After several months of fighting, the war reports were sent to the capital one by one.

Looking at these battle reports, the ministers of civil and military affairs in the court also quarreled because of the issue of rewarding their military exploits.

The reason for this is because of Jia Cong.

If Jia Cong is a meritorious service alone, it will be enough, and it will be suppressed and not sealed.

However, these military exploits were all made by Jia Cong and other generals, if this is not Jia Cong, then others will not be sealed?

If you don't reward the meritorious service, this will definitely not work, every part of this battle merit is fought for your life, if you don't reward it, who will still work for you in the future.

Then everyone else has been sealed, but Jia Cong is not sealed, so it can't be said, after all, they are all made together.

The ministers quarreled back and forth, but there was no result.

Emperor Longqing is also a little big about this.

Jia Cong can make great contributions to the country, which is a good thing, and as for the reward, it is actually not too difficult.

The key is that Jia Cong is too young, only thirteen years old this year.

A thirteen-year-old boy in a high position, most of the ministers had to salute him when they saw him, which was unacceptable to everyone.

Hu Yong said: "Your Majesty, now that the war is not over, you can delay the reward time, and after the war is over, it is not too late to award the reward together." ”

"What Shousuke-sama said is that after the war is over, we will discuss the merits and rewards together,"

"Your Majesty, Jia Cong is so young, he has shown great military talent, the country should try to protect it, it is too dangerous to go to the battlefield at a young age.

The minister suggested that he be transferred back to the capital, carefully cultivated, learned literature and martial arts, and when he became an adult, it was not too late to let him go to the battlefield. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, let's call Jia Cong back to the capital, it's too dangerous outside, a child is outside, it's really unreassuring."

When Niu Jizong heard this, he almost didn't laugh.

These shameless old people, this is afraid that Jia Cong will make military merits again, and they are in a hurry to get him back, and they really have come up with any tricks.

Niu Jizong didn't speak for Jia Cong, he also felt that Jia Cong was too popular, and it was good to come back appropriately to avoid risks, after all, he was still young, and there would be opportunities in the future, so as not to be targeted by these old people all day long.

Niu Jizong was also a little puzzled, Jia Cong, this kid, why is he so capable?

I have lived most of my life, and I don't have a decent military exploit that is worth showing off.

This kid is good, take out one random piece, it's enough to boast for a lifetime.

Could it be that this kid was born to fight?

"Report, Liaodong 800 miles rushed to send good news, the barbarians have retreated, we won."

The originally chaotic court instantly quieted down, and everyone looked at the door of the main hall in unison.

Emperor Longqing was overjoyed when he heard this, and said loudly: "Quickly present the good news and let me take a look." ”

Dai Quan hurriedly ran down, took the good news, and sent it to Emperor Longqing.

After reading it, Emperor Longqing said happily: "The barbarians have been unable to attack for a long time, suffered heavy casualties, and are unable to fight again, coupled with the recurrence of Hongtai's old injuries, and there is turmoil on the grassland, so they hurriedly retreated."

Ladies and gentlemen, now that the war is over, the matter of this reward cannot be delayed any longer, so as not to chill the hearts of the soldiers, so let's discuss it well. ”

The court, which had just calmed down, was lively again.

After some heated debate, it was finally decided to reward the meritorious personnel.

Jia Cong was promoted to a third-rank general, and other military merits were temporarily accumulated, and he was rewarded after returning to Beijing.

Wang Ziteng commanded the army to win the victory, and Emperor Longqing originally wanted to reward him well, but the ministers have been opposed.

The reason is also very simple, although the battle was won, it was the enemy who retreated on his own initiative, and there were several reasons, strictly speaking, the enemy was not defeated.

As the envoy of Liaodong Jiedu, it is his duty to keep the city under his jurisdiction, and it can only be said that he has done his duty, and he can't talk about any great achievements at all.

In this war, all other soldiers who made meritorious contributions were also rewarded for their meritorious deeds.

Niu Jizong said: "Your Majesty, is it okay to transfer Jia Cong back to Beijing to accept the reward?" ”

"Your Majesty, no, now that the war has just ended, and our soldiers have lost a lot, it is the time to employ people, how can Jia Cong be transferred back to Beijing at this time?"

Niu Jizong said suspiciously: "Didn't the adults just now propose to protect Jia Cong, transfer Jia Cong back to the capital, and cultivate him well?" Did I hear it wrong? ”

"Hmph, at this time and that time, now that the war is over, there is no danger in staying in Liaodong, the environment there is harsh, just to hone the will of young people, and it is more suitable for young people."

Niu Jizong is completely convinced of these literati, which is his reason.

He can see that these people don't want Jia Cong to return to Beijing to be sealed at all, and they will definitely not let him return to the capital easily, and they can't wait to let him stay in Liaodong forever.

······

Jia Zheng returned home from the yamen, thinking about some news he heard in the yamen, and came to Jia's mother's room.

Daiyu, Tanchun and other juniors hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Jia Baoyu was startled when he saw his Lao Tzu coming, and hurriedly stood up to greet Jia Zheng.

When Mother Jia saw this little son come in, she was a little puzzled, "Why are you here?" But what's the matter? ”

Jia Zhengdao: "Mother, I heard some news in the yamen today, it was about Brother Cong, and I came to tell you. ”

Jia Mu said puzzledly: "Didn't Brother Cong fight in Liaodong?" What does it have to do with him? ”

When Lin Daiyu, Xichun and the others heard this, they couldn't help but be a little worried, they didn't know what was going on, they looked at Jia Zheng together, waiting for him to explain.

Jia Zhengdao: "I heard from my colleagues in the yamen that Brother Cong made too many contributions in this war, and the adults in the court deliberately suppressed his merits and did not let him be promoted, but only made a general, saying that when he returned to Beijing, he would be rewarded." ”

During this time, there were often good news reports to the capital, almost every time there were Brother Cong, and there were also many well-informed relatives who came to report the good news.

It's just that I didn't expect that the adults in the court would join forces to boycott it, what a big credit for this?

Brother Cong'er, this kid is really a good skill, in this year's time, he has continued to make achievements, but he has suffered too young.

"This matter, since the court has decided on it, we can't use our strength, Brother Cong is still too young, you discuss it with the boss, send a letter to Brother Cong, and remind him.

Let him be more leisurely on the battlefield in the future, don't be too desperate, or focus on his own safety, as for the credit, there will be opportunities later, don't be too anxious, and save being suppressed everywhere. ”

Jia Zhengdao: "What my mother said is that those people are afraid of Brother Cong'er's meritorious service, saying that it is to protect him, so that His Majesty can transfer him back to the capital and train him well. ”

Jia Mu "snorted" and said: "These literati are shameless, in order to achieve their goals, black can be said to be white, good or bad are in their mouths, and the truth is all up to them." ”

Jia Zheng listened to it, although he felt that it was very reasonable, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, is it good that he is also a literati, didn't the old lady scold himself when he said this?

When Jia's mother looked at him, she couldn't help but shake her head, she knew exactly what kind of temperament her son had.

"You are different from them, you are a real literati, they are not strictly speaking, they are no longer literati, but a politician, and you are simply a saint compared to them."

Jia Zheng was stunned when he heard this, I am a saint? Jia Sage? False saints?

Is this a compliment to me? Or scold me? Forget it, I'd better go.

"Mother, I'll tell my eldest brother what you mean."

After Jia Zheng left, these juniors became active.

Xichun frowned, "hummed" and said: "It's really bad for some people, my brother is fighting for them outside, but they gang up to bully my brother, it's really annoying." ”

Lin Daiyu said: "As long as Brother Cong is safe and sound, we can't help with these things, and we will deal with them when he returns." ”

"This star really wants to retire"

Tanchun said: "Since ancient times, the civil and military have been discordant, opposing each other, and the Song Dynasty was even more civilian, except for the high status of the military generals during the founding of the country, and when the country is peaceful, it will be dominated by literati, so these literati do not want the status of the military generals to be too high." ”

Mother Jia smiled: "The third girl has some knowledge, much better than your brothers, but unfortunately she gave birth to a daughter." ”

Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "The third sister is compared to Mulan, and she wants to be a heroine." ”

Tanchun was white like Lin Daiyu, and said with a smile: "I want to be a heroine, but I don't have a good brother to teach me to practice kung fu, so I can't help it!" ”

When Lin Daiyu heard this, her face flushed slightly, but her heart was sweet.

With so many sisters, Brother Cong only taught me to practice martial arts alone, and I am the only one.

glared at Tanchun, and scolded with a smile: "Phew, talk to me again, your good brother didn't teach you, didn't I have a good sister to teach you?" Who do you have to rely on yourself?

If you put in a little more effort, maybe you can follow your third brother into battle to kill the enemy and become a real heroine? ”

When my mother heard this, not only was she a little crying and laughing, but these little girls really dared to think about it.

"You can pull it down, the soldiers on the battlefield are fierce, it's not a good place, you are all daughters, you have been clothed and fed since you were a child, but you can't stand that suffering.

Those who are soldiers don't take a shower for a few months, and when there are too many people, the smell of sweat alone can stun you, let alone fight, you think about it, can you really stand that environment? ”

When several little girls thought of that scene, they felt unbearable, their faces turned pale with fright, and they hurriedly shook their heads together.

Xichun said: "Old lady, is it really like what you said in the army?" That Qingwen and Han Nianci followed their brother, how could they stand it, wasn't that brother also very uncomfortable? ”

Jia Mu said: "Can this still be fake? Grandpa Guo led the troops back then, Lao Rongguo Gong and Ning Guogong also led the troops, and my father also led the troops at that time, so I know much more about this than you.

However, those of them who lead the soldiers are definitely different from the soldiers, the conditions are much better, Brother Cong has a separate camp, and he will not live with the soldiers, so you don't have to worry. ”

Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "Brother Cong doesn't live in the barracks, saying that there is a three-entry courtyard in Guangning, and he takes Qingwen and Han Nianci and others to live in the big courtyard outside, but he goes to the barracks every morning, trains there for a morning, and doesn't go in the afternoon." ”

Jia Mu shook her head and smiled: "Thinking about Brother Cong'er's temperament, you know that he is not the kind of person who follows the rules, how can he honestly live in the barracks?"

Qingwen I've seen it, it's a neat character, I used to follow Mama Lai, the Han Nianci you talked about shouldn't have come to me, I don't have any impression of her, what kind of person is she? ”

Lin Daiyu said: "Old lady, that Han Nianci was bought by Brother Cong in the market, his family runs a pharmacy, he has medical skills since elementary school, he is a female doctor, and he has been following Brother Cong to study medical skills in Zhuangzi. ”

Xichun smiled and said, "Old lady, my brother said that he wanted to train her to be a goddess doctor." ”

Jia Mu smiled: "That's a good thing, we don't have to go outside to ask for a doctor in the future, how is this person's medical skills?" How old is it? ”

Lin Daiyu said: "Sister Ping'er is about the same age, as for her medical skills, I don't know, but Brother Cong found her a lot of medical books." ”

Mother Jia said: "Brother Cong'er is fighting outside, and there is a doctor by his side, which is a good thing, so that we can rest assured, this child is quite well prepared, like a big thing, and when he comes back, it is estimated that we will have more grandfathers in our family." ”

When the sisters heard this, they were also very happy in their hearts.

Xichun said worriedly: "Old lady, what if they don't let my brother come back?" ”

For this, Jia Mu is not worried at all, that kid is not a loser, if he is not allowed to come back, maybe something will happen?

Judging from the current situation, these people don't want him to make meritorious contributions, and as long as the war resumes, they will definitely get him back.

Otherwise, making a big contribution is not what they want to see.

Jia Mu smiled: "What kind of heart do you have to bear this girl, just rely on your brother's tossing temperament, if he wants to come back, there is a way to come back, we don't need to worry about him, it is estimated that he also wants to stay outside for a few years and increase his qualifications." ”

Xichun sighed and said, "Hey, how good it is to be at home, I don't know when my brother will come back, I miss him a little." ”

Mother Jia knew in her heart that in a situation like Jia Cong, once she returned to Beijing to be sealed, it was estimated that it would be difficult to have a chance to go out.

It's not just these civil officials who don't want him to go any further.

Even the emperor doesn't want him to make any more meritorious contributions, and if he makes great contributions, he will have to be knighted, which is definitely not what the emperor wants to see.

There are only four county kings with different surnames in the entire Great Chu, and they were still sealed during the founding of the country, and absolutely no one wants to see one more.

Jia Mu is already very happy to be crowned a marquis, and the Jia family has returned to the ranks of top nobles and is a real nobleman in the capital.
