After chatting for a while, the emperor directly waved Huang Fei away.
Originally, he wanted to take this opportunity to ask for information about Mu Ziqing, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that the family scandal should not be made public as much as possible, so he reluctantly gave up.
Now that everything is done, what's the difference between asking and not asking?
In comparison, it is better not to ask.
However, before leaving, Huang Fei suddenly fell to the ground and said: His amnesia has become more and more serious recently, and I'm afraid I won't be able to worry about you anymore. Therefore, I sincerely request your Majesty to allow him to serve in Qiongzhou and enjoy his old age.
The more forgetful you become~~
Oh well!
Since you claim to have forgotten it, what else do I have to worry about?
Yes, you are!
Moreover, the mountains in Nanyang are high and the emperor is far away, and it is almost the same as the frontier. If you die there, it can be regarded as a good death in a timely manner.
The monarch and his ministers had a tacit understanding of each other. One person agreed and the other thanked him, and the favor transaction was quickly concluded.
After Huang Fei left, the emperor began to think about it alone.
Qi Aiqing, is he really as vindictive as he said?
If that's the case, Qi Xiao shouldn't be too harsh on this matter. If the relationship between them deteriorates, wouldn't it become a cold face later?
Alas, what should we do?
For a moment, the emperor seemed a little undecided.
After less than half an hour, he made up his mind.
Because, he just got a piece of evidence, which can basically make a conclusion for Qi Yu's theory of holding a grudge.
oh? What kind of evidence is it?
Without him, it is just a memorial from Qi Yu.
He said in the book that the lost jade seal of the country has been found, which can be regarded as a successful completion of the three-year agreement promised during the work report. However, it is a pity that during the snatching process, the old monk holding the treasure escaped...
This was a good thing, but the emperor was not happy.
There are two reasons.
First of all, although Qi Yu happily expressed his joy of finding the jade seal, he did not mention handing it over at all.
This shows what?
It shows that he deliberately wanted to hold this treasure as a threat. The purpose, of course, is to use it in exchange for his wife and children who stayed in Beijing. Looking at it this way, he did remember this grudge, otherwise, he wouldn't act like this.
Secondly, he also clearly hinted in the article that Emperor Jianwu and others are still alive in the world. This matter is a bit embarrassing.
You must know that he is the legitimate successor. If he does not die, his status will be threatened.
Threatening!
With the above two things in mind, it's strange to feel better.
Forget it, these all need to be considered in the long term, so let’s focus on the present first.
Since Qi Yu used the jade seal as a threat, he had to make appropriate adjustments. If he really pissed him off, the consequences would be disastrous.
Not to mention anything else, he only needs to reveal this secret, which is enough for him to drink a pot.
Therefore, harmony is more valuable.
Invisibly, the relationship between the two has undergone subtle changes.
The emperor held Qi Yu's seven inches, while Qi Yu also held the emperor's weak point, and the two became balanced.
The result of balance is peace, and breaking the balance means both sides suffer.
Anyone who is not a fool knows what to do.
Taking this as a lesson, Qi Xiao's handling of this matter has principles to follow.
…
The next day, the weather was fine.
The morning light from the east shines on the earth, and the years are perfect.
The emperor, who had not slept a wink all night, dressed in his best attire and summoned his ministers in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
where? Hall of Supreme Harmony?
When the ministers heard this, they were all stunned.
According to the ancestral system, the Hall of Supreme Harmony is a place only used when grand ceremonies are held. For example, the emperor ascends the throne, the emperor gets married, the queen is appointed, the generals go to war, etc. In addition, there are three major festivals every year: Wanshou Festival, Winter Solstice, and Zhengdan. On weekdays, this hall is completely closed.
Today is not a festive day, why would Your Majesty choose to attend court here?
But the emperor deliberately kept it a secret and waited until the ministers were all itchy before he explained with a smile.
"Today is indeed a rare and happy day, so I chose to solemnly announce it in the Hall of Supreme Harmony."
"Oh? I wonder where the joy comes from?"
"Do you know, gentlemen, that our naval construction in Dafeng Dynasty has achieved a major breakthrough in a practical sense?"
"Ah~~?"
The emperor satisfactorily suppressed the curiosity of the ministers and began to introduce them slowly.
According to his explanation, Da Fengguo has made leaps and bounds in the manufacturing of warships.
Oh, it turns out to be the military industry!
Yes!
The emperor emphasized that the person who created this feat was none other than Prince Bucai Li Hongyu. Oh, Qi Yu's son Qi Xiao also helped out and played a small role.
At this point, the ministers suddenly realized.
I had heard someone say before that the prince was having sex with Qi Yu's son Qi Xiao recently.
Jointly building a small and miniature warship model, this is definitely what His Majesty refers to as military industry.
What a guess!
However, is that small boat really as powerful as His Majesty praised it?
have!
Before that, the emperor specially found a master craftsman to observe and asked him to point out the shortcomings. However, people reported that despite the small size of this ship, its manufacturing level was extremely ingenious, especially the thing called a steam engine, which directly replaced the traditional sail!
In addition, he also suggested that if it is used as a template for grading, a truly practical imperial warship can be built.
This boat is worth tens of millions of gold!
Upon hearing this, the emperor immediately became happy.
He never dreamed that this seemingly inconspicuous boat could be of such value.
Hongyu, you have really made a great contribution.
Well, Xiao Qi Xiao also did a good job!
Thinking of this, the emperor suddenly came up with a plan: Why not use this excuse to excuse the two of them? If it is done in this way, it can be regarded as finding a step for Qi Yu.
good!
In this way, the emperor turned hostility into friendship and resolved the storm very skillfully.
In order to show the emperor's great kindness, he also specially made rewards based on merit.
Everyone knows that among many achievements, military merit is the greatest.
However, the prince Li Hongyu won this honor before even leaving the palace. What does this mean?
It shows that his civil and military abilities are quite powerful.
How could such a handsome man not be the future heir apparent?
It seemed that in a matter of seconds, his reputation had risen, and in the eyes of some discerning people, he was already close to the throne of the prince.
Li Hongyu himself never expected that this prank would actually be a blessing in disguise.
Sure enough, only by following the big brother can you get a bright future. From now on, I have to hug this thigh even tighter...
Li Hongyu unexpectedly gained reputation points, and Qi Xiao was also unambiguous.
After some hype without paying taxes, his military achievements were rumored to be miraculous, as if he was a rare national master in the world.
Everything is beautiful, but there is a slight flaw.
what is it then?
Because the mini battleship was named 'Emperor', it quickly gained the favor of the Holy Emperor.
However, because it is too small and lacks momentum when riding on it, it seems to be a fly in the ointment.
Alas, this emperor's number is not big at all!
