Three Kingdoms: God-level selection

All the way to the governor's mansion, Su Yan introduced himself at the door, and then the guard went in to report.

After a while, the guard came back and invited him in.

After entering, a servant led him to the lobby where Liu Yu was.

Along the way, Su Yan looked at the scenery in the governor's mansion and found that it was very ordinary and not a valuable thing.

On the surface, it seems that Liu Yu should be quite honest, and the huge governor's mansion was not well decorated.

But Su Yan remembered that in history, after Liu Yu fought with Gongsun Zan and was killed. Gongsun Zan sent people to search his mansion, but found that his mansion was decorated very luxuriously, and he kept many concubines and beautiful girls.

The decorations on these beauties were very luxurious, far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

It can be seen that Liu Yu's integrity may be pretended on the surface.

In secret, he may also be a greedy and vain person, or at least a person who loves money.

Of course, this is only what later history books say, and no one knows the details.

Follow the servant to the outside of the lobby, then open the door and invite Su Yan in.

Su Yan stepped inside and saw an old man in his sixties wearing ordinary official uniform, writing on the desk.

The old man had gray hair on his temples and looked very old, but he looked very energetic.

Su Yan even saw a hint of red on his face.

He knew that the old man in front of him was the most powerful person in the entire Youzhou, the governor Liu Yu!

As he walked in, Liu Yu seemed not to notice, but continued to splash ink there.

Su Yan was not in a hurry to see this, and just stood there waiting silently.

After a while, as Liu Yu swung the brush violently, the whole piece of calligraphy was finished.

He exhaled, then looked at Su Yan and smiled,"Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time, Su Yan"

"It's okay, sir. I am very lucky to have the opportunity to watch you write here."

Su Yan smiled and said humbly.

"Oh? How come you also know calligraphy?"

Liu Yu asked with a smile

"You can just call me by my courtesy name, which is Ziyang."Su Yan said

"I know a thing or two about calligraphy."

"Then Ziyang, come and take a look at what I wrote. Liu Yu said with a smile

"Here!"

Su Yan said, and then walked over, carefully looked at the poem that Liu Yu had just finished writing on his desk, and said with a smile:

""Your calligraphy may seem plain and simple, without any bright spots, but if you look closely, it is a combination of the universe. The thickness of the characters and lines varies significantly, and the strokes are unrestrained and bold, with a beauty of 'coming like thunder and ending with anger'!"

Su Yan's words of praise came out of his mouth, making Liu Yu very happy and couldn't help laughing.

"Haha, I didn't expect that Ziyang, you are not only good at fighting, but also good at flattering people."

Su Yan was not embarrassed at all when he heard this, and said naturally:"This is not a compliment, I am just telling the truth."

"Humph! I'll just listen to it, but no one will believe you if you tell them to others."

Liu Yu said with a snort and a smile.

However, the expression in his eyes was very satisfied. It was obvious that he was very pleased with Su Yan's praise and felt very proud.

Waving his hand, he smiled and said,"Okay, enough of the small talk. Do you know why I called you here this time?"

"Zi Yang doesn't know, please let your Excellency tell me."

Su Yan shook his head.

Liu Yu said:"I called you here this time, one is to praise your previous achievement in blocking the Wuhuan people, and the other is to hope that you can help me control Youzhou."

Su Yan raised his eyebrows and bowed his hands and said:"My Excellency, Zi Yang doesn't quite understand what you said. Hasn't Youzhou always been under your control?"

Liu Yu said:"Zi Yang, why do you have to pretend not to know in front of me? Everyone knows that the most powerful person in the entire Youzhou is your father Su Ping."

Su Yan frowned after hearing this, and quickly bowed and said:"I am terrified, please forgive me, my Excellency."

Liu Yu helped him up and said:"I know your previous experience. You are not favored at home, so you don't have a good relationship with your father. I don't mean to blame you. You don't have to be afraid."

""Thank you, sir."

Su Yan pretended to be relieved.

He knew, of course, that Liu Yu would not blame him, and he was very clear about these things.

The reason why he said this was mainly to warn him and let him understand his current situation. Only by joining him and working for him can he have the opportunity to get rid of the control of the Su family and gain a higher status.

This is nothing more than a way of controlling people, and Su Yan knew it very well.

He deliberately pretended to be more like it, just to cooperate with Liu Yu, so that he would relax his vigilance against him and could employ him with confidence.

After thinking about it, Su Yan said to Liu Yu:"Everything I have is given by you, sir. Just tell me what you want, even if it means going through fire and water, I will do it for you."

"Good!"

The words were rough but the logic was sound. Liu Yu was very happy to hear Su Yan's straightforward promise.

He said it so bluntly just to make Su Yan understand what he meant and let him express his opinion.

Now that Su Yan has also spoken openly, it means that he understands and is willing to work for him, so he can rest assured to use him.

He said:"After you go back, you can directly set up a prefectural government, and then you can take office as the prefect of Zhuo County."

"If you have any difficulties, just tell me and I will support you with all my strength."

Su Yan was overjoyed after hearing this and said quickly,"Thank you, sir."

""Yes."

Liu Yu nodded with satisfaction.

He looked at Su Yan's handsome and heroic face, and suddenly said:"I see Zi Yang has just reached the age of twenty, I wonder if he is married?"

Su Yan was stunned for a moment and said:"My Lord, I am not married, but I have a favorite woman."

"Oh? Is there someone you like? Tell me about it."

Liu Yu said with a smile

"She is the daughter of the wealthy Zou family in Youzhou. I have a deep affection for her and have already decided to spend her life with her. I came back this time to show my father."

"The Zou family?"

Liu Yu nodded, stroking his beard and said,"The Zou family is a big merchant in Youzhou, and its financial resources are the richest in the entire Youzhou. You can match their daughter, so you are a good match."

"However." He changed the subject and said,"Zi Yang, you can become Lu Zhi's apprentice, which shows that your talent is recognized by him, otherwise he would not have accepted you as his apprentice."

""Your Excellency is too kind. It is my teacher who has a good eye for me."

Su Yan said modestly.

"Well, with this background, I can shut up a lot of people by appointing you as the governor of Zhuo County. After all, you are Lu Zhi's disciple, haha!"

Liu Yu laughed.

Su Yan then talked to him in detail, and then planned to say goodbye and leave.

But when he was about to leave, Liu Yu said,"By the way, Ziyang, after the New Year, I should go back to report to the emperor. This time, you can go to Luoyang on my behalf."
