Chapter 425 Death
On the second day after returning to the capital, under Jia Wei's manipulation, Emperor Xuanwu also began to reward the generals who suppressed the rebellion and smoothly transitioned the important affairs of the court.

Jia Wei, the commander-in-chief of the anti-rebel army, was promoted to Jiedushi of the Beijing Camp and given the title of Minister of War.

As for Li Duolong, the former commander of the Beijing Camp, he was promoted by Jia Wei to be the commander of nine provinces and to inspect the border.

At this point, Jia Wei has completely taken control of Shenjing!

Needless to say, the Jinyiwei and Longjinwei are all his direct subordinates, and they can also influence the Dongchang through Dai Quan.

For example, the two former military governors of the Beijing Camp, Wang Ziteng and Li Duolong, were unable to control the arrogant and powerful generals of the Beijing Camp.

But Jia Wei is different. After the great war against rebellion, he has spread his influence to six of the twelve camps in the capital. It is only a matter of time before he controls the remaining half of the troops.

The Left Deputy General and First-Class Bo Niu Jizon was promoted to the Commander-in-Chief of the Beijing Camp Military Affairs.

There was no promotion in his title. Although there was only one level difference between the first-class earl and the third-class marquis, there was a huge gap between them. If Niu Jizong was the commander-in-chief of the army to suppress the rebellion, his merit would be enough to be awarded the title of marquis.

The rest of the generals were all rewarded, most of them were the founding military heroes of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes. Although Jia Wei has now returned to his ancestral home, he still inherited the Jia family's love for the family. In addition, given the current situation, he is supported by the founding military heroes.

There are rewards and punishments. Wang Ziteng was not effective in the war, so he was directly dismissed from office and left at home. If he wants to make a comeback in the future, he can only wait for a few years until the situation is calm, and he also needs the support of Jia Wei...

Jia Zheng was rehabilitated and acquitted of the crime of treason, but was only punished by being dismissed from his post. However, Jia She was found guilty and sentenced to exile.

The rest of the Rongguo Mansion's family members were all released from prison by imperial decree. Now that the Rongguo Mansion has been ransacked, these people have no place to live.

It was Daiyu who stepped in and allocated three courtyards at the rear of the Rongguo Mansion for Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing and other family members from the West Mansion to live in - before this, Jia Wei had already handed over the West Mansion, its properties and wealth, as well as most of his private property, to Daiyu for management and control.

This was also an opportunity for Jia Wei to let Daiyu repay the Rongguo Mansion for raising her.

Now that Jia Wei has acknowledged his ancestry, Xichun should live with Jia Mu and others. However, Jia Wei has said that the four sisters Yuan, Ying, Tan, and Xi should live in the palace. Jia Mu and others certainly dare not say anything...

Today, Baoyu comes out of prison and learns that Daiyu has long been married to Jia Wei. Shocked and sad, he becomes hysterical again, casting a cloud over Jia's mother's courtyard...

Three days later, the empress dowager issued an edict to hold a ceremony to crown Jia Wei as a king in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, granting him the seal of the title and the document of enthronement in public. Only then did Jia Wei become a legitimate prince of the Chen Han royal family.

On the same day, the Ministry of Rites also issued a document to confer the title of Princess of a County on Baochai and the title of concubine on Daiyu, leaving the other concubine position vacant.

Lanterns were hung high in the garden. Ding Baiying followed behind Jia Wei and said jokingly, "My master didn't treat the bowl of water evenly."

"This is a difficult matter!" Jia Wei put his arm around her shoulders and shook his head, "Sister Lin wasn't angry during the day, was she?"

Ding Baiying smiled and said, "No, Miss Lin has a good temper and she even helped to coax Miss Baoqin."

"What's Guan Baoqin about?"

Ding Baiying pursed her lips and laughed: "Master, don't you know Miss Baoqin's mind? She is a proper lady who has been wronged by being your concubine, so she is counting on this position of concubine... But Master wants to please Miss Lin, so he would rather leave it empty than give it to her."

Jia Wei shook his head slightly after hearing this: "What is her position? If this concubine is not vacant, it can only be given to you."

"My Lord has pleased me again!" Ding Baiying said with a smile, and suddenly sighed, "It's a pity for Miss Lin. She fell behind at the beginning and then fell behind step by step."

Ding Baiying understood Jia Wei's thoughts and knew that he had similar feelings towards Baochai and Daiyu, and even favored Daiyu more. It was just that Baochai was a few years older and married first, so she had the upper hand.

Now she is the Princess of a County, then she will be the Princess of a Prince, or even...

Jia Wei sighed. He couldn't possibly create two queens, one for the East and one for the West, right? Not only was this inappropriate in terms of etiquette, but his forceful intervention in the bipolar balance of the harem undoubtedly created an opposition between Dai and Chai, and he was laying a minefield for his own harem...

Suddenly Jia Wei grabbed Ding Baiying's chin and asked, "What crime should you be punished for stirring up trouble in the palace?"

If other people talked about Baoqin's thoughts and the invisible conflict between Chai and Dai, Jia Wei would definitely think too much.

Ding Baiying smiled coquettishly and leaned towards Jia Wei, "Your Majesty, please punish me." Jia Wei slapped her on the back.

"I'll take care of you next time!"

Having just owed Daiyu, Jia Wei must go to Xiaoxiang Pavilion tonight to make it up to her.

Daiyu couldn't bear it in the first place, and if Jia Wei had sex with Ding Baiying first, she would be even more unable to withstand it.

After strolling leisurely along the way, they arrived at Xiaoxiang Pavilion. After washing up, Jia Wei carried Daiyu to the couch...

Lin Daiyu is made of water.

In the following days, the city of Shenjing gradually became stable. When Jia Wei had some free time, he chose an auspicious day to perform rituals on Xiangling and Qingwen, his two closest maids.

Xiangling was born with a good-looking appearance, and after she opened her face, she became even more outstanding. She was gentle and quiet in her behavior, and other masters and girls of similar appearance could not compare to her, so she became more and more favored by Jia Wei.

As for Qingwen, she was still noisy and the little girl hadn't changed her nature.

……

Half a month later, on the third day of the eleventh month of the tenth year of Xuanwu, at the time of Dinghai, Emperor Xuanwu urgently summoned Prince Rong'an, Chief Minister Fan Yin, and Cabinet Ministers Liu Wenzhen and Lin Ruhai to the palace to instruct them in person on the important matter of succession.

That night, the emperor died in the Yangxin Palace at the age of twenty-five.

During the national mourning period, Jia Wei slept on the dragon bed at night and had sex with Queen Zhou.

Emperor Xuanwu had only one son, so the succession to the throne was smooth. During the national mourning, on September 19th, the young ruler, who was less than one year old, became emperor and was enthroned in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Empress Dowager Guo was honored as the Grand Empress Dowager, and Empress Zhou was given the title of Cisi Empress Dowager. The two of them ruled the country from behind the curtain until the young emperor took power.

Under Jia Wei's strong push, the cabinet drafted a proposal, the Imperial Household Department approved it, and it was decided that the young emperor's reign title would be Zhaoning, and the next year would be the first year of Zhaoning.

For the next period of time, the only important matter in the court was to give the late emperor a temple name and posthumous title.

The cabinet decided to give Emperor Xuanwu the temple name Shenzong and the posthumous title Yin.

Emperor Shenzong, praised him in public but criticized him in reality.

The hidden emperor is called hidden because he does not show his power in the country. He is called hidden because he cannot complete the task. He is called hidden because he does not hold the position.

All of them are intended to satirize Emperor Xuanwu, but in reality, most of the Xuanwu period was spent in the chaos caused by Wei Ao, and Emperor Xuanwu was in power for only two years, so it is more appropriate to call him Emperor Shenzong.

But Jia Wei proposed that the temple name be Ruizong and the posthumous name be Min.

This raised the issue to several levels, and of course the court officials were talking about it.

Now that Jia Wei has complete control over the harem and the Imperial Household Department, and with Lin Ruhai as his cornerstone in the cabinet, he is fully capable of pushing this matter forward in a forceful manner.

But Jia Wei put it aside for the time being and waited for the situation to develop.

It seemed like it was a discussion about the merits and demerits of Emperor Xuanwu, but now that the cabinet headed by civil officials had a conflict with Jia Wei, things became very serious.

Jia Wei wanted to take this opportunity to make the court officials take sides so that he could develop his power and suppress dissidents.

On the ninth day of the twelfth month, it was decided what the late emperor would be named after after his death: Emperor Min, Ruizong of Han.

The next day, cabinet minister and Minister of War Liu Wenzhen retired.
