Chapter 22

So how could he endure it.

He immediately followed his prospective father-in-law out to oppose.

What made Emperor Yongshun's face turn cold was that Grand Marshal Sang Gong, Grand Tutor Song Yucheng, Minister of the Supreme Court Gao Sheng, Minister of Works Baili Yan, Left Censor-in-Chief Sheng Hong, and other court officials, one after another, all stepped out to oppose.

As for the Four Kings and Eight Dukes faction, they were even more distinct, all stepping out to oppose.

Jia Hui had nothing to do with them.

Even because of Jia Zhen.

They were extremely disgusted with Jia Hui and naturally didn't want to see him rise!

Emperor Yongshun on the dragon throne was somewhat angry, but he said calmly on the surface: "Is it not right to reward such an extraordinary feat heavily?"

【18】 (5) Jia Zhen is impotently furious! Mobile Corps Commander! Conferring nobility!

"The front lines are repeatedly reporting emergencies, and defeats are constant; it is rare to have a great victory, and your son also believes that we should reward heavily to boost military morale."

At this time, Prince Yu Li Jinghuan stepped out again.

Prince Yu Li Jinghuan didn't know this Jia Hui.

However, he spoke for two purposes.

First, he saw Emperor Yongshun's intention and wanted to please him!

Second, it was to win over Jia Hui.

He didn't care about justice, governing the country, or the great cause of the people, only knowing how to intrigue and use strange power balances to achieve the goal of seizing the throne.

Li Jinghuan's stance made Emperor Yongshun imperceptibly satisfied.

Crown Prince Li Jing's birth mother was Imperial Consort Yue, who was extremely favored in the harem, even surpassing the current Empress Yan, so the Crown Prince was also fearless. To protect his position as heir, he could use any means, viewing Prince Yu as a thorn in his side.

Seeing that the ministers standing on his side were all opposing, while Li Jinghuan was supporting Jia Hui.

He then also stepped out.

But he was opposing!

"Father Emperor, I believe it is unreasonable; although this Jia Hui has achieved some merit, he should be rewarded, but not too heavily."

At this time!

The seventh Imperial Prince, Jing Prince Li Jingyan, also stepped out to oppose!

Li Jingyan was firm, brave, and full of righteousness.

He was one of the only two princes in the court who was knowledgeable about military affairs and had achieved military merit and contributed to defending the border!

He believed that Jia Hui indeed had merit and should be rewarded.

However, he believed.

That at most, he should be conferred "the position of a Regional Military Commissioner two levels lower, or a Garrison Commander in charge of a thousand soldiers!"

Don't underestimate the dispute over just one or two ranks.

How many years of hard work and bloody battles did it take for every court official to fight for every rank?

It took years of seniority.

Even the vast majority of people were stuck at one level for life and couldn't advance an inch until they died!

Just as Jing Prince Li Jingyan finished speaking, the Eighth Prince, Cao Prince Li Yanbin, also stepped out, but chose to stand on the side of Prince Yu Li Jinghuan: "Your son believes that although the words of the Crown Prince and the Seventh Imperial Brother are reasonable, now is not a normal time, and we should reward heavily to inspire military and public morale!"

Thus.

Crown Prince Li Jingxuan and Seventh Prince Jing Prince Li Jingyan opposed.

Prince Yu Li Jinghuan and Cao Prince Li Yanbin supported rewarding Jia Hui heavily.

The remaining Jin Prince Li Shenxing was hesitant, so he kept silent.

The court became divided into three groups.

One group was neutral, neither opposing nor supporting, belonging to the minority.

The majority were opposing.

Next were those supporting.

They argued for more than ten minutes.

Everyone gradually calmed down a bit.

And looked at Emperor Yongshun!

Emperor Yongshun's thoughts were hard to guess.

Finally, Emperor Yongshun said: "All the ministers have reasonable points; Jia Hui should be rewarded, heavily rewarded, but not too heavily. Since that is the case, let him be a Mobile Corps Commander, and confer upon him the rank of First-Class General of State Service and one Cloud Cavalry Lieutenant."

The court officials reacted differently to this.

How should I put it.

Mobile Corps Commander is the fourth-rank military official after Regional Commander, Deputy Regional Commander, and Assistant Regional Commander.

"Mobile Corps Commander" as a military position cannot be simply positioned as a certain rank.

The original intention of setting it up was to let a mid-level general lead a certain number of troops to patrol and guard the main army on the periphery.

In the early years of the Great Gan, military positions like Mobile Corps Commander, Regional Commander, and Assistant Regional Commander were all temporarily set up, and there was no subordinate relationship between them, nor was there a corresponding fixed rank.

After reaching the present day.

These originally temporary military positions solidified, and Mobile Corps Commander became a regular third-rank military position.

Many officials still felt it was too high.

However, military officials were originally "shorter" than civil officials.

Regular third-rank military position.

At most, it compares to the regular fourth-rank of civil officials.

It's not even as good as a fourth-rank official.

It belongs to mid-to-high-level officials.

Some people felt it was acceptable.

Seventh Prince Jing Prince Li Jingyan originally thought this position was reasonable.

It could be considered a heavy reward.

And it wasn't outrageously high.

After all, he had already been promoted several levels!

Therefore, Jing Prince Li Jingyan immediately stepped out to agree!

And the others, seeing that Emperor Yongshun had already decided, didn't want to offend him by opposing again.

So most of the court officials echoed the sentiment.

Others, even if unwilling or unhappy, dared not speak out to oppose again.

"This Jia Hui actually mixed his way to Mobile Corps Commander, and was also conferred a third-rank military official's First-Class General of State Service and one Cloud Cavalry Lieutenant; it's truly annoying."

To this.

Niu Jizong, the first-rank Earl and grandson of Duke of Zhenguo Niu Qing, and Liu Fang, the first-rank Viscount and grandson of Duke of Liguo Liu Biao, were all very unhappy.

Indignant and unbalanced.

After all, some of them were only at this level!

Jia Hui had ascended to the sky in one step!

Although unhappy.

They were helpless!

"He got lucky, it might have been a sneak attack, hmph, he definitely won't have such good luck in the future, maybe he'll die on the battlefield before long." Liu Fang thought in a low, hateful, and frustrated voice.

After all, his own clan was targeting Jia Hui.

They had offended Jia Hui to death!

Besides the Jia family.

He was the person in the whole court who hated Jia Hui the most and couldn't stand to see him do well!

However, like Chen Ji and the others.

No matter how frustrated, they had to endure it!

And endure it again and again!
