After these foreign kings and generals finished what they wanted to say at the table, Yunxi continued to walk around the entire venue holding a wine glass, and from time to time met with the soldiers who had made great achievements in this battle and talked to them.
All the generals who were able to be received by Yunxi were very excited. The people who usually met Yunxi were concentrated at the first two tables. Many of the remaining people had never seen His Majesty the Emperor before coming to Yiwu, even though
When I arrived at Yiwu, I only glanced at him from a distance. Did I ever think that I could talk to His Majesty face to face? Almost everyone stood upright and answered Yunxi's questions respectfully. Many people even stumbled when they spoke because they were too excited.
Baba.
Yunxi, who had been here for more than ten years, would definitely be very happy about this, but at this time, he was already very familiar with this situation, so he was not excited, but he was still a little proud: so many generals were his ministers, and they commanded
The army is also his army. Because of these, he has become the king of the most powerful country in the world. Who else in the world would be better than me!
The banquet lasted for an hour and a half, until early noon. Yunxi saw that the food was almost finished, the wine was almost drunk, and the people he wanted to talk to had all been talked to, so he ordered the banquet to end. Then
Amid everyone's shouts of "Long live", he left the venue and returned to his residence with his guards.
"Song Qingshu, take note. I will hold a meeting tomorrow morning to discuss the Western Expedition. Remember to send someone to inform Xu Huizu, Lan Zhen and other generals, as well as the three princes of Qin, Jin and Dai, as well as the two prefectures of Yongxing and Gaoping.
King, just tell Uncle Fourteen and Uncle Nineteen to come over. Even though they don’t have anything to do, in order to prevent them from thinking too much, they all came over to attend the meeting."
"Just now, I informed you of the troops that will participate in the Western Expedition, including the troops of Yilibali under the command of Shami Chagan, the troops of Oara under the command of Mahamu, the troops of Korea under the command of Li Mingfang, and the Baiyi Guards under the command of Zhu Hengshi.
Do you remember the troops of the Quaning Guards and the three Wuliangha Guards commanded by Xu Youde, and the Jianzhou Guards commanded by Tong Dongguang and Lang Yimian?" Halfway through, Yunxi began to give instructions again.
"Your Majesty, I have already written it down." Song Qingshu replied. It was not appropriate to bring someone else to such an occasion, so Yunxi always ordered the guards around him to write it down first, and then pass it on to others.
"Tell Xu Huizu these troops and he will know what to do."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Write it down again, and inform Xu Huizu and others later that the cattle, sheep and horses obtained must be sent back to the Central Plains as soon as possible. I have just rewarded a cow to each guard family whose family members have been killed in battle. Each family member has been seriously injured or injured.
The disabled Weisuo family has a sheep. The imperial court does not have so many cattle and sheep, and they are all counting on getting these just now."
"It is impossible for the soldiers to take back the cattle and sheep given to him alone, so they must transport the cattle and sheep back together and deliver them to the soldiers as soon as possible. I cannot be allowed to be a person who breaks my promise. Remember your advice
Xu Huizu, I know how to check. If someone fails to receive their cattle or sheep, I will deal with him and the commander of the guard station where that person is."
"Although the horses are not given to the soldiers, they are needed by the court. However, there will be no more wars for the time being. You can transport them back slowly, so there is no need to worry."
Yunxi then asked a few more things, and Song Qingshu agreed to them one by one. He is now very accustomed to his extra part-time job.
However, the last thing Yunxi ordered still made Song Qingshu a little embarrassed. Because Yunxi said to him: "Tonight I will personally host a banquet to entertain you guards."
"Since I left the capital in May, you have been by my side to protect me, eating and sleeping in the open air. Although you have no military exploits, you are still worthy of credit. Since I have held a celebration banquet for the generals, I cannot ignore you. Tonight,
I will entertain you personally."
"Your Majesty, this, I'm just doing my duty, how can it be regarded as merit?" Song Qingshu immediately rejected it.
"You don't have to be modest." Yunxi said with a smile: "How can you not take credit for protecting me? Since ancient times, it has been said that there is no greater merit than rescuing someone. Don't you think this is wrong?"
"But I didn't save His Majesty's chariot..." Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted: "You did not save your majesty, but it is precisely because of your protection that I will not be in danger.
So you also have merit."
Having said this, Yunxi had already returned to the courtyard where he lived in Yiwu City. He called all the guards over and said loudly: "You have been guarding me very diligently these days. I am determined to set up a plan for you tonight."
A banquet to reward you for your hard-working guard!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!" The crowd immediately shouted. Today they watched the generals eat and drink at the celebration banquet, and they were inevitably a little jealous. Now they heard that Yunxi was hosting a separate banquet for them. How could they not be happy?
Seeing this situation, Song Qingshu could only bow and say: "I thank your majesty for your kindness. However, your majesty's safety is very important, so I thought it would be better to divide the guards into two groups and hold the banquet in turn."
"Okay. Then we will divide it into two classes. Today I will entertain one class, and tomorrow I will entertain the other class. You can make arrangements. Now go and instruct the kitchen to prepare a few tables of wine and food tonight according to the specifications of today's celebration banquet." Yunxi.
explain.
Song Qingshu bowed to accept the order and then withdrew.
After that, Yunxi walked into the house and wanted to rest. It was not easy to entertain the generals who had made meritorious service today, so he had to take a good rest.
The guards had also known this for a long time. They escorted Yunxi to the door of the house and stopped at the door after saluting.
But at this moment, Yunxi suddenly said to the person behind him: "Lijie, come in with me." Chen Lijie was startled, then agreed and walked in.
"When I announced the banquet just now, your reaction was a little slow. What were you thinking about?" Yunxi sat down, took the fruit from Wang Gong, and took a bite.
"Your Majesty, I didn't think anything of it."
"Haha, Lijie, you usually react the fastest, but your reaction is a beat slow. How could you not think of anything?" Yunhe said with a smile.
Just when Chen Lijie didn't know what to say, Yun He said again: "I know, you are jealous after seeing those generals who have made meritorious deeds, right?"
"How could I be jealous?" He immediately started to defend himself.
Yunxi ignored his words and continued: "I also understand what you are thinking. You can either take the imperial examination and become an official, or you can fight and make meritorious service and become a general, surpassing the man in your hometown. You are not thinking about taking the imperial examination now, so you can only fight and make meritorious service."
But this time you didn’t make much contribution, so I’m a little jealous.”
"Your Majesty," Chen Lijie wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.
"In this case, I will give you a chance. In the future, you will lead a part of the bodyguards and the soldiers who protect me back to Ganzhou City. Even if you are a front station for my return, you will also inform the queen and princess about the matter. With this, I can count you
After you have made great achievements, I will send you to the martial arts hall in good faith."
"I thank your Majesty for your kindness." Chen Lijie knelt down and kowtowed.
