"It's not a masterpiece, it's just that I guessed the emperor's mind and followed the emperor's will." Hearing Tong Shaohua's praise, the corners of Shen Yan's mouth smiled indifferently, and there was a hint of modesty written on his face, and he said slowly.

"Although the eighteen princes have no strength at the moment, the emperor has always had a trace of guilt for the mother of the eighteen princes, coupled with some affection, the emperor naturally has other feelings for the eighteen princes, but the emperor has been reluctant to express them, which is why only the eighteen princes have been sent to the palace for foster care since childhood." Shen Yan glanced at Tong Shaohua indifferently, a touch of inexplicable emotion appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said indifferently.

"It's a pity that the eighteen princes didn't understand the emperor's unique feelings for him before, and thought that the emperor didn't have him in his heart, so he chose to use another method to attract the emperor's attention, who knows, this method will only make him and the emperor's heart go farther and farther, fortunately, the eighteen princes are not stupid, plus I secretly dialed on the side, the eighteen princes have completely changed."

"Although the position of the eighteen princes in the emperor's mind has not yet reached the highest peak, but look at some other princes, a few of them have been suspended in the six departments, don't underestimate this temporary position, many times, the emperor just let the eighteen princes establish their own connections and team in the six departments. Of course, if the eighteenth prince didn't understand this, the emperor wouldn't have reminded him. A faint but confident smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth.

"The Eighteen Princes may not have comprehended it, but the adults must have comprehended it, and the Eighteen Princes will definitely be able to understand this." When Tong Shaohua heard this, a strange look flashed in his eyes, Shen Yan had already locked his eyes on the body of the eighteen princes, because Shen Yan had a huge thought hidden in his heart, he would rather be the head of the chicken than the tail of the phoenix, so Shen Yan has been helping the eighteen princes to gain greater opportunities and strength.

"Yes, when the emperor threw the eighteen princes to me and let him take up his post in the criminal department, I realized the emperor's intention, that is, I hoped that I could help the eighteen princes, and at the same time, let the eighteen princes take root in the criminal department and gradually establish their own contacts, however, the eighteen princes did not realize this when they were in the criminal department, and I also understood the emperor's intentions, this kind of thing should be understood by the eighteen princes themselves, not let me tell him, so I didn't tell him what should happen in the criminal department, so, The influence of the Eighteen Princes in the Criminal Department is not great. A faint smile flashed at the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, glanced at Tong Shaohua, and said without concealment.

"The Eighteenth Prince may have been inspired by seeing my layout in Wuzhou Mansion after arriving in Huaibei County, so after I solved the crisis in Xiangzhou Mansion, the Eighteenth Prince wanted to get the corresponding benefits from Xiangzhou Mansion, so as to prove his value and ability to the emperor."

"It's a pity that the Eighteen Princes didn't understand that although Xiangzhou Mansion and Wuzhou Mansion are both the capital cities of Huaibei County, however, there is a big difference between the two, Xiangzhou Mansion is the capital of Huaibei County, Gu Chaoru and others completely regard Xiangzhou Mansion as their own private place, and absolutely do not allow others to divide and encroach on the interests of Xiangzhou Mansion, so the idea of the Eighteen Princes is tantamount to developing to Gu Chaoru, with the skills and pattern of the Eighteen Princes, they will definitely be pressed to death by Gu Chaoru." A strange look flashed in Shen Yan's eyes, the expression on his face was slightly heavy, and he said slowly.

"I know that I can't dissuade the thoughts of the Eighteen Princes, however, I must not allow the remnants of the White Lotus Sect to resurge, so I will lead the army to continue to pursue and suppress the remnants of the White Lotus Sect, but I can't sit back and watch the Eighteen Princes fall into danger and ignore them, otherwise I won't be able to step over the hurdle in my heart without waiting for the emperor's punishment, so I made two preparations, one is to transfer the Wuzhou Mansion to protect the army, and the other is to transfer Huang Weiqian over to help the Eighteen Princes analyze the situation."

"It's a pity that the obsession in the heart of the eighteenth prince is too persistent, even if Huang Weiqian is persuaded by the side, but the eighteenth prince does not accept it, out of desperation, Huang Weiqian has a plan and secretly deploys such a play." Shen Yan knew that there were some things that needed to be clarified to Tong Shaohua, so that the two parties could better understand each other, so that they would not have a feeling of being constrained when they started doing things, and it was not good for Tong Shaohua to feel that doing things with a sinister and cunning person would allow the two to work better together, so that Shen Yan would selectively tell Tong Shaohua about Huang Weiqian's layout of Xiangzhou Mansion.

"Rest assured, the lower officials know their own shortcomings, with the Huang staff, the lower officials will have a lot of peace of mind, and the things involving the use of the brain will be handed over to the Huang staff, and the lower officials will fully cooperate, and strive to return a peaceful living environment to Xiangzhou Mansion in the shortest possible time." Tong Shaohua didn't understand Shen Yan's intention of saying this at first, and thought that Shen Yan mentioned this matter by the way when he said that the eighteenth prince, but a bright light flashed in his mind, and he immediately understood Shen Yan's intention, and a hearty smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said loudly.

"The eighteen princes seem to be weak and have no chance of winning, however, there are no absolutes in the world, and when it comes to the matter of seizing the heir, sometimes it is not whose fist is big, who is the most hopeful, unless there is any accident in the emperor, and there is no time to issue an edict, otherwise, who can sit in that position, it depends on who is in the emperor's mind, as the so-called fight for not fight, do not fight for the fight, once you understand the emperor's intention, plus some layout and efforts the day after tomorrow, you will have the opportunity to ascend to that position." Shen Yan's eyes flashed with a hint of indifferent confidence, with a hint of irresistibility in his confidence, he glanced at Tong Shaohua indifferently, and said loudly.

"Although I don't have the idea of monopolizing power, but if you choose a certain prince and feel constrained in everything, it is better to choose a prince who has no foundation but is not without any hope, although this choice may not go to the end, however, during the cooperation period, at least one thing will make me feel very comfortable, that is, there will not be too much interference in doing things, and the eighteenth prince will rely on me in many things."

"In addition to this reason, there is also the most fundamental reason, I don't know many princes, to be exact, there are only eighteen princes who know in Jinling, and I don't know the eighteen princes, so I made this choice on the premise that I have no other choice." The corners of Shen Yan's mouth raised slightly, and he said with an indifferent smile.
