Chen Xi was curious at first about what was going on. Why did Wu'an Jun, who had lived in Weiyang Palace for many years and had been eating and drinking for free, move to Changle Palace? He even asked Si Niang about this specifically, thinking that Si Niang had teamed up with Huaiyin Hou to bully the old man from the pre-Qin period.

Si Niang didn't dare to bully Wu'an Jun alone, but if she was accompanied by Huaiyin Hou, she would really dare to do such a thing. So when she heard the rumor in the palace that Wu'an Jun had encountered a ghost, Chen Xi thought that this story was too outrageous and it was the typical story that could not be made up. So when he got off work early one day, he went to Weiyang Palace to say hello.

Si Niang said that it was the Marquis of Huaiyin who bullied Wu'an Jun and she did not participate. Then one day Wu'an Jun said that ghosts and gods came to his house and he wanted to open the eyes of the ghosts and gods, so he took up his sword and left.

When Chen Xi heard this, he felt that the situation was not good. After all, the only ghost or god that Chen Xi could think of who dared to kick Wu'an Jun's door was one of his ancestors. If it was any other creature, let alone kicking Wu'an Jun's door, it would have taken a detour if it had sensed the aura from dozens of miles away.

So Chen Xi secretly took the gifts and went to Yongchang Hall of Changle Palace where Wu'an Jun was. On the one hand, he wanted to give Wu'an Jun some food and drinks to prevent him from getting too angry. On the other hand, he also wanted to visit his ancestor and try to stop them from fighting. After all, if the two really started fighting, Chen Xi was afraid something would happen.

Then when he got there, he saw Wu'an Jun playing chess with ghosts and gods with a gloomy face. To be honest, Chen Xi couldn't understand how his ancestor sneaked all the way to Chang'an and kicked Wu'an Jun's door so accurately.

But since he had seen it, Chen Xi could only bite the bullet and pour wine for the two of them, serve them sliced ​​braised beef, and after bowing twice, he left in a mellow manner. What the hell, this is not something I, Chen Xi, am qualified to watch. Whoever loses the fight will be in trouble, so just get out of here.

Before leaving, Chen Xi had the doors of Yongchang Palace sealed. It was a real fight between gods. It's better not to watch. Military strategists are short-sighted and whoever loses will be in trouble - if I can't beat Bai Qi/Sun Wu, I can't beat you either. What are you looking at? Get out!

"In short, keep your distance. No one should go to Changle Palace recently. Just have someone deliver three meals a day, and don't go there." Chen Xi warned the brothers in the Executive Yuan who were also talking about this matter with a sigh. Stay away, the farther the better, it's really a fight between gods!

Liu Tong is also a shrewd man. When Wu'an Jun was missing for three or four days, Liu Tong did not realize it. But after a long time, when Liu Tong learned from Han Xin about the ghost story, he moved all the female officials and attendants out of Changle Palace. Liu Tong did not plan to go to such a large Changle Palace in the next few months. Anyway, meetings can be held in Wanxiang Palace. There are five large palace complexes in our palace. Even if one is missing, there are still four gardens for rowing, military training and horse racing.

"I really encountered a ghost!" Man Chong had an expression of disbelief on his face, "What kind of ghost can kick Wu Anjun's door? What level does it have to be?"

"What other level could it be? Wu'an Jun level. The last time Huang Tao went to Yunmengze and delivered a letter back, I thought something big was going to happen. This is really a big thing." Li You said helplessly. If it was Wu Zixu, it would be nothing for Bai Qi to be so arrogant. After all, Wu Zixu was just a quasi-god and could not surpass Bai Qi's level. But now that the opponent dared to kick the door, who else could it be? Chen Xi's ancestor.

"So everyone stay away. If anyone loses, it will be troublesome if the blood splashes on us." Chen Xi looked helpless, and then changed the subject. Chen Xi looked at everyone with a sharp look and asked, "By the way, I don't know which ghost it is. Do you know?"

"I don't know, I don't know. There are no rumors recently." Mi Zhu walked out in a hurry. With my small body, am I qualified to listen to such things?

"Don't believe in rumors or spread them. How could Wu Anjun have his door kicked in? Of course he is in seclusion to practice." Fa Zhengyi said righteously, "I think after he comes out of seclusion, he will be able to make further progress."

"Very good. Just for this attitude, I'll ask the kitchen to add a set of late emperor's wraps tonight. Okay, I'll go back first. When General Huangfu arrives, remember to notify me to greet him." Chen Xi was very satisfied when he saw the group of senior bureaucrats present who hurriedly gave correct answers. He decisively gave them extra meals. As a big boss who was in charge of money and logistics, one of the most advanced operations he could do was to add extra meals!
"We have the pancakes. I want to eat boiled steamed buns. I don't have high requirements. Just have one like the one you gave me last time. It doesn't matter whether it's a rolled pancake or not. I want boiled steamed buns!" Fa Zheng put forward his opinion.

"It can't be done. The princess and Concubine Xian don't want to eat stewed meat today, unless you accept freshly cooked meat." Chen Xi said calmly. If you don't cook beef soup with bones for a whole day, how can the soup be fresh and the meat be tender?

To be honest, these things were in reserve during the reign of Emperor Ling. After Chen Xi took over, they were changed to a shift system, which reduced a lot of unnecessary waste. Although Chen Xi's operation was much bigger than that of Emperor Ling in terms of scale and investment cost, Emperor Ling's way of doing things resulted in too much ineffective investment, and was far behind Chen Xi in terms of refinement and institutionalization.

In general, Chen Xi's current solution is the best one after comprehensive consideration of cost performance. If we really calculate the cost, it is not much higher than that of Emperor Ling. But how many people did Emperor Ling support at that time? What was the quality of the court officials' lunch? At this time, Chen Xi supports how many people and what is the quality of the court officials.

"Forget about making it now, just eat the burrito." Fa Zheng decisively rejected Chen Xi's suggestion. If it is made now, the flavorful ones will not taste good, and the tasteless ones will not be flavorful. Twenty years ago, Fa Zheng would not mind at all, but now, do you know what the level of a marquis is!

Well, it’s simply because I was spoiled by Chen Xi. I’m used to eating good food, so I can naturally taste good from bad.

"I'll withdraw first. I shouldn't have anything to do in the near future. If you have any problems, find Kong Ming. Kong Ming can do anything now." Chen Xi stood up and greeted the people around him.

For Chen Xi at the end of the year, apart from Huangfu Song's victorious return and the grand martial arts performance, other things were basically nothing.

However, when Huangfu Song returned, the princess had to go out of the city thirty miles to greet him to show respect for the old general. By the way, Huangfu Song had not returned yet, but the battle report had been delivered, the Zongzheng had gone through the procedures, and the Taichang had also done the so-called divination and prayer, and then it was reviewed by Chen Xi.

The next thing Chen Xi had to do was to pass by Liu Tong when he got off work and give this thing to Liu Tong, completing the so-called policy-making. Then Liu Tong would be in charge of the emperor's affairs, conduct a more detailed review of the policy, and issue an order to make a choice, and then transfer it to Li You.

The imperial edict was printed and issued by the Lantai Lingshi, and a ceremony was held during the grand court meeting to read it out and announce it, thus completing the enthronement.

That’s right, after going around in circles, Huangfu Song was once again promoted to county marquis.

Speaking of the matter itself, Huangfu Song also found it quite boring, but after all, this was still a county marquis. Moreover, compared with those previous county marquis titles that were somewhat unjustified by those who had blackmailed the emperor to give up their titles and took advantage of the country's crisis, Huangfu Song's title this time was truly a county marquis who had truly followed every step of the process and was recognized by everyone.

By the way, this is also one of the important reasons why Li You has great power, because all the high-ranking officials and two thousand stone officials need to go through Li You's side for appointment. The imperial edicts are made by Li You, and the talismans and seals are also made by Li You.

Furthermore, Li You has the power to seal and return the imperial edict after review. Although Li You has never used this power, there is a big difference between having it and not having it. Moreover, the efficiency of making these things depends on Li You's mood. Even if Li You has not deliberately blocked it, the last step depends entirely on the censor. If Li You really insists on resisting, even Chen Xi will have a headache.

This is also the reason why Li You can barely suppress the bureaucrats from the aristocratic families, and why Li You can clearly feel how high the proportion of aristocratic families is in the Han Dynasty. It is also the reason why Li You, the rebel, will finally join forces with Liu Ye.

After all, no matter how different their positions are, they are completely overlapping when it comes to suppressing the Han family. It is only by relying on the cooperation between the two inside and outside that Chen Xi saves a lot of effort.

"I'll send someone to inform you when Huangfu Yizhen arrives, but judging from the weather, he probably won't be able to arrive today. That guy wouldn't do such a disgusting thing. At this point, he would rather delay a little and arrive tomorrow." Li You said casually.

"Anyway, the notice has arrived. I'll go and hand in the memorial." Chen Xi took out several prepared official documents, shook them at a few people, and left quickly.

"General Huangfu was still canonized as Marquis of Huaili?" After Chen Xi left, Zhuge Liang frowned slightly and looked at Li You and said, "If so, is it worse than before?"

"Just urging some people." Li You knew very well what Zhuge Liang was asking.

After hearing this, Zhuge Liang said no more. Since Li You chose to handle it this way, Zhuge Liang gave up the idea of ​​intervening. When Huangfu Song was the Marquis of Huaili, he was in charge of Huaili and Meiyang counties. Now Meiyang County is theoretically still under the name of a certain Marquis of Meiyang. Considering that the Tangmu County of Princess Wannian is in conflict with a certain Marquis of Wannian, there is no need to say anything else if he adds the Marquis of Huaili.

"Huangfu Yizhen doesn't care about these things. He supports a certain family in Central Asia. For him, the title of county marquis is more about resources. With his status, he doesn't need to care about the domestic output." Jia Xu said calmly, "Zichuan can only give more than the former Huaili Marquis, and the future of the Huangfu family will only be more glorious."

Although Huangfu Song has no ambitions, he still has to consider his useless son and nephew. When he is around, everything will be fine. But when he is gone, it will be a question of how long Huangfu Song's favor can be used, so he should make plans in advance.

Chen Xi didn't know that Li You had other reasons for proposing the title of Marquis of Huaili, or even if Chen Xi knew, he didn't really care.

Chen Xi took a shortcut, not caring at all that he was stepping on a real royal garden. If it were anyone else, he would at least be fined. He went almost straight all the way to the back hall of the Weiyang Palace, and then the guards on duty said that the princess had taken her people to Shanglin Garden for training.

Hearing this, Chen Xi wanted to run away, but considering that Huangfu Song would be back the day after tomorrow at the latest, the promotion process must be completed before Huangfu Song came back, otherwise it would be somewhat disrespectful to the old general, so he gritted his teeth and walked into Shanglin Garden along the route indicated by the palace guards.

Fortunately, I met Bole Ma on the road...

"Di Lu, give me a ride." Chen Xi looked at the Di Lu horse in silk clothes in front of him and called out from afar. Then Di Lu turned his head and looked at Chen Xi with his smart eyes, then stopped where he was, waiting for Chen Xi to come over and waiting to negotiate terms with Chen Xi.

There is no way. This horse has become completely intelligent. If absorbing the wisdom leaked by Bole has made the horse's IQ reach the level of an adolescent boy, then after subsequently absorbing the wisdom of Perennis, the horse's intelligence is no less than that of a young person.

"Take me to the princess and I will treat you to some mushrooms." Chen Xi saw Diluma stop and began to make a wish for Diluma. Chen Xi no longer regarded Diluma as an ordinary animal, but as a person with a strange appearance, because Diluma could really communicate with people.

By the way, Diluma is now a bureaucrat, serving as the chief horse officer of the family, and his main job is to raise horses. Considering the output, if Diluma were an individual, it would only be a matter of time for him to get a salary of two thousand stones.

"Poisonous." The Delum horse puffed up the air and made a sound. Chen Xi was silent for a while. It had only been a year since he last saw it, but this horse could already speak. Its evolution was too fast. Perennis, you are indeed guilty of a heinous crime!
"You can speak, so just tell me your request." Chen Xi was shocked by the fact that Diluma could speak, and spoke after a while.

"I don't want to be the head of Ma Lingcheng anymore. I want to be the owner of Shandan Military Horse Farm." There was even a hint of anger on Diluma's face, as if he was complaining.

"What's going on? Who offended you?" Chen Xi was a little confused.

"The owner of the field has two thousand stones, and this requires an exam." Although Chen Xi was confused by Di Lu, he still reacted quickly and responded to Di Lu's proposal.

"Exam? How do I take the exam? I want to sign up!" Di Lu looked angrily as if he must become an official, but he did not explain to Chen Xi why.

"Okay, I'll sign you up, and you can just take the exam when the time comes." Chen Xi thought about it and felt that if Diluma could pass the exam, there would be no problem in letting it become the owner of the Shandan Military Horse Farm, as it would just free up a professional.

"Okay, sign up for me, get on board, and I'll take you to the princess. But I can only put you on the periphery. Empress Xian forbids me to be within one kilometer of her." Di Lu accepted the condition and motioned for Chen Xi to get on the horse and take him there himself.

"You haven't reconciled yet?" Chen Xi said speechlessly while sitting on the horse's back. The feud between Si Niang and Di Luma has been going on for more than four years, but they haven't reconciled yet. I remember when the feud was at its worst, Si Niang even claimed that she would cook Di Luma in a pot.

Later it was confirmed that Deluma was an intelligent creature. Si Niang said that God was merciful and that she would not eat intelligent creatures, but Deluma must not appear in the place where she appeared. As a result, it has been four years, and Deluma still cannot get within one kilometer of Si Niang.

"That's what narrow-minded people are like." Di Lu said in a muffled voice, and then as soon as he finished speaking, Si Niang punched Di Luma in the eye.

"I'll tell you not to talk about me behind my back!" Si Niang's voice came from afar.

"Oh my go, Si Niang, pull me over." Chen Xi spoke quickly when he heard Si Niang's voice. Although he didn't know the principle, Chen Xi had seen Si Niang's magical powers too many times. Faced with this situation, he tried to greet her before the voice was cut off.

"Oh oh oh, Lord Chen, I'll pull you over here." Si Niang heard Chen Xi's voice, and the words that were about to fade away became solid again. After giving Diluma another punch, Chen Xi felt that the surroundings turned into flowing light. Before he could see clearly, Chen Xi had been dragged by Si Niang to appear next to Liu Tong.

At the same time, Di Luma's voice came over, "Lord Chen, remember to register for me. Remember to notify me when the exam is!"

"Hey, what's going on? How did you get here just like that?" After Si Niang let go of his hand, Chen Xi found that he had arrived at the location. He looked around and saw the Lan Chi Palace not far away. He couldn't help but be silent for a moment. This moment dragged him for more than ten miles, right? And Si Niang, you just attacked Lu from more than ten miles away, right!

"I'm awesome, right?" Si Niang put one hand on her waist, puffed out her chest, and looked very proud.

"It's really amazing." Chen Xi couldn't help but look around with some emotion, and found that his bodyguard Han Qiong was missing. It seems that Si Niang has upgraded too fast recently. She was able to cross more than ten miles and kidnap herself in front of Han Qiong, a powerful warrior who practiced both immortal and martial arts. Isn't this progress too great?

"Hehehe, I've learned some new tricks recently. I'll show them to you later." Si Niang said excitedly. Although her actual combat ability was very poor and she might not be able to beat those middle-aged guards who were being trained by Liu Tong and Huaiyin Hou, her functionality was fully utilized.

"Lord Chen, it's rare that you come here on official business." When Liu Tong saw Si Niang preparing to demonstrate some new skills to Chen Xi, he turned his head and teased Chen Xi.

After all, Liu Tong had already experienced the new skills that Si Niang had mastered in advance, and felt that they were somewhat weird. Moreover, because of the coordinate problem, if Si Niang made a mistake, she would take him directly back to the bed. Although he had no aversion to Chen Xi, if Si Niang made a mistake and brought Chen Xi back to her bedroom, Liu Tong also felt that rumors outside the court would be flying all over the place, so it was better not to let Si Niang demonstrate.

"The summary of the second five-year plan, the framework of the third five-year plan, and the title conferment to General Huangfu all need to be reviewed by Your Highness." Chen Xi handed the three documents to Liu Tong.

"They are all serious matters." Liu Tong took the three official documents without opening them. Except for Huangfu Song's granting of title, which he only needed to glance at and stamp directly, Liu Tong had to spend a lot of time reading the others carefully. No matter whether it was the summary of the second five-year plan or the framework of the third five-year plan, for Liu Tong, they were important ways to deepen his understanding of the country.

"Generally speaking, Marquis Chen won't come unless there's something important to do, right?" Marquis Huaiyin said with a sly smile, "Of course, if the princess gets some weird food, Marquis Chen will show up."

"It's rare that you have put yourself together." Chen Xi said to Han Xin with a dry laugh.

"After all, Lao Bai's door is blocked. If I go to watch alone, I'm afraid of being laughed at by those two. So of course I have to hurry up and finish it." Han Xin said with a bit of arrogance. To be honest, only Han Xin would be so arrogant. Anyway, the other people present didn't want to know anything about this kind of thing.

"So you were able to put it together in a short time, then what were you doing in the past few years?" Chen Xi asked speechlessly.

"I helped to piece it together, not him." Si Niang said proudly, "Not long after Wu Anjun encountered the ghost, he asked me to help piece it together. Then I had a flash of inspiration and pieced it together. It was very simple!"

Simple as shit, Han Xin cursed angrily. He realized that there was something wrong with Si Niang a long time ago, but the fact that she was so problematic that she could use the power of time to restore herself directly was still beyond Han Xin's cognition. This was a crack caused by a punishment from heaven, but Si Niang solved it with a flash of inspiration.

"It's all Empress Xian's hard work. This time Empress Xian performed very well." Han Xin flattered without any bottom line, but this time it was indeed Si Niang's effort.

"Although I don't really want to know what happened, but how long do you think the door will be blocked?" Chen Xi asked tentatively.

"I can't tell." Han Xin spread his hands. "The map and time are both one to one. I think it will take at least a year. And even if it takes a year, it's hard to tell who's winning. I think they're just wasting their time. Don't you agree?"

Chen Xi said, "I won't comment, I'm not you, I only have respect for those two."

"Your Highness, you have also received the rules for the Grand Martial Arts Competition, right?" Chen Xi asked with some curiosity, "Han Mou and I have formed a team, what about you?"

"I'm training." Liu Tong crossed his arms, trying to support himself, and then placed them across his chest. "I've made great progress. It shouldn't be a problem to get a place."

Outside the Lan Chi Palace, Ji Xuan and Zhang Wang were training desperately. In the cold wind of deep winter, the two men, wearing only thin linen clothes, exuded rolling heat.

"Marquis Huaiyin, please give your evaluation." Among the six or seven people present, Chen Xi could only recognize Ji Xuan and Zhang Wang. There was no other way, as these two often guarded the gate of Weiyang Palace. Chen Xi and these two saw them every day. They were all outstanding veterans of the Han Dynasty. They had accumulated merits in the battlefield of the Ganges and had become the seventh-level fifth-layer elite. As for the other four or five, Chen Xi recalled and had never seen them.

"They are excellent. Each of them has the awareness of active training. They even drain every bit of their physical strength during the training process, relying on their will to break their own limits and move forward repeatedly. These soldiers are not simple." Han Xin spoke highly of the veterans selected by Liu Tong.

I just lie down and can't get up all day.
