Back at the table, Zhang Ji thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

The emperor obviously had an objection to him, but he just held back and refused to speak.

Why should I bear it? I can't explain it clearly.

Maybe I wanted to spare him once and didn't care about him, maybe I was afraid of his strength and didn't want to cause trouble.

The emperor said that it was very important to let him do something, but he didn't say it directly and asked him to see him tomorrow.

Is this intentionally scaring him, or is it really important to tell him separately?

Zhang Ji couldn't explain it clearly. Sometimes he felt that the emperor valued him and had to rely on important responsibilities; sometimes he felt that the emperor might dig a hole for him and should be more careful.

But Zou was a little excited.

While looking at the emperor who was receiving the celebration of the generals, she thought about what the emperor had just said. The more she thought about it, the brighter the future.

Li Jue and Guo Si are dead, and her husband Zhang Ji is the highest-ranking general, so it is natural for the emperor to win over it. If Zhang Ji made contributions, he would become the wife of the imperial decree. If he gave birth to a son in the future, he would still be able to benefit his descendants.

It's so happy to think about it.

The only regret is that she has not given birth to a son.

Zou looked at Zhang Ji with a squinted eyes, quietly pursed his lips, and raised a light smile.

After Zhang Ji, Duan Wei, Yang Feng and others stepped forward to salute in turn.

Compared to Zhang Ji, who was restless, they were obviously much more relaxed.

From the seating arrangements, they knew it hard to say how much credit was, at least they would not have.

After a tour of drinking, Taichang Wang Jiang was about to announce the next process. Liu Xie made a gesture, called Wang Jiang to his side, and whispered a few words.

Wang Jiang hesitated for a moment and walked to Zhao Wen and Zhang Xi.

"Situ, Sikong, Your Majesty wants to pay tribute to the civil and military families."

"Why?" Zhao Wen frowned slightly.

"Your Majesty said that the victory of this battle is not only due to the efforts of the soldiers, but also the support of the family. If they had not been hungry and only had one meal a day and saved food for the soldiers, they might not have been able to last until the end."

Zhao Wen and Zhang Xi exchanged glances, got up and walked to the Nine Ministers' Chair, discussed with Shi Sun Rui for a few words, and finally nodded.

Wang Chang returned to Liu Xie, nodded, turned to face the minister, cleared his throat, and said loudly:

"Your Majesty has an edict to win this battle. First, the soldiers are not afraid of sacrifice and fight to the death with the enemy; second, the family is united and saves resources. Today, we will celebrate the achievements and reward both the soldiers and relatives."

When civil and military officials saw Zhao Wen and others discussing, they knew that something was wrong, and it was a big deal, otherwise they would not have made the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers so serious. Now they heard that the emperor was going to greet their families, which was a bit surprised.

But no one would object.

Liu Xie signaled to Fu Shou. The two stood up, walked through the passage between civil and military officials, and came outside the imperial camp.

The civil and military ministers did not dare to neglect them, so they stood up one after another and followed the emperor out of the camp.

Wang Jiang took the lead and sent people to various battalions to inform the battalions. There were originally many people watching outside the battalion, but now they heard that the emperor was going to make a special trip and expressed their gratitude to them. They were all excited and rushed out of the tent, crowded together, waiting to appreciate the beauty.

For both safety and for everyone to see clearly, Wang Jiang arranged for some men to stand on both sides of the emperor with torches.

Most of the officials and families on the plateau had seen Liu Xie and were not unfamiliar with the Queen Fu Shou. But at this moment, when the emperor was dressed up, the queen was in full bloom, and was very different from the approachable people she usually felt, and she suddenly felt her eyes wide open.

This is the royal style.

Wang Jiang greeted him repeatedly, asking the families of some ministers to come and asked someone to pour them wine.

Liu Xie raised his glass and delivered a speech, expressing his gratitude to the families of these ministers.

Although they were mentally prepared, when they heard the emperor express their gratitude to him in person, these families were still very excited. They held the wine glasses and burst into tears. For a moment, they shouted long live.

When the ministers saw this, they felt a little strange, and they felt that the hardships they had suffered before were worth it.

After respecting the ministers' families, Liu Xie came to the plateau again to greet the families of ordinary soldiers.

Standing so high and without a loudspeaker, no one could hear him even if he shouted. Fortunately, Wang Jiang reacted quickly and sent people to the battalions to announce the news in time, expressing the emperor's gratitude. Therefore, countless people stood in the camp below the battalion, looking at Liu Xie and Fu Shou on the plateau, and cheered with excitement without saying a word.

The soldiers who were celebrating their achievements with their families were particularly happy, enjoying the admiration of their wives and children, and even the scars on their bodies became glorious.

On and below the plateau, cheers came one after another, and the atmosphere reached its climax.

——

Yang Ding held his mount and looked at the imperial camp in front of him in surprise.

In the night, torches on the plateau were lined up like a golden edge.

In the center of this Phnom Penh, there was a group of people standing. Although they were too far away to see clearly, Yang Ding still guessed who it was.

"Mr. Yang, this is..." Yang Ding turned around and looked at Yang Xiu.

Yang Xiu didn't know what was going on, but when he heard the cheers that resounded through the sky, he knew it was not a bad thing.

"Since it is a celebration banquet, the atmosphere is naturally more lively. General, please leave quickly. If you can't catch up, it will be in vain."

Yang Ding nodded awkwardly and urged the horse to go quickly.

Yang Xiu came to his camp, conveyed the emperor's edict, and ordered him to go to the banquet immediately. His heart finally came to rest. He heard from Yang Xiu that Zhang Ji was still the general of the cavalry, but his seat was no longer above the three masters, so he felt even more at ease.

Compared to Zhang Ji, who was ill-hearted, he was at most passive and lazy in his fight.

Zhang Ji is fine, and he will be fine.

After rushing to the bottom of the plateau, Yang Ding asked his personal guards to wait under the plateau, and followed Yang Xiu to the plateau.

Liu Xie had just finished his wishes to the family of the soldiers and returned to the table and was about to enter the next agenda: announcing the reward, but when he saw Yang Ding rushing to come, he couldn't help laughing.

"Although the general comes late, it's not too late."

Yang Ding looked embarrassed and could only pretend not to hear Liu Xie's intentions and bowed.

Zhang Ji, who was beside him, heard it sincerely and laughed in his heart.

After all, the emperor is a young man. Even if he no longer holds Yang Ding responsible, he will still make a few sarcastic words.

But this is good. Tell me out so as not to hide it in my heart and suspicion from each other.

Liu Xie winked at Wang Jiang.

Wang Jiang brought someone to lead Yang Ding to the table and served with Dong Cheng.

When Yang Ding passed by Duan Wei, Duan Wei chuckled twice and turned his head to talk to Yang Feng beside him. Yang Ding felt Duan Wei's pride, but he could do nothing.

He has always been incompatible with Duan Wei. This time Duan Wei made contributions, but he made a mistake. In the future, Duan Wei's face must be determined.

After taking the seat, before Yang Ding had time to drink wine and moisten his throat, Wang Jiang loudly announced that the minister Ding Chong would read out the merits and rewards from the generals.

Yang Ding didn't care much. Anyway, the rewards were all from others and had nothing to do with him. He drank the slutty wine on his own. As soon as he drank three glasses of wine, he heard the name he didn't want to hear the least.

"Ning Ji General Duan Wei, welcomed the emperor and worked hard to protect the land. He rushed to help in time. He ordered the former general and the Marquis of Ting of Langxiang."

Before Yang Ding could react, Wang Jiang read aloud again: "General Xingyi Yang Feng, fought against Li Ying, beheaded more than 2,300 times, and ordered him to be appointed as the Left General and the Marquis of Jiting."

"General Anji Dong Cheng fought against Guo Si, beheaded more than 300 times, and ordered him to be appointed as the Right General and the Marquis of Gaoyang Ting."
