Chapter 425: Dream and Reality
"Master Cui, what do you think?" Shen Yan heard Cui Mingshi's inquiry, an indifferent smile appeared in his eyes, and he kept thinking about Cui Mingshi's purpose of finding out whether the eighteenth prince was the ideal successor in the emperor's mind. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info However, countless thoughts flashed in Shen Yan's mind, but he couldn't accurately grasp what Cui Mingshi's motive was?
"Lord Shen's words are full of mystery, although I haven't fully comprehended it yet, I can understand a little from Lord Shen's words, thank you Lord Shen, it's a good thing to be able to turn war with Lord Shen into jade silk." Cui Mingshi heard Shen Yan's rhetorical words, and a look of understanding appeared in his eyes. Although Shen Yan didn't say a word, he could somewhat judge from Shen Yan's demeanor that his guess was right.
Otherwise, why does the emperor want to reuse the eighteen princes at this juncture, and why does he want Shen Yan to protect the eighteen princes, the emperor is creating a new combination, just like the emperor and the emperor back then, paving the way for the eighteen princes to ascend to the throne.
If you want to say that the eighteen princes are useless now, it is not necessarily true, as long as there is an orthodox name, plus the full assistance of some courtiers, even if the current strength is not good, so what, don't forget, the emperor's situation when he ascended the throne is more unbearable than the eighteen princes, and he is still young, although the eighteen princes are not as majestic as the emperor, but the eighteen princes are already adults after all, as long as they don't make mistakes, they can fully believe in Shen Yan, and it is not too difficult to believe that the eighteen princes sit in that position.
So since the emperor trusts Shen Yan so much, and believes that Shen Yan can successfully assist the eighteen princes to sit in that position, what kind of hole cards does Shen Yan have? This is an important factor that bothers or makes Cui Mingshi unable to think of an answer.
Cui Mingshi believes that the emperor does not fight uncertain battles, since Shen Yan was arranged to do this, it must show that Shen Yan has a hole card in his hand that he cannot guess, and this hole card is an important factor for Shen Yan to rise in the court in the future. Only when you understand this hole card can you make your position clear now.
Of course, even if Cui Mingshi can't accurately grasp Shen Yan's hole cards now, it has not affected Cui Mingshi's choice, the reason why Cui Mingshi took the initiative to come to Jinyi School is to come to Shen Yan with a fluke mentality to confirm the conjecture in his heart, and the other is to make a position to Shen Yan.
Although he had already made his position clear to Shen Yan before, it was just to show Shen Yan his position in the Criminal Department, and this time it was to show Shen Yan his future position and choice.
Cui Mingshi knew very well in his heart that the sooner he made his position clear to Shen Yan or to the Eighteen Princes, the more he would be able to get a high-ranking official, of course, it was impossible to directly state his position to the Eighteen Princes in his own identity, and even if he did, the Eighteen Princes would not believe it, so he would find Shen Yan as an intermediary.
Cui Mingshi believes that once the eighteenth prince sits in that position, Shen Yan must be a supreme minister, as long as he can drink a little soup, even if he can't make the first product, the second product will definitely not be able to run.
As for the second grade, at least it is also at the level of a waiter, maybe he performs well, and it is not impossible to get a ministry to do it. Thinking of this, a look of yearning appeared in Cui Mingshi's eyes.
"Lord Shen, whether it is in the Criminal Department or elsewhere in the future, as long as it is useful to get someone from me, please feel free to speak." Thinking of these reasons, Cui Mingshi made his position clear to Shen Yan without any ambiguity.
"Then thank you Master Cui, if there is any difficulty in the future, you will definitely not be polite." Although Shen Yan didn't react to Cui Mingshi's attitude at once, he seemed to feel something from Cui Mingshi's eyes, but he hadn't grasped the core for the time being, even so, it didn't affect Shen Yan's reaction, so when he heard Cui Mingshi's words, a hearty smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and he said loudly.
"Xuanyi, what you said is true?" Yang Manlou's eyes were wide open, full of surprise and incredulity, staring at Yang Xuanyi's eyes, and asked with some excitement.
"Uncle Jiu, Xuanyi can't lie to you." Seeing Yang Manlou's demeanor, a wry smile appeared on the corner of Yang Xuanyi's mouth, he has been following Uncle Nine for so many years, and he has never seen Uncle Nine lose control so much, could it be that this Shen Yan really has such a great magic power, so that Uncle Nine is out of control.
"It seems that I still underestimated Shen Yan's ability, I really didn't expect that the Great Xia Royal Army under his command would defeat the Northern Hu elite, others don't know the identity of the eight hundred Northern Hu elites, but our Yang family is the first family in the world, how can we not know that the eight hundred Northern Hu elites are actually the wolf riders of Beihu, think about the record of the wolf cavalry since its formation, and sweep the entire Saibei, not to mention, even if my Great Xia elite encounters it, it will only be defeated, but what I never expected is that this time the Northern Jackal Cavalry will actually defeat the Great Xia Royal Army." Yang Manlou's eyes already flashed with surprise.
Looking back, thinking about how long it took for the Great Xia Royal Army to be formed, it had such a strong combat effectiveness, if this didn't explain Shen Yan's military talent, the old man really couldn't think of any other reasons. You must know that no matter which army in Great Xia encounters the Northern Jackal Cavalry, there is only one result, and that is a rout, and there has never been a draw, let alone a victory, and it is a complete victory, with this merit alone, Shen Yan will be reused by the emperor.
Even if the soldiers who started out were those 500 soldiers who could not be convinced by the military and the military department, don't forget, these 500 soldiers didn't even buy the accounts of the military department and the military, but why did they buy Shen Yan's face, this has always been our negligence, don't forget, the military department and the military have nothing to do with these people, so they will let them fend for themselves, instead of directly or indirectly doing them, which shows that these soldiers are not easy to mess with. Or that they are worried that the rest of the people will secretly make trouble, and let the situation go beyond their control, it will be more than worth the loss.
"Xuanyi, Uncle Nine is old, and when he heard this exciting news, he pretended to talk to himself." Muttering a lot, Yang Manlou's eyes calmed down a little with excitement, a faint apology flashed in his eyes, he glanced at Yang Xuanyi, and said slowly.
"Uncle Nine is not old, when Xuan Yi heard the news, the whole person was worse than Uncle Nine." A shy smile appeared in Yang Xuanyi's eyes, he used to look down on Shen Yan so much, but as he paid more and more attention to Shen Yan, he found that Shen Yan was really as Uncle Jiu said, and he was really inferior to the other party in some aspects.
Reality has dealt itself a huge blow.
