Inside the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
The imperial banquet had just ended, and before Emperor Yong Xi could ask Jia Fu to stay, he had already left.
An unfamiliar figure suddenly barged into the hall."Your Majesty, the Retired Emperor has issued a decree to summon the Marquis of Huben.”
The person who had come was Dai Quan, the Palace Lord of the Great Ming Palace.
Emperor Yong Xi's face instantly darkened. He glanced at Jia Fou and said coldly,"Since the Retired Emperor has summoned you, you can go.”
"Yes."
Jia Rong left the Palace of Heavenly Purity and followed behind Dai Quan, arriving at an even more magnificent palace.
This was the Great Ming Palace, the political hub of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty.
"Retired Emperor!"
"Marquis Huben has arrived."
The Palace Lord Dai Quan respectfully reported.
"Oh?"
An old voice sounded in the hall.
An old man wearing a royal robe and a crown walked out.
Her skin was ruddy and had few wrinkles, giving her a youthful appearance.
When Jia Fou saw this, he also revealed a surprised expression.
If he didn't know that the Retired Emperor was already sixty-five years old, he would have thought that he was over fifty.
It seemed that the royal family's youth-preserving and health-preserving techniques were indeed unique.
"You are Jia Jing's son, Jia Xu?"
"Do you know who selected your father's Jinshi?”
"In the past, there was a crazy student who spoke nonsense during the court examinations. He said that if he wanted to pacify the border, he would first kill and annihilate the entire clan.”
"I admire his young and vigorous attitude, so I personally appointed him as a Jinshi of the Yimao Division.”
Hearing this, Jia Fu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. So the old man had such a nationalistic attitude when he was young. He really couldn't tell.
Honestly speaking, he did not really want to see the Retired Emperor at this time.
Because just a moment ago, Jia Kui had attended the imperial banquet that Emperor Yong Xi had personally bestowed upon him.
Now that he had come to the Great Ming Palace, wasn't it telling others that he was highly regarded by the Retired Emperor?
The conflict between Emperor Yong Xi and the Retired Emperor was already extremely sharp, so how could he give Jia Fou a good face by doing this?
"You're not bad."
"When we were your age, we only knew how to chase cats and beat dogs.”
"As long as you have the slightest decisiveness and boldness, the world will praise the two of us for our youth and bravery.”
"After thirty years, the Ning and Rong Manors have finally produced another Martial Merit.”
"Since I've seen you today, I'll give you this item to protect yourself.”
As he spoke, the Retired Emperor waved his hand, and a token fell in front of Jia Fou.
"Eh!"
Jia Cui was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do.
What was going on?
"Marquis Huben, why aren't you thanking me? The Retired Emperor wants to appoint you as the commander of the Royal Guards Army.”
Dai Quan, the Palace Lord of the Great Ming Palace, hurriedly reminded.
What was that?
Commander of the Royal Guards Army?
Jia Fu was even more confused. The Royal Guards only had one commander, a third rank official. The commander was an official position that did not take up a shift.
To put it bluntly, it was just a name, but there was no need to work.
"This token that Zhen has given you allows you to use the Royal Guards at critical moments.”
Perhaps he had guessed the doubt in Jia Fou's heart, the Retired Emperor added coldly.
In an instant.
"Thank you, Retired Emperor.”
What a joke!
A token that could call upon the Royal Guards, in addition to the commander of the Royal Guards.
This was extraordinary.
With this trump card, he could do whatever he wanted in the Divine Capital.
"Alright, the fourth brother is still waiting. I won't keep you.”
"Yes."
Jia Fou immediately left the Great Ming Palace.
As expected.
Su Peicheng, the Prime Minister of the Palace of Heavenly Purity, was waiting outside.
Seeing him come out, she quickly smiled and said,"Marquis Huben, His Majesty is waiting for you."
"Alright."
Jia Cui cursed.
Did this father and son's brains get squeezed by the door? They came one after another.
Didn't she know that others were tired after a day of toiling and needed to rest?
One deserved to die, and the other deserved to die early.
.........
A moment later.
Inside the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
After the banquet ended for an hour, everyone had left, leaving Emperor Yong Xi alone in the hall.
"Your Majesty."
Jia Fou bowed slightly and greeted.
Emperor Yong Xi looked at Jia Fou with a puzzled expression."Imperial Father called you over. Do you have any instructions?”
"Replying to Your Majesty, the Retired Emperor has bestowed the token of the Royal Guards Army and made me the commander of the capital.”
Jia Fou replied without hesitation.
There were spies everywhere in the palace, and this kind of thing could not be covered up at all.
Even if he didn't say it, the Retired Emperor would have ordered people to spread the news.
He might as well confess himself, and still end up looking honest and sincere.
"Oh?"
Hearing this.
Emperor Yong Xi's expression changed slightly as he continued,"The Jia family has two dukes.”
"The late Duke of Rong, Jia Daishan, and the first-class uncle of Ningguo Prefecture, Jia Fu, died in the battle of Yuancong.”
"We and the Great Gan have never forgotten, and we dare not forget!”
"In this battle, you have made such a great contribution. The ancestors of the Jia family will definitely be happy in the afterlife.”
"I have high hopes for you. In the future, when we go north to chase the prisoners, I hope that you will be as invincible as you are today.”
"I will not be valued by Your Majesty."
Immediately after.
Su Peicheng, the Prime Minister of the Palace of Heavenly Purity, had taken out an imperial edict.
" By the will of the heavens, the Emperor has issued an edict saying: Today, there is a son of the Jia family who is loyal and patriotic. He is diligent in defending the border. He is specially appointed as the Tiger General and will lead 3,000 cavalry to guard the capital.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Jia Fu immediately stepped forward to receive the imperial edict and commander's seal.
"It's getting late. I think those relatives in your family should miss you very much. If there's nothing else, you can leave.”
Emperor Yong Xi waved his hand, indicating that he wanted to drive them away.
"Yes."
Jia Fou ignored him and turned to leave the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
A middle-aged man in black appeared in a corner of the hall.
"What does Mister think of this child?"
Emperor Yong Xi looked at Wu Si with a solemn expression.
Right now, he really didn't have any key figures that he could take out.
The Di son of the Jia family, the Marquis of Huben, Jia Chi, was extremely suitable.
"Gui one foot two inches with Zan, used to sacrifice to the ancestral temple, is called a sacrifice.”
"Your Majesty, although this child is young, his thoughts are deep. I'm afraid he won't be easy to listen to.”
"With this sharp blade, you might hurt yourself if you're not careful.”
Wu Sidao said meaningfully.
"Hmm?"
"Then let's wait and see."
Emperor Yong Xi frowned and said indifferently.
Three years had passed since he ascended the throne. Did he still care about these days?
No one was more patient than him.
