Chen An has been wandering in the giant beast world for more than half a year, but it hasn't been long in the outside world.

Qiu Yuan had received Chen An's order and continued to lie dormant until Chen An returned, and then summoned him again.

Originally, he just wanted to help this old man, but at this time, looking at the other party's fanatical appearance, he couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts.

"Qiu Aiqing is exempt, there will be chaos in the Great Zhou, it is really not suitable to live for a long time, I miss the old love, I want to share the benefits of the brothers, Qiu Aiqing as a representative, if you have any ideas, you don't need to see outside. ”

Qiu Yuan's face was excited, there was nothing more exciting than learning that the leader he had been loyally following had been honored in the Ninth Five-Year Plan. The only regret may be that I didn't participate in that dragon work.

But now it seems that the old leader still cares about the old feelings, and it is still possible for himself and others to become the other party's henchmen.

"The subordinates endured humiliation in the Great Zhou, and the blue wisps of the road are just guarding an industry for Your Majesty, and now Your Majesty doesn't need us to stay there anymore, and the subordinates are naturally all subject to Your Majesty's arrangement. ”

Compared with Shen Lin, Chen An naturally trusts Qiu Yuan more, because his loyalty has been tested by time, and his unswerving commitment for twenty years is not something that ordinary people can do, and Shen Lin is only because of a small friendship, which is really unreliable in Chen Anxin.

It's just that Qiu Yuan's cultivation is ......

In this regard, Chen An did not show too much embarrassment, now that he is a noble ninety-five, rich country, how can he be stingy with this point of cultivation, the only thing he lacks now is that he can't control people's hearts, and it is still very easy to cultivate a person, or even a force.

"I know your loyalty, and now is the time when you are needed, eh...... You and your people will all come to Daqi and build a new intelligence network, called the Hidden Dragon. ”

"Do as Your Majesty commands. ”

After assigning the task, Chen An took out a finger-long and finger-wide golden cover booklet, with only four words on it: Give and take, ask for it.

He handed it to Qiu Yuan and said, "With this golden batch, the treasures of the inner treasury such as the Jade Treasure Room are available to you." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

Qiu Yuan was overjoyed, he didn't care about himself, but he felt that he could finally give an explanation to the group of old brothers he brought with him.

At this time, Chen An suddenly felt something, looked outside the pavilion, and then sent Qiu Yuan and said: "It is always complicated to move the family from the Great Zhou to here, you should go and busy with your own affairs first, by the way, the materials are easy to say, if the manpower is not enough, just transfer from the Great Zhou, I need some clean people." ”

Qiu Yuan's heart moved, and his joy was restricted, as if he understood some of Chen An's deep meanings, and quickly entered the state, leading the order to leave.

When he left, Chen An smiled in the other direction: "Xiaoguang, how can you have time to come and see the eldest brother." ”

In that direction, Li Guang's figure was like a simple sketch, highlighted, he still didn't have many expressions, even in the face of Chen An, the closest person, he didn't smile, but said a little softly: "Nie Haifeng withdrew his troops, stationed on the front line of Qinzhou, and ruled across the clouds from us, the situation in the west is completely stabilized, I want to come to see the eldest brother if I have nothing to do." ”

When Chen An looked at him like that, he knew that it wouldn't be so simple, and said with a smile: "You were brought up by your eldest brother, and you have suffered from mouth disease since you were a child, and you are not good at words, but if there is anything, guess and understand for me, how can you not see your heart." If there is anything, just say it, between you and my brother, there is nothing that can not be said. ”

Xiaoguang also felt that his performance was a little funny, but he didn't laugh, but when the eldest brother's words were dogmatic, he immediately corrected them, and said bluntly: "I think that when the southeast is stable, the situation will change, the clan will not be willing to submit to the imperial power, and all parties will not believe in the central government." ”

Chen An was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, calling you direct, you are really direct enough, and directly open up the biggest hidden dangers of Donglai.

As the emperor of Great Qi, how could he stand at the top without a trace of the current situation changes, and he needed Shen Lin and Xiaoguang to constantly remind him.

However, Xiaoguang is different from Shen Lin after all, Xiaoguang is his brother and his minister, and it is really appropriate to have some ideas about the government, but Shen Lin is different, he is just Chen An's eyes and ears, an ear and eye have his own ideas, and he intends to work against himself, how can this be tolerated.

Therefore, when he was in Jinlan Palace, he really felt a little sad.

Now seeing Xiaoguang, his mood is a little better, but he also explained and comforted the other party: "The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, this is a predictable thing, it has been like this since ancient times, if the benefits are unevenly distributed, they don't mind reaching out to take it, 'the four seas are poor, Tianlu will never end' is also the same reason." ”

"But the entire Great Qi was established by you, the eldest brother, and now that the Quartet has not yet cleared the Haiyan River, they can't wait to reach out, it's really ...... Damn it. ”

There was a slight hint of resentment in Xiaoguang's tone, which was really rare for him who had always been less emotional.

Chen An smiled at Xiaoguang's childish temper, compared to this brother's grievances, he thought about it.

Pull out the blood moon knife, save the people, unify the Eastern Wilderness, reject the Central Plains, manage the city-state internally, and develop the southeast ...... All of this is indeed his contribution to the Eastern Wilderness, and it is a matter of merit in the present and benefit in the future.

But it was precisely as the dust of these things settled that the situation in Daqi began to change.

First of all, there will inevitably be a lot of injustice and resentment in the distribution of cakes among the forces of all sides; second, a country that is directly reorganized by the city-state system will inevitably not be able to have its own unique structure like the great cadres; third, the integration of various forces must be intensified, otherwise it will be a hidden danger sooner or later; and second, the existence of the Blood Moon Knife has made too many people uneasy, and it must be turned from a divine weapon to which the individual belongs, and it must be turned into a national weapon......

These problems, large and small, are too numerous to count, and when put together, they almost put Daqi on the verge of survival. In particular, the almost irreconcilable contradictions between the major clans have made the Great Qi Society in danger, and one bad thing is to fall apart.

After all, the Great Qi and the Central Dynasty are different, and there is still a big difference between clans and families.

Shen Lin may have noticed it, but he didn't know how to change it, and he was afraid that Chen An would be radical, so he only mentioned it superficially, which made Chen An very dissatisfied.

In fact, even so, Chen An still has a solution, as long as he concentrates on the government and politics from now on, unites Wen Liang and works hard to make the country prosperous, and through the efforts of one or two generations, the status of all classes is completely solidified, and the contradictions are eliminated, and the transition will naturally be smooth.

It's just that he can't be like this at all, because he has never taken this throne seriously, from Xi Jun's death to the trip to Da Zhou, he can't wait to throw this throne out. What others can't ask for, he is like a snake and scorpion.

He is really tired of this kind of deceit, intrigue, and just wants to live a peaceful and clean life, especially when this throne is even involved in powerful games.

Yes, he does have the heart to face the powerful arrangement, but he is not prepared to accept everything smoothly, and he also needs to struggle and shout.

So he didn't choose to do it step by step from the beginning, but became the shopkeeper, the eldest prince supervised the country, the second prince supervised the country and even the prime minister again and again.

In doing so, he directly showed an attitude, that is, he had no intention of imperial power.

One of the immediate consequences is that all careerists are given hope and opportunity. It is equivalent to him personally detonating all the contradictions that were originally hidden within Daqi.

It can be said that the situation that worries Xiaoguang in front of him is actually caused by him.

Otherwise, could he be more sluggish than Shen Lin and Xiaoguang, even if he was in a trance, even if he was in a trance, the ability to protect himself simply was still there, otherwise he would not be the cautious Chen An.

In the Great Zhou, he was able to climb step by step to the position of the head of the blood division and the deputy minister of the imperial court, and now he can build a country from scratch, if you want to say that there is no political consciousness, there is no city government, the ghost will not believe it, how can he let things develop to this point.

The fact that the situation has developed to the point where it is today can only show that he wants to.

However, a wise man must make a mistake in his thousand thoughts, he really missed Shen Lin's stubble, otherwise he would not have been so depressed when he saw Shen Lin in Jinlan Hall just now.

Chen An would never do anything unprepared, although the development of things and the movement of the court situation were all under his control, he was still used to leaving himself some means to flip the table if necessary.

For example, the Blood Moon Knife, and then Shen Lin's secret guard.

Now it seems that Shen Lin's secret guard is unreliable, mainly because he mistook Shen Lin as a person, or rather, he finally relented and didn't give up Shen Lin, the old man.

But it's not too late to try to remedy it, Qiu Yuan can cultivate it to do this.

Of course, with his control and the protection of the Blood Moon Knife, Qiu Yuan may never be used, but it is a hole card after all, which can be used as a heavy insurance.

So he looked at the little light in front of him and said: "The current situation, the eldest brother has a mental number, you have to believe the eldest brother." Well, it just so happens that you are here today, and the eldest brother is also looking for you to have something. ”

"What?"

Xiaoguang is also good at this, as long as Chen An says that there is a way, he will not ask again, he has always believed in his eldest brother like this.

Chen An pondered for a moment and said, "If you have nothing to do, go to the north to see how the construction of the Sword Sect is going over there, and at the same time give some necessary help, and bring a message to that person." ”

"What?"

Chen An's voice was very low: "Ask him to help me and train some people ......"

After all, Qiu Yuan and the others are outsiders, and it is really difficult to take root in Donglai, and their cultivation is too poor, although their foundation is not weak, but they still need time to grow, so it is essential to seek a refuge.

Of course, Chen An couldn't cultivate them under his own hands, that is, he clearly told everyone that he still had such a force in his hands, and he couldn't play the role of a hidden dragon at all. It was just right to put it under the wing of Lord Fu Qing.

If you want the horse to run, you have to give the horse grazing, and after explaining to Xiaoguang, Chen An added: "You can tell him to help me this time, if he wants to go back to his hometown to see it in the future, I will also help him." ”
