"Uncle, Dingbang, besides what happened with the King of Persia, do you two have anything else to say?"
Zhang Kuang and Duan Dingbang looked at each other after hearing Dashao Liu's inquiry.
When they saw each other, neither of them had the intention to speak, so they both bowed their hands to Young Master Liu.
"Back to Your Majesty, I am gone."
"Your Majesty, so am I."
Liu Mingzhi heard the two people's answers in tandem, smiled lightly, picked up the handkerchief on the table and gently wiped his hands twice.
Immediately, he reached out and picked up the Wanli Jiangshan jade fan on the corner of the table and flicked it, gently blowing the cool breeze while glancing at Zhang Kuang and Zhang Kuang with a smile.
"I think there should still be some."
As soon as Mr. Liu said these words, he was so arrogant that Duan Dingbang, the old man and the young man, couldn't help but feel stunned for a moment on their faces.
"Ah? Your Majesty, this? This?"
"Ah? What? There should still be something?"
Seeing Zhang Kuang, Duan Dingbang and Duan Dingbang had stunned expressions on their faces. Nangong Ye, Wanyan Chiezha, Hu Yanyu and others all looked at Young Master Liu with doubts in their eyes.
Qi Yun, the third princess, the queen, Wenren Yunshu, Ren Qingrui and the other beauties, as well as the little cutie who was half-sitting on the armrest of the chair, also turned their eyes to Young Master Liu with slightly confused eyes at this moment.
As for the words that Zhang Kuang and Duan Dingbang had answered before, he and the others could clearly hear them while standing aside.
Especially in the words Duan Dingbang answered, he has already told all the causes and consequences. It can be said that the description is very complete.
Therefore, whether it is Qi Yun, the third princess, Qing Lian and the other sisters, or Little Cutie, or Nangong Ye, Yun Chong and the generals
At this moment, none of them could think of anything else that Zhang Kuang and Nangong Ye could talk about.
Zhang Kuang raised his hand and stroked the gray beard on his chin. After thinking hard for a moment with his brow slightly furrowed, an old face filled with helplessness arched his hand towards Young Master Liu.
"Your Majesty, this old minister is stupid.
I thought about it over and over again, but I really can't think of anything else to say."
Seeing Zhang Kuang's helpless expression, Liu Mingzhi smiled slightly and raised his brows twice, then glanced sideways at Duan Dingbang, who was still deep in thought across the way.
Seeing this, Zhang Kuang subconsciously followed Young Master Liu's gaze and turned towards Duan Dingbang.
Suddenly.
Duan Dingbang seemed to have thought of something, his eyes widened suddenly, and he looked up at Young Master Liu.
"Your Majesty, what is that, what is that.
The issue you want to talk about is not about the refugees and refugees among the rebels in Persia, right?"
Listening to Duan Dingbang's slightly hesitant and uncertain words, Young Master Liu immediately nodded his head and chuckled a few times.
"Hehe, hehehe.
Dingbang, you are right. This is exactly what I want to ask you.
According to what you and Zhang Shuai said about the Persian king Alsace Kedelin, at this time he is a promising king with a lot of troubles in his heart.
If this is the case, problems will arise.
Dingbang, you told me earlier that among the 150,000 rebels, about 60,000 to 70,000 were composed of refugees and refugees.
If the king of Persia is really a promising king with great ambitions and good abilities, then where did there come from so many refugees and refugees in Persia?
In particular, those refugees and refugees actually followed the leaders of the rebels and carried out rebellion together.
If it was just the rebels who rebelled, it wouldn't be a big problem. After all, the reasons for rebels are various.
However, if even refugees and refugees join in the rebellion, then that would be somewhat unjustifiable, right?"
As soon as Young Master Liu's slightly puzzled words fell, Qi Yun, the third princess, Xiao Kaitai, Nangong Ye, Wan Yan Chi Zha, Cheng Kai and the others suddenly showed a look of understanding in their eyes.
.
Yes, this is indeed a problem.
It's just that the rebels brought their slave soldiers to rebel, so that's okay.
However, when refugees and refugees also rebelled with the rebels, it is worth pondering.
Duan Dingbang looked at the slightly puzzled look on Young Master Liu's face, and smiled and cupped his hands.
"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood.
In fact, the refugees and refugees among the rebels were not refugees from Persia, but refugees from Frankish, Prussian, White-Shirt and other countries."
After listening to Duan Dingbang's explanation, Young Master Liu couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise in his eyes.
"What? Are those refugees and refugees from other Western countries?"
Qi Yun, Qi Ya, Yun Xiaoxi, Xiao Kaitai, Song Qing, and Zhang Kuang were all looking at Duan Dingbang, and for a moment they showed a hint of surprise.
"Your Majesty, that's exactly what it is.
Those refugees and refugees have gradually flowed into Persia from Western countries in the past two years.
Later, some of the refugees and refugees were forced to make a living, so the rebel generals used food to recruit them into their ranks."
Liu Mingzhi paused slightly while shaking the Wanli Jiangshan jade fan, and frowned slightly as he looked at Duan Dingbang, who looked slightly sad.
"So that's it. By the way, is the current situation in the Frankish Kingdom and Prussian Kingdom very bad?"
"Reporting to your majesty, according to what I learned from the mouths of those prisoners.
In the past few years, there have been constant disputes and wars between the Frankish State, Prussian State, and the White Food State.
The people in the border cities of these countries suffered so much from the war that they had to leave their homes and travel far away to find a way to survive."
After hearing what Duan Dingbang said, Young Master Liu nodded with a clear expression and immediately turned to look at Zhang Kuang.
"I remember, uncle, we have discussed this topic before.
At that time, you and I carefully analyzed the general situation between those countries."
"Back to Your Majesty, we did discuss this topic back then."
Liu Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, stood up from the chair, frowned slightly, shook the jade fan in his hand, and walked slowly.
"At first, when I heard you talk about these issues, young master, I thought the situation between those countries was a little chaotic!
Now it seems that I have underestimated the chaos between those countries!"
After Liu Dashao sighed loudly, he raised his head and looked at the blue sky and white clouds in front of him, squinting his eyes slightly and thinking to himself.
After a long time.
Young Master Liu withdrew his gaze and glanced at the dozens of generals on the left and right with a faint smile.
"Dingbang, regarding Gonglu, Ziqing, and Yunhao, we will stop talking about your expedition this time to help the Persians put down the rebellion.
If anything happens to me later, I will come to you again."
Duan Dingbang, Ge Gonglu and others immediately stood up from their chairs after hearing this, and bowed neatly to Young Master Liu.
"Yes, I understand."
Young Master Liu smiled lightly and nodded, then turned his head slightly and looked towards Zhang Kuang.
"Uncle, it's getting late and it's time for lunch. Have you arranged a banquet in advance?"
Zhang Kuang nodded happily, stood up and hugged Young Master Liu.
"Back to Your Majesty, I and others have ordered the kitchen to prepare a banquet early in the morning."
Listening to the arrogant answer, Mr. Liu took a long breath with a smile on his face.
"Phew! Very good, very good!"
"Willow Pine."
"The little one is here."
Liu Mingzhi turned slightly sideways, chuckled and raised his finger to point to the tables and chairs around him.
"Master, let's go to the main hall of the palace first. There are tables, chairs, fruit plates, drinks and other things here. You, Du Yu, Ming Feng, Jing Hui and you can clean them up together."
"Yes, I understand, little one."
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly, flicked a few melon seed shells on his clothes, and waved to a large group of people around him with a smile.
"Yun'er, Yan'er, Yue'er, and all my dear friends.
Let’s go, let’s go to the main hall first. It’s almost time.”
Upon hearing this, Qi Yun, the third princess, Qi Ya and the other sisters stood up from their chairs in an elegant manner, and at the same time responded to Young Master Liu's words in a sweet voice.
"Hey, it's coming, it's coming."
"Yeah, here we come."
The little cutie patted her slender hands twice casually, and walked towards Young Master Liu with a smile like a flower.
"Hey, I got it."
When Song Qing, Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye, Duan Dingbang and others saw this, they all tacitly made way for Young Master Liu, Qi Yun and the others.
"Your Majesty, please come first."
"The Queen, ladies and gentlemen, Your Highness the Princess please come first."
Liu Mingzhi nodded to the generals with a smile, gently shook the Wanli Jiangshan engraved jade fan in his hand, and walked forward at the lead.
Seeing that their husband had already left, Qi Yun, the third princess, Qing Lian, Murong Shan, Ling Weier, Huang Lingyi and other sisters immediately followed him with light steps.
As for Ren Qingrui, Gu Melanya, and Xiao Kaitai, they naturally got together and silently followed Qi Yun and the other sisters.
Soon, Song Qing, Zhang Kuang and other generals followed them in an orderly manner.
After Young Master Liu, Qi Yun, and Song Qing reached a distance of twenty or thirty steps, Liu Song immediately called on the Du Yu brothers and began to pack up the tables and chairs outside the palace door and the various items on the table.
Plant something.
After Young Master Liu turned a corner with steady and powerful steps, he suddenly thought of something and immediately turned back to look at Zhang Kuang and Nangong Ye who were following him.
"Two uncles."
Upon hearing the sound, Zhang Kuang and Nangong Ye quickly accelerated their pace and chased after Young Master Liu.
"Is the old minister here, Your Majesty?"
"I'm here, sir. What do you want, Your Majesty?"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the two Zhang Kuang people who had followed him, casually closed the jade fan in his hand, and then gently beat it with the fan bone in his palm.
"Uncles, is there still plenty of wine in the palace?"
After hearing Young Master Liu's question, Zhang Kuang and the two men immediately understood the purpose of Young Master Liu's asking this question.
After Zhang Kuang and Nangong Ye looked at each other, Zhang Kuang finally bowed his hand to Young Master Liu.
"Your Majesty, do you want to reward the soldiers of the Second Route Western Expedition Army stationed outside the city?"
Seeing that Zhang Kuang and the two men had immediately guessed what they were thinking, Young Master Liu smiled and nodded.
"Haha, hahaha.
Yes, this is exactly what I mean.
Two uncles, the soldiers of the Second Route Western Expedition Army have returned from the expedition. They have worked hard along the way.
We, Dingbang, Gonglu, Yunhao and the others have good wine and delicacies in the palace, so we can't let the soldiers stationed outside the city not even have a sip of wine, right?"
"Your Majesty loves his soldiers as much as his sons. You are truly a blessing to your ministers and the officers and soldiers in each department!"
"Hehehe, I second my opinion!"
Listening to the compliments from Zhang Kuang and Zhang Kuang, Young Master Liu pretended to be unhappy and rolled his eyes.
"Okay, okay, you two old guys, stop flattering me and tell me directly whether the wine in the palace is enough to reward the soldiers of the three armies outside."
"Your Majesty, there are more than 40,000 troops stationed outside the city!
The amount of wine in the palace can only be used to reward thousands of soldiers at best.
However, the two veterans can immediately order their men to go to various restaurants, wine shops, inns, and shops in the city to buy a large amount of drinks.
According to the current time, it shouldn’t be a problem to get the soldiers outside the city to drink before the sun goes down.”
Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly and nodded, quickly opening his arms and moving his body back and forth.
"In that case, you should hurry up and make arrangements.
Try to let all the soldiers drink the reward wine before dinner, even if it is just a sip of wine!"
"Yes, I obey my orders."
Arrogant and Nangong Ye hugged Young Master Liu respectfully, then immediately turned around and walked towards the soldiers on duty a few steps away.
Half a day later.
In the main hall of the palace, laughter echoed one after another.
"Your Majesty, I am waiting to toast you."
"Hahaha, hahahaha.
Drink together, drink together."
Time passes silently, and the sun in the clear blue sky is shifting to the west.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the food has passed the five flavors.
The banquet, which was not a banquet to welcome the wind, began to end amid bursts of joy and laughter.
Liu Mingzhi, supported by Qi Yun and the three princesses and sisters, hurried toward his family's residence with slightly wandering steps.
It took about half a cup of tea.
Young Master Liu and his family returned to the courtyard where they lived, talking and laughing.
"Husband, let's have a cup of warm tea."
Outside the door of the main room in the courtyard, Mr. Liu, who was already about 70 to 80% drunk, took the tea from Qi Yun with a smile.
"Well, okay."
After drinking half a cup of warm tea, Mr. Liu took a breath of alcohol and looked up at the northeast sky with worried eyes.
"Based on the time, we should have arrived. Why hasn't the news come yet?" ()
