"Emperor of the North, aren't you going to see your subordinates?"

"No, it's his own suffering."

Emperor Han was expressionless, unmoved, and didn't even look back at Zhan.

Zhan has no resentment towards Emperor Han, he knows why Emperor Han doesn't look back at him, if he is so bullied on weekdays, Emperor Han will definitely stand up for him.

But in this case, it is indeed a matter of war itself.

Before coming in, Emperor Han had said to talk less, but Zhan didn't hold back and said something that shouldn't have been said.

At that time, the battle was a moment of anger, and then he said that to stimulate the hidden dragon, but he was caught by the two guards beside the hidden dragon.

Therefore, he can be regarded as admitting the beating later, but his hatred for the hidden dragon will never dissipate.

Zhan is clear that if Emperor Han wants to stand up for him, it will inevitably intensify the contradiction with Qianlong, and on this occasion, basically whoever turns his face first will be at a disadvantage.

This is the Forbidden City, and most of them are supporters of the Hidden Dragon!

These tens of thousands of people are enough to represent the public opinion and public opinion of the entire Great Flower.

As long as they say something, then there is something circulating in the market.

When the time comes, Qianlong will convict Emperor Han with a word, and then these tens of thousands of people will spread public opinion, and then everyone in the world will believe that Emperor Han is a sinner, and try to murder the court's ministers at the Ten Thousand Battles Celebration Banquet!

This is a great sin, and it is not an exaggeration to condemn it to death!

on the field.

As the singers and dancers retreated, silence returned.

Now it's time to reward meritorious deeds.

Since it is a celebration banquet, it is natural to eat and drink.

Zhang Zhengyong ordered the imperial dining room to serve the food, and then the well-trained maids appeared from all around, and the delicacies were placed on the table in front of each guest in turn.

The variety of dishes is overwhelming, and visitors are attracted by the tantalizing aroma.

Zhang Zhengyong said: "Everyone, the following is the time to reward meritorious deeds, and at the same time, everyone is also enjoying the banquet while celebrating these heroes who have returned!" ”

The voice fell.

Everyone can start using their chopsticks and enjoy the food in front of them.

In front of Emperor Han, there are also delicate and small delicacies, these delicacies are not many, each one is a person, and there is a maid behind him to take down the plate at any time.

"Emperor of the North, please!"

Qianlong looked at Emperor Han and spoke slowly.

Emperor Han lifted the chopsticks and pinched down a soft glutinous ball in front of him, the balls were wrapped in a clear soup, small and exquisite, put it in the mouth, melt in the mouth, and people couldn't help but admire the chef's whimsy.

"Not bad."

"To be recognized by the Emperor of the North, these chefs of the Imperial Dining Room will be very happy to know about it."

The other side.

In the middle of the seats for 10,000 people, there is a red-carpeted road that leads to the main hall.

From Emperor Han's point of view, in front of him is an open area of the red carpet.

There is a raised platform, which is specially used to reward meritorious officers, and it is called the Battle Medal Stand!

In front of the battle platform, there are maids and ministers in the Forbidden City who are in charge of rewards.

"Let's start rewarding the officers and men of the three armies for meritorious deeds!"

"First of all, the first one, please ask the former northern warrior and veteran Tang Ba to come up and receive the reward!"

Then, from the table of 10,000 people, a tall and mighty man got up with a smile on his face and waved his hand to everyone around him.

Emperor Han looked at it, it was the Tang Ba of Emperor Ling Pavilion.

Because after Emperor Han came to Beijing, in order to avoid trouble, he did not take the initiative to contact the matter of the imperial army.

So for Tang Ba to appear here, it is naturally unclear.

Tang Ba waved around with a smile on his face, and then walked towards the standing platform.

However, under his smile was a deep thought.

This time he was invited to go to the Forbidden City in Beijing to discuss meritorious deeds, and it was also the task given to him by Liu Jiedu's envoy, he needed to inquire about the situation inside, and then the inside and outside should be combined, and when the "emperor" gave an order, he needed to kill out and open the Forbidden City gate!

And he is in charge of the Shenwu Sect!

Not only was he invited to the Forbidden City alone, but among these 10,000 people, there were also many members of the imperial army hidden, waiting to tear their identities at a critical moment!

Tang Ba stood on the battle platform, smiling and tilting his head, looking very proud and proud.

He saw Emperor Han in the middle of the wooden table in front of the main hall, smiled slightly, and then looked away, pretending not to see it.

In front of him, the minister who was responsible for reciting meritorious deeds and rewards, named Pang Wen, was under the command of the Ministry of Rites.

The maid next to him held the medal conferred, ready to be awarded to the warrior who was awarded the battle medal.

"The veteran Tang Ba used to be an excellent soldier in the north, and after retiring, seeing the chaos in Cloud City, he stepped forward and led the veteran to quell the chaos of the Qian family, and awarded him a third-class battle medal!"

Within the Great China Kingdom, there are five levels of battle medals.

Among them, the higher the merit level, and the person who can obtain the first-level battle medal, I am afraid that only the sixth-level commander who commands an army is eligible to obtain it.

Therefore, with Tang Ba, a retired veteran, being able to obtain a third-class battle medal is already a great respect.

Tang Ba smiled and was about to receive the medal that belonged to him, but Pang Wen in front of him spoke.

"Please Tang Ba kneel down and receive the third-level battle medal that belongs to you."

Hearing this, Tang Ba was stunned for a moment.

Because he had never received such a level of merit, and he had never heard of the need to kneel down to receive an award.

"Do you kneel down to receive your prize?"

Tang Ba asked Pang Wen in a low voice, thinking if he had heard it wrong.

However, Pang Wen said with a serious face: "Please Tang Ba kneel down to receive the third-level battle medals that belong to you, only in this way can you show your respect for the third-level battle medals!" ”

However, there have been precedents for canonization on the battlefield in the past, but there has never been a precedent for kneeling down to be canonized.

Originally, Pang Wen had been following the Ministry of Rites for many years, and he knew all about the rules and customs of the Forbidden City, but this time Pang Wen suddenly received an order from the Ministry of Rites, asking for an additional step to kneel down and accept the canonization process on top of the original canonization ceremony.

Although Pang Wen was surprised, he still did it, and in this public occasion, he still had to act as a matter of course.

Although Tang Ba felt that something was wrong, but because of the overall situation, he could only kneel down, and in order not to show flaws, he had to show a smile on his face to express the joy in his heart.

Pang Wen saw Tang Ba kneeling down, stepped forward and hung the ribbon of the third-class medal on Tang Ba's chest, Tang Ba looked down and saw that there was a golden medal of the third-class battle medal.

Emperor Han stared at the scene of the battle medallion, his eyes moving slightly.

Then he glanced at the hidden dragon next to him, and found that the hidden dragon was showing a mysterious smile on his face.

Immediately, Emperor Han knew that this scene of kneeling down to accept the battle medal was arranged by Qianlong single-handedly.

What a murderous strategy!

In front of so many people, letting this warlord kneel down to accept the reward is said to be the solemnity of the ceremony, but in fact it is humiliation and contempt for this group of warlords!

In the audience, others were also surprised when they saw this scene.

Some people are coming for the first time, and some people have already experienced the scene of canonization.

Gongsun Shilong showed a surprised look, he also knew and was familiar with Tang Ba, knowing that this was a very upright but good-hearted hero.

"Father, is there still a process of kneeling down in this battle medal canonization?"

He leaned close to his father and whispered.

Gongsun Xuanba had a solemn expression on his face, and he shook his head slowly, but the amplitude was extremely small, and only Gongsun Shilong, who was closest to him, could see clearly.

Suddenly, Gongsun Xuanba thought of something bad, he didn't care about hiding his posture, and turned his head to look at Gongsun Shilong.

"Shilong, tell you honestly, who is that friend you are talking about?"

The first time Gongsun Shilong saw his father's expression, he felt a little scared, and his father was always calm no matter how critical he was.

But he had never looked so out of shape for a moment.

"Don't keep it a secret anymore, just tell me where he is now!"

Gongsun Xuanba was looking forward to it in his heart, expecting Gongsun Shilong not to point out the person he was thinking about.

Then, Gongsun Shilong didn't dare to keep it secret anymore, but cautiously pointed his hand and pointed towards the central table outside the gate of the main hall.

"Father, the one next to the hidden dragon is my friend."

Gongsun Xuanba looked at Gongsun Shilong's finger, and then heard what was coming out of his mouth.

Suddenly, Gongsun Xuanba's face appeared like ashes, an extremely ugly expression!

The last thing he wanted to think about had come true!

Because he guessed that maybe this celebration banquet of ten thousand battles was a banquet for the hidden dragon to kill this group of heroes!
