After the episode of Xiao Zhi's mistakes subsided, the palace banquet went on as usual.

After a round of dancing music, the banquet was quiet.

It was customary for the emperor to make a toast in person at this time.

The emperor first toasted the Empress Dowager, and then drank with the Empress.

For the third glass of wine, he toasted Mrs. Shao.

Mrs. Shao's eyes were full of tears, and she raised her glass to thank the emperor for his grace.

The emperor also looked very moved, he drank the wine in the cup, and earnestly instructed Shao Beicheng: "Don't forget the legacy of your ancestors, don't live up to my high hopes!" ”

Shao Beicheng was solemn.

The officials exchanged glances in silence.

The Lantern Festival Palace Banquet is a rare time of the year when the emperor and his ministers feast and drink together, and the emperor at the palace banquet is more friendly and humane than the emperor of the Xuanzheng Palace.

And every glass of wine and every word the emperor said at the palace banquet is worthy of scrutiny.

In the past, when the old grandfather Dingguo was alive, although the Shao family had great military achievements, the emperor always respected the grandfather of Rongguo in this third cup of wine.

Although the ancestors of the Jiang family also had immortal military exploits, in the years after the opening of the dynasty, the descendants of the Jiang family lay on the merits of their ancestors, did not want to forge ahead, did not do their jobs, specialized in studying power, befriending the powerful, seeing the wind and making rudders, and bending to meet each other.

Such a family......

However, it is one of the only two remaining national mansions.

On the contrary, he was able to cross the Shao family and be toasted by the emperor first.

At that time, the emperor's actions were intended to warn the ministers to remember their duties and not to be arrogant!

It is the Jiang family that is unbearable, and the Shao family who work hard again......

But as long as the emperor has the heart to raise it, the Jiang family can easily pass the Shao family.

The Shao family is full, and there can be no dissatisfaction.

Otherwise, it would be disrespectful.

But this year, things have changed.

The generals of the Shao family were almost all killed and wounded, and the Shao family was left with only a young man and a family full of women and children, and this young man carried the emperor's lifelong expectations.

The Jiang family produced a noble princess Chen.

In such a situation, it is easy to understand that the emperor first toasted Mrs. Shao.

In the fourth glass of wine, the emperor saluted Grandpa Rongguo.

The fifth glass of wine toasted Xiao Shoufu.

The Son of Heaven must not lose his temper after drinking, so in previous years, the sixth cup of wine emperor was to pay tribute to the ministers.

The sixth and last glass of wine was toasted by the Emperor himself.

But this year, after the emperor took the golden cup in the hands of the internal officials, he did not look at the ministers under the seat, but raised his glass to look at the Marquis of Jinghai.

The emperor looked at Jinghaihou with complicated eyes for a while, and then said slowly: "The sea breeze is rough, the sea is vicious, I will give my uncle a cup for the people along the coast!" ”

The emperor is not called "Hou Ye", nor "General", but "Uncle"!

Jing Haihou's eyes turned red immediately.

Qi Xiao's case is a big one......

So much so that he had to go back to Beijing to deal with it in person.

Qi Xiao made a great contribution, he did not reward him according to the agreement, and framed him to go to prison, it was indeed his fault.

However, there is something wrong with Qi Xiao!

A stunned young man who doesn't know how to lift up, he is arrogant after a few victories, and he doesn't even pay attention to him!

refuses to marry the young lady of the Ma family, saying that she wants to marry a drama!

Oh, play!

He Qi Xiao likes opera, and when he develops in the future, it doesn't hurt to raise a troupe!

The so-called marriage contract is just Qi Xiao's excuse......

Qi Xiao's real intention was to humiliate him!

Use his Qi Xiao's love and righteousness to contrast his ruthlessness and righteousness!

After all, many people in Fujian and Zhejiang know that there is an Aunt Ding who is the first to enter the door and a Mrs. Gan who is the last to enter the door in the Jinghai Hou Mansion......

How could he endure such a humiliation?!

What's more, no matter how great Qi Xiao has made military achievements, he is still a soldier under him!

He punished Qi Xiao, reasonable and legal!

On the contrary, Liu Jinci's drama was full of branches, making such an insignificant trivial matter into an uproar, and it also alarmed the heavens!

But, what if it gets big?

He is the Marquis of Jinghai, the uncle of the Son of Heaven!

With heavy troops in hand, there are the Ma family, the British king and the queen mother behind them!

He thought that as long as he personally revealed the inside story to the emperor, whether it was in the face of the Queen Mother or for the sake of his past achievements, the emperor would definitely support him!

Take 10,000 steps back, even if the emperor doesn't miss the old feelings......

He also had to take into account the southeast coastal defense......

On the way back to Beijing, Jinghaihou thought so.

But after returning to Beijing, the emperor's attitude made him a little incomprehensible......

He handed over several folds, but the emperor never summoned him privately.

There are some things that are inconvenient to say in public at the court meeting......

He had to ask the Queen Mother to help.

Ke'er couldn't help it, the queen mother failed to persuade the emperor, and reminded him that the emperor was really angry this time, and vaguely mentioned the death of the prince in the first half of the year.

At this point, he understood.

The emperor was angry, not because of the insignificant Qi Xiao, but because of the prince who died of illness!

In the death of the crown prince, he did lose ......

Far more than a few night pearls......

If the emperor knows the truth, the entire Ma family will face a catastrophe!

Of course, the crown prince is gone, and the emperor will never know the truth......

As for this time......

After pondering for a few days, Jinghaihou finally made up his mind: survive with a broken arm!

Compared with the great cause of the British king, the military power and the throne are not a pity!

But, after all, it is his hard work and reliance, let it go, he is unwilling in the end!

But tonight, the emperor called him "uncle......

Although he killed the crown prince, although he was involved in a big case......

In front of people, the emperor still gave him this dignity!

Jinghai Hou made up his mind, strode away from the table, and after solemnly kneeling down to thank him, he took out the tiger talisman from his arms, presented it to the emperor with both hands, and said: "The guilty minister is ashamed of the grace of heaven, and he is not enough to bear this heavy responsibility. ”

Everyone looked at Jinghaihou in shock!

Real military power, a profitable maritime business......

I handed it over like that!

The eyes of the crowd changed and changed.

First of all, is Jinghaihou's move sincere or false?

After all, even if Qi Xiao's case is confirmed, he may not be removed from office by seizing power!

Secondly, if the Marquis of Jinghai offers the tiger talisman, will the emperor accept it?

Finally, if the emperor picks up......

So, next, who will he give this tiger talisman to?

Under the scorching gaze of everyone, it took a long time for the emperor to signal the internal official to take the tiger talisman in the hand of Jinghai Hou.

The tiger talisman left his hand, and Jinghaihou's body shook slightly, and it was difficult to hide the loss.

The emperor carefully looked at the tiger talisman in his hand for a while, got up and left the table, personally helped up Jinghaihou, looked at him and said: "I have also heard of the recent public case, my uncle is indeed wrong, but who can not make a mistake in his life?" ”

Speaking of this, the emperor looked at King Duan.

It means that Qi Xiao's case is decided.

Then, the emperor continued to say to the Marquis of Jinghai: "I still remember that you joined the southeast and left Beijing in the prime of life, and when you returned today, you were as dusty as frost......

"I am grateful for your efforts to protect the people in Dinghai, and I can't bear to work hard in your twilight years, so I think twice and take back the talisman."

Jinghaihou knelt down again to thank him.

Whether these words are true or not......

In the end, the emperor can treat him like this, it is already benevolent and righteous!

The emperor still felt that it was not enough, he asked Jinghai Hou: "There is a way that the tiger father has no dog son, I remember that my uncle has four sons, but I don't know which one is more like you back then?" ”

Everyone's eyes changed again.

Tiger father has no dog!

Does the emperor mean that he wants to give the military power of the southeast to the son of the Marquis of Jinghai?!
