After another drink, Ge Mingqi swayed slightly, and he began to feel dizzy. He knew clearly that he could not drink anymore. He whispered to his father Ge Muyao, who had been leading him to toast the ministers one by one:
"Father, I can't..."
"This is such a good opportunity. All the ministers have come to congratulate you. It just allows you to meet each minister one by one. It will definitely be beneficial to you in the future. Besides, you have already paid half of the respect, and the rest
What will those ministers who are half disrespectful or disrespectful think?" Ge Muyao knew what Ge Mingqi was going to say, so he nodded to the ministers who were looking over with a smile, interrupted Ge Mingqi in a low voice, and then led Ge Mingqi to continue the toast.
Ge Mingqi had no choice but to bite the bullet and hold on, drinking glass after glass of wine.
By the time everyone was done paying respect, Ge Mingqi was already drunk. He was so top-heavy that he almost had to be helped up, and he couldn't even tell the difference between east, west and north.
The ministers were also very enthusiastic. When they saw that Ge Mingqi had finished his toast, they took the initiative to go up and offer Ge Mingqi a drink in return. First, it was for Ge Muchao's sake, and also for Su Hu's sake. Su Hu has been getting more and more popular recently.
He has become more and more important to Cang Jingtian. Now that Ge Mingqi has married the daughter of Su Hu, no matter who is involved, this face will definitely be given to him. Secondly, Cang Jingtian suddenly decided to go on a personal expedition this time and chose Ge Muchao to accompany him. They did not
Knowing what Cang Jingtian is thinking, I don’t know if Cang Jingtian wants to use Ge Muyao in a special way, so there is nothing wrong with fawning over him first.
Ge Mingqi couldn't refuse, so he was supported by a servant, shaking his hands and drinking another glass of wine.
Ge Muyao saw that Ge Mingqi seemed to be really dying, thinking that he would have a bridal chamber that night, so he started to hold Ge Mingqi's drink so that his servants could help Ge Mingqi go back to his new house first.
All the civil and military officials obviously noticed this, so after talking and laughing, they let Ge Mingqi go and toasted to Ge Muchao instead.
At this time, a sharp and loud voice suddenly sounded, "The imperial edict has arrived!"
Everyone turned around suddenly.
"General Ge, Mr. Ge, please accept the order." The person who made the sharp voice was one of the eunuchs beside Emperor Cang Jingtian - Eunuch Mu. Eunuch Mu was holding a bright yellow holy ink in both hands when everyone looked back.
He strode over and walked directly to the front of the hall, then turned back and said to Ge Muyao.
Ge Muyao had already reacted and quickly asked his servants to help Ge Mingqi back to receive the order. He then flicked the hem of his clothes and knelt down.
All the civil and military officials had already reacted. They quickly put down their wine glasses and knelt down one after another. In a blink of an eye, the whole hall was knelt down.
The servant who had just helped Ge Mingqi down, helped Ge Mingqi back, and then also helped Ge Mingqi to kneel down.
When Eunuch Mu saw everyone kneeling down, he began to announce the decree loudly.
"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict:
Ge Muyao has been loyal to me for many years, has made great military exploits, and has made great contributions to the country. Today, I specially promote Ge Muyao to the rank of general of Pingfan, and he will accompany me on the expedition. Ge Mingqi, the son of Ge Muyao, is young and promising, and he is a young general who has won my respect.
I like Su Ran, the daughter of Su Hu, who is virtuous and virtuous, possessing both ability and political integrity, intelligence and beauty. The two of them are a match made in heaven. Today, I specially decree to marry them, and reward them with thousands of pieces of silk and satin, and thousands of taels of gold. I will also grant the title of Ge Mingqi.
