"Let's see who dares to beat my good granddaughter Tao Lu!"

At the critical moment, Tao Lu, the head of the family who had been watching coldly, finally spoke. He slowly got up from the chair, looked at his son coldly, his voice was very soft, but with an unquestionable majesty.

Tao Song was originally angry and was short of breath. He didn't really want to be rough on his daughter. He couldn't get off the tiger, but now that his father opened his mouth to make a rescue, he took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey. "Father's words are serious, but son dare not."

Tao Lu glanced coldly at all the members in the hall, snorted coldly, and his tone seemed extremely distressed: "My Patriarch just listened to your argument from beginning to end, and to tell you the truth, I am very disappointed. Very sad."

"Father, I..." Tao Song knew something was wrong and wanted to defend himself.

"Shut up, I'm talking about you!" Tao Lu pointed at Tao Song, with stern eyes, and scolded, "I'm talking about you, Han'er is your daughter, but what do you think of her? Qi When Wang gains power, you want her to marry King Qi; when King Qi loses power, you want her to marry King Qin; when King Qin loses power, do you want her to marry King Jin or King Chu instead?"

"Son doesn't mean that..." Tao Song was first robbed by his daughter, and now he was scolded by his father, his face turned red and pale, and he wanted to argue but didn't know how to explain.

But Tao Lu ignored Tao Song, his fingers brushed across the faces of every family member who supported the break with Xiao Jie, and all the people he pointed to bowed their heads in shame.

"I'm really sad. There are so many men in the Tao family, but their knowledge is not as good as that of a woman like Han'er. Lin'er and Han'er are right. When did the king of Qi ask our Tao family for a penny? When did the king of Qi treat us badly?" Our Tao family, without the help of King Qi, where would I be Marquis of Guannei now, and now that King Qi is in trouble, is this how our Tao family repays him?"

Everyone in the Tao family bowed their heads in shame for a moment, but Tao Han's eyes turned red all of a sudden. I don't know if it was because of what his grandfather said, or because he thought of Xiao Jie's current situation.

"It's true that our Tao family has been doing business for generations. It's okay for a businessman to seek profit, but one must have a conscience. How can a person without a conscience gain a foothold in the world? How will a family without a conscience think of our Tao family? The Tao family has no faith and righteousness, who would want to do business with our Tao family."

Tao Lu glanced over the faces of the crowd again, and finally stayed on the face of his son Tao Song, and said in a tone of hatred for iron and steel: "Don't think that I don't know what your plan is, but let me tell you, you Thinking of things too simply, let me ask you, if you were King Xiao Huang of Qin, when you knew that the Tao family had abandoned King Qi when King Qi was in trouble, what would you think of the Tao family? Would you think highly of the Tao family? Do you dare to rest assured of the Tao family? Do you dare to reuse the Tao family? Can you stop embanking the Tao family everywhere? Do you want to squeeze the Tao family dry?"

Tao Lu's series of rhetorical questions made Tao Song break out in a cold sweat. He finally realized that he was wrong, outrageously wrong. He knelt down in front of Tao Lu and said with shame, "Father, my son knows he was wrong."

Tao Lu still ignored his son who was kneeling on the ground, but continued to persuade everyone: "I don't want the Tao family to follow King Qi to Hei, but I, Tao Lu, have lived decades longer than you, and it's not for nothing. I see many things more clearly than you.”

"You all think that King Qi has fallen out of favor, but I don't see it that way. I know where Jiaozhou is, but you also know what the position of the governor of Jiaozhou is. There are only three governors in the Daning Dynasty who hold heavy troops. How could the emperor do that?" Putting a son out of favor in such an important office."

"What does father mean?" Tao Lin seemed to understand something.

Tao Lu nodded heavily, but his old eyes were shining brightly at the moment: "In my opinion, because of the matter of the noble concubine, there is a lot of talk about King Qi in the capital, and there are a lot of rumors and gossips. Stay away from the capital, where this is wrong, and go to the place to experience it."

Everyone in the Tao family suddenly realized that they were not only ashamed of their short-sightedness, but also admired the patriarch's foresight from the bottom of their hearts. Sure enough, Jiang was still old and spicy.

Tao Lu looked around at the crowd and said earnestly: "Since the Tao family is a family of merchants, they must understand the principle of living with rare goods. Now everyone thinks that King Qi has lost power, and everyone is afraid to avoid it. If our Tao family stays with King Qi at this time Don't give up, help him make a comeback. Once he occupies the world in the future, with his temperament, he will definitely not treat our Tao family badly. I believe that as long as King Qi is not deposed as a commoner, he will still have a chance in the East Palace .”

Tao Lu's words convinced everyone, and no one dared to break up with Xiao Jie. From then on, the Tao family decided to continue to help and support Qi Wang Xiao Jie.

Tao Han's eyes were red again, and she seemed to have made an important decision.

She will accompany Xiao Jie to Jiaozhou to take up his post.

……

In the imperial study room, Commander Zhang Chu of the Kirin Guard was reporting important information to Xiao Ji.

"So, the Tao family decided to continue supporting Yu'er in the end?" Xiao Ji asked in a deep voice with thoughtful eyes.

Zhang Chu said in a respectful tone: "Yes, Your Majesty, it's all thanks to Miss Tao's argument and Patriarch Tao Lu's final decision."

Xiao Ji smiled faintly, and said to Lian Yi, who stood beside him, "This Tao family has a bit of conscience and insight, and they are still willing to support Yu'er at this time."

Lian Yi also smiled, lowered his eyebrows and said pleasantly: "Thanks to their conscience and insight, otherwise Tao Lu might not be able to be a Marquis of Guan Nei for a few days."

Xiao Ji laughed: "It's still you, an old fellow, who can see clearly. Su Jing's books for so many years have been read for nothing, and he still doesn't understand like you, an old fellow."

Speaking of Su Jing, Xiao Ji felt a little annoyed. According to the news from Qilin Guard, since he was dismissed from the position of Yushi Zhongcheng and transferred from the Yushitai, he has been in a daze every day, and has been impeached many times.

"The old slave has been with His Majesty for a long time, so he sees things more clearly. Master Su has read a lot, so he is inevitably angry with his book business. He doesn't know that His Majesty dismissed him from office for protection. With his temperament, if His Royal Highness King Qi hadn't been in Beijing. Give me some pointers, and sooner or later I'm going to stumble." Lian Yi quickly took over Xiao Ji's conversation, and what he said was well-founded.

Xiao Ji also sighed, and said silently: "I hope that Yu'er will not learn from his father-in-law. He is still young. Many times, I transferred him away from the right and wrong place in Beijing, and sent him to Jiaozhou, just to train him well. When the time comes, I will naturally transfer him back to Beijing. If he can't figure it out, and he doesn't recover from it, I will treat him as a If you look away, Daning Jiangshan must not be handed over to him."

"I suffered much more than him when I was young, but I survived differently. So far, Yu'er has never disappointed me, and I hope this time it won't either!"
