"How?"

"How's that?"

"It's a meritorious evaluation!"

"Oh......"

They are all paying attention, especially to the group of military people who have returned to Nanling to serve in the army, and they all hope to get what status they will get.

The Han army quickly occupied the Central Plains in the north, marched towards the Yan land and the grassland, and recaptured the occupied Hetao from the Hu people, and could more or less make some contributions under a series of wars. If you think you have merit, it becomes natural to want to know what reward you can get.

"Ji Bu led the army to stabilize the Central Plains, and the Central Plains can quickly return to stability, and the king must be in his eyes."

"It's not bad, not to mention the prosperity of commerce in various places, just being able to smoothly purchase materials to support the front line is a great credit."

"Huh!"

"Haha!"

Two old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time, they boasted to each other and laughed. That is, the best friends will name them in the conversation, and it is not polite to call non-friends by name.

Some people who returned to Nanling from the front line, after they returned, they were faced with all kinds of dust-washing feasts, and friends who had not been in touch for a long time also took the opportunity to get together. The most talked about at the banquet was the evaluation of merit, hoping that their efforts would be recognized, and they also hoped that their status could be improved after the merit evaluation.

The group of people who followed Lu Zhe in the early days and started his struggle from Yiling had already formed their own social circles, and those outside the circle called them "Conglong faction" or "descendant faction", which may have a little sour meaning, but in fact, it is more envy.

Ji Bu, Gongwei, Xu Zhi, and Wei Han are the so-called best mixed people from the Dragon Sect. Anyway, now they are all the commanders of a legion, and some people have become generals, although they are temporary generals in the front, rear, left, and right of a certain dispatch army. But it's also a general! The best mixed is Ji Bu and Gong Lieutenant, now one is General Zhenbei and the other is General Zhenxi. Gongwei is not only the general of Zhenxi, but also the lieutenant of the northwest and the rear general of the grassland dispatch army.

Gongwei and the others did not return to Nanling, but some people such as Ji Bu, Chen Xuan, and Wu Liang came back. They didn't hold a banquet in someone's mansion, they found a restaurant to get together.

Not having a banquet in someone's house is not for the sake of taboo anything, but the empire has already formalized the name of the country. Some official positions are about to be adjusted, and the evaluation of meritorious service is also at a critical juncture, and they meet in public to send a signal, a signal of unity in the so-called Conglong faction.

"Those guys are partying too. It's just a street away from us. ”

"Who?"

"It's too much. There were some people from Shandong (referring to the Six Kingdoms), and a group of people from Qin were also gathering. ”

"What? Is it a demonstration? ”

"They demonstrate with us? Ha ha! ”

As long as there is no betrayal, the descendants are never afraid of any demonstrations, and whoever demonstrates to the faction of the king's cronies is purely unpleasant for themselves, and they don't take it seriously in their words, but more of a sense of superiority.

"Chen Yu, Zhang Er, Lu Chen, Song Yi, Tian Du, Tian Rong, Zang Di, Han Guang," Mian Dipper put down the wine cup: "There are many famous people in the Warring States, and some warriors are also present, and they are talking about the matter of inner and outer seals. ”

"Oh?" Ji Bu was curious: "It's for the old proposition." Or what's going on? ”

Qi Guoyi said, King Zhao has made it clear that he will not be sealed. Yan Guo was still hesitating. Just as he was about to continue speaking, there was a voice on the other side of the stairs, and he saw Yan Bi walking up, and what he was about to say became: "Busy man, punish yourself with three cups!" ”

"Punishment, must be punished!" There is never a shortage of people who make a noise.

"It's late, it's late, three glasses, right?" Yan Bi's eyes swept and saw that there was no one on the first desk on the left side of the seat, so he picked up the wine cup on the desk: "Wine." ”

There is no shortage of servants at any banquet, and the maids who have been preparing for a long time pour the wine from the wine that has been warmed a long time ago.

After drinking three glasses of water and wine, Yan Bi bowed to the people present, knelt down on the futon, and scanned the people attending the meeting with his eyes, and found that he was not only late but also the last person: "Three more cups!" ”

Everyone saw Yan Bi's arrogance, and some people, even if they had a pimple in their hearts, showed a sincere smile under Yan Bi's style.

"Gongwei is also on his way back, and he should return to Nanling in three or five days." Yan Bi drank six glasses in a row briskly, and wiped the wine stains with the wet wipes that had been prepared on the desk a long time ago: "There are also several lieutenant generals of the legion who came back together. ”

This news is so fresh that no one knows.

Ji Bu groaned: "The Hu people in the depths of the grassland are gathering in large numbers and are about to go south, is this appropriate?" ”

That is, Ji Bu, of course, everyone present is a faction, so that the words will pop out of Ji Bu's mouth.

As soon as Ji Bu said that, I don't know how many people stared at the maids and male servants who had been arranged by the restaurant to serve with warning eyes, and many of the maids and male servants were so frightened that their heads were about to shrink into their chests.

There is only one person who can order the Zhonglang generals of the various legions to return to Nanling, and that person has no one else except the imperial ruler Lu Zhe, Ji Bu asked that sentence purely because he was worried about whether the various legions without Zhonglang General could cope with the early harassment of the Hu people, not to accuse or doubt Lu Zhe's meaning.

"The hussar generals stayed in Woye, and the deputy generals and Changshi of the various legions also stayed," Yan Bi glanced at Ji Bu lightly, and then said with a smile: "There is no problem for the various Zhonglang generals to leave for a short time. ”

Everyone originally thought it was because of the large-scale canonization, but Yan Bi said that it was not like it.

Wu Liang said: "It should be after the Hu people go south that the canonization ceremony will be held." ”

Yan Bi nodded: "Yes, so they are all watching how many legions will participate in the battle this time." ”

Whether it's people from the military or other departments, you can figure it out with a little thought. This battle against the southbound Hu people is probably a large-scale dispatch of the imperial army, and it is estimated that there will be no chance of large-scale sorties in the future.

"The legions in Hetao, Yanmen County, Dai County, Shanggu County, Yuyang County and other places will definitely participate in the war, and some legions in the Central Plains region will also have the opportunity to go north to participate in the war. It's enviable. The person who said this was Su Lie, and he did not hide his envy at all: "There are so many legions in the position of participating in the battle or reinforcements, but we are staying in Nanling. Alas! ”

Mei Kai on the side was not slow to drink, but after Su Lie said that, he raised the wine cup even faster.

The forbidden army is the king's army, and there is nothing to say in terms of name and treatment, but for some people who want to obtain military merits, the name and treatment of the army are not the most important, what they are eager to be able to participate in wars again and again, and obtain the honor and glory of the warriors on the battlefield.

Mei Hong and Su Lie only moved last year. It would not be said that he would go to the Central Plains to participate in the war as an armed parade, and if he did not actually participate in the war, he would naturally not have any merit, and he saw a group of friends who continued to make meritorious contributions on both the battlefield and in the civil affairs system. They say they don't envy themselves, they are deceiving themselves.

"I hope the king will mobilize the forbidden army to go north." Mei Kai didn't keep her voice down.

"Yes." Chen Xuan, who served as a squire in the Taiwei Bureau, muttered in a low voice.

Mei Kai started as an archer, and his eyesight and ear skills are quite good. He heard Chen Xuan muttering in a low voice, the wine cup that was supposed to be sent to his mouth. Very quickly turned his head to look at Chen Xuan: "What do you say?" ”。 The rate of his breathing changed suddenly, and his hand exerted some strength from the excitement, and some of the wine in the cup spilled out.

"Don't get excited, don't get excited." Chen Xuan was a little frightened by Mei Kai's eager eyes, and hesitated again and again before saying, "The Taiwei Department is making campaign deployments. I just said such a sentence and didn't go on.

Mei Kai still wanted to ask, but Ji Bu opened his mouth to persuade him to drink.

All wars are more or less related to the Taiwei Administration, and in the case of a sudden war, the Taiwei Administration will naturally only send people to assist after the outbreak of war, while a premeditated war should be judged and deduced in advance by the Taiwei Administration. Chen Xuan, the squire, was in charge of the records in the Taiwei Bureau, and the officials who usually made the records must know more than the people in other positions.

Ji Bucha opened Mei Kai's questioning because he didn't want to embarrass Chen Xuan. Each department of the empire has its own administrative regulations, some things can be said but some things can't, that is related to the administrative secrecy regulations, Yan Bi, such a Shangshu of the Ministry of Supervision, is on the scene, Chen Xuan is not embarrassed, it is not just embarrassing.

Su Lie glanced at Yan Bi, then he looked at Chen Xuan again and began to roll his eyes.

Yan Bi naturally saw some of the actions of Mei Kai and Su Lie, two old friends who performed their duties in the forbidden army, and he could also see Chen Xuan's regretful expression, and he was a little funny and understandable at the same time.

The Ministry of Supervision is officially called the "Imperial Department of Foreign Affairs and Internal Investigation and Supervision", and the official name is "Public Prosecutor's Office", which is to spy on all possible intelligence and engage in some espionage acts externally, and to supervise officials at all levels internally.

At present, the main direction of the group's attack is to concentrate on the grasslands, and the other is to begin to deploy in the Western Regions to collect all available intelligence for future conquests in the Western Regions. In addition to the steppes and the Western Regions, the Prosecutor's Office has recently had some targets, such as Parthia, Batkeria, Donghui and other newly discovered countries or forces.

Internal supervision, however, had been in operation for a decade, at first for the retained officials who had captured the counties, and then for the army to be overseen after repeated expansions and the recruitment of many generals. At present, the Public Prosecutor's Office still retains the right to supervise civilian officials, but the supervision of the military has been transferred to the newly established Military Adjudication Office.

At a glance, you know that the so-called Military Adjudication Office must be named by Lu Zhe, in fact, the Military Adjudication Office is a modern military court, specializing in dealing with cases of military violations ~ discipline ~ violations ~ law. The department has no chief officer, that is, no director, and is composed of military judges from one of the regiments, and seven members are elected from all the regiments, and the voting system is adopted. Of course, the official position is not directly called a member, but will still be named according to the customs of Chinese civilization, such as the name of Shilang and Langzhong.

Su Lie didn't know when he had come to Chen Xuan's side, two burly warriors were crowded on a table with a length of one meter and five, one wanted to hide with a bitter face, the other kept making up with a smile, hiding and hiding, and Chen Xuan didn't pay attention and fell directly to the ground.

The movement of an adult falling on the wooden floor will not be small, and then some dining tools will be swept to the ground with a "bump", and everyone will stop talking and look over.

"You're in good shape, but why is it so empty?" Su Liele stretched out his hand to pull Chen Xuan, who was lying on the ground, up.

"You're just weak," Chen Xuan's original wry smile was gone, replaced by embarrassment and a trace of annoyance: "It's not that you have been making up!" ”

"I'll make it up, what are you hiding, and you're not a little girl, and you're still at a loss?" Su Lie said and directly pulled Chen Xuan up from the ground, turned his head to look at the person who was looking this way: "We are close and close, what should you do!" ”

A burst of laughter, after laughing, I really have to do what I should do, how can I know each other for more than ten years, the guys who were hungry at the beginning, some of them died in battle, some of them couldn't keep up with the pace, and they could still maintain friendship and have a similar status of the partner, who would be more serious because of the tone.

"I can't say!"

"Whisper, I won't tell anyone."

"Why are you like that? I've been annoying since I met you.,Originally, it didn't matter if it was a hundred generals.,Now it's all partial generals.。 Can you be a little biased, not so ruffian and deadly? ”

"Yo, speaking of official positions, the squire of the Taiwei Department is amazing, it's not the same as not going to the battlefield."

"What's the name of the saying? That's right, it's just ~ you ~ big ~ master! ”

Su Lie and so-and-so are not messing around with someone once or twice, and they are not simply limited to messing around with someone, as long as there are some people who can communicate for a long time, everyone has a time when Su Lie can't cry or laugh.

It's not a formal banquet, there is no need to talk about etiquette, they don't stay together to talk about any pomp, and they can still stay on their own desks at the beginning of the banquet.

There is no fixed topic for chatting between friends, and sometimes they are obviously very interested in discussing a certain matter, but while chatting, they are suddenly taken to the wrong topic, and the content of the conversation changes again and again.

Ji Bu has been away from the center for a long time, and there are many things to know, and the people present who can introduce the changes in the center in more detail have no one else except Yan Bi, and the two of them have put together a case.

The rest of the people were either two or a few people together, and there were also people who didn't participate in the chat and ran to hide from Qingjing, and Wu Liang was standing on the balcony looking at the street scene, and he found something that aroused interest.

If you follow Wu Liang's line of sight, you can see a man in a third-class baron's dress talking loudly, and on his left and right are a group of guards, and a group of people dressed as scribes and warriors are gathered together.

"Aren't those Liu Bang and his gang?"

Wu Liang turned his head when he heard the words, and saw that it was Mei Kai who spoke, and replied casually without thinking too much: "Yes." There are also the chief of the Yong clan and the patriarch of the Shu clan. ”

"Recently, Liu Bang has been moving around frequently, inviting people to go to South Asia together." Mei Kai didn't think it was much of a deal.

"Well, look at the direction of walking, it's to go to the restaurant where Chen Yu and the others are."

"They ......"

The two chatted in a casual tone, each thinking about their own business. (To be continued......)
