When he woke up, Bai Zhizhan found that he was lying on the bed in the hotel.

This time he didn't drink the broken pieces, he clearly remembered that he walked back to the hotel, and the waiter at the front desk had to help him upstairs, but he refused. After returning to the room, he didn't forget to wash his face and rinse his mouth, but he couldn't remember how he got to bed in the end, how he took off his clothes and covered the quilt.

Actually, I didn't drink much last night, at most half a bottle.

It's not that Bai Zhizhan doesn't drink enough, it's that the chef is a little stingy. Seeing that Bai Zhizhan drank so quickly, he hid another bottle.

The main thing is that sorghum wine has a particularly strong stamina.

I didn't feel anything when I drank it, but when the wine got up, it was terrible.

After washing his face with cold water, Bai Zhizhan was much more sober.

The chef was not stingy, but he was afraid that he would get drunk, but he got drunk in the end, but he didn't show his foreign appearance and walked back by himself.

I can't drink like this next time!

When there was a knock on the door, Bai Zhizhan was brushing his teeth.

"It's coming, it's coming! Don't knock, it's not so urgent! ”

The knock was very urgent, and the thumping sound was like thunder, which made Bai Zhizhan very annoyed.

When I opened the door, I found that it was Zhou Yongtao, and he was wearing a dress.

Is this guy going to a wedding?

Maybe it's to meet the future mother-in-law.

Seeing Bai Zhizhan in pajamas, his hair was messy, and he was still full of alcohol, Zhou Yongtao was also surprised, or a little shocked.

"So early?"

"It's still early? Do you know what day it is? ”

"What day."

"The first day of the new year, the first day of the new year!"

"Oh, New Year's. Are you dressed so neatly, are you going to set up a New Year for your future mother-in-law? ”

"How much did you drink last night?" Zhou Yongtao was obviously a little anxious.

"Just two glasses in the restaurant."

"You...... Hurry up and change your clothes, and get a formal attire! ”

"What is this for? You go to see your future mother-in-law......"

"Conferring titles, don't you forget that the ceremony for the awarding of new generals was held in the Privy Council today?"

Hearing Zhou Yongtao say this, Bai Zhizhan was stunned at first, and then rushed into the bathroom.

He really forgot!

It was also too busy during this time, which made Bai Zhizhan forget about returning to the imperial capital. If Zhou Yongtao hadn't come to the hotel to call him, he would probably have gone to the headquarters after breakfast.

Zhou Yongtao was also very impressed, and felt that he should not leave Bai Zhizhan.

On the second day after returning to the imperial capital, Zhou Yongtao rushed to the Naval Officer Academy to select a group of outstanding graduates according to the meaning of Bai Zhiwar. Although the Naval Academy is graduated in the summer of each year, in times of war, cadets can be allowed to intern in the fleet and units in advance.

More than twenty years ago, Bai Zhizhan graduated early and went to the 21st Detachment of the Home Fleet.

Zhou Yongtao returned to the imperial capital by transport plane in the middle of the night last night, to be precise, early this morning, and then came to the hotel non-stop to find Bai Zhizhan.

Who would have thought that Bai Zhizhan would forget about this.

If you had known, you should have called yesterday to remind you.

Luckily, it's early in the morning and there's plenty of time.

Bai Zhizhan quickly took a shower and washed his head by the way.

Taking this opportunity, Zhou Yongtao turned out the dressing dress that was placed in the wardrobe.

This was sent by Li Yunxiang after Bai Zhizhan came to the imperial capital, saying that when he came back last time, Fang Suqing ordered it according to Bai Zhizhan's size. In Fang Suqing's words, Bai Zhizhan won the battle and made great contributions, and this dress will be used sooner or later.

When Fang Suqing ordered this dress, he must have been thinking about Bai Zhizhan's lifelong event.

To put it bluntly, when you go to meet your future mother-in-law in the future, you can dress formally and leave a perfect first impression.

After Bai Zhizhan put on a dress, he really looked like the god of war of the Imperial Navy.

There are some similarities with Chen Bingxun.

Not to mention anything else, Chen Bingxun is also not good-looking, his height is short among his peers, and his appearance is even a little ugly, but the pair of blazing, like an eagle, seems to be able to see everything, and the eyes that can see the inner activities of others make anyone afraid when they see it.

Emperor Shiwu used the word "eagle and wolf Gu" to describe Chen Bingxun's eyes.

Bai Zhizhan's gaze is not so sharp, perhaps due to the deliberate restraint of daily life.

"How?"

"Not bad, this dress is made-to-order, right?"

Bai Zhizhan was speechless, and Zhou Yongtao commented on the dress.

"It's getting late, let's go."

The two did not delay any longer, Bai Zhizhan went to the headquarters to go through the formalities, went to the Privy Council for documents, and Zhou Yongtao went to the restaurant of the hotel to get two breakfasts and asked for a car.

On the way to the Privy Council, the two of them finished breakfast.

The matter of awarding the title has little to do with Zhou Yongtao. It's just that after the award ceremony, Xue Yuanzheng personally commended and commended the meritorious soldiers, and all of them were officers and soldiers at the grassroots level. Traditionally, the navy is based on the fleet, and each fleet selects one or more representatives.

Task Force 1 had just been formed, and its scale was not large, so only one representative was elected.

That's right, it's Zhou Yongtao.

It's also convenient.

Although according to his military rank, Zhou Yongtao can be regarded as a grassroots officer, but according to his position, he serves in the fleet command, and he is definitely not a grassroots officer and soldier.

That can't be done, Task Force 1 is still on standby at that port.

By the time the two arrived at the Privy Council, the rest of the people who had come to attend the awards and awards had already arrived, and the roadside was full of cars parked outside.

Fortunately, the driver was arranged by the hotel, and there was no problem of finding a place to park.

The guards came from the internal security department of the Praetorian Guard, often referred to as Ouchi's bodyguards. After checking the documents of the two people, they asked the two to hand over the belongings they were carrying, and finally searched carefully before the guards let them go, to be precise, let the reception staff inside take the two inside.

Not to mention Zhou Yongtao, Bai Zhizhan is here for the first time.

This small courtyard was not only the power hub of the Empire, but also the center of power of the Empire for a long time in the past.

In the early days of the empire, the Privy Council was the imperial study of Emperor Shiwu.

Even now, the symbolism of the Privy Council is only below the Royal Palace.

After the constitutional reform, the primary duty of the Privy Council was to exercise jurisdiction on behalf of the emperor, to administer and use the seal, and to appoint cabinet ministers, including the first assistant.

Strictly speaking, the Imperial Chiefs and Auxiliaries are only administrators appointed by the Privy Council, and are accountable to the Privy Council.

On a day-to-day basis, the Privy Council acts as a bridge between the Cabinet and the Inner Palace.

In extraordinary times, the Privy Council was directly under the command of the Emperor.

In addition, all major events, not only the conferment of generals, but also the swearing-in of cabinet officials such as the first assistant, were held in the Privy Council.

In this arrangement, it actually symbolizes that the power organs of the empire have to be loyal to the emperor.

It can be seen that this is the most sacred place that civilians can reach.

Still going up?

Then become a relative of the imperial family, and only by becoming a member of the royal family, even if it is a colt, can you be eligible to enter the palace in peacetime. If not, then even the current Shousuke can only enter the palace after something major has happened and has been approved by the Privy Council.

Bai Zhizhan's mood was a little excited, and Zhou Yongtao was looking around all the way.

feelings, just like the two hillbillies who entered the Grand View Garden.

Actually, there's nothing to see.

It's just an ordinary courtyard, but it's heavily guarded.
