Chapter 208 Giving a Banquet (Fourth Change)

The Jingying camp is stationed in the prosperous capital, guarding the capital, and its status is obviously higher than that of the frontier army in the barren land, there is no doubt about it.If you can enter the Beijing camp from the frontier army, it will be regarded as a promotion for these lowest-level soldiers.

Therefore, these servants of Ma Shilong could hardly believe their ears after hearing this.But those smart servants quickly came to their senses. Just as the emperor said, when the court was employing people, Jianlu almost broke into the capital. Naturally, they hoped that the capital would be composed of elite soldiers.And Ma Shilong's servants like himself are a good source of soldiers.

The only thing these servants are good at is fighting.If they were disarmed and returned to the fields, they would probably have to starve to death, otherwise they would fall into the grass and become bandits, or defect to other people as servants.Instead of this, why not join Beijing Camp!
Therefore, after Man Gui announced the court's decree, not long after, most of the family members expressed their gratitude to the emperor for his kindness and asked to join the Beijing camp.

As the admiral of the Beijing camp, Man Gui naturally hoped that his subordinates would be elite.His original servants fought to the death with Jianlu outside the capital city, and in the end there were only a few hundred of them left, and many of them were injured.

Therefore, of course he wanted to have elite fighters under his command.During yesterday's discussion, when the emperor said that Ma Shilong's family was swallowed up by the Beijing camp, he was very happy. When he took the order, his voice was so loud that it was heavenly.

But there is one thing, these people who joined the Beijing camp will no longer be anyone's servants in the future, but soldiers registered in the Ministry of War.

With everyone happy, Man Gui immediately ordered the reorganization.His time was limited, and he had to complete the reorganization before those low-level officers came back, which was planned in advance.

At this time, these low-level military officers in Tiananmen Square had just listened to the introduction of the Daming Loyalty Hall by Commander Jin Yiwei.Then they were queuing up, and a small number of people entered the Daming Loyalty Hall for a field visit.It would take a long time for so many people to visit.

At the same time, in the Hall of the Emperor, the meritorious deeds, or rewards and punishments, of Qin Wangzheng were basically completed.

At this time, it was already afternoon, and the civil and military officials were already hungry, so the emperor ordered to leave the court and left immediately.

However, among the military generals, as long as the Qin Wangjun generals were not imprisoned for crimes, they would all be transferred to the Hall of Martial Arts, and the emperor would reward them with a banquet.

This can be regarded as a proper meaning, and it is logical, but no one thinks too much about it.However, Wen Tiren and others who participated in the discussion yesterday knew that this was to prevent these senior generals from returning to the camp and to drag them back.Otherwise, given the shortage of food in the capital, they wouldn't be giving a banquet in the Hall of Martial Heroes!

However, the so-called banquet was completely devoid of the delicacies of mountains and seas, big fish and big meat as imagined.On everyone's table, there are only four steamed buns, a side dish, and a small jug of wine.

Before the emperor came, all the generals couldn't help but looked at each other when they saw such a banquet.Even if they camp outside the city, what they usually eat is better than this!

But after thinking about it, there were maids and servants standing beside her, so no one dared to complain.Especially when they looked up and found that there were only white flour steamed buns on the side of the imperial case, just like them, and even two steamed buns were missing, they didn't dare to choke.

At this time, these generals were hungry, and the steamed buns were still attractive to them.However, before the emperor arrived, they could not move their chopsticks.I could only smell the aroma of the steamed buns they disdained, and my stomach gurgled from time to time.

Out of boredom, many generals looked around, and it was very rare for them to come to the Hall of Martial Heroes, so they had to take a good look.

After watching for a long time, their eyes could not help but focus on the position near the imperial case, and settled on Zu Dashou.

From being the commander in chief guarding one side to being an idle job, although the rank of the official is high, what's the use of it?Seeing Zu Dashou sitting there with his head down in a daze with a cold face, many generals couldn't help being secretly happy.

If Zu Dashou hadn't run away, even if he didn't have a title like Man Gui, he would never have risen and fallen secretly!Everyone is well aware of this point. In the final analysis, it was caused by the impact of that incident. How could the emperor still reuse him? It is a favor not to kill him!

Just as they were gloating, the sound of "the emperor is coming" sounded, and immediately, they all left the table and knelt down to welcome them.

Hu Guang changed into regular clothes and wore a black yarn winged crown, which is quite handsome.With a smile on his face, he walked to the imperial seat and sat down, then waved his hands and said with a smile: "Everyone, let's be flat!"

These generals stood up after Shanhu Long live, returned to their seats, all restrained their emotions, and sat there solemnly.

As a result, the Hall of Martial Arts fell silent.Unfortunately, in this quiet environment, it is not known whose stomach "grunt" sounded, which then caused the stomachs of several generals to "grunt" along with it.

Hu Guang laughed when he heard it, and immediately raised his hand to signal: "It's already past the meal time, everyone should be hungry, come, let's all eat!"

When the emperor spoke, the generals in the hall picked up their chopsticks one after another, picked up a white flour steamed bun, and took a shallow bite.No way, you have to pay attention to etiquette in front of the imperial court.Military generals are already called rough people, if they still stutter, it will be a joke to spread the word.

But these generals just took a shallow bite, and it was gone before chewing, which felt very uncomfortable.

Hu Guang kept looking at them, and couldn't help but smile again when he saw this situation, then he reached out to pick up a white flour steamed bun, and then said: "You don't have to worry about it, in my opinion, it doesn't matter whether you stutter a lot or a small stutter. There is no difference, as long as you don't disturb others, you can eat comfortably!"

When he spoke, these generals naturally looked up at him.Seeing that the emperor was actually holding a steamed bun, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback.Later, seeing the emperor took a big mouthful of steamed buns and chewing them, he couldn't help being even more surprised.But then they envied the emperor to eat steamed buns in their hearts, and they seemed to enjoy eating it, which is really strange!

After Hu Guang finished eating, seeing those generals still looking at him, he motioned for the steamed bun in his hand and said with a smile, "Eat it!"

The emperor said again, and these generals were no longer polite, and they all ate big mouthfuls while being grateful in their hearts.Half of the white flour steamed bun disappeared in one bite, and the mouth was full of chewing, which felt extremely enjoyable.

Seeing that they were eating, Hu Guang continued: "Nowadays, the supplies in the capital are in short supply, and the food is also under control. No matter outside or inside the palace, we must also save food. Therefore, I know that this banquet is simple. , but it’s something that can’t be helped! When my Ming treasury is full and the supplies are abundant in the future, I will definitely invite Zhu Qing to the banquet again, and at that time, the delicacies of mountains and seas will definitely make Zhu Qing happy!”
