Chapter 171: The Great Banquet of the Ministers

"All the soldiers have worked hard, I have set up a banquet in the palace, and I will not return if I am not drunk today."

"Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

These high-ranking generals were personally received by Lao Zhu, and the rest of the soldiers had their own courtiers to do the work for them.

After all, if they are received one by one, then Lao Zhu will be tired to death, although Lao Zhu has this energy.

In the palace, the civil and military are separated, and on the left is the civil and official group headed by Wang Guangyang.

On the right is a group of military generals headed by Xu Da.

Although they both belong to the Huaixi Xungui faction, the proud appearance revealed from the military generals has a tendency to be somewhat antagonistic in the relationship between the two factions.

If the world is peaceful, then the strength of the civilian clique will inevitably rise, and the power of the military clique will inevitably be weakened.

The Yongqing Desert Plan is also promoted by the Wujiang Group and is more active.

They don't care about logistics issues, whether they can support it, and whether the war will have an impact on the people's livelihood of the country.

What they are concerned about is whether there will be a war or not, and if there is a war, their position will remain solid, and the civilian clique will not want to ride on their heads.

The smug expression on display at this time was also a demonstration against the civilian clique.

With such a big victory, you can think about the possibility of going further, it is common to be knighted for merit, and you can also add a few real estate to your family, and the land is hard currency.

Of course, there are only some minor contradictions between the civil and military, but the real confrontation is impossible.

Wang Guangyang is still a good man and has won the golden mean.

Hu Weiyong is also a representative of the Huaixi faction.

The rest are the Wenchen who are well versed in the way of struggle, but they can't afford to turn up too much wind and waves, and the strength of the two sides is not the same.

The party is the same and different, and Hu Weiyong's ending is also related to Huaixi Xungui getting too close.

Wang Guangyang is a good old man and doesn't speak, and Lan Yu frequently toasts with the victorious generals.

As the vanguard of the fight against Huaixi Xungui, Liu Bowen's faction was also in a state of silence at this time, without a good oil head, no one dared to say anything inappropriate on this happy occasion.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

At this time, the generals were already drinking high, and there were people who liked low-alcohol and high-alcohol wine, but the amount of alcohol was different, and many people were already drunk.

Wine is strong and courageous, not to mention this group of proud soldiers who returned victorious.

At this moment, in front of Lao Zhu, not only did he speak loudly, but the words between him and his colleagues gradually became intense.

I saw a general who was eating wine and said with a big tongue.

"This big victory, I am always the first soldier, the last time I was a hero, I didn't have my share, how can I be a knight this time!"

"If you don't know, I must have it, Wang Baobao was captured by my subordinates, and I also have a share of the credit for Emperor Yuan's arrest, I don't believe that I won't be able to get a title this time."

With the words of the two, the generals who had already drunk high were also ready to move at this time, and they talked about this topic with their tongues open.

Seeing this, Xu Da and Li Wenzhong were busy getting up and restraining them.

However, Lao Zhu shook his head, temporarily put down the thoughts of the two, and let everyone discuss the reward later.

spoke loudly, but fortunately, no one dared to ask Lao Zhu in person at such a time.

Although Xu Da and Li Wenzhong were sitting on pins and needles, the banquet still went on slowly.

Liu Bowen's imperial history was about to move, but fortunately, Liu Bowen also attended the banquet, and a look stopped his subordinates from wanting to start, so that the banquet could go smoothly.

Sending off the soldiers, Lao Zhu touched his somewhat drowsy head, came to Queen Ma's residence, and quietly told the things at the banquet without a trace of emotion.

"Sister, we know that they have a lot of credit this time, and we have also thought about how to reward them, except for Xu Da, we have nothing to seal, and we will give everyone else what they should give, but why are they so impatient, and none of them are willing to wait?"

"At the banquet, we also think about what reward we should give to be worthy of their merits."

"You said they wouldn't rebel if they didn't do what they wanted."

Lao Zhu's slightly mocking tone startled Queen Ma, the word rebellion is not used casually, obviously Lao Zhu is in a very bad mood now.

"How can you take drunk nonsense seriously, let you pour alcohol on them, get drunk!"

"It's good to be drunk, and you can only spit out the truth when you're drunk."

"Girl, you say we're the stingy people."

This question is really difficult to answer, Queen Ma was speechless, and silently brought Lao Zhu a sobering tea.

Silence is better than sound here, and Lao Zhu's eyes immediately widened, and he looked at Queen Ma deadly.

"Look at what I'm doing, the title is rare, and the soldiers will fight bravely to kill the enemy, not afraid of life and death, and it is still useful to be stingy, unlike Xu Da, who is not easy to seal now."

In a few words, Lao Zhu's temper broke out nowhere, thinking that he was really a little stingy, his expression was still cloudy, and he smiled a little.

"Hey, Xu Da is our brother who grew up, born and died for us, can you compare with others."

"Hehe, aren't they screaming fiercely?"

"We have already asked Mao Xiang to write down their names, this time we are in a good mood, we will not settle accounts with them, and we will calculate it slowly in the future."

The common problem of the leader is that if you don't ask for it, he will be very uncomfortable, and if he has to say it, no matter how much, he will be satisfied.

Lao Zhu is this mentality, fortunately, there is a big victory, and Lao Zhu is not good at these meritorious generals.

"You, why are you still like a child, aren't you all drunk, and you don't really want to ask for it, I see, it's true that you're drunk."

"I'm not drunk, I think Xu Da also has a little bit of this meaning, otherwise how dare they mention this topic to us in person."

"Wasn't it your brother just now, what's wrong now, this brother is not good."

"yes, that's great."

"Seriously, you've really decided, and you're going to give all the credit away."

"It's decided, otherwise what else can I do, I can't really be crowned king."

"What should I do if Xu Da is not satisfied?"

"Let's talk about it if you're not satisfied, anyway, it's true that the enemy attacked lightly and almost led to the defeat of the war."

"Thanks to the earth-shaking thunder to turn the tide, there is such a big victory, if you are not convinced, go to Zheng Xiong, what does it matter to me."

"You say, will they settle accounts with Zheng Xiong."

"Probably not, there is nothing Zheng Xiong came up with, Xu Da is rash against the enemy, the victory or defeat must be between the two, whether he can defeat Beiyuan with Wenzhong's division is really hard to say, there is nothing wrong with handing over the biggest credit to Zheng Xiong."

"Hehe, that's the reason, let Zheng Xiong, who was born as a civil official, ride on their heads, I don't know what kind of expression they will have, we are all looking forward to it."

This is not only a matter of being stingy, but also a little cautious, Lao Zhu's unhappiness with these generals is almost written on his face.

Thinking of this, I am very happy.
