Chapter 953: The Emperor's Good Intentions
"Shen Yan, some of your practices in Huaibei County are very in line with my thinking, but there are also some things that go beyond my bottom limit, don't think that I can do whatever you want if I give you the power to cut first and then play." Xia Qi cleaned up the messy thoughts in his heart, glanced at Shen Yan indifferently, and then a touch of majesty appeared on his face, glanced at Shen Yan, and said slowly.
"Wechen is terrified." Hearing Xia Qi's words, Shen Yan's face showed a trace of helplessness, knowing that these things couldn't escape Xia Qi's eyes at all, so after hearing Xia Qi's words, Shen Yan immediately showed a sincere demeanor in his clothes.
In fact, Shen Yan never thought that such a thing would hide from Xia Qi's eyes, or rather, Shen Yan deliberately let Xia Qi know, and by doing so, he was telling Xia Qi in disguise that I, Shen Yan, have a handle, and I am also a person with my own selfish thoughts, not the kind of supreme saint.
"You don't have to pretend to me, I don't want to hold you accountable when I tell you this now, if I wanted to punish you, I would have made an order a long time ago, and I won't wait until you return to Jinling to tell you this." Seeing Shen Yan's expression, Xia Qi's eyes flashed with a faint sense of relief, or rather, Shen Yan's current performance made Xia Qi feel very satisfied.
"The emperor is a merciful king." Hearing Xia Qi's words, an indifferent smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and a brief indifference flashed in his eyes, knowing that his strategy was right, and at the same time, a sincere smile bloomed on his face, and he hurriedly sent his kind words.
"Don't be afraid of my sycophants, what kind of person you are, I know very well in my heart." Seeing Shen Yan's expression, Xia Qi shook his head slightly, a faint majesty flashed on his face, and said slowly.
"The matter of Gu Chaoru and Chen Zhi'an, you handled it very properly, not only successfully dismantled the alliance between them, but also allowed you to successfully break up their deployment, and finally you became the biggest winner and successfully took back the power of Xiangzhou Mansion. If someone else does this, it may not be as good as you. Xia Qi glanced at Shen Yan, saw that Shen Yan didn't say anything more, and then said indifferently.
"What makes me feel relieved is that you didn't interfere too much in the local affairs of Xiangzhou Mansion, and handed over the affairs of Xiangzhou Mansion to Tong Shaohua, the governor of Xiangzhou Mansion, which is very good, I was originally worried that you were young and vigorous and would interfere in local affairs. What's even more rare is that you didn't let other prefectures copy the experience of Xiangzhou Mansion. When Xia Qi said this, a bright color flashed in his eyes, the things of laymen leading insiders can be said to be endless, he was originally worried that Shen Yan would be like this, but the reality made him feel very satisfied, although Shen Yan performed unsatisfactory in some aspects, but he was very satisfied in some key places, perhaps it is for this reason that Xia Qi will be so relieved and trust Shen Yan.
"The handling opinions of Xiangzhou Prefecture, and even the handling opinions of Huaibei County, I will do it according to your ideas and suggestions."
"Thank you for approving Weichen's vulgar thoughts." Hearing Xia Qi's words, Shen Yan exhaled softly, knowing that some of his affairs in Huaibei County had already been solved for the most part.
"You are very good in all aspects, and you are very relieved to do things, but you shouldn't have anything to do with Huo Ting'an, or you should have a fight with him." A complicated look flashed in Xia Qi's eyes, he glanced at Shen Yan indifferently, and said slowly.
"Your Majesty, Weichen ......" Hearing Xia Qi mention Huo Ting'an, Shen Yan's eyes flashed with a touch of surprise, although he knew that Huo Ting'an was the nephew of the late queen, and the emperor also had some other aspects of Huo Ting'an's emotions to make up for or pass on, but what Shen Yan didn't expect was that the conflict between himself and Huo Ting'an was because he exposed Huo Ting'an's collusion with the White Lotus Sect in Huaibei County, and then Huo Ting'an didn't listen to the emperor's will and secretly ran to Huaibei County to kill him. I never thought about taking the initiative to provoke Huo Ting'an, I was a little dizzy with this pot.
"There is no need to explain anything, Huo Tingan is the queen's nephew after all, the queen is no longer there, as the queen's only nephew, I don't want him to have any problems, and I don't want you to have any disputes or unpleasant things with him." Xia Qi glared at Shen Yan and interrupted what Shen Yan wanted to explain.
"This incident has happened, I have also issued a grounding order, without my will, Huo Ting'an is not allowed to leave the mansion, so you should not trouble him in the future."
"Wechen obeys." Shen Yan heard that Xia Qi was so partial to Huo Ting'an, and a helpless smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of his mouth, he thought that he had a very big status in the emperor's mind, but through the emperor's words just now, he woke up Shen Yan's somewhat swollen mind in his heart, which was equivalent to giving Shen Yan a wake-up call, so that Shen Yan no longer conceited that his status in the emperor's mind was so high, high and low are relative, not the only constant.
"Your Majesty, even if Wechen wants to trouble him, the premise is that Wechen can beat him, the last time Wechen almost broke his hand, if it wasn't for the timely arrival of the ringer, Wechen might have been sleeping in that landscape by now." Although he felt that the emperor's words were superfluous, in order to ensure his own safety, or to make the emperor more at ease, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth and said slowly.
"I've also heard about this matter, but the ringer told me afterwards that your potential is greater than Huo Ting'an's, and although you are not Huo Ting'an's opponent now, it doesn't mean that you will never be Huo Ting'an's opponent." A trace of bitterness flashed in Xia Qi's eyes, he was the king of a country who actually talked to Shen Yan about this, or it was equivalent to forcing Shen Yan to swear not to make any trouble with Huo Tingan in the future, and he also hoped that Huo Tingan and Shen Yan could understand their good intentions.
"Besides, I know very well your way of dealing with the world, for example, in order to deal with the Zhao family, you actually risked your life to go to Huaibei County, so as to gain greater strength and influence, about going to Huaibei County to clear the White Lotus Sect, outsiders think that this is my will, but in fact, your crazy idea, it just so happens that I really need you to go and test it, and the result is really your wish, and it also meets my expectations."
"In order to deal with the Zhao family, you can be so crazy, so when your strength is enough, or when the time is ripe, you will definitely look for an opportunity to find trouble with Huo Ting'an."
