Chapter 348

Duan Yu: "..."

He naturally understood.

He had already seen Liu Hong's lustfulness.

Everything from the West Garden had proven that history was not entirely fake.

A truly lustful man, especially someone like Liu Hong, who could summon any woman at will, would not put all his heart into one woman.

What He Lingsi said might be a bit exaggerated and have other metaphors.

But it was basically the truth.

But then the question arises.

What does He Lingsi want to do?

Not full at home, preparing to come out for an extra meal?

After this PUA, could it be that she wants to win his sympathy.

And then develop sympathy.

And finally have an affair?

Have an affair with the Empress?

"Empress, the Emperor... the Emperor is busy with ten thousand miles of affairs, bearing the Han's mountains and rivers..."

"General Duan, why are you so unromantic?"

Before Duan Yu could finish his feigned ignorance, He Lingsi behind him said even more resentfully:

"Could it be that General Duan is so unromantic?"

"Don't understand the meaning of this palace?"

"General Duan..."

Duan Yu's heartbeat accelerated suddenly.

His eyelids were also jumping.

The hand stroking his armor was also becoming more forceful.

It was as if she wanted to pull him into the phoenix carriage.

Duan Yu shouted that he couldn't take it.

Who could endure such naked temptation?

But this is the street of Luoyang.

Behind him is the phoenix carriage.

It's not the carriage outside the gambling den.

If he were to crawl into the phoenix carriage now, he might be ordered to have his house raided by tonight.

The hardest thing about dealing with a woman like Empress He is that you can't touch her, but you can't refuse her too much either.

Who knows if this woman with a heart like a scorpion might suddenly have the mentality that if she can't get it, she will destroy it?

At this moment, Duan Yu suddenly remembered the words of his father-in-law, Dong Zhuo.

In this Luoyang city, under the Emperor's feet, one cannot mess around.

If something really happened, no one could protect him.

And now.

Sitting behind him is the most dangerous and powerful woman in Luoyang city.

Just as Duan Yu was thinking about how to deal with Empress He, a sound of music and dance suddenly rang out from a corner of the alley in Buguangli ahead.

In front of a magnificent and vast mansion, sunlight spilled onto the vermilion doors and exquisite stone carvings, reflecting a dazzling light.

I saw more than a hundred musicians dressed in gorgeous costumes, holding various musical instruments, walking slowly with neat steps.

And there were quite a few people dressed in gorgeous clothes standing in front of the mansion gate.

Duan Yu finally let out a long sigh of relief in his heart.

Finally arrived.

He Mansion.

The mansion of the current Minister of Works, He Jin, the Governor of Henan.

Two men and one woman, dressed in gorgeous clothes, stood in front of the mansion gate, looking forward with expectation.

"Empress, we have arrived," Duan Yu said softly to He Lingsi inside the phoenix carriage.

The hand that was resting on Duan Yu's shoulder was reluctantly withdrawn.

"This palace feels that the time spent with General Duan passes so quickly."

"General Duan, this palace came out of the palace today, actually not just to visit my brother."

"This palace is actually also for you," He Lingsi said.

"This general thanks the Empress for her kindness," Duan Yu replied with official jargon: "To be able to receive the Empress's kindness, this general is three lifetimes lucky."

"Really?" He Lingsi's voice inside the phoenix carriage was excited: "Is what General Duan said true?"

Duan Yu nodded with a helpless smile: "Replying to the Empress, this general does not dare to lie."

A happy laugh came from inside the phoenix carriage again: "This palace knew that General Duan is not an unromantic person..."

"Actually, this palace has another matter," He Lingsi continued: "General Duan is such a talent, you will definitely enter Luoyang to be an official in the future."

"This palace's trip is also to recommend General Duan."

"Although my brother is currently the Governor of Henan, the Emperor has already promised to confer upon my brother the position of Grand General."

"If my brother is the Grand General, mobilizing the national troops, then General Duan will be under my brother's command in the future."

"Planning ahead now can be considered as forming a good relationship, and in the future, it can also be a source of assistance."

Duan Yu's eyes looked toward the front of He Jin's mansion.

He said to himself, "As expected."

The powerful people in this Luoyang city.

None of them have a simple purpose.

Just a moment ago, he was still wondering if He Lingsi was not full in the palace and was preparing to come out to steal a meal.

Now it seems that He Lingsi's purpose is not single or simple.

Also.

An Empress of a country, how could it be so simple.

Can one be like this for a little private desire?

Now it seems that a deeper metaphor in this is winning over.

The He family currently seems extremely favored in Luoyang.

But the He family's background is not good; they are just from a butcher family.

If He Lingsi hadn't been crowned Empress, how could the He clan have such favor today.

It's just that although the He family is extremely favored, their foundation is very shallow.

Among the clans, like the Runan Yuan clan, the Hongnong Yang clan, and these clans in Guanzhong, none of the great families that currently control the court look down on He Jin.

Behind their backs, they all call He Jin a butcher's son.

This is undoubtedly a belittlement.

Before He Lingsi, Liu Hong had another Empress, Empress Song.

Compared to the He family, the Song family's foundation was deeper.

But it was still destroyed overnight.

If one wants to stand firm, one must be deeply rooted.

It seems He Lingsi is also very clear about this.

Winning over clans, neither He Lingsi nor He Jin has this ability and capital.

Then they can only start from other places.

One is to constantly improve the status of the He family.

For example, letting He Jin obtain the position of Grand General.

The Grand General can open a government office, so he can win over a group of talents.

If you can't control official positions, then grab military power.

Winning over new military nobles is also a means of introducing foreign aid and consolidating the foundation.

This Luoyang place is indeed full of calculations everywhere.
