Three Kingdoms: God-level selection

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

This was the birthday banquet hosted by Su Ping, the deputy governor of Youzhou.

In theory, a deputy governor's position was not worthy of such a grand banquet.

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

He held a lot of power in Youzhou, and he dared to go against Liu Yu, and many officials under him were dependent on him.

Once he was taken down, it would affect the officialdom of the entire Youzhou, causing great turmoil.

It can be said that Su Ping himself was not of much value.

But there were too many people involved, and there was no way to sort it out.

Now that the war in Youzhou had just subsided, Liu Yu knew that if he started a war now, the entire state government would collapse.

Once the state government was paralyzed, the control over the local counties would be weakened, and at that time, the local governments would be independent and the people would live in misery.

Before Liu Yu came, he was a Zongzheng, one of the nine ministers in the court, so he could often see the emperor.

He knew that the health of Emperor Ling of Han was getting worse and worse.

Now it seems that the emperor is in power, but in fact, the gentry and relatives have united to fight against the eunuchs.

The entire court is like a huge whirlpool. If you are not careful, you will be sucked into it and become a victim of the struggle.

The central government is caught in internal strife, so how can it manage the local areas?

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

In name, they respect the emperor, obey the court, and accept jurisdiction.

But in fact, they are secretly accumulating strength, breaking away from the jurisdiction of the central government and the state government, and splitting out.

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

This led to the current situation.

Of course, Liu Yu would compromise, and a large part of the reason was that he did not have enough military power.

Most of the troops in Youzhou were placed in Gongsun Zan to fight against the foreign tribes on the grassland.

The troops in the local counties and prefectures were all independent and only controlled by the governors of each county.

So Liu Yu basically had no other troops except some troops around Ji County.

If he had enough troops, he could completely take down Su Ping, and then use the army to suppress the situation, and there would be no rebellion.

In the final analysis, it is still because of lack of strength!

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

After all, he is now the eldest son of the Su Mansion. Today is the birthday banquet, and he should greet the guests at the door.

When he came, he found that Su Ze was also here.

He snorted and ignored Su Yan, and Su Yan was too lazy to look at him.

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

Today is his birthday banquet. He has invited many celebrities from Youzhou to participate. To show respect, he should also stand here to receive them.

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 expect you, a rebellious son, to come here to greet guests so early."

Su Yan said lightly:"I am the eldest son of the Su Mansion. Today is my father's birthday banquet. If I don't stand out to greet him, it would be impolite and will bring shame to my Su Mansion."

"You still know something."

Su Ping snorted and turned his head away.

After a while, he suddenly said:"I have asked Zhou Fang to check what happened that day. It was indeed Ze'er's fault. Your father has wrongly blamed you."

Su Yan raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect Su Ping to admit it so straightforwardly.

But he didn't say anything, shaking his head and said:"I'm glad that my father can understand."

Su Ping hummed, turned his head away, and there was no follow-up.

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

Su Yan sneered in his heart and said nothing.

He had long given up hope in Su Ping, so he was not disappointed that Su Ping didn't apologize.

Without any expectations in his heart, he would naturally not be disappointed.

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

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

Su Yan saw it, his emotions were calm, without any anger or jealousy.

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

This was a demonstration to him.

Su Yan turned a blind eye and waited quietly.

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

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

Su Ping brought Su Ze with him and kept introducing him to the visiting officials.

Su Yan was standing next to them, but Su Ping did not mention him at all and completely left him aside.

Su Ze was secretly delighted.

This is the difference between him and Su Yan. No matter how outstanding Su Yan is, he is still not as favored by Su Ping as him.

He is Su Ping's favorite son.

Su Yan saw it, neither humble nor arrogant, and said nothing.

In his opinion, Su Ping did this on purpose.

Before, Su Ping scolded him, and he toughly contradicted him, which made Su Ping lose face and feel very unhappy.

He is his father, but Su Yan is now the governor of Zhuo County and a big shot. He is no longer the eldest son who can be scolded by him. He has grown wings, and he can't do anything to him.

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

Unfortunately, Su Yan has no feelings for him, so this trick has no effect at all.

""The Prime Minister of Zhongshan State, Chen Yan is here!"

Suddenly, a voice of greeting rang out.

Su Ping was stunned when he heard it.

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

He is only the deputy governor of Youzhou. He is very powerful in Youzhou, but not in Jizhou. Whose favor did the Prime Minister of Zhongshan come to do?

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

Even the Prime Minister of Zhongshan in Jizhou came to celebrate his birthday. How much face did he have?

He turned his mind and looked at Su Ze, asking,"Ze'er, did you invite this Prime Minister of Zhongshan?"

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

Su Ze's face froze. He didn't remember inviting Chen Yan?

He turned his mind and glanced at Su Yan. He found that he looked calm and had a decision in his heart.

He looked at Su Ping and said,"Father, your son just sent someone to pass the message without holding out hope, but I didn't expect that Prime Minister Chen would actually come."

"My son, you are thoughtful."

Su Ping was very happy when he heard it. He stroked his short beard and was very proud of Su Ze's action. He turned his eyes and looked at Su Yan. There was indifference in his eyes.

"See? This is the way to truly honor the Su family and be truly filial."

Su Yan looked into his eyes and read what he meant.
