Chapter 374 The Emperor’s Temptation (Please Subscribe)

Jia Cong's new position was quickly confirmed, as the Commander-in-Chief of the Right Army Governor's Mansion.

Of course, it's just a false title without much real power, so it can be regarded as being hung up.

He had been mentally prepared for this, but he wasn't angry at all!

At this time, he naturally has the qualifications to attend the morning court.

This was a new experience since his rise. He had been busy suppressing bandits outside.

But speaking of it, it’s really embarrassing to say that the bandit suppresser became a third-grade official.

Fortunately, the battle in the southwest made up for his shortcomings in military performance.

At least when participating in the small court meeting, other courtiers did not dare to joke about this matter.

The first day I attended the Umrah meeting, I was a little excited at first.

However, when I really saw the scene of the Xiaochao meeting, my expectations disappeared immediately.

The originally expected heated scene of confrontation between civil and military forces and verbal conflicts did not appear.

I don't know what's going on. The military attachés are all in a state of silence. They all have different thoughts. I don't know what they are thinking.

On the other hand, the civil servants came out one by one to discuss matters in an orderly manner. Even if they had some different opinions, they would only have a small argument, and they would stop arguing after they made a decision.

Isn't this too harmonious?

Jia Cong was a little dumbfounded. Even when he was suppressing bandits, military discussions were much more intense than now.

Of course, it was his first time to participate in the Xiaochao meeting. He stood in the middle of the military attache queue and said nothing. He was still in the familiarization and adaptation stage.

In fact, the current emperor and several cabinet ministers were quite surprised that the small dynasty was so harmonious.

However, seeing the calm look of the military attache sequence, I knew better.

Originally, Jia Huan led the army to quell the chaos in the southwest, and the major wars in Daqian were basically over. Naturally, there was not much going on with the generals.

Also, some things don’t need to be stated so clearly.

After the court, Jia Cong wanted to leave with his fellow military generals, but was stopped by Dai Quan, the most trusted eunuch around him.

"I wonder what your Majesty's orders are for leaving the last general behind?"

After all the courtiers left, Jia Cong spoke directly.

"General Jia, what is the situation in the southwest?"

The current emperor didn't waste any time and asked directly: "General Jia Huan is staying there. What are the arrangements?"

When Fengshang met before, there were too many ministers around, making it difficult to communicate privately.

Now that Jia Cong has officially come to court, he will naturally not be polite.

I am naturally very curious about the situation in the southwest.

Although personnel from Jinyi Mansion and other intelligence agencies were dispatched, the information they had access to was limited, and the intelligence they collected was incomplete.

Now I want to find out what Jia Huan really thinks!

At the same time, I also want to know the specific division of territory allocated to many noble families.

Some things are much cheaper to know in advance than to bother to inquire about them later.

At least, the current emperor knows how much money, materials and troops can be provided to those territories controlled by noble families?

But if there are more than three thousand mortals and horses, that is an incredible power.

You know, these noble families all have military training inheritance.

The children of the family may not be very capable, but there is no problem in training a passable army according to the inheritance.

As long as you have soldiers in your hands, your voice can be louder. This is real confidence.

As for the noble forces, I think I can still deal with them now.

But now, after Jia Huan's troubles, he is now a little numb.

Of course, it's not that I'm afraid, I just think it's more troublesome to deal with.

In addition, Jia Huan's status is different at this time, and he himself is deeply involved. Now I want to find out his future thoughts.

Among other things, Jia Huan plays a real role as a military advisor in the offshore territories developed with Prince Zhongshun as the core. Today, I also want to know his specific thoughts on these offshore territories.

However, it can also be seen today that Jia Huan is obviously more interested in the southwest region!

Is your brain flooded?

I don’t understand now. The southwest is so remote and remote. How can there be any development prospects?

Nan'an County Prince's Mansion has been developing like this for hundreds of years. What changes will happen if Jia Huan is replaced?

Moreover, what Jia Huan captured was only the two states in the southwest, not the entire southwest region.

It is still a border state capital. Just dealing with small-scale harassment from neighboring countries will probably give it a headache, right?

Unless Jia Huan acts boldly and reaches out to the small southwestern country that borders the country, the future will be just like that.

But based on the experience of Prince Nan'an, Jia Huan didn't have that much courage and confidence.

Jia Cong didn't know that he had thought a lot in a short period of time, but he didn't reveal it in his expression.

He just pondered for a moment and then answered directly: "Your Majesty, General Jia Huan feels that the southwest has been initially settled, so he will stay there for a while and return north immediately after the southwest is completely stabilized!"

"Of course, this time we have obtained control of the two states from the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion. General Jia Huan will also spend some time arranging it and planning its development in the next few years!"

These things are not secrets, and there is no need to inquire carefully now.

"Have General Jia Huan said how many troops he plans to recruit in the two southwest states?"

Nowadays, it is not easy to fool around. Ask yourself directly about the issues you are most concerned about,

"We still need ten thousand horses!"

Jia Cong didn't hide anything and said directly: "The area of ​​those two states is not small, it can't be smaller!"

"With General Jia Huan's commanding ability, the combat effectiveness that can be exerted by even 10,000 soldiers and horses is quite powerful!"

Jin Jin laughed and joked: "Can the two southwest states support 10,000 horses?"

"Pretty tough!"

Jia Cong smiled bitterly and said: "But fortunately, we can do border trade. Although the small southwest country bordering it is barren, there are still many good things. Once transported to the prosperous areas of the Central Plains, they can be sold at high prices!"

Now I nodded to express my understanding, but I felt quite uncomfortable in my heart!

No matter what Jia Cong's mood is now, he will not hide it if he can tell it. As for what he can't tell, he doesn't know many things himself, so what can he say?

Currently, I am quite satisfied with his attitude and there is no obvious arrogance.

It is already quite rare for a young man like Jia Cong.

There is currently no intention of inviting Jia Cong to have a meal in the palace, so as not to arouse bad suspicions from the outside world.

The purpose of transferring Jia Cong back to the capital was to let him dry out, but it was not to make the young general popular, which would violate the original intention.

Jia Cong came out of the palace soon and was invited by a group of distinguished officials to speak to the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army.

As for what happened, everyone knew it well, and it was time to talk about it properly.
