Chapter 43 Dining Together

Man Gui also looked incredulous and confirmed in surprise: "The emperor has left the palace?"

"Yes!" Li Fengxiang nodded and said, "Our family is thinking that since the emperor even left the palace regardless of his safety, our family will have to work hard from now on. Come, come, let's have a meal together!"

He is the admiral of the capital camp, so he naturally knows something about military matters. I know that there are famous generals in history who ate and slept with their soldiers, and shared joys and sorrows together, which is a good story. At this time, I guessed that the emperor would come, so I quickly wanted to show off.

Mangui and other generals did not expect him to come out like this, and for a while they couldn't accept the eunuch dining with them. Not to mention other people, even Mangui felt a little uncomfortable eating. She couldn't help but said: "Father-in-law, we are not particular about eating. Why don't you go inside to eat?"

When Li Fengxiang heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "Lao Man, this is your fault. In the face of a powerful enemy, how can our family do something special? Come on, come on, don't talk more, eat, eat!"

As he spoke, he held his chopsticks in his hands and waved to the people on the big table. Then he picked up a chopstick and put the dish into the bowl.

When other people saw it, they couldn't help but admire him secretly. Although they didn't know why the eunuch suddenly lowered his status and came to have dinner with him, his behavior had already refreshed their understanding.

Li Fengxiang saw that they were stunned, so he couldn't help but politely said: "What are you doing standing still? Come, come, have a meal, let's have a meal together!"

When he said this, he pointed at them with his chopsticks again.

At this time, Mangui and the others didn't hesitate any longer, they all picked up the bowls and chopsticks and started eating.

Seeing how they were eating and drinking, Li Fengxiang frowned slightly, then lowered his head and wanted to eat. But I seemed to smell something. I wanted to eat several times, but in the end I didn't eat. I just looked at those people eating. After a while, I said: "Come on, come on. Eat and drink enough so that you can work for the emperor. Eat more." .”

"Thank you, father-in-law!" The generals responded with admiration on their faces, nodding their heads.

After waiting for a while, these generals were almost done with their meals. Li Fengxiang kept frowning and looked up from time to time outside. Then he was a little disappointed, and then looked at his bowl. He didn't move his chopsticks, which seemed a little... dislike.

Man Gui finished several large bowls of rice and put them on the table with a hint of excitement on her face. When she was about to say hello to Li Fengxiang, she suddenly discovered that the bowl of food in front of Li Fengxiang didn't even have any chopsticks. Move, can't help but be stunned.

His straightforward nature does not mean he is stupid. As soon as his mind turned around, he realized that he was not sharing the joys and sorrows with them. He clearly disliked eating with them. If that's the case, why bother?

When he was about to say something, suddenly there was the sound of footsteps coming from the stairs, and soon several people appeared and scattered in all directions as soon as they went up the stairs.

Li Fengxiang was overjoyed when he heard the sound, but his joy immediately disappeared. Then he pretended to be surprised and said to one of them: "Eunuch Gao, why are you here?"

Gao Shiyue saw Li Fengxiang sitting with a group of military generals eating together, and was stunned for a while before turning sideways and shouting: "The Emperor has arrived!"

Before he finished speaking, a high-spirited young man wearing a golden helmet and armor came up from the stairwell. Looking carefully, Li Fengxiang and Man Gui both recognized him as Emperor Chongzhen.

After a few "clang" sounds, several more generals failed to hold their bowls and fell to the ground. Everyone hurriedly left the table and knelt down on one knee with fists clasped in greeting.

"Haha, let's all get back together!" When Hu Guang saw it, he immediately smiled and waved his hand and said: "It's better to come early than to come by chance. It smells so good. I'm hungry, so we'll have a meal together!"

As soon as these words were said, the legs of several generals who had just stood up softened and they immediately fell to their knees again.

They usually don't even have the qualifications to see the emperor, but they didn't expect to see the emperor today. More importantly, the emperor also said that they would have a meal together. In such an environment, this was really "scary"! This can't be true!

If it were the original Emperor Chongzhen, it would indeed be impossible to dine with them in such an environment. But Hu Guang is different. He comes from a later generation and does not discriminate against generals. It is normal to have dinner together.

After he finished speaking, he walked to the main table. Suddenly, everyone around the table, including Li Fengxiang, Man Gui and others, made a splash and quickly moved aside.

Hu Guang looked at the table, looked at Li Fengxiang, and couldn't help but smile: "Are we all eating together?"

When Li Fengxiang heard this, he immediately showed a solemn look on his face and replied solemnly: "Back to Your Majesty, I have been ordered by the Holy Spirit to assist in the defense of the city. I don't dare to be negligent. I will eat and live with the Manchu soldiers. I just hope to live up to Your Majesty's expectations!"

When Mangui heard this, he couldn't help but feel very contemptuous. By this time, if he didn't know that Li Fengxiang suddenly did this abnormal thing just to show the emperor, then he would be really confused.

The generals were a little stunned after hearing this. It seems that Eunuch Li didn't mean everything, they just ate together. And this eating together was just now.

With this in mind, they looked in the direction of Li Fengxiang. At this glance, they suddenly discovered that after such a long time, Li Fengxiang's bowl seemed to have never been touched. Suddenly, they, like Man Gui, suddenly realized in their hearts.

These generals originally thought that they were finally respected by someone, and the blood in their bodies couldn't help but boil. But now they understood the real reason why Li Fengxiang came to eat with them, and the untouched food, they couldn't help but feel relieved. Cool down. It was how it was before, and it is still how it is now. In fact, it hasn't changed. It's just my own fault!

As a result, they became cold-hearted when the emperor said that they wanted to have a meal together. They didn't believe it. The eunuchs who served people looked down on them from the bottom of their hearts and disdained to eat with their warriors. The emperor was the best in the world. How could we actually have a meal with them? It’s just a show of trying to win over people’s hearts!

Hu Guang naturally didn't know the changes in their hearts. He was very satisfied with Li Fengxiang's answer. He nodded and sat on the main seat. Then he waved his hand and said: "Don't be cautious. Eat and drink when you should. Don't do it because of me." I won’t eat or drink when I come here, and I’m counting on you to run errands!”

The truth of these words warmed the hearts of these generals. At least the emperor was not as hypocritical as Eunuch Li!

Seeing the emperor sit down, the servant chose a new bowl and chopsticks, and served new rice. Then another waiter came forward, preparing to remove the leftovers from the table.

When Hu Guang saw it, he waved his hand to stop it and said: "That's it. The capital is in short supply of supplies and the refugees can't even eat, so don't waste it!"

These servants had been accompanying Hu Guang out, so they naturally saw the emperor getting angry at the refugees. Saying this at this time, they knew they couldn't stop it, so they started preparing to try the dishes again.

Those generals just watched silently, thinking in their hearts: Look, the emperor is so good at eating, how can he eat with warriors like himself? Do he really want to eat the leftover food of warriors like himself? This is absolutely impossible!
