Although Zhou Qian has never asked about political affairs, he is full of gratitude to Fang Ling in his heart, and secondly, he does think that Fang Ling's talent is far above that of his younger brother Fang Ce, and now this celebration banquet is only Fang Ce, which is really a little unfair.

Of course, Zhou Qian is not the only one who feels that things are unfair, under the princes and relatives, there are hundreds of civil and military officials sitting on the left and right, and the civil ministers are divided into three factions, one is the force headed by the prime minister Cui Yixuan, Cui Yixuan has great power, and there are six departments of work, punishment, soldiers, rites, households, and officials, all of which are looking forward to their horses, since their daughter Cui Xiaoxiao married Fang Ce, they naturally formed a force with Queen Song, and gave advice to them, and their power rose sharply.

The second is to support Fang Ling's Taibao Xue Zhiqiu and Dali Siqing Yao Jing and others, this group of people are all from the scribes, a high body, although the power is weak, but the reputation is greater than the previous one, and the prestige among the world's scholars is extremely high, which can be described as a hundred responses.

For not inviting the king of Shicheng over for this celebration, everyone looked sullen, just waiting for the opportunity to write a book again.

As for the third neutral force, because Zhou Qian, the Marquis of Xinyi, supported Fang Ling back then, coupled with Fang Ling's achievements in the past three years, he also tended to support Fang Ling, but no one wanted to be a leader in provoking Cui Yixuan and Empress Song.

On the side of the generals, the four major generals of the southeast, northwest and northwest rarely gathered together, plus the hussar generals, auxiliary generals and Zhenguo generals, these high-ranking and powerful people, made this banquet even more weighty.

Everyone sat down, the wine and the good food came up one after another, Fang Hongtian raised the wine glass, and said loudly: "Now that the rebellion of the eight kings has subsided, the rebels bow down, the emperor can finally sleep peacefully, all of you Aiqing are meritorious ministers, but it doesn't hurt to drink freely today." ”

Everyone shouted in unison to thank Lord Longen, and the military attachés and military attachés all dried up the contents of the wine in one gulp.

Empress Song said softly: "Your Majesty, since everyone is a meritorious minister, can you just praise it like this, the rebellion of the eight kings has caused unrest in the people's livelihood, the war has been plagued one after another, how many people have been displaced, and the suffering is unspeakable. ”

Fang Hongtian laughed out loud and praised directly: "The queen is really benevolent and virtuous, you are very right, this emperor should treat the people well." ”

He looked around, groaned slightly, and said loudly, "Hu Yansong listens to the reward." ”

Hu Yansong, the general of the south, immediately walked out of the banquet and knelt down in the hall, Fang Hongtian smiled slightly and said: "Hu Yanqing has shown his might in the south, and the people have praised you, and the emperor will reward you with a thousand taels of gold, a hundred good horses, ten boxes of silk and satin, and ten boxes of pearls and jade, and give Hu Yanqing the title of marquis." ”

Hu Yansong was immediately overjoyed, thanked him repeatedly, and then retreated to the seat, Fang Hongtian said again: "Huang Longhu listens to the reward." ”

Huang Longhu, the general of the East, strode out, knelt on the ground, Fang Hongtian said with a smile: "Huang Qing's family guards the throat of my emperor's land in the east, and the merit is very high, this emperor will reward you with a thousand taels of gold, a hundred good horses, ten boxes of silk, ten boxes of pearls and jade, and give the Marquis of Wanguo." ”

Huang Longhu knelt down calmly and returned to the banquet, and then, Fang Hongtian called out all the important ministers who participated in the war one by one and gave them rich rewards, Fang Ce couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he saw that his father had not called himself.
