Yan Kaiyu and Min Xiang sat on the chairs and watched them quarreling. They looked at each other tacitly, but what they thought in their hearts was that the other was a little fox and a veteran.

The two have been working together for several years, and Min is so shrewd about this young man's mind that he can be said to be afraid of him.

He had seen countless people, and for some people, he could tell what kind of person they were just by looking at them once. However, he had dealt with this prince many times, but he could never see through him or understand him no matter what.

From this we can see that this young prince is an extraordinary person, and has a shrewdness far beyond his age group.

Take the previous incident between He Pingnan and Qi Yi for example, it was not as simple as just punishing two old ministers.

The position of the Minister of War is crucial once a war breaks out. Although the former Minister Qi Yi is capable, he is a real radical. He is old but does things in an unstable way, and his old bones always quarrel with others.

Moreover, he looked down on He Pingnan's cavalry, but to deal with the Zehuang Iron Cavalry, he had to rely on He Pingnan's experience in leading cavalry and the only 5,000 remaining Black Tiger Cavalry under his command.

Yan Kaiyu was originally worried about how to handle the relationship between the two of them, or how to deal with the two of them. He was very worried that the two of them would not get along once the war broke out. This was a taboo during war and could not be delayed.

However, Qi Yi is an old minister with many students and former officials, and even more followers in the army. If he is dismissed without any reason, there will probably be complaints and dissatisfaction among his subordinates.

The situation of He Pingnan was the same. He was an old general in the court with a title and military power, and was even more difficult to deal with. If he was angered, he would lead the Black Tiger Cavalry with his daughter to defect to the enemy country, making it even more difficult to fight in the future.

When Yan Kaiyu was in trouble, coincidentally, He Xinyue happened to replace the memorials.

He took advantage of the situation and found a reason to deal with the two men. He dismissed Qi Yi from his post, promoted his eldest son to be the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, and also arranged an official position for his second son in his hometown to reassure the people.

He Pingnan and his troops were moved to the border, and his daughter was left behind as a hostage. This was done to deter the enemy, after all, He Pingnan's Black Tiger Cavalry had been their nightmare.

This method is indeed despicable, but there is nothing we can do about it.

Prime Minister Min was also secretly fanning the flames. He was worried that people with ulterior motives or those who were dissatisfied would speculate on the matter, so he organized the censors to write a letter to praise the prince, saying that the move was very appropriate. When those people saw that the prime minister said so, they naturally did not dare to say anything more.

Prime Minister Min had long known that the prince was a thoughtful and cunning person, and he had a deeper understanding of this from this incident. This person should not be offended. The two meritorious old ministers were dismissed from their posts and sent to the border without any ambiguity.

Yan Ruoshi whispered to Yan Kaiyu: "Brother, how about we stop here today? It's a day of celebration and joy. It sounds terrible. I regret discussing these things today. The endless quarrels really make me upset."

"Your Majesty, please change into your wedding attire first. Leave this to me."

"My Royal Brother, you have worked hard."

Yan Ruoshi took advantage of the time when the old guys were pointing at each other and cursing at each other to slip away, feeling extremely happy.

Yan Kaiyu continued to sit down and watch the show, sipping the fine tea from time to time.

Prime Minister Min pretended not to see the emperor leaving. Everyone in the entire Ziling Kingdom knew that the real master in charge was the gentleman who was leisurely drinking tea in front of him.

What no one expected was that these people started fighting while arguing. Although the civil servants usually kept silent and acted arrogantly, they were very decisive when they started fighting.

Minister Min stood up hurriedly and glanced at the prince. This guy could still sit still.

He went up to stop the fight: "Brothers, you are all old, please don't get hurt. In the future, we still need you to serve the country wholeheartedly! Your Majesty! Stop drinking tea and stop the fight!"

Yan Kaiyu called to the eunuch beside him: "Call the imperial physician."

"..."

With everyone's efforts, the old guys who were fighting finally let go, and their clothes were torn.

Zhou An looked at the teeth marks on his hand and said angrily, "Which son of a bitch uses biting to start a fight?!"

Yan Kaiyu suppressed his laughter, looked at the tooth mark, pointed at Lou Ye, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and said in a provocative manner: "He is the only one present who has such a big front tooth mark."

"Your mother..."

Seeing that it was the prince, Zhou An held back his curse.

Of course, there is another reason. The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Lou Ye, is the younger brother of the Minister of Personnel, Lou Cheng, the late emperor's concubine, Concubine Dowager Lou. It is said that his niece, Lou Wei, is about to enter the palace to serve the emperor, and is personally selected by the empress. She is a royal relative and a noble family in the capital, and she is really not to be messed with.

The Zhou family was not bad either. The civil official Zhou An was able to become the Minister of War, and the military general Zhou Zhili was able to become the General of the North.

They are all remarkable people and they all come from remarkable families.

The Lou family is so powerful, which is exactly why Yan Kaiyu said Yan Tingran is smart.

Even though Yan Tingran had no intention of coveting the throne, the family behind him had the ability to covet the throne. He knew this very well and consciously stayed away from the court in the capital to avoid any trouble.

Of course, it is also true that he likes to visit brothels and play with famous prostitutes. He has no ambition to be an emperor and is not a bad person to be an idle prince, which is so leisurely.
