"Okay, I'll write these down, and threaten that old man at the same time, so that he won't be so careless about his work every day."

The Grand Tutor wrote with great enthusiasm, and it was obvious that there was some personal emotion in his writing.

"As for the selection of military attachés to Victoria, we can just pick them from the leaders of the Young Turks."

"Won't it cause a backlash if we kick this group of people out of the core group so directly?"

"You can ask the general to paint a rosy picture for his subordinates - after we find the orphan of Zhu Rong's family, we will know who dared to surround and kill the retainers of the Great Yan Emperor, and then find the forces that dared to provoke the Great Yan."

Qiao Yelan spoke casually.

"If the master is humiliated and the minister dies, and if we find the orphan of Zhu Rong's family, Da Yan will have an excuse for war. After all, everyone still has dignity. No one will ignore basic ethics and morality for the sake of war, right?"

"Use this excuse to suppress the young soldiers who are instigated. As for the young officers, if they are willing to go, then go. If they are not willing to go, then expose them and say they are businessmen disguised as officers, and send them to sit on the bench."

The master nodded.

This is a tactic often used by their civil service group - it is only natural for him to write it and hand it over to the general.

"But you, my old friend, are not very honest. It seems that the problem is that you are both a good person and a bad guy. He is embarrassed to play the bad guy, so he asks you to play the bad guy, and then he only takes the benefits."

"Humph, you're still testing me."

The old man's face didn't look good either. After all, being manipulated like this would make even a clay man angry, not to mention that everyone was doing it for Da Yan - why do you order me around, and why do I have to silently endure your temptations of me?

The countermeasures that Qiao Yelan mentioned were exactly what he wanted.

You want me to take the blame, but you want to eat the ready-made ones?

dream!

Chapter 141: Da Yanzheng vs. Superman

"Let me see, why is there still a problem? Isn't it said that three times is the limit? Doesn't the Grand Marshal intend to squeeze out all your value at once and make you offend all the people you are going to offend in the next few decades at once?"

Qiao Yelan said jokingly with a smile while turning his gaze to the last piece of letter paper in his hand.

[Qiao Yelan has now returned to the capital and has repeatedly entered the palace to meet His Majesty, which will make it increasingly difficult to advance our plan - if His Majesty's trust in Qiao Yelan cannot be shaken, this plan will be difficult to achieve.]

[Now Qiao Yelan is nominally the Minister of Rites, and even the Minister of the Honglu Temple, and is under your name - so we need you to find a way to get Qiao Yelan away from the capital for a while, so that we can prepare some materials to change His Majesty's attitude towards Qiao Yelan, and not let him continue to deceive His Majesty.]

"Oh, and there's also my business - I really want you to offend everyone this time."

But I have already offended everyone.

The Emperor has been unhappy with the Grand Tutor for a long time. The Grand Marshal's first question was to make the Grand Tutor offend the hot-blooded people in the martial arts world, and the second question was to make the Grand Tutor offend the entire military system - now the third question is more direct, and it is to make the Grand Tutor offend Qiao Yelan as well.

After completing these three tasks, the Grand Tutor would be able to gain the trust of the Grand Commandant - but the problem was that if he completed these three tasks according to the Grand Commandant's plan, he would be cut off from the world.

Good fellow, after the Grand Tutor has made enemies from all sides, the Grand Marshal will jump out and say to him that only I trust you and I understand you...

What kind of textbook-level CPU tricks are these? Are you two old guys capable of such tricks?

Qiao Yelan looked at the tutor teasingly and handed over the paper in his hand.

"What are you going to do?"

"What the hell, if he asks me a question, I'll help him solve it!"

The old man cursed loudly.

"Damn it, handling two problems for him is already giving him face, what else do you want me to do?"

"Don't be impatient, don't be impatient. I know you are in a hurry, but please don't be impatient - I don't need you to show your loyalty, because I only believe in benefits."

Qiao Yelan tried to comfort the already somewhat exasperated Master Tutor.

"Let me think about it, let me think about it...how should I let you arrange this matter..."

There was a strange look on the old man's face.

The other party's sincerity is so touching - if you don't put yourself in the general's perspective.

Qiao Yelan was seriously helping the Grand Tutor think about how to act as if he was standing on the side of the Grand Marshal and opposing Qiao Yelan.

"I mean it. I don't have to fulfill every condition he gives me."

"How can that be possible? The general has always felt that you were too close to me. Isn't this a token of allegiance? This is your best and last chance to gain his trust."

However, Qiao Yelan had no intention of giving up and was determined to have the Grand Tutor kick him out of the Dayan court.

"Oh, I got it. I remember that the Empress of Leitania will soon be on the throne for the first anniversary. It just so happens that you, an old fellow acting as the Minister of Rites, can directly submit a memorial to the Emperor, saying that Da Yan needs to be on good terms with Leitania. Why not let me, the Junior Secretary of the Honglu Temple, lead a team to visit Trilintelme and present congratulatory messages to the two empresses?"

"Hmm? Are you really going to leave the capital at this time?"

The Master was somewhat surprised.

"Of course I have to leave. In Da Yan, the matter of Longmen Coin has been almost completed. I originally planned to resign from His Majesty and go home to take care of my own business. When Longmen Coin is issued, I need to travel between countries. It is not good to still hold the title of Minister of Da Yan at this time."

Qiao Yelan nodded.

Although he was still only a third-rank official at that time, after discovering the attitude of the general, he realized that he was really at the center of the storm.

This is not good. Qiao Yelan never likes to be the one who is in the spotlight - because people will see him at a glance.

"To retreat in order to advance? When His Majesty trusts you the most, retreating at the height of your career may seem like giving up your own future, but this is actually the only way, a way to allow our Majesty, who is so suspicious that it makes people tremble with fear, to retain his trust in you."

The Grand Tutor saw through Qiao Yelan’s plan at a glance.

Your grace is like running water, it flows by without turning back.

What's more, the Taiwei has already regarded Qiao Yelan as a thorn in his side, and will spare no effort to try to alienate the Taiwei and Qiao Yelan.

Although the Grand Marshal himself was not good at politics, there was definitely no shortage of such people on his side - not to mention others, Duke Ningguo was one of the best.

Therefore, they will soon discover that Cai Yan can still be used, and even Chen Fan can be used as a force to his advantage.

Don’t think that Cai Yan and Chen Fan are being respectful to Qiao Yelan now - they are all thousand-year-old foxes, why play Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio?

How could Prime Minister Cai, an old minister in the court who would be proud when he won but never discouraged when he lost, really submit to someone like Qiao Yelan?

Has he ever been so submissive to the emperor?

Now, most of the people who are performing dialogues in front of the emperor are Qiao Yelan, Chen Fan and Cai Yan. Among them, the two old men follow the lead of the young man Qiao Yelan, and they all praise Minister Qiao for his great talent - does this look normal?

Of course it’s not normal - to put it bluntly, it’s just to flatter Qiao Yelan.

Why was Cai Yan regarded as a thorn in the emperor's side?

Because he made all the officials in the court support himself, rather than His Majesty's opinion, and then used this support to implement his own plans.

What if all the officials in the court support Qiao Yelan's opinion instead of your Majesty's opinion -

Then what kind of image will Qiao Yelan become in the eyes of Your Majesty?

In the court, loyalty and treachery are just a matter of the emperor's thoughts.

Why did Chen Fan propose such an unrealistic plan as "monetary hegemony" to His Majesty when he knew that Qiao Yelan was only planning to issue a currency?

Using the window opening principle to pave the way for Qiao Yelan's plan - this is only part of his plan.

The other part was to make the emperor understand that, in fact, Chen Fan and Qiao Yelan were not the same kind of people, and they had never had any communication in private.

Cai Yan seized on this point, and while showing opposition to Chen Fan, he also stood on the side of Qiao Yelan's plan and fully supported it.

In official circles, opposition and taking sides have never been the same thing.

The purpose of his doing so was to praise Qiao Yelan and show that he supported Qiao Yelan in every way - what's more, Qiao Yelan's opinion was correct in the first place, and no matter who it was, no one could find fault with him by doing this.

And precisely because Qiao Yelan’s opinion was correct, if Cai Yan supported Qiao Yelan, how could all the officials in the court not support Qiao Yelan?

Cai Yan can no longer have all the power in the government, but he can make Qiao Yelan look like he can do it.

Not to mention that Chen Fan came up with a perfect plan - an unrealistic plan, but one that was very much to the emperor's liking.

This means the disagreement between the emperor and Qiao Yelan.

This time, because Qiao Yelan's influence from wiping out Cai's party was still there, and the emperor's favor for Qiao Yelan had just reached its peak, the emperor was still able to think rationally, so he readily supported Qiao Yelan's Longmen Coin plan.

What about next time?

Next time, if the emperor’s plan once again differs from Qiao Yelan’s opinion, and Cai Yan still leads his ministers to support Qiao Yelan?

Perhaps the emperor will bow his head again - what about the third time?

At that time, will the emperor think with reason or with power?

What's more, for three consecutive times, Qiao Yelan's opinions were supported in the court, and he used this support to oppose the emperor.

Does it look very different from the Cai Yan of the past?

Cai Yan is full of confidence that the situation will continue in this way - and this confidence comes from Qiao Yelan's ability.

Because he believed that the suggestions put forward by Qiao Yelan must be good.

But for the emperor, good opinions may not necessarily satisfy him.

Why is it that although Qiao Yelan clearly had so many things to do in Dayan, he only mentioned many of them to the Grand Tutor so that the Grand Tutor could prepare a little, but he never put any proposals other than the Longmen Coin plan on the emperor's desk?

Because he also understood Cai Yan's operations, and he could understand what the emperor would do in the end.

Overt schemes have never been Qiao Yelan’s specialty.

Therefore, Qiao Yelan would rather give up showing his face in front of the emperor and keep his position in the heart of the tutor - because some things are destined to be lost, and settling for the second best is the best solution.

The civil service group headed by Cai Yan and the military group headed by the Grand Commandant are now staring at Qiao Yelan.

This is called the cusp of the storm.

Qiao Yelan never liked such a position, but there was no other way. He had to return to the capital of Dayan and sweep away the Cai Party with lightning speed. Only in this way could he take advantage of this opportunity and the emperor's trust to implement the Longmen Coin Plan.

He had to be so high-profile in order to complete this remedial plan—

This remedial plan was necessary due to Ursus' betrayal.

That's why Qiao Yelan hates betrayal so much.

Dayan had to pay off his debt for six whole years because of Wei Yanwu's illness, but hasn't Qiao Yelan also been paying off his debt until now because of Vladimir's betrayal?

The Longmen Coin project, which was supposed to be carried out six years ago, has finally been implemented today. Even Qiao Yelan himself had to step to the front and become the brightest figure in the court of Dayan.

So at this time, Qiao Yelan was really considering how to end safely.

Of course, Qiao Yelan never minds using every action he takes to gain the greatest benefit for himself.

Just as the Taifu said, if he had resigned at this time, all he could have gotten was the gradually outdated "Emperor's trust". But now, the Taiwei took the initiative to offer himself, which would allow him to get one more piece of [the Taiwei's trust in the Taifu].

Well, can we use this matter to squeeze out some more benefits from Prime Minister Cai?

As he thought about it, Qiao Yelan couldn't help but go off topic.

“So I wrote it like this?”

The words of the Grand Tutor interrupted Qiao Yelan’s thoughts.

"Well, let's write it this way. You've kicked the ball back for the first two questions, and let the general handle it himself. This seems a bit opportunistic, and the general will not be satisfied with this answer - but you handling the third matter yourself is a good token of your loyalty."

Qiao Yelan nodded.

The Grand Tutor continued to write furiously.

"That's it, that's all?"

"That's all. But I think after I send these three methods back, there will be another reply. We'll talk about it then."

"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll be going back. Oh, by the way, let your candle holder relax a little. I've called my students back."

The old man's pen shook and a big drop of ink fell on the paper.

It’s not that his mood has become so bad - but what Qiao Yelan said is really scary.

He has a long criminal record.

After he said this the last time, the entire East Country delegation was killed, and then Da Yan fell uncontrollably into a deep pit.

I just crawled out of the pit, why are you doing this again?

"This is an accident. When I discovered the group that was doing this behind my back, I thought you were one of them. That's why I chose to go to Simuitai and expose this matter in front of you, hoping to alert the enemy."

Qiao Yelan waved his hand.

"So in order to prepare some backup plans, I called [Ji] back. If you are really doing something behind my back, I am going to let [Ji] take action and release [Wang] from your Si Sui Tai. I will give you a lot of strength so that you won't have time to play tricks on me again."

The old man's face turned blue and red, and his skin twitched constantly.

Sometimes, lies don't hurt people, but the truth is the sharpest knife.
