After the wine and food came up, Han Da took the lead in raising the wine glass to salute Yang Gang: "Brother Yang is willing to appreciate the light today, it is an honor to be in the future, I respect you." ”

After speaking, he tilted his head, and all the wine in the cup entered his mouth.

Han Da was very surprised when he saw Yang Gang drink the wine he poured without hesitation, so he asked: "Old General Yang and grandfather have always been on good terms, Brother Yang is so simple, aren't you afraid that I will poison the wine?" ”

Yang Gang hooked the corners of his mouth, and his tone was flat: "The reason why Old Lady Han and my grandfather are-for-tat is just because of political disagreement, and this is not a big deal."

"What's more, Han Gongzi is a smart person, if I get poisoned on your territory today, you won't be able to get out of it."

"Haha." Han Da let out a hearty laugh, "Brother Yang really sees through and admires.

"Come, I'll respect Brother Yang again."

In this way, after the two of them drank for three rounds, Han Da finally got to the point: "What does Brother Yang think about the current situation?" ”

Yang Gang said expressionlessly: "I'm just an ordinary guard in front of the palace, and I don't understand the affairs of the court. ”

"Brother Yang, this is modesty." Han Da filled him with wine and asked him a different question: "Then Brother Yang thinks which prince in the royal family is qualified and capable of entering the East Palace?" ”

Yang Gang clenched his fists in the direction of the palace and said solemnly: "The matter of establishing a prince should be decided by His Majesty, and you and I must not speak falsely." ”

Han Da scolded in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "There are only you and me here, just chatting in private, Brother Yang doesn't have to be so nervous."

"You and I are in the capital, and we are the sons of nobles, so we should care about the court situation."

Yang Gang was silent, picked up his wine glass and began to drink.

Han Da was silent for a moment, and then analyzed: "Since five years ago, the former prince died of illness after a rebellion, and the fourth prince died tragically, the position of the crown prince has been hanging vacant.

Although the queen cheered up and adopted the Seventh Prince, the Seventh Prince was too young and his strength was not good.

"Now the most vocal call for the crown prince in the court is the third prince, after all, he occupies a 'long' word, and is known as the virtuous king, quite popular with the people.

"Although the fifth prince is from the virtuous concubine, one of the four concubines, he is ranked behind the third prince in terms of the order of the eldest and youngest teeth, but he is also a strong contender for the position of the crown prince, because His Majesty loves him very much.

"Brother Yang, do you know why Your Majesty loves the Five Princes so much?"

Yang Gang replied casually: "It's to check and balance the three princes. ”

"That's just one of the reasons." Speaking of this, Han Da's face was full of ostentatious expressions, and he lowered his voice: "There is one more important reason.

"That is, His Majesty suspects that the tragic death of the four princes who instigated the prince to rebel against the four princes five years ago was planned by the three princes, and now the three princes are buying people's hearts, and Your Majesty is very jealous of the three princes."

Yang Gang cooperated with a surprised expression.

Han Da was even more proud, "Therefore, the fifth prince is the best candidate for the crown prince in His Majesty's mind." ”

Yang Gang praised: "Han Gongzi's words are very insightful. ”

Han Da changed his words: "In a few days, it will be General Yang's birthday, and the fifth prince ordered to prepare a generous gift for General Yang's birthday." ”

Yang Gang immediately said: "Grandfather ordered that this birthday banquet should not be extravagant, so the family only invited a few in-laws, and there were no other colleagues and friends."

"Please also ask for the understanding of the five princes."

What he meant was that only a few relatives were invited that day, and no one outside the relatives should come.

This is a clear refusal.

Han Da was very unhappy in his heart, but he still said with a smile on his face: "Tomorrow, the five princes will hold a banquet, and they will send me to invite Brother Yang, and also invite Brother Yang to talk about it." ”

It turned out to be a lobbyist sent by the Five Princes.

But His Majesty is the most taboo for the prince to form a party for personal gain, and the five princes are so fanfare, quite pampered and arrogant, but at the same time, it also shows that he is not afraid of His Majesty's blame.

The five princes can't wait to win over the courtiers, I'm afraid that the matter of establishing a prince has been put on the agenda again.

Yang Gang's thoughts were surging in his heart, but he said quietly on his face: "It's really unfortunate, I have to be on duty tomorrow, and I can't be empty." ”

Han Da continued: "It's okay, the fifth prince said that after Brother Yang finishes his errand, he will send someone to pick you up." ”

Yang Gang frowned and clearly refused: "Yang is soft-spoken, and he can't afford the love of the five princes, so he won't worry about the five princes." ”

After speaking, he stood up: "Farewell." ”

Without waiting for Handa to speak, he left the room.

Leaving Han Da stunned for a long time, he slammed the wine glass on the ground: "I don't know how to lift." ”

......

After Yang Gang returned to the house, he went to General Yang and told him what had just happened.

General Yang's face froze: "Recently, those old ministers mentioned the matter of appointing the third prince as the prince again, I am afraid that the fifth prince was in a hurry, so he began to win people's hearts."

"You have done a good job today, our Yang Mansion is only loyal to today, and cannot be involved in the affairs of Lichu."

Yang Gang respectfully responded: "Yes, Sun Er understands." ”

Old General Yang muttered: "You rejected the five princes this time, I'm afraid the five princes won't give up, and then you have to be vigilant and don't let them take advantage of the loopholes."

"Also, tell a few small ones to be cautious, and don't leave the house at will if it's okay."

......

Han Tong was leaning on the couch, a maid was massaging his feet, and another was feeding him grapes, and he looked like he was not enjoying it.

This was the scene Han Da saw when he came in, and the depression of being frustrated at Yang Gang's place in the afternoon suddenly came out.

He lowered his face and shouted, "Get out." ”

The two maids looked at Han Tong fearfully, and when they saw Han Tong nodding, they retreated.

Han Tong propped up his head on his elbows and asked with a smile, "What?" Failed? ”

Han Da didn't answer his question, but walked to the couch and squatted down, took out a handkerchief and wiped the water stains at the corner of his mouth.

Han Tong was stunned, and when he reacted, Han Da had already put away the veil and said, "The maid ring next to you is not very good at serving people, so send it away." ”

For some reason, Han Tong felt that the temperature in the room had suddenly risen, and he felt that his body was heating up, and his head was burned dizzy.

He always felt that something was wrong, and it took him a long time to find his voice: "They are very good, there is no need to change them for the time being." ”

The meaning of this sentence is that he is not tired of them for the time being, so he does not plan to change the ring.

"Whatever you want."

Han Da stood up and sat down on the chair next to him: "I heard that Xiao Lingwei's girl rejected your post?" ”

When he mentioned this matter, Han Tong was angry and didn't come out: "That girl is now cowering in the mansion and won't come out, so I haven't found a chance to talk to her."

"Wait, I'm going to get her."

Han Da looked at his expression carefully, suppressed the strangeness in his heart, and said lightly, "You don't want to send someone to Xiao Mansion to arrest people, right?" ”

Han Tong looked stunned and did not answer.

That's the default.

Han Da said earnestly: "The Xiao Mansion is a family, and the guards raised in the Mansion are by no means ordinary people.

"What's more, Mrs. Xiao Liu is the daughter of General Yang, and her dowry is a martial arts master.

"Besides, the three brothers of Xiao Lingfeng, their martial arts are not weak, you went to see Xiao Lingfeng today, you should have seen his kung fu.

"You send people to Xiao Mansion to arrest people, which is tantamount to letting your people go to death."

Han Tong was silent.
