"Shen Yan, if the old twelve wants to deal with you, he won't give you a chance to sit big at all, let alone wait for you to have more strength before dealing with you, he likes or is used to using crushing methods to deal with you, so as to satisfy his gradually expanding and flashy heart." A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Xia Qi's mouth, he looked at Shen Yan lightly, and groaned a little, but Shen Yan still said more about his style of doing things to the old twelve.

"Therefore, the last time you were assassinated by Zao Wou-ki, it was not necessarily at the behest of the old twelve, and the old twelve may have never attacked you because he didn't care about you when he was patrolling the local area. Of course, this does not exclude the situation you mentioned. Xia Qi's eyes flashed with contemplation, and then added.

"It seems that it is a kind of luck that Weichen has come so far." Hearing Xia Qi's words, although Shen Yan didn't approve of it in his heart, he still showed a bright smile on his face, and said loudly with a hint of self-deprecation.

Shen Yan felt that the Twelve Princes did not attack him not because he was patrolling the place, but because he had some scruples in his heart, and it was estimated that Xia Qi's opinion on this matter, although the Twelve Princes were as good as Xia Qi said, but they had the qualifications to win the heir, and they were still at the top of the ranking, how could the Twelve Princes be the kind of casual person, he would be careful at every step, and he was afraid that every detail would leave a handle because of some small mistakes, once this handle was caught by the opponent, it would be a fatal flaw.

Which of these princes is not a good person, and how can they give such a handle to others, especially Huo Ting'an's living example, therefore, these princes will be serious and meticulous in treating everything, unless they feel that this matter is nine out of ten. Of course, the deployment of Huaibei County by the Three Princes, if it were not for the unexpected factor of Shen Yan because of this, who would dare to say that the deployment of Huaibei County of the Three Princes would not have been successful.

"What about the other princes?" Hearing Shen Yan's self-deprecating words, Xia Qi smiled noncommittally, and then asked.

"After talking about the twelve princes, then it will be the ten princes, ranking sixth in the ranking of the heirs." An indifferent smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, with a refreshing look, and it seemed that he had not received the influence of the six princes and the twelve princes mentioned earlier.

"Old ten?" Hearing this answer, a touch of surprise flashed in Xia Qi's eyes, Xia Qi was not surprised by the previous ranking of the five princes, or in Xia Qi's heart, the order of these five people was indeed according to this, but he didn't expect the old ten to squeeze into the sixth position, and it seems that he doesn't know much about these sons.

"The Ten Princes used Guo Bianxuan to remotely control the privileged department of the Jinyi School, and Weichen only knew since he took over the Jinyi School that both Beijing officials and local officials would have a fear or fear of the Jinyi School, for no more than two reasons, one is the style of the previous Jinyi School, and the other is that these officials will more or less have some deficiencies of one kind or another, so these handles have fallen into the hands of the Ten Princes and have become a means of coercing or controlling these officials." Seeing the surprise in Xia Qi's eyes, Shen Yan also felt a little surprised, Xia Qi didn't know that the ranking of the Ten Princes was so high, or in Xia Qi's mind, the ranking of the Ten Princes would be second only to the Twelve Princes.

"From a certain level, the Ten Princes must have controlled a lot of officials, however, there is no high-level existence among the officials that the Ten Princes really control, these officials either do not have the handle in the hands of the Ten Princes, or the Ten Princes do not dare to confront officials at this level at all, even if the Ten Princes are too domineering and do not know how to forbear, but this does not mean that the Ten Princes are very ignorant, on the contrary, the Ten Princes are very intelligent." When Shen Yan said this, an indifferent smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as he thought before, as a prince, who is a stupid person, but some people are good at forbearance, and some don't want to forbear at all, therefore, the performance state of each prince is different, but the desire in their hearts is the same.

"Maybe these factors add up to make the Ten Princes, who are not bad in strength, be squeezed out to the third position in the second echelon."

"I really haven't looked at Lao Shi before, I have always felt that he is too cold and cruel, and he does not have the bearing that a prince should have, but I didn't expect him to have such good strength." After listening to Shen Yan's analysis, Xia Qi's eyes revealed a complicated look, and he glanced at Shen Yan indifferently with a hint of doubt and incomprehension, and then said slowly.

"What I didn't expect was that people like Guo Bianxuan would come together with Lao Shi, no wonder Guo Bianxuan has been thinking about how to elevate Xu Sanyuan, and no wonder why the reputation of Jinyi School has been so bad over the years."

"No, now that Guo Bianxuan has been taken, and you have taken over Guo Bianxuan's position as the commander of the Jinyi School, in this way, the strength of the old ten must have received a great blow, after all, as you said, the strength of the old ten lies in controlling some officials through the Jinyi School." A look of suspicion suddenly flashed in Xia Qi's eyes, his brows furrowed slightly, and he asked slowly.

"Your Majesty, although Weichen replaced Guo Bianxuan as the commander of the Jinyi School, the officials who received Guo Bianxuan's control before were not purged, and after Weichen took over the Jinyi School, he has also been sorting out some unhealthy tendencies in the Jinyi School, and these officials have not been involved, so the strength of the Ten Princes has not been affected much, if there is any difference and impact, it is the loss of Guo Bianxuan, the middleman." An indifferent smile flashed in Shen Yan's eyes, and he knew in his heart that Xia Qi didn't think of this answer, but didn't turn around for a while.

"If the Ten Princes are not too arrogant, or if they know a little bit of forbearance, in the humble opinion of Weichen, the strength of the Ten Princes will at least rise by one or two rankings, and they may not become the first existence in the second echelon, however, the assumption is just a hypothesis." Shen Yan's eyes flashed with an indifferent look, he didn't feel sorry for the Ten Princes, nor did he feel happy because the Ten Princes were like this, as if he was just saying something that had nothing to do with him.

"I feel the same way. There are too many mistakes made by Lao Shi in Jinling to count, and one of the most influential is to connive at the son of the housekeeper in the mansion to abuse the daughter of a merchant, resulting in the destruction of the merchant's family. When Xia Qi said this, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, a prince with such a superior identity actually did such a shoddy incident, the key is that he didn't clean up his tail, which caused a storm in the city.

"Speaking of which, it was Weichen who gave the final conclusion, it was Wechen who helped the old man Zhou overturn the case, and even arrested the culprit under great pressure, and for the first time, he replaced the punishment with a cane." An embarrassed smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and he seemed a little embarrassed.
