Night of the Divorce! A Proud Lady Was Forced to Marry the Emperor’s Uncle

  Chapter 64 Surrender the Soldiers

   "How come Mammy Xu only cooks for elder sister, so the rest of us have nothing to eat?"

  Jiang Sijin put a piece of pastry into his mouth, smiled and said to Nanny Xu.

   "You girl, it's heartless to say that. When did you miss your food?"

  When the old lady heard what Jiang Sijin said, she pretended to reproach her.

  The atmosphere at the entire dinner table was harmonious, and even Zhou Rongfang just ate with a dull head. But Jiang Hong's sudden utterance stunned many people at the table.

   "Mother, I am going to hand over the soldier talisman in my hand."

"What did you say?"

  The old lady subconsciously put down the tableware in her hand. Seeing the shocked expressions in everyone's eyes, she was sure that she had heard correctly. Looking at her eldest son, she whispered, "You want to hand over the military power?"

   "Yes, my son has already figured it out."

After briefly repeating all the thoughts that Jiang Peihuan said, Jiang Hong continued, "Our Jiang family is already in full swing in the army. If this continues, sooner or later the emperor will be dissatisfied. Taking advantage of this time, my son took the initiative to hand in the military talisman .”

   "Perhaps the emperor will feel at ease when he sees us surrendering military power on our own initiative."

   "Brother, our Jiang family are all military commanders. If we hand over the military talisman, our family will have no rights."

  Jiang Ren looked at Jiang Hong and whispered his thoughts.

  Hearing this, Jiang Hong nodded, "You are right." Then, he looked at Jiang Ren, "Third brother, what do you think?"

   "Brother, I agree with your decision."

"Whether it is military power or power, it belongs to the emperor. Our Jiang family is just a courtier. In the future, when the emperor orders us to need our Jiang family, we will regain our armor. If the emperor really cares about the Jiang family, we will be safe. day."

   "Now, the princes are all adults, and the military power is held by our Jiang family. Even if the emperor doesn't say it, our Jiang family will become a piece of fat in the eyes of the princes."

   "Brother, although I am a woman, I also know the principle of protecting children and grandchildren. If you hand over your military power, what will the next generation of our Jiang family do?"

   Regardless of Jiang Yuan's obstruction, Zhou Rongfang looked directly at Jiang Hong and said.

  Hearing Zhou Rongfang's words, the old lady frowned.

  The faces of the three Jiang family brothers did not look good either.

  At this time, Jiang Peihuan looked directly at Zhou Rongfang and said, "Second Aunt, Eldest Brother has been fighting with his father since he was a child. He is skilled in martial arts. As long as Eldest Brother works diligently, he will not worry about not being able to make contributions."

   "As for Songbai, he is still young, but he also knows how to study hard. In the future, whether he takes the imperial examination or goes to the battlefield with his third uncle will have his own destiny."

   "So, Second Aunt should believe that the Jiang family's children can break through the world even if they don't rely on their parents."

   "What Huan'er said is exactly what I want to say, father, you can make your own decisions in everything, and don't have to worry about your son. The son's future will be earned by his own hands."

   "Uncle, father, and me too. The eldest sister and daughter's family are all so proud, and Song Bai, as the son of the Jiang family, is even more so."

  Hearing a few people glance at you and say something, Zhou Rongfang's eyes were full of dissatisfaction. She wanted to speak, but Jiang Ruyun directly pulled her sleeve.

  Seeing this, she closed her mouth unwillingly.

  The old lady glanced at Zhou Rongfang coldly, then turned to Jiang Hong and said, "Since you have already made up your mind, I won't say anything else."

   "Compared to the safety of the Jiang family, nothing else is important."

   "Thank you, mother, for your understanding."

  Hearing what the old lady said, Jiang Hong said with red eyes.

  After dinner, Yan Lin.

   "Brother Hong, are you going to the palace now?"

   Xue Yan looked at the already dark sky, and couldn't help but look at Jiang Hong and said.

  Jiang Hong responded to her while putting on his official uniform, "Since it has been decided, in order to avoid complications, it is better to hand over the soldier talisman as soon as possible."

   "Okay, then you go early and come back early, I will wait for you at home."

   "Okay, I will hand over the soldier talisman to the emperor, and I will come back immediately."

   After saying this, Jiang Hong left the Jiang Mansion directly and rode to the palace.

  After the palace gate is locked, the ministers are not allowed to enter the palace, but Jiang Hong has a special status, and Emperor Qi Ming has long given him the privilege of entering and leaving the palace at any time.

  So Jiang Hong came to Qianqing Palace smoothly.

  Emperor Qi Ming was reviewing the memorial, but Wang Kun hurried to the table, "Your Majesty, the general is here."

   "Jiang Hong? What is he doing in the palace so late?"

   "Let him in."

   While speaking, Emperor Qi Ming had already looked at Wang Kun and spoke.

  Jiang Hong walked into the hall with his head bowed, and when he was three steps away from Emperor Qi Ming, he knelt down and saluted, "I see the emperor."

   "Jiang Aiqing, you came to the palace late at night, but do you have something important to tell me?"

   "Return to the emperor, I came here today to return the soldier talisman."

   While speaking, Jiang Hong took out a black token from his body and offered it with both hands.

  Hearing Jiang Hong's words and seeing the things in his hands, Emperor Qi Ming's eyes were full of surprise and a little bit of doubt.

Looking at the people kneeling on the ground, he said in a low voice, "You just came back from the northern border, why did you have to hand over the soldier talisman, you are the general king of my country of Qi, this soldier talisman is in your hands, it is the end of everything." Its use."

"Your Majesty, all the soldiers of Qi should obey your orders, and the ministers are also your soldiers. I took this soldier talisman from the emperor to fight for the northern border for the emperor. Now that the northern border has been recovered, this soldier talisman must naturally be returned. into the hands of the emperor."

   "In the future, when the emperor still needs his ministers to fight for the Qi State, it will be too late to bestow the military talisman on his ministers."

  Jiang Hong spoke sincerely. When Emperor Qi Ming looked down at him, he found that his temples had a little gray hair. Emperor Qi Ming remembered that Jiang Hong seemed to be a few years younger than him.

  Thinking of the dedication of the Jiang family for generations, Emperor Qi Ming's eyes became a little moved.

  Going forward, he helped Jiang Hong up with his own hands, "Since that's the case, I will accept this soldier talisman first, and I will also remember the Jiang family's contribution to Daqi in my heart."

   "Thank you, Your Majesty."

  Watching Emperor Qi Ming take away the soldier talisman, Jiang Hong could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

  He started to fight for Emperor Qi Ming when he was fifteen years old. When he handed over the soldier talisman, it would be a lie to say that he was not sad, but the moment he really handed over the soldier talisman, he was relieved.

  At least, the safety and stability of the Jiang family was preserved for a short period of time.

   "Your Majesty, it's getting late. If you don't want to disturb the Emperor, you will step back first."

   "Wang Kun, you send the general."

"yes."

  Wang Kun heard what Emperor Qi Ming said, and hurriedly followed Jiang Hong to the outside, but after walking a few steps, Jiang Hong turned his head and said with a smile, "Mr. Wang, please wait. You still have to serve the emperor, so you don't have to see me off."

   "Since that's the case, the general will go slowly."

  Nodding to Wang Kun, Jiang Hong walked quickly to the gate of the palace.

  Inside the hall.

  Emperor Qi Ming picked up the soldier talisman on the table, his eyes were full of complexity.

   "People left?"
