I am the Empress Dowager!

Chapter 244 The sharp knife in the hands of the Han monarch

"A relative?"

When Liu Long heard this sentence, he couldn't help frowning and was silent for a long time without continuing to speak.

At first, he did not expect that his mother-in-law would be so happy. After knowing what happened to him, she not only did not rush to take him back.

On the contrary, he even directly sent over his former confidant Yu Xu, the current governor of Hanoi.

This guy who is now called "The Butcher" is quite famous in Hanoi and the whole of Hebei.

It took several years to sort out the entire Hanoi. Although it cannot be said that the Haiyan River is clean, it cannot be said that the management of Hanoi is in order and the people are prosperous.

But under Yu Xu's governance, Hanoi was really unstable.

Anything that might have gone wrong is no longer a problem.

All possible problems were cleared up by him.

No matter what kind of bandit or bandit or what kind of ambitious person, this guy will not let go of any of them and clean them up neatly!

It was at that time that the name "Butcher" appeared.

The arrival of Yu Xu was something Liu Long didn't expect, but his arrival also gave Liu Long another useful person.

Yu Xu is different from others. He is not an old man like He Xi and Liang Qin who are terminally ill or don't know how much time they have left to live.

He is not a passionate person like Pang Xiong who has no connections and only knows a loyal Akagi.

Not even a reckless guy like Geng Kui who likes to offend people everywhere.

This guy's family background is not obvious, but he is very scheming, and when he should be ruthless, this guy will never show mercy.

It can be said that he has everything a counselor should have, or that he has everything a poisoner should have.

What's left now is the opportunity that he hasn't waited for yet.

But this time during his trip to northern Xinjiang, he left Hanoi and entered "Yanmen" as the prefect. It seemed that he was being promoted or even demoted.

But everyone with a discerning eye knows that although Hanoi is important, it is also a place surrounding the central city of Kyoto.

But in the final analysis, this is nothing more than acting as the county governor. The fact that he has been acting as the county governor for so many years is enough to explain a lot of things.

Entering Yanmen County is truly two thousand stones.

And here he returned to His Majesty's side, and also entered the current Northern Xinjiang army, which was a rare opportunity.

As long as he seizes this opportunity, his status, reputation, and even his future career can be said to be bright.

So Yu Xu will work very hard to express herself.

Therefore, I started to make my own suggestions as soon as I met.

And this was the second reason Liu Long was shocked.

He didn't expect Yu Xu to come back, but now that the other party is here, he knows that with this guy's character, he will never fool him.

He can express himself, but there is really no need to express himself in this way.

Is it such a sensitive topic as "foreign relatives"?
Of course, Liu Long was no stranger to the term foreign relative. In the final analysis, the so-called foreign relative was still not separated from the aristocratic family.

After all, being well-matched shows that if you want to become a queen, your family must be strong enough.

For example, when he was as powerful as Emperor Guangwu, he had to make changes in this regard and did the only thing he did that was a bit sorry for others.

He took off his original wife and replaced it with the daughter of a wealthy family in Hebei, thereby gaining the support of a wealthy family in Hebei.

One can imagine how powerful this family is.And this relative must be from a wealthy family, and must be one of a very powerful family.

but!

This relative is also very special, because becoming a relative means becoming enemies with ordinary wealthy families!
Relatives, like the chamberlains in the palace, actually represent not only the queen, but also the imperial power!

Although in these years, in the hundreds of years of this great man, there have been endless incidents of relatives disrupting the government.

There was even a case of Wang Mang usurping the Han Dynasty back then.

But what is undeniable is why the chamberlain represents the imperial power, because everything he gets is because of the imperial power.

The same is true for relatives.

They have their own power, but when they become relatives, all the rights and power in their hands will be integrated with the imperial power.

They will quickly improve their official status, and then become the emperor's spokesperson, and then seize more benefits and benefits from other families.

Of course, it is also possible that like the Deng family, they really have no choice but to leave.

In order to prevent the Deng family from becoming the second Wang family, the relatives of the Deng family also followed a path that was unique to everyone.

They began to become the most unusual relatives in the world, and they also let Liu Long know that the Queen Mother's relatives would not necessarily become his enemies.

This is why Liu Long was open to Deng Fengwang, a descendant of the Deng family.

For what Deng Feng did back then, of course he didn't deserve to be killed.

But in the final analysis, if this matter was really pursued, he wouldn't be able to live well.

It's just that Liu Long gave him some mercy because he was a descendant of the Deng family.

Today, Liu Long heard this word again, and Yu Xu meant that he wanted to find his relatives.

At the same time, Yu Xu's meaning was also very clear.

"There are very few people in this world who can compare with the Nanyang Deng family, and the Fufeng Geng family is one of them. There is no doubt about it.

In addition, although the Geng family has been in the military for generations, it has actually declined in recent years.

At that time, there were many heroes in Yu Mi Liehou's family, and there were even some gods like General Jianwei.

But in recent years, the lineage of General Jianwei has been nothing more than this. Later generations can't even produce anyone with military merit, and only a simple marquis title is left to be passed down.

In addition to this lineage, other people such as Geng Shu, Geng Guo, Geng Guang, Geng Ju, Geng Ba, etc., except for some useless people.

That is to say, the lineage of Da Sinong and Geng Shu is reasonable.

But the strong men of Yumen back then have now died of old age at home, and only Geng Kui is left in the lineage of Da Sinong.

If this continues, the Geng family cannot be said to be completely lonely, but it may be difficult to turn over.

Now is a good time for Your Majesty to take action. If Your Majesty can take action, you can get the Geng family out of this quagmire.

It's easy to get more help.

And Geng Kui can naturally become a sharp blade in His Majesty's hands.

With Geng Kui’s character, what His Majesty wants to do, isn’t it reasonable? "

At this moment, Yu Xu's eyes were full of danger.
