Chapter 258 The Big Joke

Hua Taiwei and the others looked at Xiao Jin who appeared wearing a fox mask, all of them had triumphant smiles on their faces.

Some people even smiled at Xiao Qi: "Duke Zhen, General Humian was canonized as the King of Zhennan by His Majesty, shouldn't your Duke's mansion give you a big gift?"

King Lingjun chuckled twice: "Lord Taiwei, Lord Zhen has a broad mind, not as narrow-minded as we and others, and General Humian has made indelible contributions to Da Qi, the grand gift of the Lord must have been prepared long ago. Yes. Grandpa, I don’t know if the king of this county is right?”

Xiao Qi suppressed a smile, and nodded expressionlessly: "The prince of the county and Taiwei Hua are right, as long as General Humian is named King of Zhennan today, the Duke of Zhen will set up a ten-day banquet to celebrate him. I don't know Are you satisfied with this great gift?"

Duke Ling, Taiwei Hua and the others were taken aback. Is Xiao Qi crazy?If it was Xiao Jin who was named King of Zhennan, it would be no problem for you to celebrate with a ten-day feast.Now that General Fox Face has robbed Xiao Jin of the King of Zhennan that originally belonged to him, and the Duke of Zhen's mansion is still setting up a banquet, isn't this a slap in the face for him?
"Oh? Lord Zhen Guo really wants to set up a ten-day floating banquet?" Mr. Minister Jian of the Ministry of Industry smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed: "General Fox Face can afford such treatment. After all, we all know that when dealing with rebels When Hu Guozhang and Cheng Guogong were together, General Humian made great achievements."

The king of Ling County joked: "Duke Zhen, it's not that you have prepared a ten-day celebration banquet in order to celebrate Mr. Xiao, right? Hahaha~"

Hua Taiwei couldn't help laughing: "Ahem, although the weather is good this year, every grain of grain is planted by the farmers hard. Anyway, the Duke's Mansion is ready, it's a pity if it falls, why don't you help us?" The fox-faced general, oh, no, it's our new King Zhennan, the prince, let's celebrate."

"Pfft~"

"Haha~"

All kinds of suppressed laughter sounded in the imperial study room, and the emperor also had a faint smile on his face.

Seeing that the emperor was not angry, the ministers laughed even more wantonly.

Everyone couldn't help sneaking glances at Xiao Qi, but they saw Duke Zhen's face was calm, as if everyone was not laughing at him and Duke Zhen's mansion.

Xiao Jin turned around and glanced at the ministers. Although everyone couldn't see the expression under his mask clearly, those smiling eyes did not escape the eyes of the old foxes.

It seems that this person is also willing to watch the jokes of the Zhen Guogong Mansion.

"Thank you, my lords, for your righteous words!" Xiao Jin clasped his fists at everyone and said, "After I receive the imperial decree, I will invite you all to go to Zhen Guogong's mansion for a drink. We won't go home until we're drunk!"

"Okay! If you don't get drunk, you won't return!" Seeing Xiao Jin saying that, the minister couldn't laugh anymore.

Taiwei Hua frowned, and asked amusedly, "King Zhennan, are you really planning to go to the Duke of Zhen's mansion to drink celebration wine?"

Xiao Jin nodded: "That's right! Didn't your lords say that? The food and drink in Zhen Guogong's mansion are all ready, don't waste it. Who knows that every piece of Chinese food is hard work. As His Majesty's ministers, we must Take the lead in cherishing food and avoiding waste!"

Minister: .
Is this a matter of cherishing food and not wasting it?This newly-promoted Zhennan prince has a bit of a head!Couldn't he see that everyone was making fun of Xiao Qi?

The emperor waved his hand: "Okay! The fox-faced general accepts the seal!"

Xiao Jin knelt down: "I accept the order!"

The emperor took the imperial decree from the eunuch, and said in person: "The fox-faced general Yushu is facing the wind, with high martial arts skills, both political integrity and ability. As the King of Zhennan, I bestow upon him a mansion of the Prince of Zhennan, a thousand acres of fertile land, countless pearls and jade, countless gold and silver, and fifty shops. This is my honor!"

"I accept the decree, thank you Lord Long En, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

The eunuch took the imperial decree and handed it to Xiao Jin's hands raised above his head.

"Aiqing, flatten your body!" The emperor lifted his hand up, and Xiao Jin stood up accordingly.

He clasped the imperial decree tightly in both hands, and smiled at the emperor: "I have a merciless request, please move to the Duke's mansion to attend the celebration banquet."

The emperor got up and smiled: "Quasi."

Xiao Qi bowed to the emperor and said, "Please, Your Majesty."

Xiao Jin said to the civil and military officials again: "My lords, let's go to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion together to attend the king's celebration banquet."

Hua Taiwei and the others were really angry and funny, everyone laughed and followed the emperor out of the palace.

Everyone is guessing that the king of Zhennan is probably taking the opportunity to take revenge on the Duke of Zhen's government and slap the Duke of Zhen's face in the face.

After all, before all the ministers spoke for him, the emperor never thought of canonizing him, and his name was not even included in the credit book.

That's right, even though he was named King of Zhennan, General Fox Face still has no name. It's really strange!

Could it be that the King of Zhennan was just a secret guard who couldn't see the light?killer?
The emperor is the same, even if it is a temporary name, we should give our new prince a name!

The emperor was sitting at the front of the procession on the top of the dragon, Xiao Jin and Xiao Qi rode tall horses on the left and right sides of the emperor, civil and military officials followed behind on horses and sedan chairs, and marched mightily towards Zhen Guogong's mansion. go.

Seeing this scene, the common people were surprised: "What is the purpose of such a big battle?"

A servant who knew the inside story quietly told the acquaintances what happened.

In less than half an hour, what happened in the palace spread throughout the entire Lingdu.

Everyone was saying that the Duke of Zhen's mansion had made a big joke. They had known that the late Mr. Xiao would be crowned King of Zhennan by His Majesty, and they had prepared a ten-day banquet early.

Who knew that the emperor kept all the secrets and forgot to reward the fox-faced general who had made the most contributions.Under the recommendation of Taiwei Hua, King Lingjun and others, His Majesty appointed General Humian as King of Zhennan instead.

Xiao Qi, Lord of the Town, based on the principle of not wasting money, celebrated the achievements of the King of Zhennan at the Mansion of the Lord of the Town, and the ten-day running water banquet was held as usual.

Whether it is the dignitaries of the Lingdu, the rich merchants, or the common people, they all flocked towards the Duke of Zhen's mansion, firstly to have a banquet, and secondly to see the ugly face of the mansion of the town.

The Zhen Guogong Mansion is really ready. There are [-] tables outside the mansion, which are specially prepared for ordinary people who do not have invitations.There are two hundred tables prepared in the mansion, which are banquets for dignitaries with invitations, relatives and friends.

"Hahaha~" Someone was sitting on the banquet table outside the mansion, drinking a small wine and laughing: "The people in Zhen Guogong's mansion have been very proud these days, it's alright now, the celebration banquet has become a feast for Zhennan. The king is celebrating."

"The key is that the King of Zhennan has nothing to do with the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion! Hahaha~"

The servant who brought the food slammed the plate on the table, glared at the two of them, turned around and left angrily.

"Hahaha. Look at this stinky face!" The two men pointed at the young man's back and laughed even more happily.

Scenes like this were constantly being staged inside and outside the town government's mansion.

In the hall of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, all civil and military officials sat down one by one, looking at the delicious food and wine on the table, each of them secretly lamented that the Duke of Zhen's Mansion really spent a lot of money for this celebration banquet.

It's a pity that people's calculations are not as good as the sky's calculations. The title of Zhennan King did not fall into the pocket of the Duke of Zhenguo in the end.

Hey, what's going on?Why did the Zhen Guogong Mansion divide the hall into two parts, with a screen in the middle?

Could it be that the female relatives from various prefectures were also invited?
All the adults looked puzzled, they were all afraid that the Zhen Guogong's mansion would be too embarrassing, so they didn't send a message to their wives.

Zhen Guo Gongfu, is this a broken jar?
