~6 min read 1,010 words

Now they were suddenly vulnerable?

Are the Tatars not good enough?

Or is Jia Hui too perverted?

Shock!

Shock!

An uproar!

Earth-shattering!

Inside and outside the court! The whole place was shaken!

"Beheading the general, seizing the flag, breaking the army!"

"This is the supreme honor that a military general considers in his life of fighting; since ancient times, how many people have been able to achieve this honor?"

Like the Eighth Prince Cao Prince Li Yanbin, the Seventh Prince Jing Prince Li Jingyan, who was good at governing the army, was excited!

He couldn't help but step out in public!

And loudly requested merit from Emperor Yongshun on the throne!

"Your son believes that Mobile Corps Commander Jia has achieved an extraordinary feat! And it is even more powerful and magnificent than before! He should be rewarded heavily!"

"..."

The court officials heard this and were in a heated discussion.

【26】 The civil and military officials of the whole court argue for the second time about Jia Hui's nobility! (6)

Emperor Yongshun couldn't help but smile: "Jingyan, you opposed it just a few days ago."

Seventh Prince Jing Prince Li Jingyan shook his head: "Your son only opposed it because I thought the merit of the Mobile Corps Commander at that time was not enough to get that reward."

Emperor Yongshun smiled again upon hearing this.

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

Except for Second Prince Li Sheng and Sixth Prince Li Yi who still didn't attend court.

The other princes were all there.

Seeing this.

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

And both expressed their support for rewarding Jia Hui heavily!

They were the ones who had strongly supported rewarding Jia Hui heavily from the beginning in order to win him over.

There was no reason to give up halfway.

This time they chose to support again.

The remaining Third Prince Jin Prince Li Shenxing saw that his three brothers all supported it, and knowing that Jia Hui had indeed achieved great merit and extraordinary feats, it was impossible not to reward him.

So he simply followed the crowd!

"Your son agrees, your son also believes that we should reward Jia Hui heavily immediately."

Only Crown Prince Li Jingxuan, holding his status and favor, and disdaining to befriend military generals as rough people.

However, he also knew that Jia Hui had achieved great merit, so there was no reason to oppose.

So he simply chose to keep silent!

Seeing this!

Except for the officials of Crown Prince Li Jingxuan's faction who didn't say much.

Civil and military officials from other factions all expressed their support.

Emperor Yongshun had a solemn expression.

Making it impossible to see his thoughts.

"Since that is the case, what do you ministers think should be the reward for this Jia Hui."

"Your son believes."

"Mobile Corps Commander Jia, annihilated three thousand Tatars, beheaded enemy general Nurha, and dozens of chiliarchs and centurions."

"And ten thousand auxiliary troops."

"Such an extraordinary feat is enough to be conferred a Marquis!"

Seventh Prince Jing Prince Li Jingyan once again stepped out to speak fairly!

However.

Hearing this.

It immediately received a fierce response!

Mainly opposing!

The wave was even more intense than last time!

Led by the military nobles of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes faction, they opposed crazily!

"Your Majesty, this must not be!"

"This is too heavy, absolutely not."

"That's right, this Jia Hui is so young, how can he be conferred a Marquis."

"It's truly exaggerated! Absolutely not!"

Niu Jizong, Liu Fang, and others opposed extremely!

First, they had a grudge against Jia Hui as a premise.

They couldn't possibly see Jia Hui climb too high.

Second, you must know that Niu Jizong was only a first-rank Earl, and Liu Fang was a first-rank Viscount!

Jia Hui was a Marquis, wouldn't he climb above them in one step?

Wouldn't he be able to climb above them and mess around in the future?

Therefore.

Their intense jealousy and disgust made them oppose extremely!

The Four Kings and Eight Dukes represented more than half of the military nobles opposing!

The Emperor couldn't ignore it.

Then Crown Prince Li Jingxuan's faction also opposed.

Many others from other factions followed suit.

Seventh Prince Jing Prince Li Jingyan, as well as Fifth Prince Prince Yu Li Jinghuan and Eighth Prince Cao Prince Li Yanbin's faction, supported it extremely!

Compared to the last time.

This time the lines were even clearer!

The neutral faction was clearly much smaller!

Half supported, half opposed!

Emperor Yongshun looked calmly at the situation below.

Seeing that the opposition had the upper hand.

And there were more military nobles and important ministers.

Grand Marshal Sang Gong, Grand Tutor Song Yucheng, Minister of the Supreme Court Gao Sheng, Minister of Works Baili Yan, Minister of Revenue Shen Zhui, Minister of Justice Cai Quan, Minister of Rites Chen Yuanzhi, etc., mostly spoke out to oppose.

Emperor Yongshun, seeing this, had a calm face, as if he had expected it.

He simply let them argue.

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

Minister of Works Baili Yan believed it should be a Third-Class Baron.

Minister of Justice Cai Quan said that the regular third-rank military official's General of State Service should be promoted by one rank to become an Auxiliary State General equivalent to a second-rank military official.

Cai Quan's words were angrily scolded by Xu Lingyi, head of the Yongping Marquis Xu family, one of the four new noble Marquises: "This is not a reward, it's an insult! How can such an extraordinary feat be rewarded so thinly!"

Everyone argued in a group.

Everyone was arguing in a chaotic mess.
