Three days later, Xie Beixiao officially took over General Tan's position as general in the Longwu Army and became the deputy of the general of the Longwu Army.
Early in the morning, in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Jiang Yueyang saw Xie Beixiao standing in the aisle and greeting people.
He had a tall and straight figure, broad shoulders and a narrow waist. The lines of his profile were as sharp as if carved by a knife, and he looked very heroic.
Every official who passed by him cast an approving look at him, congratulated him on becoming a general, and praised him for his promising youth.
He never tires of returning the gifts and expressing his gratitude one by one.
Jiang Yueyang's gaze lingered on him for a moment, then she retracted her gaze and walked to her seat and sat down.
After all the civil and military officials arrived one after another, Emperor Yuan also arrived with his men on time.
After Emperor Yuan took his seat, the atmosphere in the hall became solemn.
His gaze swept across everyone in the hall and finally landed on Xie Beixiao, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
"Bei Xiao." Emperor Yuan called.
Xie Beixiao stood up and stepped out of the line, "I am here."
"Say hello to everyone."
Xie Beixiao is not at home all year round, and not many people know him.
It was only in these few days that I heard that Xie Xu's youngest son returned home, and as soon as he came back, he was highly valued by His Majesty and directly replaced General Tan.
Those who originally had hopes of succeeding General Tan were somewhat dissatisfied with this, because Xie Beixiao had never had any military merits before.
Xie Beixiao turned around, clasped his fists and said loudly, "My lords, Beixiao is new here. I hope you can take care of me in the future."
He looked neither humble nor arrogant, and glanced at everyone calmly.
At this time, a general said in a sarcastic tone: "General Xie, you are so young and yet you have taken on such an important task. I just don't know that the Longwu Army is an elite force that defends the country. How can you convince the people without military merit?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense.
Xie Beixiao raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and looked at the general calmly, "Your Excellency is right. Without military merit, it is indeed difficult to convince the people.
Although Bei Xiao did not have any great achievements on the battlefield, he was not without ability. Over the years, Bei Xiao followed his mentor to learn martial arts, studied military tactics, and studied the methods of deploying troops day and night, and had made some progress.
The Longwu Army has a heavy responsibility to defend the country. Bei Xiao will definitely contribute to Daxia with what he has learned.
If you think Bei Xiao is not capable enough, you might as well give Bei Xiao a chance. It won’t be too late to judge him after he has made military achievements.”
"How can we seal it first..."
"I heard that not all military positions are based on military merit." Xie Beixiao interrupted the general calmly, "There are also many who have distinguished themselves in the army by relying on their own talents and strategies."
"Bei Xiao's martial arts are pretty good. If anyone thinks that Bei Xiao is not qualified to be the general of the Longwu Army, you are welcome to fight.
If Bei Xiao loses the battle, he will voluntarily resign as the general of the Longwu Army." Xie Bei Xiao continued.
Many generals witnessed the duel between Xie Beixiao and Suolang Doji, and they couldn't help but show fear.
They were just dissatisfied with the fact that Xie Beixiao was in a high position right after he arrived, not that they questioned his ability.
Seeing this, Emperor Yuan said in a cold voice: "I know Bei Xiao's talent very well, so there is no need for you to say more."
After hearing this, the general had to retreat in disappointment.
Afterwards, today's morning court officially began, and civil and military officials took turns reporting the affairs of their departments to Emperor Yuan.
The Minister of Rites said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother's birthday will be in a few days, and she wants to celebrate it in a grand manner.
The Ministry of Rites has followed the Empress Dowager's order and started to prepare for the birthday banquet, but the cost is quite high, so I hope Your Majesty will make the final decision."
Just as Emperor Yuan was about to speak, Imperial Censor Wei stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, there have been constant wars recently, so the Queen Mother's birthday banquet should be kept simple."
"I second the motion!"
"I second the motion!"
Almost all the civil and military officials stood up and said that the war between Daxia and Eastern Turks was not over yet, and it was not appropriate to have an extravagant birthday banquet for the Queen Mother, and it would be best not to hold it.
Emperor Yuan also knew at this time that he could not hold a grand ceremony, but since the incident with Prince Rong, the relationship between him and the Empress Dowager had become increasingly tense.
In the past, the mother and son could sit together to eat.
Now, when he went to Shoukang Palace to visit the Empress Dowager, he was turned away eight out of ten times.
If the Empress Dowager is not allowed to hold a birthday banquet, the relationship between mother and son will probably be completely broken.
Emperor Yuan was caught in a dilemma and could not make a decision for a while. He could only tell all the officials to let him think about the birthday banquet again.
Jiang Yueyang shook his head and sighed when he saw this, [Your Majesty, it is really not easy to be an emperor! ]
[Who says it's not true? However, I think the person who is having a harder time right now is Ke Ming, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice.]
[Hmm?] Jiang Yueyang raised her eyebrows slightly, [Why is it not easy for Master Ke?]
As soon as Ke Ming heard his name, he knew that Jiang Yueyang and the others were going to eat his melon, and he couldn't help but muttered quietly: "This day has finally come."
The Ministry of Justice is the only department whose staff has never been involved in gossip since Jiang Yueyang came to power. Everyone is very curious about what kind of gossip Ke Ming will contribute to them.
Xie Beixiao raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Jiang Yueyang who was sitting behind him.
Is this what my father is thinking?
The system laughed and said: [Ke Ming is wearing a pair of red shorts. ]
Jiang Yueyang: [……]
Emperor Yuan & civil and military officials: "..."
Ke Ming covered his face secretly, feeling really embarrassed.
Jiang Yueyang asked speechlessly: [Is there anything special about those red shorts? ]
[Ever since she asked a wandering Taoist priest for a magic potion to wake up the injured and unconscious Ke Ming, Ke Ming's mother has become very superstitious.
Some time ago, Ke Ming was injured while handling a case. The wound did not heal for a long time, so Ke Ming's mother went to ask the wandering Taoist priest.
The wandering Taoist priest said that Ke Ming had killed many evil people and had been going to murder scenes all day long, so he was infected with evil spirits. He needed to wear red shorts to suppress the evil spirits in his body so that everything would go smoothly and he would be safe. Moreover, he had to wear a pair of red shorts for 21 consecutive days.
