Daming: Grandpa Emperor, please get up and sit on my throne!

They acted as if nothing had happened and the atmosphere was lively, but they were actually waiting to see what Lan Yu and Chang Sheng would say!

If Lan Yu and Chang Sheng also care about this matter, then they will be safe.

If Lan Yu and Chang Sheng still choose to stand firmly behind the new emperor, the weight of the other people here is still not enough for them to act recklessly, and they... can only pretend that what happened today never happened!

While pretending to clink glasses and exchange cups.

Everyone noticed that Lan Yu's face was gloomy, and his right hand, which was holding the wine glass, never put it down. He looked hesitant, and it was obvious that he was thinking about something.

As for the other person they cared about particularly, the new emperor's uncle, Duke Chang Sheng, he seemed to have no idea what to do. He just tilted his head to look at the silent Lan Yu, probably waiting for the other party's answer.

that's it.

After a few drinks.

Lan Yu stood up and said in a deep voice, "There are important matters to be dealt with at the residence today. You should all go back first."

Everyone once again tacitly put down their bowls, chopsticks and wine glasses. Although they maintained a normal expression, a hint of excitement appeared in their eyes.

They understood that although Lan Yu had not yet expressed his opinion, he was obviously hesitant and did not immediately reject the idea outright! Asking them to leave at this time was simply because he had not yet made up his mind.

But it doesn't matter.

Because they already knew Lan Yu wasn't absolutely resolute, that was enough—greed is a bottomless pit, and they themselves are greedy, so they know it best! With today's incident as a trigger, Lan Yu will eventually make a choice in his heart and follow his heart.

Even though there are still some family ties between nephews and grandchildren who are separated by two backups, generally speaking, the ties will not be so deep as to give up the benefits that they would naturally get.

As for Chang Sheng, he was a junior who had always been dependent on his uncle, Lan Yu, and didn't have many opinions or decisions of his own, just as he had just now. Besides, the one who held the most power in the discussion now was not Chang Sheng, but Lan Yu.

"In that case, let's not bother you anymore."

"Then I'll go back home first! Come to the Duke of Liang's mansion for a drink another day!"

"I'm with Lao Cao, together."

"Goodbye for now!"

"..."

After a brief silence, everyone stood up one after another, clasped their fists towards Lan Yu, and said goodbye.

The hall of Duke Liang's Mansion became quiet again.

Only leftovers were left on the table, the soup in the pot still bubbling. Only Lan Yu was sitting in the main seat, Chang Sheng beside him, and...

Zhang Wen, Marquis of Huining.

Lan Yu put down the wine glass in his hand with a solemn expression, narrowed his eyes, frowned and looked at Zhang Wen, and asked in a cold voice: "Zhang Wen? Everyone has left, why are you staying here?"

That's right, everyone left the table one by one. At this moment, apart from the uncle and nephew Lan Yu and Chang Sheng, Zhang Wen was the only outsider left.

There seemed to be thousands of troops in Lan Yu's eyes, and there was an extremely sharp look in his eyes when he looked at Zhang Wen.

As everyone can see.

Lan Yu was indeed hesitant and conflicted.

Of course he was greedy, a greed that even the Hongwu Emperor couldn't suppress. So how could he completely abandon restraint just for the sake of his niece's son? Was his support for Zhu Yunhuan, his unconditional praise for him, simply because he was his nephew? That could be one reason, but the greater underlying motivation must have been the promises Zhu Yunhuan had made.

Otherwise, if the relationship between uncle and nephew who are two generations apart can be so strong, there would not be any tragedies of fathers and sons killing each other, or brothers killing each other in major dynasties from ancient times to the present!

Facing Lan Yu's sharp gaze, Zhang Wen's lower eyelids trembled slightly, but he still stood up and clasped his fists, saying: "I will stay here and offer a plan to the Duke of Liang."
