At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 49 I'm Too Difficult
Prince Yi's Mansion is in the inner city, Yu Qian got off duty, took a sedan chair and squinted for a while before arriving.

When you get out of the sedan chair, you will see two majestic stone lions. On the vermilion lacquered gate, there is a nanmu plaque hanging on it, with the inscription of "Ying Wang Fu" in three big characters.

There were guards guarding the gate of the palace, and when they saw that it was Yu Qian, they rushed in to welcome him in.

Entering the mansion, you will see staggered pavilions, green tiles everywhere, water pavilions and terraces, ancient trees and strange rocks, which not only has the grand style of the royal family, but also has the charm of simple and elegant folk.

"Yu Shilang!"

Yu Qian looked up and saw that it was Zhu Qiyu who came to greet him in person, and hurriedly kowtowed and saluted.

"Your Majesty, Yu Qian, pay homage to His Royal Highness King Yan!"

"Please get up, Minister Yu!" Zhu Qiyu stepped forward to help Yu Qian up, and said, "I heard that Minister Yu likes things in the cup, and this king has specially prepared a good wine. I will not return home tonight without getting drunk!"

Seeing Zhu Qiyu's enthusiasm, Yu Qian had no choice but to say: "It's an honor to be an official!"

Zhu Qiyu laughed, and said: "Young Minister Yu is a minister of the court, it is my honor to be able to come to my palace to have a drink!"

Yu Qian's expression tightened, and he hurriedly said: "The lower officials are terrified!"

"There are no outsiders here, don't be too cautious!"

While talking, Zhu Qiyu took Yu Qian's hand and came to the front hall, which was already full of people. Seeing the two people coming in, they all got up and saluted.

Yu Qian took a glance, and there were Datong left officer Shi Heng, Datong commander Shi Biao, Imperial Academy attendant Xu Xuan, Jinyiwei commander Ma Shun, the eunuch Cao Jixiang, the supervisor of rituals, and Cao Jixiang's godson Cao Qin, and two godsons of Wang Zhen, Mao Gui and Wang Changsui.

Uncle Shi Heng, Shi Biao and his nephew came back after the defeat of Datong, and the rest are Wang Zhen’s accomplices. Well, they are all here, so I will find them one by one!

Zhu Qiyu waved his hands and said: "Tonight is my king's private banquet, so don't be restrained, all of you can sit down!"

Everyone first gave Zhu Qiyu the first seat, and then gave Yu Qian the first seat to the left of Zhu Qiyu, and then they took their seats one after another.

Yu Qian came to the banquet tonight for the purpose of probing, but he was not polite at the moment, and sat beside Zhu Qiyu with his clothes up.

Zhu Qiyu picked up the wine glass, said a few polite words, and the dinner officially began.

At first, everyone was quite restrained, but after drinking for three rounds, they gradually let go.

Xu Yu came to Yu Qian with a wine glass, and said, "Master Yu, I would like to offer you a toast!"

Yu Qian picked up the wine glass and drank it down without saying a word.

"Good drink!"

Xu Yu picked up the jug and helped Yu Qian pour the wine, saying: "Master Yu is a good drinker, and he is highly valued, which is really enviable!"

Yu Qian said with a half-smile: "I'm just doing my best. You are all the pillars of the country. What is there to envy?"

"That's different!" Xu Xuan shook his head and said, "The current empress dowager, and several academicians in the cabinet, call us all Xu Shishang, General Shi, and Commander Ma... But when they call Mrs. Yu, it is Yu Qian. , Yu Qian! The closeness and closeness among them can be seen at once!"

"Xu Shi is right in saying that!" Cao Jixiang also approached with a wine glass, and said, "When the late emperor was around, he was also called that way, which is enough to show that Lord Yu's status is extraordinary!"

Yu Qian had no choice but to cater to him pretendingly, and said: "Eunuch Cao's words are serious, maybe because he speaks more directly on weekdays, and his words often offend the late emperor. The first emperor called me by his name, which is also a warning."

"This is more reflective of the extraordinary status of adults!" Ma Shun also came over and said, "If it were an ordinary person who dared to contradict the late emperor, he would have been arrested in Zhao Prison long ago. How could he be like Lord Yu? , not only without fault, but also deeply appreciated by the late emperor."

Everyone chattered and came over to toast one after another, but Yu Qian never refused to come, one cup after another, the toasts were intertwined, gradually getting better.

"It's a pity, it's a pity!" Xu Xuan shook his head, and said drunkenly, "When the first emperor was here, how much he valued his lord, but now His Majesty... oh..."

Yu Qian understood in his heart that these words seemed to be unintentional, but in fact they were carefully considered. Finally, the topic came!

"How did Shi Shi say this?"

Xu Yu seemed to realize that he had slipped his tongue after drinking, so he smiled shyly and waved his hands.

"Don't talk about this, come, drink!"

Yu Qian didn't continue to ask. He knew that this was a message for himself. They were all old foxes, so of course they wouldn't speak clearly.

Everyone tacitly agreed, and continued to urge them to drink. The banquet lasted until late at night before they left.

When the people were almost gone, Yu Qian stood up and saluted: "Thank you for your hospitality, Your Majesty, it's time for you to go back!"

"Yu Shilang stay behind!"

Zhu Qiyu swept away the drunkenness on his face, and said seriously: "Please move to the study, the king wants to chat with Yu Shilang a few more words."

Yu Qian bowed and saluted, and then followed Zhu Qiyu to the study.

A maid brought tea over, Zhu Qiyu said in a deep voice: "After you go out, close the door, no one is allowed to enter!"

"Yes!"

There were only two people sitting face to face in the study room, Zhu Qiyu's face suddenly became serious, and he asked: "Yu Qian, there is no outsider here, tell me the truth, did you do it?"

Yu Qian was very puzzled and asked, "What do you mean by your highness?"

"Don't pretend to be confused with me!" Zhu Qiyu seemed to be a different person, and asked, "The emperor's brother is going deep into the desert now, and his life and death are uncertain. At the cusp of the storm, wouldn't it be trapping the king and being unfaithful and unfilial?"

Yu Qian scratched his head and said helplessly, "Your Majesty... don't understand what His Highness means?"

"That eunuch Cao Jixiang found me and said that you advocate letting me supervise the country, but you still don't admit it?"

"No!"

Yu Qian is about to cry, what kind of hats are put on my head?

Zhu Qiyu said coldly: "If not, why did you come to the banquet?"

"I, I... Xiaguan..." Yu Qian sighed, and had to say truthfully, "Actually, Xiaguan came here this time to listen to the rumors, please forgive me, Your Highness!"

Only then did Zhu Qiyu's expression soften a little, and he asked, "It's really not you?"

Yu Qian explained: "The lower official has confronted the emperor face to face, but it was all for the sake of the Ming Dynasty and the country, and there is no selfishness. Please also learn from your highness!"

After a while, Zhu Qiyu asked again: "What about that edict?"

"The lower officials don't know..."

"Brother Huang hand-picked you to be Minister of the Ministry of War, plus Zuo Dudu, and command the Beijing camp. You can't tell now? Yu Qian, are you fooling a ghost?"

Yu Qian wanted to cry without tears, how do I know what the emperor thinks, it's too difficult for me!
"This imperial edict came suddenly. As for the deep meaning of it, I'm afraid we can only tell clearly when the emperor comes back."

"Well, I will trust you once for now!" Zhu Qiyu thought for a while and said, "Don't bring up the matter of supervising the country again!"

"Your Highness is benevolent and righteous, I feel that..."

At this time, Yu Qian suddenly changed his mind and said, "It's okay for His Highness to be the supervisor of the country at this time!"
