After leveling the old Zhu Zhu Di and others, Zhu Houzhao seized the time to completely control the territories of various dynasties.

There is no shortage of manpower and material resources, there is no shortage of official reserves, and although there are some obstacles in handling affairs, the overall situation is very good.

Soon after, Li Jing, Yue Fei, Qi Jiguang, Hu Dakui and other generals returned to the court, and Zhu Houzhao held a celebration banquet in the Wuying Hall to reward hundreds of civil and military officials.

Wu Yingdian celebration banquet, Lao Zhu, Zhu Di, Zhu Biao, Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Zhanji and others are also invited.

Although everyone in the old Zhu family is a defeated, they have a special status, and there is nothing wrong with attending the celebration banquet. What's more, the name of the celebration banquet is to celebrate the unification of mountains and rivers, and it is also related to the future pattern of the Ming Dynasty.

The local civil and military ministers of the Taiwu Dynasty, such as Yang Yiqing, Yang Tinghe, Wang Wei, Fei Hong, Liang Chu, Yan Song and others sat on one side.

Lao Zhu, Zhu Di and others, as well as the ministers of various dynasties, sat on the other side, and the two were clearly distinguished, showing a polarized trend.

Zhu Houzhao unified the 16th Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, and the power of the civil and military officials of the Taiwu Dynasty naturally rose, all of them were smiling and proud.

And Lao Zhu Zhu Di and others, the country has been lost, it is strange that they can be in a good mood, and those ministers of various dynasties are even more mournful, one by one, as if they have eaten a dead mouse, and their faces are extremely ugly.

Zhu Houzhao is famous, and his attitude towards civil officials is very unfriendly, and I don't know what Zhu Houzhao will do with them?

Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong, Yang Xian, San Yang, Xia Yuanji, Gao Gong, Shen Shixing, Ye Xianggao, and other top civil officials of various dynasties were all worried, and felt that the future was bright.

On the one hand, the atmosphere is lively and noisy, laughter comes and goes, and on the other hand, the taste is the same as chewing wax, absent-mindedly, in the strange atmosphere, the celebration banquet is gradually coming to an end.

I ate the delicacies of the mountains and seas, drank the wine and jade liquid, and it was the turn of the most critical reward. At the behest of Zhu Houzhao, Liu Jin held a scroll of holy decrees in his hand, stepped onto the high platform, and read aloud: "Li Jing, the commander of the Wuwei Army, has made great achievements since the army, and has made indelible contributions to the great cause of the unification of our dynasty. ”

“...... Yue Fei, Mu Guogong! ”

“...... Qi Jiguang, Ning Guogong! ”

“...... Hu Dakui, Zhen Guogong! ”

“...... Su Dingfang, Wu Pinghou. ”

“...... Liu Lu, Pingxi Hou! ”

“...... Chen Jiuchou, Guangping Hou! ”

“...... Chen Wu, Marquis of Liewu! ”....... Zhu Houzhao, who has always been quite stingy with the knighthood, was surprisingly generous this time, and sealed the four dukes and twenty-eight marquis in one go, all of whom were generals who made great contributions in the war of unification.

Of course, whether it is the fourth duke or the twenty-eighth marquis, they cannot be hereditary, and the hereditary title is easy to breed moths, just like the former nobles, Zhu Houzhao will definitely not allow it.

The old Zhu family has no merit and cannot be crowned king, and these generals don't want to eat in the merit book for a lifetime, if they want to inherit the title of their ancestors, the descendants of those generals must go to the battlefield to make contributions.

In Zhu Houzhao's eyes, there is no truth that the work of one generation will be passed down for several generations, let alone raise waste that can only eat white rice.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The generals led by Li Jing, Hu Dakui, Yue Fei, and Qi Jiguang kowtowed and thanked them. Among the generals, it is not that there are no people who are dissatisfied with their titles, but no one dares to blow up with Zhu Houzhao.

On the side, Lao Zhu Zhudi and others felt very uncomfortable, the titles of the generals of the Taiwu Dynasty were exchanged for their country.

lowered his head and drank stuffy wine, as depressed as he wanted, but he had no choice but to silently greet Zhu Houzhao over and over again.

"My dynasty can unify the Ming Dynasty and achieve the great cause of shaking thousands of years, thanks to the great help of the people, this cup, I respect you." Zhu Houzhao got up slowly, looked at Li Jing and many other generals, and said solemnly, holding a wine glass in his hand, and then drank it all.

The hearts of the generals were touched, and they also picked up the wine glass and drank it all, there was no trace left, and all the feelings between the monarchs and ministers were all in the wine, and there was no need to repeat too many words.

Zhu Houzhao turned to look at Yang Yiqing, Yang Tinghe and other civil ministers of the six cabinets, and said with a smile: "If there is no good mediation for the ministers to create strong war conditions for the generals, our dynasty will not be able to unify the Ming Dynasty in a short period of time, and I also need to pay tribute to the ministers." Since the defeat of the dynasties and the unification of the Ming Dynasty, the strength of the military department has expanded rapidly, which has made the ministers of the six ministries of the cabinet feel a serious sense of crisis, but as soon as Zhu Hou said this, everyone's nervous hearts relaxed a lot.

The emperor still valued them very much, and did not focus all his energy on the military department, and there was no possibility that the military department would overpower the cabinet.

What the emperor wants is a balance between civil and military! Thinking of the key, a group of civil ministers from the six departments of the cabinet hurriedly responded: "Your Majesty is eloquent and strategic, and he dominates the Ming Dynasty, and the ministers can make a modest contribution to His Majesty's great cause, and they are also honored." Two glasses of wine temporarily resolved the civil and military imbalance caused by the unification of mountains and rivers, and Zhu Houzhao was in a very good mood.

The gaze was like an eagle falcon, sharp and majestic, sweeping over everyone present, including the old Zhu Zhudi, and said in a serious tone: "The sixteen dynasties of the Ming Dynasty are unified, although it is gratifying and congratulatory, but we must not relax on this, the heavens are boundless, if you do not advance, you will retreat, and we and other monarchs and ministers still need to work together to create the glory of the Ming Dynasty." He is telling everyone that if it is not for the unification of the Ming Dynasty, his ambitions will be satisfied, his footsteps will stop, he has already looked at the heavens, and the Ming Dynasty is not his end.

This is a word of admonition, a warning to all people, that the great cause has not yet been accomplished, and it is not yet time to relax. In this regard, the ministers still had something to say, and they could only echo loudly: "Your Majesty is ambitious, and the ministers are sworn to follow." Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction, a courtier who is willing to follow his footsteps closely is a good courtier.

His eyes moved to Lao Zhu Zhudi and others, and he said loudly: "Although our dynasty has unified the territory of the Sixteen Dynasties, the monarch of the Sixteen Dynasties was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty after all, and there are even more ancestors of me, so we must not neglect each dynasty because it was annexed by our dynasty." ”

"Emperor Taizu rose in the troubled times and created a towering Ming Dynasty, his merit is enough to shake the sky, I really don't know how to face Emperor Taizu." The scene was instantly silent, and no one dared to speak out, involving Emperor Taizu, who dared to speak nonsense.

Mixing officialdom and saying the wrong thing will be fatal. The eyes of the ministers wandered back and forth between Zhu Houzhao and Lao Zhu and the others, and they all shook their heads involuntarily.

The vassal kings of various dynasties are easy to arrange, but these people who have been emperors are not easy to handle, especially those who are higher in rank than Zhu Houzhao.

"I think about it, no matter what, I can't snub my grandfather, otherwise I will be laughed at by the world, but I can't ignore my grandfather."

"In this way, I can crown the great grandfather as the king of Wu, and serve as the great sect of the Zongren Mansion, responsible for governing the royal family, and handling the affairs of the court together with the cabinet and the military department."

"I know that this move is slightly inappropriate, but Grandpa Tai is high-spirited and broad-minded, so I don't mind if I think I come!" Zhu Houzhao stared at Lao Zhu with burning eyes, putting a lot of pressure on Lao Zhu.
