Three Kingdoms: Divine Choice

Two days passed, and soon it was the day of the birthday banquet.

This is a birthday banquet hosted by Youzhou Bichai Su Ping.

It stands to reason that it is not worth holding such a grand banquet without driving an official position.

But the situation in Youzhou is different, and Su Ping is a special case.

He held a lot of power in Youzhou, and he dared to confront Liu Yu, and there were many officials under him who were attached to him.

Once he is taken, it will affect the entire Youzhou officialdom and cause great turmoil.

It can be said that Su Ping himself is of little value.

But he involved too many people to sort out.

Now that the war in Youzhou had just subsided, Liu Yu knew that if he made a big move now, then the entire state capital would collapse.

Once the state capital is paralyzed, the control over the local counties will be weakened, and then a situation will be formed in which the local government is independent and the people are not happy.

Before Liu Yu came, he was Zongzheng, one of the Nine Qings in the imperial court, so he could often see the emperor.

He knew that Emperor Han Ling's health was deteriorating day by day.

Now it seems that the emperor is in power, but in fact, the clan and foreign relatives have united against the eunuchs.

The entire imperial court was like a huge whirlpool, and the slightest mistake would be swept into it and become a victim of the struggle.

The central government is caught in infighting, how can there be effort to manage the localities?

Not only Youzhou, but also many other places have begun to go independent.

Nominally, he honored the Son of Heaven, served the imperial court, and accepted jurisdiction.

But in fact, it is secretly accumulating strength, breaking away from the jurisdiction of the central and state capitals, and splitting off.

Liu Yu knew that Youzhou could not withstand such a toss now, so he did not dare to move Su Ping.

This is what has led to the current situation.

Of course, Liu Yu will compromise, in large part because he does not have enough military power in his hands.

Most of the soldiers and horses in the entire Youzhou were placed in Gongsun Zanna to fight against the foreign tribes of the grassland.

The soldiers and horses of each county in the region are all independent and are only controlled by the taishou of each county.

Therefore, in Liu Yu's hands, there was basically no other army except for some soldiers and horses around Jixian.

If he can have enough soldiers and horses, he can completely take Su Ping, and then use the army to suppress the situation, and there will be no rebellion.

In the end, the strength is still not enough!

Su Yan got up early in the morning, then had breakfast with Guo Jia and others in the morning, and went to Su Mansion.

After all, he is now the Grand Prince of Su Mansion, and today's birthday banquet should welcome guests at the door.

When he came, he found that Su Ze had also arrived here.

He snorted and didn't pay attention to Su Yan, and Su Yan didn't bother to look at him.

After a while, Su Ping came out of the mansion.

Today is his birthday banquet, he invited a lot of famous gentlemen from Youzhou to participate, in order to show respect, he should also stand here to receive it.

Seeing Su Yan here, he was a little surprised, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

He looked at Su Yan and said, "I didn't think that you, a rebel, would come to welcome guests so early." "

Su Yan said lightly: "I am the eldest son of Su Mansion, today is my father's birthday banquet, if I don't stand up to greet me, it is a faux pas, which will bring shame to my Su Mansion." "

"Even if you know something. "

Su Ping snorted, don't go overboard.

After a while, he suddenly said: "I have already found out what happened that day, this matter is indeed Ze'er's fault, and it is your father's mistake to blame you." "

Su Yan raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Su Ping to admit it so crisply.

However, he didn't say anything, shaking his head and saying, "If only my father could understand." "

Su Ping snorted, don't go overboard, there is no follow-up.

Looking at his appearance, he just admitted his mistake to Su Yan, and he didn't even want to say a word of apology.

Su Yan sneered slightly in his heart and did not speak.

He had long lost hope in Su Ping, so he was not disappointed if Su Ping did not apologize.

If there are no expectations in your heart, you will naturally not be disappointed.

At this time, it was still relatively early, and no one came for the time being, so Su Ping chatted with Su Ze on the side.

The two talked and laughed, completely ignoring Su Yan next to them.

Su Yan saw it in his eyes, his emotions were not waves, there was no anger, and there was no jealousy.

While talking to Su Ping, Su Ze glanced at Su Yan from time to time and cast a smug look at him.

This is a demonstration to him.

Su Yan turned a blind eye and waited quietly.

Time passed little by little, the sun rose three poles, and the sun slowly hung and rose to the sky.

At this time, officials from the state capital and even other counties came to the prefecture one after another.

Su Ping took Su Ze with him and constantly introduced him to the visiting officials.

Su Yan was standing beside them, but Su Ping didn't mention him at all, completely hanging him aside.

Su Ze secretly rejoiced in his heart.

This is the difference between him and Su Yan, even if Su Yan is excellent, he is still not as popular as Su Ping.

He is Su Ping's favorite son.

Su Yan looked at it in his eyes, not humble or arrogant, and did not express anything.

In his opinion, this was done by Su Ping on purpose.

Before Su Ping scolded him, he resisted hard, making Su Ping lose face, and his heart was very unhappy.

He is his father, but Su Yan is now the Taishou of Zhuo County, and he is already a member of the party, and he is no longer the eldest son who is at his disposal.

The wings are hard, and he can't help him.

He deliberately got close to Su Ze and left Su Yan aside, just to show his rights as a father and make Su Yan feel uncomfortable.

Unfortunately, Su Yan had no feelings for him, so this trick did not work at all.

"Zhongshan State Minister, Chen Yan has arrived!"

Suddenly, a chant sounded.

Su Ping was stunned when he heard this.

Zhongshan State is a county state adjacent to Youzhou and is a political district under the jurisdiction of Jizhou.

He just doesn't drive in Youzhou, he is very powerful in Youzhou, but it is not easy to make it in Jizhou, this Zhongshan Xiang's arrival, whose favor is it undertake?

Su Ping was very puzzled in his heart, but he was very happy in his heart.

Even Zhongshan Xiang of Jizhou came to give him a birthday celebration, how much face did he have to have?

He turned his mind, looked at Su Ze, and asked, "Ze'er, was this Zhongshan Xiang invited by you?"

Previously, Su Ze was responsible for inviting celebrities from all over Youzhou to the banquet, so he subconsciously thought that this Chen Yan was invited by Su Ze.

Su Ze's face froze, did he remember that he had invited Chen Yan?

His mind turned, and he glanced at Su Yan and found that his face was calm, and he had a decision in his heart.

He looked at Su Ping and said, "Father, my son just sent someone to pass on the message, and he didn't have hope, but he didn't expect Chen Xiang to really come." "

"Wu'er, you have a heart. "

Su Ping was very happy when he heard this, and he held the short beard under his chin, very proud of Su Ze's action.

His gaze turned to look at Su Yan, with indifference in his eyes.

"See no, this is the real face to the Su family, the real filial piety." "

Su Yan looked into his eyes and read the meaning inside.
