"I know that Beihu has always been eyeing my Great Xia, but my Great Xia is not so easy to bully, so over the years, Beihu has not launched an offensive against my Great Xia, not even the annual Grass Valley, which shows that Beihu is full of covetousness and fear of my Great Xia's revenge." Xia Qi didn't know in his heart that Shen Yan had roughly guessed his thoughts, and after listening to Shen Yan's words, a strong confidence flashed in his eyes, and with a trace of irresistible look, he said loudly.

"Although Bei Hu has such thoughts, he has never dared to launch an offensive against my Great Xia, which is enough to show that my Great Xia has absolute crushing strength against Northern Hu."

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that this is the reason, but everything is not static, what kind of changes Beihu has undergone over the years, Weichen is not clear, however, Weichen can be inferred from the whereabouts of Beihu Guoshi and his entourage, Beihu has undergone too many changes over the years, and its strength has also made great progress, if I still maintain this high-minded mentality, it will let Beihu find an opportunity, and Beihu is so grandiose to buy my officials in Daxia, Doesn't that explain the problem? Hearing Xia Qi's words, Shen Yan's eyes flashed with a touch of anxiety, although it didn't have much to do with him that Daxia was defeated by Beihu, after all, he didn't belong to this era, he didn't belong here, but the people around him belonged to this era, and they were inextricably linked to here, so he couldn't watch the peace in front of Daxia being destroyed and let the people around him get involved in the war.

"Shen Yan, what you said, to be honest, I understand it in my heart, but I can't tear my face with Beihu in front of me, Daxia doesn't have the strength to fight with Beihu, to be precise, I didn't clean up the family for a day, when I have a confrontation with Beihu, these families will definitely make some small moves behind my back, which is not something I can tolerate, so if I don't clean up the family for a day, I won't launch an offensive against Beihu, and I will silently tolerate some small actions of Beihu." Xia Qi seemed to let go suddenly, and explained some of the thoughts hidden in his heart to Shen Yan for the first time, although it was not complete, but it also revealed some of Xia Qi's thoughts.

"Your Majesty, to be honest, although Wechen has not experienced this, Wechen can really understand the emperor's mood and the true idea of changing his strategy." Hearing Xia Qi's words, a complicated look flashed in Shen Yan's eyes, since ancient times, no emperor would say something heart-wrenching to a courtier, if he did, then this courtier would be executed by the emperor, but looking at the emperor's expression, he didn't seem to have moved his thoughts at all, does that mean that this is just the emperor's unintentional mistake?

"Shen Yan, can you understand my mood?" Hearing Shen Yan's words, a touch of surprise flashed in Xia Qi's eyes.

"Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't understand everything, but he can feel some of it." Shen Yan's eyes flashed with calmness, no matter how Xia Qi wanted to deal with himself after this incident, Shen Yan felt that he would at least have a conscience and no regrets.

"Your Majesty, although things are indeed as the emperor thinks, Weichen is a little disagreeable." After Shen Yan finished speaking, a touch of contemplation flashed in his eyes, and he greeted Xia Qi with a hint of curiosity and surprise, and continued.

"Wechen fully agrees with the strategic deployment of the outside must first settle the inside, do not fear these families, or take back the power of these families, as long as it is carried out with Beihu, these families will definitely make some small moves behind the emperor's back for their interests, however, Weichen feels that if you want to deal with the family, you don't necessarily have to solve it by force, sometimes it is also a good choice to use commercial methods, first to win over and then divide, and then to take back their power from the hands of these families, so that their identities will change dramatically." When Shen Yan said this, he paused for a moment, a faint confidence flashed in his eyes, he glanced at Xia Qi, and then said.

"Although Wechen is not full of poetry and books, and I don't know the details of the history books, but the previous dynasty launched the Tui En Order, Wechen felt that it was a very good normal, the court continued to shrink the fiefs of those princes through the method of Tui En Order, and finally some princes became nominal princes, and no longer have any fiefs, although this is a little different from dealing with the family, but Wechen feels that it can still learn from one or two."

"Oh, you say come and hear it." Hearing Shen Yan mention that the Tui En Decree was used on the family's body, Xia Qi's eyes flashed with a strong curiosity, Xia Qi read poetry and books, and knew the things of the previous dynasty in great detail, and never thought that the Tui En Order could be used like this.

"Your Majesty, if you want to implement the Tui En Order in the family, you can't do it so obviously, now the strength of the family has penetrated into the side of the princes, and has extended its tentacles to the court, if it is too obvious, it will be discovered by the family, so as to block this method in some aspects." Shen Yan did not rush to explain to the emperor, but first said something that needed to be prevented.

"If you want to implement this kind of similar Tui En order in the family, you must first establish your own strength in business, rather than relying entirely on political power to suppress, not to mention whether you can suppress these families, the key is that local officials and the family are inextricably linked, and the relationship between the current family and the princes is also very delicate, so it can only be that the emperor first secretly support some people to develop rapidly in business, and then use this strength to cooperate with the family and divide some of the family's strength, So as to get the family's funds into these businesses supported by the emperor. A faint but confident smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, glanced at Xia Qi, and said slowly.

"Once these families are involved in the emperor's business, then their funds are not in the hands of the emperor, and once the emperor masters their economic lifeline, these people are not used by the emperor, not thinking about how to go against the emperor, and even thinking about some other ideas."

The concept that Shen Yan told Xia Qi was actually Shen Yan's plan to deal with the Zhao family's plan to build a business empire, but he made some simple changes.

"After listening to your words, I realized that I have taken many wrongful paths over the years." After listening to Shen Yan's words, Xia Qi's eyes fell into a deep contemplation, and then he laughed loudly, as if Shen Yan's deafening words made Xia Qi suddenly understand his shortcomings over the years.

And in fact, it is true, Xia Qi has been thinking about eliminating the influence of these families on the court through force or politics over the years, however, the more Xia Qi works, the less obvious the effect is, forcing the family to constantly change its strategy to fight with itself, the family is not a family, but many families are united, even if Xia Qi is wise and martial, but one person is short and three people are long, plus some of the officials in the court are bought by the family, or directly from the family, therefore, Xia Qi can't fight these families at all.
