Seeing Duan Zhixuan getting angry, Duan Guan couldn't help but shrink his neck timidly, relying on his past favor, he said bravely:
"Father, didn't I know nothing at the beginning? As the saying goes, the ignorant is not guilty, and later I gave in, but the guy refused to let me go..."
"Even after I announced my name, the stick chopped off my hand. If my father doesn't stand up for me, then who will give us the face of Baoguo Duke's family in the future?"
Although he was angry and refused to argue, Duan Zan also felt that what he said made sense.
In his opinion, Yang Fan was just an official who got through luck.
And his father Duan Zhixuan was the founding father of the country who had experienced hundreds of battles.
If he hadn't been afraid of His Majesty Li Er's punishment on Mount Li, he would have asked the Imperial Army to take action.
So he helped: "Yes, father, my second brother is right. That boy Yang Fan doesn't take you seriously at all. It's so hateful!"
At this time, Zhixuan's face was as dark as water. Although he knew that he had to get the situation back, he knew that he couldn't rush it too much.
After pondering for a while, he slowly asked Duan Zan: "I heard from your second brother that you were there with a group of forbidden troops. What were your thoughts?"
Upon hearing this, Duan Guan was overjoyed. He thought Duan Zhixuan wanted to settle accounts with the Queen?
If Duan Zan is really not happy with Duan Zhixuan, then the title of Duke Bao will belong to him from now on!
Thinking of this, Duan Guan cried and looked pitiful, adding to the trouble: "Father, it's because the eldest brother didn't let the imperial army take action that the child ended up like this. What else could he think? Didn't he just want me to die under the knife of that mallet? , in order to monopolize the family property!"
Duan Zan looked at Duan Guan like a fool, feeling really helpless.
Even if he really had this intention, he couldn't do it in public.
What's more, this is related to the reputation of Duke Bao. Brothers fighting for their legitimate rights and killing each other... this is not a good reputation.
Just as he was about to explain, Duan Zhixuan waved his hand and shouted displeased: "Shut up, if you dare to say such things again, believe it or not, I will have you sent back to your old home right away."
Duan Zhixuan was really disappointed. The enemies outside had not been eliminated yet, but the internal fighting between the brothers started first.
He looked at this incompetent second son with hatred, and thought to himself, how about throwing this kid into the army for training?
However, when I saw the broken arm at the shoulder level, I could only sigh slightly. It was really my own fault!
Seeing Duan Zhixuan's face, Duan Guan knew that he had made a mistake just now, so he could only smile brightly.
If he was really sent back to his old home, it would be better to die.
Duan Guan seemed to have fallen into an abyss, but Duan Zan was extremely heroic. After all, this represented Duan Zhixuan's trust.
After organizing his words, he said loudly: "Father, the reason why I didn't order the Forbidden Army to take action at that time was that I was really worried about the forces behind Cheng Chumo and the others, but these are not the most important things..."
"What I worry about the most is His Majesty's dissatisfaction. At that time, the second brother and the others had a conflict, and Baiqi must have reported it to His Majesty. However, no level 100 team members came to stop it at that time. The main task of the imperial army led by Boyer at that time was to maintain His Majesty's safety. If I am using official weapons for private use, for fear of bringing unnecessary trouble to Bao Guo’s government.”
"You did a good job!" After hearing Duan Zan's analysis, Duan Zhixuan nodded with satisfaction and praised.
Although the eldest son did not have the ability to carry forward the Baoguo Duke's mansion.
But if it is just to maintain the status quo, it is more than enough.
After receiving the affirmation, Duan Zan was a little excited and asked quickly: "Then what should we do next?"
Duan Zhixuan's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Although Yang Fan has His Majesty's protection, the imperial power cannot do whatever he wants. Since Your Majesty is so ruthless and doesn't take credit for opening up the territory for him, then don't blame me for being unrighteous. The reason why they took the risk to make friends with the aristocratic family was now the time for them to show their sincerity."
Hearing that Duan Zhixuan actually wanted to unite the aristocratic families to attack His Majesty Li Er, Duan Zan looked a little ugly and seemed hesitant to speak.
Of course Duan Zhixuan knew what his eldest son was thinking, and he smiled: "Zan'er, don't worry, my father is not an old fool. Of course, it is impossible to be tough with His Majesty. We just unite the family to put pressure on him. No one in this world can offend us." The family can still be safe and sound, even if the stick is a favorite."
"Since we plan to unite the aristocratic families to put pressure on His Majesty, why didn't my father refuse the invitation of several princes just now?" Duan Zan was a little confused and looked confused.
Duan Zhixuan looked enigmatic, stroking his beard and smiling slightly: "Although I didn't explicitly reject several princes, I didn't agree to it either; besides, weasels are paying New Year greetings. They have no good intentions. They just like the right guard in X's hands." Army, it’s just mutual benefit.”
Duan Zan was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to his senses and said ecstatically: "What my father means is that some of the princes will..."
"It can't be said, it can't be said... Don't worry, someone should give us an unexpected surprise. That kid thought that hiding in Lishan Mountain would be safe, haha; the New Year's Eve party in a few days will definitely be unforgettable for him! " Before Duan Zan finished speaking, he was interrupted by Duan Zhixuan with a wave of his hand, and he said confidently.
Duan Zhixuan's words immediately made Brother Duan Zan full of confidence, and his eyes were full of expectation. He really wanted to see Yang Fan's final fate.
When the Duan family and his son were secretly plotting, the banquet on Lishan Mountain was already halfway through.
The ancients had relatively few entertainment activities, and holding banquets became a way of communication between upper-class people.
No matter whether you are a noble, a distinguished minister or a talented scholar, you are always willing to invite your close friends to gather together to chat and have a great time!
This is a state, but also a pursuit!
It's a pity that Yang Fan has no luck in pursuing this kind of pursuit.
Because he was not very familiar with the people here, except for Princess Gaoyang, so naturally he would not get close to them, and he couldn't get close even if he wanted to.
He's not that cheap yet to put a hot face against a cold butt.
Since I can't be soft and sweet, I have to focus on the food.
At this time, Yang Fan's maverick, untimely, and unconventional character was revealed.
Others were chatting, Yang Fan was eating vegetables, others were reciting poems and composing poems, and Yang Fan was drinking. His unique style attracted everyone's attention.
Yang Fan has been eating since the beginning of the banquet, and he has never stopped eating. How can he still eat now? He is simply a loser.
The most he did was to shamelessly pick up food for Princess Gaoyang who was standing aside. This kind of warm-hearted behavior was secretly despised by the boys.
In their view, how can a man be so weak?
Looks of contempt and disdain flew towards him like swords, guns, swords and sticks.
However, Yang Fan remained calm and continued to go his own way, eating and drinking when he should, and occasionally turning his head to look at Princess Gaoyang.
As the saying goes, beauty is delicious!
The beauty in front of her, especially her beautiful autumn eyes that seemed angry but not strange, made Yang Fan unable to help but have a big appetite, which made him eat more and take more.
Eating like this, he stands out from the crowd like a starving ghost.
In the eyes of the consorts, isn't Yang Fan's behavior a sign of being a loser and being vulgar?
