successor……
These three words sound a bit harsh.
The relaxed faces of many students from Yongxing College instantly turned serious.
This is an open secret and everyone knows it.
My husband has resigned, and he will leave the capital after teaching his classmates.
Before leaving the capital, one of their classmates must become the successor of Mr. Yu. He will not only inherit the power that Mr. Yu has managed in the capital for decades, but also become a representative figure of the Jianghuai Group.
The Jianghuai Group will concentrate all its efforts to support this person to ascend to the throne, and will support this young successor to the front line of the court in the shortest possible time.
This is a huge temptation for everyone, and it is far more practical than the emperor conferring a high official.
This is a person who truly holds real power, although to a certain extent, the emperor does not like the appearance of such a person, and it can even be said that he is on the opposite side of the emperor.
But so what?
The Jianghuai Group is not a glorious force. The group is headed by Mr. Yu, and most of them are just outsiders. They will assist whoever becomes emperor, and there is no loyalty at all.
But because there are so many people who have the right to speak in the world and follow the trend, and the literati are the best at making excuses for their disloyalty and despicability, and are blessed with a halo of various reasons, they have controlled the right to speak in the literary world to a large extent.
Especially in the Jianghuai area, east of the two rivers and in the south of the Yangtze River, where the imperial power could not intervene but were very prosperous, the Jianghuai Group helped the imperial power maintain stability.
Therefore, even the emperor would not dare to touch this representative of JAC Group easily.
No one wants to control this power, so now Yongxing College has been stared at by all kinds of eyes.
After Bai Song entered the palace, the matter gradually spread, and the students all knew that Bai Song was originally the successor selected by Mr. Yu.
It is a pity that after Bai Song entered the palace, he offended the emperor for some reason, causing Bai Song to become the first person in history to be designated by the emperor as never to be an official.
Although no one said it clearly, it is obvious that the position of successor to JAC Group is vacant.
College life has been weird lately, no one understands the point of running every day and learning things like carpentry.
But surprisingly, in this boring and torturous life, everyone persisted.
Because everyone knows that this is not a simple academic journey. If you can perform well enough in this process, you may become a representative of JAC Group.
This kind of temptation turned the dandy boys from all families into obedient and obedient rabbits, and no one left the show midway.
Everyone is thinking about who will become the luckiest person in the world.
But today, someone actually brought this matter to light, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly changed.
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. Thinking of the disgusting arrogance Lu Yao often showed, everyone was quite disdainful.
One of the classmates named Qin Fang sneered: "Humph... Lu Yao? He has no one behind him, no fame, and is worthless. He just relies on some talent and learning. In terms of talent and learning, can he compare to the Bai Song Dynasty?" It's just more than enough. What a arrogant person Mr. is, how can you think highly of him? I advise you not to listen to nonsense. Mr. said that everyone here is his disciple, and there is no such thing as a successor. .”
"There is no mention of a successor?" Lu Yao's friend smiled half-heartedly and looked at Lu Yao, "Brother Lu, what they said is different from what you said."
"Hmph, so some people are short-sighted! How can such a big thing be talked about openly? As for whether these common people believe it or not, what's the point? Let's see how they look up to it."
Lu Yao didn't explain anything like that, he was so complacent that he didn't seem to care about what others thought.
Lu Yao's gesture made people suspicious, but it was true.
His friend looked around, smiled and patted Lu Yao on the shoulder: "That's all, it's rare to see you, Lu Yao, so proud of the spring breeze. I believe you for once, and you have to move around more in the future. We old brothers still have hope." This is Mr. Lu who is fawning over the future!"
"Hahaha... easy to say, easy to say..."
The two talked and slowly returned to their table while waving their fans.
The two of them were halfway through when they heard the sound of a cup being smashed behind them.
"Don't listen to this man's farts!" Changsun Huan was furious, "I am appointed by the Emperor, and the successor of Mr. Yu must be my Changsun Huan! What kind of bullshit, Lu Yao, are you worthy of?!"
Changsun Huan held a fan and pointed at Lu Yao, approaching step by step. Everyone stood up nervously.
The table opposite also stood up nervously.
"What are you going to do?" Lu Yao's friend asked warily.
"It's none of your business!" Changsun Huanli ignored him and pointed at Lu Yao, "Lu Yao, please speak clearly to me! Don't you even look at yourself? You're just poor. How can you afford good food in Fushou'an?" A drunkard? So are you fools. You still don’t know that this kid is just using this pretense to deceive you into eating and drinking. It’s really ridiculous that you still call him brother and sister!”
As soon as this statement came out, Lu Yao's friends at the same table felt that it made sense.
Changsun Huan was right, Lu Yao was not someone who could come to Fu Shou'an to eat, and the friends around him were not close friends. They were all people who wanted to please but couldn't in the past.
Several of them are also descendants of important officials in the court, and their status is not inferior to that of the eldest Sun Huan.
In the past, these people didn't bother to pay attention to Lu Yao, but today they heard that he had become Mr. Yu's successor, and this time they warmly invited him to have a dinner in Fushou'an.
After hearing Changsun Huan's words, everyone suddenly became suspicious, wondering how could it be Lu Yao?
Apart from being a bit talented, this man doesn't have any potential to be Mr. Yu's successor. Could it be that, as Chang Sun Huan said, he was using his name to cheat people out of food and drink?
The expression of the friend beside him changed, and he grabbed Lu Yao's wrist: "Brother Lu, I am sincere to you, don't let people down."
At this time, Lu Yao didn't panic at all. Instead, he sneered at his friends around him: "Do you really think that I, Lu Yao, am that shameless person? That's all, I'll show you today!"
With that said, Lu Yao took off a piece of square jade from his waist.
The texture of this square jade is extraordinary. At first glance, you can tell that it is a priceless treasure. However, at first glance, you also think it is just a decorative object, and I don't know what is strange about it.
When everyone looked at it, only Yu Ji exclaimed: "This is... Bo Shi's treasure seal. How... why is it in your hand?"
Lu Yao held Fang Yu and turned it up, exposing the bottom to everyone's eyes.
It turns out that this square jade is a seal.
The so-called Bo Shi Bao Seal is a private seal engraved with Yu Lao brand.
This is Mr. Yu's personal belongings and is used to sign his calligraphy, paintings and nominations.
This is a symbolic object of the literati and will never be passed on to others!
Since the rise of the Han Dynasty, there has been a saying that an old man gave a seal to express his intention to seal the pen from now on, and to express his intention to pass on the mantle.
Lu Yao holds Mr. Yu's private seal. Unless it was stolen, he has the intention of letting Lu Yao inherit the mantle.
If it was the proceeds of theft, Lu Yao would never be so bold as to look in front of everyone.
Therefore, when this Bo Shi treasure seal came out, everyone in the audience was in an uproar!
It was okay for everyone to question before, but now that Mr. Yu has given his private seal to Lu Yao, it is the best proof that Lu Yao will inherit the mantle.
For a moment, everyone was speechless, with shock in their eyes.
The friends around him also gave their hands away, and they held their hands with smiles. This Lu Yao would be a wealthy gentleman in the capital in the future. Saying a disrespectful word is not an exaggeration compared to controlling half of the country!
Who dares to provoke such a potential powerful official?
"Brother Lu, don't blame me. We were just talking casually. We won't doubt what Brother Lu said. I will punish myself with three cups of wine when I go back. I will punish myself with three cups of wine!"
"Huh!" Lu Yao snorted, nonchalantly, and turned around to glance at Changsun Huan, "Changsun Huan, do you understand now?"
Changsun Huan was stunned and couldn't believe it: "This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible! How could Sir choose you? I...I am the one appointed by the Emperor! I have the Emperor's gift of 'Come to the Palace' in my hand, shouldn't I be chosen? Is that right?"
"Hahaha..." Lu Yao laughed loudly and glanced at everyone, "The eldest grandson's family controls the Guanlong Group and is more powerful than the Jianghuai Group. Is it possible for the emperor to let the second son of the eldest grandson's family become the representative of the Jianghuai Group? In the future, the eldest grandson will The family controls the two major groups Guanlong and Jianghuai, and the emperor's throne will be unstable by then! Mr., who has been in officialdom for many years, how can he pass the throne to a role like yours? Are you still dreaming? Want to become the representative of Jianghuai Group? What a big deal What a joke! Hahaha..."
