Especially the East Palace is the power of the crown prince, and now His Majesty's dragon body is often unsafe, to put it mildly, it may not be able to support it for a few years, or he will give up the throne to the prince in advance, otherwise with His Majesty's always suspicious character, it is impossible to let the power of the East Palace expand so much.

Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, the East Palace is very powerful, and it is still powerful allowed by His Majesty, to be able to control such a group, Shen Jungao should of course be proud and proud.

But every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and Shen Jungao also has too many helplessness and compromises that he has to make, in the final analysis, it is actually because the East Palace is getting stronger and stronger, and naturally there are people inside the East Palace who can't sit still.

The whole system of the East Palace is complicated and complex, simple and simple, in fact, it is the military general system headed by Xiao Maha and the civil official system headed by Shen Jungao, plus Zhou Qu and other civilian officials, forming a group that resists the court, but complements each other.

It can be said that Xiao Maha to Shen Jungao and Shen Jungao to Xiao Maha are more about cooperation and appreciation, and there are no obvious contradictions and conflicts between the two sides, if you really want to say it, I am afraid that Xiao Maha insists on using softer means to deal with Li Xinchen, but Shen Jungao and Fu Wei and others have reached an agreement, and Xiao Maha did not defend more, but just reserved his own opinions.

In fact, this does not have a great strategic impact on the entire East Palace, because the top priority of the East Palace is to control the Jiankang Mansion as much as possible, rather than dealing with outsiders like Li Xinchen who have been clearly separated.

What's more, even if it is to deal with Li Xinchen, now is not the time to make a big move, so Shen Jungao does not need Xiao Maha's full support, and Shen Jungao has not figured out how to deal with this young man who knows everything about the East Palace.

What really worries Shen Jungao is actually a few people who have been surrounding the crown prince Chen Shubao now, and these young people who have been appreciated by Chen Shubao because of their poetry and writing, represented by Kong Fan and Jiang Zong.

To tell the truth, Shen Jungao had been avoiding the mountains and forests before, and he didn't know much about these people who entered the East Palace even earlier than him, and their daily task was to accompany Chen Shubao to play in the mountains and rivers, just like Chen Shubao's personal guards, so Shen Jungao never took them seriously.

Some fortunate villains, as long as they don't have any bad ideas and don't interfere with Chen Shubao's acceptance of Shen Jungao's suggestions, then Shen Jungao is still willing to maintain a colleague relationship with them.

But recently, Shen Jungao has noticed some clues, with the continuous expansion of the East Palace's power, some villains and opportunists also want to profit from the huge benefits obtained by the East Palace, you must know that the expansion of the East Palace system means that a large number of people are needed, which is definitely difficult to satisfy the East Palace that has been swallowing its anger in a short period of time.

Shen Jungao didn't want to refuse some upright and loyal people outside the door, the current East Palace also needs to be enriched and developed, naturally it is impossible to keep just an empty shelf, so that once the contradiction with the rest of the enemies intensifies, it will become vulnerable.

And the matter of selecting talents naturally fell on Fu Wei's shoulders, for Fu Wei, Shen Jungao is still very relieved, this colleague of the rectum not only looks at people very accurately, but also uses the harshest language to cut off the minds of those who try to take advantage of opportunism.

It's just that the selection and filling of this kind of talent takes a certain amount of time, after all, it is not so easy to know whether a person is suitable or not.

Every time he thought of this question, Shen Jungao wanted to sigh, because in his heart, the most suitable to support the next generation of the East Palace were naturally the three young people Li Xinchen, Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie, but unfortunately now they have embarked on another path, and they are no longer friends but enemies with the East Palace.

It is still a small problem to select the right person among the officials outside, but the big problem now is that Mr. Jiang and Kong Fan and others, who were originally by Chen Shubao's side and just traveled every day, actually began to ask Chen Shubao for some tasks.

This naturally aroused Shen Jungao's vigilance, of course he would not be stupid to think that these people really wanted to share Chen Shubao's worries. The simplest and most direct explanation is that they also want to take advantage of this opportunity to enter the East Palace system and gradually occupy a more important position.

Once Chen Shubao ascends the throne, then it will naturally be the time for them to soar.

Although Shen Jungao has always scoffed at this kind of villain, he has to admit that their method is very risky, but it is also a good way to rise to the top.

Especially now Chen Shubao seems to feel that these cronies have been by his side for a long time, so he wants to give them the opportunity to experience and prove himself, and has clearly expressed his meaning to Shen Jungao and Fu Wei.

Open guns are easy to dodge, hidden arrows are difficult to defend, although Shen Jungao wanted to refuse very much, but he still agreed for the time being, because he didn't want to offend these villains at this time, otherwise if they held a grudge and broke their thoughts in Chen Shubao's ears, then it would be enough for Shen Jungao to walk around.

After all, Shen Jungao didn't dare to guarantee that with Chen Shubao's weak character, he wouldn't believe it.

In addition, in fact, Shen Jungao is more worried about the future of the East Palace, the development of the East Palace is now a big business, but it is also facing the problem of nowhere to play, the East Palace in the court seems to be the number one force, the officials who were originally close to Chen Shuling are now silent and will not take the initiative to provoke, and the rest of the neutral officials have always been careful, so it should not be difficult for the East Palace to control the court.

But if it just goes on like this, there is no way for the East Palace to prove the ability of this group to the younger generation of talents, because the East Palace actually still lacks the merits such as Li Xinchen's solo army to win Bashu, and lacks the courage and ability to change the bloated and backward administrative system of the entire Nanchen, so if you want to maintain the ability of the entire system and attract more young people with ability and opinions, rather than just attracting a group of flattering villains, then you need to show more merits to prove.

At the same time, taking advantage of such an opportunity, Shen Jungao can also prove to Chen Shubao that what the East Palace needs is real talents who can do practical things, like Kong Fan and Jiang Zong, who can write gorgeous articles but can only slap horses, which is not what the East Palace needs.

Therefore, Shen Jungao keenly seized the opportunity of this Northern Zhou turmoil.

Li Xinchen has no way to provoke now, if he can let the East Palace forces perform in this Northern Zhou turmoil, then it is also a good opportunity to prove himself. This is also why Shen Jungao came to the door in such a hurry, and he also wanted to listen to Xu Ling's opinion.

Xu Ling looked Shen Jungao up and down, and sighed secretly in his heart.

The family has a big business and a big problem, and it is really not easy for Shen Jungao to support the East Palace.
