Shen Bai, as Shen Xi's father, looked at Shen Xi's appearance that was not quite right during this time, and shook his head.

When he left, he just chanted a poem a little loudly, "Everything is fate, and nothing is up to anyone." ”

Shen Xi in the room heard the sound coming from outside, and naturally knew what Shen Bai meant.

I thought to myself. "If everything is fate, what else is that person struggling for? If everything is fate, isn't it that the strong are always strong, and the weak are always weak, and how can there be so many inspirational counterattacks in the world?"

Thinking of this, Shen Xi's slightly tired face suddenly exuded a trace of fighting spirit.

"I don't believe it!"

Since then, Shen Xi has become more and more busy every day. It allowed him to make friends with a group of like-minded people. There are also many officials who are depressed. This group of people is depressed every day, and they feel full of ambition and have nowhere to play.

And Shen Xi's activities are also controlled by a mysterious organization.

Sitting on the court hall, Emperor Chu on the nine-story platform, closed his eyes and listened to the report of the black-clothed spies.

This Chu royal family has cultivated the eyeliner since the first first emperor, and then it has been inherited from generation to generation, and in the Chu Imperial Palace, each emperor has never given up the cultivation of spies.

Generations of emperors have never really had a sense of security, the earliest mature prince, who has been living in fear since birth, this illusory title of emperor, shadowless and invisible power.

In the hearts of the successive Chu emperors, the imperial power is like the flower in the mirror, the moon in the water, it looks very beautiful, as if it is close to the end of the world, and it is within reach.

But the person sitting in this chair naturally knows that the so-called quan force is just a beautiful deception, and this one is perfectly done. It is so perfect that all beings in the world flock to it. It is so perfect that all beings in the world consciously produce hierarchical consciousness.

But the really powerful forces are also self-sufficient, which has an impact on the concentration effect of the emperor, such as the four major families in the imperial city, which can resist the existence of the imperial power, and this Wang quan force, which has been inherited from the generations of Gaozu, has always been an existence that does not listen to Xuan. It is also a thorn in the heart of the Chu emperors of all dynasties.

Usually happy and prosperous, what is hidden is the fearful heart of Emperor Chu.

As an emperor, he has the shore of the land, which is not the king's land, and the whole world is not the heart of the king's ministers. However, the four major families, as well as the major forces in the Chu State, have a faint tendency to pose a threat to the imperial power.

Especially the Ye family, who controlled most of the troops of the Chu State.

There is a scholarly Zhao family all over the world.

Sitting in business, the Zhou family is rich enough to rival the country.

The Li family, who controls the world's grain depots.

The Chu royal family can only rely on the luck of the Chu State and the maintenance of the people's faith. Although it can be taxed, it is mediocre compared to the four major families' specializations.

If it weren't for the Chu Emperor's order, he could seal the ancestral halls and temples in the mountains and rivers of the world, and build temples to maintain the orthodoxy of the dynasty and increase the fortune of the dynasty. The official position of the feudal world, the official title of orthodoxy, and the control of a large amount of land in the territory of Chu State.

Between one yin and one yang, the royal family of Chu can maintain its orthodox status.

However, the powerful forces of the four royal families seem to be the restrictors derived from the imperial power. The powerful imperial power and the bureaucratic clique seem to have this kind of hidden constraint. The cooperation between the two has many checks and balances.

The civil official clique controls public opinion in the world, and the praise and disapproval of Emperor Chu are also mixed.

After all, the people of the world don't know Emperor Chu, and all the images of Emperor Chu are spread by the civil and official group. Therefore, the civilian clique has greater restrictions and restrictions on imperial power.

For the civil official group and the four royal families, Emperor Chu hated the civil official group even more.

But between the three is a three-legged form.

The three groups are all in the land of Chu State, and they are silently arranging and encroaching, but they always have a certain degree of control.

With the development of the Chu Dynasty. Hanmen, a vast group of scholars, has also gradually expanded, becoming an existence that cannot be ignored among the three forces.

Before Shen Xi, it was not that no one had been so together, but in the end, they all ended up in nothing, because they harmed the common interests of the three groups, and anything that harmed the emperor would be suppressed and restricted by the three groups, which was also the bottom line of the three groups.

But what Shen Xi did was a little different from the previous people in the eyes of Emperor Chu. In the past, Hanmen thought about subversion.

Emperor Chu, who was sitting alone in the hall, looked at the report brought by the spies, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Is there really a person in the world who speaks for the poor?"

Emperor Chu's heart has long been cold, what is for the people of the world, for the sake of all living beings, it is just a means to increase their own Zheng governance chips, the Chu royal family wants to enhance their own power of governance, the four royal families, the civil official group is not as good as it, who will really think about the poor in the world?

Now a person suddenly appeared, saying that he wanted to speak out for the world's poor. Emperor Chu naturally didn't believe it in his heart.

"I'll take a look. Are you a fame or a villain? Emperor Chu's face, which was not angry and arrogant, looked a little playful.

Subsequently, the Chu Emperor issued many orders to many spies.

At this moment, Emperor Chu seemed to be a chess player who was holding on to his son, and the black-clothed spies who went out one by one were like black chess pieces, and they were placed in the most critical position in the center of the dynasty's power.

One yin and one yang is the way.

In the eyes of Emperor Chu, what he said in the court every morning was just a routine. Find out if the information is true.

And at this time, it is like a chess player, and the subtle long-term game is played.

And what Emperor Chu has to face is the chess players of many forces in the whole world. Each generation of Chu princes will learn from the previous Chu emperor. Learning is more about winning. It's about not losing.

In March, Emperor Chu paid more attention to Shenxi, and the forces of all parties were relatively stable. Shen Xi, who has risen as a rookie, seems to be really promoting the development of low-level scholars. At the grassroots level, many scholars from poor families were arranged. It seems to be going to be a draw.

Of course, this is also related to Emperor Chu's secret delegation of power to Shen Xi. Of course, about this secret decentralization, in addition to Emperor Chu, there are a few powerful masters, and few people know. Even Shen Xi didn't know.

Emperor Chu also wanted to see what Shen Xi could do.

When he saw that Shen Xi had united a group of scholars from the poor family and replaced some of the grassroots departments in the department, Emperor Chu smiled heartily.

But I didn't feel anything amazing. After all, the human heart is the most difficult existence to control. The general trend of the world is vast, and few people can control it.

In March, the Emperor of Chu arranged for someone to suppress Shen Xi.

This kind of suppression is also to test Shen Xi's character. Of course, it's also a boring game. Looking at how a person reacts to his own torture, there is also a psychological feeling of becoming tame.

In the end, Emperor Chu treated Shen Xi coldly. The reason is very simple, Shen Xi is still weak after all, and what he does is just a small fight. Moreover, Emperor Chu didn't want to support a powerful force anymore, so Shen Xi was essentially no different from other forces.

And this point seems to be a spell, the Chu Emperor supports a force, and in the end this force will also become an obstacle. People's hearts are greedy after all, and until this problem cannot be solved, Emperor Chu is not willing to support Shen Xi in governance.

Unless Shen Xi can get out of the current predicament on his own.
