Chapter 972 There must be a standard for being a man
"Your Majesty, this may just be a coincidence." After listening to Xia Qi's words, Shen Yan suddenly felt a cold sweat behind him, although he had a certain psychological preparation for these things, after all, he lived under Xia Qi's nose, and it was almost impossible for Xia Qi not to know, but when Xia Qi said it in front of him, Shen Yan obviously felt a little fear in his heart, and he was afraid of Xia Qi.
Fortunately, although Shen Yan has not been much in accordance with the rules, at least Shen Yan has never done too much to exceed the emperor's bottom limit, which may be an important reason why Xia Qi has always been able to tolerate Shen Yan and even give greater trust and support.
"Is it a coincidence, is this really that important, the important thing is that I think you can do it." Xia Qi's eyes flashed with an indifferent look, and he didn't seem to be worried that Shen Yan would refuse his request.
"Through your relationship with the Yang family and the Song family and the influence on their forces, I completely feel that you can help me realize this little regret."
"Wechen's attitude towards the family is indeed a little different from that of the emperor, Wechen thinks that even if there are some stains on the people who can be used for themselves and for the emperor, it doesn't matter, as long as the character is not too bad, don't think too much about the family, Wechen feels that such a family can still be used." Shen Yan didn't know what to say, and for the first time felt as if he was wearing nothing in front of the emperor, and everything about himself was under the emperor's nose.
"I know, for example, that Cui Mingshi in the Criminal Department, he is from the Cui family, although he is only a concubine, but he is also a member of the Cui family." A faint smile appeared on the corner of Xia Qi's mouth, as if everything was under his control.
"Cui Mingshi's talent is indeed not bad, but he studied too much before, and he didn't fully exert his talents, or rather, in order to protect himself, he had to choose such a way, fortunately, you successfully helped me take back the Criminal Department, and at the same time found such a talent, it is obvious that under the agency management of Cui Mingshi, the efficiency of the Criminal Department is now one percent higher than that of Lin Xiaotang, which really makes me very pleased." Xia Qi said this, with a faint smile, and a smile flashed in his eyes, as if to say, Shen Yan, everything you do is under my control.
"Don't worry, Cui Mingshi is your person and my person, before you open your mouth to me, I will not promote him to his official position, nor will I transfer him out of the Criminal Department, he will still stay in the Criminal Department and become your right and left hand." Xia Qi felt a worried look in Shen Yan's eyes, and a kind smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he was saying to Shen Yan, Cui Mingshi is not moving, so you are also helping in other things, it is best to help me achieve the goal of uprooting the family.
"Thank you to the emperor for your appreciation and appreciation of Weichen, and I didn't blame Weichen for his misdeeds." Hearing Xia Qi's words, Shen Yan knew that this was a showdown with himself, or to force himself to agree to the emperor's request, but if he wanted to uproot the strength of the family, this was simply an impossible task, and Shen Yan was not so arrogant that there was nothing that Shen Yan couldn't accomplish.
"Although my wish is to uproot the strength of the family, but after nearly thirty years of deployment and struggle, especially after listening to your words, I understand that it is not impossible to uproot the family, but it takes methods and time, you already have the methods, and you have told me, but time, I am afraid I can't wait." When Xia Qi said this, a faint sense of loss flashed in his eyes, he spent half his life making a global deployment, and even did not hesitate to let those princes become pawns to fight with the family, but in the end, he found that everything he had done before was done in the wrong way, and this sadness and loss really made Xia Qi feel a deep exhaustion.
"I also thought about it a little bit just now, in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, only you can understand my intentions, and only you can be truly of the same heart with me, and only you can help me realize this little regret, Shen Yan, as my most trusted courtier, don't you even have this responsibility and confidence." When Xia Qi said this, a touch of loss flashed in his eyes, and with a hint of unwillingness, he roared towards Shen Yan in a low voice.
"Wechen is panicked, want to uproot the family, the emperor, this task is really too arduous, so arduous that Wechen does not have the ability to achieve it, if Wechen rashly agreed to the emperor's request, and one day Wechen still did not help the emperor realize this dream, this is the crime of bullying the king, Wechen said a big disrespectful word, even if the emperor is no more, Wechen can not pass this pass in his heart, therefore, Wechen will always refuse the emperor's request." Shen Yan's eyes flashed with a touch of helplessness, meeting Xia Qi's slightly complicated gaze, Shen Yan truthfully said what he thought in his heart, and at the same time did not forget the opportunity to establish a positive image for himself.
"Shen Yan, you have this heart, it really surprises me, I have a lot of courtiers, but many courtiers are against my will when I am still there, and they don't take me in their eyes at all, especially in the past ten years, only you Shen Yan regards me as the master of Great Xia, always puts my will first, and even thinks about what I think, shares my worries, and even thinks that after a hundred years, you can't complete my mission and see me without a face, which is much better than those officials in the court." When Xia Qi heard Shen Yan's words, a strong surprise flashed in his eyes, and Shen Yan's innocent heart was perfectly revealed at this moment, which made Xia Qi feel very relieved.
"Thank you for the emperor's appreciation, this is a basic criterion for Weichen to be a man, if there is no such basic criterion, then Weichen will lose the goal of life, as if he is a walking corpse, without any thoughts." Shen Yan's eyes flashed with a sincere look, showing enough sincerity to Xia Qi.
Shen Yan knew very well in his heart that the more suspicious Xia Qi's personality was, the fewer people wanted to gain his trust, as long as he could make this trust more solid in Xia Qi's heart, as long as Xia Qi reigned for one day, his position would be as stable as Mount Tai, although Shen Yan could not become the most powerful minister, but he could gain greater authority and security, and also contribute to his own strength.
