Chapter 680: Fighting Wisdom
"Wonderful, indeed wonderful." A hearty smile appeared on the corner of Cui Shaonian's mouth, met Shen Yan's confident gaze, and applauded indifferently.
"Lord Shen, you can surmise that this is enough to show that your wisdom is absolutely first-class, I am willing to bow to the upper hand, and I am not inferior to the Generalissimo and the Sect Master." A faint smile appeared in Cui Shaonian's eyes, mixed with some complicated looks, and said slowly.
"However, all this is Lord Shen's speculation, a bold speculation, and there is no basis to explain that we are the children of the family and the bureau laid down by the three princes. Even if Lord Shen finds relevant evidence, what can he do with the three princes and what can he do with us children of the family? Lord Shen wouldn't think of taking this opportunity to bring us down, if Lord Shen really had this idea, I would advise Lord Shen to be more sensible. ”
"Oh, looks like you've got me covered." When Shen Yan heard Cui Shaonian's words, a look of indifference appeared in his eyes, and he glanced at Cui Shaonian with a hint of ridicule, and said slowly.
"You can understand it that way." A look of disdain flashed in Cui Shaonian's eyes.
"Indeed, no matter what kind of evidence I find, I can't defeat the Third Prince, who not only has considerable influence in the military, but also has a lot of games in Jinling, and he always makes the most comprehensive plan. Besides, the third prince is the identity of the prince, and I am just a poor son of the royal family who was willing to help him up, and in terms of kinship, even if the emperor has some thoughts about the three princes, he will not act on my evidence. A faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, glanced at Cui Shaonian, and said slowly.
"As for you children of old families, even if I find evidence, you will lay out in advance, and even before my evidence is exposed, you will implement the next move, and with your ability, you will definitely be able to do this. Besides, even if you old families don't do this, as long as you make a public statement, saying that you are acting privately and have nothing to do with the family, even if the emperor wants to seize this opportunity, there is nothing he can do. ”
"Although the emperor is very strong, but in the past ten years, the emperor has been in Taoguang and obscurity, and has been reflecting on the means of the family, relying on force to suppress it alone is a palliative but not a cure, and your family has always advocated a thousand-year-old dynasty of a thousand-year-old family, so you don't worry about what means the emperor has at all, and even wish that the emperor would use some means, so that you can get greater benefits from it." A hint of wisdom flashed in Shen Yan's eyes, and he said indifferently.
"What you said is right, so even if you catch me, it will not be a miracle for you, but a big trouble, not only your big trouble, but also a big trouble for the emperor, if you hold on to this matter too much, the road behind you will be even more difficult." Cui Shaonian's eyes flashed with a look of confidence, a small son of a poor family dared to fight with an old family, even the emperor did not dare to act so recklessly.
"Looks like you're sure you're going to eat me." Hearing Cui Shaonian's confident words with a hint of domineering, Shen Yan not only felt annoyed, but on the contrary, a faint smile flashed in his eyes and said slowly.
"Aren't you curious about what I do with you?"
"Curious? You have no right to dispose of me. Cui Shaonian's eyes flashed with a look of disdain. Even the emperor did not dare to convict himself easily, although the conviction was painful, but the influence and counterattack of the Cui family should be taken into account.
"I have a good friendship with your brother Cui Mingshi, and I see the excellence and pride of the Cui family's children from his eyes." A light smile flashed in Shen Yan's eyes, and he glanced at Cui Shaonian indifferently.
"He is just the most unsuccessful son of the Cui family, how can a person who only knows the source of the left and right have a good future." Hearing Shen Yan's abrupt mention of Cui Mingshi, Cui Shaonian's eyes flashed with a deep disdain.
"I don't know if he is the most unsuccessful son of your Cui family, but I know that although he is now a member of the Criminal Department, of course, such an official position is nothing to you proud people, but, according to what I pointed out, Cui Mingshi will be promoted to the Criminal Department Langzhong in the next step." A faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and the afterglow of his eyes glanced at Cui Shaonian slightly, and said slowly.
"The criminal department is only a five-grade one." A strange look flashed in Cui Shaonian's eyes, a little jealous and a little unwilling.
"The fifth grade is nothing, for example, I am now the third grade, but you still don't seem to have a grade now, and you still have the hat of the White Lotus Sect on your head, so I don't know if you can take off this hat." Looking at Cui Shaonian's complicated expression, Shen Yan said with an indifferent smile.
"Hmph." A faint hint of anger flashed in Cui Shaonian's eyes.
"Of course, as you said, according to common sense, I really have no right to dispose of you, I should secretly escort you to Jinling and hand you over to the emperor for a secret trial, and after the trial is over, the emperor will decide the fate." A faint smile appeared in Shen Yan's eyes, and he glanced at Cui Shaonian with a hint of slyness, and said slowly.
"However, what you don't know is that before I came to Huaibei County by order, the emperor once said that no matter what kind of people I meet in Huaibei County, as long as it involves the White Lotus Sect, I have the right to deal with it, and I will cut it first and then play it. I don't know if I have such a privilege, can I dispose of you? ”
"Chop before play? How old are you, how long have you been an official, you have reached the third grade, and now you still have the privilege of cutting first and then playing, why does the emperor trust you so much. When he heard that Shen Yan had the privilege of cutting first and then playing, a strange look flashed in Cui Shaonian's eyes. As a child of the Cui family, if you don't know the privilege of cutting first and then playing, you have lived for so many years in vain.
The privilege of cutting first and then playing is a temporary privilege given by the emperor, and the people who have this privilege are all people who are deeply trusted by the emperor, and now the emperor has no more than three people who have this privilege, and Shen Yan, who is so young in front of him, is one of them, how can this not make Cui Shaonian feel jealous and crazy.
"In order to avoid causing greater turmoil and influence, therefore, it is the best choice to behead you secretly, even if it is exposed afterwards, I can completely shirk the fact that the two armies are at war, who knows that one of you is a child of the Cui family actually joined the White Lotus Sect incognito. Besides, even if the people of the Cui family knew that you had your head cut off by me, they would not make trouble with me head-on, at most they would just secretly give me a rope. A confident smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and he glanced at Cui Shaonian with a hint of provocation, and said slowly.
"After I cut you down, I will tell the emperor in a secret fold, saying that the people of the Cui family, the Wang family and the Yang family joined the White Lotus Sect incognito with the intention of overthrowing Great Xia, and with the emperor's wisdom and means of handling government affairs, he will definitely use some yang schemes to deal with you families, don't think that the power of the court is almost divided by the princes, let alone think that you families have already controlled these princes, none of you know how many bureaus the emperor has set up in the past ten years, waiting for you to get in."
"Impossible? The power of the court has been almost divided by the princes, and the princes and our families are complementary to each other, it is an alliance of interests, no matter how wise the emperor is, now he is just a lonely person, which is equivalent to a tiger without claws, what are we afraid of. A look of doubt flashed in Cui Shaonian's eyes, and he still defended himself.
"Finally speak your heart, and this is the root of your audacity, in your hearts, the emperor is already old, and without sharp claws, there is nothing to worry about." Shen Yan said disdainfully.
