The officials gave round after round of imperial wine, and Xiao Tong sat in the seat farthest from the official, watching various performances, enjoying half a day of peace.

The programs include dance, sumo wrestling, cuju, etc. The instructors or the leaders of the performances who bring the tricksters into the arena have all been rewarded by the officials!

Near the time of the unitary hour, after the maiden dance and chorus performance, and finally drank the last cup of wine, Xiao Tong left the hall early and led more than a dozen geisha into the arena, just like the last opera entering the arena, the court officials first After kowtowing and wishing her birthday, she returned to her seat and quietly watched the performance of "Zhaojun's Exodus" performed by the geisha.

This opera is not as relaxed and cheerful as "Zhang Xie Zhuangyuan". Someone burst into tears.

Xiao Tong was restless the whole time, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles.After spending a month in Ouchi, her political awareness is not as shallow as before, and she understands many grievances and grievances between the new party and the old party.The differences in political views between the two parties, in addition to whether to implement the New Deal on the national economy and the people's livelihood, also hold different opinions on the issue of alien invasion. The new party advocates resistance, and the old party advocates the exchange of old coins for peace.

Now the Great Song Dynasty and Xixia are both at war and at peace, and the relationship between the two countries is on the line, and the tension is not released. It is all because there are still old party officials such as Chu Guogong standing in the court, preventing the officials and Li Zao from pushing the executive order.

There are even more officials who hide deeply, can't tell the old from the new, and may jump out at any time to make trouble, which makes the officials a headache.

The opera "Mulan" she performed had a tendency to be the main battle, so she was highly praised by the officials of the new school, and she was naturally pushed to the side of the new school.After the last opera, the government gave her a seat, which has already aroused controversy among the old party officials. Now that this sensitive "Zhaojun's Exodus" is performed again, how many storms will it cause?

She muttered in her heart, "I knew I would have chosen a few more manuscripts, and I would not have chosen this kind of subject!"

Finally, when the opera performance was finished, Xiao Tong hurried back to the front of the geisha, and after the official awarded the geisha, she hurriedly thanked the official, thinking it was all right, she was about to run away with a smile on her face, when she turned around, Then I heard the official say: "Xiao Tong stay!"

The footsteps stopped, and the smile on his face suddenly froze.

She could only watch the geisha leave the scene, then turned around and stood facing the official house with her head bowed.

Officials began to comment on "Zhaojun's Out of the Fortress", "Zhaojun's Out of the Fortress" Zhuqing also finished watching, it can be seen that since ancient times, there have been constant conflicts between Hu and Han, but even though the Han Dynasty exchanged gold, silver and beauties for peace, after many years, the Han and Tu Suffered a lot from Wu Huan Hua. It can be seen that the Hu people are insatiable, the more they compromise, the more arrogant they will be!"

Li Zao saw that the officials had no intention to continue talking, looked at the Duke of Chu who was opposite, and deliberately said, "What the officials said is true! Now we are in another dispute with Xixia, and the ministers will never compromise!"

Li Zao's party members all spoke in agreement.

But the Chu Guogong faction remained silent, thinking about how to deal with this confrontation later.

After a while, Chu Guogong said: "Officials, today is your birthday banquet. It is so festive, and there are envoys from various countries here. Is it too serious to raise the war?"

Chu Guogong was afraid that the officials would persecute his henchmen at the banquet, so he preemptively prevented him from continuing the topic.

The young emperor smiled kindly, looked at the envoys from various countries, and finally set his eyes on Xiao Tong, and said: "The Duke of Chu taught it right, but I made a slip of the tongue! Since it is a festive day, if we don't talk about war, then Let's reward the meritorious deeds!"

"Xiao Tong!"

When the official called, Xiao Tong was so frightened that he froze, bowed and said: "The grass people are here."

The official said with a smile: "I heard that you have assisted the Jiaofang Secretary to prepare this banquet two months ago, and you have done your best. Today, you have presented an opera that satisfies me and all the ministers. Not only has you worked hard, but it also shows your extraordinary talent ability."

"The official has been awarded."

The officials winked at Xuanhui.Xuanhui envoy thought for a while, and understood what the official meant. He stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to the official, the post of Deputy Envoy of the Jiaofang Division has been vacant for a long time, and it is time to employ someone. What do you think of this person?"

Finally being pushed to the forefront on the spot, Xiao Tong took a deep breath and accepted the reality.

The body that was trembling with tension also relaxed, becoming calm and calm.

She lowered her head, unable to see the unpredictable expressions of everyone in the hall.But I heard that there are many officials of the new faction, and the officials are the leaders of the new faction, so they will not kill her!

Li Zao was also caught off guard, shocked in his heart, although he is the prime minister, but the official's ideas have always been uncertain, and his temperament is also eccentric, often smiling when he is playing tricks, which makes people shudder.

The idea discussed before the banquet was that the officials would lure out the latent old party by talking about opera. After the banquet, they discussed the matter of appointing Xiao Tong Jiaofang's deputy envoy. .

Unexpectedly, he was suddenly interrupted by the Duke of Chu, and the government temporarily changed it to rewarding meritorious deeds. They wanted to appoint Xiao Tong as the deputy envoy of Jiaofang, so as to test out the old party.In this case, he is really not good at dissuading him!

Then, the envoy Xuanhui presented the memorial to the officials who had prepared for Xiao Tong's merits. This memorial was originally intended to be handed over to the officials after the banquet, but he left an extra thought, worried that things might change, so he took it with him. Carry it on your body.

Sure enough, it comes in handy now!

Almost the whole of this memorial discusses Xiao Tong's contribution.

The first contribution was Xiao Tong's assistance to the Jiaofang Division for more than two months, presenting an opera performance for the official's birthday banquet;

Second, Xiao Tongpai's "Mulan" has been popular in Bianjing for more than three months. The content shows the spirit of resisting the enemy and serving the country with loyalty, and affects the officials and the people. It can be seen that he also has loyalty and courage;

Third, it is the first to promote a new art, which will add to the artistic career of the Song Dynasty;

Fourth, the talent show will be held in Bianjing Square, so that every talented person will have the opportunity to show off and discover talents in arts and crafts.This draft has mobilized the geisha from the teaching workshops and tooth shops, which is enough to demonstrate Xiao Tong's extraordinary coordination ability.Xiao Tong is in the martial arts industry in the workshop, so he has become a prestigious person, and it is of great benefit to assist the director of the teaching workshop in dealing with the art of the workshop;

Finally, it is discussed that Xiao Tong himself runs a dental clinic and has management talents, which is enough to be the deputy envoy of Jiaofang.

Xuanhui envoy’s request for meritorious service was read out in public by the servants around the official’s side. His writing style was superb. Although the wording was a little flattering, it truthfully told what Xiao Tong had done, which made many officials, clans, and foreign envoys present repeatedly. Nodding his head in praise, he wished he could immediately add the official uniform of Jiaofang Deputy Envoy to Xiao Tong!

Xiao Tong's cheeks were hot with embarrassment, thinking, "It's just for making money, how can you say it's so great?"

After the reading was finished, the official said with a feigned smile, "I never expected that although Xiao Tong is a girl, she is very talented. Xuanhui envoy recommended her to be the deputy envoy of Jiaofang. What do you think?"

Li Zao thought for a while, as the leader of the officials of the new sect, if the court disobeyed the officials' wishes, then the other officials of the new sect would definitely follow. !

So he had no choice but to accept it, and the rest of the new officials and clan members followed suit one after another.

Many foreign envoys also congratulated the officials one after another.

Members of the old party knew very well that the officials used festive events to identify their positions, and cleaned them up afterwards, and several of them who were not firm in their positions agreed with the officials.

Chu Guogong's minions gave the matter, and under the instructions of Chu Guogong, he strongly opposed it.

The official is young and imposing, and almost quarreled with Qi Shizhong.In order not to make the festive atmosphere too severe, and the foreign envoys could see the clue, Li Zao stopped them in time.It is proposed that Xiao Tong canonize Jiaofang as the deputy envoy, and it will be discussed after the banquet.

An emperor's birthday banquet broke up in this seemingly joyous and festive atmosphere, which was actually tense.

After walking out of the Jiying Hall, Xiao Tong finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he would be able to leave the palace and return home.

Unexpectedly, envoy Xuan Hui came to her and told her that the officials asked her to stay in Da Nei for the time being, and would call her to talk about opera tomorrow.And comforted her: "The Deputy Envoy of Jiaofang is yours, so don't worry, when the officials clear away the obstacles, sooner or later it will be yours."

Li Zao had already approved the official appointment in the palace, as the prime minister of a country, he would not back down because of personal grievances.The old party official who can reject the decree can only be given to one person, as long as he is transferred, Xiao Tong's appointment can be unimpeded!

In order to prevent the old party from being unfavorable to Xiao Tong, the Xuanhui envoy also arranged for two forbidden soldiers to follow her until she was canonized.

The folk dancers, boys and girls, and officials who entered the palace to perform came out through Xuande Building and left along the Imperial Street. They had hairpins on their heads and colorful clothes. Officials rode horses and courtiers walked.

Many common people flocked to both sides of the imperial street to watch, laughing and clamoring, having fun with the emperor, and rubbing the blessing of the emperor by the way!

Si Qinghu was wearing a veiled hat, and he and Xiao Yi managed to get to the front of the crowd, looking towards the Xuande Building, searching for Xiao Tong's figure.

After waiting for a long time, but still no one was seen, Xiao Yi asked suspiciously: "Didn't I write to you the day before yesterday to tell you that I would come out after the official banquet, why didn't I see anyone?"

Si Qinghu's face was slightly anxious, but he still said patiently: "Wait a little longer!"

In the end, no one came out of Da Nei, and the sky darkened.

Xiao Yi said angrily: "This big rice bucket actually wrote to lie to you, let's go, don't wait for her!"

Si Qinghu looked at the imperial city reluctantly, "Would you like to wait?"

"It's getting dark! Maybe something has delayed it."

After Xiao Yi persuaded her for a while, Si Qinghu finally gave up, followed her into the carriage and returned to the tooth shop.

As soon as he arrived at the door, the clerk of the tooth shop came up to meet him, and sent a letter to Si Qinghu, which was sent back by Xiao Tong.

The two hurried back to Si Qinghu's room to watch.

Si Qinghu's expression changed from joy at first, to doubt, and finally to worry.

Xiao Yi said: "What did she say, did something happen?"

Si Qinghu said: "She was left in Da Nei by the officials, and she still doesn't know when she will come back."

"why?"

"She may be appointed as the deputy envoy of the Jiaofang."

"Ah?" Xiao Yi was shocked and couldn't believe it.

Si Qinghu didn't show surprise, but his inner thoughts were the same as Xiao Yi's.

Xiao Tong is only in the university to help, but he is so favored by officials?For a moment, she didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse, joy or sorrow?

"However, the appointment has not yet been made, and there are still variables. She said to keep quiet for the time being, and don't tell the family yet." Si Qinghu said again.

Xiao Yi nodded in understanding, seeing the person in front of her who was concentrating and anxious, she suddenly said in surprise, "Oh, the rich man got an official title, will the official give her a marriage by the way?"

Si Qinghu's heart skipped a beat, his complexion was not very good.

The next moment, Xiao Yi giggled with joy!

Si Qinghu gave her a gouged look, and she almost believed this nonsense, she became angrily and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? The officials are so unreliable, you have to ask the old lady for the marriage!"

Maybe it was influenced by Li Zao, even though she said so, but when Xiao Tong didn't come back, she felt a little uneasy.The return date of the person she was thinking of was uncertain, and she put most of her energy into the draft, trying her best to expel this ridiculous worry from her mind.

Xiao Tong was in Da Nei, except that he was summoned by the officials to go to the palace to give lectures on operas, and spent the rest of his days in the Jiaofang Division, studying with Huaelou, and taking over the work of the Jiaofang Deputy Envoy.

She is guarded by two forbidden soldiers every day, and she has to test the poison before eating, which made her worry every day, and she only dared to sleep lightly at night.

She also knew that it wasn't because she was such a great person.In the eyes of civil servants and military generals, Jiaofang Deputy Envoy is just an inconspicuous petty official with six grades. His duty is to entertain people, and he has no political role.

But her significance lies in that she is the new party's blow to the old party, a game, if she can't take that position or dies here, it means that the officials lose this game, and the old party will be even more arrogant!

After the banquet, after nearly ten days of power battles, Li Zao and other key members of the new faction lived up to the expectations of the officials, found out the taint in the matter, impeached him to step down, and demoted him from the capital.

The official appointment letter was drafted by Zhongshu Sheren, and the new appointment was reviewed and approved by Shizhong, Prime Minister and other senior officials of the three provinces. The whole process went smoothly, and finally it was issued to Xiao Tong!

The author has something to say: Congratulations Shiro!
