Chapter 3 Sixty: Jingtai Palace Banquet
A group of generals of the guards were making a fuss in the official office of the general's governor's mansion, but Yue Fei finally suppressed them forcefully, and told them that Deng Sheng would hold a banquet in Jingtai Palace five days later, and he would personally explain this time to them. This is the first time since the beginning of the world that the king personally explained the issue of the list to his courtiers, so Yue Fei warned these people that if anyone dares to show any disrespect to Deng Sheng at the banquet, he will be rude.

As the great general of the current dynasty, the No.1 general of Deng Guo, Yue Fei's prestige in the army is even higher than that of Deng Sheng. Don't look at these generals of the guard army, who are usually bluffing in the army, but in front of Yue Fei , no one dares to make a mistake.

While Yue Fei was holding these generals under control, Cui Hao was standing respectfully in the Wancheng Royal Palace and Qianyang Palace, while Deng Sheng was reading a book carefully, with his back to him. Cui Hao, after a long time, Deng Sheng put down his books, turned around, and said to Cui Hao, "Have they all arrived yet?"

Cui Hao nodded and said: "Yes, my lord, they are all here, and just now, Generals of the Jinwu Guard Deng Qiang, Generals of the Nujiao Guard Zhou Yu, Generals of the Shence Guard Zhang Liao, Generals of the Shenwu Guard Murong Chui, Wu When General Wei Deng Zhongdu broke into the official office of the General's Dudu's Mansion, there was a commotion there, but was stopped by General Yue!" Cui Hao told the situation of the guards' generals in the General's Dudu's Mansion Tell Deng Sheng to listen.

After Deng Sheng heard this, he also sighed. This matter is indeed troublesome, but Deng Sheng believes in Yue Fei. Since Yue Fei has suppressed this group of guard generals, he will tell them what to do and what not to do. Yes, Deng Sheng said: "Cui Qing, do you think they will listen to the widow's explanation?"

Cui Hao replied: "Your Majesty, as the king of a country, it is unprecedented for him to hold a banquet and explain to his subjects in person for a matter. They all have to accept it, this is the way of a monarch and his ministers, if anyone dares to refuse to forgive, then he is not worthy to continue to sit in that position!"

Cui Hao has always attached great importance to the way of monarch and minister. Cui Hao also knows that Deng Sheng has done something wrong, but what can he do?Deng Sheng is the king of the Deng Kingdom. No matter what decision he makes, as a subject, he can only obey. As the saying goes, thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king. In Cui Hao's view, Deng Sheng does not need to explain to the generals of the guards, but In order to calm down the matter as soon as possible, Cui Hao can only acquiesce, but if there is any guy who doesn't know what to do at the banquet, if he doesn't open his eyes, Cui Hao doesn't mind pulling him down.

Deng Sheng nodded. He was very satisfied with Cui Hao's statement. In fact, when he decided to hold this banquet, Cui Hao and others also disagreed. After all, Deng Sheng, as the king of a country, condescended to explain to his courtiers No matter how you say this, it doesn't conform to the rules, but Deng Sheng insisted on it. Without him, although there is a system, Deng Sheng is not afraid of the betrayal of his subordinates, but he can't make them chill, so in order to appease the generals, Deng Sheng resolutely decided to invite the generals.

Five days later, Deng Sheng personally invited the people from the General Dudu’s Mansion and the Generals of the Twelve Guards in Jingtai Palace. After drinking for three rounds, Deng Sheng said to everyone: "Zhu Qing, everyone is not in a very high mood tonight. , Even if you don’t talk about the widow, you all know that you have a lot of questions in your heart that you want to ask the widow. If this is the case, then the widow should listen carefully. Which one of you will come first?”

The people below looked at each other in blank dismay, no one wanted to be this early bird. After a long time, Deng Qiang, who was closest to Deng Sheng, stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, I don't have any malicious intentions, it's just that I have some doubts in my heart. Your Majesty can see that the ministers have fought for Great Deng for many years, and they are just answering for the ministers. If the ministers have a word that offends the King, I hope the King can forgive the sin!"

Deng Sheng looked at Deng Qiang with a smile, and had to say that what Deng Sheng said was very beautiful. He said that they had fought bloody battles for Deng Guo for many years, and suddenly they stood on the commanding heights of morality, which made Deng Sheng feel bad. Getting angry with them, Deng Sheng smiled and said: "Deng Qing can speak directly if you have anything to say, everyone will listen!"

"Since the king asked the minister to speak, then the minister is overstepping!" Deng Qiang said: "With regard to the matter of the Northern Expedition in the spring next year, which guard army to choose for the expedition is originally the right of the king and the general to govern the government. There will be any opinions, but this time Habayashi Mamoru suddenly appeared on the list, I think it's inappropriate!"

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Habayashi Guard is also one of my Great Deng's Twelve Guards, and he also has the duty to expand the territory for Great Deng. Why can't he participate in the Northern Expedition?" After hearing Deng Qiang's words, Deng Sheng asked again.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being rude!" At this time, General Zhou Yu of the Angry Jiaowei stood up and said, "Although Yubayashiwei is said to be one of the twelve guards of Great Deng, Habayashiwei is my Great Deng's forbidden army. Their most important task is to protect the king and Wancheng, and now they are suddenly participating in the Northern Expedition, which is throwing everything at the bottom. Both the king and the king will ignore it!"

As soon as Zhou Yu said this, Deng Ai, who was sitting on the side, wanted to explain something, but was stopped by Deng Sheng, and then smiled and said to Zhou Yu: "Zhou Qing, sit down for now!" Then he told everyone Said: "I know what Zhou Qing said just now. This is what most of you have in mind. Yes, the duty of the Habayashi Guard is indeed to protect the widow and the king's capital. This Beizheng is not Should go!"

Speaking of this, Deng Sheng stood up, came to Deng Ai's side, pulled Deng Ai up, and said to everyone: "But I can't bear it, I feel ashamed in my heart, this is Deng Ai, you all know it, but don't you know it?" I know, Deng Ai is over forty this year, he has been following the widow since his early twenties, he has worked hard to guard the capital for the widow for 20 years, as a general, he has never been on the battlefield, do you think this is fair?"

After all, Deng Sheng pulled Deng Ai to Xue Rengui, the General of Yingyangwei, and said to him: "Xue Qing, you rescued the widow from the hunting ground with Deng Ai and Gao Shun, and the widow has always treated you well." Thank you very much, is it fair for you to tell the widow?"

At this time, Xue Rengui's thoughts seemed to return to that autumn 20 years ago, thinking of Deng Ai who was in full bloom back then, and closed his eyes and replied: "It's not fair!"

Deng Sheng nodded in satisfaction, then looked at everyone and said, "Then tell me, is this fair? What would happen to you if you sat in Deng Ai's place? Would you be like Deng Ai, regardless of The dignity of a warrior, kneeling in Qianyang Palace, begging the widow to give Habayashi Wei a chance?"

After hearing this, everyone was heartbroken. Yes, as a general, the highest honor is the bloody battlefield and the shroud of horse leather, but Deng Ai has been guarding Wancheng for 20 years, wasting 20 years. When Deng Ai was killing all directions on the battlefield, Deng Ai was still guarding this city. If it were them, I'm afraid they would have gone crazy. Now, they seem to have nothing to say.

Seeing that everyone had nothing to say, Deng Sheng knew that this matter was done, but it still lacked some momentum, so Deng Sheng struck while the iron was hot and said: "To be honest, you should all thank Deng Ai, without Deng Ai who has been stationed in Wancheng all year round. , solved your worries for the future, how can you gallop on the battlefield? Now Deng Ai just made the most humble request as a general to the widow. If the widow can't satisfy him, what face will the widow have? What about commanding Great Deng? So after thinking about it, I feel that I owe a lot to Deng Ai and the generals of the Habayashi guards, so I licensed [-] Yulin guards to join the army of the Northern Expedition. This is my compensation to the Habayashi guards. I know what you are thinking, but this matter is settled like this, and I will never change it!" After finishing speaking, Deng Sheng sat back on the throne again!

Deng Sheng's words made all the generals blushed, and felt ashamed in their hearts. They felt that they were treating the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Thinking of Deng Ai's dedication over the years, he felt that Deng Ai's request was really not too much , the army is not like the imperial court, everything must follow rules and systems, and there is an extra bond in the army. This is the bond accumulated by everyone on the battlefield, so at this moment, they have nothing to do with Habayashi Wei going out with the army. Any advice is appreciated.

General Zhang Liao of Shence Guard stood up with a face of shame and said: "Your Majesty, I know that I am wrong. It is because I am narrow-minded!" Then he bowed to Deng Ai and said: "General Deng Ai, you have worked hard all these years. Already!"

"General Deng Ai, you have worked hard!" Seeing this, everyone stood up and bowed to Deng Ai.

Seeing this, Deng Sheng smiled inwardly, this matter was finally resolved, he was able to turn a mistake caused by a momentary reckless impulse into a matter of course, Deng Sheng also had to admire his own wit.

After solving these matters, the whole banquet became enjoyable again, but at this time, Deng Zhong stood up, because he had something to say, and it was still very important.
