When he woke up, Bai Zhizhan realized that he was already lying on the bed in the hotel.

He didn't drink this time, and he clearly remembered that he walked back to the hotel. The waiter at the front desk wanted to help him upstairs, but he refused. After returning to the room, he did not forget to wash his face and rinse his mouth, but he couldn't remember how he went to bed, how he took off his clothes and covered his quilt in the end.

Actually, I didn’t drink much last night, at most half a bottle.

It’s not that Bai Zhizhan has insufficient alcohol tolerance, but that the chef is a little stingy. Seeing Bai Zhizhan drinking so quickly, he hid another bottle.

The main reason is that sorghum wine has a particularly strong potential.

I don’t feel anything when I drink it, but it’s amazing when I wait until I get drunk.

After washing his face with cold water, Bai Zhizhan became much more awake.

The chef was not stingy, but was afraid that he would get drunk, but he was still drunk in the end, but he just didn't make a fool of himself and came back by himself.

I can't drink this next time!

When the door was knocked, Bai Zhizhan was brushing his teeth.

"Here, come! Stop knocking, you don't even have to urge your life!"

The knock was very fast, and the banging sound seemed to be thundering, which made Bai Zhizhan very angry.

When I opened the door, I found that it was Zhou Yongtao and I was wearing a dress.

Is this guy going to the wedding?

Maybe it's going to pay homage to my future mother-in-law.

Zhou Yongtao was also surprised, or a little shocked when he saw Bai Zhizhan wearing pajamas, his hair was messy and his body was drunk.

"So early?"

"It's too early? Do you know what day it is?"

“What day.”

"On the first day of the Lunar New Year, on the first day of the Lunar New Year!"

"Oh, New Year. You dress so well, are you going to show the New Year for your future mother-in-law?"

"How much did you drink last night?" Zhou Yongtao was obviously a little anxious.

"Just two drinks, I drank it in the restaurant."

"You... go and change your clothes quickly and need formal clothes!"

"What are you going to do? Go and meet your future mother-in-law..."

"Give the title. Have you forgotten the title ceremony for the new general in the Privy Council today?"

After hearing what Zhou Yongtao said, Bai Zhizhan was stunned at first, and then rushed into the bathroom.

He really forgot!

It was also because of this period that Bai Zhizhan forgot the main business of returning to the imperial capital. If Zhou Yongtao hadn't come to the hotel to call him, he would probably have gone to the headquarters after breakfast.

Zhou Yongtao was also very moved and felt that he shouldn't leave Bai Zhizhan.

The day after returning to the imperial capital, Zhou Yongtao rushed to the Naval Officer Academy and selected a group of outstanding graduates according to Bai Zhizhan's intention. Although the Naval Officer Academy graduated in the summer of every year, during the war period, students could be allowed to intern in the fleet and the troops in advance.

More than 20 years ago, Bai Zhizhan graduated early and then went to the 21st Fleet of the local fleet.

Zhou Yongtao took a transport plane back to the imperial capital in the middle of the night yesterday, and then went to the hotel to find Bai Zhizhan in the early morning.

Unexpectedly, Bai Zhizhan actually forgot about this.

If you know it, you should have called yesterday to remind me.

Fortunately, it is early morning and there is plenty of time.

Bai Zhizhan took a shower quickly and took a shower.

Taking this opportunity, Zhou Yongtao took out the dress in the closet.

This was sent by Li Yunxiang after Bai Zhizhan arrived in the imperial capital. He said that when he came back last time, Fang Suqing customized it according to Bai Zhizhan's size. In Fang Suqing's words, Bai Zhizhan won the battle and made great contributions. This dress can be used sooner or later.

When Fang Suqing customized this dress, he must be considering Bai Zhizhan's lifelong event.

To put it bluntly, when you go to see your future mother-in-law, you can dress more formally and leave a perfect first impression.

After Bai Zhizhan put on his dress, he really looked like an imperial navy god of war.

There are really some similarities with Chen Bingxun.

Not to mention anything else, Chen Bingxun is not good-looking, and is shorter among his peers, and even a little ugly. Only those bright and energetic pairs, like eagles, seem to have insight into everything and can see other people's inner activities, which makes anyone afraid of seeing them.

Emperor Shiwu used the word "eagle looking at the wolf" to describe Chen Bingxun's eyes.

Bai Zhizhan's eyes were not that sharp, perhaps because of his deliberate restraint in daily life.

"How about it?"

"It's not bad, this dress is custom made, right?"

Bai Zhizhan was speechless, and Zhou Yongtao was evaluating the dress.

"It's getting late, let's go."

The two of them did not delay any more. Bai Zhizhan went to the headquarters to handle the procedures and went to the Privy Council's ID. Zhou Yongtao went to the hotel restaurant to receive two breakfasts and asked for a car.

On the way to the Privy Council, the two of them finished their breakfast in a hurry.

The awarding of the title has nothing to do with Zhou Yongtao. However, after the awarding ceremony, Xue Yuanzheng personally commended and commended the meritorious soldiers, and they were all grassroots officers and soldiers. According to convention, the navy selects one or several representatives based on fleets.

The First Special Mixed Fleet was just established and not large in scale, so only one representative was selected.

That's right, it's Zhou Yongtao.

It's also for convenience.

Although Zhou Yongtao is considered a grassroots officer according to his military rank, he is definitely not a grassroots officer and soldier in the Fleet Command according to his position.

There is nothing to do with this, the first special fleet is still on standby in that harbor.

When the two arrived at the Privy Council, the other people who came to participate in the awarding and commendation had already arrived, and the roadside outside was full of vehicles.

Fortunately, the driver was arranged by the hotel, so there was no problem of finding a place to park.

The guards came from the internal security department of the Imperial Guard, the bodyguard often referred to as the big inner bodyguard. After checking the two's IDs, they asked the two to hand over the items they carried with them. Finally, they searched carefully before the guards let them go. To be precise, they asked the reception staff inside to take the two in.

Not to mention Zhou Yongtao, Bai Zhizhan is here for the first time.

This small courtyard is not only the power hub of the empire, but also the power center of the empire for a long time in the past.

In the early days of the empire's creation, the Privy Council was the imperial study room of Emperor Shiwu.

Even now, the symbolic meaning of the Privy Council is only below the palace.

After the constitutional reform, the Privy Council's number one responsibility was to exercise jurisdiction for the emperor, be responsible for the management and use of the national seal, and appoint cabinet ministers, including the chief minister.

Strictly speaking, the Imperial Chief Auxiliary is only an administrative officer appointed by the Privy Council and must be responsible to the Privy Council.

In daily life, the Privy Council serves as a bridge between the cabinet and the inner palace.

During extraordinary times, the Privy Council directly obeyed the emperor's command.

In addition, all major activities were not only the generals, but also the oath of inauguration of cabinet officials such as the Chief Secretary, and were all held in the Privy Council.

This arrangement is actually a symbol of the empire's power institutions must be loyal to the emperor.

It can be seen that this is the most sacred place that civilians can reach.

Still going up?

Then become a royal relative of the empire. Only by becoming a member of the royal family, even if the prince consort, can he be qualified to enter the palace in normal times. If not, even the prime minister today can only enter the palace to meet the holy after a major incident happened and obtain the permission of the Privy Council.

Bai Zhizhan was a little excited, and Zhou Yongtao was looking around all the way.

Feelings are like two rural bullies entering the Grand View Garden.

Actually, nothing looks good.

It's just an ordinary courtyard, but it's very vigilant.
