The Eighth Prince felt the terror of the knife hidden in Yan Qixiao. The insidiousness was like a sharp dagger, held high and inserted into his heart, which made his heart hurt.
What a shrewd person Ba Wang is.
He guessed that what Yan Qi said next would be very detrimental to him.
Because Yan Qi has always controlled the rhythm very accurately.
One step at a time.
The Eight Kings had no power to fight back.
If you don't leave now, if you wait until Yan Qi makes an attack, it will be too late.
Thirty-six strategies are the best.
The Eighth Prince shook his head eagerly: "No, no, I'm not feeling well. I have to go back and rest immediately."
Yan Qi stopped him: "The Eighth Prince is feeling unwell and wants to go back to rest? Haha, look at the old emperor. He is terminally ill, unable to walk or stand, yet he still insists on going to court."
"But you, with your face glowing and your arms and legs strong, actually said you wanted to go back to rest. Are you ashamed? Is it embarrassing? Is it disgusting? Shouldn't you learn more from the Emperor?"
"this……"
The Eighth Prince was forced to do nothing by Yan Qi, and said angrily: "Brother Huang is feeling unwell and has to rest."
The old emperor struggled to get up: "No, no, no, after meeting the crown princess and the emperor's grandson, I... I am in a very good mood, and I am in good spirits. Ahem... I am in good spirits. I will continue to go to court. My dear friends, who of you are there? You cannot retreat from the court, you must listen carefully...listen carefully to what Master Yan has to say."
The old emperor made it final, no one can leave.
Yan Qi looked at the Eighth Kings: "If the Eighth Kings insist on leaving, they are disobeying the imperial edict. What is the crime of resisting the edict? You must know better than me, right?"
The Eight Kings continued to find reasons: "But I am not feeling well."
Yan Qi said: "Come here, prepare a purple wood chair for the Eight Kings. If you can't sit still, you can also prepare a bed for the Eight Kings to lie down."
"If lying down is not possible, you can ask Hua Wubing to treat the Eighth Prince immediately. This will ensure that the Eighth Prince is in good spirits and listens to my story attentively."
"You...hum!"
The Eight Kings snorted heavily.
He knew that he would never be able to escape after being entangled in Yan Qi, a dog-skin plaster.
Not a moment.
Purple wood chairs and beds are brought here.
Yan Qi sneered: "All the props are ready. The eight kings can choose by themselves. They can sit or turn upside down. Anyway..."
Yan Qi paused for a moment, with a strange look in his eyes: "Eight Kings can't stand up anyway."
The Eighth Prince's heart skipped a beat, and he was dripping with cold sweat.
Yan Qi's last words, 'You can't stand up anyway', had a certain meaning and reminded the Eighth Prince of his own life.
The Eighth Prince looked at the chair and bed and gritted his teeth: "I will stand, not sit down, let alone fall down."
"Very good, that's what makes it interesting."
Yan Qi applauded.
The Eighth Prince looked at Zhang Yongwu, feeling a little confident.
Because Zhang Yongwu had already ambushed an army of 200,000 men.
At the critical moment, he threw the cup as a sign of victory.
As soon as the 200,000-strong army moved, he could easily rescue himself.
With this trump card, Eight Kings feel more at ease.
The Eight Kings regained some momentum and asked Yan Qi fiercely: "What else do you want to say?"
Yan Qi looked around: "My lords, back then, the prince committed suicide in Hongcheng and died for his country. It was a touching story. Especially hearing the memories of the prince and concubine made people shed tears. Such a wise and powerful prince should be a model for our ministers in Dahua to learn from. Each of us should learn and study the prince's heroic spirit."
Sangun was the first to jump out: "I want to learn from my father."
"Okay, okay."
The old emperor laughed and cried: "Young man, you are ambitious and worthy of being my grandson."
Yan Qi added: "Cao Rui and Cao Chunqiu, the famous Prime Minister of the generation, did not hesitate to die in order to save the Crown Princess and preserve a piece of the Crown Prince's flesh and blood."
"And before he died, he also pointed out a clear path for the Crown Princess, that is, she cannot return north, she can only go south."
"It was this guidance that allowed the Crown Princess to save her life and her flesh and blood. So here's the question..."
Yan Qi changed the topic: "Mr. Cao Ge clearly pointed out that you can't go back north, you can only go south. So why can't you go back north? Why?"
The ministers were pounding in their hearts.
Can’t go back north?
That must be a danger.
Yan Qi asked the ministers to think for a while before raising the topic: "What does returning to the north mean? Everyone must know that returning to the north means returning to the territory of Dahua. The Crown Princess is the Crown Princess of Dahua, but she can't Return to Dahua safely? What is the reason why you cannot return to Dahua? Who can explain it? "
Hearing this, Bawang, Yang Ke, and Zhang Yongwu felt furious.
What Yan Qi said hit their spines hard.
As long as Yan Qi squeezes them hard, he will definitely squeeze them to the point of paralysis.
The ministers talked a lot.
"Could it be that if we return north, someone will assassinate the Crown Princess?"
"Could it be that there is a mole?"
"It is very possible that the prince once had an advantage in Hongcheng, but was suddenly defeated in the end. There must be a reason for this."
…
As soon as Yan Qi's question was raised, the ministers discussed it heatedly.
The Eighth Prince couldn't bear it anymore and hurriedly yelled: "The ministers are not allowed to make unreasonable opinions. Maybe the Crown Princess is afraid of encountering bandits."
Yan Qi laughed loudly: "During the war, there were 100,000 troops stationed in the Miao territory. Would such a large number of regular troops still be afraid of a few bandits? Besides, which bandit would dare to attack the princess? The Eight Kings , your reason is bullshit, even if you think on your knees, you can’t come up with such a purely stupid answer.”
The Eight Kings angrily scolded and blurted out: "If it's not a bandit, what else could it be? Could it be the military?"
"well said."
Yan Qi snapped his fingers: "What the Eighth Prince said is right. It's a prophecy. It makes sense to say that the military assassinated the Crown Princess."
When the ministers heard this, they looked at me and I looked at you.
No one dared to discuss it.
They all aimed their eyes at Zhang Yongwu.
Because Zhang Yongwu is the boss of the Southern Expedition Army.
At that time, all the southern expedition troops listened to Zhang Yongwu.
Zhang Yongwu trembled with fright and jumped out quickly: "Yan Qi, shut up. You are not allowed to talk nonsense. How could the military assassinate the princess? If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will take part in your report." "
Yan Qi smiled and looked at Zhang Yongwu: "During the Southern Expedition, you were the general, right?"
Zhang Yongwu straightened his back: "Yes, it's me. What...what's wrong? You said that the military assassinated the crown princess, which is the same as saying that I assassinated the crown princess? This is simply unreasonable and unreasonable."
"How could I assassinate the Crown Princess? I am a general of Dahua, not General Annan. My mission is to protect the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."
"Yan Qi, you must respect yourself and never slander me. I am the general who governs the country, and I have done meritorious service to Dahua."
Yan Qi chuckled: "General Zhang is so anxious to stand up and prove his innocence? Okay, okay, if you don't understand why, let's have a good fight in this hall."
