Lu Qing's position as the Liaodong Marquis had also been confirmed. However, to Lu Qing, this was just a good reputation.
After all, he was now the governor of Youzhou, and the entire Youzhou was under his jurisdiction. The feudal land of Liaodong was only better in name.
Of course, the benefits were also obvious. After being conferred the title of Liaodong Marquis, Lu Qing's identity had undergone a huge change.
Previously, because he had bought an official position, many people in the world actually looked down on him.
However, things were different now. With the Marquis, the entire Liaodong was his private territory. In that case, Lu Qing could be considered a noble family.
This was because this title could be passed down. In just a few decades, the Lu family, which owned a county, would become a new first-rate family in the world.
After all, wasn't the Yuan family of four generations and three dukes powerful? However, they didn't have a Marquis.
Of course, with the foundation of the Yuan family in Runan, although Runan was not their title in name, in fact, the entire Runan was actually the private property of the Yuan family. Not to mention Runan, even the entire Yuzhou was the same.
All in all, Lu Qing, who had the title of Liaodong Marquis, would be an aristocratic family from now on. No one could use his status to criticize him anymore. After all, his status had already surpassed 99.99% of the people in this era.
As the banquet ended, Liu Hong was also tired. He immediately gave the order for all the officials to leave.
In his opinion, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion was over, it was time for him to continue enjoying himself.
As Lu Qing walked out of the palace, two groups of people immediately came to welcome him.
They were He Jin and Zhang Rang's men. Their purpose in coming was obvious. They wanted to rope Lu Qing in.
After all, as long as they could get Lu Qing, the elite cavalry outside the city would be their greatest help.
The generals and tyrants who had risen during the Yellow Turban Rebellion were actually the targets of both sides. However, compared to Lu Qing, these people were far less important.
"Fengxiao, whose banquet do you think we should go to?”
In the inn, Lu Qing looked at the two invitations in his hands and asked Guo Jia.
Guo Jia thought for a moment and shook his head.
"No one. My lord has two hundred thousand soldiers in Youzhou. We don't need to listen to anyone.”
"No matter how the Central Plains changes, it's impossible for it to interfere with the development of Youzhou Province. When the world is in chaos, it'll be the time for us to leave Youzhou Province.”
Guo Jia said. Lu Qing had no fear of the imperial power in front of him, so he was very direct. If there was a chance, he would definitely push Lu Qing to get a share of the throne.
Lu Qing nodded and directly threw away He Jin and Zhang Rang's invitations. However, he was suddenly attracted by an invitation.
"Wang Zhonglang? Is this Wang Yun?"
Lu Qing asked Guo Jia. They hadn't even entered Luoyang yet, but Guo Jia had already scouted out the city.
Therefore, he glanced at Lu Qing and nodded.
"It's indeed Wang Yun. Why is my lord interested?”
Wang Yun's official position was not low, but compared to the three dukes and generals, he could only be considered a second-tier official in the court.
It was obvious that the invitation was just a gesture. No one would think that Lu Qing would attend a banquet for a mere middle-aged man.
"Let's go."
Lu Qing said with a smile. The main reason was that he had already met Cai Zhaoji. At that time, she was a heavenly being.
If even Cai Zhaoji was this ridiculous, then what would the legendary Diao Chan look like?
As the news of Lu Qing agreeing to attend the banquet spread, Luoyang City was in an uproar.
However, He Jin and Zhang Rang were not angry because they saw Lu Qing's choice, which was to not help either side. After all, he chose a banquet for a mere Zhonglang, which clearly showed that he was not interested in the power struggle in Luoyang.
Although it was a pity, it was still a good result. After all, as long as Lu Qing participated, even if he received his support in name, he might not be at ease.
After all, no one could bear the consequences if such a person suddenly betrayed them.
The next night, Lu Qing brought Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to the Prince's mansion. As for Lu Bu and Zhao Yun, they stayed in the military camp outside the city.
As for Guo Jia, this guy had let himself loose since he came to Luoyang. If he went to Goulan now, he would definitely be able to find him.
"This lowly official greets Lord Marquis."
When he saw Lu Qing, Wang Yun quickly bowed and saluted him. His attitude could be said to be extremely humble.
After all, Wang Yun wasn't a big shot at the moment. He only had a good official position as Henan Yin, but compared to Lu Qing, who was the provincial governor of a state and had 200,000 troops under his command, he was far inferior.
He had waited for Dong Zhuo to enter the capital. At that time, Dong Zhuo had been killed or offended too many civil officials. In the end, Wang Yun could only be promoted to the position of Minister of State.
However, it was not the time for Dong Zhuo to be in power, so Wang Yun was just a small figure.
"Wang Zhonglang, you're welcome."
Lu Qing kicked him lightly. He was rather curious.
With his current status and power, he wondered if Wang Yun would take out his secret weapon, Diao Chan.
