Chapter 33: Xia Yuanxu's Chance
"What's straight? What mess? Xia Yuanxu looked at Shen Yan blankly, he really didn't understand how Shen Yan could have these inexplicable words in his mind. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Forget it, I won't tell you, I can't tell you clearly." Shen Yan touched the back of his head, and glanced at Xia Yuanxu with a look that you don't understand in the world of your brother, "Let's be straight, what do you want to do?" ”
"It's very simple, I don't want to live the days of being bullied and ridiculed anymore." Xia Yuanxu's eyes showed a look that he had never seen before.
"Big brother, you don't have a fever, this is called simple." Shen Yan's eyes flashed with deep contempt, this girl is not bullied and stupid by life, how can people not be bullied and ridiculed, even the emperor is occasionally scolded by the so-called Qingliu and Zhengchen.
"I'm serious." Xia Yuanxu ignored Shen Yan's disdainful eyes, staring at Shen Yan's eyes with clear eyes, revealing a sense of perseverance.
"You're stupid, do you think you can achieve it if you want to, you call it fantasy, it's an unrealistic fantasy." Shen Yan's swollen eyes were even more contemptuous, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, not giving Xia Yuan any face, and he said unforgivingly, "If you have fantasy about these unrealistic fantasies, it is more realistic to use your identity as a prince to pursue the daughter of which family and give you a litter of little princes." ”
"I'm serious." Xia Yuanxu ignored Shen Yan's ridicule at all, his eyes were particularly resolute, as if a fool with a weak mind was constantly repeating this sentence.
"Are you sure you're serious?" Shen Yan had the feeling of being on a thief ship, and looked at Xia Yuanxu suspiciously.
"I've never been more serious." Xia Yuanxu nodded affirmatively, "I need your support and help." ”
"Damn, stop, who do you think I am, what ability do I have to give you support and help." Shen Yan hurriedly waved his hand to stop Xia Yuanxu and said, looking at Xia Yuanxu suspiciously, it seems that this kid is really driven crazy, as if a drowning person is grasping a life-saving straw indiscriminately, but unfortunately I am not the straw.
"Shen Yan, you're nothing now." Xia Yuanxu suddenly saw a trace of anger in Shen Yan's eyes, and quickly changed his words and said, "No, it's not that you are nothing, but although you don't have any foundation now, and you don't seem to have any strength, you have an advantage that no one else can match." ”
"Oh, I don't even know where my strengths are? Quick, let's hear it, let me be happy. Hearing that he had an advantage that no one else could match, Shen Yan's eyes first flashed with a hint of suspicion, and then a smile appeared on his face, like a flower.
"You really don't know?" Xia Yuanxu looked at Shen Yan with some disbelief, seeing the other party's beautiful demeanor, a trace of not very good thoughts appeared in his heart, and then he shook his head gently, "Your biggest advantage is the respect and trust of your father." ”
"You're not mistaken, which of the Manchu officials is not deeply respected and trusted by the emperor, otherwise how could they be in important positions." Shen Yan seemed to know what Xia Yuanxu wanted to express, but at this time, he was really not suitable to intervene in the princes' game, so he pretended to be crazy and said stupidly.
"Forget it, I treat you as a friend, and confide in you my heart that I have never revealed, but you refuse me thousands of miles away." Xia Yuanxu's eyes showed a trace of loss, a trace of sadness and indignation surged into his heart, and he looked at Shen Yan with slightly red eyes.
"Yo, your kid's temper is good." Shen Yan looked at Xia Yuanxu with a playful face, many thoughts flashed in his mind, and then he looked at Xia Yuanxu with a serious face, and said without the slightest emotion, "Okay, let me ask you, what capital do you have to realize the ideal that you think is extremely simple in your heart?" ”
"Don't tell me that you don't have anything, just with enthusiasm in your heart to realize the dream in your heart, this is a fool's dream." Shen Yan unceremoniously hit the unrealistic fantasy in Xia Yuanxu's heart.
"You mean I'm hopeless." A trace of sadness and desolation appeared in Xia Yuanxu's eyes, as well as a faint but irresolvable disappointment.
"Hope? How old are you, and still holding these unrealistic fantasies. Shen Yan looked at Xia Yuanxu a little speechlessly, "Let me ask you, what capital or advantage do you have, and you think you have hope?" ”
"I know that I have nothing, my mother has no noble background, just a peasant girl in Jiangnan, but unfortunately she passed away when I was three years old, and my father didn't like me, and then sent me to the palace to be taken care of by the next person to this day." Xia Yuanxu's eyes did not have the slightest emotion, as if he had lost all his color.
"You also know your situation, which of your adult brothers does not have a prominent matriarchal background, which one does not have an unclear relationship with the courtiers, which one does not put his hands and feet into the yamen at all levels of the court, which one of the mansions does not raise some dead soldiers, as long as they give an order, how many people are willing to go forward for them." A sneer appeared at the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and he looked at Xia Yuanxu without the slightest emotion, "But what about you, it's not me who hit you, you don't have anything, why are you fighting with those brothers of yours?" ”
"I know what you said, I have no foundation, no helpers, and I can't win the favor of my father, and wanting to fight with my powerful brothers is tantamount to shaking a tree." Xia Yuanxu sighed deeply, his eyes seemed to be a little erratic, and his expression was slightly trance.
"Since you know all of this, and you don't have the ability to fight tigers, why do you do that stupid thing that knows that there are tigers in the mountains and prefers to go to the tiger mountains?" Shen Yan was a little surprised in his heart, or he didn't know very well why Xia Yuanxu had this ambition in his heart, was he really bullied enough, or did he have another opportunity?
"Shen Yan, do you know? Before I fought with you, I had been living every day in a mess, or my goal at that time was to attract my father's attention, but my father didn't look at me from beginning to end. At that time, in addition to resentment, there was longing in my heart. The corners of Xia Yuanxu's mouth were filled with bitterness, a trace of confusion appeared in his eyes, and he took a big sip of a glass of wine sent by Ah Fu, "But after fighting with you, especially after hearing you play against my father in the imperial garden yesterday, I pondered all night last night, and I kept asking myself, what is my pursuit?" Is this the end of this life? ”
"Shen Yan, I believe you have also been confused, and you have also clearly recognized where your goal in life is?" Xia Yuanxu's eyes suddenly became incomparably bright, affirmative and resolute, "Do you know, after seeing the scene of my father playing against you, to be honest, I am not only jealous but also jealous in my heart. ”
"That's my brother is more handsome than you." A smug smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth.
"Do you really want to do that?" Shen Yan and Xia Yuanxu were chatting without being salty, drinking wine absentmindedly, Shen Yan suddenly put away his cynical mentality, and looked at Xia Yuanxu seriously, as if he wanted to confirm whether Xia Yuanxu was joking, and seemed to have figured out something.
Xia Yuanxu nodded heavily, and a hint of hope appeared in his eyes.
"And how do you want me to help you?" A vague smile flashed at the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, a light of wisdom flashed in his bright eyes, and the scene of coming to Jinling City was like a movie screen floating in his mind, and the unfair treatment continued to stimulate a trace of ambition that had been hidden in the deepest part of his heart, and at this moment this ambition seemed to have found a suitable soil for growth.
Shen Yan knew in his heart that although the emperor valued himself, he did not value his own talent, nor did he value his ability to stabilize the country, the emperor only valued his witty, interesting, and knowledgeable advances and retreats, and more importantly, the emperor needed a lonely minister, who dared to stand on the opposite side of the ministers and the prince, and transferred the realization of the ministers and the prince, so that the emperor could retreat into the background, and he was like a marionette being manipulated by the emperor to fight with the ministers.
Of course, as a lonely minister, you should have the consciousness of a lonely minister, and you will not form a party in the court, but if you are a person, you will have a party, no one can do it without relatives and friends, no human contacts, no asking for things or being asked to do things, it can be said that the mission of the lonely minister is more difficult than ascending to the sky.
Moreover, within a few days of entering the court, he offended the seventh prince and the twelfth prince successively, although there was no actual conflict of interest, but he invisibly drew a tight spell for himself, and the atmosphere of the princes seizing the heirs became stronger and stronger, and there was no prince who fought against the seventh prince and the twelve princes in order to win himself over, to be exact, his value was not so great.
In general, the emperor's mission to make himself a lonely minister is nine deaths, or even ten deaths, and this is where he is aggrieved.
Originally, after understanding the price behind this, Shen Yan's mood has been very depressed and heavy, as if he was overwhelmed, and he wanted to take the opportunity of drinking with Xia Yuanxu to resolve his depressed mood, but Xia Yuanxu's ambition to reveal made him seem to find an outlet in his doubts.
Xia Yuanxu seems to be useless, without the slightest chance of winning, but after careful analysis, Xia Yuanxu is not without any advantages, the emperor treats Xia Yuanxu very disgusted on the surface, but in fact, this kind of protection is a kind of unspeakable fatherly love. Although Xia Yuanxu does not have any power in the court and has no help, in other words, once the emperor wants to move the court, or if there is a disturbance in the court, he will not be involved.
As long as the emperor's protection of Xia Yuanxu is properly used, Xia Yuanxu can be allowed to reflect his son's love for his father, not to compete in the open, and not to form gangs in the court, which can reduce the emperor's attention and will not cause other princes to suppress. In the end, you can sit and watch other princes fight back and forth, while Xia Yuanxu is secretly developing, and Xia Yuanxu has no chance of winning if he doesn't taste it.
The real opportunity was given by the emperor, so to get the emperor's heart, Xia Yuanxu did not have a chance.
