Chapter 690: Minister
"Father, why does the son feel that the atmosphere is very heavy, could it be that something big happened?" Xia Qi's mind kept circling whether he should reuse Shen Yan's truth, and Xia Yuhan's voice like a yellow bird sounded in Xia Qi's ears.
"Nothing big happened, I'm just thinking that my princess Yuhan has grown up, it's time to find a satisfactory colt for you, I don't know if Princess Yuhan has a sweetheart in her heart, if I don't have me, how about finding a young man with a clean family affair and a talented young man for you?" Seeing that it was Yuhan who walked in with light steps, Xia Qi's eyes flashed with a hint of love, and the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, and he couldn't help but have a teasing look.
"Father, the son is still young, even if the son grows up, the son doesn't want to get married, he just wants to stay by his father's side and talk to his father every day." A hint of shyness flashed in Xia Yuhan's eyes, he lowered his head slightly, and said coquettishly.
"Stupid words, although you are my daughter, but after all, you are a daughter's family, after all, you have to get married, if you don't marry, then there will be no rumors in the world, saying that no one wants my baby daughter, isn't this a serious face-shaping, and you're also shaving." Hearing Xia Yuhan's words of such a little girl's heart, a look of love appeared on the corner of Xia Qi's mouth, and he said slowly.
"I'm already sorry for Yuwei, I don't want to be sorry for you anymore."
"Sister Yuwei is very good, she talks and laughs with me on weekdays, and there is nothing bad about it." A trace of doubt flashed in Xia Yuhan's eyes, and he didn't quite understand the meaning behind Xia Qi's words.
"You're too innocent. You don't understand Yuwei's suffering, only if you experience it, you may understand. Xia Qi sighed softly, a look of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
"Father, although the son is stupid, he also understands that what you just said is just a joke, there must be some problem that makes the father embarrassed just now, it is better to tell the son to listen, although the son has no solution, but he can also share some troubles for his father." A faint smile appeared at the corner of Xia Yuhan's mouth, a sly look flashed in his eyes, and he met Xia Qi's gaze and said softly.
"Originally, this is a matter of government affairs, but if you want to hear it, I just don't have other affairs to deal with, so I might as well tell you about it." Xia Qi knew that Xia Yuhan had some feelings for Shen Yan, but this emotion was not clear, or Xia Yuhan himself didn't know, he only knew that he liked to hear about Shen Yan very much, since this was the case, then tell her about it, first, so that he could understand Shen Yan better, and second, maybe he could also say some reasonable suggestions.
"Father, the son doesn't understand this, but the son feels that Shen Yan shouldn't have any bad intentions, all of this is just that Shen Yan wants to share his father's worries." After listening to Xia Qi's account of speculation, Shen Yan signaled Yao Mengxian to publicize the fact that the children of the three families of Yang Wang and Cui had joined the White Lotus Sect, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Xia Yuhan's mouth, and he met Xia Qi's slightly expectant eyes and said slowly.
"Yuhan, why do you have such thoughts?" Hearing Xia Yuhan's point of view, a touch of contemplation flashed in Xia Qi's eyes, could it be that his daughter's feelings for Shen Yan had reached such a deep level, otherwise, how could she speak for Shen Yan so much.
"This is very understandable, if Shen Yan wants to hide anything from his father, then he will definitely not tell his father his speculation, let his father continue to keep him in the dark, and then he will do it again, then he will get greater benefits. And now he told his father about these speculations, and at the same time did not tell his father about his future moves, it can only be said that Shen Yan wants to share his father's worries and solve problems. Xia Yuhan smiled slightly and continued.
"The family has always been pressing on our royal mountain, even if it is as strong as the father, there is nothing to be done about these families, the father and the family have clashed several times, although there is a chance to win, but in the end it did not eliminate the influence of the family, and as the father said, the father did not think of a countermeasure to the children of the Yang Wang Cui three families to join the White Lotus Sect, which means that this matter is very difficult to deal with, and if it is not done well, it will suffer a huge backlash."
"If the father knows this, what should the father do with Shen Yan, whether to punish Shen Yan according to the coercion of these families, or to protect Shen Yan from harm, no matter how the father chooses, it is very difficult and a headache, Shen Yan is thinking of this, so he is reluctant to tell his father about these tricks, the purpose is to bear this pressure alone, such a man is a man who stands up to the sky, and he is also a good minister of his father, and he is more reliable than those who deceive me in the court." When Xia Yuhan said this, a strange brilliance flashed in his eyes, and his daughter's thoughts were perfectly displayed on her white and flawless face.
"Besides, Shen Yan still has the eighteenth brother by his side, although the eighteenth brother didn't perform well before, but now the eighteenth brother's performance is completely remarkable, if Shen Yan really wants to hide something from his father, the eighteenth brother should be able to feel it."
"Yuhan is worthy of being my daughter, if you are a man, I want to make you the prince, but unfortunately you are a daughter." After listening to Xia Yuhan's words, a bright light flashed in Xia Qi's eyes, and some of the gloom in his heart suddenly dispersed, perhaps he was too sensitive to the deception in the court, and he was looking at Shen Yan's later moves with some extreme ideas, and forgot Shen Yan's innocent heart towards himself.
"Erchen doesn't want to sit in the position of his father, every day he sees his father working so hard, Erchen feels tired and panicked, and Erchen is not far away to face those officials in the court." A sweet smile appeared on the corner of Xia Yuhan's mouth, glanced at Xia Qi, and said sweetly.
"You think it's sinful, but those brothers of yours have their eyes on it." A faint smile appeared on the corner of Xia Qi's mouth, looking at Xia Yuhan, who was somewhat innocent.
"Not exactly, at least Brother Eighteen doesn't have such an idea." The corners of Xia Yuhan's mouth raised slightly, and he said with some disagreement.
"How did you know that Old Eighteen didn't have this idea?" A bright light flashed in Xia Qi's eyes.
"What the eighteenth brother said, he said that the biggest wish of this generation is to be loved by his father, to learn something from Shen Yan's side, and to do things for his father." A sweet smile appeared on the corner of Xia Yuhan's mouth.
"Brother Eighteen must be very happy now."
"His wish has come true, is there no next wish?" Xia Qi looked at Xia Yuhan with a thoughtful look, as if he wanted to see from Xia Yuhan's eyes whether Xia Yuhan was talking to Lao Eighteen.
If Xia Yuhan really helped, it would mean that Lao Eighteen also had a huge dream hidden in his heart, but he didn't have a chance before, and now all the other princes have been driven to the place by me to inspect, and he is the only one who stays in Jinling, which is a huge opportunity for him.
Of course, although Lao Eighteen has this opportunity, his foundation is very weak, no, it can be said that his foundation is almost zero. If he had to say that there was any foundation, it could only be said that he had learned something from Shen Yan. It's a pity that these can't help Lao Eighteen at all.
You must know that if you want to gain a foothold in the court, there must be two conditions, the first is my acquiescence and recognition. Without my approval, no matter how talented you are, no matter how much you have dreams in your heart, you can't really stand in the court, just like those princes who put their hands into the court, without my acquiescence, can their hands stretch so long?
Second, it is necessary to have a certain team. If the old eighteen can sit in this position of me, but there is no team of his own, just relying on these people in the existing court, the old eighteen's orders will not be able to leave the palace, of course, I can find a few ministers for him, but this is not reliable, and the ministers can also become ministers.
