---------------------------------------------

The capital's Influence Army entered the east wing of the Zuoyuan. The room was pitch black and there was a loud knock on the door outside. "Master!" someone shouted.

"Wait!" Xin Xi sat up from the bed, wearing only a white middle robe, and walked through the dark room. To open the door, he saw his nephew Shan Monk who was knocking on the door with his fist, and the veteran holding a candlestick. Between the two, there was a smile on his face.

The eunuch smiled and said to him: "Envoy Xin, Your Majesty the Emperor promises you to come to the palace to meet you immediately!"

Xin Xi was a little hesitant. It was already midnight. At this time, the emperor seemed to be giving a banquet to the generals of the three tribes of the eight towns in the palace. "Please wait a moment, and I will change my clothes." Xin Xi asked the eunuchs to wait outside the door. He returned to the house and asked his two nephews to serve him to change clothes. He put on a purple official robe, a virgin crown, a jade belt, and held the goldfish bag at his waist. The long sword that never left his body was also taken to his hand.

The Ming Palace is brilliant but quiet. When the mountain monk and the elders escorted him all the way to the gate of the imperial city, a new moon was already hanging low on the high wall. On the top of the city, the fiery red cloaks of the Jinwu Guard and the Shen Ce Army appeared and were guarding the imperial city.

Following the eunuchs, he passed through the imperial city, then through the Tai Chi Palace, and finally arrived at the Daming Palace.

On the way, Xin Xi was guessing the reason why the emperor announced his audience at this time, but after thinking about it, he had no result. He asked the eunuch beside him, but the eunuch only smiled. "It's not convenient for us to reveal it, but we can tell Xin that this is a good thing."

Tonight's banquet is in Linde Hall. The Linde Hall is magnificent in the rules and structure, and is a classic work of Tang Dynasty architecture. It is located on a high ground west of Taiye Lake in the Daming Palace, and is closely connected by four halls in front and back.

During the banquet at Linde Hall, there are 3,000 people in front of the hall and under the corridor, and perform a hundred plays. You can also hit polos in front of the hall. There is an open square in front of the hall.

Emperor Daizong of Tang Dynasty celebrated more than 3,500 soldiers of the Shence Army. Officials in the Tang Dynasty were proud to be able to attend the banquet in Linde Hall.

Outside the gate of Linde Hall, the eunuch whispered: "The General of Zuo Xiaogu, Xin Xi, will meet you!"

A moment later, an eunuch inside said loudly: "Your Majesty has an order. Xin Xi, the general of Xuan Zuo Xiaogu, will meet you!"

The emperor's banquet today was in the nave of the third hall of Linde Hall. Before entering the palace, Xin Xi had been searched and his long sword had been left outside the palace. At this time, someone came up to search again before he could put him in. He went in. There were Shen Ce Army guards everywhere, approaching the nave. They were all Qianniu Guards with Qianniu swords on their waists.

Although it was already March night, silver charcoal was still burning in the hall, and as soon as you entered the hall, a wave of heat came to your face. Countless palace lanterns in the hall illuminated the entire hall like daytime. The emperor sat at the top, with two rows of desk chairs on the left and right. On the left were important officials in the capital with the prime minister as the prime minister. Behind the right seat, there were generals such as Zheng Cong-sei and Li Guan who were awarded the rewards.

With his hard work, his eyes swept across the hall quickly. The young emperor was smiling, as if he was very excited. The eunuchs such as Tian Lingzi were also smiling slightly. On the other hand, from Zheng Congyi to Yu Ren, Li Guan, Cui Anqian and others were all covered in vain and did not feel happy at all.

While Xin Xi was still guessing what happened, the emperor heard the emperor said, "Okay, General Xin recommended by Li Zhenguo has arrived, so this matter is settled. Tomorrow morning, in front of Linde Hall, the general of Zuo Shence Army recommended by Lieutenant Tian, ​​and the general Xin recommended by Li Zhenguo, decided who will be the deputy ambassador and governor of the Datong Army and Lulong Army, deputy envoy of the Jiedushi, Sima of the Jiedushi, and judge of the Jiedushi. Now, all the best friends will drink with me!"

The emperor gave Xin Xi a seat until he sat down, and he was still a little confused. Just next to him was Sima Li Zhen, a marching army in the State Army.

"What's going on?" Xin Xi asked.

Li Zhen sat there, holding the wine glass in his hand, his eyes full of depression. Hearing Xin Xi asked, he put the wine glass in front of him, sighed a few times before saying, "Envoy Xin doesn't know anything. Just now, Your Majesty has appointed my family's Jie Shi Shi, Situ, the Secretary of the Central Committee, and the Tong Pingzhang Pavilion in Xuanzheng Hall, and also serves as the governor of Lu Long and Datong Towns."

Xin Xi was a little surprised when she heard the Situ Jiafeng and was about to say a few words of congratulations, but when she heard the long list of official positions behind her, she couldn't help but look shocked and was shocked on the spot.

Li Zhen smiled bitterly: "Eunuch Xin also saw that something was wrong. These were all the eunuch Tian Lingzi's secret tricks. This is to praise Jieshang."

"We should refuse!" Xin Xi expressed his opinion very directly. Although he had known Li Guan for a short time, after meeting Gao Ling, they had already had a relationship of being close to each other. In his opinion, Li Guan was indeed a rare young general. With time, he would definitely become a famous general like Li Jing, Li Ji, and Li Sheng. Now he is a very powerful minister at once, and this will never be a good thing.

"The Grand Marshal did refuse, but the emperor refused. Therefore, another incident happened now." Li Zhen sighed. He was also a cavalry in the Shence Army before, so he was still interested in the Tang Dynasty, but the emperor's performance really disappointed him. "Your Majesty refused to resign from the position of the Second Town, and the traitor of Tian Lingzi took the opportunity to ask the General Jieshi to still serve as the General Jieshi, but he had to arrange for the Deputy Ambassador to serve as the General Jieshi, as well as the marching Sima, the judge of the Jieshi, and the envoy of the Jieshi."

The deputy ambassador and the governor of the Jiedushi, this official position is not the deputy ambassador, there is a big difference between the two. The deputy ambassador and the governor of the Jiedushi, usually the prince is the actual first officer in the vassal state when he is in the remote position of Jiedushi. In addition to the difference in name, he is the actual governor. However, the deputy ambassador and the governor of the Jiedushi have much less power, and are even worse than the marching Sima. Once this deputy ambassador and the governor of the Jiedushi are appointed, Li Guan is actually a name and will not have any real power to the two towns.

Xin Xi finally understood a little, "It's good."

"It was very good, but the key thing is." Speaking of this, Li Zhen couldn't help but sigh again, "Oh, I don't know how to say some things. Just now, Tian Lingzi recommended four generals of the Zuo Shence Army to the emperor to take up these positions. It would be fine for the other three. After all, they are generals of the Shence Army, and they have been in the army for many years. But he actually recommended his brother who was selling cakes in Xuzhou a year ago. Damn, a cake seller, who is now going to be the commander of the Zhenjie. What's this happening?"

Xin Xi was stunned again, and she was a little confused.

"Your Majesty can agree to such a ridiculous thing?"

Li Zhen laughed, his smile full of complexity. Meeting a king like Li Yan is the greatest misfortune of all scholars.

"Shi Shuai Li couldn't stand it, so he proposed four names to His Majesty and asked the envoy Xin and the chiefs of the three tribes to compete for these positions. However, what our great general really likes is the envoy Xin."

"Duke of Qi recommended someone?" Xin Qi was a little surprised.

Li Zhen chuckled, "Actually, I think Xin Zhijun is the most suitable for this position. Xin Zhijun is chivalrous and loyal. It would be great if you can take over as the governor of the Tongjun of Peking University. Unfortunately, there are even more ridiculous things to come."

"What's even more ridiculous?" Xin Xi couldn't think of it. What else is more ridiculous than letting a vendor who was selling big cakes a year ago serve as the deputy ambassador and military governor of a town?

"Envoy Xin just heard Your Majesty explain that the person recommended by Tian Lingzi and you guys recommended by Li Shuai will compete with you to decide the final position. Eunuch Xin thinks, what is this competition? " Li Zhen said in a low voice.

Xin Xi asked strangely: "This competition should be the same as the official assessment of officials of the Ministry of Personnel. It is nothing more than the past official reputation and political achievements, and if you take office, you may also consider the ability to command troops, and ride and shoot immediately."

Li Zhen sneered: "Wrong, there is only one content in the competition: playing polo, two teams have the same ball, and which team wins in the end will be the people of which team will take up all positions. Among them, the position of deputy ambassador and military governor of Peking University will be the general who scores the most goals."

"Basketball betting on the military governor?" Xin Xi suddenly felt a suffocation in his chest and almost couldn't breathe. His eyes were wide open, and his big hand, which had been holding a sword for many years, clenched tightly into a fist. He couldn't believe such a ridiculous thing.

When Li Zhen saw Xin Xi, he was about to stand up and quickly pulled his clothes: "Sat up, envoy Xin, Duke Zheng of Wei, Duke Yu of Wei, Duke Xu, Duke Cui Yu of Qi, Duke Li Zhenguo of Shang, and Duke Shang Li Zhuo of Shang were all advised the emperor, but unfortunately the emperor was not moved at all. If you advise him again at this time, it will not only be effective, but may anger the emperor."

"Can the palace let such a ridiculous thing happen? In the future history records, we will be scolded by future generations and poked the backbone." Xin Xi said in pain.

Li Zhen advised: "If the general insists on giving advice, Zhen naturally cannot stop him. But the general has thought that it will be useless to do this at this time. If the general is blamed by His Majesty for giving advice, and finally let the person who sells cakes be the commander of the town, wouldn't that be even more misleading the country and the people? At the moment, I think that the general might as well be patient for the time being, and wait until the position of commander of the commander of the court tomorrow, and then he will be in office. Wouldn't it be better to do something that is beneficial to the people and loyal to the emperor?"

Xin Feng couldn't swallow it in one breath.

"All General Cheng cherishes his reputation even more, but ignores the real situation? I am willing to look at Chen Jingxuan and others and finally take the position of the commander of the Zhenzhen?"
