Looking at the eldest son who was gritting his teeth and looking angry, he shook his head imperceptibly.

If it were Yang Fan, he would definitely go to the banquet with honor and disgrace. However, his son still lacks official training, and his temperament is indeed much worse than that of Yang Fan.

But in order to remind his son, Changsun Wuji still asked: "Chong'er thinks we should go?"

"Of course not. That guy has targeted us again and again. How can we give him any more face? Besides, that kid actually wrote such a shameless poem as "The Love of Lotus". The child would like to eat his flesh and drink his blood." Changsun Chong.

Gritting teeth and feeling angry.

Changsun Wuji sighed slightly: "Chong'er, love, hatred and hatred always make people crazy. You let me down so much."

"If you don't wake up again, my father will definitely ask His Majesty to remove you from all positions and go home to reflect on yourself. Otherwise, the family will be harmed."

Changsun Chong was shocked and asked anxiously: "Father, has the child done something wrong?"

Originally, I was physically disabled, but in the future I just wanted to make some achievements in the officialdom.

Once he was kicked off all official positions, his eldest son, Sun Chong, really didn't know what the meaning of life was.

Although he was a little disappointed, Changsun Wuji decided to give some advice. Except for Changsun Chong, the other sons were even more useless: "Do you think it's great that you lead the Right Guards on your behalf?"

"My kid doesn't dare. All this is due to my father." Changsun Chong quickly answered with fear and fear.

Changsun Wuji shook his head: "You are wrong. This is not the merit of my father, but of the loyal and righteous marquis."

"If he hadn't deposed Duan Zan, you would never have been able to take charge of the right guard."

"How do you think you compare with Duan Zan?"

Without waiting for Changsun Chong to answer, Changsun Wuji continued: "From my father's perspective, the talents of the two of you can be said to be between equals. In terms of military affairs, Duan Zan may be stronger."

"But even so, Duan Zan was completely defeated in front of Yang Fan. It can be said that he has no backhand power."

"Yang Fan blatantly chopped off Duan Zan's foot. Do you think he made a mistake?"

Changsun Chong asked in surprise: "Did that guy Yang Fan have a premeditated plan?"

Changsun Wuji stroked his short beard and said firmly: "I don't know if there was a premeditated plan, but from the moment Duan Zan came to look for trouble, Yang Fan never wanted to let him go."

"That boy Yang Fan acted meticulously. He led Duan Zan into the trap step by step, leaving the Yushitai unable to do anything about him. Do you think he is a reckless person?"

"Those aristocratic families are not vegetarians. If they can really catch Yang Fan, they won't let it go."

Changsun Chong looked horrified, cupped his hands and said, "I know I'm wrong, kid."

Changsun Wuji said cautiously: "The most valuable thing about a person is self-awareness. The more terrifying the opponent is, the more we must treat it calmly. Only by understanding the opponent's behavior can we preemptively strike."

"Yang Fan is young, but he is as smart as a ghost. He is even more cunning and intelligent than Cheng Yaojin. I have been in official circles for many years, but I have never seen such a difficult person. I have to be careful in the future. It is best not to

Had a direct conflict with him."

Changsun Chong said in confusion: "What does that have to do with whether we go to the banquet or not?"

Changsun Wuji took a sip of tea: "Do you think that boy's big fanfare to welcome the Queen Mother Xiao was really just to show attention and excitement?"

"Isn't it?" Changsun Chong looked confused.

In his opinion, Yang Fan just likes to show off.

Changsun Wuji leaned back leisurely: "Of course it's not that simple. That kid just wants to take advantage of the situation."

"There will be major changes in the Spring Imperial Examination next year, which will greatly harm the interests of the world's aristocratic families and powerful families, and some of them will definitely interfere with it."

"Now that Empress Dowager Xiao is a living brand, Yang Fan will definitely be able to reduce a lot of resistance in the process of presiding over the imperial examination."

Changsun Chong suddenly realized this and felt a little ashamed.

If it weren't for his father's persuasive guidance, he really wouldn't have known there would be so many twists and turns.

He was extremely jealous of Yang Fan, but he was also more cautious.

Not only Changsun Wuji, but also many noble families in Chang'an City also use different methods to mention their descendants.

As the protagonist of everyone's discussion, Yang Fan was greeting guests from all walks of life, almost laughing at the corner of his mouth.

Seeing that the guests had almost arrived, he was about to turn around and go back home when the sound of rapid horse hooves came, and he faintly heard someone calling his name.

Turning around, he saw Cheng Chumo, Li Jinghuan, Fang Yiai, Du He and others waving to him.

Turning around and standing still, Yang Fan was a little surprised when he looked at the people who came to him: "Why are you together?"

No wonder Yang Fan asked this question. Since Yang Fan came back from the expedition, he heard that Cheng Chumo and Li Jinghuan were leading the soldiers to garrison in shifts and would not be able to return until two days before the New Year's Eve.

Fang Yiai and Du He were far away in Quanzhou to collaborate with Xue Rengui on shipbuilding. They came together, which of course surprised Yang Fan.

Several people jumped off their horses, and Cheng Chumo pouted and said, "After we received your message, we hurried back and met Du He and the others on the official road. Fortunately, we caught up!"

Fang Yiai also smiled and said: "We are really happy for Brother Yishan. Not only has he made great achievements in Tubo, but now he has recognized Empress Dowager Xiao as his godmother. Congratulations."

Du He also quickly congratulated.

Looking at the dusty people, Yang Fan patted their shoulders and said gratefully: "Brothers, I'm very happy to be here. Come on, it's cold. You've come all the way. Let's go in and have a glass of wine to warm up.

."

"Brother Yishan understands us. We won't come home until we get drunk today." Fang Yiai licked his chapped lips, his eyes full of joy.

This year, I spent a lot of time building ships and training caravan guards on the beach. My mouth almost faded away, and my face was full of cracks from the sea wind.

However, people seem less carefree and more steady than before.

Du He also said: "Xue Rengui was originally going to come, but when it was the most critical time for the ship to be assembled, he couldn't leave and asked me to wait to say sorry."

"We are all brothers, why should we be so polite? Anyway, there will be many opportunities in the future. I, Yang Fan, will always keep your deep friendship in my heart. From now on, I will put loyalty first and pledge myself to you..."

"Get out of here!" Several people were almost disgusted by Yang Fan. They agreed with their bodies and couldn't help but tighten up when they thought of the chrysanthemum.

Yang Fan chuckled: "Okay, we've had enough food and wine today, so don't poop your pants."

Cheng Chumo yelled, "Let's see if we don't get you drunk until you can't find the north."

Li Jinghuan gave Yang Fan a blow on the chest and sighed: "I can't believe that among us brothers, you were the first one to go to the battlefield, and he accomplished such extraordinary feats and recognized Empress Dowager Xiao as his godmother. How can we not

Drink you to death."

As Yang Fan walked, he did not forget to fight back: "Who is afraid of whom?"

The brotherhood is vividly reflected in every word.

In fact, it was not that complicated to recognize relatives in ancient times. Under the witness of everyone, Yang Fan kowtowed a few times, served tea, and gave each other gifts.

After that comes the opening of the banquet.

Wu Meiniang transferred many cooks and guests from the Yingke Building, and there were also people taking care of every aspect, but the arrangements were orderly.

On the contrary, His Majesty Li Er, a pretentious fellow, arrived relatively late. Yang Fan, who had been drinking for three rounds, was already drunk, so Li Er came late with his family.

Good guy!

There were quite a lot of people who came. In addition to Princess Gaoyang, Xiao Sizi and others, company commander Sun Wugao, Concubine Yang and others also came together, a large force of almost twenty people.
