Chapter Eighty-Five: Generals Gather in Beijing
"General, the last general went to Pengdi this time to investigate the family background of Vice General Qu, and touched all the people related to him, and they can match Vice General Qu's remarks, and they have not found anything wrong." The soldiers who were sent by Ning Zeqing came to report before.
"General, are you doubting Mingli's identity?" Ban Fei was surprised on the side.
Ning Zeqing said to the soldier, "You go down." ”
The soldier retreated, but Ban Fei still couldn't let go.
"General, why do you suspect Ming Li, he returned with your conscription, and he has a meritorious escort, and there is nothing missing in this outing. Why do you suspect him? Besides, the background of the new recruit has been investigated before, so why did he investigate him again? ”
Ning Zeqing's expression was indifferent: "He has a lot of martial arts and literary strategies, and this is where I doubt him." You can see which small people in the market will know the background of the hundred countries clearly. ”
Ban Fei was speechless for a moment and couldn't argue.
"Okay, now that the investigation has been cleared, there is no need to be suspicious."
Ban Fei was stumped in his heart, thinking that the general was suspicious of Mingli, he was not very comfortable.
At this time, Qu Mingli came back from his errands: "General Hui, all the generals have arrived in Beijing this morning, and the uncle and the general Zhennan are currently entering the palace to see the king, and General Wei is slightly unwell due to the long journey, and has been placed in the palace to rest. ”
After Qu Ming finished reporting, neither of them spoke. Qu Mingli noticed that Ban Fei's expression was different, and he didn't look at him directly, thinking that the two of them had said something that was inappropriate for him to listen to, so he didn't ask about it.
There are five major Zhenguan generals on the border, General Zhenguan You is in charge of border affairs, and General Zhenbei Yan has strong troops, which is also because the north borders many countries, there are more frictions, and the required troops have to keep up. On the other hand, General Zhennan Jiao is also the brother-in-law of the current king, so he is weaker in terms of force, and it is inevitable to rely on the sea, and he has always been peaceful. To the east of the town is the king's younger brother, that is, the uncle king, since the current king ascended the throne, he went to the east to defend a piece of land, and his temperament was idle. In addition, there is General Yao in Zhenxi.
The generals returned to Beijing once in three years to report on the important border matters in the past three years, and if there is anything that needs to be improved, it is better to report it as soon as possible.
This is also a rare time for the generals to gather.
The king and the dormitory summoned the generals, and their faces could not hide the joy, these generals were the key figures in the strong army of the sub-attack.
"This year, the generals have brought happy events to the king, first General Lin has dealt with the insect plague in the south and the drought in the north, General Zhenbei has cleared a small number of bandits to make trouble, and General Ning has brought back the good news that all ethnic groups have returned to obedience. My son attacked the country and the people were strong, thanks to the intentions of the generals. The king of Ming was very happy.
General Wei Zhan was a little uncomfortable and coughed: "It's a pity that the old minister is old and can't help the king." ”
General Wei is a hero of the three dynasties, and King Ming naturally won't ask for anything, so he walked to his side and put it on his shoulder to show comfort: "General Wei's military exploits, no one can match it here, where can it not help, don't be humble, don't be humble." ”
The other generals also respected General Wei very much and bowed their heads one after another.
"This is the new gold and jade treasure of the Lian Kingdom, and I will reward you for your hard work."
The king of Ming ordered people to present the gold and jade of the reward to you.
Ning Zeqing saw that these gold and jade were clean and clean, and thought of the dispute involving the land, and asked: "I don't know how the king will deal with the battle between Lian and Youfeng?" ”
King Ming replied: "The war between the two kingdoms has ended, and the people involved in the land are happy to be governed by the Lian country, so why should others stop it." ”
Besides, Lian is the richest country, if you offend him, it may not be of any benefit to Zi Xi, this is something that everyone knows.
Subsequently, King Ming specially instructed General Yuxiong to properly place the generals' soldiers and horses in the capital, so as not to make mistakes, and everyone dispersed to wait for tomorrow to go to court.
Out of the palace, he met the prince Shi Shu, who was rushing here.
Shi Shu has been very happy in recent days, for the sake of his uncle's entry into the palace. He has had a good relationship with his uncle since he was a child, but his uncle has been guarding the border all the year round, and he rarely returns to the capital to get together, and the last time he saw him was the Mid-Autumn Festival last year. This time he returned to Beijing to report on his work, and the prince naturally would not let go of this opportunity.
When Shi Shu saw General Wei, he saluted first and asked, "I wonder if Wei Qin came to Beijing with the general?" I said goodbye in a hurry last time, and I haven't had time to make a goodbye appointment. ”
General Wei Zhan's face was rare and unspeakable: "She didn't come with the old minister. But...... I don't know if there was anything wrong with her last time, she seemed a little annoyed after she went back, and she was locked in the room for three days and didn't come out. ”
"This ...... Zeqing, do you remember any place where you snubbed her? Shi Shu asked.
Ning Zeqing also shook his head.
"That's it, that's it, it's just a girl's temperament, the prince should not take this to heart."
Shi Shu smiled slightly, and asked General Jiao about his aunt's recent situation, and then pulled his uncle and said, "Uncle Wang, I recently got a new book dedicated to fallacies, which is very interesting, you can also take a look." ”
Shi Shu dragged his uncle away, causing everyone to laugh at their uncle and nephew for having a good relationship, and they didn't have any life at all.
On the second day, the generals officially went to the court, knocked on the king of Ming, handed over the excerpts of the affairs of the army in the past three years, as a post, the king of Ming praised you, and also mentioned the gift of gold and jade treasures, and the ministers congratulated.
When Prime Minister Wen heard that General Yuxiong's old man was also rewarded, he snorted coldly, and was very uneven, and was listened to by Ning Zeqing.
After the court, Ning Zeqing specially invited Lord Wen gradually to come to the mansion as a guest, and Wen gradually agreed.
The tea cooked in Ningfu is the Junshan white tip given by the emperor, and the tea set is the Longshan white pottery given by the emperor, and it is placed on the table, and it is still the white jade of Lianguo given by the emperor.
Wen gradually saw this battle and asked, "What does General Ning mean by this?" ”
Ning Zeqing motioned for him to sit down: "I saw that Lord Wen seemed to be very fond of this golden and jade vessel today, so I wanted to give this to Lord Wen, and I hope that Lord Wen will not refuse." ”
Wen gradually put down the tea bowl in his hand and said with a smile: "I like this white jade vessel, but there is no one at home, and before, the king also rewarded me." I'm angry that Uo's old puppet has no merit in the army, but is only responsible for the defense and protection of the capital, so why should he get the same reward as me and the generals. ”
"Oh, why do I think that Bun-sama seems to have great admiration for Uo-sama?" Ning Zeqing clasped the tea bowl and said.
Wen gradually looked at him with an unpredictable expression, and asked, "I don't know where General Ning saw it?" ”
"Bun-sama and U-oh-sama have been in the same dynasty for more than 20 years, but they have never really participated in political affairs. According to the temperament of Lord Wen, this should be admiration. ”
Wen gradually smiled and continued to drink tea: "I don't know why General Ning came to me today, it's not to give this golden jade vessel, right?" ”
Only then did Ning Zeqing say rightly: "I want to know about the affairs of the countries of the Keli Alliance. ”
