But said that this national meeting, in a happy and warm atmosphere ended, Zhang Mai left in the crowd of soldiers, leaving the people did not kneel down, many people learned, to Zhang Mai military salute, but after all, they have not been trained, the military salute is a bit nondescript.

Wei Renpu looked at this qiē and said in his heart: "The marshal doesn't seem to like others to bow down, although his heart for treating people in Chicheng is touching, but the country's etiquette and education, it seems that he still has to work hard." ”

When Zheng Wei passed by, Wei Renpu took two steps and said in a low voice: "Zheng Xiang! ”

Zheng Wei said: "I know you have something to say, I am thinking, there will be a while when I turn back, and I will say it when I have something to say." ”

Wei Renpu secretly thought that Zheng Wei knew Zhang Mai better, so he held back many of his words, and hurriedly followed up.

――――――――――

As Zheng Wei expected, after the meeting of the Chinese people, Zhang Mai really stopped more than a dozen people and still returned to the camp. This time, in addition to the important military and political ministers, there are two more Zheng Ji and Naib - the Zheng family and the Nai family, which are the families that are most deeply involved in the economy of the entire Tiance Tang Dynasty, and their family interests have been inseparable from the Tiance regime. However, being able to be called by Zhang Mai to participate in such a small group gathering, Zheng Ji and Naib still felt a little flattered.

――――――――――

The meat dishes of the banquet are very simple, that is, three roasted whole sheep, each person has two large bowls of vegetables, a bowl of fruits, and wine on the side, Yang Dingguo's table specially prepared 10,000 minced meat - porridge, which is to take care of his old man's stomach.

After the things were arranged, Ma Xiaochun took all the servants away.

Zhang Mai smiled: "We had a meeting at noon. I'm hungry. Our country is getting bigger and bigger, there are many affairs, and it is not easy for everyone to meet, but there are more and more cumbersome etiquette, and this kind of dinner is even more rare. Well, the sheep is almost roasted, let's not let the next person do it, who will cut the meat. ”

Murong Chunhua got up and said, "I'll come!" ”

Ma Jirong said: "You cut the meat, I will divide it." ”

Yang Guangyuan exclaimed: "How dare you do this!" ”

Murong Chunhua and Ma Jirong had already stood up, and Zhang Mai smiled: "If you don't dare to be." How about General Lao Guangyuan's job as a wine secretary? ”

If it is placed on another occasion. It would be an insult to let yourself pour wine, but now there is no one in the big tent, Murong Chunhua cuts sheep, and Ma Jirong divides the meat. Zhang Mai let himself pour wine, which was to show closeness. Yang Guangyuan stood up happily. Pick up the flask and walk to Zhang Mai first.

Zhang Mai said: "At the banquet, Uncle Yang will go first." Yang Dingguo did not refuse.

Yang Guangyuan walked towards Yang Dingguo, Yang Dingguo has not drunk much in the past two years. But today I was in a good mood, and let Yang Guangyuan fill it up. When Guo Wei was poured, Yang Dingguo said: "Change the bowl!" The dignified General Guo, how can you drink wine from a cup! I'm old, otherwise I wouldn't need a cup! ”

Guo Wei smiled, went to the outside of the tent and took a few bowls and distributed them to the generals present.

Zhang Mai smiled again: "The wine was transported by Tycoon Zheng from the other side of the river, and the wine there is the best in the world!" The sheep are produced in the pasture of the Nadai family, and they are said to be the best among the meat sheep. So this meal is not my treat, it is the two of them. How about we salute him first for this first glass of wine? ”

Whether it is according to identity, age or intimacy, the first glass of wine is not the turn to pay tribute to Zheng Jinaibu, but Zhang Mai is casually respected, and the atmosphere in the big tent is lively.

Yang Guangyuan, An Xianqi, Fan Zhen, Wei Renpu and others participated in this kind of dinner for the first time, and they were relatively restrained at first, but they observed their words and looks, and when they saw that Zhang Mai and Yang Dingguo were casual, they also learned to be casual. Zhang Mai told a few jokes, and Yang Guangyuan would be funny, so he also told two of them.

The generals drank wine in large bowls, ate meat in large bowls, and drank wine in large bowls, with a little scruples.

Cao Yuanzhong is a member of the Shazhou family, although he is a military general, his daily actions are similar to those of a scribe, but at this time, he pretended to be rude and mixed with Murong Chunhua and Ma Jirong.

Zheng Wei thought that the dishes were rough and didn't eat much, so he reclined down (Ma Xiaochun had prepared a mink bench for him), held a moonlight cup (he was the only one in the whole tent), and drank wine lightly.

Guo Wei also ate a lot, but from the beginning to the end, the waist pole was as straight as a horizontal knife, and he almost didn't speak, and some people toasted him until the bowl was empty, but he didn't take the initiative to respect people.

After eating this meal for nearly an hour, Ma Xiaochun brought someone to clean up and retreat, Zhang Mai said: "Shi Jingjiao Meng Chang and them, most of them still have singing and dancing after they are full of wine and food, and we have to finish things when we are full." ”

Zheng Wei was already sitting upright when Ma Xiaochun was cleaning up the pots and pans, and Yang Guangyuan An Xianqi guessed that he was about to talk about business.

Sure enough, I heard Zhang Mai say: "Today's meeting of the Chinese people, the tone set is just a general direction, what to do next, I want to hear your thoughts." ”

Yang Guangyuan said: "The marshal is wise and far-sighted, what you let us do, we will do it." ”

Fan Zhen's brows furrowed suddenly, thinking about how this person was like this, Zhang Mai snorted, and didn't blame him, nor did he approve of him, just didn't say a word.

――――――――――

After Yang Guangyuan opened this cavity, there was no second person, and the tent was cold for a while.

Wei Renpu looked at Zhang Mai, and then at Zheng Wei, then knelt up, turned half of his body to face Zhang Mai - why did he kneel? He was sitting, at this time the calves were attached to the velvet blanket on the ground, the thighs and waist rods were straight line, although he knelt but did not have the slightest humiliation, he had figured out that Zhang Mai did not like to kneel and worship, but still stubbornly believed that between the monarch and the minister, in state affairs can not be rude, so he used ancient etiquette to deal with it.

Sure enough, when Zhang Mai saw him like this, he was not too casual, and he also knelt and sat up, and his hands naturally rested on his knees.

Zhang Mai is like this, and others have to follow suit.

This time, Wei Renpu attracted everyone's attention.

――――――――――

At today's national meeting, when Yang Dingguo knelt down, it was not Zheng Wei, Lu Jialing, Ma Jirong, but Wei Renpu who dared to stand up for Yang Dingguo under Zhang Mai's coercion, and now, when Zhang Mai seemed to be about to change direction, it was Wei Renpu who stood up.

Wei Renpu, who is over 30 years old. Before the Battle of Guanzhong in Mobei, he experienced the power struggle within the Tiance Datang as a participant, and as an opponent of the war, he became the person who was beaten into the "cold palace" in the eyes of everyone, and then was arranged to Zheng Wei's side, and experienced the intensity of the political training during this period of time, and now he is no longer comparable to the time in terms of vision, ability and mastery of the current situation.

In full view of everyone, Wei Renpu said: "What the marshal said at the meeting of the people. Fair and square. Admirable. However, the loyalty of General Yang Yi and the prestige of the marshal have their own accidents, and the absolute trust between the marshal and General Yang can be used as a story for the ages. And it cannot be used as the spirit of the founding of the country. ”

Yang Guangyuan and Cao Yuanzhong were all taken aback. Thinking this person is crazy? The marshals have already set the tone. Do you dare to come out and make trouble at this time? Who are you?

Several generals glared at him, not to mention that someone like Yang Guangyuan who figured out his intentions was a famous general like Murong Chunhua. When Zhang Mai is there, it is often as if he has lost himself, only taking Zhang Mai's will as his will, and seeing that this civil official dares to question the marshal, his first reaction is to resist.

Zhang Mai lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then raised it again, and asked, "Why?" ”

Being stared at by Murong Chunhua and other generals who have survived a hundred battles is already a huge pressure, let alone facing Zhang Mai, at this time, if Wang Pu is replaced, even if he is a jinshi, I am afraid that he will be suppressed for a while.

But Wei Renpu seemed to have the courage and self-confidence to resist this kind of pressure, and said eloquently in the eyes of everyone: "The prestige of the marshal is rare in ancient and modern times, and the loyalty of General Yang Yi is rare in history!" Therefore, His Majesty believed that the marshal would be able to ensure the loyalty of the whole army, and General Yang Yi would be able to win the trust of the world. But the country and the army are often there, and the marshal and General Yang are not born! Today, the marshal can delegate power to make the eagle raise the flag and run rampant in Mobei, but the country in the next life cannot indulge the military generals to dictate outside! The marshal's trust in General Yang today is a special case, and cannot become a rule, otherwise even if it is effective today, it will be a disaster for future generations! An Lushan's rebellion, Shi Jingjiao's rebellion, is not far away Yin Jian, Wei Renpu is not talented, and Marshal Fu begged to think twice! ”

――――――――――

At this level, although his words were sincere, his disagreement with the direction set by Zhang Mai was fully revealed.

Yang Guangyuan felt that this scholar surnamed Wei really didn't know what to do, but An Xianqi admired Wei Renpu for daring to go against the current, and Lu Jialing felt that there was no need to discuss this issue at this time, as long as it could be guaranteed that it would not cause the morale of the front-line soldiers to fluctuate, wouldn't it? As for the future military and political order, we can wait until after the Armageddon. From this point of view, although Lu Jialing is witty and resourceful, his long-term political vision is insufficient.

Yang Guangyuan saw Zhang Mai's unhappy face, and immediately shouted: "The marshal is wise and sacred, rare in ancient and modern times, Master Wei, you dare to question the marshal's decision, it is really bold!" "It's called speculation.

Cao Yuanzhong was also displeased: "The marshal's decision has never been missed, what qualifications do you have to dare to question the marshal's decision?" Are you better than a marshal? "It's called Protector Speculation!

On the side, Fan Zhen suddenly interjected: "A wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, even if the marshal is sage, why can't he tolerate it?" ”

Lu Jialing said: "Having said that, but these things, I think it is not too late to wait for the front-line soldiers to triumph, and discuss them with General Yang and General Xue, for now, let's act in the direction set by the marshal." ”

"Empty words can never compare to a fait accompli!" Wei Renpu said: "If the powerful ministers appear in the future, what they will be staring at will not be an empty talk that we discussed afterwards, but only the actions of the marshal in this decisive battle." Whether it is a law or a commandment, there is no fact, it will only be a dead letter. And what we do today is a precedent for future generations! ”

"This ......" Lu Jialing said, "Is it so strict?" ”

Fan said: "Since ancient times, it has been like this. ”

Yang Guangyuan and Cao Yuanzhong still wanted to suppress people with power, and suddenly Zheng Wei spoke, obviously supporting Wei Renpu and said: "Daoji's words are what I want to say." In the light of today's events, what the marshal just said is correct. But in terms of eternal matters, I think the marshal's decision is debatable! ”

Hearing Fan Zhen, Wei Renpu and Zheng Wei say this one after another, Zhang Mai lowered his head, as if thinking.

Wei Renpu saw that Zhang Mai did not react excessively, and continued: "Although the marshal absolutely trusts General Yang, if he wants to legislate for all generations, he must not be cautious in handling this matter, and I also ask the marshal to think twice and set an example for future generations to follow!" ”

Zhang Mai raised his head and asked, "Do you think you should do this?" ”

Wei Renpu: "The minister thinks that it is really a good plan to let General Yang's eldest son go to the army. At the same time, however, it is necessary to implement three strategies: first, send a supervisory army from the center to inspect the situation on the battlefield ahead; Second, divide the military and political power of Mobei, and divide the power of Mobei with important ministers; Third, collect the grain and salary in Mobei, and a heavy minister will supervise the logistics to share the worries of General Yang. ”

Zhang Mai looked around at the generals in the tent and said, "What do you think?" ”

Murong Chunhua looked at Ma Jirong, their thinking was a little unable to keep up with Wei Renpu, if it was strategy and tactics on the battlefield, Murong Chunhua could actually be regarded as a wise general, but this was a military talent, and when he came to the political field, he was not his strength. Ma Jirong was able to return to Khotan, and sat steadily all the way to today's position, and his political wisdom was naturally not bad, but he still maintained his usual style - keeping his mouth shut.

In Cao Yuanzhong's place, he actually felt that for Zhang Mai, the generals who had military power would have to be cut sooner or later, and he just reprimanded Wei Renpu for showing loyalty, but since Zhang Mai didn't seem to be disgusted with Wei Renpu, he was so happy not to speak, but he didn't do it if he wanted him to express his support for him.

The eyes of all the generals finally converged on Yang Dingguo.

Yang Dingguo groaned and said, "This ...... It's not impossible. ”

Zhang Mai has already expressed his attitude at the national meeting, as long as Zhang Mai still maintains his trust in Yang Yi and his tolerance for the Yang family, Yang Dingguo has nothing else to fight for. After all, he is an old-school soldier, and his loyalty to the monarch is deeply rooted in his bone marrow, as long as it is beneficial to the country, he will not resent them if he cuts them Yang family.

Not to mention that Wei Renpu's statement just now was not aimed at Yang Yi, nor at the Yang family, but for the sake of the country's great cause, this young man's performance at the national meeting had already won Yang Dingguo's favor, and then listening to his analysis in an orderly and reasonable manner, Yang Dingguo did not have the kind of conflict between the civil and military forces.

Guo Wei, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke at this time and said: "Supervising the army, decentralizing power, and collecting salaries, this is probably the first step." After the decisive victory, it is probably necessary to dismiss the military people, separate the soldiers and generals, and even collect the money from the troops, right? ”

Wei Renpu's heart sank, thinking that among the generals, there was such a sharp character! But he didn't intend to hide it, so he said, "Not bad! After the world is peaceful, it is natural to cultivate the literature and release the Nanshan Mountain! This has been the case since time immemorial! ”

Guo Wei slapped the table and stood up suddenly, he sat like a pine and cypress not moving, this stood up, the whole person was like a volcano containing flames, pointed at Wei Renpu and said in a deep voice: "This is the way for literati to lose sight, self-destruct the Great Wall, and defeat a weak country!" ”
