After the banquet was over, Yan Song, Yan Shifan, father and son, each took a sedan chair and marched towards Yan's mansion.

Yan Song is old because of his age, so he only tastes the matter of drinking.

At this moment, his mind was still very quick, and what had happened at the banquet earlier kept coming back to his mind.

Immediately, I saw him open the sedan curtain and look at the scenery outside, not knowing what he was thinking.

Since it was late and there was no one on the road, looking from Yan Song's perspective, he could vaguely see the stars hanging in mid-air.

Since the Yan Mansion is located on one of the busiest streets in the capital, it is very close to the Forbidden City.

Therefore, the sedan chair taken by Yan Song and Yan Shifan father and son quickly arrived at the destination, and according to the previous practice, returned to Yan's mansion through the side door.

Although Yan Shifan had become drunk, he still did not forget his duty.

The moment Yan Song's sedan chair stopped, he stepped forward and carefully supported Yan Song.

"Father, you ...... Slow down and watch your step! ”

When Yan Song heard this, after looking Yan Shifan up and down, he immediately said coldly.

"Yan Shifan, you better take care of yourself first!"

After that, I saw that Yan Song refused Yan Shifan's support and walked in the direction of the study by himself.

Seeing this, Yan Shifan hurriedly took three steps and two steps to keep up with Yan Song's pace, and then explained.

"Father...... Father, the child doesn't know what's wrong, today's wine seems to be extraordinarily tasty, the child just drank a few glasses, and it became like this! ”

"But the stories told by those Rakshasas are really interesting, sailing around the sea in ships and seeing the customs of different countries!"

After Yan Shifan finished speaking, he shook his head vigorously, trying to keep himself awake.

Yan Song ignored Yan Shifan's last sentence, only to see him pause suddenly, turn around, and say coldly.

"Hmph, don't you take a look, what kind of wine is the wine used at today's banquet, this is the top wine in the Zhengde period!"

"There must be a limit to drinking, look at the few people who attended the banquet today, besides you, who else is drunk like this?"

When Yan Shifan heard this, he tried to think about it for a long time before he reacted, and immediately leaned down and responded respectfully.

"Thank you father for reminding me, the child knows it's wrong, and he'll pay attention next time!"

Yan Song saw that Yan Shifan understood what he meant, withdrew his gaze, and commanded in a deep voice.

"Well, let's go, come with me to the study, I still have something to explain to you!"

"Yes, Father!"

After that, Yan Shifan followed Yan Song's footsteps and entered the study of Yan's mansion together.

……

Soon after the father and son entered the study, a maid soon stepped forward and brought them two bowls of decanting soup.

After Yan Song took the decanting soup from the maid's hand, he immediately commanded.

"Well, there's nothing to do with you here, go down!"

"Yes!"

When the maid heard Yan Song's words, she bowed and bowed, and soon left the study, but when the maid left, she also brought the door of the study with her.

Seeing this, Yan Song couldn't help frowning slightly, but he didn't dwell too much on this matter, but looked at Yan Shifan, who was sitting not far away at this moment, and asked.

"Yan Shifan, what do you think of King Yu's performance tonight?"

"Back to my father's words, the child thinks that His Royal Highness King Yu's performance tonight is very good!"

"You said that Your Majesty, will you take this opportunity to establish His Royal Highness King Yu as the prince?"

Although the drunkenness on Yan Shifan's face was very obvious, under the effect of the decanting soup, his thoughts were much clearer than before.

After recalling it for a long time, he mustered up the courage to ask Yan Song like this.

Yan Song did not rush to answer Yan Shifan's question, but confirmed to him after glancing at him coldly.

"So it's precisely because of this consideration that you frequently show favor to King Yu at the banquet?"

Seeing that his mind was broken by Yan Song's words, Yan Shifan's face couldn't help but show a touch of embarrassment, and after hesitating for a long time, he nodded and responded respectfully.

"Father, the child thinks so, in case His Royal Highness King Yu is officially established as the prince at that time......"

It's just that before Yan Shifan's words were finished, he was coldly interrupted by Yan Song.

"Yan Shifan, you fool who thinks you are smart!"

The more Yan Song thought about it, the more angry he became, only to see him get up from his seat suddenly, come to Yan Shifan's side, look at Yan Shifan with a look of hatred for iron and steel, and pointed at his nose and scolded.

"Yan Shifan, have you forgotten, what is our relationship with King Yu?"

After Yan Song finished speaking, without waiting for Yan Shifan to respond, he continued to take care of himself.

"We have an incompatible relationship with King Yu, if he inherits the unification one day, then what awaits us is a ruthless liquidation!"

"At that time, you, me, and everyone in our Yan family will have to be dragged by him to the entrance of the vegetable market to beheaded!"

"And you, you actually shamelessly got up, Yan Shifan, you are really a complete idiot!"

After Yan Shifan was scolded mercilessly by Yan Song, he broke out in a cold sweat because he was too afraid.

But after that, his thoughts began to become clearer, and the events that had happened at the banquet earlier began to come back to his mind.

It was only at this time that Yan Shifan realized how stupid his original behavior was.

Immediately, I saw Yan Shifan with a look of self-blame on his face, lowered his head, and said in shame.

"Father, the child knows it's wrong!"

Yan Song took in the expression on Yan Shifan's face, and a trace of unbearable color flashed on his face, only to see him sigh and say slowly.

"However, from now on, King Yu will never have a chance to inherit the unification!"

When Yan Shifan heard this, his face was full of doubts, and he saw him look in the direction where Yan Song was, and then asked.

"Father, what do you mean by that?"

"Yuwang's performance at the banquet, you and I are obvious to all, his performance is perfect, and there is no fault in the whole process!"

Yan Song met Yan Shifan's extremely puzzled gaze, and after sorting out the language in his mind, he explained.

"It is precisely because King Yu behaved too perfectly that he completely lost his position with the prince!"

Yan Song paused for a moment when he said this, and then continued next.

"I guess the reason why Your Majesty asked King Yu to preside over this banquet is to take this opportunity to test King Yu and see how he should adapt and respond reasonably when he encounters problems!"

"But as you just said, at this banquet, King Yu's performance was so perfect that His Majesty could not use this opportunity to get to know King Yu better."

When Yan Song said this, he withdrew his gaze from Yan Shifan's body, turned his words, and said to himself.

"Besides, who do you think King Yu can perform so perfectly, who is behind it?"

After listening to Yan Song's explanation, Yan Shifan suddenly had a look of sudden realization on his face, and immediately said excitedly.

"Father, do you mean that all this is Xu Jie's ghost?"

"Well, that's right, that's what I meant!"

Yan Song saw that Yan Shifan understood what he meant, nodded imperceptibly, and then returned to his seat and sat down, and continued.

"Originally, Your Majesty wanted to see if King Yu could rely on his own strength to host this banquet."

"Who knew that King Yu chose a shortcut and ran to ask Xu Jie, in this way, although King Yu was able to hand in a full score of the answer sheet, but in the eyes of His Majesty, this is an unqualified performance!"

"Because as the crown prince, if you don't have your own opinions, if you can only rely on others for everything, you will definitely not be able to become a great weapon, and Your Majesty will never hand over Daming to King Yu!" (End of chapter)
