Soon, everything was done.
Wei Yunyi did not hesitate and left the hall directly.
In fact, there were banquets and other things to do later, but he really couldn't muster the energy and found it very boring, so he asked Zhang Zhengming to host it. It would be more interesting to stay with the queen and the imperial concubine.
Naturally, the ministers did not dare to say anything about this and could only obey.
Anyway, His Majesty has already come forward.
The rewards have been received, and the soldiers are relieved, so there is no big deal.
On the contrary, if the emperor were present at the banquet, the ministers would feel a little uncomfortable and would enjoy themselves more if they left.
at this time.
At the banquet.
The ministers and generals toasted each other and the atmosphere was good.
Song Gongwen and Zhang Zhengming were also drinking tea and watching everything in front of them.
For them, the most gratifying thing is to see the country become strong.
The grasslands outside the northern border have always been the biggest threat to the Wei Dynasty. Now that this battle has directly resolved the nine tribes, I believe that in the coming period, the court will not face any major crises for the time being.
"Lord Song." Just as the two were chatting, Marquis Shenwu came up with a wine glass.
"Old Marquis." Upon seeing this, Song Gongwen immediately stood up and bowed slightly.
Although he is the second in command of the cabinet, he is also the father-in-law of the current emperor.
But the other party's prestige and status are not inferior to his own, so of course he has to treat him seriously.
Even the Taifu Zhang Zhengming next to him stood up, but did not say anything, just watched quietly.
"Many years ago, I made some unwarranted comments about you, Lord Song."
"Now that Lord Song has entered the cabinet, assisting His Majesty, he has worked tirelessly for the court and achieved many advances, especially the reforms that have enriched the people. I deeply admire Lord Song's abilities. To make amends, I will drink three cups of wine as punishment."
At this time, Marquis Shenwu drank the wine in his hand directly and ordered the person next to him to pour more wine.
Because just as he said, the things that Song Gongwen did in the Dali Temple many years ago really made people think that he was a smooth and incompetent person.
Even after he became the second assistant minister of the cabinet, Marquis Shenwu felt that there was something wrong. Of course, he was a military general, so he could not say much about the appointment of the cabinet minister.
But after these few months and so many things happening, Song Gongwen's performance exceeded his expectations.
Feeling a little sorry, Marquis Shenwu thought he should use this opportunity to make amends.
"What the old marquis said."
Hearing this, Song Gongwen was flattered and immediately said, "The old marquis is a pillar of the court, famous throughout the world, and a man whom Gongwen admires. How can I ask the old marquis to apologize?"
What he said was of course the truth. Not to mention that the other party was much older and had made great military achievements when he first entered the officialdom.
Zhao Yanye was already the Marquis of Shenwu and was deeply trusted by the late emperor. Together with Zhang Zhengming, he became the late emperor's right-hand man.
Song Gongwen naturally knew that the other party had evaluated him many years ago, and those words were not very good.
But these are all things of the past, and he has never cared about them again.
Now that we are officials in the same dynasty, we can no longer say that.
Therefore, he walked up directly and stopped the other party from drinking three cups as a penalty.
"Lord Song, are you not going to forgive me?" Seeing this, Marquis Shenwu frowned and said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Song Gongwen was about to explain, but the Grand Tutor Zhang Zhengming beside him smiled and said, "Gongwen, just follow the old marquis's wishes. He is just that kind of person. If he doesn't let him drink the penalty, he will probably not be able to rest in peace."
After hearing this, Song Gongwen finally nodded and said nothing more.
But Marquis Shenwu also smiled and drank the next two glasses of wine immediately.
Then, he looked at Song Gongwen and continued, "If Marquis Guanjun hadn't intervened at the crucial moment in this battle with the grassland, we would have been in trouble. Lord Song, you truly have a good son. His military advisory skills are so impressive that even I admire him. I'm very pleased to have such a star general in the future of the Great Wei."
Of course, Marquis Shenwu would not forget the greatest contributor to this battle, Marquis Guanjun Song Hongzhi.
As mentioned, if it weren't for the enemy's surprise attack and the capture of the nine Khans alive, this battle would have been very troublesome.
Although he also had a way to defend Zhenbei Pass, it would undoubtedly cost a lot and more soldiers would die.
This was something that Marquis Shenwu did not want to see, but with the presence of Marquis Guanjun Song Hongzhi, these problems were completely avoided. In addition, he had been studying Song Hongzhi's two major battles during this period.
I discovered that the opponent's fighting style was so unpredictable that even I couldn't figure it out. It seemed like they were doing whatever they wanted, but at the critical moment, they could still win.
Therefore, Marquis Shenwu could conclude that Marquis Guanjun was simply a natural god of war.
Otherwise, how could the country be destroyed in the first battle?
And the total time is only one month.
He knew that even if it were him, he would not be able to do it to such an extent.
I thought that when I could no longer lead the army, the Wei Dynasty would be at a disadvantage against the grasslands. After all, the Marquis of Shenwu had more or less knowledge of the generals of this generation, and his son Zhao Jiguang was quite knowledgeable.
But even so, my son still has room to grow, but at most he will just be the next me.
But Song Hongzhi is different. He is a different kind of general.
Therefore, Shenwu Hou believed it.
With this person around, the future Wei Dynasty will never have any problems in foreign wars.
"Thank you for your praise, old marquis. I just did what I should do." Speaking of his son, Song Gongwen was naturally very happy, especially since the praise came from the most famous general of Wei.
