The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Chapter 365 Hat
Wang Gang and the others didn't want to talk about the matter of seizing the heir, but King Yong and King Yan came to him on their own initiative.

Qi Heng suddenly approached Wang Gang the next day and brought an invitation from his father, Duke Qi.

King Yong hosted a banquet to invite Wang Gang, Duke of Qi, Marquis of Ningyuan and Marquis of Yongyi, the purpose of which was obvious.

Wang Gang still had no way to refuse, because the other party was the prince, and although he won the Juren, his status was too different from the other party's.

Even his father, Sheng Hong, has no ability to refuse King Yong.

Besides, Qi Guogong let Qi Heng come over, just to show his attitude, he didn't want to offend King Yong.

Wang Gang had to go to the banquet.

The venue for the banquet was in the highest room of Fan Tower, and Qi Heng was not qualified to go in. After bringing Wang Gang, he returned to the Duke's Mansion.

After Wang Gang entered the room, he found that no one had arrived.

He was not in a hurry, and sat on the side waiting.

The first to come was Gu Tingye's father, Gu Yankai.

Wang Gang has met Gu Yankai a few times, and the relationship is pretty good.

As soon as Gu Yankai arrived, Wang Gang took the initiative to say hello and called his uncle.

Not calling Lord Hou also indicated his relationship with Gu Yankai.

"Nephew, King Yong is hosting a banquet this time, it will definitely not be a good one, you have to be careful." Gu Yankai kindly reminded.

"Thank you uncle for reminding me, I know it well." Wang Gang said calmly.

Seeing Wang Gang's appearance, Gu Yankai didn't persuade him anymore. After a few years of contact, Gu Yankai also knew that this nephew in front of him was not simple.

Even if ordinary people have the support of the two major Marquis Mansions and the Duke's Mansion, it is still difficult for them to expand their business so much, and even go overseas. This is not something ordinary people can do.

This is also the reason why even though Wang Gang is young, Gu Yankai treats him like a nephew.

After Gu Yankai came the Marquis of Yongyi.

This Lord Hou has a closer relationship with the Sheng family, but has no blood relationship with Wang Gang.

The old lady Sheng is only Sheng Hong's aunt, but the Yongyihou's mansion is the old lady's natal family after all, and this generation of Yongyihou has to call the old lady an aunt regardless of their seniority.

Like Gu Yankai, Yong Yihou was very friendly towards Wang Gang, and said that he would cover Wang Gang so that he would not be afraid of King Yong.

But in fact, Hou Yongyi has long since lost his previous glory in this generation, and he is far from being able to compare with the prosperous King Yong.

Wang Gang also knew in his heart that what Hou Yongyi said was just polite words, and that King Yong was really in trouble, and he had nothing to do.

The last one to arrive was Qi Guogong, who came with King Yong.

King Yong is a very attractive middle-aged man, and he has a kind of nobility and arrogance in him because he has been in a high position all the year round.

When he saw Yongyihou and Ningyuanhou, he just nodded and said hello. As for Wang Gang, the new Xieyuan, he was directly ignored.

King Yong was seated first, followed by others, and Wang Gang was the last to sit down.

"My king is inviting you all to a banquet today for one thing only. I want the business of glass bottles and toilet water."

King Yong went straight to the point when he came up, didn't even say a word of nonsense, and his tone was extremely domineering.

Qi Guogong and the two great princes both looked unhappy.

Only Wang Gang remained calm, he had expected everything before coming here today.

"This king is not a person who buys and sells by force. I will compensate you for your losses." King Yong glanced around coldly, and finally fixed his gaze on Wang Gang's face.

"Of course you can refuse, but if you refuse, you will be the king's enemy."

Qi Guogong and the two Hou Ye were startled when they heard the words. They didn't expect King Yong to be so domineering and unreasonable. After all, they are the top dignitaries in Bianjing City, don't they want to lose face?

King Yong was extremely pleased when he saw that no one farted, until Wang Gang suddenly burst out laughing.

"Haha, I thought King Yong was a hero, but I didn't expect to see him today. It's really disappointing." Wang Gang smiled unscrupulously.

King Yong's face darkened, the air in the room began to turn cold, and black shadows flickered outside the room, it seemed that the guards brought by King Yong wanted to act.

"You little bastard dares to speak nonsense in front of this king, who gave you the courage." King Yong snorted coldly.

Wang Gang stopped laughing, disdain appeared on his face, and he looked at King Yong with disappointment in his eyes.

"My lord knows that you are not far from death."

King Yong frowned, his right hand was already slowly stretching towards the teacup on the table, as soon as the teacup fell to the ground, more than a dozen masters from the palace outside the house would rush in and chop Wang Gang into pieces.

Gu Yankai was already sweating profusely.

"Nephew Sheng Xian, stop talking nonsense."

Gu Yankai wanted to apologize to King Yong for Wang Gang, but Wang Gang laughed again.

"Does the prince know that your old opponent has already bought the commander of the imperial army?"

King Yong exclaimed, "What did you say?"

Wang Gang took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and threw it in front of King Yong.

King Yong picked up the paper suspiciously and looked at it, and a strange expression appeared on his face the next moment.

A lot of words were written on the paper. It was King Yan's appointment with the commander of the imperial army, the time and place of the secret meeting between the two, and even the content of the conversation between the two was recorded word by word.

King Yong didn't know whether what was written on the paper was true or not.

"You think you can fool me with this torn piece of paper." King Yong said angrily as he slapped the table.

Wang Gang sneered and said, "Of course the lord won't believe in the kid, but do you know this thing?"

I saw Wang Gang throwing another thing on the table.

This time King Yong stood up directly.

"You dare to threaten the king!"

On the table was a silver bracelet, Qi Guogong and the others didn't recognize it, but King Yong knew it clearly, it was the bracelet he gave to his illegitimate son born in his outer room.

King Yong hid a woman and an illegitimate child outside the city of Bianjing. Only few people knew about it, not even the princess.

Wang Gang said: "Don't worry, my lord, your illegitimate child is safe now, I just let someone steal this silver bracelet."

King Yong's face was gloomy and terrifying. The guards of the palace outside the house had already rushed in, but the next moment, a group of men in black suddenly appeared from behind the guards, and then the shining steel knives pierced through the body of the guards.

Everyone was shocked, and they all hid in the corner. King Yong is worthy of being a hero, and he remained calm in the face of such a change, not retreating a single step.

After all the guards died, the group of men in black bowed to Wang Gang, and then left the room without hurting King Yong.

Wang Gang sat there and poured himself a cup of tea.

King Yong sat down slowly, staring at Wang Gang's face.

"I have to admit that I underestimated you."

Wang Gang laughed and said, "If I don't have any skills, how dare I come to see the prince!"

King Yong said viciously: "You killed my king's people."

Wang Gang didn't care and said, "I just want to prove my strength to the prince."

King Yong's face was sullen, and Wang Gang continued: "My lord, do you know that King Yong has colluded with the commander of the imperial army and Concubine Rong, and when the time comes, he will be able to control the entire capital."

"King Yan doesn't have the guts to rebel." King Yong said firmly.

Wang Gang shook his head and said: "King Yan has no choice but to rebel. The throne is not destined for him. There is still a chance of rebellion. If it is the prince, how should he choose?"

King Yong was surprised and said: "What do you mean by this? The official family has not established a prince yet, so why does King Yan have no chance?"

Wang Gang explained: "The only son of the official family is newly mourned, and he has no children under his knees. In addition, he is old and weak, so it is impossible to have any more children, but he has not changed you or King Yan for a long time. Doesn't the lord understand the thoughts of the official family? ?"

King Yong said disdainfully: "You are a little bastard, but you dare to discuss the important matter of the imperial court's establishment of the crown prince, how courageous you are."

The corner of Wang Gang's mouth curled up, and he said with an evil smile: "I am not only courageous, but also capable.

I also know that today's officials have already established a will, and the crown prince is not you or King Yan. "

"Impossible." King Yong couldn't sit still any longer.

"My lord, think about it carefully. If the officials really want to choose you or King Yan as the heir apparent, why have they waited for more than ten years and have not established a heir? You have been fighting with King Yan for so many years, why have the officials tolerated it until now?"

King Yong's face changed unsteadily, as if Wang Gang was talking about the central matter.

In fact, King Yong and King Yan have been fighting for the crown prince for so many years, and they have more or less realized in their hearts that they are not ideal candidates for the crown prince.

That's why in these years King Yong and King Yan recruited troops, wooed courtiers, and even robbed Wang Gang's business regardless of face.

But until the last moment, King Yong always had a glimmer of fantasy.

"Now that King Yan has controlled the imperial army, does the lord still want to sit and wait for death?" Wang Gang stood up and said loudly to King Yong.

"Shut up, this king won't believe your words." King Yong shouted loudly.

Wang Gang shook his head and sighed: "It seems that the prince is not the enlightened master I am looking for, do I want to meet King Yan?"

King Yong narrowed his eyes, and said in disbelief: "You want to join me."

Wang Gang nodded and said: "That's right, I originally wanted to cooperate with the prince to prevent King Yan's conspiracy, but now it seems that the prince doesn't have that courage."

King Yong frowned and said: "You are a bastard, although you are good at business, what can you do for me?"

Wang Gang said: "I can give the prince a white hat."

King Yong immediately thought that King Baijia was a character of emperor.
