His relationship with Empress Dowager He was still a secret, unless he held the power of the world. However, he was close to Empress Dowager He because he used Empress Dowager He as a stepping stone to climb up.
We can talk about the future in the future. Empress Dowager He has taken the "Beauty Setting Pearl" and will always look like an 18-year-old. She can still be by his side forever.
When Empress Dowager He heard what Liu Yue said, she smiled and said,"
"Liu Lang, going to Yingchuan to be the prefect is just a springboard. This widow wants to give Liu Lang's talent more space to display.”
Empress Dowager He was indeed a master at playing politics. He understood that if a person wanted to be loyal to him, they had to give him enough benefits.
Of course, the more power Liu Yue had, the more stable her position would be.
When Liu Yue heard Empress Dowager He's promise, he was overjoyed. He hugged her and kissed her fiercely.
"Lingsi, I'll remember your intentions. What power and ambition can compare to you?”
Liu Yue's dream was to be drunk on the knees of a beauty and wake up to control the world. It wasn't just Empress Dowager He's promise that could satisfy him.
Empress Dowager He's beautiful eyes were blurred.
"Liu Lang, you're really too good to aijia…"
……
In the Grand Tutor's Residence, Yuan Kui sat in his study, his brows tightly knitted as he fell into deep thought.
Today's discussion had actually allowed Liu Yue to become the Yingchuan prefect and the commander of the Imperial Forest. This was really beyond his expectations. This was equivalent to letting the fat meat that was about to reach his mouth escape from his Yuan family's mouth. How could he not be angry?
Although the Yulin Lieutenant General and the Yingchuan Mayor were both third-grade, the Yulin Lieutenant General only had military power, while the Yingchuan Mayor was in charge of a county and became a duke!
Originally, he wanted his son, Yuan Shu, Yuan Benchu, to take over Yingchuan and wipe out the Gold Bandits who only existed in name. That way, Yuan Shu would have more capital to be promoted. In the future, he would be able to take over the mantle of the Yuan family and become one of the three dukes, continuing his glory.
But now, Liu Yue suddenly appeared and snatched away what originally belonged to the Yuan family.
"The Empress Dowager must be old and muddle-headed. She must have been bewitched by those damn eunuchs, which is why she gave such an important position as Yingchuan Prefecture to a child.”Yuan Kui could only console himself in his heart.
What made him even more curious was that He Jin actually did not try his best to stop this matter. His Yuan family and He Jin could be considered allies.
The more Yuan Kui thought about it, the angrier he became, and he felt depressed.
Knock, knock, knock!
There was a knock on the door.
"Father!" Yuan Shu said softly as he knocked on the door.
"Come in."
After Yuan Shu came in, he stood opposite his father and asked,"Father, I have just returned to Luoyang. How was the court meeting today?”A hopeful expression appeared on Yuan Shu's face.
Now, Yuan Shu was just a county magistrate, a mere fifth-grade official.
"Sigh…today's court meeting is very depressing…" Yuan Kui shook his head and sighed.
"Depressed? Was there something that made the father of one of the three dukes depressed?”Yuan Shu's heart sank as he thought to himself.
"In today's court meeting, His Majesty conferred the title of Yingchuan Prefect to a person called Liu Yue.”Yuan Kui paused for a moment before continuing,"There are many states and counties in the world. Why did you choose Yingchuan for the road?"”
Yuan Shu felt hatred in his heart. "Father, firstly, Yingchuan has many talents. I can recruit many useful talents there.”
"Secondly, Yingchuan is known as the small capital, and its prosperity is second only to Luoyang.”
"Thirdly, the Golden Bandits in Yuzhou are already dead in name. Whoever goes to exterminate them will be earning merit points for them.”
Yuan Shu took a deep breath after he finished speaking. From this, it could be seen that his knowledge surpassed his old father, Yuan Kui.
Yuan Kui also felt stifled when he heard this, but he still comforted her softly,""My son, Gong Lu, is farsighted and has a plan in his heart. Even if he doesn't go to Yingchuan, he can still achieve great things.”
"Father, my Yuan Clan has four generations and three dukes, and is deeply rooted in the Imperial Court. Who is this Liu Yue to actually be able to snatch my position?”Yuan Shuxin asked.
Yuan Kui shook his head and smiled bitterly. He had participated in the Gathering of Grand Confucians and was deeply impressed by Liu Yue's talent. However, to be an official in the Imperial Court, talent alone was far from enough. One also needed an extremely deep background.
"Gong Lu, this Liu Yue is a great talent. He's not someone to be trifled with.”Yuan Kui said earnestly.
"Father, you worry too much. I think that among my peers, only I can compete with me. The others are not worth mentioning in my eyes.”
Yuan Shu didn't know that the Benchu he was talking about, which was Yuan Shao, was also feeling extremely depressed at this moment.
Liu Yue's sudden appearance was like a pearl covered in dust that suddenly emitted a dazzling light, attracting the attention of everyone in the world.
Originally, the world thought that the two brothers of the Yuan family, Yuan Shushao, were great talents of the world. They did not expect to be compared to Liu Yue all of a sudden. How could he not be disappointed?
In He Jin's General Manor, everyone was in the middle of a meeting.
Yuan Shao stood up and cupped his fists at He Jin."Great General, this Liu Yue is truly hateful to the extreme. He actually stole the limelight from Great General.”
Yuan Shao's words were vicious. He didn't directly say that he didn't like Liu Yue. Instead, he said that Liu Yue had stolen the limelight from the Great General, which made He Jin even angrier and hate Liu Yue even more.
"Pa!" He Jin slammed the table and stood up."This Liu Yue, I think he's ordinary. I didn't expect that he could get the support of all parties in the court.”
Everyone was stunned by He Jin's words!
Someone like Liu Yue was described as ordinary by him!
That kind of demeanor, that kind of talent, how many people in the world could compare to him?
appease the refugees;
Exterminate the Hongnong Gold Army;
He had saved the little girl from a speeding carriage…
He spoke frankly and confidently in the court…
These were all things that everyone was familiar with!
This chapter ends.
