"What the hell is Shen Yan messing with?" After Xia Yuanxu left the palace, a strong suspicion flashed in his eyes, and the words that Xia Qi said to him flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help muttering in a low voice.

"Re-turning the old case of the eldest princess and the horse, doesn't Shen Yan know that this old case is a taboo in the heart of the father, although the father did not give any will, but no one in the Manchu Dynasty can guess the father's thoughts, whether it is the father's cronies or those upright ministers, or no one in the Shilin will take the initiative to mention the old case of the eldest princess and the horse in front of the father, it can be said that the old case has become a taboo for the father." Xia Yuanxu couldn't figure out why Shen Yan took the initiative to mention that old case to his father, and more importantly, his father acquiesced to Shen Yan to reopen that old case, could it be that Shen Yan's status in his father's mind was really beyond everyone's expectations, if it was replaced by any courtier, even a certain prince, if he mentioned that old case in front of his father, he would definitely suffer the thunderous anger of his father.

The father's failure to be angry with Shen Yan may be due to his father's forbearance skills, or maybe some of Shen Yan's concepts really speak to a certain string in his father's heart, or maybe his father wants to use Shen Yan's hand to achieve a goal that he can't guess. No matter what these motives and reasons were, although Xia Yuanxu couldn't accept this fact, he could still understand it to some extent, but what made Xia Yuanxu feel extremely shocked and surprised was that his father acquiesced to Shen Yan to set up a task force, and let Shen Yan be the leader of this task force, and at the same time let himself learn from Shen Yan.

Shen Yan, as his own attendant, it stands to reason that he should indeed study hard by Shen Yan's side, but since the Xiangzhou Mansion incident, although Shen Yan and himself have made some amends, but every time in the dead of night, when he thinks of the failure of Xiangzhou Mansion, he can't use himself, he actually made a chess piece of Shen Yan, thinking of this, Xia Yuanxu feels that although he can face Shen Yan directly, he always feels some inexplicable pain in his heart, maybe these will become a depressing thing for his life.

Half a month has passed since Li Chengming went crazy, Li Chengming has been suffering from gains and losses for a long time, people seem to have no energy, the whole is sullen, and there seems to be an evil fire in his body that has nowhere to vent.

"Although the battle of the empire has achieved some success, it will not be easy to win the final victory, so where do I go from here?" Li Chengming's mind flashed some thoughts that bothered him all the time.

Looking back on the first half of his life, there doesn't seem to be anything gratifying. Before ascending to the throne, he lived a submissive and frightened life, and the only thing he could do was to show great filial piety in front of his father and mother, although he was loved by his father, but he was never loved by his mother.

Since ascending to the great treasure, he has never lived a comfortable day, he has never been able to control his own fate, the beloved woman has become someone else's wife, but his wife is not his most beloved person, and he is also worried all day long to beware of the younger brother of Prince Yong, who is classified as the imperial prince, forcing the palace and usurping the throne.

Although these are all family matters, the ministers of the DPRK and China do not buy their own accounts at all, and form gangs, run parties for personal gain, and compete with each other for power and profit, which has caused great obstacles to the internal governance of the empire.

The whole empire knew about Prince Yong's wolf ambitions, and even the queen mother persuaded herself many times to make Prince Yong the emperor's younger brother, if it weren't for the resolute opposition of the emperor's uncle Li Daoqun and some ministers, he had an orthodox coat, and Prince Yong would have been made the emperor's younger brother.

Well, I admit that I am not a Ming monarch, I am not good at internal affairs, and I don't understand military affairs, but as the ruler of the empire, as long as I know how to use people, but except for the emperor's uncle Li Daoqun, Ye Shaowei and a few other people who really think about the empire, other ministers have never had this idea.

Well, I continue to admit that there were riots during my time in power, but these riots were deliberately provoked by people who wanted to subvert their own rule, not that there were serious mistakes in their own internal affairs.

Why don't you understand the truth that the fortress is breached from the inside, but you can't punish these courtiers in large quantities, otherwise, who will help you deal with the government and politics, and how can the history books record you?

In fact, since the outbreak of the War of the Empire, Li Chengming has been thinking about and summarizing every battle that took place in the War of the Empire, why Ye Zhiqiu was able to win every battle, why Ye Shaoyu and others failed one after another, these results and the inducements that led to the results were deeply imprinted in the depths of Li Chengming's mind.

And the battle of the empire is now suffering the most serious test since the founding of the country, the invasion of the three countries, and the armed intervention of other countries, which has never happened since the empire established itself,

After the outbreak of the Imperial War, almost all the forces of the empire were involved, including financial, material and human resources, but these ministers never considered the interests of the empire, and only thought about whether their own interests were lost. How can such a minister help him govern the empire well?

Although the empire had Ye Zhiqiu, the commander of Baisheng, who successively defeated and repelled the forces of the invading country, expelled the Longteng Empire's army from Jiayu Pass, severely curbed the forces of the Dongtai Kingdom and forced it to retreat to Partridge Pass, and forced the Hupan Dynasty army to retreat near Niangzi Pass, the imperial war situation improved slightly.

But this is only a temporary victory.

The Longteng Empire has sent the Second Route Army to Jiayuguan in full gear, the Dongtai Kingdom is accumulating strength to relaunch the offensive, the two armies of the Hupan Dynasty are converging, and other countries are also eyeing the Imperial War at any time through force or politics, these changes will directly affect the Imperial War situation.

These are the external situations that the Empire is facing, and a few more big victories must be won to curb their desires, and then they can be resolved through political negotiations.

However, if the empire continues to fight, or if Ye Zhiqiu is not given greater power, who can guarantee that Ye Zhiqiu will continue to sing all the way?

I also admit Ye Zhiqiu's contribution to the empire, which is an indisputable fact, but Ye Zhiqiu has the right to rule an army of nearly 300,000 and has the internal affairs of a county, and if he takes measures to restrain it, it will affect the situation of the empire; If measures are not taken, it will become a situation that will not be resolved.

I hope that by marrying my cousin to him and constantly meeting his armament requirements, he will know my hard work, and that he will be as loyal to the court and to me as his father. Otherwise, all I do will only satisfy the hidden desires in his heart.

This may be the relationship between the action force and the reaction force that the emperor said.
