"How long will the debate chief stay in Yan?" He thought about it for a long time, but did not give an answer.
"As short as three to five days, as long as three months, we will leave at the beginning of spring at the latest!" Jin Yao roughly estimated the time. If Yan Guo refused, he would leave immediately. If there was some hesitation, he could wait for a while.
"Please wait for a while, Chief Debate, and he will give you an answer!" He breathed a sigh of relief.
After arranging for Jin Yao to stay, he went to the study room and thought about how to persuade King Yan to send troops to the grassland.
"Will the Yan State send troops?" The God Slayer Swordsmen all looked at Jin Yao curiously. In their view, this was a gluttonous feast on the grassland, and it was also the first large-scale counterattack against the barbarians in the Central Plains. No one could change it.
Will miss it.
"No!" Jin Yao said calmly.
"No?" The Divine Swordsman was stunned. Such a good opportunity would only come once in thousands of years. Why would Yan State refuse?
"The State of Yan is a side branch of the Zhou Dynasty. It is different from other countries after the reform. All countries implemented reforms and reformed their official systems. The most thorough one was the State of Qin."
"The nine ministers of the Qin State are divided into Chang, Lang Zhongling, Weiwei, Taipu, Tingwei, Dianke, Zongzheng, Shaofu, and the governor of Su Neishi. They each perform their own duties and have clear powers. Above the nine ministers are the prime minister and the state captain.
The imperial censor is the doctor, the prime minister is in charge of the government affairs, the national lieutenant is in charge of the military affairs, and the censor supervises hundreds of officials and thousands of generals."
"The Kingdom of Yan is divided into three ministers and six ministers. The three ministers are: Shaoshi, Shaofu, and Shaobao. The six ministers are: Situ, Sikong, Sima, Sikou, Zongbo, and Zhongzai. The authority is unclear. Although there are prime ministers, they are unable to control hundreds of officials, and they are not even as good as
Situ, and there is also King Yan who likes to take care of things."
"Therefore, although the commander-in-chief of Qu is the Prime Minister of Yan State, he actually does not have much power, and he cannot be subordinate to the six ministers, let alone the three princes."
Jin Yao said slowly, if his power as Prime Minister was the same as that of Lu Buwei, then he could decide whether to send troops on the spot instead of letting them wait.
Therefore, Jiang Qu still needs to convince the officials of the Yan State. Even if he can convince the three officials and six ministers of the Yan State, there are also Yan Chunjun and Yan Wang Xi on top, which can be said to be very difficult.
"This may not be easy to understand, or you may think that I am belittling the Three Gongs and Six Ministers system that has been used by the Zhou Dynasty for nearly a thousand years, so let's go and take a look and find out!" Jin Yao smiled, and then talked to the elders of the Prime Minister's House.
After saying this, he left the Prime Minister's Mansion with the two divine swordsmen.
"Souji, where are we going?" The Swordsman God was a little curious.
"Feixue Pavilion!" Jin Yao whispered.
"Feixue Pavilion?" The swordsman god was puzzled. Why did he go to a brothel?
Jin Yao didn't explain that even though it was his first time to come to Yan country, there was no need to look for this kind of Xiaojin Cave.
At night, just find the most brilliantly lit place in the city, and someone will tell you where it is.
This is indeed the case. Xiaojin Cave is naturally located in the most prosperous place with the largest number of officials and wealthy businessmen.
Jin Yao and the Divine Swordsman didn't go too far after leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion. They already saw a brightly lit attic, with the words "Feixue Pavilion" gilded on a high-hanging plaque.
"Now you understand why I said that commanding Qu in the Yan Kingdom has no real power, right?" Jin said, looking at the tall Feixue Pavilion.
"Why?" The Swordsman God was speechless. We know that you, Mo Bian, are very smart, but there is no need to test us like this.
"There are clear limits on the heights of Zhou Li, the royal city, officials' residences, and city walls, but you also understand that the height of the Prime Minister's Mansion on this street is not the highest, or even the lowest, but the height of a brothel exceeds
All the mansions in the entire street are occupied, but the people living in this street are all the officials, generals and nobles of the Yan Kingdom." Jin Yao sighed, from a brothel you can see how chaotic the politics of the Yan Kingdom is.
The God Slayer Swordsman was also a Mohist, so he naturally knew the architectural standards very well. After Jin Yao poked around, he realized how chaotic the Yan country was.
"Sir, do you have a reservation?" Before Jin Yao and the Divine Swordsman entered Feixue Pavilion, they were stopped by someone. It was Feixue Pavilion's guard and thug.
"You still need to make an appointment?" Jin Yao was a little surprised.
"Of course, Feixue Pavilion only entertains fifty nobles every day, and reservations need to be made ten days in advance. Only the top fifty bidders with the highest bids are eligible to enter!" the guard said arrogantly, but glanced at Jin Yao's waist.
Lingxu, who was in the room, also felt that it was valuable, so he restrained his attitude and continued, "Money alone is not enough, you also need status. The people who come and go are all the nobles, doctors and generals of our Yan country, and
A very rich person."
Jin Yao nodded, it seemed that he couldn't stand it anymore, so he took the God Swordsman and prepared to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Sir, if you want to see it, you might as well come with Dan!" Just when Jin Yao was about to leave, he was stopped by someone.
Jin Yao turned around and looked towards the place where the sound came from. It was the noble young master with the orthodox mentality of the Mohist family whom he had seen outside the Prime Minister's Mansion during the day. Combined with his self-proclaimed title, he quickly understood that this noble young master was
The current Crown Prince of Yan, Ji Dan!
But what caught Jin Yao's attention was not Ji Dan, but the girl in red beside him.
When Jin Yao looked at the girl, the girl also looked at Jin Yao in surprise.
"Why are you here?" Jin Yao and the girl asked in unison.
The God Swordsman blinked, "As expected of you, Bensou, I know you everywhere you go... Well, you are a beauty, and you can pass through thousands of flowers without even touching your clothes at full level dodge."
Ji Dan also looked at the girl next to him in surprise. Yes, the girl was none other than Ji Feiyan, one of the last princesses of the Zhou Dynasty, or better known as Yan Fei.
"Feiyan knows this gentleman?" Ji Dan asked. In fact, when he saw Mo Mei and Ling Xu, he had already guessed Jin Yao's identity, and he just deliberately wanted to make friends with Jin Yao through the girl's mouth.
"I don't know!" However, Yan Fei's answer surprised Ji Dan.
Ji Dan was silent, was it so perfunctory? They all said hello to each other, but they still said they didn’t know each other!
"But I don't know him!" Jin Yao also said.
Only the two old leaders of the Mo family, Yan Fei and Yueshen knew his true identity, and it was impossible to tell outsiders about this.
"Come in with me!" Jin Yao said, and then walked into Feixue Pavilion. The guards of Feixue Pavilion naturally knew Ji Dan. When they saw Ji Dan talking to Jin Yao, they naturally did not dare to stop him.
With.

Concubine Yan silently left Ji Dan and followed Jin Yao, leaving Ji Dan alone in a daze.
"I seem to have been left behind?" Ji Dan later thought to himself that the woman he rescued left with someone else. What was going on? It felt like the hlbe prairie of Donghu was directly above his head.
"Prince please!" The guard diligently invited Ji Dan into Feixue Pavilion, but then he did not see Jin Yao and the girl again, and he did not know which room the group went to.
"Tool man!" Ji Dan was confused again. He didn't get to know anyone, and then he lost a beauty!
