I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 231
At this time, Daming had not experienced the Civil Fortress Change, and the status of military commanders was not too low, and he could fight back and forth with civil officials even in the court.

Especially following Zhu Di's five expeditions to Mongolia, the veterans who were able to fight tough battles and be named princes have not been compromised, and the status of super-grade generals is even slightly higher than that of civil officials.

Take the salary as an example.

The official salary of Zhang Fu in the United Kingdom is 1000 dan, while Yang Shiqi, the chief assistant of the first-rank university scholar cabinet in the dynasty, has more than [-] dan.

This is still the salary in the early years of Yongle, after years of awards, the Duke's salary has reached [-] Dan, which is a head higher than that of the county king.

In addition, the army of the Ming Dynasty is not completely without combat effectiveness.

In fact, no matter the influence or the status in the heart of the royal family, these princes who are in charge of the five armies and the governor's mansion command the world's soldiers and horses, are not comparable to civil servants without lords.

Li Tian called them his own family, because they were almost all loyal royalists, and showed his closeness to them.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxi had nothing to do, and he was already a bit broken, and he wanted to let Li Tian handle it.

No matter what Li Tian ordered, he had to follow suit. If he was asked to come to a banquet, he would not dare not to come.

Not long after, the British Duke Zhang Fu and Zheng He came hand in hand.

This is Jiang Bao, who was in charge of summoning everyone, and whispered to Li Tian,
"Your Majesty, the other dukes are either not in the capital, or are unable to come due to business."

Li Tian also knew that today he announced that he wanted to clarify the matter of the Tianxia Weisuo, which must have made them panic and angry.

Refusal to come is also being cleaned up.

No matter what Zhu Yong came here for today, as long as he can come, it means that his emperor still holds a heavy weight in his heart, and Li Tian's favor for him suddenly increased a lot.

And the British official Zhang Fu also came, which surprised Li Tian even more.

After the two of them also took their seats, Jiang Bao was very discerning and shouted, "Open the table!"

After a while, a large group of maids and eunuchs brought the sumptuous food and wine.

Looking at the dazzling array of dishes, the few people didn't have any appetite, and Li Tian didn't say anything, so they didn't dare to do anything casually.

Seeing that they were all very reserved, Li Tian also felt quite bored.

When he was a small employee in his previous life, although he didn't have many friends, every time he went out to drink and eat skewers.

Although the food was very cheap, they came and left happily even if they didn't come back, how could they feel such a dull feeling at this moment.

If you want to get back the feeling of the past, it is probably impossible in this life.

After sighing in his heart, he took the initiative to raise his wine glass and said to everyone,
"Get up your chopsticks!"

Among these few people, Zhang Fu and Zheng He were relatively calm, and they were the first to pick up the wine glass and bowed their hands in salute.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"

Finished drinking it.

Seeing that they had all drank, Zhu Gaoxi raised his glass resentfully and drank without saying anything.

In the end, only Zhu Yong was left. He hesitated for a moment, but he walked to the middle and knelt down slowly while holding the wine glass.

"Your Majesty forgive me, I am ashamed!"

Li Tian pretended to be puzzled and said,

"Why Cheng Guogong? Get up quickly!"

To be honest, the investigation of the Tianxia Weisuo had a great impact on Zhu Yong, and logically he should not have come today.

But at this time, his son beat Huang Yan and others, which is tantamount to committing a crime against Tian Yan.

If Li Tian insists on pursuing the matter, it is possible even if he is crowned as the Duke of the state.

At such a time, one can imagine how anxious he was.

Stretching out his hand and pointing to the outside of the hall, Zhu Yong said angrily,
"Your Majesty, I have already tied up that Nizi who dared to beat Director Huang.

If your majesty wants to fight, you will listen to your will, and I will never dare to complain. "

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and they found that there was indeed a black sack outside the dark hall.

Li Tian smiled wryly in his heart, "This Zhu Yong is also decisive enough to plead guilty.

To be able to be so cruel to his own son, it can be seen that he was indeed afraid this time. "

However, Li Tian didn't intend to break up with Zhu Yong completely because of Zhu Ji.

Seeing his posture of not getting up if he didn't deal with it, Li Tian bowed lightly,
"Why is such a trivial matter, Cheng Guogong should hurry up.

Looking back, let that bastard go to the army for two years to experience, just forget about killing his temper. "

Li Tian erased this serious crime of decapitation with a few words, and Zhu Yong's eyes turned red immediately.

He drank all the wine in the glass in one gulp, knocked his head heavily on the ground,
"Your Majesty's great kindness, I will never forget it. No matter how His Majesty orders me from now on, I will repay the emperor's kindness with all my heart."

For the sake of a son, Zhu Yong didn't even intend to take the benefit of the guard, and even his own old face.

It can be seen that he really dotes on his two sons very much.

Li Tian also grasped this point, and then used both kindness and power to make him surrender on his own initiative.

Seeing that he had already stated his position in this way, Li Tian was determined, and immediately got up and came to him, and personally helped him up.

And said kindly,
"Cheng Guogong, you have been a soldier all your life, and you have repeatedly made military exploits. You are a figure like the Optimus Prime of my Ming Dynasty.

How can I have the heart to punish you for a trivial matter, get up quickly! "

The dignified king of a country can be so sympathetic to a meritorious minister, which made the hearts of the British Duke and Zheng He also surged.

Wait for Zhu Yong to return to his seat.

Li Tian raised his wine glass again,

"It's my first time ascending the Great Treasure, and I still need your help in everything. I'm here to offer a toast to everyone."

Whether it is Zhu Yong or Zhang Fu and Zheng He, they are all courtiers, and it is a great honor to be toasted by the emperor himself.

Only Zhu Gaoxi was stupefied at this moment, and he didn't know why Li Tian was going crazy, so he put his posture so low.

In order not to refute Li Tian's face, he had no choice but to drink a big cup with everyone.

Seeing that the atmosphere gradually improved, Li Tian exhausted all the persuasion skills he had stolen from the wine table in his previous life, and poured wine for everyone one cup after another.

Either they praised Zhu Yong's bravery, or they praised Zhang Fu's use of soldiers like a god.

It made several people feel light all over, as if their bones were lightened several times.

About half an hour later, everyone was almost drunk.

Li Tian then said seriously,
"I invite you to come here today, one is to reminisce about the past, and the other is to clarify the matter of the world's guards that the court said this morning."

Several people seemed to be drunk, but in fact, except for Zhu Gaoxi, everyone else was very sober.

Hearing Li Tian's words, my heart was shocked, and a sentence emerged in my mind.

"The meat scene is finally coming."
