"As for Ye Shaoqing, who you nominated, after a short investigation, I feel that he is fully qualified for the position of commander of the Xiangzhou Mansion." After Shen Yan finished saying his intention to leave Huang Weiqian, he pondered for a moment, glanced at Ye Shaoqing intently, and said loudly with a look of encouragement.

"Thank you for your appreciation and cultivation of the last general, and the last general will definitely live up to your expectations." Hearing Shen Yan praise himself in public, Ye Shaoqing's face remained unchanged, but a brief excitement flashed in his eyes.

Ye Shaoqing, in his early thirties, has the momentum of a young man and the stability of a middle-aged man, from a humble background, step by step from a soldier to today. Of course, if there is no secret care from Tong Shaohua, how could a small soldier from a poor family come to this day, but in the past few years, Tong Shaohua has been suppressed by the governor of Huaibei County and the Ling family and the Xu family of Xiangzhou Mansion, so Ye Shaoqing has also received some influence.

Although Ye Shaoqing's body is not marked or branded as Tong Shaohua, as long as Ye Shaoqing does not change his façade or pretend, it is true, as long as he does not invest in Gu Chaoru or Chen Zhi'an's disciples, it is impossible for Ye Shaoqing to take a position in the Xiangzhou Mansion's Xiang Army.

Besides, even if Ye Shaoqing makes this choice, he may not have a chance to take the position, after all, Gu Chaoru and Chen Zhi'an's cronies are not one or two, does one of your latecomers still want to climb faster than those cronies, as long as you dare to climb like this, these cronies will join forces to make Ye Shaoqing look good. What's more, whether it is Gu Chaoru or Chen Zhi'an, before Ye Shaoqing has not gained the absolute trust of the two of them, how can he give Ye Shaoqing a chance, even if he has won the trust of the two of them, it depends on his qualifications.

From this point of view, Ye Shaoqing's road to the top is almost stuck. This is also an important reason why Ye Shaoqing has been particularly low-key in recent years.

To be honest, if Ye Shaoqing was not recommended by Tong Shaohua, Shen Yan would not necessarily pay attention to him, let alone focus on promoting him.

It was precisely for these reasons that Ye Shaoqing would show such a complicated look when he heard the news that Shen Yan would promote him to the title of chief.

Someone once said that a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, Ye Shaoqing also has thoughts and thoughts in his bones that he wants to be on top, but he has been suppressed all these years, Ye Shaoqing once thought that he might only stop here in his life, but he never thought that Ye Shaoqing still had a chance to be on top.

"Okay, these loyal words will be said later, I am like this, as long as you have the ability and can do things sincerely, why can't I give you this opportunity, I am not doing this for personal gain, but also recommending suitable talents for the country." Seeing Ye Shaoqing's brief complicated look, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and it seemed that he didn't take his promotion seriously at all.

It is true that at the point of Shen Yan, it is indeed a casual word and behavior to promote others, but it is not the same thing when it falls on the head of the person who is promoted, but the other party feels that this is a kind of appreciation and trust for himself, and it is also a recognition of himself, and even a kind of consciousness of the death of a confidant. Of course, those white-eyed wolves that can't be raised are not in this range.

"Xiangzhou Mansion is the capital of Huaibei County, but there is no war at the moment, and the Xiangzhou Mansion Xiang Army has been rectifying in the past two days, so I plan to take the Xiang Zhou Mansion Xiang Army to Lingnan, one can continue to rectify, and the other can also let the soldiers of the Xiang Army experience the baptism of war, so that they can understand what the real war is, don't get a group of dirt buns who only know how to dance knives and guns, once they encounter a war, they will panic." Although there was a faint smile in Shen Yan's eyes, there was a hint of seriousness in his words.

Shen Yan said these words not because he looked down on the Xiang Army, but because he felt that it was necessary to change the thoughts of the Xiang Army, although the White Lotus Sect had reached some kind of agreement with him, but after experiencing the impact of the White Lotus Sect, the shortcomings of the Xiang Army were very obvious, and Shen Yan felt that the Xiang Army would definitely be able to go to the battlefield in the future, so he would let these Xiang Army enter the role in advance.

As soldiers, whether it is the first line, the second line, or even some reserves, they should experience the baptism of war, so that they can grow up strongly, not in case they want to send these soldiers to the battlefield, they will only become cannon fodder and become a burden.

Although Shen Yan didn't know very well whether these Xiang troops would have a chance to go to the battlefield, Shen Yan had a very strange feeling that there would always be a wide-ranging civil war in Great Xia, and its source was likely to be the result of the current princes' seizure of succession.

Shen Yan also knew very well in his heart whether a civil war would occur, and the prerequisite was whether the emperor could eliminate these hidden dangers before leaving office. Maybe the emperor already has this understanding in his heart, but he can't be ruthless, after all, the tiger poison does not eat children, the emperor may have a layer of consideration in his heart, the test of the successor's ability, as for whether it will affect the development of Great Xia, the prerequisite is whether Beihu has the ability to take advantage of the situation.

The current Beihu does have this strength, and at the same time, this idea has been unconcealed, however, many people in the court feel that the great war thirty years ago has hurt the foundation of Beihu, and Beihu does not have such strength at all, and even the emperor has this tendency in his heart.

To tell the truth, whether it is the emperor or most of the officials in the court, it is very normal for them to have such thoughts, how many people can reach the realm of being born in sorrow and dying in peace, or how many people can worry about the world first, even if the Great Xia was a miserable victory in the great war thirty years ago, but this is the glory of Great Xia after all, and it is nothing to immerse yourself in it.

Who hasn't had a time to remember the past, but once this remembrance comes to national affairs, it seems a little unable to keep up with the pace of progress. However, Shen Yan couldn't stop the development of this trend, so he could only try his best to do what he had to do and try to take precautions.

Having said that, Shen Yan didn't want this civil war to really happen in his heart, not how great and noble Shen Yan was, but once a civil war broke out, Shen Yan would definitely be involved, that is to say, there would be no stable life.

Of course, these are all digressions, they are Shen Yan's inner thoughts, and they will be executed according to this idea. In other words, no matter whether this thing will happen or not, Shen Yan must prepare for this aspect in advance, so as not to be in a hurry after it really happens. In addition to this reason, Shen Yan also needs to have enough strength to protect himself, and the Great Xia Royal Army and the Servant Army are the strength on the surface, while the Wuzhou Mansion Army and the Xiangzhou Mansion Army are on the dark side.

As for the Xiang army in other places, Shen Yan didn't think about getting involved, after all, this involves a power struggle, if his hand is stretched too long, he will definitely show his feet. Moreover, not all local civil officials and military generals can be of the same mind as themselves, and it is already an additional gain to obtain the management rights of Xiangzhou Mansion.
