Chapter 971: Shen Yan, only you can help me

"Shen Yan, you were brought up by me, so I still have a scale in my heart for your talent and personality, don't be presumptuous, and don't be in a hurry to refuse what I just said." A faint smile appeared on the corner of Xia Qi's mouth, and he looked at Shen Yan lightly, as if he was enjoying Shen Yan's current expression very much.

"Thank you for the emperor's appreciation and recognition of Weichen, although Weichen has some talents, but compared with the emperor, Weichen's talent is like a firefly, how dare he compare with Haoyue." Although Shen Yan's words did not directly express his refusal, there was an obvious meaning behind the words, what your emperor has not done, how can I, Shen Yan, a courtier, do it.

"As I said, except for my first little regret, you can't help me, you can do the rest." Xia Qi fully comprehended the meaning behind Shen Yan's words, and with a hint of complexity in his eyes, he glanced at Shen Yan lightly.

Xia Qi is actually very conflicted in his heart, these little regrets of his own, even his own sons can't help him to complete it, relying on Shen Yan, who occasionally shows ruffians and hangers, Xia Qi really doesn't dare to give too much trust, however, his favorite princess Xia Yuhan's feelings for Shen Yan seem to be getting hotter and hotter now, as Xia Yuhan's father, he can't help his daughter strive for happiness in other places, that can only give Shen Yan more and greater authority, besides, Shen Yan's talent was indeed appreciated by Xia Qi.

If it was just based on Xia Yuhan's feelings for Shen Yan and Shen Yan didn't have enough talent, Xia Qi would not have thought of giving Shen Yan more authority, at most just giving him some wealth and making him a proper rich man.

"I know your relationship with the Yang family and the Song family, that's why I said that you can help me complete these little regrets of mine."

"Wechen is a capital offense." When he heard Xia Qi point out his relationship with Yang Manlou and Song Bugui, Shen Yan's eyes flashed with horror, what the emperor hated the most was that the courtiers and the people of the family hooked up together, and he, as a grassroots official who was single-handedly promoted by the emperor, was unable to explain the relationship between Yang Manlou and Song Bugui under the emperor's hatred, which fell in Xia Qi's eyes, and he was a capital crime.

Shen Yan didn't understand why Xia Qi didn't deal with himself before, and didn't tell himself before, even if he gave an order to pry himself, he could express Xia Qi's attitude towards him, but Xia Qi seemed to be an extremely insidious old conspirator in this matter, and he showed a completely unaware appearance when he knew the result, and chose to take it out at a critical time.

"It doesn't have to be like this, I have known your relationship with the Yang family and the Song family for a long time, to be honest, I did feel a wave of anger in my heart at the beginning, you are obviously an official who I brought up with one hand, and the label on your body is very obvious, and you also know my attitude towards the family, but you still have an unclear relationship with the Yang family and the Song family in the family, I was thinking about pulling your clothes at that time, and wanted to question you face to face, so that you can give me a reasonable explanation." As if sensing Shen Yan's mood, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Xia Qi's mouth, and he glanced at Shen Yan indifferently with a hint of victory, and then said.

"But then I figured it out, although I have an absolute suppression mentality towards the family, but this does not mean that I have to hate all the people in the family, there are still some talented people in the family, and there are talents of the people in their hearts, if I make a unified label and characterization of all the people in the family with a stick, then I will be too narrow." When Xia Qi said this, a look of indifference flashed in his eyes, he glanced at Shen Yan lightly, and saw a strong surprise flashing in Shen Yan's eyes, and a hearty smile couldn't help but appear at the corner of his mouth, and then said.

"From that moment on, all I thought of was giving you enough authority and sending someone to keep an eye on you in case you made a mistake."

"Wechen is terrified." Hearing that Xia Qi finally revealed that someone had been placed next to him, Shen Yan's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, but more of it was a touch of understanding, but he couldn't guess who this person was.

"Fortunately, your performance has never exceeded my bottom limit, the most important point is that your attitude towards the family is completely different from those princes, and your thoughts are also a little different from mine, I didn't understand it at first, but as time goes by, I know more about your relationship with the Yang family and the Song family." Xia Qi said with a smile indifferently.

"You seem to have a very harmonious relationship with the Yang family and the Song family on the surface, and even the Yang family still wants to marry a descendant of the Yang family to you, but fortunately you also refused." Xia Qi didn't know why he also used a word yes, it was a reason why Xia Yuhan felt uneven and felt balanced, so he subconsciously said this word.

"Until now, to be exact, the moment you proposed to me to implement the Push Grace Order in the family, I understand that your attitude towards the family is both suppression and exploitation, which I didn't agree with at first, and even despised it very much in my heart, if it weren't for your performance that has always satisfied me, to be honest, I would have wanted to summon you here and criticize you fiercely." A bright smile appeared on the corner of Xia Qi's mouth, and he seemed to be very satisfied with his idea.

"This relationship between you and the Yang family and the Song family not only allows the Yang family and the Song family to give you enough help, but also restricts the development of the Yang family and the Song family to a certain extent, and this is the real purpose of your relationship with the Yang family and the Song family." When Xia Qi said this, a smile of appreciation and relief appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he glanced at Shen Yan lightly and gave some praise.

"After the Yang family and the Song family got to know you, although the development in some aspects has not stopped, there have been some changes in the overall situation, and more importantly, when you formed the Great Xia Royal Army and controlled the Criminal Department, you did not accept the people recommended by the Yang family and the Song family because of the shortage of talents, and still maintained this sober understanding, which is not easy." Xia Qi smiled indifferently, very satisfied with Shen Yan's performance, and also gave a high evaluation of Shen Yan's performance.

"And these performances of yours also make me feel that only you can help me achieve and complete my little regrets." Xia Kai's eyes were full of confidence.
