Xu Haiming became the governor, and as usual, he hung up the title of secretary of the ministry, which can theoretically be on an equal footing with Xiao Chen.

But this time, Xiao Chen was sent as the envoy of the Qin Mission, so that he could persuade those remnants of the Tianxuanhui who were stubborn to resist, so this envoy had to be Xiao Chen.

I know that the two of you are not in harmony, but I still hope that Aiqing will focus on the overall situation, and you must not have any dirt with him, let alone compete with him, anyway, after you arrive in Yizhou, you will perform your own duties, and the well water will not interfere with the river water.

As for why Li Wanjiang did not directly and publicly announce the appointment of Xu Haiming?

That is because he still has a little concern, after all, his younger brother and sons are still fighting in Yizhou, and they actually have a say in the choice of the governor of Yizhou.

It didn't seem very appropriate to directly appoint Xu Haiming without asking for their opinions, so I first appointed him as a deputy envoy to take over the affairs of Yizhou temporarily......

Xiao Chen was pitted by the fat man, and he had to put on a birthday banquet, saying that you have received other people's birthday gifts, don't you treat them like words?

Hundreds of invitations were sent out alone, but the big guys all accepted the invitations, but many of them refused to come, not that they put up a shelf and didn't give Xiao Chen face, but that some lowly officials knew that this was the politeness of Lord Xiao.

If you really come here, you don't know the current affairs, and if you talk about the six books, the princes and ministers are all here, do they dare to sit at the same table with others?

The same table is also very awkward, I don't dare to speak, I don't dare to fart, I don't dare to eat food, and I don't dare to drink wine...... Isn't that a sin?

There are also many officials who were rehabilitated by Xiao Chen did not come, knowing that they should avoid suspicion at this time, anyway, the gifts have been delivered, and it doesn't matter if people come or not. Besides, when can't you come, do you have to rush this day to join in the fun?

As we all know, Lord Xiao has a lot of friends and enemies, and it is obviously very inappropriate for him to appear at this time.

These are also the unspoken rules of officialdom, the big guys all act according to the rules and know each other, so there is no need to repeat them one by one.

But there were also more than 100 people here, and the banquet hall that was not big for Xiao Chen was full.

The chief is Zhu Xiaochuan, Wang Anbang, Chen Wenqi, Lu Jing, Ma Wuming, Shao Wenzhao, Yu Changlin, Wu Zhongze, Wu Zicheng, Gong Shouli, and some military and political officials of the second rank and above.

Even Xu Haiming and the big fat man Li Hong, the two dignified three-grade waiters, were in second place, and there were also Liu Qiheng and Zhu Tianfu in the second seat.

Since Chen Jisheng was dismissed from office, the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate has been vacant, and Liu Qiheng is far from Chen Jisheng in terms of ability and prestige, so he is currently only temporarily acting in charge of the affairs of the Imperial Court as the Imperial History of the Three Grades.

And Zhu Tianfu is a third-class enchanted lieutenant with the rank of four-rank general, although he has no real position, but after all, he can be regarded as having a knighthood, and he is also given by the emperor, and his identity is enough to be on an equal footing with Li Hong, and a few are officials of the Ministry of Officials and Soldiers, Jinyi Guard, and generals of the Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion and the Forbidden Army.

As for Liu Changxu of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, as well as Qian Yi, Chu Xiong, Wu Fazheng, Zuo Sizhong and others are all behind the three seats......

At the beginning of the banquet, the atmosphere was still very harmonious, Xiao Chen came to the stage to give a thank-you speech, witty words, and humorous words caused bursts of laughter.

After coming down, he toasted from table to table, and everyone drank well, even Xu Haiming said a few good words, after all, it was Xiao Chen's birthday, no matter how bad his temperament was, it was not good for him to have a seizure on this occasion.

In fact, to put it mildly, Xiao Chen's opponent couldn't take his turn at all, he just fought a few fights with Xiao Chen.

But don't look at the adults who are like brothers and sisters to Xiao Chen on the surface, they seem to be affectionate, in fact, several of them are Xiao Chen's real rivals...... Not including Gong Shouli.

Maybe the wine is too good and the atmosphere is too warm, so the big guys are a little drunk unconsciously, and what they don't usually say is also said by drinking to cover their faces.

So much so that there was a dispute, and the face and neck were thick, and finally they quarreled.

Although all the officials present here are officials of the same dynasty, and they are all polite when they meet, calling them brothers and brothers, in fact, there are many contradictions in private......

The reason is to compose a poem, and I don't know who proposed that each person write a poem to celebrate Xiao's birthday, this is a fun thing, and the big guys have also responded to it, and it doesn't matter if it's good or bad, it's just that everyone drinks and wants to have a good time.

But after making a congratulatory poem for Xiao Chen, some people were still unsatisfied, and made a few poems to the people at the same table and the next table as jokes, which was not a good thing.

Jiang Kuan, a Langzhong of the Ministry of Officials, did not deal with Li Hong, raised his glass and said with a smile, "The big guys have all written poems, so I'll have a poem too, and I'll give this poem to Li Shilang!" It's a pure joke, Master Li Shilang has a lot of them, and he can hold the boat in his stomach, but don't worry about the little brother. ”

This is not good, because Li Hong is a big fat man with a big belly, and this Jiang Kuanlang said that he could support the boat in his belly, which was obviously mocking him.

And Li Hong hates people saying that he is fat, which is also a well-known thing, but Jiang Langzhong wants to say this in front of him, which can be seen on purpose.

"Oh? I didn't know that Master Chang could write poetry, so I had to listen to it. Li Hong's big fat face had already been pulled down, and he looked at Jiang Kuan with a smile, "If you do it as well as Lord Xiao, we will also use this poem to leave a reputation for eternity in the future." ”

"Hahaha, it's just a casual nonsense sentence with feelings, and it can't be compared with our world's most talented Lord Xiao." Jiang Kuan smiled, "I saw that Master Li came on a horse just now, right?" Fortunately, it is a horse, if you ride a donkey, I am afraid that the banquet here will be dispersed, and the adults have not yet arrived. ”

There is also an allusion to what he said.

Because the Great Zhou Dynasty has been fighting non-stop, so there is an extreme shortage of horses, Li Wanjiang also made a special decree for this this year, ordering officials below the fourth rank not to ride horses, only donkeys.

Li Hong is a three-grade squire, and he can ride a horse according to the regulations, but when he saw that many colleagues responded to the emperor's call to ride a donkey, he said that he could not lag behind, so he also found a donkey.

But he was burly and fat, and he rode a little donkey through the market, which was very funny.

And he was so busy with official business that he always had to inspect the construction sites outside the city, so that the little donkey was so overwhelmed that he foamed at the mouth and fell on the street, and he also fell on the street.

Many people witnessed this hilarious scene, which spread and became a joke.

Li Hong was embarrassed and annoyed, and from then on, he never rode a donkey again......

Everyone knows about him, but he just laughs behind his back, but he never brings it up to his face.

A few months have passed, and they have gradually faded into oblivion.

Jiang Kuan brought up the old matter in public, which was clearly deliberately trying to embarrass Li Hong!
