I am the Empress Dowager!

Chapter 246 The sharp knife in the hands of the Han monarch

Liu Long's voice was calm and indifferent, but Liu Long's words were like thunder, exploding in Geng Kui's ears.

Indeed, Geng Kui seemed a little reckless and impulsive, and his character and temper were even a little violent.

But Geng Kui is not a fool either.

He was a man who had been in the army since the first year of Yongyuan. At that time, he was still a high-spirited young man.

More than twenty years have passed in a hurry, and now he is a real general of the Han frontier army.

Moreover, he was the Grand Administrator of Liaodong of the Han Dynasty, who held a high position of two thousand stones, and single-handedly controlled the Xianbei people, one of the three major helpers of the Han Dynasty.

It can be said that he is a truly powerful person.

Hmm. A high position in the local area!

So he thought that he was a son of a wealthy family who had been with the army for more than [-] years and guarded the place for several years.

How could he not understand the meaning of Liu Long's words just now?
The emperor of the Han Dynasty wanted to marry. Marrying and having a concubine had two different meanings.

Filling the harem has been a thing since ancient times. Even the First Emperor, who was known as the No. 1 emperor, did not have to have his own queen.

But there will definitely be no shortage of women in his harem.

The harem was originally a kind of marriage between the emperor and various wealthy families.

But there is only one position that can make the emperor use the word "marriage", and that is the queen of the Han Dynasty!
Only the position of queen is worthy of this term.

And Liu Long's meaning was also very obvious.

The next empress of the Han Dynasty can make people from the Geng family!

It can be, but it must be!
Liu Long looked at Geng Kui who had fallen silent, and without wasting any time, he walked directly in front of this guy and spoke softly.

“Actually, General Geng Kui should also be able to tell.

Now, the only ones who can become my queen are these few families.

Among them, the Deng family should be the most popular.

After all, the queen mother is a member of the Deng family, and the Deng family in Nanyang has indeed done very well in recent years.

There is no doubt about this.

But doing a good job doesn't mean he's really suitable.

The Deng family has had many problems over the years, and I also know that if the next queen continues to be the Deng family.

That will inevitably make people in this world think of some not-so-good things.

It's time for the Deng family to retreat and rest. "

Liu Long's words seemed to stir up excitement in Geng Kui's heart, but before he could say anything more, Liu Long spoke again without giving him a chance to speak.

“But although the Deng family can’t do it, other families can’t do it either.

The lineage of Yang Xia Jiehou is, well, not very good, but it is not unusable.

The re-emergence in recent years has also been impressive.

The reputation of General Dashu back then was comparable to that of General Jianwei of our great Han Dynasty.

Not only that, Lai Jia is a famous person from generation to generation and should not be underestimated.

The Wang family of Yuyang has always been a wealthy family in Hebei, and the Wang family of Yingchuan should not be underestimated. There are even rumors that the Ren family of Nanyang is somewhat related to General Ren Shang, who was born in Shu.

It is said that it was one of the branches that entered Shu from Nanyang to avoid disaster. I don't know how true it is.

These families all followed my ancestor, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, to conquer the world.

In recent years, the Fufeng Ma family, the Ban family, and even the Huangfu family, the Yang family, and the Du family, which I heard are quite popular recently."

"What does your Majesty want?"

Geng Kui didn't listen to Liu Long's nonsense and watched Liu Long counting on his fingers endlessly.Of course Geng Kui understood what Liu Long meant and knew what he should say.

And his first sentence was to get straight to the point and tell Liu Long directly that there was no need to go to so much trouble and that everyone could negotiate everything if he set his own conditions.
Liu Long's words silenced Geng Kui, but Geng Kui's words surprised Liu Long's knight.

"Actually, Geng Liaodong doesn't need to be so nervous, maybe we will be a family in the future.

Everyone can discuss anything.

Of course, becoming my cousin also requires you to do some things.

First, I need the land of Liaodong! "

Liu Long was a "good" negotiator, and Geng Kui's face stiffened at this opening.

After a long silence, he didn't fall out directly.

However, Geng Kui also knew that he had paid a heavy price in this battle, but he did not get the credit he deserved.

His successive mistakes made Geng Kui know clearly what was going on with him and what he would face.

Even losing his current position is excusable.

Therefore, after a brief silence, Geng Kui couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then slowly spoke to the other party.

"What your Majesty said is that the last general made many omissions in this battle, and he really did not deserve the trust of your Majesty and the Queen Mother.

I dare not continue to hold the position of Governor of Liaodong, so I ask Your Majesty to take it back and appoint a more suitable person."

"You can't continue to be the governor of Liaodong, but not now.

Your successor can't come yet, so Liaodong you still have to watch over me. "

After Liu Long gave up on Geng Kui, he gave him another chance.

"I think you should understand what this sentence means.

If you still have your heart, don't let me down again in Liaodong.

The problems that need to be solved are solved, and the people who deserve revenge will take revenge and come back.

After everything is done, you may just move to another place. "

Liu Long's words made Geng Kui freeze on the spot, and after being silent for a long time, he bowed to Liu Long and saluted.

Although his personality is a little more unruly, he is not ignorant of good and bad.

Liu Long gave him a chance this time, which allowed him to save his last face. It was indeed worth his bow.

Of course, it would be too naive for Liu Long to think that this meant regaining Geng Kui.

Fortunately, Liu Long is not the kind of person who is easily satisfied.

After seeing that Geng Kui could accept this matter, Liu Long spoke again.

"Liaodong gives you a chance to stabilize the situation, but what I really want you to do is another thing.

I heard before that Geng Liaodong seems to be dissatisfied with the frontier soldiers in northern Xinjiang? "

"Your Majesty has misunderstood. The officers and soldiers here are all good sons and daughters of my great man. The general has no dissatisfaction at all!"

"That"

"The general is just dissatisfied with those guys in the corpse meal position!"

"..." Liu Long didn't expect that this guy would actually say this, and he was stunned by what he said, "General... you are really sincere!"

"If you are not honest, you won't offend so many people!"
