System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

General's Mansion

It's just a matter of changing the plaque.

As soon as the morning court was over and the enthronement ceremony was completed, someone came and hung up the plaque.

"Does this thing symbolize power?"

Dong Yu was playing with a small axe with an exquisite shape.

"My Lord, you are joking. It is just a ceremonial vessel."

“The power, their authority, is given by the person who gives them, not by the objects themselves.”

Guo Jia explained with a smile.

"That being said, throughout history, many officials have risen and fallen in the political arena. Isn't this their ultimate goal?"

Xun You said with some emotion.

Entering the court without bowing, wearing sword and shoes as robes, praising and worshipping without naming one's name, and being bestowed with the nine gifts are the final steps to becoming a high-ranking official.

If you go any higher, there really is no limit to what you can get.

Moreover, even for an ordinary minister in a high position, it would be difficult for him to receive such rewards during the heyday of the emperor's power.

Since ancient times, it has been a struggle between imperial power and prime ministerial power.

The more power the emperor has, the less power the prime minister has, and vice versa.

"My lord, news came from Luoyang yesterday. My uncle said that General Lu and Chief Cui had retreated their troops from Yanzhou to Luoyang."

"Before leaving, the two of them relocated over 20,000 households from Yanzhou to Luoyang."

"There are also over ten thousand new recruits, as well as Cao Cao's general Xiahou Dun."

"This is the memorial submitted by my uncle."

Xun You said this and handed the prepared bamboo slips to Dong Yu.

"Oh?"

"One hundred thousand households?"

Dong Yu was somewhat happy.

This was obviously not something Lu Bu could have thought of.

With Lu Bu's intelligence, fighting and killing are no problem, but he doesn't have the ability to engage in politics.

Obviously, this is Cui Yan's masterpiece.

However, this masterpiece always feels a bit like Jia Xu's shadow.

So cruel and sinister.

Dong Yu had a deep impression of Cui Yan.

He is upright and dignified, a standard template of a decent person.

How come after spending so much time with Jia Xu, he becomes like a fox!

"Xu Chu?"

"hiss!"

Dong Yu was flipping through the memorial, and there was obvious surprise in his eyes when he saw the words "Xu Chu".

He thought Cao Cao had already subdued Xu Chu.

Unexpectedly, there would be such a surprise on Lu Bu’s trip to Yanzhou this time.

"Is there anything special about this person?"

Guo Jia touched his short beard and asked curiously.

“It’s somewhat similar to E Lai.”

Dong Yu thought about it and gave a relatively fair evaluation.

"Same...silly?"

Guo Jia showed an expression of a black question mark.

"..."

"Don't let Guard Dian hear this, or he'll fight you to death."

Xun You on the side couldn't help laughing.

"Come to think of it, I'm starting to miss Evil."

Guo Jia grinned, and the image of that rough man who was simple-minded but had a cunning spirit emerged in his mind.

"almost."

"Wait until the matter in Chang'an is settled."

"Let's go back to Luoyang."

"Although Jizhou is a good place, it's just too remote."

“It’s not convenient enough.”

After hearing what Guo Jia said, he also missed the ladies in Jizhou.

Compared with the size of Chang'an, Jizhou has higher quality and quantity.

Judging from the time, it won’t be long before Diao Chan and the others will give birth.

What a scumbag!

She never got to see her son born.

He is never there when the ladies are most helpless and weak.

He was not there when Liu Mu, Cai Yan, Feng Yu and Yin Lan gave birth to their children, and he was not there when Diao Chan and others gave birth to their children.

If it's not a coincidence, then he's a scumbag to the core!

"General, the people sent to Yizhou have returned."

A black ice guard dressed in tight clothes walked in and clasped his fists towards Dong Yu.

"Less than a month?"

"So fast?"

"What's the situation in Yizhou?"

Dong Yu's expression lit up and he asked curiously.

The last time news came back from Yizhou was more than half a month ago.

Liu Yan died of illness, and the situation in Yizhou became serious.

The Black Ice Guards took advantage of the fact that Yizhou officials and nobles were overwhelmed by their support for Liu Zhang's ascension to the throne and secretly brought out the families of Sun Zhao and Wu Yi.

The roads in Shu are difficult to travel, so it is really surprising that we can return in less than a month.

"When we passed through Hanzhong, Zhang Lu sent people to escort us away."
