The procession in the palace was brilliant all the way.
The whole city was filled with red sleeves.
The passersby who came to watch the show surrounded the surrounding streets.
"This is General Shen Wei?"
"It is rumored that the Divine Might General has three heads and six arms, but today, I see that he also has sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes!”
"It is said that this person is a descendant of the High Duke!"
"General Huzi!"
At this moment.
The streets were crowded.
Jia Ying rode on a horse, wearing a lion helmet and a barbarian belt. He carried a sword at his waist, followed by dozens of burly guards and light cavalry.
As the mount floated up and down.
The blood-red cloak behind him fluttered in the wind.
He was really awe-inspiring!
There are many martial artists.
However, a handsome general like Jia Ying was truly rare.
It wasn't easy for him to arrive at the Imperial Palace.
"General Jia Ying, please enter the hall ~"
In the court.
Jia Ying strode forward with his head held high, subconsciously sizing up the two emperors on the seat of honor.
Emperor Qinglong appeared slightly younger.
The other person who was senile was naturally the Retired Emperor.
Two dragons in the same court.
The scene was really strange.
However…
Jia Ying couldn't care less. The two emperors 'fight was their own business and had nothing to do with him.
"I brought more than 130 captives of the Jin nobles into the capital. The rest…"
Jia Ying spoke methodically.
Then, he handed over the name list that he had prepared earlier.
So many captives.
He couldn't bring them all to the palace to ask for credit.
As soon as he finished speaking.
The entire hall was silent.
It was truly a great merit!
All the officials had strange looks in their eyes.
Jia Ying was so young, yet she had achieved such a feat.
How should he reward them?
And this little monster.
How did he do all of this?
In front of all the officials.
Instead, Emperor Qinglong began to chat with Jia Ying, which caused the Retired Emperor's face to turn green.
Logically speaking.
Jia Ying was a descendant of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes, so he naturally belonged to the Retired Emperor's faction.
However…
These years, as the Retired Emperor grew older, more and more old officials turned to support the Qinglong Emperor.
And now, Emperor Qinglong wanted to poach Jia Ying in front of all the officials.
It was equivalent to poaching the entire Jia residence!
Naturally, this made Retired Emperor somewhat unhappy.
Before that.
The Qinglong Emperor had already successfully won the Shi family over to his side.
two marquises of the Shi family.
They were Marquis Bowling and Marquis Zhongjing.
This was all because of the emperor's favor.
Now, there were rumors that the Qinglong Emperor wanted to confer Jia Yuanchun the title of Imperial Consort. It was enough to show that the Qinglong Emperor wanted to imitate the methods used against the Shi family to rope in the entire Jia residence.
Everyone had a tacit understanding.
Emperor Qinglong saw that the time was ripe.
Then, he asked the official in the hall.
"Dear ministers, General Shen Wei has made a great contribution this time. How do you think we should reward him?”
The officials below stepped forward to speak.
It was obvious that they were divided into two factions.
"Jia Ying has made a great contribution. How can we appease the people if we don't reward him handsomely?”
"I propose that Jia Ying be promoted to first-class marquis, hereditary!”
"Nonsense! Although General Jia had made a great contribution, he was still too young to be conferred the title of marquis and general. It was difficult to convince the masses!”
Jia Ying glanced at the person who was shouting the loudest.
There was no one else but Wang Ziteng.
This Wang Ziteng had the Retired Emperor and the four kings and eight dukes backing him up, so he was like a big tree that was easy to shade from.
This defeat.
Wang Ziteng had only been demoted by one rank.
In addition, all the soldiers in the army will be fined a year's salary.
Wang Ziteng's annual salary was only a few hundred taels of silver. To a noble family like the Wang Clan, it was simply a drop in the ocean.
As for the ordinary military officials who were implicated, they were out of luck.
The low-level military officials did not have such a solid family business.
They would often lose a year's salary.
It was enough to make these people unable to make a living.
He could only say.
The people above had lost the battle, and the people below had taken the blame.
However…
The Qinglong Emperor seemed to have expected this to happen.
He had the eunuch announce the imperial edict that he had drafted beforehand.
He didn't give Retired Emperor any face at all.
The eunuch stood on the jade steps with a flattering expression.
"Godly General Jia Ying has outstanding military achievements and is valiant and heroic. In this battle, he wiped out countless enemy cavalry and shocked the northern border, raising the prestige of our Great Qian Dynasty!”
"He is now a first-class uncle and a general of the Tiger Troop. He is in charge of the Northern and Southern Imperial Army and guards the Imperial City!”
"Ten thousand taels of gold, a hundred bolts of Shu embroidery…"
"I will also bestow him the title of 'World's Greatest Brave'!”
All the officials present were secretly envious.
Such a young First Uncle!
Wouldn't there be nothing to seal in the future?
If it wasn't for the fact that Jia Ying was too young.
He would probably be directly conferred the title of Marquis!
The other position was the general of the Tiger Troop. He was the Emperor's trusted aide and was ordered to guard the Imperial Palace. He led the imperial guards of the North and South Palace to protect the Imperial City. He was one of the few military officers who could walk around the Imperial Palace with a sword and armor.
If the emperor went on a tour.
They were all protected by Huben Zhonglang.
If there were any special circumstances.
The Tiger Troop Lieutenant General could even kill the person who charged into the Saint Emperor's carriage on the spot without reporting!
Everyone sighed in their hearts.
In order to win over Jia Ying.
The Qinglong Emperor had put in a lot of effort this time!
He even gave the command of the imperial guards of the northern and southern palaces to Jia Ying. This was truly unexpected!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After Jia Ying was slightly distracted, she hurriedly stepped forward to thank him and received the imperial edict.
It was also unexpected.
He had actually been appointed as the commander of the Tiger Troop.
In that case…
He probably didn't have to go to the north for the time being. He could stay in the capital and rest for a while.
On the other side.
Wang Ziteng saw that Jia Yingfeng had surpassed him in the limelight. He was so angry that his face turned ashen, but there was nothing he could do.
"Cough cough ~"
Retired Emperor Cheng De suddenly coughed lightly.
He interrupted the Qinglong Emperor.
The hall instantly fell silent.
Wang Ziteng's eyes lit up, and he was excited.
"Retired Emperor is finally going to make a move?”
