"Shen Yan, if I just said that if the secret spy is really like what you said, how do you say I should deal with the secret spy?" Xia Qi's eyes flashed with a look of uncertainty, and he glanced at Shen Yan lightly, as if he wanted to see from Shen Yan's expression that all this was just Shen Yan's illusion.

"Your Majesty, no, Weichen is not a crow's mouth, he rinses his mouth with salt water every morning and evening, so his mouth is not so smelly, right?" Hearing Xia Qi's words, Shen Yan's eyes widened, as if he was shocked by Xia Qi's words.

"Your Majesty, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, although Gonggong Xu has the title of the leader of the secret spy, but there are other people who really preside over the affairs of the secret spy, they are not under absolute control, and at the same time they have supreme power, people's hearts are changing, or it is easy to reach a so-called alliance with some other like-minded people." After Shen Yan laughed at himself lightly, a positive color flashed in his eyes, and his expression became a little serious, and he said slowly.

"So, you mean that the spies have long since gone sour, or that something strange has already arisen in their minds?" Hearing Shen Yan's words, a hint of suspicion flashed in Xia Qi's eyes, and he said slowly with a look of uncertainty.

"Your Majesty, what Weichen said is an assumption, and things shouldn't be as bad as Weichen's." Shen Yan's eyes also flashed a look of uncertainty, people's minds changed, under the premise of no absolute control and constraints, it is really hard to say whether the secret spy can still maintain the previous atmosphere.

"If you want to know if the secret spy has changed, you just need to test it."

"Oh, is there any way to give it a try?" Hearing Shen Yan's words, a bright color flashed in Xia Qi's eyes, and he said slowly with a hint of indifferent interest.

"Send a secret spy to carry out a mission, and this task is related to some families or princes, look at the results of the secret spy, if the secret spy can handle it impartially, although it is not necessarily certain whether the secret spy has changed, but at least you can find clues from some of the style of the secret spy, so as to judge whether the secret spy has changed his mind."

"Oh, it works." Although Shen Yan did not say a specific task, the wise Xia Qi clearly felt from Shen Yan's words that Shen Yan's proposal of this method was very feasible, or that at the realm of Xia Qi, Shen Yan's casual words could make him comprehend something that others could not comprehend for a while.

"Regardless of whether the spy has changed his mind or not, through this matter, I feel that I should reward you well, but you have not yet been rewarded for your great military exploits in Huaibei County, if I reward you now, those guys in the military department and the official department will definitely grasp this matter, and then want to shrink your reward, therefore, I will write down your reward for the time being, and I will reward you again after the military department and the official department have decided on your Huaibei County war exploits." Xia Qi's eyes flashed with an indifferent look, as if he didn't feel embarrassed that he had relied on Shen Yan's reward.

"Wechen thanked the emperor." Hearing Xia Qi's words with some scoundrels, Shen Yan suddenly felt helpless, the emperor can play a scoundrel, he can't pull the emperor's clothes and reprimand him fiercely.

"It's good that you know the righteousness so well." Seeing a look of grievance on Shen Yan's face, a hearty smile appeared on the corner of Xia Qi's mouth.

"By the way, Lao Eighteen has been staying in the mansion since he came back from Xiangzhou Mansion, as his attendant, you should take some time to go to Lao Eighteen's mansion to teach him more, so as not to make him feel that he has done a good job in Huaibei County and have some pride." An inexplicable look flashed in Xia Qi's eyes, and he glanced at Shen Yan indifferently, since the eighteenth man worshiped Shen Yan, he has indeed undergone some major changes, not to mention that his talent has been greatly improved, and he has also made great progress in dealing with people, while Xia Qi was silently relieved in his heart, he was also worried that Xia Yuanxu would have some pride and conceit because of this, so he thought about asking Shen Yan to take the time to go to Xia Yuanxu's house to have a good chat with the other party.

"Wechen was negligent." Hearing Xia Qi pull the topic to Xia Yuanxu's body, a trace of suspicion flashed in Shen Yan's eyes, Xia Yuanxu came back early, but he only came back yesterday, he couldn't just come back and go to Xia Yuanxu's house to meet each other, and then chatted happily, he also has his own things, besides, he has already sacrificed his personal space, and handing over such an important list to the emperor at such an early time is enough to prove his loyalty, is it possible that the emperor wants to make himself the only loyal in his heart. A super courtier without any personal space can't be?

"I know who you are, you won't be negligent in this regard, you just came back yesterday, and you put aside the time you spent with Hongyan to sort out such a list related to my century-old inheritance of Great Xia, I said this, just a kind reminder, don't ignore Hongyan's feelings because of such an important list, and also neglect to go to the old eighteen mansions." When Xia Qi said this, an inexplicable melancholy flashed in his eyes, as if the pretty figure of the late queen flashed in his mind, and then the shadows of Xia Yuanxu's biological mother and Xia Yuhan's biological mother flashed in Xia Qi's mind one after another, and a look of remembrance flashed on his face, and he glanced at Shen Yan indifferently, and said with some feelings.

"Although the old eighteen has not been successful, but after all, it is my flesh and blood, I have indeed ignored his feelings over the years, fortunately he met you, otherwise, he is still living a muddy life, and under your edification and teaching, the old eighteen has changed a lot, and people have matured a lot."

"However, as my heir, if these achievements are not enough, I don't expect him to achieve much results, but I don't want him to become a pawn that others can use, let alone become the object of others' crushing, so if he wants to get more living space and get greater satisfaction from me, he still needs to make greater efforts." Xia Qi paused slightly when he said this, with a complicated look, he glanced at Shen Yan lightly, as if there was something else in his words.

"Wei Chen did his best to help the Eighteen Princes grow up, at least he could reach the realm of protecting himself." Although Shen Yan was surprised why the emperor suddenly said this to him, his face still showed a touch of sincerity, and with a hint of low tone, he said loudly.

"With your words, I am much more relieved. Your talent, I know very well in my heart, self-preservation is more than enough, even, I give you more power, you will get a bigger stage and space, I have also thought about giving you more power, however, after all, the court has the rules of the court, although I am the master of Great Xia, but in some aspects, I still have to abide by certain rules, so, I can't give you a higher official position at the moment, I can only let you shoulder more official positions, as long as you make full use of these official positions, I believe that you can be like a fish in water in these rules. Xia Qi said indifferently with a look of hope.
