Give the military power of the southeast to the son of the Marquis of Jinghai......

The crowd quickly understood what the emperor meant.

Rights and responsibilities are interdependent.

Only those who have the ability to repel the Japanese and hold the sea line are qualified to have heavy troops and enjoy wealth!

Qi Xiao's case has aroused public opinion, and in this public case, Jinghaihou is indeed unreasonable.

In order to block the mouth of Youyou, the emperor had to punish the Marquis of Jinghai......

But after the punishment of Jinghai Hou, what should be done about the coastal defense of Fujian and Zhejiang?

Jinghaihou has been operating in Fujian and Zhejiang for several years, with his back to the Gan family, that is, he let go, who dares to take it rashly?

Only the son of the Marquis of Jinghai!

The only person who succeeded to the throne was the son of the Marquis of Jinghai......

Only then will the Marquis of Jinghai be convinced, and his old army, local officials and gentry in Fujian and Zhejiang, and the Gan family will not cause trouble.

There is no more secure candidate......

Everyone waited for Jinghaihou to answer.

The family affairs of the Marquis of Jinghai have all been heard of by the high families in Beijing......

It is also an ancient anecdote to say, the wife who entered the door became a concubine for no reason, but the little woman who entered the door later became Mrs. Hou!

The eldest son became a concubine, but the youngest became a concubine and a son!

To say that Jinghaihou has no affection for the Ding family, but for so many years, he has personally taken the two sons born to the Ding family with him and cultivated them carefully, but he does not attach much importance to and is close to the son-in-law born to the Gan family.

So this time, which son will he choose?

Jinghaihou knelt on the ground and was silent for a long time.

Ma Shizi stared at his father nervously, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

Mrs. Gan looked at Jinghaihou with a sneer on the corner of her mouth.

The answer couldn't be more obvious......

It is justified that his son-in-law will succeed him, but if he is determined to choose his son-in-law, why hesitate?

In the end, I still can't let go of Ding's son......

Mrs. Gan's eyes lit up.

Back then, when he came to the door to ask to marry her, how nice he said......

What fell in love with her at first sight and was unforgettable, what was blind marriage with the original wife, and the temperament was not cast, what life will not live up to her......

She married him with a load of real money and rare treasures, supported the Jinghai Hou Mansion, was poked in the backbone for a lifetime, and was widowed for almost half her life......

She can have today's honor and dignity as a mere merchant girl, and the world will probably think that she has a good marriage......

Oh, what a "good" marriage......

Mrs. Gan blinked.

At this time, Jinghai Hou spoke: "The sin minister bows to thank the saint for raising love and inciting feelings, the minister has four sons, the eldest son has been stationed in the southeast with the minister since he was a child, and he is brave and good at fighting......."

Eldest son......

Ma Shizi's face turned pale.

The king glanced at Ma Shizi and looked at his maternal grandfather, Xu Changbo.

Xu Changbo immediately understood.

The matter of choosing a son to succeed to the throne is, in the final analysis, a family affair of Jinghai Hou, and the eldest son of Jing Hai Hou is indeed more familiar with military affairs than the other three sons.

But Xu Changbo is different.

Since it's a family affair......

Xu Changbo is the eldest brother of Jinghai Hou, so he is naturally qualified to speak.

Xu Changbo pondered for a moment, got up and left the table, and first bowed to the emperor, and said, "I beg the Holy Lord to be gracious, and Rong Chen will say a few words!" ”

The Emperor agreed.

Xu Changbo said to Jinghai Hou: "Ninth brother, I haven't seen your eldest man for many years, but I think it's outstanding!" ”

"Your family, Saburo, but I grew up watching him!"

Xu Changbo praised him: "San Lang is sensitive and studious, humble and courteous, and everyone in Beijing knows it!" ”

"It is especially rare that he is a child of pure filial piety! Do you still remember the year of your mother's death, when you were far away in the southeast, and Saburo was only a five or six-year-old child, but he insisted on serving the sick at his mother's bed every night! ”

Uncle Xu Chang's eyes were meaningful: "If I remember correctly, Da Lang only returned to Beijing with you after his mother died......

"When Da Lang was young, his mother took care of him personally, but before his mother died, he didn't even see Da Lang's face, let alone serve tea and medicine......

Da Zhou Chongxiao, a person with a name of unfilial piety, no matter how outstanding he is, will be despised and despised by the world.

Jinghaihou was about to open his mouth to argue.

Xu Changbo didn't allow him to speak, he stretched out his hand and patted Jinghaihou's shoulder, and said earnestly: "Ninth brother, San Lang is a good boy!" ”

"Such a good child, he must not be wronged!"

"You took Da Lang with you since he was a child and practiced with the soldiers, but San Lang grew up in Beijing, Da Lang is brave and good at fighting, but it is not good to assert that San Lang has no generals!"

"It would be unfair to Saburo to let Da Lang succeed to the throne without giving Saburo a chance to experience!"

Unjust......

Many people at the banquet said yes, including the British king's henchmen and neutral ministers.

The son who is personally trained by his father is naturally more capable than the son who stays at home, but if the father chooses the son who succeeds only on this basis, it will be unfair to the son who stays at home.

Because, the son who stayed at home had no opportunity to practice his skills and show his talents.

Only ask about ability and not about grandeur and character......

This is not the style of the Great Zhou people, but the practice of vulgar barbarians.

Rong Yu looked at this play seriously.

If she hadn't lived for more than ten years, she would probably have felt that this was just an ordinary battle for succession.

will also feel that the emperor treats the Ma family very leniently, not only giving the military power of the southeast to the son of the Marquis of Jinghai, but also tolerating the Ma family fighting in front of the emperor.

But she knew what happened later, and she knew what the emperor really thought about the Ma family.

The emperor hated the Ma family......

In the end, Qi Xiao took over the military power of Fujian and Zhejiang.

In her previous life, she did not participate in today's palace banquet, because it was related to military affairs, and she was not easy to listen rashly later, so it was not clear how the emperor took back the military power from the Marquis of Jinghai and gave it to Qi Xiao.

She also guessed that perhaps it was the special envoy who went to the southeast to investigate the case and found a lot of criminal evidence, and the emperor used those criminal evidence to force Jinghai Hou to release power.

But there is something wrong with that conjecture......

Because, if it is the evidence of Jinghaihou's crime......

So, if Jinghai Hou is not clean, how clean can his subordinates, the Gan family, and even the officials of Fujian and Zhejiang be?

Therefore, if the emperor used criminal evidence to force Jinghai Hou to release power......

Then after Qi Xiao takes over, the southeast will definitely not be peaceful.

Those who are held with incriminating evidence will not sit idly by.

But in fact, after Qi Xiao took over, there was no turmoil in Fujian and Zhejiang......

It wasn't until tonight that she finally saw the emperor's wrist.

The emperor promised to let the son of the Marquis of Jinghai succeed to the throne, and on the question of who would succeed him, the Marquis of Jinghai had a disagreement with the Ma family and the Gan family.

It is difficult to reach a conclusion on this disagreement in a short period of time, but the southeast cannot be left without a guard.

Then, at this time when there is no success, letting Qi Xiao take over has become an expedient measure acceptable to all parties.

After Qi Xiao took over......

For the people, they saw that the emperor did not show favoritism and held his uncle accountable!

For the southeast soldiers, I saw that the emperor knew people well, and the rewards and punishments were clear!

As for the Marquis of Jinghai, the Ma family, and the Gan family, they felt that Qi Xiao was just temporarily guarding the sea line, and after they agreed on the successor, they would take everything back from Qi Xiao.

But power, it's easy to give it away, but it's hard to take it back......

Because it was a family affair of the Ma family, the emperor asked the queen mother, and finally agreed that after Ma Shizi got married, he would go to the southeast army to train, and the successor would discuss again.

Ma Shizi thanked the emperor.

In the seventh cup of wine, the emperor saluted his ministers.

Seeing that the emperor seemed to be overwhelmed, the official whispered to the queen mother, and the queen mother drove back to the palace on the grounds of lack of health.

The emperor and concubines all got up and waited for the queen mother to return to the palace.

After the queen mother and the emperor walked away, everyone got up and left the table, toasted and chatted, and the scene immediately became lively.

Rong Yu walked towards the seat of the Shao family, the crowd was bustling, and when she got closer, she saw a very eye-catching person standing there.

Princess Zhaohuai.
