Duan Wang Wen Zhehan's attitude towards the Su Wang Party was not friendly.

This can be seen from his attitude towards Li Wanrou.

Yan Qing took advantage of his unfamiliarity with the dignitaries in Beijing and asked Wang Shuyu to give him a rough introduction, and he was able to find out the details of the people present.

During the entire autumn banquet, apart from the staunch members of King Duan's party, there were actually only three or two rebels from the King's Party. Except for a few neutral forces who had always been loyal to the emperor, none of the others came.

Since he said he was inviting all the talented people and beauties in the capital to the banquet, it was absolutely impossible for Wen Zhehan not to send notices to those families, clearly to offend them.

The people present at the moment, in a sense, acquiesced in supporting Wen Zhehan as the crown prince.

Except for the Zhennan Hou Mansion behind Li Wanrou.

The four border princes could not stay in the capital permanently, but after Wen Zhemao lost power, Li Dingshan returned to the capital with his own soldiers on the grounds that he had to return to Beijing to face the emperor because of the intrusion of Japanese pirates in the South China Sea.

Although Li Dingshan never stepped out of the palace except for going to Beijing to meet the emperor, the thirty thousand soldiers Li Dingshan brought back were stationed in the southern suburbs of Kangdu.

What is the concept of thirty thousand soldiers?

She didn't know the exact number of soldiers and horses in the entire Kangdu City, but she knew that the Yulin Army responsible for guarding the palace only had a total of only 60,000 people!

The 30,000 soldiers Li Dingshan brought back were a sword hanging over the royal family.

If such power cannot be controlled by oneself, how can one reassure others?

However, Wen Zhehan came to visit three times, but was turned away by Li Dingshan for various reasons. It is obvious that Wen Zhemao's unwavering thoughts on taking sides were obvious.

But Li Dingshan, who was resolute, actually let Li Wanrou come to this autumn banquet, which was really surprising.

Li Dingshan, who has spent half his life in the officialdom, could not fail to see the meaning behind this autumn banquet, and he must also understand that Li Wanrou would not be able to get favors at this banquet.

They watched with cold eyes as the rebellious royal party courted Wen Zhehan while leaving Li Wanrou aside. Some people even deliberately and secretly demeaned Li Wanrou and the Li family in order to please Wen Zhehan, which made Li Wanrou blush with anger and distort her face.

Yan Qing quickly caught an idea in his mind.

Li Dingshan knew that Li Wanrou would be wronged at the banquet. It was natural for the wronged daughter to go home and cry to her father about her grievances, saying so and so, what they said and what they did.

When his daughter has been wronged, it is only natural for the father to seek an explanation.

What a great plan to kill two birds with one stone!

Not only did he find out who the rebels were, but he could also take the opportunity to legitimately suppress all the forces that could be suppressed. It was a good plan!

The thoughts in Yan Qing's mind were spinning rapidly, and his eyes moved from Li Wanrou to Wen Zhehan who was on the main seat, changing glasses with everyone.

So what did he plan?

Is he blatantly displaying his power a deterrent? Or are he ready to force the emperor to establish his position as heir apparent?

At present, Wen Zhemao, the only one who can compete with him, can no longer become the emperor's candidate for the crown prince. As the legitimate son, Wen Zhehan will become the crown prince. There is basically no suspense, but it is only a matter of time.

It's just that the emperor's thoughts are hard to guess. In order to avoid long nights and many dreams, it is natural to confirm the position of prince in his name as early as possible, and then he will be at peace as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Yan Qing suddenly curled up the corners of his lips and silently drank the last glass of wine before the autumn banquet ended.

If this is the case, I can just wait and see what happens.

The sun sets over the west mountain, and this Double Ninth Festival Autumn Banquet comes to an end.

Everyone yelled and left Yunyue Pavilion, but Yan Qing and Wang Shuyu lagged behind.

By the time the dusk was getting darker, everyone had left, leaving only Yan Qing leaning on the railing and looking down the mountain, with Wang Shuyu accompanying him silently.

Not long after, a person came in from outside the pavilion, and Wang Shuyu stood up to greet him.

Yan Qing turned around, bowed respectfully, and asked with a smile: "I wonder if Your Highness asked Sister Wang to stay for this moment. What did you say that you need to speak to Qing alone?"

Wen Zhehan glanced sideways at Wang Shuyu, only to see Wang Shuyu shake her head slightly.

"Your Highness not only asked Sister Wang to wait for Qing at the door, but also asked Sister Wang to speak out for Qing. After the autumn banquet was over and everyone dispersed, Sister Wang was still willing to accompany Qing to enjoy the scenery in the wilderness..."

Yan Qing noticed the subtle movements of the two of them and pointed out the words directly, "Qing Qing privately believes that even if a person has only met once, even if they have a pleasant conversation, it will never be enough to make them reach this point."

Both of them were stunned. Wang Shuyu frowned slightly ashamed and wanted to explain, but Yan Qing's words made sense, and she really couldn't find an explanation.

The Wang family has good relations with the Yan family and strongly supports His Highness Prince Duan. Naturally, they are the best lobbyists to convince the Yan family to side with him.

Whether it was the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet or the Double Ninth Festival Autumn Banquet, I had indeed received the instructions from my father and His Highness to get close to Yan Qing.

But after contacting her, my desire to have a close relationship with her was also true.

But before she could find the opportunity to speak, she asked Yan Qing to directly point out her true intention. For a moment, she didn't know how to face Yan Qing again.

But Yan Qing didn't seem to care about Wang Shuyu's purposeful approach, with a slight smile, and his tone was as gentle and calm as when he first met: "His Royal Highness Kuang stood outside the pavilion for a long time. When the weather calmed down, he showed up to break the deadlock and asked again.

I am responsible for the young lady from Zhennanhou’s family. Although Qing is dull, I think she is not too stupid."

"I don't know, did Qing Qing make a guess?"

Yan Qing asked with a smile, and the answer was obvious.

Wen Zhehan laughed and held up his hands: "General Yan is really a wonderful person! Why don't you guess, General, why I only keep the General?"

Yan Qing slightly raised his eyes: "The general thinks that there is something wrong with the 30,000 soldiers of the Marquis of Zhennan coming to the city."

Wen Zhehan's smile faded and he stared at Yan Qing with his deep eyes, as if he wanted to see a flower on her face.

But what disappointed him was that Yan Qing's expression never changed at all, and it was impossible to guess her thoughts.

Lowering his eyes for a moment, then quickly raising his eyes, Wen Zhehan grinned again, but this time there was a bit more solemnity in his eyes.

"The young general knows things like a god. This is indeed a matter of concern to the young king."

Wen Zhehan sighed lightly, put his hands behind his back, walked to the fence, and looked up at Kangdu City in the distance.

The location of Yunyue Pavilion on Yangchang Mountain is excellent, and you can see most of Kangdu City at a glance. However, due to the distance, you can only see roughly and cannot clearly understand the layout of the city.

This is also the reason why Yangchang Mountain has not been leveled or blocked due to military defense.

But even so, it is enough for people to see clearly the prosperity of Kangdu City.

"I am not afraid of exposing myself to the general. The entire Kangdu City is guarded by three armies and six guards."

Wen Zhehan looked at the prosperous Kangdu City with a sad expression, "The Yulin Army is in charge of the palace, the Suwei Army is in charge of Kangdu, and the Beijing Army assists Jing Zhaoyin in handling cases."

"The six guards are scattered in the cities surrounding Kangdu City to defend each city. The nearest Xiangya Guards rushed to Kangdu at high speed. It will take at least three days."

It was originally a military secret of Kangdu's defense, but now it was told by Wen Zhehan, but Yan Qing's expression remained unchanged.
