Chapter 67 The British Duke (please read and recommend)
  Zhao Zhen seemed to have experience in facing these,
  He watched quietly from the dragon chair, and waited until those people stopped noisily and then said:

"Okay, since there is no consensus today, let's discuss it tomorrow. Come and give us a banquet!"

Officials put a pause on it,
  Yushi Zhongcheng, the chief official who was inspecting all the officials, also immediately stood up and shouted at everyone to maintain order in the hall!

Just like a farce,
  This fight came and went in a hurry and ended quickly,
  With the arrival of the banquet,
  The whole court has returned to harmony!
  Xu Wenhui originally thought that the banquet would be as solemn but boring as before.

did not expect,
  Except at the beginning,
  The rest of the time is very free,
  Not only ministers can walk around at will and chat with people they know,

Even the official Zhao Zhen came down with a wine glass to enjoy with the people.
  Zhang Kai, who was standing next to him, saw the curiosity in Xu Wenhui's eyes and smiled:
  "I didn't expect the banquet in the palace to be like this, right?"

"I really didn't expect it! I thought it would be very serious!"

"Haha, that was in the past. Our official family was very friendly. Except for necessary occasions, we generally didn't have strict requirements!" At this point, Zhang Kai seemed to have seen something happen and said with a smile:

"Oh? My elder brother's place happens to be free. If Bo Sheng has nothing to do, why not come with me? My elder brother must also want to see a young hero like you!"

Since everyone said so, Xu Wenhui naturally found it difficult to refuse.

Besides, he also wanted to get to know this famous old general, the British Lord Optimus among the nobles!
  So he simply nodded and smiled:
  "How dare you disobey your orders!"

The fortune trajectories of the British public and Gu Yankai were similar.

However, unlike Gu Yankai who was in the northwest, the British Duke had been in Wubian in the northern Xinjiang in his early years, facing the Liao Kingdom, the most powerful enemy of the Zhou Dynasty.
  He has repeatedly defeated the Liao Kingdom's attempts to seize the border. He has a high prestige in the military and has the highest qualifications.
  Now he is the number one person in the military forces of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
  At that moment, the two of them stood up together and walked up.

In front of the British public,
  Xu Wenhui and Zhang Kai clasped their fists and saluted together.
  "Big brother!"

"Duke!"

After saluting, Zhang Kai quickly introduced:
  "Brother, this is Xu Wenhui from the Xu family! My cousin is Bo Sheng!"

The British Master nodded slightly and said nothing. Instead, he looked at Xu Wenhui carefully.
  When the British Duke looked at Xu Wenhui,
  Xu Wenhui did not dodge, and also looked at this legendary figure head-on.
  I saw that although this British man had gray hair on his temples,

But he has a tall and straight figure, with strong waist and strong back. It can be seen that this old prince is still quite brave even now.
  Coupled with the sword-shaped eyebrows on the temples, the tiger's gaze and the eagle's Yang Yang look look very majestic.

The British Duke had probably never met a young man like Xu Wenhui who dared to look him in the eye. Thinking of Xu Wenhui's achievements, he couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.
  He reached out and patted Xu Wenhui on the shoulder, and said with a cheerful smile:

"Okay! Yes, he is indeed the son of our nobles. Before I closed my eyes, I could see such a person among our nobles. It is no regrets!"

Great Zhou Xungui,

Although there are some internal estrangements and differences, or some families are at odds with each other, each has its own faction.

But they are all inextricably linked, and externally they are still the interests of a political group!

Among the nobles, if any family is in trouble,
  As long as it is not a serious matter of rebellion, other families will basically speak out in the court.

For example, if the Yuan family of Uncle Zhongqin made a mistake and was expelled, it would be equivalent to weakening the noble's overall strength.

Later, nobles often traveled around, and the Yuan family was restored to the title of nobility in Zhao Zhen's generation.

However, the Xungui Group is fundamentally different from civilian forces or ordinary military forces.

Honors and nobility are mainly inherited through family blood. After several generations of wealth,

Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer promising people, and the overall strength of Xungui is weakening day by day.
  Not to mention the nobles who were transferred from Wu to Wen, except for the Duke of Yue, which barely succeeded, the others have basically weakened.
  For example, the Dukes of Qi, the Dukes of Ling, and the Hous of Dongchang all became nobles with no real power.

Most of the aristocratic families who still inherit the martial arts without transferring the text are inactive and can only maintain their superficial respectability.
  Now that the general of the Xu family of the Yongyi Hou Mansion has emerged, another noble force has been added. No wonder the British prince is also happy about it.

At present, Xu Wenhui is not deeply aware of these feelings.

The main reason is that the Xu family is in decline and is not within the decision-making level of Xungui.

However, he could feel that the British Duke in front of him was really happy, so he said modestly:
  "The Duke of Guo is so complimentary, but Bo Sheng just did what he was supposed to do!"

"There's no need to be modest. I can tell clearly whether you have real ability or not! Come on, come on, sit down first, sit down first, and have a drink with me!"

……

The British public is a big boss in the military.

Belongs to the focus person,

Xu Wenhui also belongs to the rising upstarts.
  The two of them were chatting happily, which naturally caught the attention of interested people.

Even the official Zhao Zhen became interested.
  After finishing chatting with several husband-in-laws, he walked over with a smile.
  "What are you two talking about?" Seeing the British Duke and Xu Wenhui both stand up and salute, he pressed his hands again and said with a smile:

"Everyone, sit down, sit down, don't pay attention to formalities on this big day!"

After all, Xu Wenhui is a modern person who doesn’t pay much attention to dignity.

Just as he was about to stand up as usual, he saw the British Duke continuing to salute respectfully.
  So he quickly bowed down.
  Fortunately, Zhao Zhen had already come down and walked around at this time, so all he had to do was bow and bow.

Otherwise, it would be a bit awkward to kowtow and kneel in front of someone.
  Zhao Zhen saw Xu Wenhui's little move and didn't pay attention to it. Instead, he found it interesting. He laughed, then looked Xu Wenhui up and down and said kindly:

"Is this our new deputy commander of the bodyguards? Well... he is indeed extraordinary. Commander Xu, will I leave my safety to you in the future?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Wenhui immediately solemnly agreed:

"The humble minister must do his best to be loyal and live up to the king's kindness!"

"Okay, I believe you can do it. I have heard of your deeds on the battlefield. You are brave, resourceful and like your ancestors!" At this point, Zhao Zhen seemed to be recalling something, and he said in a low voice said:
  "I still remember clearly the time when Ling Zu went to war, but I didn't expect it has been so many years..."

The British minister also sighed when he heard this:

"Yes, Wei Chen also worked with Brother Xu in Northern Xinjiang, but it's a pity..."

As he spoke, he shook his head, seemingly regretting the early death of Xu Wenhui's grandfather.

Although I don’t know if Zhao Zhen really cherishes his memory, he still brought it up deliberately.
  But when he heard about his grandfather, Xu Wenhui also looked sad.
  "The general died in hundreds of battles. For the sake of the righteousness of the family and the country, my grandfather died on the battlefield and was wrapped in horse leather. There is no regret!"

Upon seeing this, Zhao Zhen patted Xu Wenhui on the shoulder and said:
  "Fortunately, you are now successful, the Xu family can be considered a successor, and Xu Qing's spirit in heaven can be comforted!"
