When Mao Jue heard this, he immediately understood Chen Yan's doubts, Chen Yan's meaning was obvious, that is, he was afraid that the people around the emperor would slander him, but slander was something that was inevitable for almost every famous general with great power.

At the beginning, Wang Jian went south with almost the country's troops to destroy Chu, and he had to do everything possible to curry favor with Qin Shi Huang, otherwise, I am afraid that the Chu State has not been destroyed, and the Wang family will be destroyed.

And now Chen Yan's situation is almost exactly the same as Wang Jian back then, although the current Son of Heaven is Emperor Han Xian instead of Qin Shi Huang, but if there is really a villain who is slandered in the back, then Chen Yan will fall into a situation where there is no return.

"What does Da Sima mean...... I know very well, but Da Sima has been fighting abroad all the year round, and this matter in the court is inevitably beyond our control. ”

Mao Jue frowned and said slowly.

It can be seen that Mao Jue's attitude towards this matter is not optimistic, and Chen Yan obviously looks at this matter negatively.

After thinking about it for a long time, Mao Jue finally said: "But this matter is not impossible, and there are no more than two ways to solve it." ”

Chen Yan hurriedly leaned forward and asked, "Oh? I don't know which two? ”

Mao Jue immediately said: "First, it is to arrange his own henchmen in the court, especially the people who serve in the court, these people must be loyal to Da Sima in order to let them get close to the Son of Heaven." ”

Chen Yan frowned and said: "This is a little difficult, after all, the Son of Heaven is no longer young at this time, and most of the people around him have followed him since childhood. ”

Chen Yan said as he spoke, he suddenly remembered Cao Cao, Cao Cao also changed the internal servants and officials around Emperor Han Xian with a thunderous momentum, if Chen Yan did not reach the current position, he would definitely feel that Cao Cao had already had a heart of disobedience and wanted to do great rebellious things, but when he really reached this position now, he found that Cao Cao back then was probably just for self-preservation.

Maybe Cao Cao, who coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes in history, was really not a big rebel, everything he did was just to protect himself.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan suddenly sighed, his current behavior and trajectory are almost the same as Cao Cao in history, will he really follow in Cao Cao's footsteps and become the second Cao Cao?

Chen Yan didn't dare to think about this question, he didn't feel like he was the second Cao Cao, or the second who was who, he just wanted to be himself, just wanted to seek a peace for the people and the world in this troubled world.

Chen Yan came from the Taiping Era, so he deeply experienced the horror and pain of war, and he looked forward to peace as soon as possible more than others, so he didn't want to follow Cao Cao's old path and let the whole world be divided into three, what he needed was a unified world, and what he needed was the re-prosperity of the Han Dynasty.

Seeing Chen Yan's solemn face, Mao Jue hurriedly asked, "Da Sima?" ”

Chen Yan was awakened by Mao Jue's scream, and hurriedly said, "Oh? Oh...... I said that we might not be able to replace the servant next to the Son of Heaven. ”

Mao Jue nodded and said: "This is also expected, although we can't replace the internal servants, we can clean up the officials in the DPRK and China, after all, you are a dignified and powerful man, and you still have certain rights in the selection of materials and energy." ”

Chen Yan nodded, this is a good point, although Chen Yan does not have the right to decide who the servants who serve the Son of Heaven are, but he can recommend talents to become Beijing officials. This time, Mao Yan's ability was fully revealed, Chen Yan would definitely arrange a position for Mao Yu in the imperial court, plus Zhong Xuan, who had already served in the imperial court, Chen Yan's power in the court had almost gradually become outlined.

But with only a few henchmen, he still can't give Chen Yan enough security.

After all, the struggle in the court is far more complicated than imagined, if there is no perfect strategy, Chen Yan will inevitably be in danger, he thought of this, and continued to ask: "Xiaoxian, you seem to have said that there is another method, I don't know what this method is?" ”

Mao Jue muttered when he heard this: "This method is the most fundamental method, and it is also the most primitive method, which is...... Marriage. ”

After saying this, Chen Yan and Mao Jue were silent, and the atmosphere was slightly embarrassing.

Chen Yan couldn't help but start blaming himself for being stupid, he hadn't found out about such a simple method.

Yes, marriage is indeed the simplest and most effective method.

After listening to Mao Jue's silence, he spoke: "At this time, although you are the mainstay of the imperial court and have won the trust of the Son of Heaven, after all, your surname is Chen, and the surname of the Son of Heaven is Liu, you are a clan with a foreign surname, plus your strength is getting stronger and stronger, you can almost subvert the Han Dynasty with one person." The Son of Heaven trusted you again before, it was also because of internal and external troubles, because there were Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, and the princes from outside the country, but when these factors were cleared by you, for the Son of Heaven, his threat was only you, Da Sima......"

When he said this, the cold sweat on Chen Yan's body had already begun to flutter down, the cunning rabbit died, the lackeys cooked, the birds were exhausted, and the good bow was hidden...... This is definitely not just talk.

And Mao Jue is right, when the princes of the world and the forces that rebelled against the Han Dynasty have disappeared, the only threat to the Son of Heaven is himself, only this great Sima Chen Yan.

After all, Chen Yan's strength at this time was already strong enough, and he had already achieved great success.

I only heard Mao Jue continue: "Da Sima, with all due respect, the Son of Heaven's trust in you before was probably only because he was too young, coupled with Dong Zhuo's threat to him at that time, and now Dong Zhuo is dead, and the Son of Heaven is no longer young, you are just a general stationed outside the gate for him at this time...... After all, he and you are two people who are not related by blood. ”

Chen Yan nodded when he heard this, and there was a lot more cold sweat.

Mao Jue is still not over: "But after the marriage, it is different, marriage is the simplest and most direct way to change from two families to a family, as long as you are willing, the Son of Heaven at this time will never refuse this proposal, because at this time he also needs your strong strength to escort him." ”

Chen Yan heard this, nodded again, he only felt that he was almost out of breath when Mao Jue said this, he never thought that the problems within the imperial court were more headaches for him than Yuan Shao and Cao Cao outside......

After a long sigh, Chen Yan stood up abruptly and said slowly: "Xie Xiao first instructed, the matter of friendship must be put on the agenda......
