Chapter 180: Let the Horse Come Over (Part 2)
Liu Yu and Yuan Bolang were chatting here, and Su Yan had already read all the candidate concubines and was talking to Eunuch Wu. Originally, Liu Yu and Yuan Bolang could not get close to these imperial concubines, but Liu Yu was not very evasive and walked over directly.
"Master, you've chosen it." Su Yan lowered Eunuch Wu and smiled at Liu Yu. Judging from his appearance, it seemed that he didn't need to choose the second time.
Liu Yu looked at the list of three selected items. Liu Yu said, "How about adding this to Yuan Xianger?"
"Who is she?" Su Yan looked at the roster in confusion.
"Oh, she is the granddaughter of the stubborn old man, the daughter of the prime minister, how good it is to choose it." Liu Yu smiled faintly.
Su Yan frowned, obviously not very happy. Liu Yu clearly asked him to choose as he pleased, and now he would impose one on him. He thought that Liu Yu chose his granddaughter in order to win over Yuan Bolang.
In fact, Liu Yu had other plans.
"Don't want this person surnamed Cao, she... is not suitable for you." Liu Yu looked at the three people selected by Su Yan in detail. On Yuan Bolang's list, there was only one person in the Cao family. Perhaps this woman was both talented and beautiful, which made Su Yan fall in love with her and she was unintentionally selected. But Liu Yu intended to let her lose the election.
"Why?" Su Yan was even more reluctant, "This Cao Yi is very beautiful. Master, why don't you go and have a look?"
Seeing Su Yan's anxious look, Liu Yu obviously became moved by the Miss Cao family. It was not necessary to choose one less and choose one more. However, Cao Yi was the daughter of Cao Jinghua, the new deputy chief censor, and he could be said to be an important official promoted by Yuan Bolang. Sui Yi was promoted to Jingzhao Prefecture, so he removed his job as Deputy Chief Censor, and his rank remained unchanged. He went from the second-rank Jingzhao Prefecture Order. Then Yuan Bolang recommended Cao Jinghua as Deputy Chief Censor, which shows the importance of his person in the right prime minister party.
Liu Yu wanted to teach Yuan Bolang a lesson by using the matter of choosing a concubine. First of all, he made all the people recommended by Yuan Bolang lose the election, which made the family behind these daughters shame, and made Yuan Bolang's granddaughter selected, which made him stand apart from his fans. Later, he mentioned the Left Prime Minister. Originally, Xu Han had a great prestige in the court, and Lan He had a great influence. In this way, he could gain the surrender of some neutral officials on the left and right sides and achieve the goal of balancing civil officials.
It would be a bit troublesome to explain to Su Yan. Now Liu Yu can only use a little force of force.
"Anyway, it's good for you. The other two remain unchanged, and Yuan Xiang'er is still three." Liu Yu said in an unquestionable tone.
Su Yan obeys Liu Yuyan's advice on daily life, but this time he is very reluctant. Liu Yu knows the pain of giving up the thing he has already obtained, but now is an extraordinary period, and Liu Yu must let Su Yan understand the position that an emperor should have.
"Master will do whatever you say." Su Yan said so, but his whole body was very depressed. This made Liu Yu interested. Cao Yi really has such a great charm?
After the emperor's selection of concubines was over, Su Yan and Liu Yu arrived at the edge of the terrace, and Yuan Bolang also came over.
"Congratulations to the granddaughter of Yuan Xiangguo for being selected." Liu Yu smiled and stepped forward, looking like congratulations, but Yuan Bolang was furious when he listened.
When he saw the list of names with only three people written on it, he felt even more distressed and even a little angry.
"Your Majesty, why don't you go and take a closer look and choose a few more?" Yuan Bolang was afraid that the new emperor had chosen things and didn't look at his list, which was completely contrary to his original plan. After saying this, he realized that it was probably Liu Yu who was messing around. Otherwise, how could he not choose others to choose his granddaughter? Yuan Xianger is mediocre among these candidates, and even as a grandfather, he understands that his granddaughter's appearance is indeed not as good as a classmate.
"No need, I've seen it very carefully." Su Yan said listlessly, "Prime Minister, please arrange it. I want to go back and rest first."
Yuan Bolang was obviously confused by the emperor's choice. He originally wanted to take the opportunity to talk about the matter of appointing the queen or mentioning the matter to the court. Now he doesn't care much about it. He can only watch Su Yan walk towards the Yaqian Hall accompanied by Liu Yu, but why did he tell the officials behind the unsuccessful candidates that he had no clue at all.
"Eunuch Wu, what's going on?" Yuan Bolang could only ask one of the parties involved in the matter, Eunuch Wu who accompanied the new emperor to choose a concubine.
"I don't know that Yuan Prime Minister Yuan, I can't say it, I can't say it."
It was a death sentence for the eunuch to make friends with ministers. Eunuch Wu was very tactful and did not offend the right prime minister, nor did he want to say more. He stayed only to bring the three new imperial concubines selected into the palace into the inner court. From now on, the three selected imperial concubines are basically hopeless to leave the palace half a step away.
Eunuch Wu avoided Yuan Bolang and ordered the female official: "You send the three little masters to Yong'an Palace first, and then leave what items you send to your home first, check it and then send it over. Be more appropriate, be more appropriate, don't hurt the little master's body. Let's go and ask the emperor first and then place it in detail."
Su Yan left in a hurry and did not explain many things. The three selected imperial concubines were decided, but the resettlement matters were not mentioned. Eunuch Wu could only follow the previous rules of choosing a concubine in the early emperor, and he would make arrangements first and ask for instructions to come back.
At this time, Liu Yu, who had originally left with the new emperor, returned and gave a few instructions to the hurrying Eunuch Wu, which was equivalent to sending a message on behalf of the emperor and asking Eunuch Wu to properly resettle him.
It is hard to say whether the new emperor can treat these three imperial concubines well, and they may be idle like a palace maid and ignore them.
"General Liu, it's not the old slave, the emperor is not very happy." Eunuch Wu sighed with embarrassment.
Liu Yu understood what Eunuch Wu meant. There was Cao Yi on the list but Yuan Xiang'er. The emperor said a few words to him and then changed it. This is probably the reason why the emperor lost interest in choosing a concubine this time. Since Eunuch Wu could even detect Su Yan's love for this Cao Yi, it seems that this woman has enough charm to attract men.
A monarch who does not love the country and loves beauty is not uncommon to Liu Yu. A woman whose beauty has caused trouble to the point of harming the country and the people is full of examples in his past and present history. Although women may not be the cause of chaos in the country, once the emperor he has praised has such a tendency, he has to be careful.
This is the first time that Liu Yu felt that there was a gap between master and disciple after Su Yan ascended the throne. It was not as simple as disagreeing with opinions. Liu Yu was afraid that Su Yan would fall in love at first sight and would have more nonsense in the future.
Liu Yu stayed to see what charm Cao Yi was like.
He soon saw it.
After the emperor's choice of concubines, those who were not elected would leave the palace under the guidance of the female official. Only one woman did not walk towards the palace gate, but walked to Yuan Bolang and said a few words. Liu Yuben could not be sure who this woman was, but after seeing it, he had already predicted that this woman must be Cao Yi, who made Su Yan fall in love with her.
When it comes to beauty, this woman may not be as outstanding as Xu Xuanzhu or Li Zheer. But her naturally charming charm, every frown, smile, and move will make people feel that she is not like an ordinary woman, but like a reincarnation of a vixen. And Su Yan has never experienced the true gentleness of the country, and will lack the resistance to such a fascinating woman.
Although Liu Yu was far apart, he could not hear the conversation between Yuan Bolang and this woman, but he could also sense the disappointment on the two of them. Yuan Bolang was still a little indignant, probably because he felt angry that the woman could not be selected.
A young woman who could answer the right side was so sensible that she could go to the bedroom and leave the court. Liu Yu didn't want to raise a tiger. Originally, he wanted to fulfill Su Yan's heart after the matter was dull and let Su Yan's woman named Cao enter the palace. Now it seems that she must try to completely cut off Su Yan's thoughts.
