Chapter 379: Smart people are hard to control

"Xia Guan has seen the ministry. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Cui Mingshi slowly walked in front of Lin Xiaotang with a puzzled look, looking at Lin Xiaotang with a cloudy face, Cui Mingshi was a little unsure of Lin Xiaotang's mood at the moment.

"Cui Yuanwailang, this official heard that Shen Yan came to the Criminal Department yesterday to order something, but is there such a thing?" Lin Xiaotang squinted and stared at Cui Mingshi for a while, and when he saw a look of doubt flashing in Cui Mingshi's eyes, he showed a hint of smugness, and a bright smile appeared on his face, and he said softly.

"Back to the ministry, this is indeed the case." Hearing Lin Xiaotang's inquiry, a strong surprise appeared in Cui Mingshi's eyes, according to Lin Xiaotang's style, it seems that he should not ask such a simple question, as if he was making a big fuss.

"I heard that you invited Shen Yan to a banquet yesterday and had a few drinks, but is there such a thing?" A hearty smile appeared on the corner of Lin Xiaotang's mouth.

"Yes." Cui Mingshi was even more curious in his heart, why did Lin Xiaotang pay attention to these small things, did he want to punish himself with such small things?

"Cui Yuanwailang, could it be that you forgot that when Shen Yan came to take office, you made it difficult for him, and you embarrassed him, could it be that you want to take this opportunity to explain to Shen Yan, and you want to solve it with him?" Lin Xiaotang's eyes suddenly flashed with a touch of sterniness, staring at Cui Mingshi coldly, it seemed that Cui Mingshi could not give a reasonable explanation, and Lin Xiaotang would snub Cui Mingshi.

"Do you think that he has won the trust of the emperor, and he has positions in four departments, and he holds real power, so he wants to take it back and have a good time?"

"Back in the ministry, Xia Guan did invite Shen Yan to have a few drinks, however, Xia Guan did not want to explain to Shen Yan, but Xia Guan felt that Shen Yan had risen so quickly, and many people wanted to find Shen Yan's weaknesses, but if they didn't have a deep understanding of Shen Yan, how could they find out Shen Yan's weaknesses, Xia Guan thought so, so Xia Guan thought about banqueting Shen Yan, because he wanted to set more of Shen Yan's weaknesses." When Cui Mingshi heard Lin Xiaotang's true face, a trace of panic appeared in his eyes, and then he forced his composure, with an innocent look on his face, met Lin Xiaotang's gaze, and defended himself.

"Oh, I heard you say that, this official has wronged you." After listening to Cui Mingshi's explanation, Lin Xiaotang had a suspicious look in his eyes, and looked at Cui Mingshi indifferently, as if he wanted to see through Cui Mingshi's heart.

"Did you hear anything?"

"Back to the ministry, Xia Guan and Shen Yan had some festivals before after all, he must have a strong vigilance against Xia Guan's banquet in his heart, if he rashly talked to him at the first banquet, he would definitely not be able to ask anything, so Xia Guan's approach is to try to win Shen Yan's favor first, and then slowly figure it out, Xia Guan believes that he will definitely be able to get useful information out of his mouth." Cui Mingshi's eyes showed a strong sense of confidence, met Lin Xiaotang's eyes, and said loudly.

"Oh, it seems that Cui Yuanwailang does have a heart." When Lin Xiaotang heard Cui Mingshi's words, an indifferent smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he glanced at Cui Mingshi indifferently and said with a noncommittal smile.

"It's just, how long do you plan to spend probing Shen Yan's weaknesses?"

"Back to the ministry, Shen Yan didn't come to the criminal department to order Mao much, the lower official got a message from Shen Yan's mouth, Shen Yan suggested to the emperor that he send a staff member to come to order Mao every day, and then understand the scope of affairs under his jurisdiction, urgent matters should be notified to Shen Yan as soon as possible, and then Shen Yan would deal with them as soon as possible, and Shen Yan would deal with them slowly later. The reason why Shen Yan suggested to the emperor was that he had many positions, and he was indeed a little too busy, and the emperor had already agreed to Shen Yan's suggestion. Cui Mingshi said this, a sly look flashed in his eyes, and he secretly glanced at Lin Xiaotang,

In fact, Shen Yan deliberately said this to Cui Mingshi, the purpose was to let Cui Mingshi know how much the emperor valued Shen Yan, and his own seemingly impossible suggestion, the emperor agreed, so that Cui Mingshi was full of respect for Shen Yan even more, and in the future cooperation, Cui Mingshi would try his best to avoid Cui Mingshi deliberately approaching him, so that Cui Mingshi felt how much Shen Yan had the emperor's trust and how much power he had in front of the emperor.

"Shen Yan's arrangement also made the lower officials a little passive, so the lower officials really had no bottom in their hearts, but the lower officials tried to contact Shen Yan as much as possible to strive for more useful confidence."

"Oh, Shen Yan's suggestion is really ridiculous, I didn't expect the emperor to agree, it can be seen that Shen Yan is indeed an out-and-out courtier, as a loyal minister, Shen Yan must not be allowed to bewitch the emperor like this again." Lin Xiaotang heard Shen Yan's suggestion relayed by Cui Mingshi, and a strong surprise appeared in his eyes, this suggestion is too incredible, in Shen Yan's eyes, what is the military department, the vegetable market, just send someone over to order it, this is too much to take the military department seriously.

"Very good, your idea is very good, do it well, if you really find out Shen Yan's effective information, remember to tell this official as soon as possible, and then this official will definitely introduce more big people to you to know, so that it will definitely be of great benefit to your career in the future."

"Thank you for the trust of the ministry in Xia Guan, Xia Guan must do his best to die, and he must find out Shen Yan's weaknesses and hobbies in the shortest possible time." Hearing that Lin Xiaotang was going to introduce the big man to himself, Cui Mingshi's eyes suddenly flashed with a strong intention, but he immediately thought of who Lin Xiaotang was about to be the big man.

It was precisely when he thought of this possibility that Cui Mingshi's eyes flashed a faint resentment, he had followed Lin Xiaotang for so many years, but Lin Xiaotang had never behaved like this, as if he did his duty and should do his best for him.

"Cui Yuanwailang, aren't you curious about who the big names this official said are?" Seeing the look flashing in Cui Mingshi's eyes, a playful smile flashed in Lin Xiaotang's eyes, and he asked slowly.

"The lower official is really curious, however, the lower official is very clear, if the ministry is willing to tell the lower official, even if the lower official is unstable, the ministry will definitely reveal some information, if the ministry is unwilling to tell the lower official, no matter how the lower official asks, the ministry will not say, so the lower official chooses to keep silent and listen to the instructions of the ministry." Hearing Lin Xiaotang's inquiry, a faint smile flashed in Cui Mingshi's eyes, a flattering look appeared on his face, and he said softly.

"Cui Yuanwailang, you have been working with this official for several years, and this official knows your ability very well, with your ability, let alone being a langzhong, even if you are a waiter, why has this official not recommended you for so many years?" An inexplicable look appeared at the corner of Lin Xiaotang's mouth, and he glanced at Cui Mingshi casually, and asked indifferently.

"The lower officials don't know, and they still hope that the ministry will make it clear." Hearing Lin Xiaotang suddenly ask such an embarrassing question, a strange look flashed in Cui Mingshi's eyes, first lowered his head slightly, then raised his head to meet Lin Xiaotang's gaze, and said slowly.

"That's because you're too smart, too smart to control."
