Chapter 388

it became the associate second rank during the time of the founding emperor of the Great Gan, the second emperor changed it back to the regular third rank, and then the current Retired Emperor changed it back to the regular second rank, which Emperor Yongshun continued.

Therefore, the current Left and Right Vice Ministers are of the associate second rank.

They are one of the deputy heads of the Ministry of War, assisting in managing the ministry's affairs.

The Six Ministries report directly to the Emperor, and the Left and Right Vice Ministers manage government affairs separately, so their duties are very important.

Jia Hui's previous dual regular third ranks were far inferior to this.

It's not just about the rank.

It's also about the power.

Although the number of regular third-rank Assistant Regional Commanders is not exactly a dime a dozen, they are mid-to-high-level generals.

But there are not a few of them either.

As for Jia Hui's position as Commander of the Five Cities Infantry and Cavalry Division,

that is even less valued, and even fourth or fifth-rank civil officials look down on it.

It was only in Jia Hui's hands that it could produce miraculous effects.

That was also because Jia Hui had the support of his Supra-Rank title!

And this associate second-rank Left Vice Minister of War

is truly stepping into the ranks of the court's important ministers!

No powerful person would dare to underestimate him.

Even first-rank high officials would not dare to look down on him.

Once at this level,

although there is still a gap in rank,

in reality, you can't do anything to me.

I will call you "my lord" out of respect, but if I don't give you face, there's nothing you can do.

There are not many scruples about impeaching each other in the court.

This is the value of this position!

For Jia Hui, it is undoubtedly a promotion!

Yang Huan was extremely shocked: "How long has it been? Dual third ranks, and now an associate second rank has been added! Three official positions, and one of them is an associate second rank!"

Of course, having multiple official positions is not strange.

For example, Ling Buyi, Gao Sheng, and others all have multiple positions.

The most important thing is that the value of the Left Vice Minister of War is too high.

In his heart,

Jia Hui was in ecstasy.

Originally, according to the considerations of Jia Xu and the others, adding a regular third-rank official position would have been about enough.

He didn't expect it to be an associate second rank, and it was in the Ministry of War!

This means he has completely become a big shot in the Ministry of War!

It can even be said that he is a big shot in the entire military!

Even Regional Commanders and Deputy Regional Commanders would have to curry favor with him!

Facing the Prince of Jingying, Wang Ziteng, who is also of the associate second rank,

they are of equal rank!

Jia Hui can even exercise control over Wang Ziteng.

Because the Ministry of War has four bureaus: Military Selection, Appointments, Vehicles, and Armory.

The Minister and Vice Ministers jointly manage the military administration of the Jingying and supervise the training of the Jingying.

That is to say, Jia Hui also has the power to supervise the Jingying!

Although it is only the power to train,

he does not have the power to command troops in battle.

But in non-wartime, the power is great.

And this position of Jia Hui can also participate in and intervene in the real power of rewarding and punishing soldiers.

His power and influence in the Jingying are no weaker than those of Wang Ziteng, the Military Governor.

Although there is still the Minister and the Right Vice Minister to check him,

it is still very remarkable.

Having it and not having it are two different concepts.

In his heart, he was in ecstasy and ten thousand times willing.

On the surface, Jia Hui shook his head repeatedly, like a rattle-drum: "No, no, Your Majesty, Empress, I am still young and already have an official position; I cannot take on such an important post."

Emperor Yongshun and Li Shimin looked at him with appreciation.

But on the surface, Li Shimin feigned anger and said: "Marquis Yongping refused, and you also refuse. Is the position I gave you so bad that you are avoiding it?"

·· 0 Seeking flowers 0 ·········

Jia Hui was startled and shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, absolutely not."

"Since that is the case, then accept it!"

Li Shimin said.

He has limited people he can promote and use, who are capable and trustworthy.

Therefore, for now, Jia Hui is the most suitable candidate.

He has merit, is trustworthy, and is capable.

Even his youth is not a disadvantage to him, but rather an advantage.

This has already been said and need not be repeated.

Anyway, there is an experienced and qualified person watching over the Minister.

And there is the Right Vice Minister.

So there is no need to worry about any major chaos.

Jia Hui said "helplessly": "Yes, this humble official thanks Your Majesty. Since that is the case, I will accept this position, but if I don't do it well, Your Majesty, please don't blame me!"

....... 0 0

Li Shimin laughed loudly and scolded with a smile: "You brat, you're even bargaining with me. Fine, I definitely won't blame you."

Jia Hui immediately relaxed and smiled.

Thus,

the atmosphere in the Imperial Study became even more harmonious.

Li Shimin and his wife thought they had made Jia Hui completely devoted and loyal.

After the joking and the rewards,

Li Shimin then asked about the details of the case.

"Ah Hui, I am also very curious, how did you solve this case so quickly?"

Empress Liu E and Yang Huan and the others also looked at Jia Hui with curiosity.

Jia Hui then said: "After I was attacked yesterday, I sent my men to investigate. Among them, I had previously met Gao Bingzhu, the Deputy Envoy of the Unofficial Bureau, who happened to recognize that the weapon material used by the assassin was copper from Lian Mountain, so I sent him to Lian Mountain to investigate, and at the same time sent people to divide forces to investigate the Unofficial Well, because my intuition told me that privately manufacturing such things must be hidden, and undoubtedly the Unofficial Well, being far from ordinary people, was the most suitable location."

"Then after investigating, it was indeed found."

"Then how did you know it was Song Liang? And not someone else?"

"It's because based on the clues currently mastered, those who can secretly build these and transport the copper from Lian Mountain must be powerful figures in this regard, and the Ministry of War is the greatest possibility."

"And yesterday, Song Liang deliberately came to my wedding scene."

"I did not invite him, he came uninvited."

"According to what I know, criminals have a characteristic."

Li Shimin, Liu E, and the others nodded frequently after hearing this.

Hearing this, they were all curious: "Oh, what characteristic?" Nine.
