Ji Jinghuo opened his eyes and looked at Wang Xu and Yang Han, and found that both of them were nodding slightly, so he no longer hesitated, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, the Winter Official Mansion will be under the direct jurisdiction of my king, but there is one point, no one can mention the discussion of the Five-Day Dynasty again." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Yan Shu's expression became excited, his lips opened and he was about to speak, but he heard the Son of Heaven say loudly: "Okay, it's decided, the five-day court discussion, no one has to mention it again." ”

After Ji Yan finished speaking, he looked at Wang Xu again: "Has Situ already assigned Beishi to the internal affairs supervisor?" ”

Wang Xu nodded and said, "The old minister has completed the settlement with the internal affairs supervisor yesterday. ”

"Good." Ji Yan nodded slightly, and continued: "If the local government can come up with 100,000 yuan now, this king promises that in the future, all the construction of the winter official mansion will be self-sufficient, and he will never trouble Situ again." What do you think? ”

Wang Xu was obviously stunned, he couldn't have imagined that the Son of Heaven would have such a proposal. You know, since ancient times, construction has been the most expensive, and most of the goods of each country will be thrown into it. 100,000 yuan, maybe not enough to build a palace, just use this money in exchange for all future construction without worrying about the local government, this is simply a blessing from heaven! Could it be that the Son of Heaven has a broken head?

"Is my king true?"

"Naturally, take it seriously, a gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase! 100,000 yuan, don't bother the local government in the future, doesn't Situ agree? ”

"Good!" Wang Xu nodded and said, "It's just that the treasury doesn't have so much cash for the time being, and it will take time to raise it." ”

"This king will give you ten days, and after ten days, you will hand over 100,000 yuan to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Wang Xu groaned for a while and simply agreed: "No! ”

"Okay, after everything is over, Taiwei, Situ and Sikou, the three of you can go."

Ji Jing and the other three couldn't help but be stunned for a while, when did this young man become so neat and tidy?

"What, the three of you are still in trouble?" Ji Yan's eyes widened.

The three of them stood up, bowed and said, "Wait for the resignation!" And they went out of the temple in turn.

The four people left behind looked at each other, Xia Xun turned even bluer, he just stood on Wang Xu's side, but he didn't expect them to abandon them like abandonment, now that it is in the hands of the Son of Heaven, how can there be good fruits to eat? It's really unrealistic to think about it, so he quickly walked out of the desk and came to the hall, knelt down and said: "Qi my king, the old minister just seconded the king to continue, it is really a crime that deserves death, but please punish my king." ”

Ji Yan's cold expression softened, stretched out his hand to help him, and said with a smile: "Get up, Xia Qing doesn't have to panic, this king is not a person with a small belly, as long as you are honest in the future, this king will never pursue all the past." ”

The pleasant face of the Son of Heaven made Xia Xun even more panicked, and he was in a cold sweat, but he knew many stories about the monarch hiding a knife in his smile, and the more he laughed, the more ruthless he stabbed. Hurriedly crawled to the ground and said: "Wei Chen abstained from the first thing, there is indeed a personal selfishness in it, after all, Wang Xu has recommended the minister; But the opposition to the second thing is definitely not selfish, but for the sake of my king! ”

"Oh?" Ji Yan became interested in his statement: "You oppose this king, but you say that you are thinking about this king, what is the reason?" ”

Xia Xun raised his sleeves and wiped the sweat on his forehead, and glanced at Yan Shu and a few others, with a look of hesitation.

Seeing this situation, Ji Yan's heart moved, and he said in a deep voice: "Xia Qing, sit back, if you have anything to say, you will talk about it slowly later." ”

"No!" Xia Xun stood up and sat back tremblingly.

Yan Shu held back his words in his heart, but he couldn't find a chance to say it, so he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Qi my king, the old minister is really puzzled by my king's move to give up the reign of the emperor, isn't this giving up the authority of the Son of Heaven?" ”

Ding Tong and Ji Yong nodded and looked at Ji Yan at the same time.

Seeing this, Ji Yan smiled and said, "It seems that everyone is very confused about this king's move. Okay, this king will ask you a question first, if we continue to insist on restarting the five-day dynasty, will it really be possible? ”

Yan Shu and the other three thought about the situation just now, and they all shook their heads slowly and gloomily.

Ji Yan continued: "Yes, no! Obviously, Wang Xu, Yang Han and Ji Jing have already formed an alliance, and nearly half of the seven people have already taken up nearly half of the seats, if one more Sikong is added, it will be more than half, and this king's proposal cannot be passed at all. ”

Yan Shu thought about it for a while, and said unwillingly: "Even if it doesn't work out today, because it is a three-on-three situation, it can be left for discussion later!" My king still has a chance. ”

Ji Yan shook his head and said, "In the future, which day will it be?" This king doesn't have that much time. And even if you wait until that day, will you be able to pass? Still can't be sure! Rather than spending time waiting for an unknown situation, it is better to cut through the mess quickly and simply let them stumble. This king's method is actually a helpless move to survive in death and win in defeat, but he really got some money. You see, didn't Sikong, who was originally with them, come to our side? In addition, there will be 100,000 yuan to the Ministry of Internal Affairs immediately, and the construction work of the Winter Government Mansion will not be worried about running out of money in recent times. ”

"100,000 dollars may not seem like a small amount, but there will be a time when it runs out." Yan Shu frowned and said, "If there is still construction at that time, what will my king do to deal with it?" ”

Ji Yan said with a smile: "The old lady doesn't have to worry, as long as he can withstand it for three months, this king will definitely be able to conjure up a lot of coins." ”

Seeing that the four of them showed suspicious expressions, Ji Yan continued: "Okay guys, let's not think about anything, although it seems to be a bad game today, it is actually a good thing, at least, the situation has become clear." Before, who of you knew that these three men had formed an alliance? Who knew that the king's uncle actually turned his elbow outward? If he suddenly strikes at a critical moment, it will be the most terrifying and deadly. ”

Yan Shu said worriedly: "What if the situation is clear? One of them controls the six armies of the Son of Heaven, the other controls the land subjects, finance and taxes, and the other controls the prison, and there is a large group of various officials under his command. These three people are hugging together, and it is a huge force that is difficult to match in Luoyang, and we are afraid that we will not be able to deal with it! ”

Ji Yan nodded and said, "The situation is indeed grim. There is only one question for this king now: are you really willing to go with this king? ”

Yan Shu said without hesitation: "The heart of the old minister will always be on my king's side. ”

Ding Tong also arched his hand and said: "The old man has long been tied to my king, and he has no two hearts. ”

Ji Yong followed closely: "The old man is no problem, he will always support my king." ”

Xia Xun now has no way to retreat, and said angrily: "Weichen is willing to go to the soup for my king, and he will not die." ”

After the four of them finished speaking, they all came to the center of the hall and bowed down solemnly: "The ministers are willing to go to the soup for my king, and they will not die." ”

Ji Yan was overjoyed, got up and stepped down from the throne, and helped the four of them up one by one: "This king has four Aiqing to help, why not be afraid of a few clowns who jump off the beam!" Let's all go back and sit down, and let's sum it up. ”

Everyone sat down in turn, and Ji Yan said: "Now, let's first analyze the strength of the two sides and see how big the gap is." ”

Yan Shufa asked, "What does my king's so-called strength refer to?" ”

"Regardless of the rest, just talk about the troops."

The four old ministers looked at each other, and they all showed a look of horror, is the Son of Heaven planning to solve the problem by force? That's not going to happen!

"A few Aiqing don't need to panic. Let's study the strength of the two sides, it does not mean that we have to fight, but only to know ourselves and know the other side, so that we can deal with it properly. Ji Yan said: "First of all, they have the six armies of the Son of Heaven in hand, which should be about six thousand people; Secondly, Ji Jing has a group of officials under him; In addition, they each have a lot of private soldiers, do you know the exact number? ”

Yan said: "There are about 800 officials under Ji Jing; Wang Xu's local official mansion has about a thousand private soldiers, Yang Han's Xia official mansion is more, there should be close to two thousand people, and I really don't know how many private soldiers there are in Ji Jing's Qiu official mansion. ”

Ji Yong said: "The old man often goes to Ji Jing's house to walk around, if it is not bad, it should be about two thousand." ”

Ji Yan nodded and said, "In this way, the total number of troops they can use is about 12,000. So what about our side? How many private soldiers do you have in each of your houses? ”

Yan Shu shook his head and said: "Lao Chen has always been bad at raising private soldiers, and now there are only nearly five hundred people. ”

Ding Tong: "There are nearly 1,000 private soldiers in the old minister's mansion. ”

Ji Yong: "The old minister has two thousand three. ”

Xia Xun shook his head: "The Weichen Mansion has never raised private soldiers. ”

"Counting it this way, there are about three thousand private soldiers in total. After Wei Yan arrives with his team, there should be a thousand forbidden troops, a total of four thousand and eight troops. In comparison, there is indeed a big gap! ”

Ji Yan looked at a few people and found that they were all pale, so he said: "Although their troops seem to be relatively large, in fact, in addition to the private soldiers they raise themselves can be completely commanded, the six armies of the Son of Heaven and the officials are still nominally national after all, although they have installed many cronies, but they may not be so obedient and willing to follow them." If put to good use, these teams can even help us. ”

"So, the gap between the two of us is definitely not as big as it seems, you don't have to worry about it at all."

Since King Wu established the Zhou State, the six armies of the Son of Heaven have always been the sword in the hands of the Son of Heaven, and now although they are controlled by Yang Han's many cronies, if they really have a conflict with the Son of Heaven, they will become rebels, and many soldiers or generals will definitely not be willing to bear this name. Thinking of this, Yan Shu and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded in agreement with the statement of the Son of Heaven.

"Otherwise, let's gather all the private soldiers and hand them over to my king, and train with the forbidden army." Yan Rate suggested.

Ji Yong bowed his hand and said, "The old minister is willing to hand over the private soldiers to my king." ”

Ding Tong also said: "The old minister has no opinion. ”

Ji Yan smiled and shook his head: "This king's training of the forbidden army is just a child's whim game in their eyes, and they won't be too vigilant." If you all give your private soldiers to Lone, the two sides will immediately be tense, and maybe when the fight will really start, I believe everyone doesn't want to see this scene. You can put your private soldiers in your own house with peace of mind, just do more training in secret, and prepare more weapons and equipment, this king has a thousand forbidden troops here, and there is no problem at all. ”

After the discussion, several people dispersed.

Xia Xun didn't leave, he approached Ji Yan and arched his hand: "Qi my king, Weichen just seconded Situ and opposed the return of the tiger talisman by Taiwei, it is really for the sake of my king!" ”

Ji Yan didn't speak, looked at him calmly, waiting for him to continue.
