Qiao Yelan asked back.
"I...I really don't have any good solution, but this matter is absolutely not allowed. There is no room for negotiation!"
"That guy is not Ji. At least under your education and management, he is still well-behaved. But Wang is different! The disappearance of Jie back then was not just due to—"
The Taifu did not finish his words, because he knew there was another Sui Xiang outside at this time, so he not only lowered his voice, but also left half of his words unsaid.
"Wang has no feelings for Dayan. It's only because he, like Dayan, regards Sui as an enemy that we can live in peace for the time being. His style of doing things is completely different from that of others!"
"Once he is released, with the [Weapon Spirit Technique] he has mastered and the skilled cutting of his own soul, he can hide in any object and then possess other people, turning any unexpected person into his pawn at the critical moment!"
"Oh, are you talking about me?"
A smile that showed that everything was under control appeared on Qiao Yelan's face.
"But I don't need to use such a despicable trick as possession."
The tutor's voice suddenly stopped.
The smile on the man's face became gentler, but his voice was filled with unquestionable confidence.
The old man fell silent, but continued to stare at Qiao Yelan.
"You and I both know that this Si Sui Tai cannot hold Wang in. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come to me at the beginning of the year and asked me to help you play against Wang. You know very well that you are making preparations, and Wang is also making preparations."
"Since this is bound to happen sooner or later, why not let Wang go in advance while you and I are still sure? This way, at least his preparations are not complete. Otherwise, he would have been out long ago."
When the Grand Tutor heard what Qiao Yelan said, it made sense.
After all, one side was well prepared, while the other side was only half prepared, so naturally they had the advantage when the game started.
"And if we let him go now, we can also help the general cover up. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"
"But with Wang's means and abilities, doing this is like drinking poison to quench thirst - you said you'll be leaving Dayan soon, and without your intimidation, who knows what he'll do!"
Well, actually no - because the guy who was released was also counting on me to deal with you.
Qiao Yelan felt sympathy for the tutor in her heart for a second, but she still looked serious on the surface.
"I know, so am I bringing an undercover agent with me?"
Undercover?
The Master subconsciously looked outside the yard.
"You mean... Ji? He and Wang are brothers."
"Of course it's the performance. You don't have to worry about him being sidelined. You don't think I would train a student that I can't control, do you?"
Qiao Yelan looked like he had everything under control.
This time, the Grand Tutor really had nothing to refute—he really didn’t think that Qiao Yelan couldn’t control the results.
Although I don’t know what methods this guy relies on, Qiao Yelan’s words are indeed trustworthy.
Qiao Yelan also recalled the previous database at this time, and it did say that as long as he was nice to [Shu], his younger brother would not betray him, and even between brothers and sisters, he would choose him as his teacher without hesitation.
Very good, he likes male students - at least he really respects teachers.
As for his sister Shu, he would definitely try his best to meet her requirements, so that Ji would have nothing to complain about.
But why is there no record of this [黍] in the information?
She shouldn't be my student, right?

Chapter 143 My plan ≠ I am responsible
Qiao Yelan once said that he was best at persuading people.
The hesitation on the Taifu's face was obvious.
[Wang] will eventually escape one day, even though he is in charge now and even though the Simaitai has been carefully arranged by him, as long as [Wang] wants to leave, the Taifu dare not guarantee that he will be able to catch him.
Because it was not just [Wang], he also had the power of another age in his hands.
The reason why Qiao Yelan and Wang were allowed to make the deal before was because the Grand Tutor hoped to separate the two powers. Similarly, if the Sui Xiang could continue to be divided, the awakening of the Sui Beast could be further delayed.
But this beautiful dream was shattered by reality.
However, the Grand Tutor had not originally held high hopes for this. At least Qiao Yelan's deal allowed Wang An to stay in Simuitai for a few more decades in peace.
"You've said before that what Wang wants to deal with most is still Sui, and he knows very well that in order to defeat Sui, he must unite the power of Da Yan, so you don't have to treat him as a scourge - on the contrary, Wang is definitely a good fighting force that can be used."
The Taifu wanted to speak but stopped himself, and stopped talking but wanted to speak again.
That's you, Qiao Yelan. If someone else said this to him, he would have slapped him in the face to wake him up.
This is Simuitai, not a theatre.
"Will you help me?"
"I promised to use this matter to exchange a favor from you, so why not help you? I really want to keep the favor from Master Dayan."
Qiao Yelan smiled and spread out his hands.
"...Then explain it more carefully."
The old man folded his arms across his chest and stared at Qiao Yelan with full concentration.
"This is a chain-like overall concept - the most critical link is whether [Wang] can escape from Simuitai."
Qiao Yelan said seriously.
"Given the current situation, it is not a good idea for you to continue occupying the position of Minister of Rites, and this will not win the trust of both His Majesty and the Grand Marshal, so this position must be handed over - but how to hand it over without arousing suspicion from His Majesty or Cai Yan and Chen Fan is a statistical... ahem, artistic problem."
"If you want to achieve all the conditions, the simplest way is for Your Majesty to make this request, and then you can agree to it, and I will help you secretly - this way, all the above requirements can be met, and those old foxes in the court will not smell anything."
The old man's face twitched.
"If His Majesty wants to bring this up and the court doesn't doubt it, then I must have made a big mistake. What could be a bigger mistake than the Prime Minister escaping from the Ministry of Sui Tai?"
"Master Taifu has a keen eye."
"Stop talking nonsense and keep talking!"
"What else is there to say? Wang ran away, and His Majesty was furious, but he also knew your status and qualifications, so stripping him of his position as Minister of Rites is a price that both sides can accept. His Majesty will no longer be too wary of you, and you can devote yourself to the Si Sui Tai wholeheartedly, while the Grand Marshal can start to put the blame on Wang."
Don't ask, if you ask, it was the evil fragments of the Year Beast who did it.
It must have been planned by him! The executor must be [Shanhai Clan]!
"Once the matter of Wang's escape was made public, you were responsible and dealt with the problem, which were two different things - handing over the Ministry of Rites was not shirking responsibility, but expanding the Simuitai and developing institutions such as the Bingzhu People would show that you were handling the problem properly."
Of course, Qiao Yelan didn't simply want the Tutor to take the blame and suffer injustice - if you want someone to take the blame, you must give him benefits.
"As an emperor, what you want most is balance, but the two agencies that oversee the age are all in your hands. This is the way to death, so you have never dared to develop the Simuitai and the Ministry of Rites too much. It seems that you have united the forces together, but in fact you have restricted the upper limit of these two agencies."
"And if His Majesty controls the Ministry of Rites, he will definitely make the Ministry of Rites and the Simaitai competitive. At that time, once you propose that the Simaitai should be expanded, and use reasonable reasons, what will His Majesty do if he finds that he cannot deny it?"
The Master's expression changed slightly.
What else could be done?
That is, of course, to vigorously support the Ministry of Rites, and on the premise of ensuring that the Ministry of Rites and the Sima Tai do not conflict with each other, to give the Ministry of Rites the right and power to counter the Sima Tai.
Sometimes, appropriate splitting and mutual rolling can help the healthy development of forces.
The old man's mind was already moved.
Don’t worry about whether Qiao Yelan paid for the benefit or not, just say whether he got the benefit or not.
Qiao Yelan promised that he had a way to restrain [Wang] and could also arrange [Ji] to be an undercover agent beside him - at least this man has never broken his promise about what he said he could do.
If Wang does not oppose Dayan or harm Dayan's interests after escaping, then there is nothing wrong with letting him escape. He will just take the blame. Apart from that, it seems to be a hundred benefits with no harm.
"But after all, if I hand over the position of Minister of Rites, then His Majesty will definitely support someone who doesn't get along with me to take the position. If the cooperation between the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Suining turns into confrontation, then the competition will turn into meaningless internal friction."
This is the only remaining worry of the Master.
"Then why don't you just support someone who Your Majesty thinks has a conflict with you and put him in power?"
Qiao Yelan said lightly.
The veins on the back of the old man's hand bulged.
This is what he is most worried about -
Qiao Yelan has never had the slightest bit of awe towards anyone, anything, or any life.
"...You have a choice?"
"Didn't you suppress the matter in the archives a few days ago? Now you don't have to suppress it. Just expose it directly."
A word to awaken the dreamer.
"Minister Ning?"
The old man's voice contained a hint of surprise, but more of realization.
"Duke Ning has always been the most vocal royalist, but he has grown older and no longer speaks in the court. Even when the Cai Party was at its most rampant, Duke Ning never treated Cai Yan well, but instead stood up for His Majesty several times."
The group of Taiwei were just doing things secretly from the emperor, but when it comes to their loyalty to Dayan and the royal family, it can be said that no one in the whole country can match them.
Therefore, Duke Ningguo's attitude has not changed from beginning to end, and His Majesty still has some good feelings towards these people.
"More importantly, although Minister Ning is nominally your student and was promoted to Minister of Rites at a young age under your care, he has worked for you for several years since he took the position, but he has not gained any credit, let alone promotion."
Qiao Yelan pointed out a better "evidence".
The Grand Tutor and Qiao Yelan knew that this behavior was to protect the young man in the turbulent court, and at the same time to prevent him from standing out too much and being forced to take sides in the court, thus offending His Majesty the Emperor in advance.
But others don’t know.
Minister Ning was promoted to Minister of Rites at a young age, but he stayed in the position for several years without any advancement, and helped the Imperial Tutor with various tasks at the Ministry of Rites every day...
To outsiders, the Grand Tutor was just like most graduate school supervisors - he promoted the most capable person to teaching assistant, then blocked his graduation thesis and asked him to "intern" in his company...
If Minister Ning were released and made the Minister of Rites, wouldn't he be determined to kill the shameless mentor, the Grand Tutor?
"...Is this what you said before, to help secretly?"
The Grand Tutor glared at Qiao Yelan. How could this guy keep half and still keep the other half?
"I'm leaving a little surprise for you. A surprise is one that will make you happy if you ask about it."
The man's behavior, which was like a piece of meat on a rolling knife, almost made the tutor fly into a rage.
He just calmed himself down, then took out a bottle of quick-acting heart pills, poured out a pill and swallowed it.
"Hey, why haven't I seen you eat this before?"
"Well, I've been carrying it with me since you came to Simuitai to report it."
The Master said unhappily.
After relaxing a little, he had figured out Qiao Yelan's plan.
Qiao Yelan is at the center of public opinion right now, but as the Grand Tutor, isn’t he also the target of public criticism?
The Grand Marshal was hostile to him, and the Emperor was not friendly to him - not to mention Cai Yan. When had the two sides ever lived in peace?
It is better to learn from Qiao Yelan and retreat in order to advance.
If he made a big mistake, he would be punished, and then he would have to give the Ministry of Rites back to the emperor. However, the person who became the Minister of Rites was Minister Ning - Minister Ning was the key to this plan.
In the emperor's view, Minister Ning was always suppressed by the Grand Tutor. How could a young man not have courage and blood? He must have been dissatisfied with the Grand Tutor for a long time. As long as he promoted him, coupled with the long-standing loyalty of Duke Ning, then Minister Ning, no, Minister Ning must be grateful to him and stand firmly on his side.
In the eyes of the Taiwei, this was clearly a sign of the Taifu's efforts, and they had handed in a heavyweight token of allegiance - after all, Minister Ning was on their side, and with him in the position of Minister of Rites, their plans could be made more covert, making it more difficult for His Majesty to detect any clues in advance.
As for the Taifu, he naturally knew that his student was not the kind of person who would indulge in party struggles and power, and he still respected him very much. Although there might be friction between him and his Si Sui Tai on the surface, when it came to the real major issues, the other party would definitely cooperate with him to the utmost.
Everyone feels that Minister Ning is one of their own - so no one will put any obstacles in the way of Minister Ning's promotion. Instead, everyone will try to make this happen in their own way.
Too vivid.
The Grand Tutor felt somewhat emotional.
