On New Year's Eve, it is usually a royal family dinner.

The emperor would call his brothers, sisters, children and family for the New Year’s Eve dinner.

Rather than saying that this is the emperor's meaning, it is the empress dowager's meaning.

Of course, Jing Hedi naturally likes family affection very much, so he actively promotes and prepares every time.

For today's dinner, three cows, five sheep, and two upstart ecological pigs were slaughtered in the imperial kitchen. It's not that they can't bear to leave the pigs, but that it's not enough, and there are still ten pigs to prepare for the New Year banquet tomorrow, so I can only save a little today.

Before the dinner was over, people were standing everywhere at the gate of Yongshou Palace here.

The emperor had five younger brothers and two younger sisters. These younger brothers and sisters had their own family, and the imperial concubines and concubines were scattered, and there were about fifty people chatting and talking here.

Liu Mingqi was caught by the prince.

"Mingqi, you are really too much." The prince said with a smile: "You just said that Lin Yao did what you were assassinated some time ago. The Embroidered Uniform Guard took him back for review for several days before he released him. He was so scared that he didn't dare to go out for several days. Now he heard the name of the Embroidered Uniform Guard."

During that time, Gao Jing was driven crazy. No matter what your eldest son of the Governor of the Cao Transportation Army, even if the Governor of the Cao Transportation Army is suspected, he would still dare to arrest him and interrogate him. If you have the affinity, you will rebel.

So Lin Yao entered the Embroidered Uniform Guard Office and did not receive any preferential treatment. He was interrogated for several days.

In the end, of course, he didn't ask anything. The governor of the Cao Transportation Transport Lin Zhenyuan and the prince gave their feelings one after another, so Gao Jing could only let him go.

However, the sequelae left on Lin Yao is also very great.

Liu Mingqi was very satisfied with this.

I asked you to covet my sugar business, but I didn’t think about it. Are you worthy?

But he certainly can't say that on the surface.

The young man smiled and said, "Your Highness, I counted it. I have not agreed to the kid's request for investment recently, but I have no enemies. It's good that Mr. Lin is not suspicious, and it also proves his innocence."

The prince was amused and crying, "You! The father was indeed not wrong. You are good at everything, but you are very scheming!"

"Nothing! The emperor is slandering me!" Liu Mingqi refused to accept it when he was beaten to death, "Your Highness, Crown Prince, come and judge. How many solutions have I thought of for the emperor and how many ideas did I give him? In this way, I am often scolded!"

"Is it normal for you to be scolded?" the prince said in surprise.

Liu Mingqi: "..."

I can't continue talking this day.

The Dakang royal family is not that strict, and it will not be like the Qing Dynasty or Ming Dynasty, and can be caught and tidy up.

The prince didn't care about the boy's complaints to the emperor, but nodded and said, "Mingqi, you have good abilities, but you must strengthen your moral cultivation in the future. Just like Uncle Su, it will be difficult for others to find fault with you. Let's manage the entire royal family together!

It’s impossible for people to laugh at our generation as far inferior to our father and Uncle Su. As for me, don’t worry, no matter who it is, you can’t hurt the royal family, let alone hurt my brother. I promise you with our common bloodline inheritance!”

The boy's heart was slightly shocked.

The prince’s guarantee is very sincere.

It is obvious that he is sincere.

Emperor Jinghe belonged to Liu Mingqi as the next Zongzheng, and the prince knew that this was the case.

He has no objection.

After all, his only younger brother, Wang Mingan, is too young. He is only over seven years old this year, and he is less than thirty years old in twenty years.

If such a Zongzheng comes to power, he may not be able to suppress others.

Besides, even the prince knew that Ming'an had a naughty personality and had problems with his behavior, so he was unwilling to let his younger brother be the master of his son.

Although Liu Mingqi is not as generous and gentle as Mingguan, the prince of Li, the position of Zongzheng is not suitable for people with a personality like Mingguan, and it still needs to be shocking.

Liu Mingqi is very suitable.

He is a man with many tricks, always has wonderful ideas and rich in his mind. Isn’t this a true candidate for the primordial?

As for what the emperor often told him that he could rely more on Liu Mingqi's suggestions in the future, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also agreed.

Just look at what he has done, can that be a person with no idea?

The prince was also more at ease with Liu Mingqi's character.

Last time he asked what was used at the Gate of Hell, Liu Mingqi refused directly, completely ignoring that he was the next emperor.

Only those who keep secrets like this make people feel more at ease.

Otherwise, if there is something wrong, he will be like a sieve and cannot hide anything, then there is no need for such a person to use.

...

After chatting with the prince for a while, Zhao Shou from there began to shout and invite everyone to the table.

For some reason, King Shou sat next to Liu Mingqi, but his mother sat next to the emperor.

King Shou was quite terrified.

Seeing his appearance, Liu Mingqi said, "Why, I feel uncomfortable sitting with me?"

"No, no, no." Shou Wang squeezed out a smile: "How can you be uncomfortable with your husband?"

"Then you smile more!"

"Um!?"

"Today's New Year, who do you show me a bitter face?" Liu Mingqi said, "If you dare not smile, do you know the consequences?"

"I know, I know!"

King Shou quickly kept his smile.

When he saw anyone looking at him, he replied with a polite and embarrassing smile.

But he looks a little timid and aggrieved.

He really doesn't like such occasions.

These people are not the ones he can bully, and there are so many people, he can only listen to what he says.

It is far worse than the days when he was the king of Yonghe Palace.

Of course, he dared not do anything wrong in Yonghe Palace now, otherwise Liu Mingqi would have whipped it directly when he saw that any palace maid and eunuch were injured.

well!

When will such a hard day end?

By the way, after I go back tonight, I have to review "Encourage Learning" again, otherwise if I mess up tomorrow, I can eat bamboo shoots and stir-fried meat every day!

This demon is so cruel!!

Shouwang smiled socially while crying in his heart. This feeling is really unspeakable.

The sons of the Li Wang family, not far away, were talking about this future prince.

Jishan Gong Liu Mingxin smiled and said, "Brother, look at Mingqi. Even people like Shouwang have been taught to be obedient by him. He really has a way."

Before the prince Liu Mingguan could speak, his legitimate brother Liu Minghua pursed his lips, "Haha, what's the way? I heard that it's just a beating, and the beating made King Shou scare! This Liu Mingqi is so fierce and vicious, and sooner or later, it will cause trouble!"

Liu Mingguan nodded, "Mingqi has become more intense. When dealing with children, she should be tempted and taught more. If this continues, Your Highness Shou may have a strong rebellion."

Liu Mingxin said: "I think Mingqi was called by the emperor to teach King Shou at the age of sixteen. Brother, you are mature and steady, and well-read poetry, why didn't you call me?"

"Hmph, this is not simple, is the emperor partial to it?" Liu Minghua said: "And Mingqi can also flatter him. Look at the things he sent to the palace... How much does the emperor like? How much does the emperor like?"

Liu Mingguan frowned slightly, but did not talk to them.

He actually knew in his heart that Emperor Jinghe chose Liu Mingqi because he wanted him to be a villain. In terms of knowledge and talent, Liu Mingqi was not as good as those great scholars.

It is precisely because of this reason that he was not selected.

But now when my younger brother mentioned it, he was still a little depressed.

...

Soon, the emperor accompanied the emperor to the future.

As usual, the Queen Mother spoke first.

This kind of family banquet will definitely not be respected by the emperor, but his mother has the final say.

The Queen Mother was happy to see a group of children and grandchildren. When she was old, she naturally liked such a happy scene.

She first said a few words and then looked forward to the future, and then began the highlight - giving money.

The old lady has been busy doing this these days.

The royal family and nobles in Beijing all came to the Empress Dowager's side to receive annual rewards.

Of course it is impossible to give one by one.

Everyone gathered together and congratulated the Queen Mother outside the palace for her happy New Year, healthy and longevity, and always happy.

Then the eunuchs and palace maids will register their names, and the Office of the Internal Affairs will deliver silver and rice (wheat) to their mansion in a few days.

The royal family and nobles located in other places will be delivered to them by special personnel - usually deducted from local taxes and waited for the New Year, and then the Ministry of Internal Affairs will settle the bill with the Ministry of Revenue.

Money and food must have been given by the emperor.

This part of the expenditure depends on the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the emperor's various mining resources, imperial villages, etc., which were established to spare this expense.
