On May 4, 999, the imperial capital was in the east of the city, and the British Marquis' Mansion.

"Everyone, this is the young hero I often mention, Lei Dongfeng, the commander of the Kuanglan Legion, and Dongfeng entered the capital. He had no other intentions. He had made great contributions to the empire and had to be rewarded. He worked hard and had a few days to rest in the imperial capital. Today's banquet is the banquet I welcomed him." Zhao Huicheng stood up and said to everyone around him.

Although this banquet in the British Marquis' Mansion seemed to be held temporarily, many officials from the imperial capital came unexpectedly. Of course, such as Guan Bowen and Cao Ganlong's level did not come. Most of them were teachers from the Jiangshan 6th Army Higher Academy, as well as some middle and senior officers from the Imperial Flying Tiger Corps, Guard Corps, and Flying Dragon Corps. Most of these people were graduates from the Jiangshan 6th Army Higher Academy, and were considered to be the direct descendants of Zhao Huicheng.

At this moment, everyone looked at Lei Dongfeng with surprise and appreciation, but more envious.

If a young man in his early twenties is praised by the British Marquis Zhao Huicheng and spread to the outside, then this person will definitely be famous tomorrow.

Moreover, Zhao Huicheng's words just now directly affirmed everything Lei Dongfeng had done before, "If you have merit, you need to reward", two extremely direct concepts convey a firm signal to everyone - this is the person I, Zhao Huicheng, valued by me, if you want to touch him, please see my opinion first.

"The dean is very loving, and Dongfeng will never refuse to die." Lei Dongfeng, the protagonist in the matter, must stand up and express his gratitude, and bowed.

After saying that, Lei Dongfeng raised his wine glass and said, "Lei is just a soldier. He dare not say anything bold, but being on the front line is my best proof. This kind of thing cannot be pretended to be. You may be dissatisfied, but it can be seen that the thousands of troops were not afraid, and he would not be afraid of rumors. For our emperors, the battlefield is the best place to prove himself, so I hope you can all become my robes in the future and kill the enemy together. This is the duty of a soldier. It is also considered as living up to the love of the dean and the empire!"

After saying that, Lei Dongfeng drank it all in one sip. Although these words were straightforward, they were free and magnanimous.

Lei Dongfeng's slightly rough and straightforward style immediately added a lot of favor to the soldiers present, and everyone stood up to cheer for fun.

"This kid..." Zhao Huicheng smiled, his eyes full of admiration.

Jiang Zhuying glanced at Lei Dongfeng, but she knew that her elder brother must have done it on purpose. Tomorrow, those who secretly spy on it will definitely have rumors: "Lei Dongfeng is just a brave and unscrupulous man, so it is not worth worrying."

"Showing him to be weak will definitely have a bad intention." Lin Qingping shook his head and drank the wine in big mouthfuls, and told Zhao Huicheng.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, you've drunk too much." Zhao Huicheng smiled.

"Brother Feilan, you are too cautious." The old Taoist chuckled and fell drunk.

~~~~~~~~

"Have Lei Dongfeng really come to the imperial capital?" Guan Bowen, the minister of the Imperial Command Command, looked surprised.

"This kid is so brave. He left the army and ran to the imperial capital. What do he want to do? I think he should be ordered to be dismissed on the spot to avoid future troubles." Deputy Minister of the Military Department Tai Shizheng sneered.

"Non-no. Now the Kuanglan Army has been assigned to Feilan's men. If we ask, as long as Feilan says he summoned Lei Dongfeng, what can we do? It was clear at the beginning that everything in the Kuanglan Army was transferred to Feilan, and there was no need to follow our military route in an emergency." Guan Bowen said.

"I said that this condition was too cheap, but you don't believe it! Although Lei Dongfeng had no foundation, he was very lucky. And because he had no worries, his behavior often went beyond our expectations. It was the most unstable factor. You don't listen..." Tai Shi Zheng said dissatisfied, but his words were really insightful. If Lei Dongfeng was here, he would definitely not dare to underestimate him.

"What are you doing when saying this? Feilan is also a loyal minister of the empire. Don't say this. I don't want to interfere with your personal grievances, but I want to remind you not to bring your emotions into our affairs. You cannot take responsibility!" Guan Bowen said coldly.

"Since that's the case, I won't say anything anymore!" Tai Shi Zheng turned his head and turned away.

"Fei Lan, you and I have never given up on each other since childhood. Outsiders all say that you and I are brothers, but they don't know whether we are kind-hearted, are we harmonious? Do you really want to start interfering in this matter if you support Lei Dongfeng like this?" Guan Bowen thought for a moment, but his brows became deeper and deeper.

Linfengge Inn, West of the Imperial Capital.

The courtyard of Linfeng Pavilion three times is filled with inns, and a two-story building on the street is the only restaurant. In the restaurants and inns in the imperial capital, it is only considered medium and low-end, and the rooms are only thirty. However, this place is better than quiet, with few people coming and approaching the city gate, making it easy to enter and exit. Lei Dongfeng chose this place to settle down for these reasons.

But when Lei Dongfeng and others returned to the inn, the small inn is now in turmoil.

First, the shopkeeper came to the crowd and said that a certain senior official from the military department came to visit; then several national congressmen arrived uninvited, followed by some supervisors of the yamen and Tongji from this academy.

It was just afternoon now, and these people had only one target, that is Lei Dongfeng.

As soon as Lei Dongfeng entered the British Marquis' Mansion in the morning, news was conveyed there. Although no one could find out the content of their detailed conversation, at least the words of the British Marquis's words were brought out at the banquet.

These words enter the ears of some people, which are like thunder and bombs, which are warnings, declarations of war, and win over? Everyone has their own ideas, but the same point is that Lei Dongfeng was just a popular general in public opinion, but since he walked out of the gate of the British Marquis' Mansion, he must be a new star in the imperial political arena.

Therefore, there were those who responded quickly and were consciously standing in line with the British Hou. They hurriedly sent people to visit Lei Dongfeng.

As for why I know that Lei Dongfeng is in this inn, although the imperial capital is large, there are spies everywhere. Who among the officials of each family doesn’t have a few idle people who are dedicated to inquiries about the news?

What's more, the seven people in Lei Dongfeng's group were not among the people, and Xu Huanzong, an elder who was famous among the imperial officials and the people. It was not too difficult to find them in this country of millions.

It's strange that after returning to the country, Xu Huanzong could have drunk Lin Qingping to stay in Baiyun Taoist Temple. He could even go to any official residence, and it was too late for those officials to welcome him.

But Xu Huanzong insisted on being with Lin Qingping and staying with Lei Dongfeng, saying that if there is anything, it would be easy to take care of.

The direct consequence of this is that with large-scale "stars" like Xu Huanzong, it is easier for all walks of life to find Lei Dongfeng.

At this moment, Lei Dongfeng was talking to Zhuge Ting, the Imperial Officer and the Imperial Officer, the Inspector of the National Assembly, and the National Assembly member, but the others were handed over to Xu Huanzong. Anyway, Xu Huanzong is very popular in the imperial capital, and all the monsters and monsters outside have to give him some thin face, so it is most appropriate for him to come forward to take care of them.

Of course, Lei Dongfeng is also very good at being a human being, at least he is better at dealing with these things than the stubborn guy before. This time he came to the imperial capital, but there were only seven people, but he brought nearly twenty horses. In addition to the spare war horses, the ones transported were all kinds of antique calligraphy and painting seized in the war, and even tens of thousands of imperial gold coins.

As for the officials of all sizes and sizes who came to visit, Xu Huanzong gave different gifts according to his age and position, such as civil servants giving him a pair of calligraphy and paintings of famous painters; military generals gave him a good weapon, etc. In this way, although these officials did not see Lei Dongfeng, after walking out of the inn, they all praised the rising stars in the imperial political arena and praised him for his ability to be a human being.

This can also be regarded as a good foundation for the plan of "leveraging the power to fight against strength? Join other forces to let others stand out."

"If you don't return, you have hidden me so much. If I had known that you had a close relationship with Hou Ru in the UK, would I have to worry about you? This time you came, you didn't even tell me about Brother Wei, but it made Brother Wei very sad." Zhuge Ting pretended to complain.

"It's not brothers, but brother Zijie, but after you left, we decided on the matter of the imperial capital. I thought that if I chase you or visit you directly, there would be rumors. Brother Zijie's status is no more than others, but is the responsibility of supervision, so I did not notify you. As for the British Marquis, who always acted in a low-key manner, I didn't like me to be so arrogant everywhere, and I hope Brother Zijie will not be surprised." Lei Dongfeng smiled.

"I know this too. It's a pity that some officials are not willing to serve the country at the moment, but are still obsessed with slandering and plotting against loyalty and kindness. It's a shame for the empire! But brother, don't worry, if you need my help this time, I will do my best to not let the soldiers who are desperately fighting on the front line feel disappointed." Zhuge Ting said with a sigh.

"Well, Brother Zijie is like this. Dongfeng thanked Kuanglan Army. But I really want to consult my elder brother. Do you know that the threshold of this military department is opening there?" Lei Dongfeng smiled.

"Oh, what I meant is that I wanted to show kindness to the military headquarters? No, you are asking which department the military headquarters has a good relationship with and which department they have had a holiday with." Zhuge Ting pondered for a moment and said with a smile.

"Brother Zijie is transparent." Lei Dongfeng presented a high hat.

"Well, this is a long story. Taizu banned all government offices and changed them to various departments on the same day. The departments and departments were independent, but they also clamped each other. If they sent troops together, the military department and the National Assembly must have a joint document. Over time, the military department and the National Assembly often have disputes over the issue of sending troops. For example, officials appoint and dismissal, they must first report to the Ministry of Justice for filing, and then the State Privy Council's plan to be approved. If an official is an official in the military system, the military department must also be approved. In this way, if you want to promote it, then the other side will be promoted.

To stop, there are those who need to be used more, but there is a stumble here. Do you think it is not a mess? Of course, the position of the supervisory envoy is actually to patrol and avoid such personal gain. Unfortunately, the manpower is limited after all... But when it comes to the military headquarters, it has changed its past in recent years and is quite close to the National Assembly, but it has a lot of friction with the Department of Official Affairs. However, the Secretary for Official Affairs, Lord Tian Songren, is in good condition and has not fallen behind..." Zhuge Ting really came one by one.

Lei Dongfeng was also very interesting to hear. As a foreign official, he had no way to understand these things, especially his former position. Now, Zhuge Ting, who was a prosperous person in the imperial capital, gave him no reservations to explain them, which solved many of his questions.

"Thank you so hard for me!" At this moment, Lei Dongfeng was sincerely grateful to Zhuge Ting, and Zhuge Ting's impression in his mind became better and better.
