The Prince of Hui was in the inner city. Yu Qian got off duty, got into the sedan chair and took a nap and arrived.

After leaving the sedan chair, two majestic stone lions were caught in their eyes. A nanmu plaque was hung on the red lacquer gate, with three powerful words "Zhi Wang Mansion" written on it.

There were guards guarding the gate of the palace. When he saw that it was Yu Qian, he hurriedly welcomed him in.

When you enter the mansion, you will see the interlaced pavilions, green tiles, water pavilions, ancient trees and strange stones. They have the style of royal wealth and dignity, and the charm of the simple and elegant folk charm.

"Shilarious Minister Yu!"

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

"Sir Yu Qian, pay homage to His Highness, King Hui!"

"Please get up!" Zhu Qiyu stepped forward and helped Yu Qian up and said, "I heard that Yu Shiyu likes the things in the cup. I have specially prepared the best wine. I will never return drunk tonight!"

Seeing Zhu Qiyu so enthusiastic, Yu Qian had to say: "The officials are honored!"

Zhu Qiyu laughed and said, "Shilarious Minister Yu is the backbone of the court. It is my honor to be able to come to my palace for wine!"

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

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

As he spoke, Zhu Qiyu took Yu Qian's hand to the front hall. It was already full of people. When they saw the two of them coming in, they all stood up to salute.

Yu Qian glanced at it and there were Datong left sect general Shi Heng, Datong commander Shi Biao, Hanlin Academy lecturer Xu Feng, Jinyiwei commander Ma Shun, Sili Supervisor Eunuch Cao Jixiang, Cao Jixiang's godson Cao Qin, and two were Wang Zhen's godson, Mao Gui and Wang Changsui.

Shi Heng and Shi Biao’s uncle and nephew ran back after the defeat of Datong. The rest were Wang Zhen’s party. OK, all of them have arrived. I have been so sad that I went to search one by one!

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and said, "Tonight is my king's private banquet. Don't be restrained, just take your seat!"

Everyone first gave Zhu Qiyu to the first place, and then gave Yu Qian to the first place on Zhu Qiyu's left hand, and then they all sat down.

Yu Qian came to the banquet tonight, just to test it, and he was not polite at the moment, so he lifted his clothes and sat next to Zhu Qiyu.

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

At first, everyone was still quite restrained. After three rounds of drinking, they slowly let go.

Xu Xu brought the wine glass to Yu Qian and said, "Mr. Yu, I will give you a glass!"

Yu Qian picked up the wine glass, but didn't say anything, and drank it all in one go.

“Good alcohol!”

Xu Feng picked up the wine pot and helped Yu Qian pour wine, saying, "Mr. Yu is very enviable!"

Yu Qian said with a smile: "I am just doing my best. You are all pillars of the country. What can I envy?"

"That's different!" Xu Xiang shook his head and said, "Now the Empress Dowager and several Grand Secretary of the Cabinet call us all lecturers Xu, General Shi, Commander Ma... But when he called Yu, he was Yu Qian, Yu Qian! The closeness and distantness among them can be seen at once!"

"Shi Xu said this!" Cao Jixiang also came over with a wine glass and said, "When the late emperor was there, he also called it that way, which is enough to show that Lord Yu's status is extraordinary!"

Yu Qian had no choice but to pretend to cater to him and said, "Eunuch Cao's words are so serious. Maybe it's because he speaks more directly in his daily life and is often offensive to the late emperor in his words. The late emperor called him the name below, which is also a warning."

"This can better reflect the extraordinary status of the adult!" 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 Zhaozhuo long ago. How could he be like the adult Yu? Not only would he be unlucky, but he was also highly appreciated by the late emperor."

Everyone came over to toast, but Yu Qian refused everyone, one cup after another, and the cup was mixed, and the time was getting better.

"What a pity!" Xu Xiang shook his head and said drunkenly, "When the late emperor was there, he valued him so much, but now His Majesty...ah..."

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

"What does Xu Shi say about this?"

Xu Xu seemed to have noticed that he had made a mistake after drinking, so he smiled embarrassedly and waved his hand.

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

Yu Qian did not continue to ask. He knew that this was a message to him. They were all old foxes, so of course they would not explain it thoroughly.

Everyone was tacitly convinced and continued to persuade them to drink. The banquet went on late at night before leaving.

After almost leaving, Yu Qian stood up and saluted: "Thank you for your hospitality. It's time for the lord to go back!"

"Stand up!"

Zhu Qiyu glanced at the drunkenness on his face and said seriously: "Please move to the study. I want to chat with Mr. Yu for a few more words."

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

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

"yes!"

There were only two people sitting face to face in the study. Zhu Qiyu's face suddenly became cold and asked, "Yu Qian, there are no outsiders here. Tell the truth to me, did you do it?"

Yu Qian was puzzled and asked, "What do you say about Your Highness?"

"Don't pretend to be confused with me!" Zhu Qiyu seemed to have become a different person and asked, "Now the emperor's brother is in the desert, and his life and death are uncertain. At this critical moment, as an important minister of the dynasty, you don't think about how to stabilize the situation, but push me to the forefront. Wouldn't you betray me and be unfaithful and unfilial?"

Yu Qian scratched his head and said helplessly: "The Lord... I don't understand what Your Highness meant?"

"The eunuch Cao Jixiang found me and said that you advocated that I beg me to supervise the country, but you still don't admit it?"

"No!"

Yu Qian was almost crying, and he was holding all his hats on my head?

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

"I, I... the lower official..." Yu Qian sighed and had to say truthfully, "Actually, the lower official came here to find out the truth. Please forgive me!"

Zhu Qiyu's face then calmed down a little, and he asked, "Isn't it really you?"

Yu Qian explained: "The lower-ranking officials contradicted the emperor in person, but that was all for the Ming Dynasty and the country, and they were not selfish. Please give your highness a clear understanding!"

After a while, Zhu Qiyu asked again: "What's going on with that edict?"

"The officials don't know..."

"Your brother appointed you as the Minister of War, the Left Governor, and the commander of the Beijing camp. You can't explain it clearly now? Yu Qian, are you fooling around?"

Yu Qian was so anxious that he could not cry. How could I know what the emperor was thinking? It was so difficult for me!

"This edict came suddenly. As for the profound meaning of it, I'm afraid I can only explain it clearly when the emperor comes back."

"Okay, I will believe you once!" Zhu Qiyu thought for a while and said, "Don't mention the matter of governing the country!"

"Your Highness is kind and righteous, the lower official feels..."
