"Well, I came to you this time to discuss with you about the previous incident!"

When Gao Gong's words fell, Zhang Juzheng's face was full of stunned looks, after all, before this, he had mentioned more than once in front of Gao Gong the idea of letting King Yu go to the fief to become a vassal.

"Didn't Gao Gong say before that he couldn't do it, why did he change his position in the blink of an eye?"

"Is it difficult, the high arch can also be seen......"

Coldly, such an idea suddenly appeared in Zhang Juzheng's mind, and it lingered for a long time.

The more Zhang Juzheng thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, because only in this way could he barely explain why Gao Gong's attitude changed so quickly.

After this, I saw Zhang Juzheng looking at Gao Gong with a radiant look and confirmed to him excitedly.

"Gao Ge Lao, you must have seen it too, right?"

"See what?"

Gao Gong felt confused about Zhang Juzheng's inexplicable words, only to see him frowning, his face full of doubt.

Seeing this, Zhang Juzheng met the gaze of Gao Gong, his face was full of determination, and explained.

"Since the banquet that entertained the Rakshasa delegation last month, His Royal Highness King Yu has no longer had the possibility of inheriting the throne of the prince!"

Gao Gong heard Zhang Juzheng's words, and after thinking about it for a long time, he reacted, and immediately, he saw that his face was full of horror, turned his eyes to Zhang Juzheng, and said something to confirm.

"Zhang Juzheng, what do you mean?"

"Well, that's right, the reason why Your Majesty asked His Royal Highness King Yu to preside over the banquet to entertain the Rakshasa delegation was to take this opportunity to see how His Royal Highness King Yu was able to deal with the problem!"

"In other words, this is a test for His Majesty to His Royal Highness King Yu!"

When Gao Gong heard Zhang Juzheng's words, the expression on his face became extremely gloomy, and he saw him subconsciously clench his fists and add next.

"In the face of the test given by His Majesty, King Yu chose to ask Xu Jie for help, and this is not the situation that His Majesty wants to see."

"In other words, even if King Yu performed perfectly in the whole banquet, in the eyes of His Majesty, it was also an unqualified performance, because this is not the answer sheet that King Yu handed in by relying on his own ability!"

"But King Yu didn't know all this, and he was still immersed in the illusion that he was perfect at the banquet, and then ......"

When Gao Gong said this, he suddenly felt creepy, and he didn't dare to continue to speak.

After that, I saw Zhang Juzheng turn his gaze to Gao Gong and asked.

"In that case, Gao Ge Lao, should we ask Your Majesty as soon as possible to let His Royal Highness King Yu become a vassal?"

"Well, when I go back, I'll send someone to deliver everything you want!"

At this moment, in Gao Gong's tone, full of tiredness that could not be concealed, I saw him wave his hand quite casually and say so.

After Gao Gong said this, he lowered his eyes and looked at the ground nonchalantly, not knowing what he was thinking, while Zhang Juzheng raised his head and looked at the night in mid-air.

For a long time, I only heard Zhang Juzheng's voice without a trace of emotion, which sounded in Gao Gong's ears: "Gao Ge Lao, let's do this for the sake of King Yu, after all, it's good to be an idle rich prince like this!" ”

Then, I saw Zhang Juzheng retract his gaze and said in a voice that only he could hear: "After all, I, Zhang Ju, am from a military family......"

Gao Gong seemed to be moved by Zhang Juzheng's words, and saw a look of amazement appear on his face, so he sighed.

"Yes, you're right, let's do this for the sake of King Yu, I hope he won't blame me as a teacher when the time comes!"

Seeing that the matter had been finalized, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng had no intention of staying any longer, and after a few words of greeting, they immediately left in a sedan chair.

……

Early in the morning, Yan Mansion.

Yan Song, as always, held a bowl of thick porridge in his hand and drank it slowly.

The table was full of all kinds of delicacies, but Yan Song was just concentrating on the small plate of Liuxinju pickles in front of him.

I saw Yan Song unhurriedly picking up the eggs on the table and peeling off the shells, and at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps from outside.

After a while, I saw Yan Shifan walking in and sitting not far from Yan Song.

Seeing this, the maid on the side hurriedly brought a bowl of thick porridge for Yan Shifan, Yan Shifan took the thick porridge from the maid's hand, and began to drink the porridge humming.

In the process, neither father nor son spoke, just concentrating on the dishes on the table.

After the meal, when the maid removed the dishes on the table, I saw Yan Song turn her eyes to Yan Shifan and asked.

"By the way, how are you preparing for the exam soon?"

When Yan Shifan heard Yan Song's words, his expression immediately turned grim, and he responded without thinking.

"Father, the child plans to go to the Gongyuan in person after he gets off duty today to see the situation there!"

When Yan Song heard this, he nodded imperceptibly, and then said with a command.

"Well, you must be more careful in this matter, after all, this is an exam for the clan and the nobles, if you are not careful, something will go wrong, in addition, you have to guard against Xu Jie!"

After listening to Yan Song's reminder, the expression on Yan Shifan's face also became solemn, only to see him frowning and confirming to Yan Song.

"Father, you mean, Xu Jie, they may take this opportunity to ......"

Hearing this, Yan Song glanced at Yan Shifan and said unhurriedly.

"You can't go wrong with being careful!"

"Thank you father for reminding me, the child will pay attention!"

Yan Song saw that Yan Shifan listened to his advice, nodded, and followed the order.

"Okay, hurry up and get ready, and come with me to the duty later!"

"Yes, Father!"

……

Outside the cabinet, after the sedan chair that Yan Song was riding stopped steadily, Yan Shifan on the side immediately stepped forward and carefully supported Yan Song.

"Father, slow down!"

"Hmm."

When Yan Song heard this, he responded imperceptibly, and just let Yan Shifan support him and get out of the sedan chair.

And this scene was fully seen by Xu Jie, who had just come down from the sedan chair not far away, and at this moment, a gloomy color flashed in his eyes.

"Hmph, Yan Song, you old immortal thing, you look like this, and you still rely on the position of the first assistant of the cabinet and don't leave, why didn't you send you away when you were seriously ill?"

"Otherwise, the throne of the first assistant of the cabinet would have been my Xu Jie!"

After that, I saw Xu Jie's three steps and two steps, came to Yan Song's face, and spoke first.

"I've seen Yan Ge Lao!"

"Oh, it's Elder Xu Ge!"

When Yan Song heard this, he looked Xu Jie up and down with his cloudy eyes before he responded.

After this, Xu Jie and Yan Song walked side by side, while Yan Shifan followed behind them just right, bowing his head and not saying a word.

Immediately, I saw Xu Jie's gaze sweeping over Yan Song's body and taking the lead in provoking the topic.

"Speaking of Yan Ge Lao, it is already the middle of June now, and after a while, it will be July and August, and by then, the rainfall will increase significantly, I don't know what those dikes ......"

When Yan Song heard Xu Jie's words, he paused suddenly, then turned around, looked directly into Xu Jie's eyes, and said reassuringly.

"Don't worry, Elder Xu Ge, even if the flood season comes, there will be no problems with those embankments!"

"Well, that way, I'm relieved!"
