"Your Majesty, aren't you embarrassed, you are a strong man. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Shen Yan's face showed a helpless wry smile.

"Your kid doesn't behave like your age at all, too tactful, and not at all bold, like you, how do you make me trust you, how do you do great things for me." Xia Qi's eyes flashed with a hint of banter, and he looked at Shen Yan with a provocative look.

"Your Majesty, do you mean that as long as the minister says it, you will do it for the minister and high-ranking officials? The ministers have little reading, so the emperor should not lie to the ministers. Shen Yan's eyes flashed with a little star, a bargaining look, and he said downhill with a donkey.

"Don't give me this set, hurry up." Xia Qi's eyes showed a hint of sternness, and he looked at Shen Yan majestically, without the slightest emotion.

"Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has done many feats beyond his predecessors, among which the far-reaching influence is to eliminate the eunuchs to gain power, and forcefully suppress the dictatorship of foreign relatives, so the minister is convinced that the emperor's heart has already been determined by these three major influences, and there are ways to crack them, and these are also things that the emperor has been insisting on all these years." Shen Yan knows that everything must have a degree, whether it is a scoundrel, whether it is pretending to be crazy or stupid, he needs a degree, otherwise it will not be effective, but will suffer from trouble, before he expresses his opinion, he might as well give the emperor a high hat.

"Your Majesty, the minister first stated that these three are really unsolvable, or rather, it is not an overnight task to resolve these three major influences, especially the first two, which will require many generations of management and struggle to complete." The corners of Shen Yan's mouth flashed with indifferent confidence.

"Well, I understand all of this, let's be specific." There was a hint of hope in Xia Qi's eyes, maybe this person I met and promoted by chance really had a way to solve the three major influences that had been pressing on my heart.

"Your Majesty, if you want to eradicate the influence of the gate valve, you must do three things, one is to change the system of electing officials, which the emperor has been doing, and the results are also very significant, which has ignited the spark of the imperial examination, but the minister feels that the strength of the imperial examination is not enough, or the current imperial examination is still controlled by the gate valve, after all, they have more educational resources than the cold door, and the current cold door is less than one in ten, and when the proportion of the cold door can reach half, or even more than half, the imperial examination is fully firepower." When Shen Yan said this, he glanced at the emperor secretly, and noticed that the emperor was not displeased, and there was a slight joy hidden at the corner of his mouth, knowing that his opinion did not cause the emperor's dissatisfaction, and he let go of an inexplicable worry in his heart.

"The minister feels that it is impossible to eliminate the influence of the gate valve by relying on the imperial examination alone, and if you want to eradicate the influence of the gate valve, you must take a dose of fierce medicine, which is the flames of war." A smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth.

"War?" A trace of fear flashed in Xia Yuanxu's eyes, and he glanced at Shen Yan weakly.

"War?" Xu Sanyuan's eyes pretended to be a hint of surprise, what kind of thoughts were hidden in this kid's heart.

"War?" Xia Qi's mouth murmured softly, and a trace of doubt appeared in his eyes.

"Yes, the fire. Only the war can destroy the foundation of the gate valve, so that they lose the home they rely on for survival, coupled with commercial suppression, the influence of the gate valve will be completely eliminated. Shen Yan said this, paused for a moment, and a trace of helplessness appeared in his eyes, "The biggest capital of the gate valve is business, if the government can support some businesses to compete with the gate valve, coupled with the attack of the war, the influence of the gate valve will eventually be eliminated." ”

"Supporting businessmen to suppress the gate valve, don't you know the status of Shinong Industry and Commerce, and don't you know that the mastery behind the scenes of the vast majority of businessmen is the gate valve?" A trace of dissatisfaction appeared in Xia Qi's eyes, Shen Yan's idea was very good, but it was extremely difficult to implement, whether it was the imperial examination, the war or the commercial confrontation, it was impossible to eradicate the influence of the gate valve at once.

"So the minister said that if you want to achieve this goal, you can't do it overnight" Shen Yan relieved a trace of worry in his heart, or more precisely, a trace of desire for power in his heart prompted him to sincerely give advice to the emperor. "Your Majesty, what the minister wants to say is to first use the imperial examination to eat away at the foundation, then use the war to cut its branches and leaves, and finally improve the status of the merchant to corrode its trunk."

"Your Majesty, the ministers think that improving the status of businessmen can have several benefits, one is to increase the commercial tax to enrich the treasury, the other is to let the businessmen taste the sweetness, they must be dissatisfied with the gate valve to squeeze them, the third is that the gate valve sees that the status of the businessman has improved and become richer, they will inevitably invest more energy, manpower and force, so as to reduce the impact on the government, and even bow their high heads to the emperor in order to earn more money."

"If we can increase the revenue of the national treasury, it will invisibly increase my strength." After listening to this, Xia Qi bowed his head slightly, his brows tightly locked, and his mind seriously thought about the pros and cons of improving the status of the businessman.

"Let's talk about how to eliminate the influence of low-level officials, clerks, and staff." After pondering for a moment, Xia Qi's eyes flashed with a glimmer of brilliance, and he looked at Shen Yan with a hint of appreciation and encouragement.

"It is very difficult to eliminate the influence of low-level officials, clerks and staff, except for the thousand-year-old family that can slightly affect them, no one has ever been able to fully control this group of people, and the lord of a country has lost control of this group of people throughout the ages, so the minister feels that it is better to change the word and try to control it as much as possible to make them available to the emperor. Of course, there are also many factors involved in this, such as the will of the people, the rectification of officials, and the means. Shen Yan was also a little distressed in his heart, this group of people was still very active no matter what era they were, and they also had a far-reaching influence, and a trace of worry couldn't help but appear in their eyes.

"I understand what you're saying, and I understand your concerns." Xia Qi seemed to see through Shen Yan's worries, a trace of relief appeared on his face, and his eyes also contained worry.

"As for the heir, the emperor, in fact, this matter is often the emperor's private matter. The emperor thinks in his heart that whoever is the right person is whoever he is, and he will not change his decision because of the interference of outsiders. Shen Yan pondered for a moment, as if he was organizing the language, looking for a wording that would make the emperor not angry, "The most the emperor has to consider is whether this heir needs to be kept or pioneered, whether he is a suitable housekeeper or likes nepotism, and so on. ”

"Your Majesty, the gate valve, relatives, and princes are intertwined with each other, and the situation in front of you seems to have reached a balance, but this is not a stalemate."

"Shen Yan, it seems that I still underestimate you, your remarks evoke my memories of my youth, and also trigger my vision for the future." A smile appeared on the corner of Xia Qi's mouth, this Shen Yan in front of him was really impressive, not only explained the pattern of the court, but also said that in my heart, I have known the three mountains on my head since I ascended the throne, and I also know how to resolve them, but no one around me seems to be able to fully guess my thoughts, with my ability and talent, I believe that I can completely control him and will not become a powerful minister who endangers the government.

"Shen Yan, I want to hear how to break the deadlock in front of me?" There was a hint of expectation in Xia Qi's eyes, and he really saw Shen Yan as an old man who had been in politics for many years and had rich experience.

"Your Majesty, you better let go of the minister, how can the minister have this ability." Hearing Xia Qi's inquiry, Shen Yan sighed secretly, a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he played a scoundrel.

"Shen Yan, do you know why I didn't pursue your scoundrel and laughing behavior, I think you are a good seedling, and some words are deeply rooted in my heart, so I have always wanted to give you the opportunity to perform, if you don't cherish it yourself, then don't worry about me turning my face and not recognizing people." Xia Qi seemed to see through Shen Yan's inner thoughts, and a smile appeared on his face, as if an elder was persuading a junior who had gone astray.

"Okay, okay, I know that if I enter the palace today, I will definitely be questioned." Shen Yan seemed to be complaining, and as if he was pouring out some emotion, and muttered in a low voice, "Your Majesty, it is not difficult to break the deadlock, it is difficult to see how many people in the emperor's hands can sincerely do things for the emperor, how many materials are really controlled by the emperor, can the emperor really command the moving army, can command, and what is their real combat power?" ”

"The minister doesn't know this, and he doesn't want to know, so let the minister talk nonsense from an outsider's perspective." It seemed that seeing that Xia Qi wanted to tell Shen Yan these answers, Shen Yan shook his head gently, with a hint of clarity in his eyes, some things are not better for him the more he knows, "First promote some people who are really capable and sincere to the emperor, not necessarily high-ranking officials, as long as they can break the current deadlock in employment." ”

"The emperor must firmly control the operation of the six departments, and for the time being, he must firmly control the officials, the military department and the household department, as for the reason and how to operate, the emperor must know better than the ministers."

"With all that said, I want to hear how you do it." Xia Qi said with interest.

"Your Majesty, you are forcing the ministers to death in the rhythm, you are pushing the ministers to the opposite side of the hundred officials and the prince, as long as the minister says the answer, he will not be drowned by the saliva of the prince and the hundred officials in the future." Until this moment, Shen Yan seemed to have found the true purpose of the emperor's promotion of himself, a trace of sadness and helplessness could not help but appear in his eyes, he pondered for a moment, his face revealed a sad and angry broken jar, anyway, he has nothing, and he is not afraid of being drowned in saliva, in this case, what else do he have to fear.

"The actual controllers of the six departments are all the emperor's family, these things are given by the emperor, the emperor doesn't want to give them, they stretch out their hands and forcibly break the rules, since they break the rules, they should bear a certain punishment, they can be grounded, they can be called the emperor to inspect the border passes, and so on." Now that he has spoken, Shen Yan has no scruples, and his eyes also show a look of determination, "As for the nominal controller of the six departments, it is even simpler, either send it to the locality, or send someone to check their accounts, none of their butts are definitely clean, as for the people below, they can also be reversed by the six departments, so that the good thing is to break the monopoly of the family, and the bad part is to restrain each other, and there may be a risk of falling off the chain at a critical moment." ”
