Chapter 34: Driving Shen Yan Away
"Do you mean that I don't fight or grab, but just show my pure heart for my father?" Xia Yuan looked at Shen Yan suspiciously, as if he didn't believe that this method alone could realize the thoughts in his heart. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"So what do you think?" A confident smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth.
Shen Yan originally didn't want to get involved in the battle game of the prince, but Xia Yuanxu's honesty allowed him to figure out some of the things that had been overlooked before, or to say that he recognized the path he should take more clearly, his expression became relaxed, his eyes looked at the other party sincerely, and said lightly the only advantage of the other party.
"But my father looks very disgusted every time he sees me, do you think I can show a pure heart in front of my father?" Xia Yuanxu's brows were tightly wrinkled together, as if the dawn was blooming in front of him, but it turned out to be just the light of fireflies, and he was overjoyed.
"Where there is a will, there is a way, the emperor's weathered eyes know everything, so don't deliberately approach or please the emperor if you want to get the emperor's favor, but really have a desire for father's love and filial piety to the emperor, if you can't do this and the traces of the performance are too strong, not only will it not work, but it will make the emperor hate you even more." Shen Yan lightly smashed Xia Yuanxu's fist, and said without the slightest emotion in his eyes.
"Shen Yan, if I succeed, I will live up to you." Xia Yuanxu seemed to see the dawn, and a wave of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he promised Shen Yan with deep words.
"Don't, I'm not telling you this to report to you, but for mutual benefit." A trace of mist flashed in Shen Yan's eyes, like the stars in the starry sky in the middle of the night, which was unpredictable.
"I know I don't have anything now, and you don't believe what I say, but I will always remember my promise to you." Xia Yuanxu said sonorously.
"Well, I believe you." Some inexplicable smiles appeared on the corners of Shen Yan's mouth, is the man's promise reliable? This answer is self-evident, there is no need to be serious with the other party, "The so-called one fence has three piles, and one hero has three gangs." You and I alone can't accomplish what you have in mind, but you can't blatantly co-opt people in your situation, and even if you do, people won't believe you, or others won't believe that you can get there. ”
"I'll give you a few suggestions, if you can do it, you don't have the opportunity to sit in that position, one is filial piety, from now on, whether it is before or after, you must be sincerely good to the emperor, you must show the appearance of a filial son, do not have the slightest trace of performance; The second is to be low-key, from this moment on, you have never told me what you think in your heart, and don't tell others what you think, and you also don't participate in any state affairs, nor do you participate in any power groups, of course, under the current circumstances, no one will look for you, but in the future, no one will necessarily find your head and let you be a puppet; The third is forbearance, no matter what kind of unfair treatment you have encountered before, from this moment on, you must forget about these, do not think about which day you will develop to take revenge on them, and at the same time you must hold back the thoughts in your heart. There was a sense of confidence in Shen Yan's eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, with a hint of an inexplicable smile.
"I see." Xia Yuan's eyes were red, and he nodded lightly, "Thank you for this meal, although I didn't drink it well, I gained a lot, but in order to avoid suspicion, I left first." ”
"Okay, don't send it." Shen Yang waved his hand without looking back, and then asked Ah Fu to give him another pot of wine, a stack of peanuts, and poured himself a drink, with a feeling of pleasure.
"Master Shen, are you there?" Shen Yan seemed to be drunk, and vaguely heard someone shouting to himself, squinting a little drunk and hazy, he saw a scribe standing in front of the gate looking around for something.
"What's the matter?" Shen Yan squinted his eyes and asked lightly.
"Director Shen, it can be regarded as looking for you, the lord of the ministry convened an emergency meeting of officials at all levels, and you are missing Director Shen." The scribe said a little breathlessly.
"Look at your panting appearance, have you collapsed from too much fatigue recently, don't worry, the sky is falling and there are tall people on top, I'm just a principal, there are still so many officials above, say slowly." Shen Yan felt that his tongue was a little knotted, and he burped a lot.
"Master Shen, the villain is not very clear about the specific reason, but the lord of the ministry is very anxious, and I hope that Director Shen will rush back quickly, and don't let the villain be embarrassed." A trace of anxiety appeared in the scribe's eyes, and his eyes looked eagerly at Shen Yan, who was still drinking wine.
"Okay, then you wait a minute, I'll sober up first." A smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth.
"Brother Shen, it's okay to drink less, drink too much and hurt yourself." After the scribe left, Cheng Keer took a cup of sobering tea and said with a concerned face.
"Okay, I'll listen to Ke'er." Shen Yan drank the sobering tea in one gulp, smiled and held Cheng Ke'er's jade hand, a trace of tenderness appeared in his eyes, "My Ke'er started to take care of this and that before he passed the door, when he passed the door, wouldn't my Ke'er want to take care of me to death." ”
"Brother Shen, you know how to make fun of Ke'er." A trace of sweetness and tenderness appeared in Cheng Keer's eyes, and a hint of crimson appeared on her face.
"Haha, Brother Shen is willing to be managed by my Ke'er." Shen Yan gently rubbed Cheng Ke'er's jade hand, and said sincerely on his face.
"Who's your K'er?" Cheng Ke'er slapped Shen Yan shyly, and then said with a straight face, "Brother Shen, go get busy with business." ”
"Your name is Zhao Weiqian, and you have been in the Criminal Department for more than five years." After Shen Yan woke up from drinking, he enjoyed a short period of private love with his children, and with a sweet smile on the corner of his mouth, he came to the door and looked at the anxious scribe, and said indifferently.
"How do adults know the villain's name?" A look of surprise appeared in Zhao Weiqian's eyes, although this Shen Yan in front of him was the head of the Criminal Department, he also showed his face once in the department, although the lord of the ministry issued a gag order, but the low-level scribes in the ministry were full of praise for his ability to punish names, but what he didn't expect was that he had only met Shen Yan once, and he didn't communicate, he remembered his name and entry time, and even his top boss didn't remember this.
"Scribe Zhao is careful and cautious, quite practical, in the past five years or so, there has never been a mistake in the case files handled, although the official has only shown his face once in the ministry, but the capable person and the official will definitely remember it." A smile of appreciation appeared in Shen Yan's eyes, and he glanced at Zhao Weiqian lightly, "Scribe Zhao is a talented person and a person with responsibility, but it's a pity that ......"
"What do you mean by pity?" Hearing Shen Yan's comments, Zhao Weiqian's curiosity was suddenly stimulated.
"Nothing." A faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and he walked forward slowly with light steps.
Looking at Shen Yan's chic and youthful steps, a trace of strong doubt flashed in Zhao Weiqian's eyes, why did Shen Yan only speak half of his speech? Why would he mention his past and end it with a pity? What does this pity mean? With unrelieved doubts, Zhao Weiqian's steps were not steady at all.
"Director Shen, as an official of the Criminal Department, he didn't even order and didn't go to the ministry to work, do you think this is a vegetable market?" Shen Yan's figure just appeared in front of Lin Xiaotang's eyes, and Lin Xiaotang reprimanded with a stern face.
"Well, you actually drank alcohol, Shen Yan, what are you doing here?" After Lin Xiaotang smelled a smell of wine, his nose twitched slightly, and there was a trace of anger in his eyes, almost pointing at Shen Yan's nose and scolding loudly.
"My lord, the lower official ......" Shen Yan opened his mouth to explain something, but he didn't want to be interrupted by Lin Xiaotang mercilessly.
"Shen Yan, if you make a mistake, you make a mistake, this official doesn't want to listen to your explanations and quibbles, this official has put up with you for a long time, or you don't have my criminal department in your eyes at all, or do you think that you can be high up if you are an official position granted by the emperor himself." Lin Xiaotang stared at Shen Yan fiercely, as if he was relieved to find Shen Yan's fault, and seemed to be thinking about how to make Shen Yan unable to eat and walk around.
"Lord Ministry, if the subordinate has a word, I don't know if I should say it?" Cui Mingshi sat not far from Shen Yan, glanced at Shen Yan, and then looked at Lin Xiaotang with a serious face.
"Cui Yuanwailang, what do you have to say?" Lin Xiaotang's anger didn't seem to dissipate, and he said coldly.
"Lord Ministry, didn't you mention before that the emperor wanted the Criminal Department to transfer personnel to the other five ministries for rotation, the lower officials felt that Director Shen was good at punishment and his ability was quite outstanding, in order not to weaken the reputation of my Criminal Department, the lower officials suggested that Director Shen be one of the rotation officials." Cui Mingshi glanced at Lin Xiaotang a little when he said this, saw Lin Xiaotang's eyes narrowed, seemed to agree with his suggestion, and then said, "Although the lower official is the boss of Chief Shen, as the saying goes, you don't avoid relatives and enemies when you move internally, and you don't avoid revenge when you move outside. ”
"Damn, isn't this clearly driving me away?" Hearing Cui Mingshi's words, the corners of Shen Yan's mouth rose slightly, and he couldn't help but speak.
"Well, Director Shen's ability is indeed extraordinary, and he is highly valued by the emperor, so it is indeed a good suggestion to go to the military department on behalf of my criminal department." Hearing Cui Mingshi's recommendation, a smug smile appeared on the corner of Lin Xiaotang's mouth, the Seventh Prince did not say anything about his suggestion to refrigerate Shen Yan, and he couldn't make up his mind whether to drive Shen Yan out of the Criminal Department, but he didn't expect the emperor to order the Seven Princes to inspect Yungui today, and made a will for the rotation of officials from the Six Ministries, isn't this that someone handed him a pillow when he happened to be sleepy, Cui Mingshi is worthy of being a dog raised for himself, and he knows his own thoughts, and he just sings with a red face and a white face, leading Shen Yan into the world. Complete the confession of the Seven Princes.
"Director Shen, the official's tone was a little heavier just now, but the official is also for the good of Director Shen, Director Shen is still young, you must not be rash, I wonder if Director Shen has the confidence to go to the military department to rotate on behalf of my criminal department?" A kind smile appeared on the corner of Lin Xiaotang's mouth, which was completely an image of an amiable boss, and he seemed to have completely forgotten how he severely reprimanded Shen Yan just now.
