As for the other guests attending the imperial banquet today... Zhang Jun is undoubtedly a greedy bastard who dares to acknowledge Wang Yuan as his godfather, so there is no need to mention him;

Li Yanxian was a strange person. He would only drink a glass when Emperor Zhao personally urged him to drink. He would not respond to the guests such as Wang Yuan and Yang Yizhong who came to persuade him.

Wang Yan was a scholar with a sense of pride. Although he was rewarded this time, he was also dissatisfied with being under Yue Fei. So it was good that no one showed his true colors at the beginning. Later, he also wanted to take the opportunity to vent his anger. He was also not an easy person to serve.

Lu Xing is the most mature among all the generals. He seems pretty good at first glance, but like Wang Yan, he becomes sour after drinking too much in the later period.

As for Wang De, needless to say, he was a pure rough man. He was the first to make trouble after drinking. He took off his clothes and exposed his wounds to the emperor. He also cried and complained that his defense of the four walls of Nanyang was worthless. Then he turned around and provoked Han Shizhong, Li Yanxian, Zhang Jun, Wang Yan, Yue Fei and other five great heroes appointed by the emperor one by one!

However, it was this last incident that broadened Zhao's horizons today. He only now realized that Yue Fei was also a person who did not drink very well... After Wang De provoked everyone else, they still maintained a bit of rationality and had no intention of embarrassing themselves in front of the emperor with this idiot. But after provoking Yue Fei, Yue Pengju simply stepped down and beat Wang Yasha to the ground in front of the table.

This drunken impulse is not a good thing.

However, what Zhao Jiu didn't know was that in history, Yue Fei was not only a bad drinker, not a good thing, but a terrible drinker! He got into trouble more than once after getting drunk. The first time he got into a fight after drinking, he lost his job. The second time, he was already a general, 30 years old, but he got angry after drinking and beat a commander, almost beating him to death.

Of course, Wang De was not killed by him this time, and no matter what, Yue Pengju was still the most exemplary one in personal morality among the seven generals here, not to mention his direction in commanding the army and maintaining military discipline. According to Zhao Jiu's previous observation, compared with others, Yue Fei was simply a saint.

After Wang De was beaten, Emperor Zhao saw that all seven of them were obviously drunk, so he simply ended the banquet. Then, the guests, including Academician Xiao Lin, Yang Yi Zhong, Liu Yan, Lan Gui, Feng Yi and others, dealt with the seven people one by one according to the Emperor's prior arrangements.

Han Shizhong, who was completely drunk, was sent directly to the backyard of the Heyin County Office where the Emperor Zhao lived. Madam Liang was invited to take care of him. She snored loudly that night and was basically in the next room to the Emperor Zhao and Madam Wu.

Zhang Jun returned to his residence in a depressed mood, but saw the large amount of gold and silver treasures sent by Emperor Zhao in advance. Among them, hundreds of pieces of Shu brocade were sent by Zhang Jun from Sichuan during the war. They were the most precious treasures escorted from Xiangyang this time. Now all of them were given to Zhang Taiwei. The emperor and Madam Wu did not keep a single piece to make new clothes... It was also shabby;

As for Li Yanxian, this young general (36 years old) who was somewhat unhappy when he first met the emperor returned to his residence. However, he did not expect that the emperor would come with great fanfare the next morning, sending the internal official Xiaolin and the chief guard Lan Gui to come together, officially issuing an imperial decree and bestowing a "mainstay" military flag in the midst of a huge military campaign.

Not to mention Wang Yan, Wang De and Lu Xing, who were all rewarded, appeased and pardoned the next day... The only special one was Yue Fei. Early the next morning, Zhao Jiu sent Yang Yi Zhong to announce an oral order with harsh words, making it clear that they were not allowed to drink in the army in the future!

These things could not be concealed at all in the small Heyin city which was almost filled with dignitaries.

As the news spread quickly, there was bound to be some gossip that morning.

"The decline of civil officials and the rise of military officials is the general trend." Somewhere in the city, Deputy Prime Minister Xu Jingheng stroked his beard and sighed to Prime Minister Lu Haowen, who lived in the same courtyard with him last night. "However, among all the generals, I originally thought that Han Shizhong was the most favored by the emperor, but now it seems that Yue Pengju is not bad either... What do you think, Brother Shuntu (Lu Haowen's pen name)?"

"Why are you thinking about these?" Lü Haowen, who was sipping porridge, shook his head repeatedly, and then helplessly. "Don't you have to accompany the emperor to review the troops in the morning? Don't you have to accompany the emperor to hold a big banquet in the afternoon? There are more than 30 commanders alone! Even if it's the Heyin incident, don't you have to consider suppressing the rebellion in the southeast and cleaning up the ruins of Henan? Where do you people get so many thoughts? If you have these thoughts, why not drink more porridge?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Jingheng also picked up the bowl of porridge, but put it down again, and then sighed: "To be honest with you, Brother Shun, I always feel that the emperor will not be so honest. If he didn't cause trouble yesterday, there will definitely be trouble today..."

"Then what?" Lu Haowen put down the bowl of porridge and asked helplessly.

Xu Jingheng was slightly startled, but simply picked up the bowl of porridge.
