The noon feast should be regarded as a "family feast" strictly speaking. Emperor Xuanzong, Concubine Wu Hui, King Shou Li Qing and Princess Xianyi Li Fuer were all present.

It's just that because of Concubine Wu Hui's statement when she summoned Li Xi in advance, Princess Xianyi Li Fuer was very unhappy, so although she had to sit close to Li Xi with her surname, she found that even her father, Emperor Xuanzong Emperor Yanjing, was a little unhappy, and her heart was inevitably aggrieved and gloomy, and her mood was naturally not much better, and she didn't have the heart to talk to Li Xi or anything like that.

Compared with this, it was Li Qing, the king of Shou, who didn't know what he tasted from the conversation between Concubine Wu Hui and Li Xi just now, and when he looked at Li Xi again, his eyes were a little confused, but he didn't have the obvious hostility before, and even in the middle of the banquet, he also took the initiative to invite a drink and drank a cup with Li Xi, which made Emperor Xuanzong feel very relieved.

On the second day, on the fourth day of the first lunar month, that is, when all the yamen of the Tang Dynasty began to resume work, Li Xi and Li Yifeng, Liu Rong and others went to the Jianghuai transfer envoy to the Yamen, first accepted everyone's congratulations, and then congratulated everyone in turn - this time the promotion, not only Li Xi himself was promoted, but the level of the entire yamen was pulled up by one level, so with it, everyone followed the official to be promoted several levels.

The Jianghuai transfer envoy is directly subordinate to the political affairs hall, which was originally the yamen on the fifth grade, and this time it was directly upgraded to the yamen from the fourth grade, Li Xi was promoted from the deputy envoy of the Jianghuai transfer envoy from the sixth grade to the deputy envoy of the Jianghuai transfer envoy on the fifth grade, not counting his civil and military ranks, it can also be regarded as a seven-level promotion.

Correspondingly, the two praisers under the Jianghuai transfer envoy were also directly promoted from the seventh grade to the fifth grade, and the Jianghuai transfer envoy Si Cheng served by Li Yifeng was also directly promoted from the seventh grade to the fifth grade, and Liu Rong served as the chief secretary was also directly promoted from the eighth grade to the sixth grade, and Wei Yue, Yang Shenyu and other superintendents were also directly promoted from the eighth rank to the seventh grade.

It can be said that everyone has been promoted collectively.

Prior to this, whether it was Yang Shenyu, Wei Yue, or even Li Yifeng, they had calmly examined the changes in officialdom for decades, or they had been mixed in the officialdom for more than ten or twenty years, but they had never seen anyone who would be promoted so quickly, let alone experience it himself.

Not to mention that this time, it was actually served directly by a pot!

I got the news in advance, but after all, I still have to wait for the official text of the Ministry of Officials to resume work after all the yamen have begun to resume work, but everyone is an insider, so it is not a big deal to congratulate you in advance.

Although everyone came over enthusiastically at this time and asked Li Xi, the chief officer, to be sure to invite wine, it is not difficult to find that everyone's gaze at him has changed from the simple respect for Shangguan that was suspicious of the past year to a respectful and eager to hug the thick leg immediately.

They have been in this circle for a long time, no one is blind, and in just a few months, they can directly raise the entire yamen by several levels, which cannot be simply said to be because of the problem of Pei Yaoqing taking the stage to pay homage to the prime minister, but even more importantly, it still falls on Li Xi, the young deputy envoy.

At this time, the yamen was born, everyone was happy, and Li Xi also intended to be enveloped, so he agreed without hesitation to invite everyone to eat and drink, but now the yamen has just begun to resume work, if a large group of people go out to eat and celebrate together, it will inevitably cause criticism, so the date of eating and drinking has been pushed to the twelfth.

The promotion of the whole yamen is bound to be very eye-catching, at this time, there may be how many pairs of red eyes that are stimulated are staring at this side, everyone is also old in the officialdom, and naturally knows the truth that public anger should not be offended, so although the emotions are agitated at this time, as soon as Li Xi said this, everyone also understood what Li Xi meant, and the matter was immediately settled.

In the morning, the joint document of the Political Affairs Hall and the Ministry of Officials was issued, which can be regarded as the official promotion of the Jianghuai Transit Envoy Department.

Then, including the six departments and nine temples, there was an endless stream of people running over to visit the door.

At that time, Wei Yue was forced to pinch his nose and come to take office because he was excluded, but at this time, everyone saw that after a few months of hard work, the Jianghuai Transfer Envoy Department was already another major institution in the imperial court in addition to the six departments and nine temples, and Wei Yue, who was originally put on hold, was promoted several levels after a few months of hard work, and everyone was naturally greedy.

Moreover, but until this time, in fact, the entire yamen has to be regarded as in the grass-roots stage, not only are there only three governors, but the post of praise in the yamen is second only to the general transfer envoy and the deputy envoy of the Jianghuai transfer, and it has always been suspended.

Li Xi, Li Yifeng, and Liu Rong all belong to the local government, and there are not many grassroots acquaintances in the court, but Wei Yue, Yang Shenyu, and Chang Feng are all very well-connected figures in Chang'an. Anyway, it's only the fourth year of junior high school, and everything has to slowly get back on track, so as long as he doesn't come to Li Xi, Li Xi will turn a blind eye to this kind of mutual movement between the yamen.

He also knew in his heart that these positions, let alone outsiders, even Wei Yue and the others were still worried about it, and they would never push the trouble to their side. If you want to say that there is trouble, I am afraid that Su Jin and Li Shizhi will have a very close past with them, and it is inevitable that some people will ask for favors to find the past.

Therefore, Li Xi didn't wait for others to start robbing, and on the sixth day of the first month, he wrote to Emperor Xuanzong and gave him the position at the entrance of the yamen.

Wei Yue and Li Yifeng were directly promoted to praise, and Yang Shenyu was transferred to the Jianghuai transfer envoy Si Cheng, in addition, Yang Zhao was re-appointed as the governor of Zhengqipin and officially entered the Jianghuai transfer envoy Yamen.

At this moment, it is equivalent to bringing up these people who Li Xi has already used well and those who will be reused, and the following superintendents don't have to care too much, they can open the mouth and let the officials hand over the resumes of the other people who are screaming to squeeze in, and Wei Yue and Li Yifeng will slowly select them.

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, Zhang Jiuling and Pei Yaoqing, who took up their new posts, summoned Li Xi and Wei Yue to the political hall for the first time to discuss the issue of three sets of plans for rebuilding the Guangtong Canal.

After three discussions, the government affairs hall officially decided to choose the second set of plans, and approved the rebuilding of the Guangtong Canal to be officially launched on the 16th day of the first month. The Jianghuai Transit Envoy took the lead, and the Ministry of Industry sent out a foreigner, and the Ministry of Household sent a foreigner, plus Chen Qingzhi, the young Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, and Shaanzhou Thorn Shi participated in this matter together.

At this point, the dredging of the road has officially kicked off.
