The couple responded, and after going out, Qin Miaomiao asked: "The reunion dinner, it should be called Shangxinghan...... Yuan Xinghan and Yuan Zhijiang. ”

Nan Xuanye helped her walk in the direction of home, and said in a low voice: "Yes, let's go and see what my father will say at night." ”

He didn't think it was just a family feast.

That night, as Qin Miaomiao said, Yuan Zhijiang and Yuan Xinghan had arrived, and Nan Xuanye and his wife were the last to arrive, mainly because they had a little dispute before they came out, which delayed a little time.

During the banquet, Yuan Jinzhou was obviously in a good mood, let people drink, pulled a few sons to drink, and sighed: "I'm old, I don't have any other thoughts, I just hope that the family is harmonious, you can all get along well, brothers, friends and brothers, that's what I want to see." ”

Yuan Zhijiang said: "Father, don't worry." ”

Yuan Xinghan didn't speak, just drinking, and suddenly saw Yuan Jinzhou look over, and asked, "What does Xinghan think?" ”

His hand holding the wine glass paused slightly, lowered his eyes, and said, "What my father said is true." ”

"If only you could understand." Yuan Jinzhou just knocked a few words, and didn't say much, so as not to provoke his rebellious mentality, but it was not easy to do.

Yuan Xinghan didn't understand, it was because he understood that he was even more depressed, and he poured wine one after another, and after drinking several times, he was a little drunk and hugged Yuan Zhijiang.

The latter glanced at him: "You are drunk. ”

Yuan Xinghan raised his eyebrows, and his speech was a little slurred: "I'm not drunk, I'm very drunk, how can I be drunk?" ”

"Drink less." Yuan Zhijiang took away his wine glass, he really didn't expect that the fifth brother, who has always been known for his good drinking, would actually be the best.

Yuan Xinghan smiled, glanced at Yuan Jinzhou and Nan Xuanye, who were talking, lowered his voice, and asked Yuan Zhijiang: "You say, what does my father mean by this?" ”

Yuan Zhijiang remembered that Yuan Jinzhou asked Fang Xinghan about his performance, and knew that his father was wary of him, but he couldn't say this, so he could only mention it slightly: "I think it's better to think about what your father thinks than to think about what your father thinks." ”

"What do you mean?" Yuan Xinghan squinted, what did he mean when he heard this?

Yuan Zhijiang knew that this brother had always been smart, and some things didn't need to be said too bluntly: "Do you know what happened to my father's generation in order to seize the throne?" ”

"I don't know." Yuan Xinghan shook his head, these things were strictly forbidden by Yuan Jinzhou.

Yuan Zhijiang poured a glass of wine and took a sip: "You don't know, I heard my father mention it once." ”

"Wait." Yuan Xinghan raised his hand to stop him from continuing: "How do you know these things? ”

Yuan Zhijiang sighed, or he said that he didn't want to talk to this person, and he was always suspicious: "My father is willing to tell me because I have no interest in the throne." ”

Vice versa.

Yuan Xinghan narrowed his eyes: "Are you saying that apart from you, my father has never told anyone?" ”

Yuan Zhijiang glanced at him, and said angrily: "Do you still want to listen to the story?" If you're so suspicious all the time, I won't tell you. ”

"You say, I don't intervene." Yuan Xinghan was also used to it, and subconsciously began to doubt, he also poured a glass of wine for Yuan Zhijiang and sent it to his hand, "I promise I won't ask more." ”

Yuan Zhijiang glanced at Yuan Jinzhou and Nan Xuanye, who were talking, and said mysteriously: "My father mentioned it to me once, it is said that they had many brothers in the early years, and later in order to compete for the throne, they killed you to the death, and the head was bloody, and my father was unwilling to inherit the throne back then." ”

"What about Father?"

"Don't worry, listen to me." Yuan Zhijiang drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp, "Father said that he led the troops into battle at a young age and made great achievements, but he never thought of competing for the throne, he preferred to gallop on the battlefield, but who knew that the other brothers refused to let him go, they competed for the throne, and they had to win him over, so I don't need to tell you about the future." ”

Yuan Xinghan sighed: "I really didn't expect ......"

He always thought that with his father's skills and the prestige he had on the battlefield, he should be able to defeat other brothers and then succeed in seizing the throne, but he thought that it was such a mistake.

Yuan Zhijiang patted him on the shoulder: "I tell you this, I just want you to know that there are some things that you can't force." ”

Yuan Xinghan brushed down his palm: "You tell me this, you still hope I give up." ”

He looked at Yuan Zhijiang steadily, his eyes full of inquiry, as if he wanted to see through what he was thinking.

"Why do you look at me like that?"

Yuan Xinghan said slowly: "Do you want to be on the throne yourself, or do you want to ......" He didn't continue, but glanced at Nan Xuanye, who was drinking.

"You're thinking too much." Yuan Zhijiang said lightly: "I'm not interested in that position, but if I want to choose someone to take the position, it must be Nan Xuanye, because he is kinder than you." ”

Yuan Xinghan seemed to have heard some joke, covering his face with one hand, his small shoulders were trembling, Yuan Zhijiang looked at him and frowned slightly, he really didn't understand what was so funny about this?

After laughing for a while, Yuan Xinghan stopped, he raised his head, his handsome face was a little red, I don't know if it was laughing, or drunk: "Sixth, you are really interesting, do you think that you want to sit on the throne by mercy?" ”

Even if Yuan Jinzhou was unwilling, he still became the king of Dingbei in the end, and his brothers still disappeared, he didn't think that his father didn't have a drop of blood on his hands.

Yuan Zhijiang frowned slightly: "Even if it doesn't all rely on kindness, kindness is absolutely essential." ”

But Yuan Xinghan absolutely didn't have it, for him, benevolence was probably superfluous, thinking so, he just said so.

Yuan Xinghan immediately chuckled: "It seems that the sixth child still knows me very well." ”

"We're brothers." Yuan Zhijiang frowned, glanced at Yuan Xinghan, and said, "Fifth brother, I still remember that my father said that the fate of those brothers back then was all disabled or paralyzed, and they died within a few years. ”

Yuan Xinghan's hand holding the wine glass paused slightly: "What, you scared me?" ”

"No, I'm just giving you a piece of advice." Yuan Zhijiang said lightly: "What my father said will never be false. ”

Yuan Xinghan was suspicious of these words, indeed, the death of his father's brothers was very strange, but this does not mean that it must have been done by his father, even if it is, it is the loser.

"You think I'm going to lose?"

Yuan Zhijiang was silent for a moment, but asked rhetorically: "Then fifth brother, do you want to see a few brothers fight to the ground, and even lose their lives for this position?" ”

Yuan Xinghan laughed, with a hint of ruthlessness: "What does that have to do with me?" ”
