Chapter 805: The Discord Scheme
"Lord Shen, at first, the general just wanted to exchange it for the slap that the eighteenth prince slapped by the general, but the general didn't know what was wrong, and he felt very happy when he was fighting, so he started a little harder." Feeling that Shen Yan seemed to want to turn his face, a trace of fear appeared in Chen Zhi'an's eyes, and he said with some trepidation.
"Mr. Chen, things are not like what you say." Huang Weiqian has been quietly watching Shen Yan's performance since Shen Yan came, and he did not steal the limelight from Shen Yan at all, but when he heard Chen Zhi'an's words of shirking responsibility like this, he was worried that Shen Yan did not understand what happened, so he hurriedly stood up, with a hint of mockery in his eyes, and said loudly.
"Lao Huang, tell me the truth." Although Shen Yan didn't know the specific situation of the matter, he could deduce a thing or two from a trace of clues, and seeing Huang Weiqian suddenly stand up and speak, Shen Yan instantly understood that Huang Weiqian stood up to cooperate with him and sing the next play.
"My lord, at that time, the eighteenth prince had already been beaten to the ground by Mr. Chen, but Mr. Chen was ......" Huang Weiqian's eyes did not have the slightest look of excitement, and he still had a very flat look, and the details of Chen Zhi'an's beating of Xia Yuanxu were truthful, and there was no water in the middle.
"Mr. Chen really deserves to be born in a soldier's family, he deeply understands the law of soldiers, and knows that he must crush the opponent fiercely when he fights, so that the opponent has no power to resist, but has Mr. Chen ever thought about the identity of the person who is playing against you, will this opponent stand up again and give Mr. Chen a fatal counterattack?" Shen Yan listened to Huang Weiqian's statement, there was a trace of coldness in his eyes, and there was a peaceful look written on his face, without the slightest anger, as if all this that happened was taken for granted, and there was no need for him to make a big fuss about such a thing. But those who are familiar with Shen Yan know that once Shen Yan's face shows this look, it means that Shen Yan's anger has reached the extreme.
"The person who fought against Mr. Chen is the eighteenth prince, Mr. Chen is so ruthless to the prince, and he should be more ruthless to the enemy, but unfortunately, this official has never heard of how brave and ruthless Mr. Chen behaved against the enemy, but I have heard many times that Mr. Chen treats his own people and the soldiers under his command with this demeanor, which shows that Mr. Chen is a fierce and introverted person." When Shen Yan said this, a faint look flashed in his eyes, and he glanced at Chen Zhian with a hint of disappointment, and said indifferently.
Shen Yan wants to take over the management rights of Xiangzhou Mansion, it is impossible to kill or squeeze out all the people in Xiangzhou Mansion, once Shen Yan does this, it will make people feel that Shen Yan has no room for people, and then if he wants to recruit talents, he will encounter huge resistance, so Shen Yan's best choice is to choose a group of people from the system of Xiangzhou Mansion or Huaibei County who can be used for their own purposes.
Even if Chen Zhi'an beat Xia Yuanxu wildly, Shen Yan did not change this thought. However, after some things just now, Shen Yan has already discovered that Chen Zhi'an's character is seriously insufficient, if he really absorbs Chen Zhian for his own use, maybe it won't be long before Chen Zhian stabs himself in the back.
"Mr. Chen may think that the eighteenth prince is not loved by the emperor, so even if he offends the eighteenth prince like this, Mr. Chen will be fine, even if something happens, the people behind Mr. Chen will help Mr. Chen stop it." A stern look suddenly appeared in Shen Yan's eyes, and he glanced at General Chen coldly, and said indifferently.
"The official now wants to tell Chen Zongbing, even if the official no longer investigates, the eighteen princes will not be investigated, but the emperor will definitely be unhappy in his heart, this involves the face of the prince, it involves the dignity of the royal family, no matter what the status of the eighteen princes in the emperor's mind, after all, he is the identity of the prince, representing the dignity of the royal family, how can he tolerate the trampling of others at will." When Shen Yan said this, his voice couldn't help but rise suddenly, and there was a hint of mockery in his eyes.
"This official also admires the people behind you, and he actually thought of making Chen Zongbing bear such a big charge, which is obviously a loss of pawn to protect the car, it can be seen that Chen Zongbing either has no status in this camp, or the people behind Chen Zongbing are too ruthless, and they don't talk about human feelings at all, only cold interests."
"The official is still the same sentence, I hope that Mr. Chen will do it himself." Shen Yan's eyes had an indifferent look, and he no longer looked at Chen Zhi'an after speaking.
Shen Yan knew in his heart that whether the discord plan he used could work or not would depend on how much Chen Zhi'an valued his life and how intense his thoughts about his career were, if Chen Zhi's loyalty to the second prince had hit his own selfish interests, then Shen Yan's discord plan would not take effect at all, but would become Chen Zhi'an's laughing stock.
However, Shen Yan saw a glimmer of hope in Chen Zhi'an's eyes, Chen Zhi'an's thoughts about the career were very intense, and the desire in his heart was far more intense than his daily performance, perhaps this was also an important reason why he quickly took refuge in Gu Chaoru, Chen Zhi'an knew very well that Gu Chaoru represented the identity of the second prince, although he might not be able to get any specific benefits from joining, but he had an extra halo on his body, and what Chen Zhian lacked was this aura.
At present, Shen Yan's words have quietly taken root in Chen Zhi'an's heart, and gradually broke the influence of this aura on Chen Zhi'an, first of all, Shen Yan represents the emperor, even if the emperor's authority is gradually eaten by the princes, but the emperor's majesty has not decreased much, at least the emperor's orthodoxy and righteousness are still there, as long as there is a holy decree, no matter which prince has to submit, unless the prince is determined to raise the flag and rebel.
It's a pity that none of the princes who have taken the throne have been bold enough to do so much. In other words, these princes still need the emperor's orthodoxy and righteousness, because once they choose the path of armed violence, unless they can achieve the final victory, they will only become the one who is laughed at, and in the process of armed violence, it is not easy for this prince to get the help of real talents, these talents are all people who cherish feathers, and how can they choose another path before the orthodoxy and righteousness are not clear.
Of course, armed violence is not impossible, but in the current situation, no prince will choose this extreme. Therefore, Chen Zhi'an's aura towards the second prince is no longer so hot.
