Chapter 1162: Carrying on the Past and Opening up the Future (Fifty-Two)

"Your Majesty, the time has come. All the generals outside have arrived." He Weiyuan pushed the door in and said to Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan stood up when he heard the sound, and said to Ye Jing'er and Ning Xin beside him: "Let's go, we can't keep our general waiting for a long time. Hold Zhiyuan and Mingzhi together, hey, Jing'er, why didn't Yanzi come?"

"She said she felt a little unwell, so she didn't go." Ye Jing'er said, "I sent someone to call her, but she just asked someone to bring Mingzhi over."

"Isn't it good this morning? I ran out of the palace to see He Lanxiong. Why am I feeling uncomfortable after only half a day? Have you asked Dr. Qiu to come over and take a look?"

Ning Xin pursed her lips and said with a smile: "There is no need to ask Dr. Qiu. I'm afraid Yanzi is unhappy."

"I feel unhappy. Who offended him?" Gao Yuan frowned.

"I was in high spirits when I left the palace in the morning, but when I came back I felt haggard. I guess it was He Lanxiong who said something to him!" Ye Jing'er said.

"He Lanxiong?" Gao Yuan said in surprise: "He has always regarded this girl as a treasure, but he refused to accept any invitation. Why did he discipline Yanzi?"

Ning Xin smiled and said: "Brother Gao, in my opinion, I am afraid that Helan made some important decision, and Yanzi disagreed, and he couldn't defeat Commander Helan. Although Commander Helan is a Huns, he is really A rare smart man.”

Gao Yuan stood there and thought for a while, "Well, no matter what it is, Helan will always tell me when he comes back, come, I will hold Gao Ning, you hold Mingzhi, this little girl Gao Ning is getting fatter and fatter "I'm afraid you won't be able to go far if you hold her in your arms."

Taking Gao Ning from Ning Xin's hand, Gao Yuan strode out.

Because Gao Yuan is hosting a family dinner today, he brings his wife and children to attend. This is also a good time to get closer to the generals. However, Gao Yuan has to pay for the money himself. Although there are not many people, there are only two tables of guests. , but the quality of the banquet is the highest. The food and wine cost Gaoyuan hundreds of taels of silver, and Wang Wudi would never pay for it.

The army is still a group directly controlled by Gao Yuan, and Gao Yuan understands this deeply. In this troubled world, only those who control the army and the barrel of the gun have the final say. Now he has handed over most of the political affairs to the Political Affairs Hall. The Great Council, but the army, still belonged to his forbidden group.

At the gate of Chongming Hall, He Weiyuan stepped in first and shouted at the top of his lungs, "The king is here!"

There was a sound of tables, chairs and benches in the room. By the time Gao Yuan and his family appeared at the entrance of the palace, all the generals had automatically lined up in two rows, one row was headed by He Lanxiong, and the other was headed by Ye Zhong, Minister of War. Although we are hosting a banquet for various generals today, as the Minister of the Ministry of War and the direct boss of these generals, Ye Chong will naturally be among them.

"I've met the king." No one was wearing military uniforms, but they still habitually paid military salutes to Gao Yuan, which seemed a bit nondescript.

Looking at the dozens of generals in the hall, Gao Yuan's heart was filled with pride. Starting from the weak and appalling county soldiers in the Fufeng Army, he had built a huge kingdom in just ten years. A powerful army that makes the world fearful. If he is his brain, then the people in the hall in front of him are his thick arms and strong thighs. It was their victories one after another on the battlefield that established the Han Dynasty's glory today.

Holding Gao Ning in one hand, he waved casually with the other: "Well, today is a family banquet. Let's not act like monarchs and ministers and sit at the table. We are brothers. Didn't you see that I even brought my wife and dolls? Hey, this is probably the first time for most of you to see my three children. Have you prepared any gifts? If you don’t have any gifts, the dolls will never call you uncle!”

As soon as the words were spoken, the whole hall burst into laughter. Some of the previous restraints had disappeared, especially for those who were appearing on such an occasion for the first time. Those nervousness had disappeared, but when I thought of the high distance just now, Then, cold sweat broke out again.

Gift? Oops!

The legion commanders were naturally the most relaxed group. They often saw Gao Yuan, and naturally gave gifts of three little babies frequently. They were naturally very relaxed, but the army commanders and division commanders were a little embarrassed. Everyone watched helplessly as the infantryman stepped forward and took out a handful of things from his arms. The two knives made of polished ivory were for Zhiyuan and Mingzhi, and the one prepared for Gao Ning was a huge luminous pearl strung with a rope. Although the hall was brightly lit at the moment, the gleaming light of the pearl was still not concealed. light. After the infantry, Yan Haibo also walked over with a smile on his face. He also took out three gifts and gave them to the three little dolls one by one.

Gao Ning was still rude when he spoke, but Gao Zhiyuan and Gao Mingzhi were already half-grown boys. They took the gifts, smiled from ear to ear, and thanked Uncle Bu and Uncle Yan over and over again, shouting loudly. Some army commanders and division commanders were all envious and embarrassed. The little guy glanced over and they immediately lowered their heads. Why didn't they prepare gifts?

"It seems that the old brother from before knows my heart well." Gao Yuan laughed and said: "Others, remember this, even if you owe it this time, come back next time, but you can't come empty-handed, hahaha!"

After listening to Gao Yuan's words, everyone relaxed. It seems that after returning home, they have to think carefully about what gifts to give. There is also something special about it. They have to be affordable and not tacky.

"Come on, take your seat, take your seat. Today is a family dinner. Don't leave until you are drunk." Gao Yuan said with a smile, pulled a chair over, and sat down with Gao Ning in his arms. Ye Jing'er and Ning Xin sat down on the left and right. Ye Zhong also quickly directed everyone to sit down. Of course, only Ye Zhong, Helan Xiong, Ye Zhen, Xu Yuan, Meng Chong, Bai Yucheng, Yan Haibo, and the infantry could sit at the same table with Gao Yuan.

Seeing that everyone was seated, Gao Yuan handed Gao Ning to Ning Xin beside him, picked up the wine glass, and stood up. As he stood up, everyone else also stood up.

"Everyone, I, Gao Yuan, have been raising an army in Fufeng for eleven years. Over the years, we have worked together to overcome difficulties and bravely move forward. Without your efforts, there would be no Gao Yuan today, and there would be no Han today. So here, I, Gao Yuan, would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone. Thank you very much!" "Your Majesty, you are too kind. A snake cannot survive without a head. If it weren't for Your Majesty, most of us would have been unknown, or would have died in some mud pit long ago, and our bodies would have decayed long ago. The most wise decision I, Meng Chong, made in my life was to join forces with Xu Yuan in Yuyang. Some defected to the king, Xu Yuan, don't you think so? "

Xu Yuan nodded vigorously, "At that time, Meng Chong and I didn't think we could go back alive, but it was because of the king that our lives were changed, so we should thank the king. Without the king, we wouldn't have our current status. In the future, our names will go down in history because of the king's support. "

Meng Chong and Xu Yuan were the first external generals to defect to Gao Yuan. Apart from the old people of Fufeng Army and Helan Xiong, they were the most senior ones. Of course, they are now the commanders of the army group.

The infantryman also smiled and said, "I still remember that when the king came to our Fufeng County soldiers to be the leader, Xiao Yanzi's ragged clothes couldn't even cover his buttocks. Captain Sun Xiao racked his brains every day to take us to guard people's homes, and even shamelessly extorted money, just to fill his stomach, right, Xiao Yanzi?"

Yan Haibo said dissatisfiedly: "It's true that we can't fill our stomachs, when did I get naked again?"

Everyone laughed loudly. Ye Jing'er was well aware of the predicament back then, so she just smiled, but Ning Xin blushed a little. She was a princess, raised in luxury since childhood, and rarely interacted with these soldiers, so she didn't hear these vulgar words.

"Xiao Yanzi was almost naked back then." Helan Xiong on the side also joined in the fun and said, "When Sun Xiao led you to blackmail me and I beat him to the ground, it was the king who stood up for you and beat me to the ground, tied me up with a rope and locked me in the stable, hahaha!"

Other generals listened to the old men telling stories, and their eyes lit up. First, these were some of the old men's unbearable stories, which they could joke about in the future. Second, they were envious. They had suffered with the king, which was an honorable qualification now.

"We are now well-off, but we should not forget the people who dug the well. We should not forget the people who have sacrificed their lives and worked hard for our cause. There are less than 20 survivors of the old Fufeng army. Over the years, tens of thousands of our brothers have fallen on the battlefield. So this first cup of wine is for the brothers represented by Naba, Feng Fayong, and Zhang Hongyu who have gloriously sacrificed for our cause." Gao Yuan raised his glass high.

In the hall, everyone's expression suddenly became solemn. Everyone held the cup with both hands, raised it high above their heads, looked up into the air and bowed, and respectfully poured the wine in the cup slowly onto the ground. Cui Chengxiu, who was among the crowd, had tears in his eyes.

"Okay, everyone, sit down. Over the years, many of our brothers have left the army for various reasons, but more heroes have joined. Everyone comes from different places and has different temperaments, but I hope everyone can work together for a common goal. Only when a hand is clenched into a fist will it be more powerful." Gao Yuan smiled and said to everyone: "It's rare for everyone to get together. I'm afraid that many of you don't know each other. Today I have created such an opportunity for you. Let's get to know each other well. I have enough wine here, but I have to state in advance that if anyone wants to toast me, I will only drink one sip. If anyone wants to challenge me to a drinking contest, they must first pass her level." Everyone looked at where Gao Yuan's finger was pointing, and they were speechless. The king pointed to Ning Xin. There were a few people present who had not experienced Ning Xin's huge capacity. It would be a death wish to challenge her to a drinking contest. (To be continued.)
