Qin Yining was deep in thought. He organized his words and said, "Other than giving Your Majesty something to use against Your Majesty, Marquis Dingbei is also expressing goodwill to Your Majesty. I'm sure that after he kills the Dayan troops and returns to the palace, he will try his best to apologize and show his weakness.
"Your Majesty will definitely change his view of a strong-willed person who is willing to submit to Your Majesty. Compared to Wang Ye's temperament, Marquis Dingbei's goodwill will be even more precious.
"After the disturbance caused by North Placating Marquis, His Majesty could not say that he did not allow Your Highness to seek revenge in front of Your Highness. But now, he is in a position where he can say 'Don't kill the innocent', and help His Majesty to keep the surrendered subjects of Great Yan who he wants to use."
"The most important thing is that Marquis Dingbei is not only trying to win over the old officials of Beiji, but he is also trying to sell some benefits to the surrendered officials of Dayan."
"Oh?" Xu Weizhi frowned slightly when she heard this. After thinking for a while, her eyes lit up. She looked at Qin Yining in surprise and admiration and said, "Miss Qin is indeed wise."
Pang Xiao also looked at Qin Yining, who was smiling and speaking frankly. Her eyes were filled with admiration.
Qin Yining smiled and drew circles on the lid of the bowl with her white fingertips. She continued in a soft voice,
He continued, "I'm from Dayan, so I understand a little about the thoughts of the Dayan officials. The team entering the capital is divided into three groups. The first group is from ten families following the County King of Yan. They are all outstanding Dayan officials. These people should be valued by Your Majesty when they arrive in Da Zhou.
"However, I'm guessing that the generals in the court must be Your Majesty's direct subordinates. As for the civil officials, Your Majesty will assign a few of his own people to important positions. The remaining positions will be equally divided between the old officials of Beiji and the surrendered Dayan officials. From this, it seems that the vacancies are limited.
"Marquis Dingbei killed many people in the first group. The second and third groups of people from the Yan dynasty will have a higher chance of filling up the vacancies. Think about it, these people will have a bad impression of Marquis Dingbei."
"You're right. Although lives are at stake and the people who died tragically are innocent, those who survived will feel lucky. They will feel that it's fortunate that someone died so that they could have a chance to take up a position. "Pang Xiao couldn't help but sigh when he heard her analysis.
Pang Xiao rarely interfered with the discussions of his advisors. Usually, the advisors would bring up the problems to discuss. Xu Weizhi, who was good at planning, would come up with a few solutions. Everyone would analyze the pros and cons together. Finally, Xie Yue, who was good at making decisions, would choose the most feasible plan.
Pang Xiao would listen in during this process. He would also express his opinion at the end, but he wouldn't interrupt in the middle.
His actions today were really rare. Not only Pang Xiao, but even they couldn't help but sigh for human nature after hearing Qin Yining's analysis.
Everyone's impression of Qin Yining changed again.
Qin Yining smiled at Pang Xiao, "There's no need to think about how evil human nature can be. What I said just now should be what North Placating Marquis said in passing. Moreover, this isn't the crux of why North Placating Marquis expressed goodwill to the Dayan officials. The crux of the matter is the enmity between Wang Ye and the Family Qin and the Dayan. "
Pang Xiao already understood what she meant. He said in a deep voice, "It was indeed Grand Preceptor Qin who schemed to sow discord, but the person who ordered Grand Preceptor Qin to do so was an incapable ruler. When This King attacked the Dayan, the people in the city said that This King was a demon who killed without batting an eye and ate human flesh and drank human blood. Presumably, the people of the Yan dynasty were also very afraid of This King. They were afraid that This King would vent his anger on them and take revenge for his father on them. "
Qin Yining frowned and said, "Yes, although Wang Ye has destroyed the Dayan, he hasn't actually taken revenge for his father. Therefore, the Dayan people must be worried that they will be played to death in Wang Ye's territory. "
Qin Yining stopped speaking at this point.
This was because she knew that everyone present was smart. They didn't think of it earlier because they were people of the Zhou Dynasty. Naturally, they would think from the perspective of the people of the Zhou Dynasty. This didn't prove that she was much more powerful than the strategists present.
She didn't finish her words and left them some space to express themselves.
Sure enough, the strategists all had a contemplative look on their faces.
The strategists who were pointed out by Qin Yining and were dissatisfied with her were now convinced. They sighed and said,
"Sure enough, it's like that. North Placating Marquis didn't take revenge on a specific target, but rather killed indiscriminately! This will give the world the impression that Wang Ye killed the innocent for revenge. In this way, if Wang Ye wants to take revenge in the future, there will be a lot of pressure from public opinion. If he doesn't handle it well, his reputation might be ruined. Doesn't this solve the Dayan people's worries? "
The strategist stood up and cupped his hands to Qin Yining and said, "I'm Tao Hanshan. I hope Miss Qin can forgive me for offending you earlier."
Qin Yining stood up and returned the greeting. She smiled and said, "Mr. Tao, please don't be so polite. Wang Ye gave us an environment for discussion so that we can express our opinions and exchange opinions. How did Mr. Tao offend you? I was the one who was careless and spoke nonsense in front of everyone. "
"Don't say that." Tao Hanshan said, "Miss Qin is intelligent and meticulous. I admire you."
Qin Yining exchanged some modest pleasantries with Tao Hanshan before sitting down again.
The atmosphere suddenly became very relaxed. The previous hostility and exclusion of Qin Yining from the strategists completely disappeared after the conversation.
Everyone now understood why Wang Ye was so deeply in love with her and even risked everything to save her. He didn't hesitate to sacrifice his reputation to "rob" her in order to protect his Family Qin's future.
A woman like this was worth cherishing.
A Family Qin that could raise such a daughter was also a good in-laws.
When Pang Xiao saw that the haughty strategists had become respectful and cautious, his mood became so good that it was as if he had eaten a bowl of hot tea in winter. He felt warm and comfortable from the inside out.
It seemed like his previous worries were unnecessary. His Sister Yi wouldn't shrink back just because others had a bad first impression of her. When she encountered difficulties, she would face them head-on. She wouldn't throw a tantrum, nor would she complain.
She was like a body of light. Ever since she was young, she had never backed down from anything she encountered. She had always worked hard and fought to the extreme.
Pang Xiao's blood was boiling. His love for Qin Yining had reached an indescribable level. He hated that he couldn't bring her by his side every day so that she would only have him in her heart.
While everyone was discussing, Huzi's voice suddenly came from outside.
Pang Xiao knew that Huzi must have something important to say. He gestured for everyone to be quiet and said loudly, "Come in."
