"Shen Yan, my third small regret is that none of these princes can understand my intentions, and none of them can inherit my country, if I hand over the foundation of Great Xia to any of these princes, even if he is the best, he will destroy the inheritance passed down from his ancestors, when I think of this, I can't sleep well." Xia Qi's eyes suddenly flashed a trace of helplessness and sadness, although he is not the founding king, but his feat is no worse than the founding king, although he has created a prosperous world, but no successor has become the most headache for himself.

Xia Qi has been conniving at these princes in the court over the years, and tolerating these princes to come together with the power of the family, just hoping to find an heir among these princes, even if it is a little satisfying to Xia Qi, Xia Qi will do his best to teach each other, so that he can become a qualified prince, and he will definitely become a qualified emperor of Great Xia in the future.

Xia Qi didn't think about making the heir more powerful than himself and creating a greater prosperous world, Xia Qi felt that it would be better to have this result, but it was more realistic to hope that the heir could inherit his own inheritance, inherit his own ideas, and strive to maintain the existing prosperity.

Xia Qi knew in his heart that if he wanted to do better than himself, it was almost difficult to break through in internal affairs, and he could only solve the three mountains that Shen Yan had said, however, even he had no way to solve them, so these three mountains were just like Shen Yan said, they needed time to slowly dissolve, or they could be forcibly destroyed by force, but this was only temporary, and after the destruction, new forces and interest groups would inevitably arise to continue to maintain the three mountains.

To be honest, Xia Qi didn't pay too much attention to the three mountains and solutions proposed by Shen Yan before, after all, Xia Qi's trust in Shen Yan has not yet reached the current level, and how old Shen Yan is, and he has no experience in politics, being able to put forward the views and solutions of the three mountains does show that Shen Yan is talented, but it is only talented, and it is impossible to rely on this talent to make Xia Qi unconditionally support or implement some of Shen Yan's political theories.

However, after experiencing some friction of trust, as well as some of Xia Yuhan's attitudes towards Shen Yan, including Shen Yan's influence and change in some of Xia Yuanxu's life trajectories, Xia Qi's views on Shen Yan have also quietly changed. Shen Yan is talented and has won Xia Qi's appreciation, and it has an unusual significance for Xia Qi's special love and guilt for his children, so Xia Qi's feelings for Shen Yan will also be tilted on the scale.

"Your Majesty, the matter of the prince is both a family affair and a state affair, and the qualifications of the ministers are too shallow, and they do not have any suggestions and rights to speak on the matter of the prince." Hearing that Xia Qi finally mentioned the matter of the prince, Shen Yan's heart sighed slightly, at the beginning when Xia Qi mentioned to himself that the prince was his third small regret, Shen Yan was worried that Xia Qi would mention this matter to himself, but it turned out that he really mentioned it, and Shen Yan didn't know what to say.

"I know the worry in your heart, the prince can't be easily established, and if he is established, he can't be easily changed." A helpless look appeared at the corner of Xia Qi's mouth, and several princes who had the ability to win the heir had always been in their own evaluations. However, if these people are purely based on their ability, Xia Qi is really not too worried about whether they can bear the foundation of Great Xia. It's a pity that for their own interests, in order to crush their opponents in the succession and win the final victory, they just conflicted with Xia Qi's philosophy, they chose to cooperate with the family, and even became an important channel for the family power to erode the power of the imperial court.

Although these princes have not exposed any signs of cooperation with the family, however, since the scandal of the third child in Huaibei County broke out, Xia Qi felt extremely sad and disappointed with the third child, and at the same time, he also put the energy of the investigation on the other princes who took the heir, but I don't know if I don't investigate, none of these princes are clean, they are more or less related to the strength of the family, but the strength of the family chosen is different.

If you have to say that any of these princes have nothing to do with the family, maybe there are only some princes at the bottom of the ranks, however, these princes show a humble and gentlemanly style, and even full of benevolence and morality, but once they are given enough authority, they will go faster than those princes who have the hope of winning the heir, and they will also be faster to throw themselves into the arms of the family.

Among these princes of Xia Qi, only the old eighteen are the ones who really have nothing to do with the family, one is that all the previous families thought that Xia Yuanxu was exiled by Xia Qi, and it was impossible to have a chance to win the heir, so no matter which powerful family looked down on Xia Yuanxu. And after Xia Yuanxu met Shen Yan and there was an obvious change, some families may have realized the value of Xia Yuanxu, but unfortunately, these families will not invest in Xia Yuanxu for no reason before Xia Yuanxu shows his edge.

Until Xia Yuanxu stood out from these princes with the assistance of Shen Yan, these families had more or less contact and cooperation with different princes, even if they wanted to re-choose to invest in Xia Yuanxu, the existing princes and their own family forces could not reach an agreement, besides, more importantly, Xia Yuanxu's growth was under Shen Yan's dazzling light, everyone knew that Xia Yuanxu's rise was inseparable from Shen Yan, and people with strength and background wanted to cooperate with Xia Yuanxu, Then you have to consider whether you can accept Shen Yan's conditions in front of you, if you can't accept it, you can only choose to give up or wait silently, waiting for Xia Yuanxu to fall out with Shen Yan.

The previous Xiangzhou Mansion was originally a good opportunity, Xia Qi knew very well why Xia Yuanxu took the initiative to enter the Xiangzhou Mansion, his intention was not simply to prove anything to me, but to use this opportunity to weaken Shen Yan's influence on him, so as to get more people's support, or recruit more talents for his use.

It's a pity that Xia Yuanxu's ideas and starting points are good, but in terms of ability, he obviously has fundamental ideas, or some feelings of being a master and a little bit of a master, if it weren't for Shen Yan to help Xia Yuanxu clean up the mess, maybe Xia Yuanxu has really become a waste person again, no longer the glorious eighteen princes, and even more stupid than the previous days.

It is true that the failure of Xia Yuanxu's Xiangzhou Mansion is a defeat in strength, but strength and ability can sometimes be equated, if Xia Yuanxu really has this sufficient ability, he will tear a hole in Shen Yan's deployment and Gu Chaoru's deployment, and turn some forces into his own strength, just like Shen Yan forcibly tore apart Gu Chaoru's layout, and pulled Tong Shaohua into his camp, becoming an important force that resolutely supports and supports Shen Yan.

Fortunately, after Xia Yuanxu experienced the blow of Xiangzhou Mansion, he had a clearer understanding of the situation and a new consideration for his talents, and found that it was not impossible to leave Shen Yan, but if he wanted to break through a greater development, he still needed Shen Yan's support and assistance, and it was with this understanding that Xia Yuanxu would obey Shen Yanyan from the beginning.

Xia Yuanxu's ability is insufficient, and he is not a suitable candidate for a prince at all, but compared to other princes, Xia Yuanxu will not think about choosing to go with the power of the family in order to achieve his own interests and goals, which is very important.
