Wu Jie was stunned when he heard this, and Zhang Jun was sweating profusely and could only kneel down in the pavilion:
"The government is wise."
"You still don't know what I'm asking for..." Zhao Jiu sighed. "I thought I allowed those people to attend your banquet, which meant I tacitly approved your decision, right?"
Zhang Boying quickly explained: "I have long been uneasy about your poor life, and I am afraid that this is why I misunderstood you."
"You didn't always misunderstand me." Zhao Jiu shook his head. "That day on the Huai River, you never misunderstood me... Boying, and Jin Qing."
"I'm here." Wu Jie also quickly stood up and knelt beside Zhang Jun.
"I advocate utilitarianism, and I can barely be considered a utilitarian person. The so-called utilitarian person is the kind of person who, when faced with so-called structural contradictions, always thinks of disregarding propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame in order to gain the greatest benefit in the end..." Zhao Jiu sighed as he clasped his hands and looked at the dishes in front of him. "The Western Army was originally a vassal state. I could reorganize and disband it in Guanxi, but once I left, it returned to its old ways. I know about this and am extremely worried. As for Boying, he has always been greedy for money. It has been an old problem for many years. When he was farming, he took the opportunity to occupy land. When he moved to a new place, he forced the soldiers to build a big house for himself. He ate empty salaries, calculated the depreciation money, and accepted bribes. I know this in my heart and have been accumulating dissatisfaction... There is nothing to hide. But I am dissatisfied and worried, not because I am suffering here, but you are so and so, so I can't calm down, but because you are the generals after all, and your subordinates are the main force of the imperial camp. If you continue to waste like this, when the time comes to the Northern Expedition, one side has no fighting power, and the other side intends to preserve itself. What should I say?!"
Zhang Jun and Wu Jie were both stunned, and then looked at each other... It was obvious that Wu Jie really didn't understand this official, and Zhang Jun had been comfortable for too long and misunderstood.
"What else? If we really want to fight corruption now, why don't we fight with the whole army? If we really want to release military power with a toast, shouldn't we let Han Shizhong come first?" At this point, Zhao Jiu looked at the dozen dishes on the stone table, but his tone gradually turned cold. "I called you here for one thing... If you can make achievements in the Northern Expedition in the future, then I will eventually deal with the collusion of the imperial camp and the mess of you, Zhang Boying, but I will only forgive the past, because after all, we have all been through extraordinary times. But if the Northern Expedition goes wrong with your two families, don't expect to get away with it by paying the money and resigning, because I will make you pay for it!"
Zhang Jun and Wu Jie were relieved and frightened at the same time, so they prepared to express their opinions together. Unexpectedly, Emperor Zhao did not give them any room to speak.
"Get up and eat." Zhao Jiu responded coldly. "After dinner, I will tell you in detail how to train these two armies!"
