"Yes, but I'm not sure."
Shen Yan glanced at Lu Changxin and said in a cold voice, "The one in charge of escorting the disaster relief grain this time is Lord Tian Congxi. He seems to be a distant relative of the Song family."
"Song family?"
Lu Changxin was stunned at first, then he immediately reacted, "Isn't it related to the Queen Mother?"
But this relief grain was ordered by the Empress Dowager. If she didn't want to, she could just disagree at the time. Why would she do this afterwards?
Looking at Lu Changxin's expression, Shen Yan knew that he was being stubborn, and then he frowned and said, "The Song family is not just the Queen Mother."
After being reminded by Shen Yan, Lu Changxin also understood, "Are you talking about Song Ping?"
"I think it's very possible."
As Shen Yan spoke, he turned around and took out another letter sealed in a box from the table and handed it to Lu Changxin, "Take a look at this."
While Lu Changxin was reading the letter, Shen Yan said, "My people have long discovered that Song Ping has private dealings with many officials. He usually pretends to be uninterested in work and hangs out with a bunch of young masters from aristocratic families, including the second son of the Feng family and the eldest son of the Liang family."
Lu Changxin was a very upright person, how could he listen to such dirty things? After Shen Yan finished speaking, he sneered with disdain, "They are just a bunch of idle people who bully men and women. What can they accomplish?"
Shen Yan did not refute his words, but said lightly, "They naturally can't achieve anything big, but don't forget their last names."
When Shen Yan finished speaking, Lu Changxin's indifferent expression just now suddenly disappeared.
Without him asking, Shen Yan explained, "The aristocratic families have existed in history for hundreds of years. Today, the forces among them are even more intertwined. Sometimes even the Queen Mother has to temporarily avoid their edge. Song Ping has a close relationship with these people, which shows that he is not willing to be just a small Minister of Personnel."
But it is also true that with the Empress Dowager as his aunt, even if Song Ping wanted to continue to be the Minister of Personnel, I am afraid the Empress Dowager would not allow it.
"But what can he do if he hangs out with these people? There are many sons of noble families, and occasionally there will be one or two useless ones, but these people will eventually be abandoned by their own families. Song Ping won't get much benefit from being too close to these people."
Lu Changxin might not understand what Shen Yan said, but what he said was not and was not the truth.
If Song Ping really had some plans, relying on these good-for-nothings would naturally lead to no success. Instead, it would be too easy for others to guess his thoughts and take precautions, just like Lu Changxin and Shen Yan now.
