The banquet was still held in Hefeng Pavilion.

It is still hosted by the Yangzhou Prefecture Office.

Hot water has been prepared in Hefeng Pavilion.

Everyone was not anxious either.

After Dai Wei waited for Yangzhou Guard Generals and washed up, the banquet was then put on.

Today's main table has more people.

As the other party at the banquet today, Dai Wei, the commander of Yangzhou Guard, sat on the left side of the crown prince.

Wan Gao, the Yan Censor of Lianghuai, is in the lower left.

On the right, Ye Yingfa and Deng Yongxin sat on the right, according to their official rank.

The wine to celebrate Dai Wei's honor has already been eaten.

Zhu Zhanji stood up, held the wine glass and faced Dai Wei.

Dai Wei, the commander of Yangzhou Guard, thought that the grandson wanted to toast him alone, so he quickly stood up with a glass of wine.

Zhu Zhanji looked around the scene and chuckled: "I have been to the two Huai Rivers for more than a month. Only Commander Dai won a great victory, which made me very happy. I will respect Commander Dai for a cup!"

The words of the Crown Prince were very serious, and his praise and appreciation of Dai Wei were obvious to all.

However, the atmosphere on the scene was tight.

Even Dai Wei stood there on the spot, not knowing whether to drink or not.

Ye Yingfa, who was sitting aside, felt a sank in his heart.

Deng Yongxin was secretly happy inside, the crown prince was about to attack.

Everyone present was as clear as a mirror and knew the subtext in the words of the Emperor Taisun.

Normally, in Jiangdu City, there is more than the Yangzhou Guard who kills Japanese pirates.

In the front, there were also salt merchants from Lianghuai who donated a total of 300,000 taels of white shadows to provide the conquest of the army in southern Xinjiang.

Now, only talking about the Yangzhou Wei Dasheng, not to mention the fundraising of salt merchants in Lianghuai, this would negate the 300,000 taels of silver.

This was in front of the scene, Yangzhou Prefecture, the two Huaihedu City were transferred to the Salt Transportation Office, and countless people from Yangzhou Guards slapped Ye Yingfa hard in the face.

Three hundred thousand taels cannot make me happy!

Deng Yongxin looked at the scene, looked at Dai Wei, who was standing there holding a cup, and coughed softly: "Commander, as a warrior, you really have the strength of your arms!"

A joke.

At the scene, everyone laughed happily regardless of their mood.

Dai Wei smiled dryly on his face and nodded repeatedly: "Dai Wei is rude, this glass of wine should be the last to toast to the grandson!"

As he said that, he raised his cup, bowed to Taisun, and then drank it all in one go.

This is not the end.

He put down his wine glass directly and lifted the wine pot in front of him.

He pulled out the pot plug, looked up at the sky, and raised the pot high, and the clear wine, like nine heavens, filled into Dai Wei's mouth.

Bang!

Zhu Zhanji's hand slapped heavily on the table and resounded throughout the hall.

He laughed happily: "The commander is good at drinking! Such a heroic spirit, I should be the second thing that makes me happy!"

The second slap of the crown prince slapped Ye Yingfa's face again.

At this time, Ye Yingfa's whole face became gloomy.

He realized that he had given the young crown prince enough face.

He has raised Hua Jinguan for more than ten years and is now in the house in Yangzhou Prefecture that can never be sold.

He tried his best to persuade people, and took out 300,000 taels of silver from the salt merchants and donated it to tens of thousands of troops who were conquering southern Xinjiang.

He felt that he had made contributions!

He is right!

Deng Yongxin, the prefect of Yangzhou who was sitting beside him, also stood up and raised his cup: "Conductor Dai is not as good as Deng, but for the heroic spirit of the commander, Deng will drink the same cup!"

Dai Wei had already drunk the pot of wine.

Listening to Deng Yongxin's words, he quickly shook his head and waved his hand.

Zhu Zhanji raised his hand and pressed down: "Now, I am aware of the style of Yangzhou. At this time, His Highness the King of Han was in charge of the country. I want to stay in Jiangdu for more time."

hint!

The crown prince is hinting!

What is implied?

Three hundred thousand taels made him dissatisfied and unhappy, so he wanted to stay.

It was not until the salt merchants in Lianghuai took out the money and grain that made him happy that they would react to the capital.

Ye Yingfa was forced to the point of helplessness.

He had a gloomy face and stood up without saying a word.

"Qi reported to the grandson, the senior official was unable to drink and felt uncomfortable, and he made a mistake. He begged to resign."

After saying that, he didn't care about Zhu Zhanji's intentions and had already lifted his feet away from the seat.

opposite.

Wan Gao, the Yan Censor of the Lianghuai Salt Warrior, also stood up suddenly.

"Mr. Ye, please stay. You may not be able to go back later today!"

Wan Gao said lightly, then his eyes sank: "As the Yan Censor of Lianghuai, I have been in the territory of Lianghuai recently..."

"Master Wan!" Zhu Zhanji spoke at the right time, raised his hand to interrupt Wan Gao's words before he could say anything. He shook his head and looked at Wan Gao blamed him: "Master Wan, Lord Ye is unable to drink, don't force each other. Master Ye is in the salt affairs of Lianghuai, and the responsibility is heavy. If it is because of Master Wan's retention, he will be damaged, Lord Wan, you cannot bear this responsibility."

Wan Gao was short of breath and looked at Zhu Zhanji.

Finally, he laughed, shook his head, waved his hand and walked slowly down.

Ye Yingfa looked at Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Zhanji smiled and raised his hand to ask: "Sir Ye, since he is uncomfortable, go back and rest quickly. It just so happens that I have decided to stay for a few more days. There are still some things to do later. I want to ask for advice from Lord Ye."

No matter how resentful Ye Yingfa felt in his heart, he had to speak: "I thank you for your kindness. The grandson was very happy to postpone his return to Beijing. If the grandson is summoned, the grandson must come to his house in person."

After saying that, Ye Yingfa held his fists and raised his hand to salute, and then left.

Wan Gao's calloused hands were pinching the wine glass, turning them one after another, and his eyes looked at Ye Yingfa's back as he went downstairs.

Zhu Zhanji smiled and waved his hand: "It's late at night. If everyone can't drink anymore, they will go back. Prefect Deng, Commander Dai, and Censor Wan cannot leave. Stay here to accompany me!"

After saying that, he swept to the table of the officials of the Salt Transportation Office of the two Huaidus with a look of nonsense.

Deng Yongxin turned around quietly and gave a look at Li Puze, a co-magistrate of Yangzhou Prefecture.

Li Puze hurriedly stood up: "I thank you for your grandson for sympathizing with his subordinates. I have already had more today. I will have official duties tomorrow, so I will leave first."

Zhu Zhanji nodded and agreed.

Immediately, the officials of Yangzhou Prefecture stood up one after another and expressed their guilt and requested abdication to retire.

Zhu Zhanji agreed noddedly.

After Ye Yingfa left the venue, the officials from the Transport Office, who had long been unable to sit down, immediately stood up to apologize for the crime and said goodbye when they saw Yangzhou Prefecture taking the lead.

A few moments.

In the Hefeng Pavilion, only Deng Yongxin, Dai Wei and Wan Gao were left.

In addition, Zhang Tian, ​​Luo Xiangyang, Yu Qian and others gathered at the table.

Dai Wei knew that he was a military general, and the best way to do this in the officialdom was to not express any opinions.

Although the crown prince is now in charge of the Lianghuai Salt Affairs.

But the crown prince is in Jiangdu, so he is in charge of Lianghuai.

The Governor's Office of the Five Army has recently issued a lot of military orders to the Yangzhou Guards.

There are admonitions, some requirements for strengthening exercises, and some instructions to maintain Yangzhou local areas.

But to sum up, Yangzhou Wei must stand at its own position.

Dai Wei also inquired that these military orders were not issued regularly throughout the world, but were only issued to Yangzhou Guards.

This is very interesting.

Dai Wei was happy to be idle at this time. According to the recent intention of the Governor's Office of the Five Army, he just needed to listen to the Taisun's words at a critical moment.

I squeezed the cup and drank the wine bit by bit, and the fatigue on my body became much less.
