274. Ye Taishi
After listening to Wei Ke's description, Ye Donglai understood the whole story.
Two hundred years ago, the Chiyan Empire borrowed the magic weapon of the Jiangxia Empire, and there was no return of the loan.
In the past two hundred years, of course, the Jiangxia Empire sent people to ask for the Yanyang Banner.
When Wei Ke's ancestor lent the Yanyang Banner, he signed an IOU with the Emperor of the Chiyan Empire at the same time, and this IOU can still be used as a voucher.
As long as the people of the Jiangxia Empire have an IOU, they can confidently ask for the magic weapon.
Of course, it is limited to "begging." β
After all, the other party doesn't pay it back.
There is an IOU, and the Chiyan Empire can't help but admit it, but people just don't pay it back for various reasons. The Jiangxi Empire suffered a lot of difficulties, and each time it returned in vain, and gradually gave up.
But one thing is certain, the IOU is still there, when the Jiangxia Empire sends an envoy to ask for the Yanyang Banner, the envoy will be able to see the Yanyang Banner.
You can see, that's enough.
Wei Ke described these as the identity of Ye Donglai who was most likely to come into contact with the Yanyang Banner.
"I will arrange a diplomatic civil official position for Ye Shangxian, and when the time comes, Ye Shangxian will visit the Chiyan Empire as an envoy with an IOU. The Red Flame Empire, on the surface, still has to have a face, and it must receive Ye Shangxian, and Ye Shangxian has a chance to see the Yanyang Banner. Waco added, "Of course, after seeing the Flame Sun Banner, they will still refuse to return it for various reasons and postpone it indefinitely." β
Ye Donglai thought for a moment and said, "I understand, co-authoring the Chiyan Empire is a scoundrel, right?"
Wei Ke smiled bitterly: "Actually, there is no way, after all, the weak eat the strong, we are not as good as others, what can we do if we are bullied? Every time the messenger goes to ask for the Yanyang flag, it is actually to fight for a face." And the Chiyan Empire let the envoy see the Yanyang Banner, didn't he deliberately slap his face? The things of our own family are regarded by others as the treasure of the town, which is really embarrassing. But after all these years, almost no one knows about it anymore. β
"In that case, then I'll go and ask for the Burning Sun Banner. Ye Donglai smiled faintly.
Either way, now he has a chance to come into contact with the Sun Banner. As for how to operate in the future, it can only be improvised.
Without the identity of the envoy of the Jiangxia Empire, Ye Donglai would not have had a chance to enter the palace of the Chiyan Empire.
Wei Ke saw that Ye Donglai had made up his mind, and said seriously: "Since Ye Shangxian is in a hurry, then I will arrange it, tomorrow, Ye Shangxian will be my Jiangxia Empire's adviser and envoy." Of course, the people in the court don't know the identity of the immortals, so when they take office, they may need Ye Shangxian's cooperation. β
"Yes. Ye Donglai nodded.
After that, Wei Ke arranged many beautiful palace maids for Ye Donglai, and he prepared them himself.
In general, he can do it with a few officials as an emperor, but Ye Shangxian's affairs, he must do it himself.
............
Early the next morning, in the court.
All the ministers gathered, and Wei Ke Wei Ke sat on the dragon chair, with the momentum of dominating the world.
However, today's Wei Ke's eyes fall on "Ye Xigo" in the queue of ministers from time to time......
"Do you have anything else to do?" Wei Ke Weike's voice echoed in the court.
"Your Majesty, it has been a complicated time for the major empires recently, do we really want to go to the Chiyan Empire now to ask for the Yanyang Banner?" an old minister stood up and said with an uneasy expression.
"The prime minister doesn't need to say much, I have made up my mind, that Yanyang Banner is the treasure of the Jiangxia Empire, and it is really unbearable to be occupied by the Chiyan Empire for two hundred years. "Emperor Wake's attitude is quite kind.
He also knew that what the prime minister said was true.
It stands to reason that this thing will definitely not come back, and if it can come back, it will not be delayed for more than two hundred years.
Now that the relationship between the various kingdoms is tense and complicated, the Jiangxia Empire suddenly went to the Yanyang Empire to ask for debts, which will definitely cause the Yanyang Empire to be dissatisfied, even if the Yanyang Banner is indeed lent out.
The Yanyang Empire is powerful, and if it makes a move that is unfavorable to the Jiangxia Empire, it will be a headache.
But Wei Ke knew very well in his heart that compared to the Chiyan Empire, it was still that mysterious organization that was more terrifying.
Serving Ye Shangxian is much more important than serving the Chiyan Empire. In case Ye Shangxian is happy, the organization he belongs to gives the Jiangxia Empire some help, maybe it can suppress the Chiyan Empire.
"Alas. Seeing that the emperor had already decided, the prime minister sighed uncomfortably and did not persuade any more.
"This time to ask for the Yanyang Banner, 'Master Ye' will personally send the Red Flame Empire, and many other elite soldiers will cooperate. I have already selected the specific personnel, and I can leave at noon today. Emperor Waco ordered again.
This news surprised all the civil and military officials.
Just now, His Majesty raised the matter of asking for the Flame Sun Banner, and they didn't expect it to move so quickly.
Is it worth the effort to carry out the plan?
Everyone actually knows very well that the so-called "asking for the Yanyang flag" is to go to a place and find face.
In the past two hundred years, how many times has my kingdom asked for it, and this time it must have been in vain. But every once in a while, ten or eight years, the Jiangxia Empire still has to send someone to ask for it.
Why?
Because if the Jiangxia Empire itself doesn't mention it, it will be too easy to provoke.
You're not still your business, but we still have to ask for it. If we don't, the world might think we're cowardly.
ββThe mentality of the monarchs and ministers of the Jiangxia Empire is probably like this.
In fact, it is similar to borrowing money between two people, even if the debtor does not take the initiative to repay the money, the creditor will still ask for it......
It is precisely because of this that every time the Jiangxia Empire goes to "collect debts", it will not use too much manpower.
If you go to one person in vain, or go to a group of people in vain, it's better to go to a few.
But this time, the emperor clearly used a lot of soldiers......
The courtiers couldn't figure it out, but they didn't dare to disobey the king's order, but they looked at Ye Donglai's gaze and became not very friendly.
"Nothing to do, retreat. With a chant from the eunuch, the morning dynasty ended.
The hundred officials retreated, and some light snorts came into Ye Donglai's ears.
"This time, His Majesty suddenly proposed this move, and eighty percent of it was related to Master Ye. β
"Master Ye, tsk, don't say it, it's good for everyone to know it......"
"But I'm still wondering, how can I use so many people? Could it be that Your Majesty really intends to successfully recover the Yanyang Banner this time?"
"How is it possible! If you don't come back, it's been two hundred years......
"Could it be that Master Ye wants to have fun?"
Many officials left in twos and threes, discussing in private.
In their opinion, His Majesty suddenly made an unexpected decision and appointed Ye Taishi as the leader, which must have been requested and promoted by Ye Taishi.
It's ridiculous and nonsense for Master Ye to do this!
