207 Feast
The Beijing camp is stationed in the prosperous capital and guards the capital. Its status is obviously higher than that of the border troops in the border areas. There is no doubt about this. If you can enter the Beijing camp from the border troops, it will be considered a high promotion for these lowest-level soldiers.
Therefore, after hearing this, these Ma Shilong's servants could hardly believe their ears. However, those smart servants quickly came to their senses. As the emperor said, when the imperial court was employed, Jianlu almost attacked the capital, so naturally they hoped that the capital camp would be composed of elite soldiers. And these Ma Shilong's servants were a good source of troops.
The only thing these servants are good at is fighting. If they are removed from the army and returned to the fields, they will probably starve to death. Otherwise, they will become bandits or join other people as servants. Instead of doing this, it is better to join the Beijing camp!
Therefore, after Man Gui announced the imperial decree, not long after, most of the servants expressed their gratitude to the emperor for their grace and demanded 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 against Jianlu to death outside the capital, and in the end they were only a few hundred left, and many of them were injured.
Therefore, of course, he wanted elite soldiers who dared to fight. During yesterday's discussion, he was very happy when he heard the emperor say that he had let the Beijing camp swallow Ma Shilong's servants, and when he was receiving the order, his voice was louder than the sky.
However, one thing is that these people who joined the Beijing camp will no longer be servants of anyone, but will be soldiers registered in the Ministry of War.
Everyone was very happy, Man Gui immediately ordered the reorganization. His time was limited and he had to complete the reorganization before the low-level officers came back. This was planned in advance.
At this time, these low-level officers in Tiananmen Square had just heard the Jinyiwei commander Tongzhi introduce the Daming Zhonglie Hall. Then they were queuing up, and a small number of people entered the Daming Zhonglie Hall for a field visit. It would take a long time to visit so many people.
At the same time, in the Huangji Palace, the reward or reward of Guan Wang's merits and punishments were basically completed.
It was already afternoon, and all the civil and military officials were already hungry. The emperor ordered him to leave the court and immediately left.
However, as long as the generals of the generals who were not imprisoned for crimes, they would be transferred to Wuying Hall and the emperor would give him a banquet to reward him.
This is a natural meaning, and it is natural, and no one thinks too much. However, Wen Tiren and others who participated in the discussion yesterday knew that this was not allowing these senior generals to return to the camp and drag them. Otherwise, due to the tight food in the capital, they would not have given a banquet in Wuying Hall!
However, the so-called gift banquet is completely different from the delicacies and fish and meat that you think are as big as you imagine. On each table, there are only four white flour steamed buns, a plate of side dishes, and a small pot of wine.
Before the emperor came, the generals could not help but look at each other when they saw such a banquet. Even in the camp outside the city, they usually eat better than this!
But no matter how much I think about it, there were palace maids and eunuchs standing next to me, and no one dared to complain. Especially when they looked up, they found that there were only white-floured steamed buns on the imperial case. Like them, they even had two steamed buns missing, so they didn't dare to quarrel.
At this time, the generals were hungry, and the steamed buns were still attractive to them. However, before the emperor arrived, they could not move their chopsticks. They had to smell the aroma of steamed buns they disdained, and their stomachs were constantly moving.
When they were bored, many generals looked around and it was rare for them to come to Wuying Palace once, so they should take a good look.
After watching for a while, their eyes were involuntarily focused on the position close to the imperial case, and they set them on Zu Dashou.
From a general guarding one side to a idle position. Although his official position is high, what is the use of this? Many generals couldn't help but feel secretly happy when they saw Zu Dashou's face coldly and sitting there in a daze.
If Zu Dashou hadn't escaped at the last minute, even if he didn't have a title like Man Gui, he would never have risen openly and secretly! Everyone knows this. After all, it was due to the influence of that incident. How could the emperor use it more to him? It would be a blessing if he didn't kill him!
Just as they were gloating, a sound of "The Emperor's Arrival" sounded, and they all left the seat and knelt down to greet them.
Hu Guang changed into a regular dress and a black winged crown, which was quite handsome. With a smile, he walked to the imperial seat and sat down, and waved his hand and said, "Let's be calm!"
After shouting for a long time, these generals stood up and returned to their seats. They all calmed down and sat there seriously.
So, the Wuying Palace became quiet. Unfortunately, in this quiet environment, someone's stomach sounded "gurgling", which then caused the stomachs of several generals to follow.
Hu Guang laughed as soon as he heard this, and immediately raised his hand and signaled: "The time for meals has passed long ago. Everyone should be hungry. Come and eat them all!"
When the emperor spoke, the generals in the hall picked up chopsticks, picked up a white-floured steamed bun, and took a light bite. There was no way, so you had to pay attention to etiquette in front of the emperor. The generals were originally called rough people, and if they were still chewy, it would be a joke if they spread it.
But these generals just took a light bite and disappeared before they could chew it. This felt very uncomfortable.
Hu Guang kept looking at them, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but smile again. Then he reached out to pick up a white steamed bun and said, "You guys don't have to worry about it. In my opinion, there is no difference between eating big or small stutter. As long as you don't get in the way of others, you can eat comfortably!"
When he spoke, the generals naturally looked up at him. Seeing that the emperor was holding the steamed bun in his hand, they couldn't help but be slightly stunned. Then they saw that the emperor actually bite a big bite of the steamed bun and chew it, and they couldn't help but be even more surprised. But then they actually envied the emperor in their hearts for eating steamed buns. It seemed that they were very enjoyable to eat, which was really strange!
After Hu Guang finished his bite, he saw the generals still looking at him, so he signaled the steamed buns in his hand and said with a smile: "Eat!"
The emperor said again, these generals were no longer polite. They were grateful and started eating them all in big mouthfuls. The white flour steamed bun was half gone in one bite, and their mouths were stuffed and chewed, and they felt extremely satisfying.
Seeing that they were eating, Hu Guang continued, "Now the capital is in short supply and food is under control. Whether outside or inside the palace, food must be saved. Therefore, I know this banquet is simple, but there is no way to do it! When our Ming Dynasty treasury is full and the supplies are abundant, I will invite you to the banquet again. At that time, the delicacies of mountains and seas will definitely make you happy!"
