  The next day, all the officials in the capital went to Hanyuan Hall to attend the Shuo Dynasty. I was just a scavenger of the eighth grade, so I stood at the end of the line, separated from Qin Tingying and Xu Shen by a sea of ​​people.

  In the court, the emperor ordered Zhongshu Shilang to read the edict.

  "Qin Tingying, the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu, and Xu Jinxing, the Supplementary Supplement of the Zuo of Zhongshu Province, managed the floods in the north of the Yangtze River and were promoted to the first level. Qin Tingying was transferred to the Ministry of Personnel and served as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Xu Jinxing was promoted to the person of Zhongshu Sheren."

  After the edict was read, All the officials had different expressions. But intimidated by the dragon's power, no one dared to raise objections.

  Apart from not satisfying my carnal desires, the Emperor indeed treated me extremely well. The position of Zhongshu Sheren was envied by literati, and many prime ministers held this position before becoming prime ministers. Moreover, this official is a fifth-grade official, which makes my promotion seem not excessive. Oh, he was really worried about me, but I just wanted him to fuck me.

  Qin Ting and I stepped forward to thank Long En and took the ribbon and official uniform. During this period, we glanced at each other, and Qin Tingying deliberately winked at me.

  After the edict was read out, the ministers began to report their duties. Ji Chenlin, Minister of the Ministry of War, stepped forward and said loudly: "Report to the emperor, General Xue Yiyang of Zhenyuan fought against the Tatars and won a great victory. He drove the Tatars to Mobei."

  "Very good!" The emperor praised the case and said in front of him He looked overjoyed and looked at Ji Chenlin: "When will Xue Yiyang return to Beijing?"

  "About ten days from now." Ji Chenlin answered truthfully.

  "Okay, let Jing Zhaoyin arrange the reception arrangements. I will personally welcome General Xue on his triumphant return at Zhuque Gate!" 

          On the tenth day of the lunar month, I put on my new official uniform and stood behind the emperor with all the ministers, waiting at the city gate. Written by Xue Yiyang. Under the city gate, people crowded with people along Zhuque Avenue, shoulder to shoulder.

  "General Xue is here!" the soldiers outside the imperial city shouted. As soon as his voice fell, the drum beat started again. I quietly moved to the side and looked down through the gap.

  The man riding a war horse at the head is majestic. He is wearing a black armor. His facial features are as three-dimensional as knife carvings, his eyebrows fly into his temples at an angle, and his posture is upright. He was like an unsheathed sword, piercing my chest. So handsome! I swallowed quietly. I hope he can be as neat as he looks and just go straight up with the gun.

  He came to the city gate, dismounted, walked to the emperor, knelt on one knee and resumed his life. The emperor helped him up and handed him a glass of wine with his own hand. Then, the emperor raised his wine glass and made some heroic speeches to the people under the city gate. Amid the cheers of the people, the emperor and Xue Yiyang drank the wine in one gulp. Because of Xue Yiyang's outstanding military exploits, the emperor awarded him a title and announced that the curfew would be lifted for three days, which again attracted cheers from everyone.

  That night, the emperor held a banquet to celebrate in Yude Hall, and officials of eighth rank and above were invited to go. I originally chose a secluded location, intending to eat something casually, and then find a chance to meet the prince. Unexpectedly, the emperor said that the banquet was just to celebrate success, and asked Qin Ting and I to come over and sit with him. It was really exciting. We sat at the same table, except for Xu Shen and another guy who didn't show up.

  "General Xue, this is Xu Jinxing, a newly promoted member of Zhongshushe." The Emperor introduced me to Xue Yiyang personally. Xue Yiyang just nodded towards me and raised his glass to me. Oops, this is a man of few words, and I have to spend a lot of effort to seduce him.

  "I have long admired the name of General Xue! As a civil servant, I admire you greatly." I still spoke politely to him.

  "Haha, Xu Qing, you don't have to belittle yourself. I only have civil servants and generals to govern the world." The emperor saw Xue Yiyang's cold eyes on me and immediately supported me.

  Others also quickly said some compliments, heating up the atmosphere. I was worried about how I would fall into Xue Yiyang's favor, so I stopped talking and drank alone in silence.

  "Xu Shiyi, oh no, I should change my words now. Mr. Xu, why are you not happy after being promoted?" Qin Tingying came over to tease me.

  "How is that possible? Being a member of Zhongshushe is a position coveted by civil servants." I laughed at myself and clinked glasses with him.

  "This new official uniform matches you very well. It makes you look even more colorful. It's not an exaggeration to say that you will be captivated by the country." Qin Tingying leaned into my ear and whispered softly. Come again? I was about to retort. At this time, the prince interrupted us. He asked with anger in his eyes: "Master Qin, when did you become so close to Master Xu?"

  "Your Highness, what you said, Master Xu and I They are colleagues, when did the relationship become bad?" Qin Tingying did not give in and looked at the prince. right! This is the right direction. The expression on my face remained unchanged, but my heart was filled with joy.

  "You! Huh! Let's go!" After all, the prince was still young. He didn't have the shamelessness of Qin Tingying, nor the sharp tongue of a civil servant. He was defeated, threw the wine glass angrily, and pulled me towards the imperial court. Garden walk.

  I was pulled away by the prince and turned back to see Qin Tingying. Qin Tingying raised the corners of his lips and shook his finger at me, as if he didn't care at all. But the candlelight was very bright, and I still saw a flash of sadness in his peach blossoms.

  The prince took me to the pavilion in the imperial garden and then let me go.

  "Brother Jinxing..." He looked at me with a look of grievance on his face.

  I sighed, and with the help of my drunkenness, I went up and touched his head, and comforted him: "No matter what, you are my best friend."

  "Really?" He looked up at me, with a look in his eyes. The smile cannot be hidden.

  "Really." I nodded, my tone extremely sure.

  "How was your stay in Beijing while I was in Jiangbei?" I casually asked him how he was doing.

  "No...nothing new." He replied hesitantly, with a trace of panic in his eyes.

  This is? What's going on? I secretly speculated.

  "Really?" My tone turned cold, trying to scare him into telling the truth.

  "Yeah, it's boring." He was unnatural just now, but now he immediately adjusted back and became calm.

  I couldn't ask him anything, so I had to give up.

  ——The

  update came in over the wall, and I also posted the scrap article.
