During the more than ten days that Yang Zhi and Shen Yu went out of Beijing to play, the emperor gave a group wholesale reward to the senior generals of the entire Great Xia military. Almost every day, more than three holy decrees were sent to the armies of various parts of Bactria with an expedited rate of 800 li, which dazzled the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. What is intriguing is that Yang Zhi bears the name of the first fierce general of Great Xia, and is the iron-blooded benchmark of the Xia army set by the emperor, and there is not a word of nearly fifty holy decrees for promotion and reward.

The first two holy decrees were to praise Zhao Dang, the king of Ning, and Zhao Kang, the king of Kang, respectively, and rewarded a large amount of gold and silver wealth, not counting, and the symbolic political treatment of the two such as the living and ceremonial guards also reached a new level. In addition to the hereditary throne, King Ning also allowed him to choose any of his sons to be marquis.

The third holy decree is to commend the crown prince Zhao Heng for his "diligence, benevolence, and dedication to state affairs", and all the generals he nominated and appointed this time will be recognized. The next holy decree is to reward the promotion of more than 40 high-ranking generals.

The military of Bactria can be roughly divided into five major systems: the forbidden army, the king of Ning, the king of Kang, the army of Shuofang, and the local government soldiers. Yang Zhi was unfamiliar with the people, and he couldn't figure out the original positions of the more than 40 generals, and he didn't know which factions these people belonged to. But what he can be sure of is that the emperor used the name of the reward to completely disrupt and reshuffle the military's power structure, and only transferred generals without troops to minimize the cost. This trick of the tiger washing made the various factions unexpected, and they had nothing to say, which can not be described as unintelligent.

Chen Wenyuan, the former lieutenant of the Privy Council, retired due to old age, and transferred the captured general Wei Su to return to Beijing to take over. Zeng Yingming, the former deputy general of the forbidden army, was transferred to Shuofang to take over the position of Weisu, and Zhou Ting, another deputy general of the forbidden army, was promoted to the general of the forbidden army. Geng Chao was promoted to deputy general of the forbidden army, and his father Geng Jin was transferred to general Wuwei and stationed in Zhongzhou.

The newly built raid corps was divided into three: Dong Jian and Li Wei were both promoted to vanguard generals, each leading 10,000 elite cavalry to Shuofang to change defenses, and 20,000 forbidden troops were "exchanged" for 160,000 Shuofang troops to go south to Zhongzhou to assemble. Shen Zhong was promoted to the general of the cavalry and returned to Geng Jin's moderation, leading the original raid corps to march south with 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 cavalry, and commanding 30,000 troops to garrison Huainan.

Only a few of his confidants knew the emperor's full intentions: the emperor not only broke the hill raised by the various military forces, but also made corresponding strategic arrangements for the upcoming war to destroy the Tang Dynasty. This was a key battle related to the balance of power between Great Xia and Southern Chu, and the emperor planned to drive the expedition in person, with the crown prince in command. Geng Jin's appointment as the commander-in-chief of the army can be described as his ambition.

After Yang Zhi went to the official and demoted due to the Marquis An Guihou incident, he has always been a first-class marquis with no real position. It has been more than 30 years since the founding of the Great Xia, and many of the founding ministers and famous generals have passed away. There are many mediocre and incompetent people in his descendants, and there are many people who have lived a life in the merit book of their fathers. It seems that in addition to his fame, Yang Zhi is not much different from those second ancestors.

said that he had fallen out of favor, on the day of his wedding, the emperor almost moved to a small court to support him personally, and on the day of Chongyang, he also called him into the palace to drink. Let's say he's proud. But at home. The road of the conquest of the million Xia army is far from the end, and with such a fierce man idle, what does the emperor think? It's really hard to fathom the sacred heart, and the heavens are unpredictable!

In fact, Yang Zhi was not interested in this at all, or even at all. Although he was fearless of the emperor in his heart, he still had to abide by the rules of the game that he respected on the surface, so it could not be said that he drank with the emperor without any psychological barriers.

Until he entered the palace, Yang Zhi agreed with the principle of drinking as mentioned by Qin Gongyan: if the emperor has less truth, he can confidently adulterate more than three points of falsehood. I thought that drinking with the emperor would be a lie and a wit, and a glass of wine and a vigilance would be drunk. But that was not the case with the two of them.

The emperor set up a banquet for only two people in the daily living palace, leaving only Ma Cheng, a close attendant, to serve at the table. At the beginning, Yang Zhi still couldn't let go, and accompanied the emperor to talk nonsense on the scene.

The Emperor's attitude seemed to be extremely sincere, and he drank a lot of alcohol. Both of them drank to the point of dryness, and the emperor did not drink a drop less than Yang Zhi. It is said that the emperor is almost three times the age of Yang Zhi, and Yang Zhi also knows that he has taken a great advantage of drinking like today. Although he is not a drinker on weekdays, he has to bite the bullet and just pour it into his stomach.

After the last drop of wine in the second silver bottle was emptied, their tongues began to grow a little bigger. Yang Zhi hiccuped Erlang's legs. Knocked on the dishes on the table with chopsticks: "Old horse! …… Where do people die? Let's get some more appetizers! ”

"Yes, yes!" The emperor echoed: "The wine is gone, go and get me another bottle!" …… No, take ten more bottles! ”

Ma Cheng cautiously stepped forward and said with a smile: "Your Majesty." You're drunk, you see if it's ....... ”

Before the words fell, the emperor fanned over with a boss's ear scraper: "Aha? Dog minion! Are you in charge of me? Against you? If I tell you to go, you will go! ”

Ma Cheng knew that the two masters, the old man and the young man, would probably have to be completely drunk today before they were finished, so he had to follow their instructions with a bitter face.

"Yang Zhi, you little rabbit! I'm afraid I haven't drunk like this in more than 20 years, so I'm happy! It's a pleasure! ”

"Well, I've been in my mother's womb since I hit the womb. It's the first time I've drunk so much alcohol. The two of us are even, right? ”

"If you say it's flat, it's flat! Come, full, full! Dry! ”

The emperor and Yang Zhi drank one cup after another, and there was a nonsense that didn't match, and when they saw that the third silver bottle had bottomed out again, both of them gradually lost their shape.

"The ancient sages were all lonely, and only the drinkers left their names ....... Fart! The emperor's eyes were already straight, and he slapped the table heavily and said, "You know what? I'm not some bullshit sage...... But it's been so hard and lonely in the past few decades! ”

"Hehe, isn't there a saying that the master is lonely, and the king is lonely? Who...... Who called you the Emperor? You see a guy like my old man, he's probably as old as you, right? …… He was easy and happy every day, and that little day was really pleasant! ”

"Hehe, that's what I said. Who called me the emperor? …… Boy, what is your greatest wish in this life? ”

“…… Biggest wish? The wife and children are hot on the kang, and there are fish, meat, and wine. ”

"Bastard! Unpromising! You...... You should say that you can help me build thousands of miles of rivers and mountains! But the kind of day you're talking about, I've wanted to give it a try a long time ago....... ”

The boundaries between the majestic palace and the noisy and dirty vegetable market, the boundaries between age and status, became more and more blurred in the minds of the two. Seeing that the sky was about to get dark, Ma Cheng said very uninterestingly: "Your Majesty, you see that this palace gate is about to be spooned......." ”

"What's wrong with the palace gate? I'm going to drink another 300 cups with this guy! …… Get out of the way! ”

According to the prohibition system of the Great Xia Palace, foreign ministers are not allowed to stay in the palace after the palace gate is released. Even because of the urgent military affairs of 100,000 people, high-ranking officials and important ministers must leave the palace immediately after the emperor temporarily summons them in the middle of the night. Looking at this battle, I'm afraid I'll have to ask the guards to carry the Flying Tiger Marquis out of the palace and back to the house later.

Ma Cheng was depressed thinking about how to deal with the two drunken madmen later, only to see a small figure standing on tiptoe looking out of the window, and asked strangely, "His Royal Highness King Yue?" What are you doing here? ”
