The gaze was naturally Qiu Yan's. I don't know when, Qiu Yan's gaze fell on Xu Yingyi. Seeing this, Xu Yingyi felt a little panicked, as if all his thoughts had been seen through. Same.

But after all, he had been a prime minister for several years, and he soon calmed down the strangeness, and looked away again, but he could not help but mutter in his heart: "This Qiu Yan practiced for a while in the past, even if his cultivation was ruined, I don't think so. There are still some evil methods, so you have to be careful. Besides, this person is a huge threat to many of my aristocratic families and cannot be recruited. Now the arrow is on the string and I have to take action! "

Thinking like this, he gradually gained confidence.

"Besides, according to the intention of the Tiangang Disha thieves, their so-called acceptance of the recruitment is still a temporary measure. It can be heard from the words of the envoy that he attributed the current unfavorable situation to Qiu Yan. If Qiu Yan was the former Yan, maybe in the past, he could have escaped with his bravery even if he was in danger, but now that his cultivation level is not there, everyone can control it. No, I heard that this person has several subordinates with high cultivation level. Waiting for a master..."

Thinking like this, Xu Yingyi's attention turned to thinking about how to move Qiu Yan's helpers away to reduce variables.

In this kind of thing, it is always better to calculate too much than to calculate too little. The more you calculate about other people's affairs, the more careful you have to think about it to avoid making mistakes.

But at this moment, the emperor on the dragon throne spoke: "Qiu Qing, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

The emperor asked his ministers for advice in the morning meeting at the Jinluan Palace, which was an act of trust. However, there was not much meaning in the words of inquiry. In fact, it was just to give Qiu Yan a step to get him to agree.

Regarding the emperor's thoughts, Qiu Yan understood in his heart that he was not very dissatisfied. After all, he was a dying person. The consideration of many things would not be based on his own temperament, but would take into account the impact after his death.

However, Qiu Yan would not hand over the leadership of these matters easily. What's more, the surprise attack by Xu Ying and others on the court meeting seemed sudden to others, but it was not a secret to Qiu Yan. Because neither Xu Yingyi's interest group nor the rebels in Qilu had any secrets to him.

After thinking for a while, Qiu Yan had already figured out how to deal with this incident.

"The emperor is dying soon. He originally suppressed me not because he had any grudges, but because he wanted to hand over the favor of promoting me to the prince. Apart from this, the emperor has placed great trust in me over the years. , and even provided many conveniences. In terms of power, I am not inferior to the Prime Minister at all. I just lack a form. This human nature pays attention to a person who repays kindness and revenge. Since the emperor treats me as a scholar of the country, then in the future I will be justified. Of course, to be in power, we must give him a prosperous and peaceful life. If this is the case, then these little guys who are jumping around are of no value. "

These thoughts flashed through his mind rapidly. Qiu Yan couldn't help but feel a little disgust when he looked at Xu Yingyi and others.

"The way of being an official is inevitably due to intrigues. I have kept these people in these years, and I have experienced it. From now on, they, and the families behind them, should also stop. It's time to beat them."

After thinking about this, Qiu Yan took a step forward, raised his hands and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, it is a good thing that the rebel army is willing to accept the recruitment, so as to avoid additional killings after the battle between the two armies. Although these people have rebelled, there are not many people in their stronghold. "Young people are the common people who have been deceived by rhetoric. Once the war breaks out, it is not the rebel leaders who are killed or injured, but the common people. Now that the thieves are willing to accept the recruitment, it can be regarded as a sign of good deeds."

"What Qiu Qing said is true." When Li Kun heard this, he knew that Qiu Yan had agreed, so he put aside his worries, "Then let..." But halfway through the words, Li Kun noticed Qiu Yan's expression and knew Before he finished speaking, he took the initiative to stop talking and asked, "Qiu Qing already has an idea?"

Qiu heard the words and said: "The military is a major event for the country. It costs tens of millions of grain and grass, and thousands of vehicles, not to mention the military expenses and equipment consumed during the period. It consumes silver every moment! Therefore, there are some things that the army is delaying." You can afford it, but my officers and soldiers can’t afford it?”

"Qiu Qing, what you mean is that you suspect that the rebel army's promise to recruit people was deceptive and that they wanted to delay time?" Li Kun asked this while his eyes swept over Xu Yingyi's body.

From his point of view, it can be said that he is well aware of the struggle between the factions in the DPRK, but only by balancing all parties can the value of the emperor be shown, so naturally he will not say anything about it.

To put it bluntly, the emperor himself is the expression of the rules of the game. He must rely on the various forces involved in the court game to restrain each other in order to gain the initiative.

Faced with the emperor's rhetorical question, Qiu Yan did not shy away and simply said: "This matter involves military affairs, so we must not act carelessly. I heard that in the middle of the previous dynasty, a postman rebelled and corrupted half of the world. But at first he had only 10,000 soldiers and less than three days of food. He only patrolled the pass for a while. After being surrounded and suppressed by officers and soldiers, he said he wanted to accept recruitment and got a small official..."

Hearing what he said, many ministers in the court looked surprised. This matter was recorded in official history. They all knew about it and understood the reason.

"I see, this simple sentence can break the situation." Meng Qingbin was a little worried at first, but after hearing this, he remembered that Qiu Yan usually had no plans, and he felt relieved again.

Nowadays, he, the banner figure of the neutral faction, has an increasingly close relationship with Qiu Yan, half of which is due to personal relationship, and the other half of which is because of some of Qiu Yan's actions and ideas, which are conducive to the business expansion of these emerging families.

Many things in the court ultimately depend on the interests of each faction.

On the other side, Qiu Yan continued: "The leader of the thieves has lived in peace for a long time. Although he is an official, he is not as good as being the leader of an army. In addition, it is difficult to get used to being controlled by others, so it didn't take long for him to raise the flag of rebellion again. , so repeatedly, but when they were defeated, they took the initiative to surrender. However, the minister in charge of the northwest military affairs at that time fell into the trap repeatedly. The reason was that there was not much food and grass in the dynasty, and the previous dynasty used troops from all directions, and the border was unstable. , we cannot waste our priority troops in the northwest corner."

Hearing this, Li Kun finally heard some clues: "Is Qiu Qing worried that this Tiangang evil thief will raise his flag again because he is no longer used to it? Or is he simply trying to delay time? And the reason why the previous dynasty easily accepted that The reason why the rebel army surrendered was because our troops were limited and the country was exhausted. But now our great Rui army has many generals, and it is the victorious army with a powerful momentum. It is really not appropriate to compromise with the rebel soldiers at this time, but what Xu Qing said makes sense. Wouldn't it be a pity if the thief really wants to surrender? "

The emperor's words seemed to be worrying about gains and losses, but Qiu Yan knew that this was because Li Kun was worried about his own success in the future, so he wanted to use this matter to put a shackles on his reputation. In fact, Qiu Yan had previously There are many hints in his words, and the point is that this person will feel uncomfortable after being recruited——

Even if he sincerely submits, the thieves and gangsters have no taboos when they are rebels and can make their own decisions in everything. However, once they are recruited, they must be suppressed by the court's precepts and controlled by others. In addition, coupled with their past background, it is inevitable Being excluded and discriminated against.

If it were the time when the dynasty was founded, it would have been fine. After surrendering, he could be a pioneer. However, now that the structure of the Darui court is complete, various values ​​​​have long been stable, and they are naturally incompatible with these surrendered thieves.

Regardless of whether Li Kun heard the meaning or not, he obviously decided to let Qiu Yan go through this.

However, Xu Yingyi, who had succeeded in his plan, now looked a little unhappy, because Qiu Yan's words turned the situation around. His words did not support the recruitment, which was equivalent to taking an insurance policy in advance. Even if the incident happened later, he would have excuses.

Of course, as long as they arrange it properly, Xu Yingyi and others can still break this advantage and let Qiu Yan take responsibility. What really worries him is the emperor's previous sentence, "What Xu Qing said makes sense." He said that he was immediately involved in the recruitment process, and he was implicitly in the proposed position. They would not be able to escape the involvement of the thieves again in the future.

"I don't know if the emperor said this unintentionally or on purpose." Thinking this in his heart, Xu Yingyi actually already had the answer. He knew that the emperor would probably still want to find a balance, use the method of checks and balances, and give him to the emperor after his death. Qiu Yan and himself both put tight restraints on them.

Qiu Yan understands all this. In fact, although he has stripped off his cultivation, he has cultivated his official energy over the years, tastes cause and effect and luck, and is particularly sensitive to changes in luck. He can do it every time he goes to court. Noticed the rise and fall of luck in the palace.

The fate of the various ministers in the Jinluan Palace affects many yamen, the country, the country, and hundreds of millions of people. Qiu Yan's experience of humanity is a kind of baptism and tempering.

Just now, it was about oneself, and this feeling was even stronger. In a few words between Xu Yingyi and the emperor, the changes in luck in this palace could be said to be earth-shaking and have far-reaching influence.

But in this change, Qiu Yan decided to add fuel to the fire, so he took out two folds from his arms, stepped forward and said, "I have my own plan to tell you about recruiting the thieves from Anqilu." After that, He handed over one of the memorials.

When the civil and military officials in the palace saw this scene, they were stunned for a moment, and then all of them were in an uproar.

Among them, the most surprised ones were Xu Yingyi, Cai Que and others. These two prime ministers didn't care about their image. They each had their eyes wide open, with expressions on their faces that they had seen a ghost.

There is no other reason...

"How come Qiu Yan has already prepared a package for recruitment? Could it be that he had anticipated the current situation?"

At this thought, Xu Yingyi and Cai Que looked at each other, seeing shock and worry in each other's eyes, and then they felt something bad in their hearts. r1152
