Chapter 896: The Master of Digging Pits

"Shen Yan, this guy, I really didn't expect that he was young, but his calculations were so old and spicy, and the third prince almost didn't have any way back now." Qiu Mubai patted the table gently, deeply attracted by Shen Yan's secret letter.

"Dad, why haven't you rested at such a late hour?" When Qiu Yingxue passed by Qiu Mubai's study, she vaguely heard Qiu Mubai praising her lover, she felt sweet in her heart, and with a hint of shyness, she couldn't help but stop, gently buckled Qiu Mubai's study door, and asked softly.

"Yingxue, come in." Hearing the sound of the door slamming, Qiu Mubai's eyes revealed a complicated look, with a trace of love and guilt, and a hint of reluctance.

"Dad, my daughter happened to be passing by, and it seems that I heard you mention Shen Yan, could it be that Shen Yan has made any great contributions?" Qiu Yingxue gently pushed open the door of the study, followed the dim light, and came to Qiu Mubai's side with light steps, seeing that a complicated look appeared in Qiu Mubai's eyes, and a faint excitement was revealed in her eyes, Qiu Yingxue's eyes flashed with a touch of doubt, and asked indifferently.

"Huaibei County's small White Lotus Sect is just that, as long as the imperial court has its hands free, the other party has nothing to look at at it, and Shen Yan has completely defeated the White Lotus Sect before, except for the White Lotus Sect leader Wang Tianzuo in Lingnan who is confronted by the Jinling infantry army, there is no White Lotus Sect bandit in other areas of Huaibei County, so Shen Yan has nowhere to make meritorious contributions." Hearing that Qiu Yingxue showed a little daughter's mentality, without the slightest intelligence from before, Qiu Mubai's eyes had a faint smile in her eyes, glanced at Qiu Yingxue, and said with a smile.

"Although Shen Yan didn't make any military achievements again, he made a very old suggestion." Seeing a hint of indifference flashing in Qiu Yingxue's eyes, for some reason, a trace of jealousy and distress flashed in Qiu Mubai's eyes, it was really a woman's mistake, she didn't hear Shen Yan's good news from her mouth, and there was a trace of loss written on her face, Qiu Mubai shook her head slightly, shook off the complicated emotions in her mind, and said slowly with a faint smile.

"What kind of old spicy suggestions make Dad feel emotional?" Hearing Qiu Mubai's words, Qiu Yingxue's eyes obviously showed a trace of joy, and with a hint of surprise, she said softly.

"The battle situation in Lingnan has been in a state of stalemate, in fact, the reason why this situation has occurred is because the two sides of the war are the people of the three princes, on one side is the uncle of the three princes, and on the other hand, Wang Tianzuo, the son of the Wang family who was attracted by the three princes, both sides performed a good show in Lingnan under the orders of the three princes, and played a good show for the emperor and the people of the world, the fundamental reason is that the three princes do not want to hurt their muscles and bones, and they are reluctant to support the Wang family." Wang Tianzuo, as a descendant of the Wang family, is no longer a secret under the intentional spread of Yao Mengxian's old master and Shilin, and everyone in the world knows it.

The reason why the Wang family issued such an explanation is that fundamentally they still don't want to tear their faces with the emperor, although the Wang family knows that the emperor's current situation is completely inferior to the state of more than ten years ago, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the Wang family still does not dare to resist the emperor's anger head-on before finding out the emperor's true situation.

"In view of the situation in Lingnan, Shen Yan wanted to enter the game, but he was worried that the Jinling infantry army and Wang Tianzuo would join forces to attack the Great Xia royal army and the servant army, and at the same time achieve the greatest results in order to reduce casualties, Shen Yan made a suggestion to the emperor, so that the emperor intentionally or unintentionally revealed that as long as the three princes dared to break their wrists, the position of the prince would be given priority." A look of admiration flashed in Qiu Mubai's eyes, Shen Yan couldn't usually see how ruthless this kid was, but this suggestion almost ruined any hope of the three princes to win the heir, or rather, let the three princes fall directly from the altar of the heir.

Shen Yan's suggestion doesn't seem to be particularly powerful, but once this suggestion is implemented, no matter whether the three princes choose to give up Wang Tianzuo or not, from now on, the road to the three princes will be very less qualified, and a person who can leave his subordinates at any time cannot be followed by others. But if Wang Tianzuo is not left behind, the three princes will fall into righteous punishment. Therefore, no matter which choice the three princes make, they have dug a pit and jumped in, and the three princes have to jump into this pit. It can be seen that Shen Yan is also a master of digging pits.

"It's really not easy for the third prince to choose in this position, and it's not easy to choose someone else." Hearing Qiu Mubai's words, a sweet smile flashed in Qiu Yingxue's eyes, Shen Yan didn't make a move, and as soon as he made a move, it was impossible to respond, however, in addition to Shen Yan's resourcefulness and talent, his hands didn't seem to be idle, Qiu Yingxue seemed to want to be alone with Shen Yan, Shen Yan couldn't help but have a trace of shyness in his eyes, and seemed to have a faint hope, and he couldn't help but smear a layer of crimson behind his ears.

"After Shen Yan's strategy came out, it is estimated that although the third prince will not become a rat crossing the street, it seems impossible to continue to occupy the previous advantage of winning the heir." A touch of emotion flashed in Qiu Mubai's eyes, although he was very assertive at Shen Yan's age, and he was also highly valued by Old Master Yao, but when it came to being able to make Shen Yan's suggestion, Qiu Mubai asked himself if he could do it, this is the difference between himself and Shen Yan.

Therefore, many people in the world, including many officials in the court, are full of jealousy of Shen Yan's rash rise, but they never seem to have thought about why Shen Yan can get the emperor's trust and respect, or how many opportunities the emperor will give newcomers to trust and respect every year, and why Shen Yan can seize it alone, the fundamental reason is Shen Yan's efforts and talents.

Talent alone without hard work can't reach Shen Yan's current realm, you don't see that there are too many talented people throughout the ages but they don't bother to work hard, or don't work hard at all, and finally disappear from everyone, the most typical is the protagonist who hurts Zhongyong. Relatively talented and not hard work group, hard work without talent is much better, as the so-called diligence can make up for the lack of talent, that is, through diligence to make up for the lack of talent.

Of course, there are also people who think that doing more wrong, doing less wrong, and not doing well, this is just an attitude of doing things, and it has little direct relationship with talent and hard work.

Others don't know Shen Yan's efforts since he was promoted by the emperor, Qiu Mubai knows very well in his heart, of course, Qiu Mubai didn't pay much attention to Shen Yan at the beginning or didn't bother to pay attention to Shen Yan at all, but who let his only baby daughter recognize Shen Yan, for the happiness of his daughter, Qiu Mubai had to spend some thought and energy to pay attention to Shen Yan, in this process, Qiu Mubai was gradually attracted by Shen Yan's talent, maybe his baby daughter really fell into Shen Yan's talent.

Shen Yanzhicai not only wins with a positive combination, but occasionally involves the sword to go sideways, such as the pit dug for the third prince this time.
