Chapter 964: Bitter Water (I)
The three of them smiled and nodded to Wei Kang, and followed him quickly towards Cheng Yue's study. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Immediately afterwards, a large number of civil and military personnel arrived one after another, and none of them did not advance it. The king of Zhennan's military order is like a mountain, and the banquet guests are the same, if he is late in front of so many people, the king of Zhennan will not like it, and there will never be good fruits to eat in the future.
Not only the civil and military forces in the city, but also the generals outside the city also entered the city, which is the most important reason for Cheng Yue's banquet, how could he ignore the soldiers under his command during the New Year?
Xiao Zhen and Ma Fu were not in the palace, but led the spearmen, guards, monks and soldiers to loosen and tighten their guards around the palace, so as not to let anyone disadvantage the prince and his subordinates.
As soon as noon arrived, the inner hall of the Zhennan Wangfu was already lined up with ministers, fierce generals gathered, hundreds of important ministers gathered together, and all the subordinates who followed Cheng Yue's eastward expedition arrived, laughing and laughing everywhere.
All kinds of wine and food are constantly served in front of everyone, and everyone can also order their favorite dishes, Cheng Yue's care for his subordinates can be called meticulous.
Because he received a few rods in the Daming Palace, he was taken care of by Cheng Yue, and the dishes in front of him were obviously different from others, and they were all prepared by Cheng Yue for him alone. Zhao'er couldn't help but be overjoyed, and she was busy feasting.
Cheng Yue and Wan Ze stood on top of it, chatting and laughing with everyone. Naiman was happy to drink, looked around, but couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and said: "Lord Wang, I'm really happy at this time, but the next time we meet, I don't know when it will be." ”
Cheng Yue said with a smile: "We Han people have clouds, confidants in the sea, and the ends of the world are like neighbors." There is no feast in the world, and good men are determined to stay together all the time. ”
Naiman clapped his hands and smiled: "The prince said it well, I think too much." ”
Tugul frowned and said, "I don't think so. When the prince rebuilt Liaodong Province outside the Guan, we all followed the prince, and the enjoyment outside the Guanguan was not as good as Dadu, but we were all happier than now. After entering Dadu, I always felt that many things were in the way. Take a few days ago, I asked the military department for forage, and the military department also gave me a bill of lading, but when I sent someone to transport it, the petty officials who guarded the forage had to take some benefits, and finally deducted one percent! I think when I was under the command of the prince, how could I encounter this kind of thing? I was angry, so I wanted to go to the military department to seek justice. Unexpectedly, others told me that this matter had nothing to do with the Ministry of War, and they couldn't do anything about the following things. And it's good that it's me, if it's someone else, only one percent will be deducted, and it will never be taken away, so I am persuaded to rest and see each other in the future. This is just a trivial matter, I won't talk about the rest, anyway, I have a sulky stomach, Dayuan goes on like this, is it okay? ”
The ministers shook their heads again and again, and there was already a faint anger between Cheng Yue's eyebrows.
Nai Man glanced at Cheng Yue's face, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Lord Wang, in fact, Tugul is motivated by feelings. My entry into the capital this time can be regarded as an eye-opener. ”
Cheng Yue heard his tone not good, and asked, "Oh? How so? Does anyone dare to put on a face at you? ”
Nai Man sneered: "It's okay to put on a face." On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I received many New Year's greeting posts, some of which scolded me. scolded me for betraying Naiyan, unworthy of being the king of the host, and willing to be the king's lackey. Ha! These guys who hide their heads and show their tails only dare to do these tricks and feet when there are too many people to distinguish them, it is really a shame for the Mongols! ”
Cheng Yue snorted coldly and said lightly: "I know a little bit about this matter, don't pay attention to it." ”
Nai Man was taken aback, and Cheng Yue added: "Although Nai Yan has fallen, most of the people related to him have not been completely eliminated. As long as they don't rebel, it's not convenient for me to deal with them, so bear with me. ”
Nai Man sighed and said, "It's okay to worry about these things, what I don't like the most is most of the things." As soon as I entered the capital, some people who tended to be inflammatory, some wanted to rely on me as an official, and some wanted to do business with me in Liaodong, and they insisted that I must be the head of the kings of the host country, and the gifts they gave were very heavy, and I didn't want to. After the Great Khan was rewarded, as I expected, with the Liaodong Province, what else would the heads of the kings of the host country do? But in this way, those who gave me gifts were not happy, and scolded and scolded. This was expected by me, so I sent people to return the corresponding heavy gifts one by one. I thought that the roots of my ears would be purified, but I was scolded even more ugly, if I hadn't wanted to wait to drink the prince's happy wine, I would have led my troops back to Liaodong a long time ago! ”
When the ministers heard Naman's complaint, they all shook their heads for a while. Naiban is a straightforward man, and it is indeed difficult for him to swallow his anger if he is angry with those villains.
Tuhuan coughed lightly, and just wanted to comfort Naiman, but swallowed the words back.
Jin Xin couldn't help but stand up, walked up to Cheng Yue, hugged his fists and said, "Lord Wang, the minister also has something to say." ”
Cheng Yue smiled and said, "Say it." ”
Jin Xin said: "Lord Wang, Chen and Han Xiyu are juniors, and they are Koreans, and they came to worship in the capital this time, and they didn't think about the scenery, but the reward that should be given must not be in vain, right?" ”
Cheng Yue was slightly stunned and said, "What? Didn't you get the reward from the military department? ”
Jin Xin smiled bitterly and said: "The prince personally recounted the credit for us in front of the Great Khan, and the Great Khan was also approved, so it stands to reason that there will be no accidents." As a result, the officials said that the submissions, clothes and official seals of the promotion had been delivered, but the military department was in difficulty. The reward set by the prince cannot be taken out by the military department for a while, but we can also understand it. But I don't know who gave the order to reward the Mongol army that gave the expedition first, then the Semu army, and finally the Han army, our Goryeo army, and the Jurchens who surrendered. The prince knew that there were as many as 70,000 or 80,000 Mongol and Semu troops in the Eastern Expedition, and it was not until the last few days of the year that the rewards of the Semu army were gathered. When the minister asked someone from the military department, he only said that our reward would be issued again after the year, but the military department had no money left. The minister inquired, and heard that someone intends to convert our reward into treasure money and distribute it, but how can the treasure money be paid in full? Half is good. The Han army, the Goryeo army, and the Jurchen army have a total of nearly 100,000 numbers, so many treasure money are taken out at once, and at least half of it will be folded again, how can we have a reward at that time? Fortunately, the prince sent someone to send New Year's goods and the prince's special reward, everyone was happy, killing pigs and sheep, and finally suppressed the dissatisfaction of the soldiers, otherwise, there would inevitably be commotion in the army. ”
