There is a big feast outside the palace, and there is also a big feast in the palace.

In the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered officials of the Ministry of Rites to formulate etiquette such as the system of congratulatory greetings, including the big banquet ceremony.

But for all the big banquets, the palace Shangbao Division, Jinyi Guard, Jiaofang Division, Etiquette Division, Guanglu Division and other inner and outer court yamen have responsibilities.

Yes, there is a division of the Workshop.

The Workshop Division will arrange for people to prepare different dance music and music according to the different levels of the banquet.

During the ceremony, play a song and have a drink...... and so on.

As for the ministers,

According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, the seats of officials above the fourth rank were arranged on the east and west sides of the Fengtian Palace, and the wine bottles and dining tables of other officials were arranged outside the main hall and in the corridors on the east and west sides.

Of course, the emperor still has a throne and lives in the middle.

Zhu Houzhao is somewhat serious on weekdays, and when he encounters a big banquet, he no longer puts on that face, and laughs a few times from the moment he appears, so as to make the people around him relax.

He even asked with great interest about the types and methods of today's dishes.

Liu Jin saw that the emperor cared, so he asked the eunuch of the Shangshi Bureau to carefully say, what kind of steamed pig's trotters, fried fresh fish in two cooks, and boiled meat in the oven...... On weekdays, he asked if he had eaten or not, and these top dishes had cultural implications, and he felt wonderful when he listened carefully.

When the courtiers saw the emperor enjoying the dance music, they chatted about the dishes, and they were more or less relaxed.

After the dance, the people of Guanglu Temple are responsible for pouring wine.

Zhu Houzhao got up according to the throne, it didn't matter if he stood like this, all the civil and military officials below stood up.

According to the rules, the civil officials are headed by Wang Wei and on the left, and the military attaches are headed by Zhu Fu, the Duke of Chengguo, on the right.

The British public claim is not sick, there is no Baoguo Gong, Wei Guogong is in Nanjing, the nobles in Beijing, Cheng Guogong can naturally be the leader, and his second son Zhu Feng has also made a contribution this time, and Cheng Guogong's line has finally improved a little.

"Sit down."

Zhu Houzhao walked down from above, he was actually still young, only seventeen years old. Young, vigorous, full of energy, ruddy face, looking at the face is still tender but does not lose the heroic spirit, this is the current Zhengde Emperor.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"This first cup of wine, all Aiqing and I pay tribute to my Ming Taizu Taizong and the monarchs of all dynasties, to the founding heroes who started a business with Taizu, and to the loyal ministers and good generals who have emerged in my Ming Dynasty over the past hundred years, without them, there would be no Ming Dynasty, no me, and there would be no glory and wealth for you today!"

"Respect for ancestors, respect for loyal ministers!"

Zhu Houzhao took a sip of wine, he didn't think it before, but suddenly this small wine glass was really not enough.

"Change the big bowl!"

An official of Guanglu Temple moved quickly, and he immediately found one. And when the emperor changes, the ministers have to follow suit.

"This second cup of wine, I want to salute all of you."

From the left, Wenchen has Wang Wei, Liang Chu, Han Wen, Min Jue, Wang Bing, Gu Zuo, He Jian, Zhang Fuhua, Lin Han......

From the right, the military attaches include Cheng Guogong, Wei Ningbo, Ma Duwei, Zhou Shangwen, Yang Xing, and Ma Rong......

In this, it is basically through his hands that he has his current official position, after all, he has been the emperor and the superintendent of the country for several years. It's just time-consuming, and some people should go.

"Pro-virtuous ministers, far villains, these are the words left by Zhuge Wuhou to Liu Chan, I feel that the six words of governing the country are the most refined. As an emperor, if you can do these six words, then you can't be far behind. And what I am most proud of is not a big victory, but I used the right Aiqing, and now the whole court is full of virtuous ministers, how can I be disrespectful with this glass of wine? ”

Many ministers spoke to the emperor with flutter, and some were even moved to the point of excitement.

"Your Majesty is wise and decisive, and his talents are outstanding, and the ministers dare not speak out, and they dare not speak out!"

……

These are all polite words.

Zhu Houzhao continued, "This third cup of wine, our monarchs and ministers have to respect the people of the world, if there is no them, how can this battle be won?" Isn't it?! ”

"Good!!"

A number of individuals poured two large bowls of wine into their stomachs.

Zhu Houzhao didn't drink much, but he could hold on at this time, because there was still something to do.

"The Divine Decree is coming!"

The emperor stretched out his hand, and the eyes of many people were drawn to it. The key is that Liu Jin brought it over, and there are quite a few over there.

This is to make a big vassal.

"Wang Bing, the secretary of the military department, was ordered to defeat the enemy, Jin Dongge University Scholar, awarded the title of Prince Taibao, and entered the cabinet to pre-emptive!"

University Scholars, Cabinet Ministers......

This is the same thing that many people thought before.

Wang Bing sat up very upright, and on such a grand occasion, announcing his promotion, this feeling was like catching up with the middle jinshi of the year.

"The minister accepts the order, thank Your Majesty Longen!"

"Datong General Soldier Zhou Shangwen, loyal and brave, repeatedly performed miraculous feats, this battle of Liangxiang, thousands of miles of attack, won in a battle, tired of sealing Pingyubo, 1,200 stones!"

The title of Pingyubo belongs to Jiang Bin in history, and he is not a good person.

Zhou Shangwen was somewhat surprised, the knighthood would only have to be made with a great contribution, and he felt that if he led his troops and horses to attack the enemy's lair, it would be possible to win a big victory. I really didn't expect it this time.

In fact, Zhu Houzhao did not use 'sealing', but 'tired sealing', Zhou Shangwen has won many battles, and there is no problem at all with his military merits.

However, apart from him, it seems that it is difficult for anyone to be knighted again in this war. Yang Xing, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, is just ordinary, and he will not be crowned an earl after sending a single army.

For others, it is enough to give corresponding official promotions.

As proclaimed today,

After Zhou Shangwen was crowned as the commander of Datong, he was no longer appointed as the chief soldier of Datong, but was served by Chang Dacheng, who performed well in the defense of Datong and was also Zhou Shangwen's deputy general.

After this year, the direction of Daming's strategy is to go west to Hami in Gansu and north to the Hetao Plain.

Other areas can be guarded normally.

Now the national power does not support such a four-way attack, and there is also the sea.

The general army of Yulin was taken over by Xu Zhen'an, and he also performed eye-catching in this battle.

And the young flying general Ma Rong, who everyone pays attention to, Zhu Houzhao has to be used for him. The Ming cavalry and the Yulin Guard cannot be separated.

Zhou Shangwen and Ma Rong are, of course, important Gansu towns.

Zhou Shangwen was the envoy of the capital of Shaanxi and the capital of Shaanxi, governed Ganzhou, controlled the twelve guards and four thousand households in Ganzhou and Liangzhou, and Ma Rong was promoted to the commander of the Ming cavalry, and the two were stationed in Ganzhou together.

Others have smaller official positions, but they have also been promoted. Hundreds, thousands, and so on, are all quite big officials.

There are also a lot of meritorious people, but it is impossible for Zhu Houzhao to read them here one by one, only some major ones, and the rest can be ordered by the military department.

With the promotion, the atmosphere of this banquet is even better.

Singing and dancing, wine, food, ...... Under so much charm, Zhu Houzhao has not forgotten one person.

At the end of the banquet, he ordered someone to bring the people he was concerned about into the palace, and also placed some dishes and wine for today's banquet to fill the table.

This man was the leader of the Tatars, Dayan Khan Batu Mengk.

His hands and feet were chained, and he was as embarrassed as a beggar, with a few short straws in his hair.

"This is the wine and food used by my ministers for today's feast, and it must be much better than the one in the prison. And what is left will be given to you. ”

Dayan Khan felt tender when he heard this voice, and when he looked up, he found that it was a doll with a significantly tender face.

"You are the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty?" For the first time in a few days, he spoke.

"Exactly."

Whoa!

Dayan Khan suddenly broke free of his arm,

The command of Shenwuwei made Xu Guan nervous, and hurriedly blocked in front of the emperor.

Zhu Houzhao pushed him away, frowned and smiled, "Although Warat is not the same as you, he is also a Mongolian. When the Mongols captured my ancestor Emperor Yingzong, he was destined to have such a day! ”

There was also a sense of shame in this battle. The so-called Jingkang shame, still not snowing, the shame of the Ming Dynasty, washed away in his hands, this is the great merit that can be recorded in the history books and sacrificed to the ancestors.
