessible.
Only the criminal ministers who were dispatched would serve in Miao territory.
Such as Xia Ming.
When all the ministers heard this, they all retreated.
However, Yan Qi dared to go.
Would you say it's annoying?
Moreover, Yan Qi also wants to replace Jiu Wang.
Can you bear this tone?
The Eighth Prince hurriedly said: "Yan Qi, please stop messing around. The Nine Kings have been in charge of Miao Territory for ten years. They know Miao Territory better than you do. How can you be qualified to compete with the Nine Kings?"
Yan Qi pouted: "The Nine Kings have been in charge of the Miao Territory for ten years, but they have not yet calmed down the chaos in the Miao Territory. I pressed the gourd and raised the ladle. I commanded the three armies. In just one year, I defeated the Turks, stabilized the Western Region, and killed the Persians. A turnaround. Hey, based on these three things alone, let the ministers tell me, am I qualified to replace the Nine Kings and govern the Miao territory?"
"you……"
The Eight Kings were so anxious that they broke into cold sweat.
An Sihai was the first to stand up: "Yan Qi's ability is the best in the world. Unless there are blind people, no one can see Yan Qi's strength and level."
Tong Jian said loudly: "I support Mr. Yan."
Lin Ruoshan stepped out: "I support it."
"I support."
"I agree."
…
A group of people stood up and supported Yan Qi.
Yan Qi winked at the Eighth King: "Mountains are not built by piles, and strength is not something you can brag about. The Eighth King should listen to the voices of the ministers. Even though I want to keep a low profile, my strength does not allow it. Hahaha..."
The Eight Kings had mixed feelings in their hearts.
A good show was completely ruined by Yan Qi.
Originally, if he had known that Yan Qi was coming back, he would not have asked for 100 million taels of silver to be used as military expenses, but would have changed his tactics to embarrass the old emperor.
If Yan Qi comes back a few days later and the old emperor hands over 100 million taels of silver, the treasury will be empty, and it will be too late for Yan Qi to regret coming back.
However, Yan Qi didn't think it was right or right, but he came back today.
How can it be so disruptive?
The eight kings wanted to cry but had no tears.
If the request for military expenses fails, Yan Qi will oust the Nine Kings.
The reason is so good.
What should I do?
