Jiang Tong paused for a while, letting everyone digest the news announced earlier, and then beckoned to Ding Kui and said, "Kui'er come here."

Ding Kui was not surprised when he heard his grandfather talk about the process, and walked quickly onto the high platform and stood straight in front of Jiang Tong.

Jiang Tong stretched out a palm and pressed it on the top of Ding Kui's head, only to see that red light continued to pour out of Jiang Tong's palm, flowing down Ding Kui's body, wrapping Ding Kui's body, until Ding Kui's feet, the red light wrapped Ding Kui's whole person.

The red light kept rolling on Ding Kui's body, but the speed gradually slowed down, and finally formed a full-body armor. After the armor was fully formed, Jiang Tong removed his palm.

Ding Kui felt warm all over his body, but there was nothing unusual other than that, after his grandfather's hand was removed, the armor on his body did not disappear and still existed.

Jiang Tong waved his hand at Jiang Li, Jiang Li stood up with a long sword in his hand, and slashed at Ding Kui in the air, and a sword shot out.

"Bang" The sword shot into Ding Kui's body and scattered, Ding Kui took a step back, unloading the strength attached to the sword. The Dou Qi armor on his body was still condensed, and there was no sign of collapse.

The masters present nodded one after another.

This is a demonstration that announces Jiang Tong's entry into the ranks of legendary knights in the most direct way.

Douqi armor is the symbol of a fearless knight, but that can only be put on for oneself; Douqi transformation is the symbol of the dominant knight, but it can only be transformed into a specific shape, not everything can be changed; putting on the armor of fighting qi for others, at least a legendary knight can do it.

Legendary knights can't easily display the special form of Dou Qi, and they can't attack people at will, but it's okay to put a Fighting Qi armor on other people, and it can distinguish the dominant knight.

"Papapapa" Shaodian Dan took the lead in applauding, and other court bigwigs applauded one after another.

Jiang Tong came to Ding Kui's side, stretched out his palm again and pressed it on the top of Ding Kui's head, and after a while, he sucked away the Douqi armor, and the demonstration of the "Promotion Ceremony" came to an end.

Everyone waited for Jiang Tong to announce that he would step down from the position of patriarch and hand it over to one of his sons, but he did not do so.

"The banquet begins! Jiang Fu prepared a thin banquet to entertain everyone, and also invited the most famous servants in the capital to perform, and everyone watched and ate. Jiang Li stood up and announced.

It seems that Jiang Tong does not want to step down as the patriarch for the time being, of course, this is not an unacceptable thing, the seventh-level combat power is not attached to the rights of the world, and is bent on chasing a higher realm, but will do his part for the family.

In the practice of the Shaodian Kingdom, there are many people who continue to serve as the patriarch for a few years after being promoted to the legendary knight, and they all have to integrate the family and choose to abdicate without any worries.

At the banquet, Shao Dian Dan did not show any more interest in Ding Kui, so that the guests present felt strange and couldn't figure out what this king thought.

It stands to reason that the confidants and ministers who have just finished the reward will definitely chat a few words at the banquet, and it is really rare to have no intersection like this.

In fact, Shaodian Dan himself was quite entangled in his heart, and after returning from Shaodian Huan, he was shocked and uncertain, and deliberately went to check the royal classics. He found a very peculiar result, most of the princesses who have always married into the Ding family have given birth to daughters, and only one princess has given birth to a son.

This confirms Shaodianhuan's words, the Shaodian royal family intends to control the population of the Ding family, and now Shaodian Dan began to believe in the sentence "Shaodian Country cannot do without the Ding family, but those who die Shaodian must be Ding".

Although he didn't instruct Ding Dao to die, he didn't strictly prohibit it, and Ding Dao died in front of him. He didn't know what the Ding family would think, but Ding Qi never returned to Zhenjing, so it didn't seem to be very good.

Shaodian Dan doesn't expect that he can resolve the hatred of the Ding family, he can only hope that the descendants of the two families can get back together, at least let the Ding family have a queen. The ten palace shows who rewarded Ding Kui today were mixed with his own thoughts.

The medicine for having a son in this world is not 100% effective, and it varies from person to person, but marrying a few more daughters-in-law and having more children is still the most effective method in this world.

The "Promotion Ceremony" ended with the end of the banquet. Shaodian Dan left the table early in the middle of the banquet, and having him would make these old ministers uncomfortable. After fifteen years of reign, the young Diandan had not yet integrated into the older generation of ministers, and except for those he had promoted, the others only showed respect on the face, and none of them had sworn allegiance in private.

After the king left, the other dukes secretly wanted to inquire who the next head of the Jiang family was. Don't look at the fact that the Jiang family has no heirs, as long as Jiang Tong does not fall, there is a possibility that an heir will suddenly emerge in the Jiang family. Jiang Li and Jiang Xi can adopt a collateral junior, and they can claim that they are illegitimate children.

Jiang Tong's answer was very vague, refusing to show the slightest tone, and after the ceremony, the nine families of the ten dukes went back with questions.

"Ding Qi, I didn't eat just now, let's have two drinks. Jiang Li caught Ding Qi, who had been depressed for a long time.

"Ah, eldest brother, the younger brother hasn't congratulated the eldest brother on being appointed as the third elder of the Senate. Come on, come on, this cup is a little brother to you. Ding Qi came to his senses.

"Okay, now that everyone is gone, you can relax. The ceremony is over, what are your plans after that?" Jiang Li raised his wine glass, touched his lips and put it down.

"Don't hide it from the eldest brother, next I want to find out which people in Cao Guo participated in the attack that year, and who participated in the plot, and the blood feud of hundreds of people in the Ding family must be protected. Ding shook his head and poured two more glasses of wine.

"This matter is incumbent on the Jiang family, what do you need to help you to speak, even if you let the second brother plan a national war, it is also right. ”

"Recently, I sent General Shi to Cao Guo, and our actions here will affect his actions. ”

"Well, this matter is up to you, and we'll try our best to cooperate. Have you ever thought about Kui'er's future?"

Ding Qi was stunned, he didn't expect Jiang Li to ask this, "Kui'er's future?" It depends on him, he will let him take whatever path he wants. ”

"You should know that the king asked Ding Kui to serve as the right protector of the Internal Security Division, I'm afraid that if he doesn't plan to enter the military, it will be difficult for someone from the clan mansion to take charge of the army alone. ”

"Shaodian Dan is uneasy and kind, what does it mean to reward Kui'er with ten palace shows? It doesn't mean that he wants Kui'er to indulge too much when he is young and affect his foundation, right?" Ding Qi said hatefully.

"Not really, after all, Kui'er has us old guys watching, and he will never let him do such indulgent things.

What I mean is that Kui'er will not develop in the military in the future, he can go to other places, such as the Senate, if Kui'er is passed on to me, he will be the third elder of the Yuanyuan in the future. Jiang Li had been observing Ding Qi's expression.

Ding Qi stood up with a sigh of "Huo" and said excitedly: "No, absolutely not! Kui'er is my only bloodline, and she is the future master of the Ding family, how can I pass on to you." ”

"You should know about Jiang Qi, he was originally the only heir of the Jiang family, but now, hey. I'm embarrassed to talk to you about this, after all, Kui'er has half of the Jiang family's bloodline, and he will be the head of the Jiang family and the Duke of An Guo of the kingdom in the future. If you think about him, wouldn't that be a bad thing?"

"I'm not worried that the eldest brother will treat Kui'er badly, he wants to pass on to you, who will continue the incense of the Ding family? Who will succeed the Marquis of the country?" If someone else told Ding Qi about this, it is estimated that he would have smashed it with a punch.

"You are still young now, unlike me and my second brother who are old, it is possible to find a few more women from good families and continue the incense for the Ding family. Our two families have been friends for so many years, do you want to see the Jiang family's inheritance severed?" Jiang Li's gentle attitude contrasted sharply with the excited Ding Qi.

"After I was struck by lightning last time, I went to the medical officer to check on me, and the medical officer said that I would not be able to have children in the future. I didn't want to talk about it, but I have to say it when you mentioned Kui'er's adoption.

The Ding family has been passed down for several generations, and most of the children of the side disciples died in the Hundred Years War, and there is no one to take over the family inheritance except Kui'er. The Jiang family is a wealthy family, and excellent side disciples abound, so why don't you worry about finding someone to succeed. Ding Qi's face was open.

"Will Kui'er be able to take over the inheritance of the Ding family? Shaodian Dan will give you a chance? After Kui'er succeeds me, as long as his first son is surnamed Jiang, the second son can be surnamed Ding. You're still young anyway, it's not a big problem to last for a few decades, and it's the same to wait for your grandson to inherit the protector. Jiang Li said a compromise solution.

At this time, Ding Qi calmed down, and he asked, "Is this what your father-in-law meant?"

"He knew about it. Of course, Jiang Li wouldn't say who it meant.

"No wonder his old man wants to see Kui'er in Yao'er's former residence, no wonder he wants to keep Kui'er in Jiang's mansion. Although this is what his old man meant, I am also forgiving, and I can do whatever I want, but this is absolutely impossible. Ding Qi said it categorically.

Seeing Ding Qi's attitude so resolute, Jiang Li was inconvenient to be too persecutive, and said: "I may have said this too suddenly, and it will be difficult for you to accept it for a while, you can think about it again." My father is still the head of the Jiang family, and he is waiting to determine who will inherit him in the future, Kui'er can not pass on to me, as long as he changes his surname to Jiang, he is the future master of the Jiang family. ”

"This matter is like this, and it is inconvenient for me to delay this matter, so I will leave. I also asked the eldest brother to call Kui'er. "Don't speculate, Ding Qi doesn't want to talk about it anymore.

"Kui'er is at my father's place, if you want to find him, you can go by yourself. Jiang Li smiled slightly, at this time, he couldn't let Ding Qi take Ding Kui away.

"Okay, let Kui'er stay a few more days, do your filial piety in front of his grandfather, and I'll pick him up in a few days." Ding Qi shook his hand and left angrily, asking him to take Ding Kui in front of Jiang Tong, and he didn't dare to do it if he had ten dares.

"Alas. Jiang Li sighed at Ding Qi's back, "It's not so easy for anyone to make a decision on this matter, it's hard for him." I can only tell my father and let him decide what to do. ”
