If Li Dingguo's status and status before the restoration of the capital, he would probably be even higher than Zheng Chenggong, and he was the leader of the important ministers under the emperor.

But after liberation of the capital, Zheng Chenggong came from behind with this achievement and vaguely competed with Li Dingguo and was on par with equality.

Even so, Li Dingguo's position was still very stable with his support and rescue. At least Li Laiheng and others had to salute Li Dingguo politely.

Of course, Li Laiheng did not go to the sky. Although they also made great contributions and played a very important role in the Northern Expedition, they were still incomparable to Li Dingguo.

His Majesty the Emperor is the most nostalgic. No matter what, his position in His Majesty the Emperor's mind is impossible to surpass Li Dingguo.

"You are so kind."

Li Dingguo was very kind. Seeing a group of generals saluting him, he smiled and said, "I don't have so many rules here, please come to the table."

Li Dingguo said this to this point, and naturally there was no reason for the crowd to continue standing. They lifted up their robes and put them in the seat to sit down.

But they haven't sat for a long time and hadn't said a few words yet, the big journey of King Zhong Zheng Chenggong has also arrived.

Everyone had to get up to greet them.

Similar to Li Dingguo, Zheng Chenggong did not wear military uniforms today, but was dressed in a scholarly outfit.

But compared with Li Dingguo, Zheng Chenggong's outfit is obviously more in line with his temperament.

After all, Zheng Chenggong was a scholar who studied in the Imperial College in Nanjing back then and was considered a good scholar.

"King of Jin, Duke of Lin, Duke of Wan, Duke of Jingguo, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Seeing these old friends, Zheng Chenggong was filled with emotion and stepped forward one by one to bow and signal.

"After a few months of separation, King Zhong is still full of heroic spirit."

Li Dingguo stroked his beard and smiled.

"Yingzi was so angry that he dared not say it, but he was really refreshed. Thanks to His Majesty the Emperor's wise and powerful force, he led us to take the capital."

"Hey, Your Majesty is not a person who is greedy for merit, so King Zhong doesn't have to say that."

Li Dingguo said half-jokingly: "Actually, I have always heard that King Zhong and his son were divided into two groups at that time. King Zhong himself led his troops to attack the capital, and Prince Zhong led the navy to encircle Yongping Prefecture, and even had the opportunity to intercept the Donglu army retreating from Shanhaiguan. If this is true, it would be very satisfying."

"The dog son is so ruthless that the King of Jin laughs."

Zheng Chenggong paused and said, "But the Donglu is really cunning, and this can be considered a move. Now that the tiger returns to the mountain, our army may have to think of some solutions if it wants to take Liaodong."

"This is simple. I never gave up when the Ming Dynasty had only two provinces left. Now I naturally firmly believe that the Ming Dynasty can recover Liaodong at any time, as long as your Majesty wants."

"Yes, Liaodong has been my territory of the Ming Dynasty since ancient times. It was nothing more than Nurhaci's rebellion, but instead turned the tables. Now the Ming Dynasty has recovered the Central Plains. As long as you prepare for a short rest, you can leave the pass and recover Liaodong at any time."

"I heard that His Majesty has sent people to contact North Korea and is preparing to let the North Korean side send people to attack Liaodong and attack Donglu in the beginning of next spring."

"I have never heard of this. But since North Korea is considered a vassal state of our Ming Dynasty, it is also appropriate to fulfill some obligations."

"That's the case."

"Actually, your Majesty's thoughts do not need to guess, just do what we should do."

The 24 heroes of Lingyan Pavilion have already been arranged, and there is nothing to compare with for everyone.

Everything is finalized by His Majesty, and the willingness of a minister is to accept it.

"His Majesty the Emperor is here."

As everyone was chatting, the eunuch's sharp singing sounded.

Everyone was stunned and then fell to the ground to welcome the sage.

"I welcome your Majesty the Emperor."

Zhu Youlang is wearing a lake blue dragon robe today, and is in a very good spirit.

He raised his hand slightly and signaled, "Let me be content with you. Today is a night banquet, so there is no need to be much etiquette."

Although His Majesty the Emperor said this, the ministers did not believe it.

Just kidding, the etiquette of the monarch and minister is the outline, who dares not to obey?

"Everyone is in the seat."

His Majesty the Emperor gave the order, so the ministers naturally followed the order.

After the crowd got into the seat and sat down, Zhu Youlang glanced, then cleared his throat and said, "Let's start playing music."

It turned out that the emperor had already ordered people to prepare singing and dancing and perform at night banquets.

For a time, the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras was endless.

A group of dancer palace men wearing colorful silk also entered one after another and came to the center of the Imperial Garden.

This dance was obviously carefully arranged, and I heard that the name is Jinghongwu.

Although I don’t know how much it has to do with the famous Jinghongwu in history, I always look very powerful when I hear the name.

A dance shocked the sky, surprised everyone.

All the ministers who participated in the banquet stared at the viewing with great interest, for fear of missing a detail.

After the song and the dance ended, everyone was still immersed in the atmosphere just now, but Zhu Youlang cleared his throat and said, "What do you think of this dance?"

"Your Majesty, this dance reflects the prosperous atmosphere of our Ming Dynasty. The prosperous era is breathtaking."

"Your Majesty, this prosperous age is as expected by the world."

"Yes, Your Majesty, it was just like this when the prosperous Tang Dynasty was in full swing."

"That's what you guys think?"

Zhu Youlang glanced at everyone and asked in a deep voice.

"Actually, I asked someone to arrange this dance to see everyone's attitude. The Ming Dynasty has just recovered the capital, and everything is in trouble. I have no mood to appreciate any singing and dancing. It's just that I hope to remind you not to be blinded by victory. Now that the main force of the Donglu is still there, there may not be no possibility of a comeback."

"What your Majesty said."

Li Dingguo showed a look of shame on his face.

He took the lead in praising him just now, but now he feels so embarrassed that he turns red.

"Your Majesty is far-sighted, and I am very ashamed."

As soon as Li Dingguo made a statement, his ministers also made a statement.

"It's okay, I just want to remind you. Since you have realized it, the people who come will continue to play music and dance."

The sound of silk and bamboo orchestral sounded again, but everyone used their sleeves to wipe the cold sweat from their foreheads.

His Majesty the Emperor is His Majesty, and his words and deeds reveal deep meaning.

They will make mistakes if they are not careful, so they should be more careful.

"What do you think about Ping Liao?"

Zhu Youlang took a sip of wine and asked casually.

"Report to Your Majesty, I think that the matter of Liaodong should be decided quickly. If Emperor Xian was in the past, he could have been cruel and devoted his best to attack Liaodong, there might not be so many things."

Zheng Chenggong said without hesitation.

"What King Zhong said is reasonable."

Zhu Youlang nodded slightly to indicate.
