Chapter 963: The Secret Spy

"Spy?" A flash of surprise flashed in Xia Qi's eyes, not many people knew about secret spies, how did Shen Yan know? What Xu Sanyuan told Shen Yan was that Shen Yan had mastered the information that Shen Yan had discovered from some clues after he had mastered the Jinyi School?

"The emperor doesn't have to wonder how Wechen knew the secret spy, after Wechen mastered the Jinyi School, he found that there was a mysterious force wandering outside the court, Wechen was worried that this force was controlled by some people with intentions, therefore, Wechen also spent a little effort to find out one or two, and found that Wechen couldn't find out this force no matter how he investigated, at this time Wechen's heart was anxious, as the commander of the Jinyi School, he couldn't even find out that there was such a force in Jinling." Shen Yan felt the doubts in Xia Qi's heart, an indifferent smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he glanced at Xia Qi lightly, and said slowly.

"However, by chance, Wei Chen knew that this force was a secret spy, but a special organization formed by the emperor, after knowing this basic information, Wei Chen no longer went to explore this mysterious force, and now at a critical time, the Jinyi School and the Ouchi guards are not suitable to investigate this matter, so Wei Chen will have the courage to propose that the secret spy participate." When Shen Yan said this, a calm look appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he had no other intentions, but a loyal and public appearance.

"It's not that the secret spy can't be transferred, it's just that I don't think it's appropriate to let the secret spy investigate this matter." Hearing Shen Yan's explanation, Xia Qi smiled indifferently, this was similar to what he guessed, Shen Yan did not focus on exploring the secret spy, which reassured him.

This is not to say that Xia Qi is particularly taboo about Shen Yan's private investigation of secret spy news, but Xia Qi feels that since Shen Yan is a person close to him, he should not have too much selfishness or curiosity, so as to give him a greater mission and official position. He has already given Shen Yan a great official position, and has even become the biggest dark horse in this dynasty, but Xia Qi believes that this is not the end of Shen Yan, this is just the starting point. Of course, the premise is that Shen Yanming is not aware of current affairs. However, as far as Shen Yan's performance is concerned, Shen Yan is still very good in all aspects, so Xia Qicai gave Shen Yan enough opportunities.

And Shen Yan's proposal of the secret spy this time almost made Xia Qi feel misunderstood, but fortunately, Shen Yan made a reasonable explanation in time, so instead of misunderstanding Shen Yan, Xia Qi felt that Shen Yan's starting point and purpose were for his own sake, thinking of this, Xia Qi felt that it was a wise choice for him to promote and reuse Shen Yan.

"Your Majesty, can Weichen dare to ask the reason?" Hearing Xia Qi's words, a hint of surprise flashed in Shen Yan's eyes, at this time, the emperor still had reservations and did not let the secret spy move, which did seem to be a bit of a disregard for the country.

"The reason why a secret spy is a secret spy is because he has to maintain an extreme mystery, so that he can play the most appropriate role at a critical time." A look of indifference appeared at the corner of Xia Qi's mouth, and he didn't seem to care too much about Shen Yan's inquiry, but said slowly.

"Your Majesty, when is the most critical time?" A hint of surprise flashed in Shen Yan's eyes, he glanced at Xia Qi indifferently, and asked lightly with a hint of doubt.

"At a time when the country is in crisis." Xia Qi's eyes flashed with a touch of helplessness, although the secret spy was formed by himself, but since its formation, it has only played a role in the battle with Beihu more than thirty years ago, and he has been in Taoguang for all these years, and he doesn't know where the secret spy has developed now.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen has the courage to say, how big is the gap between the current situation and the danger of the country, if this matter cannot be dealt with in time, they will sell the interests of Great Xia, and once Beihu masters some of the most important secrets of my Great Xia, does the emperor think that Beihu will not use these secrets of ours to attack Great Xia? If Beihu didn't have this in mind, then why bother spending time and energy to buy off the officials on the list. Shen Yan's eyes flashed with a look of encouragement, the emperor still felt that this matter was not urgent at this time, no, the emperor felt that this matter was very important, but it was still not time to mobilize the secret spy, could it be that the transfer of the secret spy had to wait until there was any crisis in the emperor?

"The purpose of Beihu Guoshi and his entourage coming to Jinling can be said to be obvious, that is, they want to find out the truth of my Great Xia, and by the way, they can buy some people to use for them, so as to launch a new round of offensive against my Great Xia when they are ready." When Shen Yan said this, he raised his head and glanced at Xia Qi, and saw that the other party was not angry, but had a thoughtful look, Shen Yan knew that his words had touched Xia Qi's heart.

It's not that Xia Qi doesn't know the mystery of this, or it's not that he doesn't know the problems here, it's just that Xia Qi has disappeared from the positive and enterprising spirit over the years, this is not Xia Qi's problem, but a common problem of a person in his twilight years, at the same time, Xia Qi is also silent in the big victory thirty years ago, no, it was a tragic victory, Xia Qi is very clear in his heart, and it is exactly like this, Xia Qi has been adjusting his direction over the years, and he has focused on defending against the invasion of Beihu, Later, it was changed to how to reclaim power from these families to strengthen Xia's strength, so as to lay a solid foundation for the next Beihu War.

After Xia Qi changed his strategy, the effect was not particularly obvious, the family could survive for so many years, no one was mentally retarded, on the contrary, they were all more shrewd than foxes, so when Xia Qi changed his strategy, these families also made corresponding adjustments, no longer confronting Xia Qi head-on, but turning the forces into zero, and at the same time gradually infiltrating the forces into some princes, and the main generals mastered the government, Xia Qi wanted to uproot these families at this time, it was unlikely.

Therefore, even Xia Qi's national policy towards Beihu has undergone some subtle changes, no longer thinking about solving the threat of Beihu to Great Xia, but thinking about how to maintain peace as much as possible in the past few decades, but it does not involve Xia Qi's bottom line, and Xia Qi has almost nothing that he can't agree.

It is precisely because of these factors that Xia Qi will not think of mobilizing the secret spy to investigate the list provided by Shen Yan, Xia Qi does not want to expose the secret spy because of this, because the secret spy is used to deal with the family.
