From Yang Wenguang to Wu Ming, the representative of the soldiers who fought very bravely, they were all called to the main hall to accept the reward, only Hu Yanping, who was as shady as a mouse, could only wait for Chen Yuan to go back and give him a reward. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Renzong has not yet mentioned Chen Shimei.

Chen Yuan was not in a hurry, he stood on the hall very calmly, he knew that under normal circumstances, the show was the finale!

Sure enough, after everyone rewarded him, Renzong said to Chen Yuan: "Chen Shimei, I have appointed you as the former lieutenant of the Forbidden Army Palace, responsible for planning to expand the new army, can you do a good job?" ”

Renzong's words surprised everyone in the court!

The ministers on one side suddenly smelled a strange smell!

This Chen Shimei is about to be a concubine, and she must have the identity of a worthy princess, so she should be promoted. This time, he took the initiative to ask for help when he was in trouble, and he made such a great contribution, so he should be promoted.

Renzong gave Chen Yuan no one to speak to any official position, the problem is the task of this official position, to expand the new army!

As early as when Fan Zhongyan went on the expedition, he had a twist and turn on Renzong's reform, Fan Zhongyan's change had many aspects, and the banner he played was the "strong army" that Renzong wanted most!

For Fan Zhongyan, everyone in the court admires him! Including Renzong.

Fan Zhongyan was so stingy that he was so stingy that before going to bed one night, he calculated how much money he spent today, but there was a discrepancy of three cents, and he didn't sleep well all night because of this, and he went to someone to verify it the next day.

But no one dares to say that Fan Zhongyan is stingy, because he likes to participate in charity and the Hope Project, often helps poor students, and is generous in this regard.

Fan Zhongyan's way to become famous is also very special, he was unknown when he stepped into the official career, but whatever he thought of, as long as he felt that it was beneficial to the country and the people, he dared to say it.

Fan Zhongyan is famous all over the world for three offenses, and the first time he asked the Empress Dowager Liu, who was to listen to the government, to withdraw the curtain and return to power, and was deposed; After the second time he opposed the abolition of Renzong, who had just become pro-government, he was deposed; The third time was a few months ago, accusing Prime Minister Lu Yijian of improper employment and being deposed. Every time he is degraded, he becomes more famous.

He has a fourth, and it hasn't happened yet, but it's going to be sooner if history doesn't change. The fourth time he told Renzong that it was time to make a prince. You don't have a son yourself, so take one from your clan.

There's nothing wrong with that, right? It was completely for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji, and later Renzong did the same.

But what Fan Zhongyan said was not the right time, when he said it, Renzong was less than fifty, dozens of concubines in the palace, and a few daughters were standing there, at this time, you concluded that Renzong had no sons? You're not saying that he can't be the emperor, you're saying that he can't be a man!

Therefore, Renzong was angry again, and he was deposed.

In short, Fan Zhongyan is a person who dares to say and do anything as long as he feels that it is beneficial to the country and the people. He took the "change of law and strengthening the army" in front of hundreds of officials, and everyone didn't take it seriously at that time, because everyone knew Renzong's surname, change the law? Renzong couldn't make up his mind, so no one objected, and he was thinking about making Fan Zhongyan more comfortable, and then hurried to the western frontier to share the emperor's worries.

Now that Chen Shimei has won the battle, the situation is also very good, and Renzong suddenly has courage! It seems that we have to think about this issue of changing the law, and after all, this issue involves the interests of many people.

The emperor wants to train a new army, which means that the emperor at least wants to "strengthen the army", and the ministers in the hall looked at each other, each thinking about the little Jiujiu in their hearts, some people were happy and some were worried.

Renzong really wanted to change the law at this time, this concept had been brewing in his mind for a long time, even earlier than Liao Xingzong, but he never made this decision.

But now, because Chen Yuan led this group of troops to achieve impressive results, it also made Renzong's heart restless!

Fan Zhongyan heard this and said busily: "Long live, I think that the road to a strong army is not simply to start with the army. The system of the court, the economy of the Great Song Dynasty, and the application of personnel must all change as one! ”

When Renzong was about to nod, Wang Yanling came out of the crowd: "Long live, the minister thinks that Lord Fan's words are up for discussion, my Great Song Dynasty's past performance is not good, but there is nothing wrong with it in terms of civil affairs, and the policy of employing people is the ancestral system set by Emperor Taizong, so you must not change your words easily!" ”

Ouyang Xiu stood up suddenly: "Long live, Weichen thought that Prime Minister Wang Cheng was surprised!" Why was Chen Shimei able to win this time? It's because Banzai gave him enough rights before he went on the expedition! If he planned his route as usual and let him go on, it is estimated that Commander Chen Du would not be able to save General Liu Ping, and I am afraid that he would have to accompany them himself! Therefore, since it is not right, even if it is the ancestral system, we must correct it. ”

Xia Zhu came out: "Your Majesty, my Great Song Dynasty is now in the country and the people, don't stir up turmoil!" Besides, the party Khitan is watching over us like two hungry wolves, and if we automatically become turbulent, I am afraid that the enemy will have a chance to take advantage of it! Long live think twice! ”

Fu Bi immediately retorted: "Weichen thinks that it is because of the strong enemy around. Our Great Song Dynasty should seek a road to prosperity and strength! ”

As soon as the topic opened, all the courtiers enthusiastically spoke, and this issue was resolutely unyielding. Some people want to change the law, but some people are very happy with the current system! So even if the banquet has already begun to be served, there is still no one in the inner court who uses chopsticks, and for these ministers, it is really "not that they haven't eaten".

The soldiers outside were amazed when they looked at the hidden delicacies of the mountains and seas, Gao Yingxi stared at a plate of delicate-looking shredded meat on the table, raised his eyes and asked Dong Kui: "Brother, is this for watching or eating?" ”

Dong Kui hesitated for a moment, the dish was really exquisitely arranged, as if it was the most beautiful handicraft, which made him feel that if he dug up a piece with chopsticks as he usually did, it might be a bit of a big surprise.

"You think it's food, right?"

There are also people who know the goods, and a soldier next to him said: "This dish is called Yuluo Hanmei, you can see the shredded meat on it, although the size is the same, but it is very famous." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and the soldier saw their suspicions, touched his nose and said, "Seriously, I used to be a cook." ”

Gao Ying hurriedly asked, "Sheng Tao, tell me what is famous in it?" ”

Sheng Tao said: "There are five kinds of shredded meat, namely roe meat, venison, beef, rabbit meat, and mutton. The most difficult part of making this dish is here, the five kinds of meat together, rabbit meat is easy to rot, mutton and beef should be simmered on low heat, and venison and roe meat should be roasted on high heat. If you burn them separately, each has its own flavor, then it will not work. It is very difficult to grasp the heat when it comes together, so even those chefs can't do it well. ”

Dong Kui couldn't help but stay when he was saliva, and his eyes showed a light like a hungry wolf: "Brothers, how about I taste one first?" ”

Yan Zhan glared at him: "Don't move!" Don't you see that the adults in there haven't eaten yet? ”

Dong Kuiqiang pressed the gluttonous worm in his stomach and looked inside the inner court: "What are you talking about these adults?" Isn't it a celebration banquet? It's not going to be just for us to watch, is it? ”

Renzong didn't expect that one sentence would cause such a heated debate, and these people seemed to have endless reasons, and they talked endlessly, without the slightest intention of stopping.

He looked at Lu Yijian, until now, Lu Yijian didn't say a word, Renzong was very curious, he knew that Lu Yijian was actually a person who was not willing to be lonely, and asked at the moment: "Xiangguo, why don't you speak?" I would like to know, what do you think of Master Fan's proposal? ”

Lu Yijian slowly stepped forward at this time: "Your Majesty, the minister has a lot to say, but now is the celebration banquet, and when it comes to the court, the minister will naturally say it." ”

Whether it is for or against, after listening to it, it suddenly dawns on me that it is a bit too hasty to discuss this issue now. Wait for tomorrow, go back to the draft, find some information, and be more sure tomorrow!

Xia Zhu immediately said: "Long live, what Lord Xiangguo said is very true, but the ministers are impatient, and it is really not appropriate to say these things now." ”

Renzong nodded: "Okay, let's have a table." Chen Shimei, this first glass of wine, I want to salute you, and your three thousand sergeants! ”

This is the politeness of etiquette, it is not Chen Yuan's turn to speak, he just needs to hold a wine glass and listen to the eunuch's arrangement.

When Renzong walked out of the inner court, a eunuch shouted: "The emperor gives wine!" Soldiers get up! ”

The soldiers were not familiar with this set at all, and when they got up, some people saw that they didn't even have a wine glass in front of them, and they were very at a loss. A group of eunuchs immediately ran over, each with a plate in his hand, on which was a jug of wine and a few glasses. They obviously knew that they should run to that table, and not a single one of the more than a hundred people made a mistake, and in less than a minute, the soldiers had wine in their hands.

Dong Kui smelled the wine in his cup, it was so fragrant!

Renzong raised his glass high at this time: "Soldiers, the enemy has invaded, snooping on my Great Song territory, killing my people and destroying my homeland!" When the country is in crisis, you have stepped forward to share my worries and drive the enemy to protect the country, I am grateful! This first glass of wine, thank you for the people of the Great Song Dynasty! First of all, I will pay tribute to those heroes who died in battle, I will never forget their blood shed for the country! ”

After Renzong finished speaking, the wine glass in his hand tilted, and a glass of wine was poured to the ground.

The eunuch shouted, "Thank you! ”

Chen Yuan took the lead, and more than a thousand sergeants shouted together: "Emperor Xie!" ”

Dong Kui couldn't help it after shouting, this wine was too fragrant, and when he was about to put the wine glass in his mouth, he suddenly heard the eunuch shouting: "Pour!" ”

Chen Yuan and the others took the lead and also poured the wine in the wine glass on the ground, Dong Kui hesitated, he was really reluctant to pour such fragrant wine like this, but everyone poured it, and he could only do it, sighing in his heart: "It's a pity, it's a pity!" ”

A eunuch came over and immediately poured them another cup, Dong Kui thought in his heart, this cup should always be able to drink, right?

Who knows that this set of procedures has to pour three glasses of wine in a row, this is the rule set by Zhao Kuangyin, after the victory of the soldiers, at the celebration banquet, they must first respect the comrades who died in battle, and then respect the heaven and earth, and finally drink it themselves. In Zhao Kuangyin's time, everyone knew this set of procedures, because at that time, the Song Dynasty often won battles, but later, not many people knew about it.

Including when Renzong was preparing for the celebration banquet, he didn't even remember to say such a congratulatory message, and later found out after checking the previous information.

Renzong was really happy about this long-lost victory, so after he finished toasting three glasses of wine, he didn't immediately turn back to the inner court, but walked down and walked to the middle of the soldier's table, which made Yang Yi and other guards who were guarding Renzong's side nervous, and stared at the soldiers on both sides vigilantly with two eyes.
