Han Dao world

Chapter 156
Back at the banquet, the more Zhang Ji thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

The emperor obviously had a problem with him, but he just refrained from expressing it.

Why put up with it?Can't tell.

Maybe it was because he wanted to spare him once and not to argue with him, maybe it was because he was afraid of his strength and didn't want to make troubles.

The emperor said that it was important for him to do something, but he didn't say it directly, let him see you tomorrow.

Is this to scare him on purpose, or is it really important to talk to him alone?

Zhang Ji couldn't explain clearly. For a while, he felt that the emperor valued him and had to rely on him for a heavy responsibility;

Zou was a little excited.

While looking at the emperor who was being congratulated by the generals, she thought about what the emperor said just now, and the more she thought about it, the brighter her future became.

Li Jue and Guo Si are dead, and her husband Zhang Ji is the highest official general, so it is natural for the emperor to win him over.If Zhang Ji made meritorious service, he would become his wife, and if he gave birth to a son in the future, he would be able to shade his descendants.

Think happy.

The only regret is that she has not yet had a son.

Zou looked sideways at Zhang Ji, pursed her lips quietly, and smiled slightly.

After Zhang Ji, Duan Yan, Yang Feng and others stepped forward to salute in turn.

Compared with the restless Zhang Ji, they were obviously much more relaxed.

From the arrangement of the seats, they knew it well, and it was hard to say how much credit they had, at least they would not have done so.

After a round of drinking, Taichang Wang Jiang was just about to announce the next procedure, Liu Xie made a gesture, called Wang Jiang to his side, and whispered a few words.

Wang Jiang hesitated for a moment, then walked to Zhao Wen and Zhang Xi.

"Situ, Sikong, Your Majesty wants to pay tribute to the civil and military families."

"Why?" Zhao Wen frowned slightly.

"Your Majesty said that the victory of this battle was not only due to the strength of the soldiers, but also the support of their families. If they were not starving and only ate one meal a day, saving food to supply the soldiers, they might not have survived to the end. .”

Zhao Wenwen and Zhang Xi exchanged glances, then got up and walked to the Jiuqing banquet, discussed with Shi Sunrui, and finally nodded.

Wang Chang returned to Liu Xie, nodded, turned to face the minister, cleared his throat, and said loudly:
"Your Majesty has an edict that this battle can be won. First, the soldiers will fight the enemy to the death without fear of sacrifice; second, the family members will be united and save resources. Today's celebration will not only reward the soldiers, but also the relatives."

When the civil and military officials saw Zhao Wen and others discussing, they knew that something was going on, and it was a big deal, otherwise they wouldn't make Sangong Jiuqing so solemn.Now it is heard that the emperor is going to pay tribute to their family members, which is somewhat unexpected.

But no one will object.

Liu Xie gestured to Fushou.The two got up, walked through the passage between civil and military officials, and came outside the imperial camp.

The civil and military ministers did not dare to neglect, they got up one after another, and followed the emperor out of the camp.

Wang Jiang took the first step and sent people to each battalion to report.Originally there were quite a few people watching outside the camp, but now that they heard that the Son of Heaven would make a special trip to express his thanks to them, they were all inexplicably excited and rushed out of their tents, crowding each other, waiting to admire the beauty of the sky.

Not only for safety, but also for everyone to see more clearly, Wang Jiang arranged for some officials to hold torches and stand on both sides of the emperor.

Most of the family members of the officials on the plateau have met Liu Xie, and they are no strangers to the Empress Fushou, but at this moment, seeing the emperor and empress coming here in full attire, very different from the usual approachable people, it was an eye-opener .

This is royal style.

Wang Jiang greeted repeatedly, and asked the family members of some ministers to come closer, and asked them to pour wine for them.

Liu Xie toasted and delivered a speech to express his gratitude to the families of these ministers.

Although they were already mentally prepared, these family members were still very excited when they heard the emperor personally expressing their gratitude to them. They held the wine glasses, tears filled their eyes, and shouted long live for a while.

When the ministers saw it, they felt a little strange, and felt that the hardships they had suffered before were all worth it.

After paying respects to the families of the ministers, Liu Xie came to the edge of the plateau again to pay tribute to the families of ordinary soldiers.

Standing so high and without a loudspeaker, no one could hear him even if he shouted.Fortunately, Wang Jiang responded quickly and sent people to the battalions to announce the news in time, expressing the emperor's gratitude.So countless people stood in the camp under the plateau, looked at Liu Xie and Fushou on the plateau, and cheered excitedly without them saying a word.

The soldiers who were celebrating with their families were especially happy, enjoying the adoring eyes of their wives and children, and even the scars on their bodies became glory.

Above and below the plateau, cheers came and went, and the atmosphere reached a climax.

-

Yang Ding reined in his mount and looked at the imperial camp ahead in surprise.

In the night, the torches lined up on the plateau, like a golden border.

In the center of this Phnom Penh, there was a group of people standing, although they were too far apart to see clearly, Yang Ding still guessed who it was.

"Yang Shilang, this is..." Yang Ding turned to look at Yang Xiu.

Yang Xiu actually didn't know what was going on, but when he heard the cheers resounding through the sky, he knew it was not a bad thing.

"Since it's a celebration banquet, the atmosphere will naturally be warmer. The general should leave quickly. If you don't make it in time, it will be in vain."

Yang Ding nodded in embarrassment and urged the horse to hurry.

Yang Xiu came to his camp, conveyed the edict of the emperor, and ordered him to go to the banquet immediately, and his heart was finally relieved.Then he heard from Yang Xiu that Zhang Ji was still the General of Hussars, but his rank was no longer higher than that of San Gong, so he felt more at ease.

Compared with Zhang Ji, who has evil intentions, he is at most passive and idle.

Zhang Ji is fine, and he will be fine.

Arriving at the bottom of the tableland, Yang Ding asked his personal guards to wait at the bottom of the tableland, and followed Yang Xiu up to the tableland.

Liu Xie had just finished paying his respects to the families of the officers and men, returned to the table, and was about to enter the next agenda: announcing rewards. Seeing Yang Ding rushing over, he couldn't help laughing.

"Although the general is late, it is not too late after all."

Yang Ding looked embarrassed, he could only pretend that he couldn't understand Liu Xie's meaning, and bowed his hands in greeting.

Zhang Ji on the side heard it clearly, and secretly smiled in his heart.

After all, the Son of Heaven is a young man at heart, even if he no longer pursues Yang Ding's responsibility, he still has to make a few words of sarcasm.

But that's fine too.Speak out, lest you hide in your heart and suspect each other.

Liu Xie winked at Wang Jiang.

Wang Jiang led Yang Ding to the table, and sat with Dong Cheng.

When Yang Ding passed by Duan Yan, Duan Yan chuckled twice, then turned to talk to Yang Feng beside him.Yang Ding felt Duan Yan's pride, but he was helpless.

He has always been at odds with Duan Yan, but this time Duan Yan made a contribution, but he made a mistake, and he will have to watch Duan Yao's face from now on.

After taking his seat, before Yang Ding had time to take a sip of wine to moisten his throat, Wang Jiang announced loudly that Ding Chong, the servant, would read out the credits and rewards from the generals.

Yang Ding didn't care too much, anyway, the rewards belonged to others and had nothing to do with him.He drank the wine on his own, and just after three glasses of wine, he heard the name he didn't want to hear the most.

"General Ning Ji Duan Yan, who has made great contributions in welcoming the driver, has worked hard in protecting the soil, and rushed to help in time. I call on the former general, Marquis of Langxiang Ting."

Before Yang Ding could react, Wang Jiang read aloud again: "General Xingyi Yang Feng, confronted Li Ying, beheaded more than [-] people, and ordered to pay homage to General Zuo, Marquis of Jiting."

"General Dong Cheng of Anji fought against Guo Si, beheaded more than three hundred people, and ordered you to pay homage to General You, Marquis of Gaoyang Ting."

Yang Ding was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood why he was placed in this position.
