Chapter 191

Wu Youjue was also somewhat surprised.

But thinking about it carefully,

A few months ago, when Emperor Yongshun first promoted him to Viscount, he already had the intention of promoting him to Earl.

So this promotion to Earl was understandable.

Not to mention Jia Hui's own merit.

Being made an Earl or adding an Earl title was not a problem.

After all, he discovered a major treason case!

He stopped a huge crisis that might have been a coup against the Emperor!

Being made an Earl was not excessive at all!

If it weren't for the fact that Jia Hui was promoted to a third-rank official just yesterday,

He might have had to add another official position.

Or be promoted.

However, the positions were basically occupied.

It was not easy to move them lightly.

Otherwise, if there were vacancies, or if others were moved,

The promotion would be much smoother.

There was not much bickering.

However, Jia Hui's promotion this time was sudden.

I'm afraid there will be many voices in the court tomorrow.

With the Retired Emperor watching, it wouldn't be impossible for there to be twists and turns!

Regardless,

As of now,

It was definitely a great thing for Jia Hui.

Although titles don't have their own fiefs like they did a thousand years ago,

Only receiving a salary and a little money.

However, the huge improvement in social status and identity was still very powerful!

For example, when encountering officials of the same rank,

The situation of handling affairs is naturally decided by the person with the higher title.

In short, the benefits are unimaginable to ordinary people.

Jia Hui himself was a bit surprised.

And then, of course, he was happy.

As for being grateful to the Emperor?

That doesn't exist.

This is what I earned through my own efforts, why should I be grateful!

It's like a boss and an employee.

I worked for you and saved you from being driven off the stage, or even murdered by your subordinates; that's a heaven-defying merit.

It is only right for you to reward me.

Jia Hui felt at ease.

Just as he was thinking,

The man finished reading one imperial decree.

He dismounted and handed the decree to Jia Hui.

He said to Jia Hui and the others: "Don't rush, there is another imperial decree."

Jia Hui and the others continued to listen patiently.

The man took out a new imperial decree.

And continued to read.

"..."

Imperial decrees are generally divided into three types: edicts, systems, and commands.

An edict is issued to the world, and the court gazette is sent to all local areas, letting the common people know.

This one was still an edict.

The content of the imperial decree, translated into plain language, is:

Ordering Jia Hui, together with the Marquis of Yongping, Xu Lingyi,

To investigate the theft of the Military Commission supplies and the treason case!

And the Inner Guard and the Imperial City Division are both to cooperate in the investigation!

And bestowing the Shangfang Sword upon Jia Hui!

That is, the sword used by the Emperor himself.

A minister holding the Shangfang Sword has the power to execute first and report later, representing imperial power.

Seeing the sword is like seeing the Son of Heaven!

"Earl Wushuang, please receive the sword!"

Hearing this, Jia Hui received the sword with both hands and looked at it. "

The sword body had fine carvings, and the patterns were clear!

One side of the sword body was engraved with a soaring dragon, the other side was engraved with a spreading phoenix, and the sword body was also decorated with the Big Dipper, with the sword corresponding to the shape of the celestial phenomenon.

Jia Hui estimated that this was based on the worship of the Big Dipper, and also to commemorate the achievements of the sword-casting ancestor Ou Yezi.

Holding the Shangfang Sword tightly, Jia Hui immediately felt the deliciousness of immense power!

He noticed Liu Fang at the door looking at Jia Hui in terror!

Jia Hui didn't rush to deal with Liu Fang.

He first looked at this man who read the imperial decree: "Who is this honorable one?"

"I am Gu Qianfan, Deputy Commander of the Investigation Division of the Imperial City Division!"

Gu Qianfan bowed slightly and cupped his hands in salute!

Gu Qianfan!

Imperial City Division!

Hearing this name!

And this unit!

Jia Hui raised his eyebrows slightly.

The male lead of "A Dream of Splendor"!

In his memory,

This person has skills, looks, and wisdom; as the son of a powerful minister, he could have enjoyed the shade of his ancestors, but he fought his way out. He is ruthless to himself, strict with his subordinates, "One chief, one whip; don't be perfunctory, don't be greedy for life." His selfless and vigorous style of conduct earned him the name "Living Yama" among the people.

He met Zhao Paner while investigating the prophecy case in Qiantang.

As for the mobilization of the Imperial City Division,

Jia Hui was not surprised.

It is similar to the Embroidered Uniform Guard, belonging to the Emperor's private intelligence and assassination organization; the officials, soldiers, and personal attendants are all the Emperor's trusted claws and teeth, and their treatment has always been generous.

Because the Embroidered Uniform Guard is firmly held in the hands of the Retired Emperor,

Therefore, the Imperial City Division is more valued in the reign of Emperor Yongshun.

The most important duty is to investigate the situation in the military and prevent conspiracies and disturbances.

However, the reputation of the Imperial City Division is not good.

Because the Imperial City Division avoids the hostility of court officials,

It belongs to the type of being low in rank but high in power.
