Yuan Wei was sitting in the study, meditating, but his expression was slightly annoyed.
Nothing else. In today’s court discussion, the prefect of Yingchuan actually fell into the hands of Liu Hao. He was really disappointed!
The Governor of Yingchuan is a real fat vacancy!
The Yuan family stared at it for a long time.
As long as his son Yuan Shu can take over Yingchuan and wipe out all the Yellow Turban bandits, he will have enough capital for promotion.
In the future, maybe I can take over his mantle, rank among the three nobles, and shine on the family lintel.
But now, everything is in vain.
The Queen Mother didn't know what kind of delusion she was fed by those dead eunuchs, so she actually gave the position of Yingchuan Prefect to Liu Hao!
What's more, this rude butcher is actually unwilling to help!
In Yuan Wei's heart, although Liu Hao had some talents, it was enough to appoint him as a small county magistrate.
well...
All kinds of unfavorable things combined made Yuan Wei, one of the three princes, feel very depressed.
Tuk-tuk-tuk!
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
"Father!"
The person who opened the door and walked in was Yuan Wei's son, Yuan Shu!
"Oh, it's a pity, it's a pity that my son is such a hero, but he can't be the governor of Yingchuan!"
Yuan Wei looked at his heroic son and hated him even more.
"Father, I just rushed back to Luoyang. How was the discussion at the court today?"
Yuan Shu's eyes shone with hope.
At this time, Yuan Shu was still the chief official of a county.
At his age, he certainly has a promising future.
However, compared with the Yingchuan prefect who held the military and political power of a county, he was far behind.
Yuan Wei shook his head and sighed: "Today's court discussion..."
"Dad, no way. Did something happen to you?"
Yuan Shu's heart skipped a beat.
Originally, according to the Yuan family's plan, Yuan Shu could ask for the governor of Yingchuan, and Yuan Shao could ask for the governor of Bohai, but they would temporarily stay in the court to help He Jin deal with the eunuchs.
"Alas, the position of Yingchuan Prefect has been taken by Liu Hao!"
Yuan Wei comforted him and said, "My son, there are so many prefectures and counties in the world. Why do you have to choose Yingchuan County? You can just pick another one!"
The emperor said that Liu Hao has firmly occupied the position of prefect of Yingchuan, and it is definitely impossible to change it.
We can only choose a place to arrange Yuan Shu in other states and counties.
But in Yuan Shu's view, this is not the case.
"Hateful!"
Yuan Shu said with a depressed look: "Father, you have stayed in the court for a long time and you don't even know the benefits of Yingchuan County!"
Yuan Wei wanted to test his son and asked: "Yingchuan County is rampant with thieves, what's the benefit?"
"First, Yingchuan County has outstanding people and countless talents. If I can take over Yingchuan, I will definitely be able to recruit countless available talents and make plans for the future of the Yuan family!"
"Second, Yingchuan County is actually one of the most prosperous cities besides Luoyang. If you take over Yingchuan, you will have a good foundation. You can recruit troops and strengthen your strength!"
"Thirdly, there are several groups of Yellow Turban bandits lingering in Yuzhou. They have exceeded 10,000 people and are a serious concern for the imperial court. If these thieves can be wiped out, it will be a great achievement. Maybe within a year or two
, directly sit on the throne of the state pastor!"
Yuan Shu answered heartbrokenly.
Now, the position of Yingchuan Prefect has also been taken by Liu Hao!
The cooked duck flew away!
It has to be said that Yuan Shu, a man who once claimed the title of emperor in history, is somewhat extraordinary in terms of his knowledge.
Yuan Wei felt heartbroken after hearing this, and could only nod and comfort him: "My son Yuan Gongli is worthy of being the Qilin son of the Yuan family. He has extraordinary knowledge, and his achievements in the future will definitely be extraordinary!"
Yuan Shu said depressedly: "Father, how prominent are I, the fourth and third prince of the Yuan family? How virtuous and capable is this Liu Hao? How can I let him take my position!?"
The words contained strong jealousy and depression.
Yuan Shu had just rushed back from outside and didn't understand Liu Hao or the situation in Luoyang.
Yuan Wei smiled bitterly.
He had participated in the Great Confucian Conference, and even he was amazed by Liu Hao's astonishing talents.
A trace of deep fear flashed across Yuan Wei's face, and he sighed: "My son, you must not underestimate this Liu Hao, otherwise you will definitely suffer at his hands in the future!"
However, Yuan Shu disagreed and said: "Father is too worried. Among my peers, only Benchu (Yuan Shao) is as talented as me. The rest are all mediocre people and not worth mentioning at all!"
