"Weichen Shen Yan knocked to see the emperor, long live my emperor. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info "After Shen Yan entered the city, he first found a place near Wangjiang Tower to temporarily settle Ye Sanniang and other sisters, and then took a little time to meet with Wu Zhenyue, and inquired about the latest news of Beihu's guests from the other party's mouth, with a faint confidence on his face, and walked towards the Qinzheng Palace, when he walked to the Qinzheng Hall and saw Xia Qi, Shen Yan's eyes spontaneously browsed a real smile, knelt down and bowed to the emperor, and shouted loudly.
"Shen Yan, it's been a long time since you went back to Jinling, how did you know that you came to Qinzheng Hall to see me? I'm curious, do you still have me in mind? The moment he saw Shen Yan's figure, an inexplicable look flashed in Xia Qi's sharp eyes, and then he said coldly with a straight face.
"Your Majesty, Weichen has been wronged." Hearing the emperor's reproachful tone, a look of sincere fear appeared on Shen Yan's face, and a sincere smile appeared in his eyes.
"Wronged? Then tell me, how I wronged you" Shen Yan opened his mouth, and Xia Qi understood that Shen Yan was playing a bitter drama again, so he said slowly with a cold face.
"Your Majesty, as soon as Weichen came back, he first arranged for the rest of the Royal Army of Great Xia, and when these were dealt with, Weichen went to find the intelligence officers who were left behind before and asked about the latest situation of the guests in Beihu. Your Majesty, Weichen is dedicated to serving you, and he never dares to be lazy. Shen Yan knew that the emperor was deliberately suppressing himself, and Shen Yan still said with sincerity.
"Count your boy with a bit of conscience and loyalty." After listening to Shen Yan's explanation, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Xia Qi's mouth, a playful look flashed in his eyes, and he didn't seem to really want to make things difficult for Shen Yan in his heart.
"Your Majesty, you are really a broad-minded king." Hearing the emperor's words, Shen Yan took advantage of the situation and sent a high hat.
"You mean that if I hadn't forgiven you, then I wouldn't be a Ming Jun." Hearing Shen Yan's sycophancy, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Xia Qi's mouth, and his mood seemed to be much better.
"How is that possible, the emperor himself is a Ming Jun, a Ming Jun with a broad mind." seemed to feel that the emperor was in a good mood, and Shen Yan's self showed a sincere smile.
"Your Majesty, Wechen made two mistakes on this trip to Lingnan, and I hope that the broad-minded Ming Jun can forgive Wechen's two mistakes." Taking advantage of the emperor's good mood, Shen Yan stated his mistakes to the emperor.
"Stinky boy, you've been doing it for a long time, you're putting a trap on me, huh!" Hearing Shen Yan's words, Xia Qi's eyes showed a touch of majesty, and then a faint smile appeared on his face, if nothing else, just for Shen Yan's feelings that would improve his mood as soon as he came back, he would give Shen Yan a chance to defend himself.
"Say."
"Back to the emperor, Wei Chen's first mistake was to recruit the troops of the White Lotus Sect without the emperor's permission." Feeling the emperor's tone, a faint villain flashed in Shen Yan's eyes.
Wechen didn't want to argue, but he still wanted to explain. At first, Wei Chen didn't expect that he would be able to capture so many White Lotus Sect soldiers in the first battle, and when he really saw so many White Lotus Sect soldiers becoming Wei Chen's prisoners, Wei Chen also thought about killing all these White Lotus Sect soldiers. However, the killing of prisoners is unknown, and it is also against the peace of heaven, and besides, although these soldiers are on the opposite side of the emperor, they are still the emperor's people, but they have been brainwashed by the White Lotus Sect. ā
"Wechen also thought about releasing these surrendered soldiers. But once Weichen releases these surrendered troops, there will be two risks, one is that they may return to the embrace of the White Lotus Sect and go against the emperor again; Second, they may become a problem for local public order, and may even become a destabilizing factor affecting local public order. ā
"It's not to kill, it's not to let go. Wechen was really distressed at the time, but later Wechen's brain opened, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: Since you can't kill or let go, why not choose some soldiers with innocent family backgrounds and whether they have been completely brainwashed by the White Lotus Sect, let them join the Royal Army of Great Xia and truly become the emperor's soldiers. ā
"It is these thoughts that Wei Chen will have the courage to recruit these White Lotus Sect troops." Shen Yan finished talking about the causes and consequences of recruiting the White Lotus Sect to surrender in one breath, and after finishing speaking, a pitiful look appeared in his eyes, looking at the emperor, as if waiting for the emperor's fate.
"Well, you are really bold, but you are very thoughtful, and for the sake of your loyalty, I will not pursue this matter further." Xia Qi had already thought of Shen Yan's motive for recruiting troops, not the idea of supporting the army and respecting himself in history, and had already forgiven Shen Yan for his bold approach, and then heard Shen Yan's personal explanation, this matter became the credit of Shen Yan's wit and loyalty.
"The second mistake made by Weichen was to leave the Eighteen Princes in Lingnan without authorization." Shen Yan raised his head and glanced at the emperor, and saw that the emperor's eyes showed a look that was really like this, Shen Yan suddenly understood in his heart that the risk of recruiting and surrendering troops had passed, and it would no longer be a reason for others to attack him, so he went on to say that he had made the second mistake.
"You left the old eighteen in Lingnan?" Hearing that Shen Yan actually regarded this matter as his fault, Xia Qi's eyes showed a trace of doubt, and he glanced at Shen Yan indifferently.
"The eighteenth prince went to Lingnan is a request made by Weichen to the emperor. However, when Weichen left Lingnan, he did not receive the emperor's order whether to let the eighteen princes accompany him back to Jinling, coupled with the problem of corruption in Lingnan County, although this is not within the scope of Weichen's authority, but when it comes to corruption, which affects the foundation of Great Xia, Weichen can only let the eighteen princes investigate. In order to prevent someone from secretly disfavoring the Eighteen Princes, Weichen left another Jinyi School loyal to the emperor to protect the Eighteen Princes. ā
"Your Majesty, Weichen has not considered this matter properly, and I hope that the emperor will condemn him." After Shen Yan finished speaking, he knelt down again with a bang, his head lying on the ground, as if waiting for the emperor's fate.
"Alright, you're up." Seeing Shen Yan's loyal appearance, the emperor had no way to blame Shen Yan in his heart, originally, there was no problem with Shen Yan's arrangement, the only problem was that the old eighteen were too young and could not be the opponent of a person who had been in officialdom for a long time.
"Your Majesty, before Weichen left Lingnan, he handed over some of the criminal evidence investigated to the eighteen princes for processing, as long as the eighteen princes verified the authenticity of these criminal evidences, they could submit the excerpts to the emperor, and finally the emperor decided by decree." Seeing the emperor's demeanor, Shen Yan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
To tell the truth, Shen Yan can almost guess the emperor's thoughts, but when it comes to Xia Yuanxu, Shen Yan can't guess the emperor's thoughts, so Shen Yan has always been cautious in this matter.
"Although Lao Eighteen is a little younger, he is already an adult, and there are some things that he really needs to face alone, and no outsider can help him with these things." Hearing Shen Yan's words, Xia Qi was silent for a moment, with a complicated look in his eyes, and after a long time, Xia Qi sighed softly.
