"Lord Gu really deserves to be a veteran of officialdom, he knows what to say, what not to say, and only half of what to say." Hearing that Gu Chaoru was actually hanging himself with words, a bright smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and he glanced at Gu Chaoru indifferently, and said slowly with a hint of a smile that was late for you.

"This official is talking about experience, if everything is said so straightforwardly, how can this official get to this position today." Hearing Shen Yan's praise, a touch of pride appeared on the corner of Gu Chaoru's mouth, and he laughed loudly.

"This official really has no experience, and this official can get to this position today, everything is rewarded by the emperor." A hearty smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, as if he was appreciating Gu Chaoru's words, and as if he wanted to declare his position.

"Who in the whole Great Xia officialdom doesn't know that Lord Shen has won the emperor's favor." Hearing Shen Yan's emotion, Gu Chaoru thought that Shen Yan was showing off, and he seemed to be sighing, so he followed Shen Yan's words and said slowly.

"Yes, the vast majority of officials in Great Xia know that this official can only have today's dignity because of the emperor's honor, so how can this official be sorry for the emperor." A faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and there was a determined look written in the smile, he glanced at Gu Chaoru and said loudly.

"What do you mean?" Hearing Shen Yan's words, Gu Chaoru felt inexplicable for a while, and suddenly didn't grasp the meaning that Shen Yan's words really wanted to express, a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes, he glanced at Shen Yan, and asked loudly.

"The official has no other meaning, he just wants to tell Lord Gu, Lord Gu's sentence that thousands of miles for an official is only for money is not suitable for this official, saying that this official is not for money, that is a lie, no one does not love money, however, a gentleman loves money in a good way, so that the official can be worthy of the emperor's respect and trust." A faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, glanced at Gu Chaoru, and said loudly.

Shen Yan understood what Gu Chaoru's intention was when he said this, it was nothing more than to pull himself into the water and become a person like him, if he really did this, then he would be led by Gu Chaoru's nose, thus making him the biggest winner.

Although Shen Yan is not a person with supreme morality, he also knows very well in his heart that there are some things that can be done, some things that can be touched but cannot be penetrated, and some things that cannot be touched, such as the trap that Gu Chaoru threw to himself, if he really did what Gu Chaoru said, not to mention whether the emperor would severely punish him, the hurdle in Shen Yan's heart also stepped over. This is Shen Yan's original intention to stick to himself.

People live in this world, there will be many kinds of evaluations, some people will laugh at you, some people will envy you, some people will hate you, some people will be jealous of you, some people will look down on you, and some people will misunderstand you. No matter what kind of evaluation you encounter, it doesn't matter, it is impossible for a person to satisfy everyone, let alone please others in order to get the satisfaction of others, or even lose your heart for this. Everyone should have principles, and what others see as you is not the real you. Different angles will have different visions, resulting in different views, so no matter what kind of temptation you face, what kind of evaluation, as long as you maintain your own heart. This is Shen Yan's requirements for himself and the principle that he has been trying to adhere to.

And this insistence has won the emperor's appreciation and praise, and it is also the pure heart that the emperor has always praised. Only in this way can Shen Yan feel the meaning of his existence in this world, otherwise, he is really like a spectator, slipping away in a hurry.

"Lord Shen has always teased the official?" Hearing Shen Yan's words, a touch of annoyance flashed in Gu Chaoru's eyes, he has a wealth of experience, and he was actually played by Shen Yan, if this spreads, wouldn't it make others laugh and lose their big teeth.

"If Lord Gu thinks here, the official also feels that it is understandable, from the beginning, the official and Lord Gu are destined not to be all the way, what Lord Gu asks for is nothing more than the word fame and fortune, and what the official wants is a kind of persistence, a kind of insistence on the heart." Shen Yan didn't care about Gu Chaoru's eyes on him at all, although Gu Chaoru was an old minister, however, there were already some rotten things in his bones, especially in order for Shen Yan to gain more power and protect Qiu Yingxue and others, Shen Yan had to continue to step on an opponent like Gu Chaoru, otherwise, once an opponent like Gu Chaoru fought back, then Shen Yan would lose very badly, even his own life.

"Lord Gu may think that the official is stupid, however, the official believes that fools have stupid blessings, and the official will not deliberately beg others because he wants to gain more power, nor will he deliberately seek wealth in order to get a better standard of living, these are very simple things to say, and it is easier to do, but the official will not touch these bottom lines."

"Lord Shen, don't pretend to be high, you can't beg the emperor, the emperor will appreciate you so much, so as to continue to promote you, only since the emperor ascended the throne, which courtier can reach the realm of Lord Shen, and in the rest of the month, he has achieved the three important members, and more importantly, he wears many hats, and he has mastered some confidential departments." Hearing Shen Yan's words, a look of mockery appeared on the corner of Gu Chaoru's mouth, Shen Yan was still an extremely hypocritical person, obviously wanting to gain more power, and pretending to be a gentleman.

"If Lord Gu thinks so, he doesn't want to defend anything, because to explain to a stubborn person, no matter how much he says, it will be useless, because he already has his own opinions in his bones, and he can't listen to anyone's words, although Lord Gu is not a stubborn person, but he has already given a definition to this official in his mind, and this official wants to overturn this definition in the mind of Lord Gu is the same as explaining to a stubborn person." A hearty smile flashed at the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and he didn't care about Gu Chaoru's evaluation of him at all.

As the saying goes, different ways do not conspire with each other, and Shen Yan and Gu Chaoru have already become rivals in life and death, how can Shen Yan be the trap thrown by Gu Chaoru.

"Lord Shen, this official still underestimates you." Hearing Shen Yan's words, Gu Chaoru's eyes showed a complicated look, and at this moment, Gu Chaoru really understood that Shen Yan was a strong opponent on the other side, even if he understood that Shen Yan dared to use the Eighteen Princes as a gunman, he still didn't pay enough attention to Shen Yan.

Using the prince as a gun can be understood as Shen Yan's courage, but having courage does not mean that he has strategy, but in his words with Shen Yan, Gu Chaoru understood that Shen Yan not only has courage, but also has more strategy, no wonder he can easily defeat the powerful White Lotus Sect, no wonder he can get the emperor's respect and appreciation, all this is not accidental, but Shen Yan's own efforts have been rewarded.

If you don't have enough wisdom, not only will you not be able to uncover Shen Yan's plan, but you will even be tricked by Shen Yan, this is Shen Yan's wisdom, and it is also Shen Yan's plan, a young opponent who makes Gu Chaoru feel shocked and scared.
