Qin Yining couldn't help but stand up and pace back and forth. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was tricky.
"Your Majesty's move is too insidious. I just heard Your Majesty telling Wang Ye not to refuse. But what if the old officials of Northern Ji and the connections of the aristocratic families unite to oppose Wang Ye in public during the court meeting tomorrow?"
"Your Majesty is biased towards the old officials of Northern Ji. If they unite, Your Majesty will have no choice but to give up." Xu Weizhi shook his head and said, "At that time, what will the outsiders say? Wang Ye failed to enter the Cabinet and will be ridiculed for overestimating himself. Wang Ye is famous and can't afford to lose face like this. If his reputation is tarnished, it won't be good for Wang Ye's future development. "
"More importantly, Your Majesty gave Wang Ye this official position in the name of rewarding Wang Ye for pacifying the Dayan. Your Majesty gave Wang Ye this position, but since Wang Ye doesn't have the ability to take this position, then you can't blame Your Majesty." Xie Yue frowned and broke out in a cold sweat. "In my opinion, Your Majesty wants to take the opportunity to beat Wang Ye to the bottom of the valley and make him a laughingstock. This will solve the problem once and for all."
The three people's analysis was meticulous and detailed. Even though Pang Xiao was a little hot-blooded because of Li Qitian's incitement, when he calmed down and thought about it again, he realized that something was wrong.
The study fell into silence.
After a long time, Xie Yue said, "Old Xu, quickly think of a way. We can't let Wang Ye refuse in public tomorrow. That will be defying the imperial decree. "
Xu Weizhi rubbed his chin and said, "Of course, we can't defy the imperial decree. It's a good thing to enter the Cabinet, but Wang Ye's future is more important. We have to look further."
Pang Xiao nodded and said, "Naturally, I can't follow Your Majesty's wishes on this matter. I definitely can't wait until tomorrow when Your Majesty announces the decree in the Imperial Court and has people slander me in public. "
"At the end of the day, this is not only a dispute between Wang Ye and Your Majesty, but also a dispute between Your Majesty and the old officials of Northern Ji for power." Qin Yining sat down again. His eyes were bright, and it was obvious that he already had an idea.
Xu Weizhi was good at scheming and had always been the best at offering advice to Pang Xiao. Now that he saw a little girl who was more quick-witted than him, he smiled and asked with interest, "Miss Qin, do you have an idea?"
Qin Yining's eyes sparkled. He didn't answer the question. "Tell me, what would you do if you were robbed of a string of coins?"
Xie Yue said, "Of course I would snatch the money back, beat the robber, and then report it to the authorities."
Qin Yining nodded and asked again, "But if you were not only robbed of a string of coins, but your wife was also kidnapped and sold, and your child was thrown into a well, what would you do?"
This analogy was too bloody, but the people present were all smart people. No one cared about the inappropriateness of this analogy. Everyone's heart seemed to have flashed with a bright light.
Pang Xiao, Xie Yue, and Xu Weizhi looked at each other. The three of them looked at Qin Yining together and couldn't help laughing.
Xu Weizhi stood up and cupped his hands at Qin Yining. "Miss Qin is really a woman's Zhuge. This old man admits defeat. I'm convinced. This time, I'm completely convinced."
"Mr. Xu, what are you talking about?" Qin Yining hurriedly stood up and returned the salute.
Pang Xiao looked at Qin Yining with admiration and pride in his eyes. Then, he looked at Xie Yue questioningly.
Xie Yue was very decisive. She could always choose the most appropriate decision out of several.
Xie Yue nodded with a smile and said, "Wang Ye, I think Miss Qin's idea is very good. Your Majesty has announced that you will join the Cabinet. For the old officials of Beiji, it's equivalent to being robbed of a string of coins. They won't do anything to Your Majesty. At most, they will try their best to refuse your entry and think of a way to push you out."
"But if this matter is blown out of proportion, it will be different. We will immediately spread rumors and let the old officials of Beiji and the aristocratic families know that Your Majesty will replace all the old officials of Beiji in the Cabinet with his trusted subordinates in tomorrow's court meeting.
"In this way, it won't be as simple as being robbed of a string of coins. If there are no old officials of Beiji in the Cabinet, it will be equivalent to throwing a child into a well and selling off his wife. These old officials and aristocratic families will definitely fight with all their might. Wang Ye can just sit back and watch the show. "
Pang Xiao smiled and nodded. "You're right." He looked at Qin Yining with a gentle gaze. "Moreover, This King will not only have a good show to watch, but he will also benefit from it."
Qin Yining blushed under his gaze. She lowered her head and avoided his gaze.
Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi saw this and stood up tactfully. They bowed and said, "Since this is the plan, we will go and make the arrangements."
"Thank you for your trouble." Pang Xiao politely sent the two of them out of the door.
When they returned to the study, Pang Xiao picked up Qin Yining like he was carrying a child. His strong arms supported her buttocks and he spun her around a few times.
Qin Yining was so frightened that she almost screamed. She wrapped her arms around his neck and grabbed his shoulders to steady herself.
"What are you doing? Put me down!"
"Good Sister Yi, you're really my good wife. You really made me proud just now. Now, Mr. Xu and Mr. Xie must be very envious of me!"
"What are you talking about? You're not a child anymore." Qin Yining could not help but laugh. She did not expect Pang Xiao to be like a child, showing off and being proud of something like this.
Pang Xiao put her down and kissed her on the cheek. He hugged her and rocked her.
"Sister Yi, it's so good to have you by my side. It seems that I have the ability to solve any problems that I encounter. I'm not worried about myself at all because I'm full of motivation and have the energy to do everything. Sister Yi, don't go. Stay with me, okay? Put aside the talent show and let me investigate carefully. You can decide after I see the situation, okay? "
Such an iron-blooded and domineering person was actually like a large dog at this moment. He was just short of wagging his tail at her. How could Qin Yining bear to disappoint him?
She could only say, "Okay, I won't leave today. You go and investigate first. We'll talk after you understand the situation."
Pang Xiao nodded happily. "Then you don't have to go to the talent show, okay? You've just promised me that you'll only follow me. You can't go back on your word. "
"You're so domineering." Qin Yining's heart felt warm. She pretended to be angry and punched him lightly on the shoulder.
Pang Xiao said very seriously, "Yes, I'm domineering, but I'm only domineering about one thing, and that is that you must belong to me! As long as you fulfill this condition of mine, in my world, if you want to climb the roof and tear down the tiles, I'll build a ladder for you. If you want to go down the river to fish, I'll be your assistant. I'll do whatever you want!
"I won't ask you to do anything for me. I can even make delicious food for you. My cooking skills are not bad, and I can make a lot of delicious food. Even my grandfather praises my cooking skills.
"I can also take you around to have fun. I won't restrict your freedom, and I won't bury your talent. You can do whatever you want as long as you fulfill this condition of mine. Sister Yi, you're so smart. This is a good deal. Just agree, okay? "
