Zhao Bing did not give a small meal in the army, nor did he enjoy the food he was the commander. Instead, he chose a nearby camp house to have a meal and paid the fee. This was not to show that he shared the joys and sorrows with the officers and soldiers, nor to take the opportunity to examine the quality of the army's food, but to make it purely for convenience.

Of course, out of caution, Xu Hong also worried that someone would take the opportunity to poison the emperor and want to start a group alone. But Zhao Bing felt that it was unnecessary. They were randomly selected and not specified in advance. Moreover, the Song army basically set up a group of troops in a battalion. Hundreds of people were eating in one pot, and the rice they ate would not be poisonous.

Xu Hong thought that this was true. Even if someone wanted to poison, he could not determine where it was. Moreover, the departments were very strict in their care, especially the food was checked by the military doctor to see if there were any corrupt materials and whether water was safe. To put it bluntly, so many people "tested the poison" for His Majesty, which was safer than they were careful to stare at.

However, the whole imperial camp eats big pot rice. Although it is full and it is considered good, the variety is still relatively single. Especially in this cold and frozen season, radish and ginger are the main owners of the house. Occasionally, they will grind tofu into a certain camp, which can be considered as improving their lives. But this is much better than the meals of ordinary people.

When establishing the army, although Zhao Bing advocated equality of officers and soldiers in his previous life, he also knew the current market conditions. When determining the class, he allowed the commanders and above officials to open small dishes and enjoy higher dietary standards. Therefore, the small dishes and exquisiteness of the heads of each department were much better than the large stove, especially those delicious owners, who always had a way to get some good things that were not seen on the market.

When Zhao Bing returned to the tent, some guards had packed two long tables filled with dishes brought by the generals. He looked at it and might be afraid of their simplicity and had no courage, but they could also be called delicacies.

"Your Majesty, this is the deer I hunted today. I specially asked the chef to shave two pieces of good meat and make deer jerky!" Chen Fenglin showed off first.

"I am not as interested as Dutong Chen. I picked up a few wild pheasants that were killed by artillery and let the cook roast it. The taste was still good!" Ran Anguo said with a smile.

"I'm lucky. I set up camp on the riverside. The soldiers dig ice to get water. They actually caught a lot of big fish and let them cook it for His Majesty to taste it!" Yu Yue also rushed to introduce.

"Yesterday, the grain officials went to Xuyi City to transport supplies and bought some fresh lotus roots. This is not a good thing on weekdays, but in this wilderness, it is also a side dish of Qingkou!" Liu Zhixue said.

"Okay, I've seen it all. I'll know if it's delicious or not!" Zhao Bing sat down at the first place and asked the generals to sit around the table and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After all the generals bowed, they did not take their seats according to the official ranks, but sat down in the order of the elders and the young.

"We haven't been so neat for some years. Everyone doesn't have to be polite if they are in the past!" Zhao Bing glanced at everyone. The five military commanders of the infantry, three division commanders of the cavalry, and two commanders of the artillery. They can be said to be their old team. Now that they gathered here, he felt a little dazed, as if he was back in the past.

"Your Majesty, since you are getting together, can you lift the ban on drinking today?" Li Zhen, the commander of the Third Cavalry Division, asked with a smile.

"Well..." Zhao Bing pondered for a moment, looked at everyone's expectant gaze, and thought, "Xu Hong went to Xiu Wang to get two jars of good wine and invited him to come with him!"

"Thank you for your kindness!" After hearing this, the generals thanked in unison. They all knew that Your Majesty had always been very strict in the army. They also had to ban alcohol in the camp on weekdays. When performing combat missions, everyone in the upper and lower levels had to ban alcohol, and those who violated the violators were severely punished. Therefore, no one dared to bring wine, and Li Zhen didn't give any hope to raise any fun. He didn't expect the emperor to be sure.

"Don't be hypocritical!" Zhao Bing scolded with a smile. He understood that everyone was not drinking wine, but intended to show their intimacy with him. Speaking of which, the emperor made an exception for them to relieve the ban on drinking. This was a small matter between them, but to outsiders, it sounded like a great thing, so they would naturally be respectful of them.

After everyone talked for a while, Zhao Mengjin arrived. Since he entered the General's Mansion, he has been the head of the government army and has always served as the head of the Five Army. These people here can be said to have been his generals. Although they have now left the army, they are also princes. The generals stood up to greet him and asked him to sit down next to the emperor's left hand.

"Although Your Majesty is allowed to drink today, no one should drink too much. The limit is to three jars. Everyone should be careful of serving the army sticks!" The wine brought by Zhao Mengjin was naturally the favorite soju in the army. He asked someone to pour it for everyone, and he told the rules before raising the glass, and of course everyone agreed in unison.

Everyone walked along the way, and after two glasses of strong wine, they talked too much. Naturally, they talked about the old things that happened in the past. Yiqi, who had fought bloody battles together in the past, couldn't help but feel sad. Thinking of those comrades who had already died in the battlefield early all sighed. Then they talked about the current military exercises, but complained to each other that the other party ignored the friendship of the past, refused to hold back, embarrassing themselves.

"Think about how we could have had a meal of meat for two days, but now we have a better life. We have been awarded titles and generals one by one. I heard that some of you are not satisfied. They also have to buy tricks and take concubines, and go to the land to indulge their subordinates in making trouble without reason!" After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Zhao Mengjin put down his wine glass and glanced at everyone and said.

"Why did Du Shuai say this? We all follow the teachings of Your Majesty and Du Shuai. How could we do those lusty things!" Chen Fenglin said with a smile.

"Haha, it may not be!" Zhao Mengjin sneered and pointed at them, "Although I have left the army and ignored military affairs, I have heard that some court officials have repeatedly impeached you. Their memorials are not tall, but eight feet tall!"

"They are handsome, and those civil officials like to pick bones in eggs. It is even bigger than fighting to make the needle bigger!" Zhuang Siqi smiled.

"Zhuang Dutong is right. Those civil officials in the capital did not know the hard work in the army. They just saw that we were awarded titles and rewarded them so much, but they didn't expect that they were all obtained by our licking blood at the edge of the knife!" Yu Yue agreed.

"Yes, those local officials are also very difficult to deal with. They have to report to the court for big things. They are troubled. They seem to say nothing about us. The official is incompetent!" Liu Hong seemed to say the same feeling.

"Do you all think these are trivial matters?" Zhao Mengjin waved his hand to stop the complaints of others, "Fenglin, you are domineering in Xuzhou to fight for power and act in a domineering manner. In the name of maintaining border defense, you control the opening and closing time of the tentative situation and interfere with local civil affairs. Do you admit it?"

"This..." Chen Fenglin looked embarrassed and defended him, "Xuzhou Prefecture ignored border affairs and accepted the border people who crossed the border without authorization, causing border provocation. I had a dispute with them for this. And I interfered in the affairs of the case because the Mongolian Yuan violated the peace talks. I wanted to close the case to show punishment. This is nothing wrong with it!"

"Hmph, the court has already decided on the matters of the matter. The Ministry of Revenue and the local prefectures are responsible for assisting. Is it necessary to punish the Mongolian Yuan by the court? Is it your turn to be irresponsible?" Zhao Mengjin said with a stern face after hearing this, "For border affairs, the court will hand over to the local prefectures to deal with, and the prefectures are responsible for the defense. Your hand is too long!"

"The last general is also thinking about the court..." Chen Fenglin said as he saw Zhao Mengjin's face turned gloomy and stopped talking.

"Zhuang Siqi, you said that you pick bones in the eggs in the local area, and the pipe is too wide, right?" Zhao Mengjin looked at Zhuang Siqi again and said.

"I just said it!" Although Zhao Mengjin became a free prince, he was still powerful. Zhuang Siqi, who was preparing to pick up food, quickly put down his chopsticks and sat down and replied.

"I heard that a commander under your command had a dispute with the people for trivial matters, and he actually dispatched troops to demolish his house and was sued by the officials. Not only did you not punish him, but you also shelter him and refused to hand him over to trial. Is this a matter a matter of people to pick on others?" Zhao Mengjin asked.

"This... we will punish him and beat him up fifty military sticks and compensate him for the losses, but their county government still held him back and insisted on taking him to trial. I think the magistrate is only a seventh-rank official, but he wants a fifth-rank commander to be tried. Then what is the power of our army and how can he have face!" Zhuang Siqi said unconvincedly.

"Your Third Army is so awesome!" Zhao Mengjin slapped the table and shouted, "You are becoming more arrogant. You are so arrogant that you are so arrogant that you are so indifferent to the court and cannot tell the truth. You can demolish other people's houses for the sake of face. If you are wronged, will you still lead troops to kill officials and rebel?"

"The last general...the last general dares!" Zhuang Siqi quickly stood up and saluted.

"Hmph, I don't know you dare. If you do this, you don't need your Majesty to take action, I will kill you in the moment!" Zhao Mengjin snorted coldly.

"I'm so reckless!" Zhuang Siqi's face was covered in sweat at this time, but he didn't dare to raise his hand to wipe it, and murmured.

"Yu Yue, are you from a farmer?" Zhao Mengjin stopped looking at Zhuang Siqi and asked Yu Yue, who was sitting at the end of the table.

"I was born in a farmer family, and my ancestors all made a living by farming!" Yu Yue was named, and knew something was wrong, so he quickly stood up and replied.

"Since you are born in a farmer family, you should know the hard work of farming." Zhao Mengjin asked, nodded and said, "You cavalry horses of the First Division ate the seedlings. The landlord and the soldiers distinguished each other and asked for compensation. They were beaten by them, which caused dissatisfaction among the people and almost caused chaos in the people. But you asked the local area for crimes and kept the matter hidden and refused to report it. It was so powerful!"

"..." Yu Yue was embarrassed and dared not tell the difference.

"Li Hong, your department trained live ammunition last year, and the shells fell into the village, causing many villagers to be injured. Not only did you not report it, but you also interfered with local investigations and threatened the villagers not to sue. I suppressed this matter and did it so hard!" Zhao Mengjin pointed at Li Hong and sneered.

"I'll do something wrong. Please punish me!" Li Hong immediately turned into a cold sweat after hearing the wine he drank. He consciously hid the matter very well, but he didn't expect it to be reported. Now Zhao Mengjin, who is unemployed, knows it, and the emperor must have known it a long time ago.
