In the past, Houdi rarely went to court in Xia, and basically did not participate. He only went to court when he was called or had something to do. But once she went to court, she had a special feature: she was the only one who could "walk the sword on the palace".

This period of time is quite special. As the most representative military representative of the imperial court, can it be regarded as a "general"? In the case that the emperor couldn't care about the matter, she could only participate in the affairs of the political affairs hall every day.

It was boring a few days ago, and the focus was on partisanship. Even the election of a person to replace Governor Huang, who is ill in Yizhou, has not been elected until now. Xia Houdi is extremely disappointed and has long been suffocated. That day, I was so tired that I was leaning on Xue Mu's shoulders, and the exhaustion of this struggle also accounted for a large proportion.

It was only yesterday that Xiahoudi's eyes were brightened, and that was Xue Mu's proposal to use new materials to pave the road or set up tracks. Li Yingqing said that Shenjimen was confident that it would develop low-cost paving materials, and suggested that the Zhengshitang study the implementation plan and set a pilot.

Because Li Yingqing pushed for this matter, and Xue Mu mentioned the matter, Li Gonggong strongly supported it. In addition, Su Duancheng believed that this was a good thing. Under the consensus of the three parties, it became the first practice in these days. Discuss, and see the discussion taking shape. Xiahoudi was not expert in this, and did not speak, but when listening to people discussing, he was in a good mood. The only one who loses their appetite is that the members of the Yiwang Party are chattering and stubbornly opposing. She has endured it for a long time.

Today, when Li Gonggong presided over the meeting, he showed the emperor's edict, saying that the Zhengshitang should discuss merits with Xue Mu. This edict made Xiahoudi surprised and delighted. She didn't know that she had mentioned it to Ji Qingyuan several times before, but Ji Qingyuan always ignored it. How did she get the hang of it this time?

You must know that Xue Mu's previous work is not only Xue Mu's own, but also represents the credit and face of the six doors. Even if Xue Mu and her are not ambiguous, they have to fight for their subordinates as qualified leaders.

Just as she was about to express her agreement with her hands, the disharmonious voice came out first: "Xue Mu provoked the incident and trapped the court, which eventually led to the assassination of Governor Huang. The crime has not been asked, how can we discuss merit?"

Li Gonggong said in a gloomy voice: "Your Majesty's decree is to discuss merits. You insist on discussing sin. Do you think the righteous king's likes and evils are more important than your majesty's will?"

The man did not dare to carry the pot, so he had to say: "Xue Mu is the lord of the city and ignores politics all day, and the evaluation is also inferior. That is to say, he went to Luzhou to do something with a head catcher, and the benefit was Wugui Temple. With Xingyue Sect, what kind of work..."

Xiahoudi's face was overcast to the bottom.

Li Gonggong glanced at Xiahoudi’s expression with a funny heart. He deliberately said: "Xue Mu always used the six-door gold medal catcher to act in Luzhou, and he always represented six doors. The people of Luzhou still praised him. The special envoy of six doors, not the praise of Xingyuezong, Qian Shilang has to figure it out."

That humanity said: "That is the internal task of the six doors. What kind of merit is it that I will not be promoted internally, so I will still discuss it?"

Xiahoudi was furious, and directly drew his sword on the case table, and pointed out: "Xue Mu's work is not only a task of discussing martial arts, but also on behalf of the court to rescue the people of a state from hanging upside down. This is six doors. The merits of the world! Who dares to say that the merits of my six doors are not merits, stand up and let me see what you have achieved in the world, and dare to speak up here!"

Several people's faces were green, and Su Duancheng hurriedly persuaded him: "Please calm down Xiahou's anger, please calm down if you have something to say."

Xiahoudi did not stop doing two things, and loudly vented the grievances accumulated for many days: "Xiahou thought that he had no access to political affairs, and expected a group of important officials to have political opinions. However, after discussing politics for many days, he saw the struggle for power and profit bustling endlessly. There is really no way! On the contrary, it is the six-door catching heads that you have said to be useless, thinking about opening the way for the people, considering the power of vehicles and ships, you and other important ministers of the country, are in vain of the ruler's wealth, and enjoy the people's anointing. Would you rather be ashamed? You see, you don’t need any other merits, Xue Mu Gonghou has done it all!"

This time even Su Duancheng’s face was green. It was because he scolded him together... But in the face of the furious Xia Houdi, he didn’t want to argue about the irresponsible question of "Why fight first?" Avoiding the weight and saying lightly: "Xue Mu's argument is indeed meritorious to the community, but...hehe, but the prince can be impulsive, always catch his head and calm down."

Xiahoudi didn't buy it: "What impulse? The eight sects of the right way can be sealed, but the Xingyue sect can't be sealed? Lin Wuya, who doesn't ask anything, can ask Jianhou, but Xue Mu, who is so accomplished, can't do it? One reason!"

Su Duancheng can only explain: "The imperial court has its own regulations, and the head catcher can't be promoted directly to the jade medal just because someone in the six doors has done a great job? Isn't it? Can’t prove.”

Xiahoudi said: "That's good, let's accumulate your work. Xue Mu offered a rookie score. The benefits of the court's control of the rivers and lakes are obvious. Is it time to be promoted? On the way to Luzhou, there are countless martial artists rescued from the hands of the magic door. Uncle, right? To solve the Luzhou pandemic, it's time to seal the marquis? As for the daily newspapers to increase fiscal revenue, rails provide advice, and make transportation convenient. That's it."

A group of important ministers couldn't bear to look straight and turned their heads. This time I could see that Xiahoudi had calmed down. This is a matter of choice. Of course she knows that it is not so...

Li Gonggong smiled and said, "Some merits can be promoted, and some merits can be rewarded. This is not the case."

In fact, you don’t even need a reward for some achievements, just praise it... And there are many titles, even if you want to add a title, you are from third to second class. How can there be such a good promotion from man to son, son to uncle? Isn't it a king?

Of course, no one would explain these issues to the madman who was drawing the sword at this time. Following the words of Grandpa Li, he would be able to give some rewards to dismiss him. Immediately someone responded: "What Li Gonggong said is not bad, you can give more money and land, and give real jobs within the six doors, and you will get a grade..."

Someone immediately said: "Don't give real jobs!"

This is a risk, and fighting hard will not allow Xue Mu to have more capital to make trouble. In fact, this is a public heart...

Xiahoudi squinted over and was about to swear, Li Gonggong said directly: "If you don't give a real job, then you can add more discounts to the virtual title, otherwise you can't explain it."

Xiahoudi was stunned, and suddenly felt that it was quite good. If Xue Muzhen were to mention something in the six doors, Xue Mu would just leave it alone. She also had a headache, so he joked before and asked him to wash his clothes. Since Grandpa Li proposed to fold the Xu Jue, it was more to her wishes.

After thinking about this, he didn't say anything, just thinking about some way to make Xue Mu more profit.

I didn't think of it for a while, so I heard Li Yingqing say: "Since this is the case, now planning to pave the way and set up tracks is just the time to spend money, so don't reward it. It is all turned into a virtual title. Xue Mu has no actual job, no longer a title. What's the use of being tall? It's also good for the ambitions of the country."

Many people say this is embarrassing and violent, as long as they don't give real positions, no matter how high they are, they can't make waves.

Xiahoudi also sighed secretly. She knew that Li Yingqing was helping Xue Mu. Some people might think that the fake account was useless, but she knew that if she asked Xue Mu himself, she would definitely not want the reward in front of her. significance.

Li Gonggong smiled and said: "According to our family's opinion, Xue Mu has a very good job, and he can be sealed as a third-class prince, but no food is added."

No food is added, that is, the welfare benefits are not changed at all. The real vain jue only has a good name. Xiahoudi didn't know that this was useful or not for Xue Mu, but he also knew that this was the limit, so he didn't argue, and sat back to his position and put the knife in the sheath.

Seeing the evil star finally sat down, many people sighed in cold sweat, as if they had won the battle. I completely forgot that Xue Mu had the most number of people, and he didn't even know him, but he became a marquis...

Su Duan has some opinions about the cost, but Xiahoudi's attitude, he really doesn't want to be wordy, just calm it down.

Li Gonggong said again: "Your Majesty's intention is that the Phoenix title was too rash before, so let the Ministry of Rites discuss what title should be changed."

I am afraid that no one in the world cares about this kind of trivial matter except Xue Mu himself. The Shangshu Book of the Ministry of Etiquette didn’t even bother to read the ritual system, and directly asked Xia Houdi: “According to the general arrest, what kind of morals does Xue Houye have?”

Xiahoudi hesitated for a long time, seeming to think that Xue Mu really has no conspicuous character, his view of benevolence and justice is a bit fascinating, and lustful...

Hmm... It seems that Xue Mu has no record of words and faith? Xiahoudi was a little uncertain, hesitated and said, "Honesty is acceptable..."

I suddenly became amused. I like him, but I can't even explain his good points. The word of love is really unreasonable.

Shang Shu of the Ministry of Etiquette waved his hand: "Then...how about Chang Xinhou?"

Xiahoudi has no opinion, it's good...

After the meeting, Xue Mu, who had received a report from Li Gonggong happily, heard that the melons in the hands of the nobleman had fallen, and he was stunned.

Who is Chang Xinhou?

The filthy lady, the lady who can use that thing to top the wheel!
