The days when I fished in Daming

Chapter 172
"All the soldiers have worked hard. I have already held a banquet in the palace. I will not return today if I am not drunk."

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

These high-level generals were received by Lao Zhu himself, and the rest of the officers and men were taken care of by their ministers.

After all, if you receive them one by one, then Lao Zhu will be exhausted, even though Lao Zhu has the energy.

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

On the right is the generals group headed by Xu Da.

Although they both belong to the Huaixi Xungui faction, the relationship between the two factions has become somewhat antagonistic from the complacent appearance revealed by the generals.

If the world is peaceful, then the strength of the civil official group will inevitably rise, and the power of the military general group will inevitably be weakened.

The Yongqing Desert Project this time was also promoted by the generals group, and it was more active.

They don't care about logistics issues, whether they can support them, or whether a continuous war will affect the country's people's livelihood.

What they care about is whether there will be a war. If there is a war, their position will remain stable, and the civil servants will not want to ride on their heads.

The smug expression shown at this time is also a demonstration against the civil society.

With such a big victory, you can think about the possibility of going further. It is common to be awarded a title for meritorious service, and you can also add some real estate to your family. Land is hard currency.

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

Wang Guangyang is still a good old man, and he has won the doctrine of the mean.

Hu Weiyong is also a representative of the Huaixi faction.

The rest are the civil servants who are well versed in the way of struggle, but they can't make too much trouble, and the strength of the two sides is not the same.

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

Wang Guangyang is a good old man who doesn't talk, and Lan Yu frequently toasts with the generals who have returned from victory.

As the vanguard of attacking Huaixi nobles, Liu Bowen's faction is also in a state of silence at this time. Without a good oil head, no one dares to say inappropriate words on this rejoicing occasion.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

At this time, the military generals have already drunk high, and there are people who like low-alcohol and high-alcohol alcohol, but the amount of alcohol is different, and many people are already drunk.

Jiu Zhuang is cowardly, not to mention this group of arrogant soldiers who returned from victory.

At this moment, not only was he talking loudly in front of Lao Zhu, but also his words with his colleagues became increasingly fierce.

I saw a general who was eating wine talking with his tongue out.

"In this big victory, I always take the lead. The last time I made a big hero, I didn't have a share. This time I can be a noble no matter what!"

"You don't know if there are any, I'm sure there are. 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 get a title this time."

Following the words of the two, the generals, who had already drunk, were ready to move at this time, talking about this topic with their tongues open.

Seeing this, Xu Da and Li Wenzhong hurriedly got up to restrain them.

However, Lao Zhu shook his head, holding back the thoughts of the two of them for the time being, and letting everyone discuss the future rewards.

He spoke a little louder, but fortunately no one dared to ask Lao Zhu face to face at this time.

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

The censor under Liu Bowen was about to move, but fortunately Liu Bowen also attended the banquet, and a look stopped his subordinates from about to start the action, so that the banquet could go on smoothly.

After seeing off the soldiers, Lao Zhu touched his drowsy head and came to Queen Ma's residence, quietly talking about the banquet, without any emotion.

"Sister, we know that they have made a lot of contributions this time, and we have thought about how to reward them. Except for Xu Da, we have nothing to reward. We will give everyone else what they should give, but why are you so impatient that no one is willing to wait?"

"Before the banquet, we also considered what reward we should give to be worthy of their credit."

"You said if they don't follow their wishes, will they rebel?"

Old Zhu's slightly mocking tone startled Empress Ma, the word "rebellion" was not used casually, obviously Lao Zhu was in a very bad mood right now.

"Drunk nonsense can't be taken seriously, let you pour alcohol into them, get drunk!"

"It's better to be drunk, and you can tell the truth after drinking."

"Sister, you said we are that stingy people."

It was really difficult to answer this question, Empress Ma was speechless, and silently brought Lao Zhu some tea to sober up.

Silence is better than sound here, Lao Zhu immediately opened his eyes wide and stared at Empress Ma.

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

A few words made Lao Zhu's violent temper nowhere to flare up. Thinking about how stingy he was, his expression was still cloudy, and he smiled a bit.

"Hey, Xu Da is our brother who grew up from a young age. He was born and died for us. Can you compare with others?"

"Hehe, aren't they screaming fiercely?"

"We asked Mao Xiang to write down their names a long time ago. This time we are in a good mood, and we will not settle accounts with them, and we will settle them slowly later."

The common problem of leaders is that if you ask for something that is not yours, he will feel very uncomfortable. If you insist on giving it to him, no matter how much it is, he will be satisfied.

This is Lao Zhu's mentality. Fortunately, he has a big victory, and Lao Zhu is not good at dealing with these meritorious generals.

"You, why are you still acting like a child? Aren't you all drunk? I didn't really ask you for it. I think it's true that you're drunk."

"Not drunk, I think Xu Da also has the same meaning, otherwise how dare they bring up this topic with us face to face."

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

"Okay, that's great."

"To be honest, you really decided to share the credit."

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

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

"Let's talk about it if you're not satisfied. Anyway, it's true that you underestimated the enemy and rushed forward, which almost led to the failure of the war."

"Thanks to Zhen Tianlei's efforts to turn the tide, there was such a big victory just now. If you don't accept it, go to Zheng Xiong. It's none of my business."

"Tell me, will they settle accounts with Zheng Xiong?"

"Probably not. Without the things that Zheng Xiong made, Xu Da underestimated the enemy and rushed forward. The outcome is between the two. It's hard to say whether he can join forces with Wen Zhong to defeat Bei Yuan. There is nothing wrong with giving the greatest credit to Zheng Xiong."

"Hehe, that's the reason. Let Zheng Xiong, who was born as a civil servant, ride on their heads. I don't know what their expressions will be. We are all looking forward to it."

This is not only a matter of stinginess, but also a little narrow-mindedness, Lao Zhu's displeasure towards these generals is almost written on his face.

Thinking of this, I am very happy.
