Chapter 376: Go to the Criminal Department

"However, I am now an empty shell prince, compared to Lao Shi, he is a huge elephant, I am the insignificant ant, how can the ant beat the elephant. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Although there was a hint of indignation in Xia Yuanxu's eyes, he was not arrogant enough to control the rules of the world, and said unwillingly.

"It's the same prince, don't be presumptuous." Shen Yan heard Xia Yuanxu's somewhat aggrieved words, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and there was a hint of encouragement in his eyes.

"Right now, you are indeed inferior to the Ten Princes, but this does not mean that you have completely lost to the Ten Princes, until the last moment, never make up your mind easily, in my opinion, at least there is one point where you exceed the Ten Princes, and even surpass all the other princes, that is, they are all patrolling the Emperor Waiti, and you are staying by the Emperor's side."

"However, there are a lot of people around them who do things for them and have a lot of power in their hands, and I don't have anything, and at this point, I completely lose." A touch of loss appeared in Xia Yuanxu's eyes, as if he was indignant that the emperor did not give him power.

"If that's what you think, then I really don't have anything to say." When Shen Yan heard Xia Yuanxu's words so discouraged, a slight anger couldn't help but appear in his eyes, and he glanced at Xia Yuanxu indifferently.

"Whoever has the last laugh, although the power in the hand is an important capital, but it is not the only capital."

"I don't understand what you're saying." Xia Yuanxu's eyes showed a touch of doubt, and he met Shen Yan's eyes.

"Remember what I said to you after we fought?" Shen Yan asked instead of answering.

"What you said after the fight, you said that I would not fight or fight, but only reflect the pure heart of my father, of course I remember, it was your words that gave me great strength in life, and I also said that if I can go to that position, I will not lose you." Xia Yuanxu's mind flashed the scene of himself chatting with Shen Yan after he and Shen Yan had a fight, and a touch of warmth couldn't help but appear in his eyes.

"Yes, there is only one throne, although the emperor wants to choose the strongest person, but this is not the only choice, many times, the emperor will choose a person who is the best at forbearance, the most indisputable, the emperor is Mingjun, very aware of the current state of Great Xia, and needs a gentle but not cowardly person to slowly recuperate, so that one day in the future, the soldiers who led Great Xia will successfully defeat Beihu, instead of needing a rampant person to completely hollow out the foundation that Great Xia has developed so hard." Shen Yan stared at Xia Yuanxu for a long time, his eyes showed a touch of contemplation, and after a long time, Shen Yan said slowly in a calm voice.

"Do you know why the emperor has not done anything for more than ten years, this is of course to attract those scholars who are fighting against the imperial power, but more to give the people of the world a chance to recuperate, and at the same time, I also want to take the opportunity to govern the world scholars and let them obey the imperial power strangely."

"It turns out that my father's heart hides such a big ambition and ambition, I'm not as good as you know about your father, no wonder my father trusts you so much, I used to think that you were just because of your humor and fun and got my father's love, it turns out that there is such a factor." A strong surprise appeared in Xia Yuanxu's eyes, he really didn't expect Shen Yan to be able to peek into the ambition in his father's heart in such a short period of time.

"I finally understand why you want me to tell the truth to my father, what my father wants is not for me and Luo Yuhui to get together, but to hear if I told the truth to my father." Xia Yuanxu's eyes suddenly flashed with a flash of understanding, and he glanced at Shen Yan gratefully.

"Now I understand that I don't necessarily have the capital to fight against the Ten Princes." A faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth.

"I have a question, how do you plan to arrest the culprit, without the will of your father, you can't go to Lao Shi's mansion to arrest people at will." A smile appeared on the corner of Xia Yuanxu's mouth, and a trace of doubt and contemplation suddenly appeared in his eyes, he glanced at Shen Yan and said loudly.

"You don't want me to take people to Lao Shi's mansion to arrest people, this important errand, you still don't look for me, I can't afford this heavy responsibility."

"I didn't think about letting you arrest people, although you have a certain advantage, but with your current level, it is tantamount to an egg hitting a stone." A chuckle appeared in Shen Yan's eyes, glanced at Xia Yuanxu, and said unceremoniously.

"If you know, it's good." Xia Yuanxu rolled his eyes.

"You can't come to the door to arrest people, and I can't help much, so what are you going to do?"

"I already have a preliminary idea in my mind, but the plan is not yet complete, and I don't have much time to complete this plan now, so I can only put it on hold for a while, and wait for the next more important thing before the trial of this case." A touch of indifferent confidence appeared in Shen Yan's eyes.

"By the way, with my understanding of the emperor, after you enter the palace this time, the emperor must have praised you a lot, if nothing else, the emperor will do things for which of the six parts you want to do the most, how should you answer?"

"Of course, I went to the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Officials is in charge of hundreds of officials in the world, if I do a good job, these officials will be my helpers in the future, of course, I will go to the Ministry of Officials." Xia Yuan replied without thinking.

"Then let me ask you, if the emperor listens to your answer, how will he feel about you, and do you still think you have that pure heart?" Shen Yan heard Xia Yuanxu's answer, his brows furrowed slightly, a touch of contemplation flashed in his eyes, and he said lightly.

"Could it be that my father's senses will change when he hears this?" Xia Yuanxu didn't seem to think of the hidden problem here, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"Among the six departments, the most you can't go to is the ministry, do you think the emperor will not think of your idea, once the emperor confirms your idea, do you think that no matter how good you behave, no matter how good you are, no matter how much you don't fight, do you still have a chance?" Shen Yan's brows twisted into a Sichuan character, and he said without the slightest emotion.

"What about Tobe?" Xia Yuanxu immediately thought of Hubu, with a trace of doubt in his eyes, and said uncertainly.

"The household department is in charge of the world's money and grain, and it is a very oily department, but you can't go, unless you want to grab the management of the household department with the eldest prince, even if you don't have this idea, but once you go to the household department, the eldest prince will inevitably have this idea, and once the eldest prince has this idea, you have only a dead end." Shen Yan didn't glance at Xia Yuanxu at all, a touch of contemplation and helplessness flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly.

"I think only these two of the six are the most promising, if I can't go to both of them, then which one should I go to?" Xia Yuanxu heard Shen Yan's analysis, and a touch of despair appeared in his eyes, the most promising one can't go, do you want to go to that Qingping one, isn't that stupid.

"The Ministry of Industry is nothing more than responsible for engineering, craftsmen, tuntian, water conservancy, transportation and other affairs, and it is not appropriate for you to go. Ministry of Rites, you are not suitable, etiquette, sacrifices, vassals, and foreign contacts require a certain age and experience, as for the management of the imperial examination, you are not that piece of material. ”

"As for the military department, it's not suitable, one is that you don't have the background and support of the military, and it is very difficult to do things in the military department, and the other is that if you go to the military department, if you are asked to be in charge of the appointment of some military generals, you will be troublesome enough, none of these generals have a good temper, and they will go crazy at every turn, which will only make you very passive."

"Of the six, I am not suitable for five of them, do you want me to go to the criminal department?" Xia Yuanxu listened to it for a long time, and a touch of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, you are inferior to me, don't you have the positions of the Criminal Department and the Military Department, why can't I go to the Ministry of Officials or the Ministry of Households, at least the Ministry of War, you are better than me.
