Chapter 44
Unexpectedly, Hu Guang waved his hand to stop the waiter from trying the dishes again, and said with a smile: "The soldiers are all eating well, maybe there are still problems, there is no need to try!"

After he finished speaking, he picked up the chopsticks and reached out to pick up a piece of food with the chopsticks, just like eating with his colleagues in later generations, he immediately started eating.

While eating, Hu Guang thought, although this 19-year-old body is already the child's father, his body is still growing.For that, I wore a whole body of armor and survived the whole morning, my stomach was really hungry.It's better now, and I can finally eat something, beautiful!
Seeing that the emperor was eating naturally without disdain, the first floor's jaw dropped in shock.These generals, including Man Gui, thought they were delusional.

For them, even if the emperor is putting on a show, it is already a great gift.But I didn't expect that the emperor didn't pretend to be, but really didn't dislike them!
For hundreds of years in the Kingdom, the status of warriors has been there. No matter who it is, even an exiled official, they all have deep-seated contempt for them.Over time, as warriors, they have actually gotten used to it.

But I didn't expect that today, the emperor of the empire, there is no trace of disgust, and there is no trace of affectation.Compared with what Li Fengxiang did before, there is no comparison at all!
At this moment, for some reason, Man Gui felt that something was about to come out of his eyes.He involuntarily knelt on one knee and clasped his fists again, with a slight sob, he said loudly: "The general will swear to the death to protect the capital!"

"The last general swears to die to protect the capital!" The other generals were similar to Man Gui, and when they heard the clanging of armor, everyone in the building fell to their knees, expressing their hearts in unison.

At this moment, no one is selfish anymore, no one is just doing it for routine.Everyone made such voices from the bottom of their hearts.

"Ding, the achievement value is +1, it comes from the commander-in-chief!"

"Ding, achievement value +2, from general school armor!"

"Ding, achievement value +2, from General School B!"

"..."

Their movement, and the sudden system prompt, startled Hu Guang, who didn't know where he was.How could he gain achievement points after eating a meal? Could it be that he is so handsome that he can be admired from the bottom of his heart even after eating?

When he turned his head to look at these generals who knelt down again, and saw the excited tears hidden in their eyes, he suddenly understood that it was not a matter of being handsome or not!

Hu Guang stood up, raised his hands with a smile and said: "Now it's time to eat, let's talk about the city defense later, come, come, let's eat together, we can do things when we are full!"

Except for the last sentence, the emperor's words are similar to what Eunuch Li said before.But at this moment, to Man Gui and the others, it sounded like a sound of nature, and the other was the croaking noise of a toad, which was completely different.

They all bowed their heads solemnly before standing up.Man Gui took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, the last general is already full."

"Yes, the general is full, Your Majesty, take it easy!" The generals followed up excitedly one by one, with the emperor like this, even if he was hungry for a whole day, his stomach was already full.The emperor is the son of heaven, and he must not desecrate the emperor's meal, and he is satisfied with it.

Today's matter, if it is told later, no one in the army will believe it.But I can swear a poisonous oath to the sky, the emperor has absolutely no intention of discriminating against or looking down on warriors.With the emperor like this, it is worth it to sell this life to the emperor!

Holding chopsticks in one hand, Hu Guang suddenly realized something when he saw the excited expressions of these generals.The Ming Dynasty suppressed military commanders deeply enough, as long as they could treat them fairly, they might be able to use martial arts to control civil affairs. They would be an important help for their own reforms and struggles with civil officials.

Thinking of this possibility, Hu Guang couldn't help being very excited, and he was naturally happy when he showed it. He decided to go back and think about it.

Thinking of this, my appetite opened up unconsciously, and I started to eat in big mouthfuls.And this performance immediately made these warriors firm their minds.

Not to mention that Hu Guang had to discuss with Man Gui about trapping Oboi after eating, but it was said that the civil servants in the refugee office dispersed after the emperor left.Among them, Cao Yubian, the censor of Zuodu, sneaked all the way, not going home, nor going to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but instead went to the residence of Han Yu, the former chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty.Not long after, the two old men met in the study of the Han Mansion.

Cao Yubian first took a sip of hot tea to drive away the cold, then shook his head and sighed: "The little old man is incompetent. Today's matter was dismissed and beaten by the emperor so much that he didn't even mention the reinstatement of the chief assistant."

When Han Yu heard this, he couldn't help but feel disappointed.However, he did not show it, and poured tea for Cao Yubian himself, and at the same time comforted him: "Mr. Cao, there is no need to blame yourself. For some reason, the emperor seems to have changed since yesterday. It is really difficult to play cards not according to common sense." Guess!"

After finishing speaking, he also sat back in his seat, and asked a little curiously: "How did the emperor deal with it today? After so long, it should be comforted?"

In his opinion, mobilizing so many censors and other courtiers to go to the Meridian Gate to cry, based on his understanding, Emperor Chongzhen's good face must be appeased.

After hearing this, Cao Yubian thought of the scene at the Meridian Gate, and couldn't help but shook his head and smiled wryly again: "The first minister's thoughts went wrong, it didn't take long at the Meridian Gate. The reason why the little old man came late was because something else happened. "

Speaking of this, he sighed again: "Ah, what happened today is simply beyond words!"

What he said made Han Yu even more curious. He couldn't help leaning forward slightly, and after getting closer to Cao Yubian, he asked, "What is it that makes Cao Gong so emotional?"

Cao Yubian didn't hide it from him, and while drinking tea, he told what happened in the morning gate and the refugee area.

After he finished speaking, he shook his head and sighed: "Your Majesty behaves like a powerful and unconstrained horse, which is really unpredictable. I am really old. After what happened today, I think I should just retire and return home!"

When Han Yu heard this, he completely forgot how surprised he was when he heard about Emperor Chongzhen's deeds just now, and immediately persuaded him in a panic: "What did Mr. Cao say, you are still young! If you quit, what will the Metropolitan Procuratorate do? "

Cao Yubian is already 72 years old. It is normal for him to have the idea of ​​resigning from his old age and returning to his hometown when he meets such a troublesome person as Hu Guang.But Han Yu was only 66 years old, and it was the golden age for high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty. How could he be willing not to be the chief assistant, and just retire and return home.

Therefore, as soon as he heard Cao Yubian's words, he subconsciously persuaded him, and even pointed out the key point.
