Chapter 29: The Three Major Influences

Of course, the minister's opinion is more than that. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" A confident smile appeared at the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and his eyes were extraordinarily bright and clear, as if a pair of charming jewels attracted people's attention, "When the emperor drastically rectified the government, the first to be traumatized was the relatives, and those scholars would also have indirect losses, so they were unwilling to have the interests in their hands or about to arrive like boiled ducks flying, so they planned to join forces to prepare for a fight with the emperor, but unfortunately the matter was not secret and was known by the emperor, The plan was aborted. ”

"Later, some people thought that there was no chance of winning against the emperor in this way, so they thought of using the trick of leading the water to the east, and they set their sights on the enemy of Great Xia, Beihu." When Shen Yan said this, his eyes secretly glanced at the emperor, and seeing that the emperor's expression remained unchanged, he boldly continued, "Beihu will be Koubian almost every winter, and the beautiful name is to fight the grass valley, and the people at the border are miserable. ”

"What you said is all old things, and it doesn't seem to have much to do with the court pattern I asked you?" A smile appeared in the corner of Xia Qi's eyes, with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Although Great Xia has not reached the grand occasion of the prosperous era under the rule of the emperor, it is not very far from the prosperous era, and if it goes further, the grand occasion of the prosperous era is about to bloom." Shen Yan ignored the dissatisfaction in the emperor's eyes, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, "When the emperor was about to break out again with the strength he had accumulated for many years, he suddenly found that things were a little out of direction, or that there were some things that the emperor knew in his heart, but he lost the strength of his control. ”

"How so?" Shen Yan didn't seem to be able to find the exact words, and his right hand gently scratched the back of his head, "While the emperor is accumulating strength, the scholar clan gate valve who is unwilling to fail is also not idle, but this time they have become more sophisticated, or the means are more obscure, they no longer openly oppose the emperor, nor do they borrow foreign powers, but put their eyes on the emperor's side, in a vain attempt to disintegrate the emperor's carefully built barriers from the emperor's side." ”

"It is undeniable that the methods of the scholar clan gate lord this time are indeed clever, and the effect is also very obvious, under their careful deployment, many princes do not know or do not understand the emperor's grand cause and come together with them openly or secretly, quietly eating away at the essence of the Great Xia Foundation, destroying the emperor's layout and hard work for many years." A sneer appeared at the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, in order to compete for power and profit, these princes did not understand the emperor's hegemony and layout at all, or they have been secretly sabotaging it for their own selfish interests, how could the emperor pass the chair under his ass to such a prince, thinking of this, Shen Yan secretly rejoiced that he successfully rejected the olive branch of the twelve princes, otherwise he would also become the soul of the emperor's sword, although he would be suppressed and sniped by the twelve princes and other forces in the future.

"Your Majesty, don't ask me how I know the thoughts and practices of the Shi clan's gate lords." Shen Yan said that there was a trace of doubt on the emperor's face when he said this, and said with some shame, "The emperor also said that since ancient times, there has been no thousand-year-old dynasty, only a thousand-year-old family, these scholars are actually the same as Shangjia, they are all pursuing the maximization of interests, and the emperor's grand cause is destroying their interests, of course they will not allow the emperor to do this, but unfortunately, they met the emperor such a great monarch." ”

When Shen Yan said this, he deliberately gave the emperor a certain high hat to make the emperor happy, or to relieve the oppressive atmosphere, otherwise Shen Yan really didn't dare to continue.

"Seeing this, how could the relatives and Haoqiang miss this opportunity that they thought was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so they surfaced one after another to support the prince from their family or the prince tied to their interests, in a vain attempt to achieve the merit of the dragon and take the opportunity to maximize the benefits, for this reason, they either cooperate with the clan gate lords or fight, but no matter which means they use, they are like moths gnawing the essence and blood of Great Xia." Seeing the emperor's gentle bow, he seemed to approve of his remarks, and seemed to be pondering, and an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth.

"These forces are intertwined, influencing each other, fighting each other, meeting and cooperating, infiltrating the tentacles into the court, the army, and even the lower levels of the yamen, from which the emperor's energy is contained, so that the emperor cannot draw more strength to calmly deploy and deal with it, these are terrible, but they will not affect the foundation of Great Xia." Speaking of this, Shen Yan couldn't help but glance at the emperor again, seeing that there was a trace of inexplicable emotion in the other party's eyes, Shen Yan didn't seem to want to say any more, but the occasional hint of appreciation in the emperor's eyes had to make Shen Yan continue to speak.

"The minister thinks that there are three points that affect the foundation of Great Xia." Shen Yan's eyes couldn't help but look at the rockery not far away, and a hint of contemplation appeared in his eyes, as if he was taking a great risk, and seemed to be organizing language, and seemed to want to get the emperor's encouragement.

"The first is the influence of the Scholar Gatekeeper. Although they do not have an orthodox reputation, their influence in the local area far exceeds that of the government, and many things that the government cannot solve, these scholars can easily solve, and many times the government cannot control these scholars, for example, some of the people of the scholars have obviously violated the national law, and when the government investigates or pursues it, they are finally used by them to use privileges or some shady means to pull the local officials into their camp, and in the end they either do not do it, or they use the family law to deal with it, and the national law is ignored. ”

"The second is the low-level officials, clerks, and staff members in the yamen at all levels. These people don't seem to have much power, but they are definitely a group of forces that should not be underestimated, they are not just a group of individuals, they are more of comrades, classmates, teachers and students and other relationships are intertwined, for their own interests, they can serve the yang and disobey the yin, and the lower will bully the people. The government knows what kind of people this is and what kind of threat it will pose to itself, but in real life, the government cannot leave this group of people, and the existence of this group of people confirms an old saying: Hades are easy to see, but little ghosts are difficult. ”

When Shen Yan said this, he paused for a long time, his eyes were a little confused, a trace of helplessness and a trace of panic, and he no longer had the confidence and calmness he had before.

"Well, why didn't you say that?" Seeing that Shen Yan stopped for a long time and didn't open his mouth, a complicated look appeared in Xia Qi's eyes, including appreciation, helplessness, panic, majesty, and a hint of killing intent.

"The third point, the minister doesn't dare to say." Shen Yan's eyes flashed with a hint of panic, and the corners of his mouth flashed with a faint bitterness.

"Haven't you always been bold? How dare you say it. A trace of doubt appeared in Xia Qi's eyes, how could a person who dared to fight with the prince be a coward, could it be that his third point was too appalling or was he trying to win my appreciation?

"Your Majesty, the ministers are as timid as rats." Shen Yan smiled self-deprecatingly, bold, it also depends on who he is facing, facing the emperor who is invisible, without the permission of the emperor, how dare he say it.

"Say, no matter what you say, I will forgive you for your innocence." Xia Qi seemed to understand Shen Yan's intentions, and a pair of weathered eyes swept over Shen Yan indifferently, and a hint of joy appeared in the corners of his eyes.

"Your Majesty, you really don't blame the ministers for talking nonsense?" Seeing Xia Qi's affirmative chin signal, a helpless smile appeared at the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, what is this, do you dig a pit for yourself? "Then the minister spoke in vain."

"The third is the emperor's successor. Although this is the emperor's family affair, but the emperor's business is the country's business, if the successor cannot embody and comprehend the emperor's will, he will not be able to follow the rules and follow the path set by the emperor, and it is very likely that he will give up halfway, or completely overthrow. ”

"I really didn't expect that this cynical-looking young man in front of me would be able to explain the situation in Great Xia so thoroughly, no wonder the emperor would pay special attention to him and promote him to be reckless." A little star flashed in Xu Sanyuan's eyes, Shen Yan's performance completely subverted his perception of him, it seems that the emperor's promotion of him is not an accident, and his future must be limitless.

"No, isn't Shen Yan from a mud leg, how can he know the pattern of the court better than me, the prince, as if he is an old fox who has been in the palace for a long time, the most important thing is that he said these remarks, his father was not angry at all, if he was replaced by any prince, he would have been reprimanded by his father a long time ago, I really don't know how this freak has such good luck." A hint of jealousy and envy appeared in Xia Yuanxu's eyes.

"Shen Yan, your courage is really not ordinary, you dare to talk about my taboo." There was a hint of anger in Xia Qi's eyes, but behind the anger there was a hint of contemplation and a hint of appreciation.

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know that this is a taboo, besides, the emperor said that no matter what the minister says, he will forgive the minister's innocence, but you are the emperor, Chrysostom Yuyan, how can you change it at will." Shen Yan knelt down with a plop, his eyes didn't squeeze out tears for a long time, he quickly lowered his head, secretly dipped a little saliva with his hand and gently smeared it on his eyes, and then raised his head and looked at Xia Qi with a face full of grievances and a bitter face.

"Don't act like a scoundrel to me." Xia Qi was amused by Shen Yan's rogue appearance, and his tense face also showed a faint smile, "Since you told me about these three major influences, then you also tell me about the methods to solve these three major influences." ”

"Your Majesty, you are overestimating the ability of your ministers. If there is no emperor's appreciation and promotion, the minister is still a grassroots figure who is still unknown, how can he have today's glory, with the minister's experience and knowledge structure, the minister can say that these three major influences are already the limit, and how do you know how to crack it. Shen Yan's face showed a trace of helplessness and bitterness.

"Don't pretend to me, you kid, just say it, I know you have the answer." An inexplicable look flashed in Xia Qi's eyes, "I'm looking forward to what kind of answer you can give me." ”
