Chapter 32
Finally, the only basic consensus was.
The reward for Jia Hui was at least to skip the four ranks of Auxiliary State General equivalent to a second-rank military official and the first-rank General of State Defense!
At least confer a Supra-Rank Baron!
Because Jia Hui's merit was truly too huge!
Beheading the general!
Seizing the flag!
Breaking the army!
Slaughtering over ten thousand enemies, including thousands of the most fierce and irresistible Tatars!
And lifted the siege of Dingyuan Town, indirectly saving Dikou City and the surrounding areas!
In fact, if you really talk about it.
Such an extraordinary feat is not to say it shakes the past and present! It is also a super great merit!
It's not impossible to confer a Marquis!
But Jia Hui has no background or backer.
The great clan Jia family does not give support.
Second, the hundred officials learned that Jia Hui is only fourteen or fifteen years old, too young, and cannot be promoted too fast in one step, to avoid having nowhere to rise in the future.
Third, he has many enemies, and the Four Kings and Eight Dukes faction opposes extremely.
Therefore, even though Jia Hui achieved an extraordinary feat.
There were still many people opposing.
Emperor Yongshun couldn't ignore it.
After a long argument.
Emperor Yongshun chose a compromise!
"Since that is the case."
"Then promote Jia Hui to..."
The princes and court officials looked at Emperor Yongshun nervously, listening with their ears pricked up.
Afraid of missing something.
【27】 (7) Promotion to Assistant Regional Commander! Conferring the rank of Viscount! The whole court is in an uproar
"Issue an edict, Jia Hui is brave enough to crown the three armies, rescued Dingyuan Town, beheaded the general, seized the flag, broke the army, and raised the prestige of loyalty and bravery, specially promoting Jia Hui's nobility to Third-Class Viscount, so it is!"
Finally, Emperor Yongshun's words settled the matter.
Everyone was shocked!
You must know.
The previous Jia Hui was a First-Class General of State Service and one Cloud Cavalry Lieutenant equivalent to a third-rank military official!
This was already on the same rank as Jia Zhen, a descendant of the Duke of Ningguo who inherited the nobility!
Respected and treated with courtesy by ten thousand people!
Above him were the four ranks of Auxiliary State General.
The four ranks of General of State Defense.
The four ranks of Baron, First-Class Baron and one Cloud Cavalry Lieutenant, First, Second, and Third-Class Baron.
Therefore!
Jia Hui actually jumped over twelve small levels and three major levels in one step!
In the non-founding stage!
It is truly sensational!
Rocket-like rise is nothing more than this!
And how many days has it been since Jia Hui was rewarded with General of State Service?
In a few days, the nobility jumped dozens of levels!
It directly stunned so many people!
Brother Ouyang Xu, the new top scholar who didn't hesitate to abandon his fiancée Zhao Paner, who had worked hard to make money to support his studies, in order to climb the high branch of Observer Gao Hu, was even more jealous with red eyes!
"Just a reckless man, but after fighting for a few days, he was rewarded so heavily! I, Brother Ouyang Xu, am not convinced!"
It wasn't just him.
Liu Fang and others were also jealous and distorted, they inherited this nobility by relying on the relationship of their ancestors.
But Jia Hui reached or surpassed it in just a few days!
Unwilling!
Jealous!
Frustrated!
Thinking that Jia Hui, a lowly commoner and fart-man whom they didn't look down on and could pinch to death at will, suddenly climbed to the same height as them!
They were almost going crazy!
However, except for the military nobles of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes and a few others.
This time most of the hundred officials still accepted it.
Although in fact.
Even some important ministers in the court were somewhat envious.
Compared to the true Supra-Rank Marquis.
Although Viscount is also called Supra-Rank.
But in the eyes of many people.
Viscount and Baron are actually fake Supra-Rank!
Because only Duke, Marquis, and Earl have exclusive titles.
For example, Duke of Rongguo, Duke of Ningguo, Marquis of Zan, Marquis of Liu, Marquis of Yan, etc.
Viscount is just called Viscount.
It's just a title like First-Class Nobility, Second-Class Nobility, etc.
Therefore, the gold content is very different!
In terms of quantity.
The total number of Dukes, Marquises, and Earls alive in the court is less than thirty!
The number of Viscounts and Barons is much larger, all of which are inherited and downgraded.
Although this is the case.
A Viscount is still extremely noble!
Commoners must bow when they see him!
Officials and lower nobles must also be respectful.
No matter what!
Jia Hui, who was conferred the rank of Third-Class Viscount, even if he has no official position or job in the future.
Can sit on an equal footing with Liu Fang and others.
No matter how unhappy!
Hold it in!
And this is just in terms of nobility.
Emperor Yongshun immediately added Jia Hui as an Assistant Regional Commander of the regular third rank.
Emperor Yongshun originally intended to promote Jia Hui to Assistant Regional Commander.
It's just that at that time, everyone opposed it relatively strongly.
This time, having achieved an extraordinary feat.
Plus thinking of Jia Hui's background, Emperor Yongshun was very firm and unquestionable this time.
