Chapter 253

Liu Hong's face darkened immediately, and he refuted directly: "Not allowed! Yuan Shao is too young; whether it is experience or ability, it is not enough;"

"Nanyang is the number one commandery under heaven and is adjacent to Luoyang; it is too important and must be served by an old minister who is virtuous, prestigious, and skilled in both civil and military affairs for me to be reassured;"

"Otherwise, like the former Administrator Qin Jie and the former Administrator Chu Gong, they are pieces of trash; what use do I have for them?"

"Do you want Nanyang to be lost again?"

What a joke.

That is Nanyang; how could I let you succeed?

If I really let your Yuan Fu people control Nanyang, could I still sleep peacefully?

Yuan Feng's face also darkened upon hearing this.

But then he sighed softly.

He didn't expect it to really succeed; he was just testing.

Now that it really didn't work, he stopped pushing Yuan Shao and began to think about who else would be suitable to recommend.

His covetous heart for Nanyang had never wavered.

For these years, he had been infiltrating Nanyang.

This time, because of Zhao Ci's matter, their Yuan Fu's investment in Nanyang had also suffered quite a loss.

However, at this time, Yang Biao suddenly stood out and reported: "Reporting to the Son of Heaven, I recommend the Administrator of Lujiang, Yang Xu, to be the Administrator of Nanyang;"

"Yang Xu is clean, self-disciplined, participated in the suppression of the Huang Jin Rebellion in Lujiang, and while serving in Lujiang, he had quite some achievements. He is 44 years old this year, in the prime of his life, steady and prudent, very suitable."

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Feng looked at Yang Biao fiercely, frowned, and the anger in his eyes flashed and disappeared. He thought: "Does this Yang Biao understand the rules? To actually dare to compete with me? Simply unreasonable!"

It seems he thinks I am old and have no deterrent power?

Or does your Hongnong Yang clan want to challenge the authority of my Yuan Fu?

Yuan Feng directly held a grudge against Yang Biao.

He felt that this junior was too ignorant of the rules.

Since he didn't know the rules, he would teach this Yang Biao the rules and principles of being a person later, hmph!

"Oh?"

At this time, the Son of Heaven Liu Hong's eyes lit up. He also saw the expressions of Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei and felt very happy in his heart.

This is exactly the situation he wanted!

Finally, someone has come to challenge the authority of the Yuan Fu in the imperial court, right?

Although this Hongnong Yang clan might not be anything good either.

They are also a top-tier great scholar-official clan and a great threat to imperial power. But it's still better than the entire imperial court becoming the Yuan Fu's one-man show, right?

Moreover, Liu Hong had already remembered who this Yang Xu was.
