Chapter 21

The Jia family was not happy!

The Rongguo Prefecture was okay.

They felt they didn't have much hatred with Jia Hui.

Everything was caused by the Ningguo Prefecture.

Although they indulged and didn't stop the retaliation against Jia Hui.

But they still thought it had nothing to do with them.

So the reaction was calm.

Only a few women Love Love Like Hearing Hearing Tanchun felt moved by Jia Hui showing his divine might again.

In their spare time, they couldn't help but gradually talk about Jia Hui.

And the Ningguo Prefecture was unbearable!

It is said that on that day.

Jia Zhen was so angry that he smashed several beloved vases.

He didn't even play with women!

Jia Rong was no better.

He was so angry he couldn't eat.

The father and son were angry and furious but could only continue to watch Jia Hui show off and be helpless!

As for the other Four Princes and Eight Dukes faction, they were in an uproar.

But most still didn't take Jia Hui seriously.

They all thought.

Jia Hui offended the barbarians to death.

It must be a dead end!

So they ate and drank as usual.

And besides the founding military nobles.

Other new nobles.

And other civil and military courtiers had different reactions.

Only Emperor Emperor Emperor Yongshun was overjoyed.

Although Emperor Emperor Emperor Yongshun was a semi-puppet Emperor.

And power had fallen into other hands.

But he still had some power.

In the case that the Retired Emperor basically didn't ask about facts and enjoyed the second half of his life all day long.

Emperor Emperor Emperor Yongshun easily.

Through the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Imperial City Guard, investigated Jia Hui’s situation clearly!

Including that Jia Hui was a collateral branch of the Jia family!

And including the incident where Jia Rong snatched Jia Hui’s marriage, was beaten by Jia Hui in public, and tore open the scandal of Jia Zhen and his son.

"Collateral branch is good."

Emperor Emperor Emperor Yongshun smiled.

Because the Four Princes and Eight Dukes faction followed the Retired Emperor.

Naturally, they were hated by Emperor Emperor Emperor Yongshun.

And Jia Hui was not a direct descendant of the Jia family, which gave Emperor Emperor Emperor Yongshun the premise to promote him!

The key is that Jia Hui had now fallen out with the Ningguo Prefecture!

This made it even safer to use him!

"And this Jia Hui is indeed worthy of being a brave general who can kill over a thousand barbarians, fierce and unyielding, no wonder he dared to beat the big clan’s Jia Rong."

"Ningguo Prefecture is truly rotten!..."

And thinking of the evil deeds of Jia Rong and Jia Zhen, Emperor Emperor Emperor Yongshun was even more disgusted.

He shook his head.

He was originally preparing to wait for the war to end.

To summon Jia Hui back to see him.

He didn't expect Jia Hui to have another great merit!

Raiding the camp!

Breaking the camp!

Killing hundreds of enemies!

Another miraculous feat!

After hearing this news.

Jia Zhen and his son couldn't eat, but Emperor Emperor Emperor Yongshun’s appetite increased greatly!

He happily ate two big bowls of rice!

Making everyone in the harem who was always paying attention to Emperor Emperor Emperor Yongshun hear Jia Hui’s name!

Jia Hui’s name thus spread rapidly throughout the world!

If he hadn't just rewarded Jia Hui.

The hundred officials would definitely have blocked and opposed it.

Emperor Emperor Emperor Yongshun would have loved to promote Jia Hui again.

And then gain Jia Hui’s loyal allegiance!

However!

Jia Hui used his invincible strength!

To strongly suppress all dissatisfaction and unhappiness!

In the following days!

Good news about Jia Hui was sent back to the Divine Capital every day!

This made the Divine Capital suddenly Love Love Like the New Year!

The hundred officials and commoners, who hadn't heard so much good news for a long time and had always heard bad news, defeats, and loss of cities and land, were all overjoyed!

Singing and dancing could be seen everywhere in the streets!

The liquor business in restaurants was clearly booming!

Today they discussed and praised Jia Hui for routing Nurhaye’s forces! Raiding the camp again and killing hundreds of enemies!

The next day they discussed and praised Jia Hui for routing Nurhaye’s forces! And beheading a thousand-man commander of the enemy!

The next day, Jia Hui routed Nurhaye’s forces! Raided the camp again, killed enemies, and burned countless enemy supplies! Nurhaye led the defeated soldiers to flee! The siege of Dingyuan Town was lifted!

Until more and more people discussed, praised, and were ecstatic that Jia Hui beheaded the fierce Nurhaye!

"Jia Hui is truly my Great Great Great Qian’s divine general!"

Jia Hui’s prestige soared!

Many people called him a divine general!

Beheading generals!

Seizing flags!

Breaking armies!

From royal nobles!

Down to commoners!

Everyone was dumbfounded and unbelievable!

Such military intelligence!

It was truly, really too exaggerated!

It made them tremble!

Since when did their Great Great Great Qian have such divine might?

The invincible name of the barbarians was still in their ears!

Yet now, they are suddenly vulnerable?

Is it that the Tatars are failing?

Or is Jia Hui too monstrous?

Shock!

Astonishment!

An uproar!

Earth-shattering!

Both inside and outside the court! A great tremor!

"Beheading generals, seizing flags, breaking the enemy army!"

"This is the supreme honor that a martial general seeks throughout a lifetime of campaigning; from ancient times to the present, how many have achieved such honor?"

Love Love Like the Eighth Prince, Cao Wang Li Li Li Yanbin, the Seventh Prince, Jing Wang Li Li Li Jingyan, who was skilled in military administration, looked excited!

He could not help but step out in public!

And loudly requested rewards from the Emperor Emperor Emperor Yongshun on the throne!

"This son believes that Mobile Corps Commander Jia has performed a miraculous feat! And it is even more powerful and magnificent than before! He should be heavily rewarded!"

"......"

The assembled officials were in heated discussion upon hearing this.

[26] The court officials argue for the second time over Jia Hui's title! (6)

Emperor Emperor Emperor Yongshun could not help but smile: "Li Li Jingyan, just a few days ago you were speaking out in opposition."

The Seventh Prince, Jing Wang Li Li Li Jingyan, shook his head: "This son only opposed it because I believed that the Mobile Corps Commander’s merits at the time were not enough to warrant that reward."

Emperor Emperor Emperor Yongshun smiled again upon hearing this.

The Crown Prince Li Jingxuan, the Second Prince Li Sheng, the Third Prince Jin Wang Li Li Li Shenxing, the Fifth Prince Yu Wang Li Li Li Jinghuan, the Sixth Prince Li Yi, the Seventh Prince Jing Wang Li Li Li Jingyan, and the Eighth Prince Cao Wang Li Li Li Yanbin—several princes were present.

Except for the Second Prince Li Sheng and the Sixth Prince Li Yi, who still had not attended court.

The other princes were all there.

Seeing this.

The Fifth Prince Yu Wang Li Li Li Jinghuan and the Eighth Prince Cao Wang Li Li Li Yanbin both stepped out.

They also expressed their support for heavily rewarding Jia Hui!

The two of them had been the initial proponents of rewarding Jia Hui heavily in order to win him over.

There was no reason to give up halfway.

This time, they chose to support him again.

That left the Crown Prince Li Jingxuan and the Third Prince Jin Wang Li Li Li Shenxing.

The Third Prince Jin Wang Li Li Li Shenxing saw that three of his brothers supported it, and knowing that Jia Hui had indeed performed a great and miraculous feat, he knew it was impossible not to reward him.

So he simply followed the crowd!

"This son seconds the motion; this son also believes that Jia Hui should be heavily rewarded immediately."

Only the Crown Prince Li Jingxuan, holding onto his status and favor, and disdaining to befriend generals whom he viewed as crude men, remained silent.

However, he also knew that Jia Hui had performed a great feat, and there was no reason to oppose it.

So he simply chose to remain silent!

Seeing this!

Except for the officials of the Crown Prince Li Jingxuan’s faction who did not say much,

civil and military officials from all other factions voiced their support.

Emperor Emperor Emperor Yongshun’s expression was solemn.

Making it impossible to see through his thoughts.

"Since that is the case, how do you ministers think this Jia Hui should be rewarded?"

"This son believes."

"Mobile Corps Commander Jia has annihilated three thousand Tatars, beheaded the enemy general Nuerha, and dozens of thousand-man and hundred-man commanders."

"As well as ten thousand auxiliary troops."

"Such a miraculous feat is enough to be enfeoffed as a Marquis!"

The Seventh Prince, Jing Wang Li Li Li Jingyan, once again took the initiative to speak impartially!

However.

Upon hearing this.

It immediately received a fierce reaction!

Mainly in opposition!

The wave was even more intense than last time!

Led by the martial nobility of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes, they opposed it frantically!

"Your Majesty, this must not be!"

"This is far too heavy a reward; it absolutely must not be done."

"That’s right, Jia Hui is so young, how can he be enfeoffed as a Marquis?"

"It is truly exaggerated! Absolutely not!"

Niu Niu Niu Jizong, Liu Fang, and others opposed it with all their might!

Firstly, with their grievances against Jia Hui as a premise.

They could not bear to see Jia Hui climb too high.

Secondly, one must know that Niu Niu Niu Jizong was only a First-Class Earl, and Liu Fang was a First-Class Viscount!

If Jia Hui were a Marquis, wouldn't he be climbing right over their heads?

Wouldn't he be able to run wild over them in the future?

Therefore.

Their intense jealousy and disgust made them oppose it with all their might!

The Four Kings and Eight Dukes represented more than half of the martial nobility in opposition!

Even the Emperor could not ignore this.

Then, the faction of the Crown Prince Li Jingxuan also opposed it.

Many officials from other factions followed suit.

The Seventh Prince Jing Wang Li Li Li Jingyan, as well as the Fifth Prince Yu Wang Li Li Li Jinghuan and the Eighth Prince Cao Wang Li Li Li Yanbin and their faction, supported it strongly!

Compared to last time.

This time the lines were even more clearly drawn!

The number of centrists had clearly decreased significantly!

Half supported, half opposed!

Emperor Emperor Emperor Yongshun watched the situation below calmly.

He could see that the opposition had the slight upper hand.

And there were more martial nobles and high-ranking officials among them.

Grand Marshal Sang Gong, Grand Tutor Song Yucheng, Minister of the Court of Judicial Review Gao Sheng, Head of the Baili Clan and Minister of Works Baili Yan, Minister of Revenue Shen Zhui, Minister of Justice Cai Quan, Minister of Rites Chen Yuanzhi, and others mostly spoke out in opposition.

Emperor Emperor Emperor Yongshun looked calm upon seeing this, as if he had expected it.

He simply let them argue.

Minister of Revenue Shen Zhui, the son of the Princess of Qinghe, believed that Jia Hui should be rewarded as a Baron, a First-Class Baron, and a Cloud-Riding Lieutenant.

Head of the Baili Clan and Minister of Works Baili Yan believed he should be a Third-Class Baron.

Minister of Justice Cai Quan said that as a Third-Rank martial official, he should be promoted by one rank to become a General Protecting the State, equivalent to a Second-Rank martial official.

Cai Quan’s words were met with an angry rebuke from one of the four new noble Marquises, Head of the Xu Clan and Marquis of Marquis Marquis Yongping, Xu Xu Xu Lingyi: "This is not a reward, it is an insult! How can such a miraculous feat be rewarded so thinly!"

Everyone was arguing in a mess.
