When he promoted Zhang Han, Zhu Ben and Jia Taisui, His Majesty was not so talkative.
And it sounds like this means that Li Changkong has been cultivated as a pillar of the future, otherwise he would never be able to say such a thing.
This kind of treatment, regardless of martial arts, is probably the best among the young generation in Daqian!
With His Majesty's trust, Li Changkong and His Royal Highness have an irreversible relationship. Their achievements in the future are probably... limitless!
At this time, I am afraid that everyone will praise, Li Zhufeng gave birth to a good son!
Li Changkong alone can keep the Wuling Hou Mansion alive for three generations!
From now on, who else dares to underestimate the Li family?
A few months ago, the Li family was still in decline, and even some powerful earls dared to challenge it.
But now the Li family is afraid of the Duke's Palace and does not dare to offend too much.
Most of these are because of Li Changkong!
What more could a father ask for when he has such a son?
"Okay, Changkong, come over here and step forward to hear the seal."
"promise!"
Li Changkong answered and moved forward.
"Since you want to do your best for the country, use your talents and go north to fight against the Yuan Dynasty!"
"How can I be wrong?"
"I am here to promote you to the fifth rank, General Anbei!"
"He also serves as the deputy commander of the Yulin Army. He is in charge of the Qianlong, Xiaofeng, and Pojun battalions. He is under the jurisdiction of Ji Ling, the President of the Yulin Army."
"I hope you can do your best, show your ambitions, and stabilize our northern territory."
"If we can destroy Bei Yuan, it will be an unparalleled feat!"
As soon as this statement came out, all the civil and military officials present were dumbfounded.
For a moment, the entire court was silent and speechless.
However, before the civil and military officials could recover from the shock, Emperor Jing Xing spoke again: "In addition, Li Changkong was granted the title of Anbei Bo, which is not hereditary, as a reward."
As soon as this statement came out, it was another sledgehammer that hit the hearts of all civil and military officials.
Good guy, I’ve only heard of misfortunes coming one after another.
Who would have thought that such a great thing could happen again and again.
Forget it if he is promoted to General Anbei of the fifth rank. After all, being appointed a fifth-rank official is a result that most officials can expect.
At Li Changkong's age, it is indeed not easy to reach the fifth level.
But... General Anbei does not have military power before there is a war!
Military power is unified and deployed by the Ministry of War!
Therefore, when there is no war, General Anbei is actually a useless person.
But the deputy commander of the Royal Forest Army is different. Although his official position is only from the fifth rank, the Royal Forest Army is a forbidden army!
It is the only army in the entire Qiandu city that is not coordinated and dispatched by the Ministry of War, but only obeys the emperor's orders!
Moreover, His Majesty also specially gave Li Changkong the command of the Qianlong, Xiaofeng, and Pojun battalions. You must know that these three battalions are elites competing against each other!
In other words, after this battle, Li Changkong already has tens of thousands of elite Forbidden Forces under his command!
Moreover, among the Forbidden Army, there is basically one person below one person and above ten thousand people.
He only needs to listen to the orders of the commander-in-chief Ji Ling, but Ji Ling is a martial arts fanatic. He only focuses on practicing martial arts on weekdays. He is not much different from Jia Taisui. What restraint can such a person have on Li Changkong?
Your Majesty, isn't this equivalent to giving away half of the Imperial Army?
Ordinary officials were fine, and at most they could express emotion at the emperor's regard for Li Changkong, but the people from King Jing's party didn't think so!
You know, Li Changkong is from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
Everyone knows this!
By doing this, isn't your Majesty suppressing King Jing and giving the prince more power?
With half of the imperial army in hand, the prince now has the power. Even if King Jing is famous and there are many party members in the court, what can he do?
If something really happened, the total number of gangsters in the DPRK would not be enough to defeat one Qianlong battalion, not to mention the Xiaofeng and Pojun battalions.
What's more, it is speculated that Emperor Jing Xing did it on purpose!
Although Li Changkong's meritorious service is high this time, it is not worthy of being canonized like this.
In order to balance the power between the Crown Prince and King Jing, His Majesty also felt that Li Changkong was indeed talented and capable of taking on big responsibilities, so he made special promotions one after another.
After all, in the past nearly two months, the prince had encountered obstacles in the court and had hardly cultivated many of his own party members.
If this waits until King Jing's ban ends, there will be no fight.
Therefore, His Majesty went out personally to increase the bargaining chip for the Prince.
It seems... His Majesty is still close to this legitimate son from the bottom of his heart.
Many officials of King Jing's party sighed silently in their hearts for King Jing, and at the same time felt a little worried about their own future.
The military commanders and nobles had different ideas from them. The military commanders were relatively pure and did not think too much. They only noticed one thing: Your Majesty named Li Changkong An Beibei!
This is the first person among the noble disciples to be knighted!
And the title is not low, it is earl level!
Although there are many gimmicks, this earl title cannot be hereditary and does not even have a fief. At most, it has a symbolic meaning.
But even so, he is still a count!
Some people are busy all their lives, going through life and death on the battlefield, and in the end they become a count!
For example, the Duke of Ducheng, who had a quarrel with the Li family back then, could be said to be the best among the earls due to his position as earl.
Not only can it be hereditary, but the fiefdom is good enough!
Even an ordinary marquis cannot compare.
But no matter how powerful he is, he is still a count! On the same level as Li Changkong!
How old is he? How old is Li Changkong?
Besides, Uncle Ducheng has basically been set in stone for this life. He will have very few chances to make meritorious deeds on the battlefield in the future.
As for Li Changkong, if nothing else, after the prince ascends the throne, he will be indispensable.
Moreover, Jia Taisui, Zhang Han, Zhu Ben and other young talents among the noble disciples all followed him.
There are countless opportunities to make meritorious deeds in the future.
Furthermore, to put it another way, even if Li Changkong wasted most of his life, he would not have accomplished much.
He also has the title of Marquis of Wuling to inherit!
After all, Li Zhufeng's title was serious and truly hereditary.
But Li Changkong is already Uncle Anbei, how can he add the title of Marquis of Wuling?
Therefore, the imperial court will definitely take back one of them. It will definitely not be in vain, there will be compensation!
Normally, the most common compensation is to upgrade your title!
A marquis cannot be promoted to a duke, but the fief area can be increased!
Marquises are also divided into different grades. The larger the fiefdom, the higher the grade!
If Li Changkong exchanges his position as Earl of Anbei for a new fiefdom, he will probably be the only one among the marquises.
In terms of status, among all the noble officials, he should be only under the Dukes of Zhongshan and Zhang Xun.
And these are based on the fact that Li Changkong will no longer perform meritorious services and An Beibo's level will no longer rise. He has already achieved such achievements.
It simply exceeds what most honorable nobles pursue in their lifetime!
This person's future future is simply...cannot be described as bright, it is simply reaching the pinnacle!
