Chapter 20: The Celebration Banquet
General Han, you really have a lot of skills.
This yin and yang strange words fell into Han Yu's ears, but he thought it was appreciated.
Han Yu said repeatedly: "It's all thanks to Your Majesty's layout, and the ministers don't dare to be it!" ”
Li Cheng's face struggled to remain flat, he took a deep breath, was too lazy to continue talking nonsense, waved his hand and said: "General Han is too modest, from now on, Han Yu will be named the general of Zhengdong, and the official will be the second rank, and all the meritorious people under his command will be promoted to one level, and the rest will be handled by the prime minister." ”
The general returned to the dynasty, and the king rewarded him.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Seeing this, the civil and military officials glanced at each other, with Han Yu's military exploits, it was more than enough to serve as this general of Zhengdong, and they didn't want to jump out and say anything.
Han Yu kowtowed and said loudly: "Minister, thank Your Majesty!" ”
Li Cheng nodded slightly and said, "If it's okay, then retreat." ”
It's not an early dynasty now, it's just because the army has returned to the dynasty that hundreds of civil and military officials have gathered here.
Li Cheng's voice fell, and he was about to leave the Hantian Palace.
Zhuge Wuming suddenly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, General Han's Eastern Crusade has achieved such great results, and the minister feels that a celebration banquet should be held to celebrate the great victory of this Eastern Crusade!" ”
Celebration Banquet......
I don't even know how much life will be increased by the next national strength test, and I celebrate!
Believe it or not, I stroked your black hat!
Li Cheng gritted his teeth and thought about it, no, if the celebration banquet is more luxurious, the increased consumption of silver will definitely increase.
It is estimated that the national strength will not be reduced by much, but it will be reduced somewhat.
This prime minister.
He is worthy of being his good comrade-in-arms!
Li Cheng's eyes when he looked at Zhuge Wuming were a lot softer, or his comrade-in-arms understood him.
He waved his sleeves and said, "Then set up a celebration banquet tonight and set it up in Guanglu Temple!" All civil and military officials are here, they can bring their families, and reward the three armies in the barracks, and all expenses will come from the state treasury! ”
Guanglu Temple, the place where the emperor feasted his ministers.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The ministers knelt down again to give thanks.
Li Cheng strode out.
But the ministers were excited.
How long has it been since they've been to a feast at Guanglu Temple?
During the period of the first emperor, the first emperor was going to die, and he refused to feast the ministers at all, let alone invite the ministers in Guanglu Temple.
At this time in Li Cheng, he had not been on the throne for a long time, and he had not invited his ministers to a banquet.
Now it is the first time that Li Cheng has hosted a banquet for his ministers, and it is still in Guanglu Temple.
The ministers were naturally excited, and some of them were like Han Yu, who had never been to Guanglu Temple, so they naturally felt novel.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to take a bath and see you at Guanglu Temple later."
"Well, since you are going to the emperor's banquet, you naturally have to take a bath and meditate, and then you can go to the banquet, and then you remember to ...... when you dress, and when you wear boots, you must wear that kind of ......"
"Ministry of Rites, go back honestly, don't talk about the rules here, did you see the murderous eyes of those generals?"
"Ahem, you guys go slowly first, the old man will go back first."
“……”
On the other side, Zhuge Wuming and Han Yu walked out of the palace together.
The two were talking.
"Congratulations to General Han, you have become a second-rank official at a young age, and your future is unlimited!"
Zhuge Wuming said with a smile as he walked.
Han Yu shook his head and smiled, followed behind the other party, and said, "The prime minister said that he was laughing, compared to the prime minister, I don't know how tender it is." ”
Zhuge Wuming smiled faintly and said: "Your heart is steady, don't be modest, in time, you will definitely be the first person in the Tang Dynasty military." ”
The first person in the military!
Faced with this evaluation, Han Yu was no longer modest, but smiled and admitted it.
With the current military power of Datang, he is indeed very confident.
As long as he is given a few years to precipitate, then he will be the first person in the Datang military!
Zhuge Wuming saw that Han Yu didn't speak, and he didn't care, he shook his head with a smile: "It's really a pity that this Eastern Crusade is a bit more abundant, if the Tang Dynasty has a little more strength, it will be able to swallow all the Dongyi Kingdom, and then you can see what other countries are in the east of my Datang." ”
There was also a deep sigh in his tone.
"Prime Minister, in fact, this time I went east to occupy those fifteen cities, one of which came into contact with the border of another country."
Han Yu suddenly arched his hand and said.
Zhuge Wuming raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why didn't you tell Your Majesty?" ”
Han Yu grinned and said, "I don't know what Your Majesty thinks, so it's not good to say it openly, I have already written a letter to Your Majesty, I believe Your Majesty should be able to see it." ”
Zhuge Wuming bowed slightly, stopped, and asked, "How much do you know about that country?" ”
It's not a good thing that the land is connected.
The main thing is that they don't know what the situation is like in that country, and if it's good, it's good, but if it's belligerent, it's inevitable that it's going to be another war.
Han Yu shook his head and said, "I was in too much of a hurry, and I haven't sent anyone to communicate with them yet, so I don't know anything." ”
Nothing......
Zhuge Wuming's face showed solemnity, looked in the direction of the palace, and said: "That can only depend on what Your Majesty commands, I really don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing, okay, you can go back first, and we will go to the banquet later." ”
Han Yu nodded and said, "Then Prime Minister, I'll leave first." ”
With that, he got up and left.
Zhuge Wuming stopped in place, sighed after the sound, and walked away.
……
Soon, night came.
Inside Guanglu Temple.
Many courtiers arrived, either with their companions or their families.
All of a sudden, the entire deserted Guanglu Temple became lively.
There are inner halls and outer halls in Guanglu Temple.
The inner sanctum, which is relatively narrow, can only be entered by some of the more important courtiers.
The outer hall is relatively wide, and there are a lot of people that can accommodate it, and it is located by officials of relatively low rank.
Han Yu also brought his wife 'Sun Duyang' to Guanglu Temple.
Sun Duyang had obviously never seen this kind of world, and was very scared, so he clenched Han Yu's palm.
"Twilight, don't be afraid."
Han Yu smiled and walked in with Sun Duyang.
After the battlefield killing, his temperament has the kind of battlefield veterans...... Murderous!
The murderous spirit is both inspiring and courageous.
If he were in the past, he would definitely be more or less afraid, but now he is not afraid of this kind of occasion.
However, he didn't bother to go to the inner hall when he saw his wife's appearance, and was trying to find a place to sit in the outer hall.
But before Han Yu could sit down, many officials in the outer hall exploded, stood up one after another, and sent Han Yu to the inner hall.
Just kidding, the protagonist of the celebration banquet sits in the outer hall, what do you want to do?
The inner and outer sanctums upside down?
In desperation, Han Yu could only take his wife to the inner hall to sit down, and before he could sit down for long, a sharp voice came in from outside.
"Your Majesty has arrived!"
