"Wansui can be replenished elsewhere.”Dai Quan smiled and continued," Firstly, Jia Xuan didn't have much of a relationship with Rong Mansion. However, because of his filial piety, he was trapped in Rong Mansion. Secondly, Jia Xuan and Lin Ruhai did not make the marriage official because the Lady Dowager of Rong Mansion was afraid that there would be more trouble. Wansui could start from these two places, so he wasn't afraid that Jia Xuan wouldn't be grateful.”Dai Quan extended his orchid fingers and smiled.
"Mm, that can't be done either. The reward is too low. If it really chills the hearts of the people, it will be difficult to redeem it. If Jia Xuan can really assist me in achieving great things, I will not be stingy with the title of king.”Ever since the Great Zhou Dynasty established its dynasty, other than the four kings of the opposite sex when it was founded, no one else had been conferred the title of king. From this, it could be seen how much Emperor Long Xing valued Jia Xuan. And Dai Quan gave Jia Xuan a label that he could not afford to offend.
The next day, the Ninth Dynasty.
Emperor Long Xing sat high on the throne while the civil and military officials stood in two rows.
"The reason why I gathered everyone today is because there is a joyous matter. Dai Quan!"
Dai Quan hurriedly copied the battle report and distributed it to the various officials and generals. After the ministers read the report, their faces were filled with excitement. They thought to themselves, is this a joke?
As for the meritorious officials of Jingyuan, they were shocked. They did not think that Qin Liang would dare to lie to his superiors and make false claims about his military achievements. However, he did not dare to imagine that someone could do this. Was he also guessing that Jia Xuan's martial strength was really that terrifying? Even though it was said that the courage of a general was the strength of a soldier, how did he lead 30,000 people to kill the Luosha people until they collapsed?
"The Embroidered Guard has verified the truth of this battle. This time, he called all the ministers here to discuss how to reward them.”Just as everyone was still pondering, Emperor Long Xing said.
"Long live Chen Qi. If the report is true, then Jia Xuan has made such a great contribution. Be a marquis!" Li Guangdi came out of the class to report.
"I agree!" A few more civil officials said.
"I think that Jia Xuan, you should be conferred the title of Duke for your extraordinary achievements.？”Niu Jizong came out of the class to report.
"Jia Xuan is too young. It's better to suppress him. Staying in a high position during the day might not be a good thing for him.”Li Guangdi refuted.
Just as Jia Xuan was giving out rewards. Because of the Grand Court Meeting, Jia Zheng was a fifth-grade official, so he had also come. He just stood outside the hall. At this moment, he felt bad. Why wasn't that Jia Xuan his son? He couldn't help but feel jealous of Jia She.
The palace chief was still arguing." Dear ministers, what you said makes sense. Stop arguing. Dai Quan, pass on the decree.”Emperor Long Xing said.
His Highness 'ministers thought, Since you've already come to a conclusion, why are you still asking us? Why don't you just announce it directly?
"Your Majesty has decreed that Jia Xuan, a first-class son of the Northern Battlefront General, has repeatedly made extraordinary contributions. He is now a first-class Northern Battlefront Marquis and is granted a Northern Battlefront Marquis Mansion. The rest of the officers and men were rewarded by the Ministry of War. Respect this!" Dai Quan stood on the steps and read aloud.
Niu Jizong was overjoyed when he heard that. His son could at least become a baron this time. Anyone who had a son to follow Jia Xuan on the expedition had a happy expression on their face.
" The old lady has an angel to deliver the decree."”
The old lady was shocked, but she did not know what was going on. She hurriedly said," Open the middle door and set up the incense table!"”
Everyone in the Jia family was wearing big makeup and kneeling in the courtyard. After listening to the announcement of the Little Yellow Gate, their expressions were different. Grandmother Jia's mood was complicated. She had thought that with Jia Xuan supporting the Rong Mansion, her Baoyu would be able to enjoy wealth and everything in the mansion would belong to Baoyu sooner or later. Unexpectedly, this grandson had become so successful that he had actually been conferred the title of Marquis and opened his own residence. This meant that although Jia Xuan was a bastard son, he was already considered to be in charge of his own family and would definitely be separated from Rong Mansion. This was not good news for Rong Mansion.
"Congratulations, Old Feng Jun! Your family has a qilin son. The manor that Wansui had given him was located on Buzheng Street not far away. It was originally the manor of an old king who had committed a crime. Wansui had decreed that there was no need for any changes. The Marquis could just move in directly after he returned. It can be seen how much Wansui hopes for Lord Marquis." The man from the Little Yellow Sect said with a smile.
Wang Xifeng quickly took out a purse. "Eunuch, take it and drink some tea.”
The little yellow man weighed the pouch and found that it was very light. "Then I won't disturb your residence anymore. I'll go back and report.”
"Take care, Gonggong." Wang Xifeng smiled apologetically.
Madam Wang heaved a sigh of relief. This bastard was finally separated. Grandmother Jia looked at Madam Wang's expression and cursed this greedy and brainless woman in her heart. With Jia Xuan's departure, the Rong Mansion returned to its original state of desolation. Although there was still Jia Xuan's face, it was not as useful as staying in the mansion.
Although Jia She was happy, he felt like he had lost a son. Madam Xing could not deny it. Anyway, whether Jia Xuan left the residence or not, it was the same to her. She couldn't get any of Jia Xuan's glory.
The sisters were happy for Jia Xuan. Even if they got married, they would be of help in the future.
Lin Daiyu was happy in her heart. When she heard that Jia Xuan was safe, she finally felt relieved. Thinking of what Jia Xuan had said before he set off, her face flushed red. The sisters were confused, but Baochai was deep in thought.
But Wang Xifeng thought that this time she would stick to Jia Xuan even more. This was good for her and Jia Lian.
"Congratulations, Old Ancestor. Congratulations, Old Ancestor. Our family has a Marquis. In the future, he might even be conferred the title of Duke. Old Ancestor, you have to invite the host." Wang Xifeng joked.
"You monkey, you only care about my little body! Alright, I'll pay for the banquet.”Grandmother Jia said with a smile. No matter what, it was her grandson who was promising. Grandmother Jia was still happy from the bottom of her heart.
In Black Liao City, Qin Liang and Jia Xuan looked at the ruined city below them. "This damned Russian!" Yang Fang cursed.
Because Black Liao City was a military town, there were very few civilians. Most of them were family members of soldiers. Even so, this tragic scene was still shocking.
After repairing Black Liao City and leaving behind 50,000 troops, Jia Xuan and the others returned to the North Sea Camp. The reinforcements from all sides had arrived. The total number of soldiers was about 400,000. Although these were some local armies, they could still produce about 200,000 to 300,000 elite soldiers after training. It was enough to guard the North Sea.
Just as the new recruits were being trained in the Beihai Camp, someone came to report that there was an imperial edict. Due to the long journey, he had wasted a lot of time. It was already the 21st of the first month. It had been more than a month since Jia Xuan had left for the expedition.
