Chapter 44: Defend the Capital to the Death
Unexpectedly, Hu Guang waved his hand to stop the waiter from trying the dishes, and said with a smile: "The soldiers are all eating. Is it possible that there are still problems? There is no need to try!"
After he finished speaking, he picked up his chopsticks, stretched out his hand to pick up a piece of food, and started eating immediately like he would eat with his colleagues in later generations.
While eating, Hu Guang was thinking about this nineteen-year-old body. Although he was already the father of a child, he was still growing. For that reason, I wore a suit of armor and worked hard all morning, but my stomach was really rumbled with hunger. Now I feel better, I finally have something to eat, beautiful!
Seeing the emperor eating so naturally and without disgust, the jaws of the first floor dropped in shock. These generals, including Man Gui, all thought they were being blinded.
For them, even if the emperor is just pretending, it is already a great gift. Unexpectedly, the emperor was not just showing off, he really didn’t dislike them!
For hundreds of years in the country, the status of warriors has been there. No matter who they are, even if they are exiled officials, they have deep contempt for them. Over time, as warriors, they have actually become accustomed to it.
Unexpectedly, today, the emperor of the empire does not have a trace of dislike or any pretentiousness. Compared with what Li Fengxiang did before, there is no comparison at all!
At this moment, for some reason, Man Gui felt like something was coming out of his eyes. He couldn't help but knelt down on one knee again and clasped his fists, and with a hint of choking, he said loudly: "The final general will defend the capital to the death!"
"The last general will defend the capital to the death!" The other generals were also similar to Man Gui. They heard the clanking sound of their armors clashing, and the whole building fell to their knees, expressing their feelings in unison.
At this moment, no one has selfish motives anymore, no one is just doing it for routine. Everyone made such a voice from the bottom of their hearts.
"Ding, the achievement value is +1, from the general soldier Mangui!"
"Ding, achievement value +2, from General School A!"
"Ding, achievement value +2, from General School B!"
"..."
Their movements and the sudden system prompts startled Hu Guang, who didn't know what was going on. How could I get achievement points just for eating by myself? Could it be that I have reached the point where I can be handsome enough to be admired from the bottom of my heart while eating?
When he turned to look at the generals who had knelt down again and saw the tears of excitement hidden in their eyes, he suddenly understood that this was not a question of whether they were handsome or not!
Hu Guang stood up, smiled and raised his hands and said: "Now during the meal, we will talk about the city defense later. Come on, come on, let's have a meal together. Once we are full, we can do some work!"
The emperor's words were almost the same as what Eunuch Li had said before, except for the last sentence. But at this time, Man Gui and others heard it, but it was like the sound of nature, and the other was the noise of a toad, which was completely different.
They all bowed their heads solemnly, and then stood up. Mangui, the leader, reported: "Your Majesty, the general is already full."
"Yes, the general is full. Your Majesty, please use it!" The generals and commanders all spoke excitedly. With the emperor like this, even if he has been hungry for a whole day, his stomach is already full. The emperor is the Son of Heaven, and you must not desecrate the emperor's meals. Just look at them and you will be satisfied.
If today's incident were told later, no one in the army would believe it. But I can swear to God that the emperor has absolutely no intention of discriminating against or looking down upon warriors. With the emperor like this, selling this life to the emperor is worth it!
Holding chopsticks in one hand, Hu Guang suddenly realized something when he saw the excited expressions of these military generals. The Ming Dynasty suppressed military generals deeply enough. As long as it could treat them fairly, it might be possible to use force to control civil servants. They would be an important help in carrying out reforms and fighting against civilian officials.
Hu Guang couldn't help but get very excited when he thought of this possibility, and he naturally showed that he was happy. He decided to go back and think about it carefully.
Thinking this way, my appetite was whetted unconsciously, and I immediately started eating in big mouthfuls. And this performance immediately strengthened the thoughts of these warriors.
Not to mention that Hu Guang wanted to discuss with Man Gui about setting a trap for Obei after eating, but that the civil servants at the Refugee Office dispersed after the emperor left. Among them, Cao Yubian, the censor of Zuodu, sneaked all the way home and did not go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Instead, he went to the mansion of Han Xu, the former chief minister of the Ming Dynasty. Not long after, the two old men met in the study room of 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 dismissed by the emperor, so much so that he did not even mention the matter of reinstating the chief minister."
When Han Xu heard this, he couldn't help but feel disappointed. However, he did not show it. He poured tea for Cao Yubian himself and comforted him: "Mr. Cao does not need to blame himself. For some reason, the emperor seems to be a different person since yesterday. It is really difficult for him not to act according to common sense." Speculate!”
After finishing speaking, he sat back in his seat and asked curiously: "How did the emperor deal with it today? After such a long time, it should be comforted, right?"
In his opinion, so many imperial censors and other courtiers were mobilized to cry at the Meridian Gate. From his understanding, Emperor Chongzhen had a good face and would definitely appease him.
After hearing this, Cao Yubian thought of the scene at the Meridian Gate and couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The first assistant thought differently, it didn't take long at the Meridian Gate. The reason why the little old man came late was because something else happened. "
Having said this, he sighed again: "Ah, what happened today is simply hard to describe in words!"
When he said this, Han Xu became even more curious. He couldn't help but lean forward slightly, got a little closer to Cao Yubian and asked, "What is it about this situation that makes Mr. Cao feel so emotional?"
Cao Yubian didn't hide anything from him. While drinking tea, he told him everything that happened in the morning gate and the refugee area.
After saying this, he shook his head and sighed: "The emperor's behavior and words are so unpredictable that it is really unpredictable. He is really old. After what happened today, the little old man thought that he should retire and return to his hometown!"
When Han Xu heard this, he completely forgot about his surprise when he heard about Emperor Chongzhen's deeds. He immediately advised in a panic: "What did Mr. Cao say? You are still young! What will the Metropolitan Procuratorate do if you retreat?" "
Cao Yubian is already seventy-two years old. It is normal for him to have the idea of retiring and returning to his hometown when he meets someone like Hu Guang who troubles him. But Han Xu was only sixty-six years old, which was the golden age for senior officials of the Ming Dynasty. How could he be willing to retire and return to his hometown without being the first assistant?
Therefore, as soon as he heard Cao Yubian's words, he subconsciously persuaded him and pointed out the key point.
