Chapter 33
There were not a few court officials who opposed this.
However, the voices of opposition were not very loud.
A viscountcy had already been conferred.
The position of Assistant Regional Commander was not fixed in number.
With such great merit, in truth, even the position of Deputy Regional Commander or Regional Commander would not have been impossible.
But as long as it was not Deputy Regional Commander or Regional Commander, everyone could still accept it.
Furthermore, Emperor Yongshun had just made concessions regarding the titles of nobility.
From Marquis down to Viscount.
This time, regarding official rank, it was difficult for everyone to oppose it too strongly!
And so.
Jia Hui successfully promoted from Mobile Corps Commander to Assistant Regional Commander!
"Having received the bestowed imperial edicts, seals, and banners for supplies, weapons, and gunpowder, and having been granted the authority to act at my own discretion as Regional Commander for the Northern Region, I hereby express my gratitude."
"Training three thousand troops!"
In extreme wartime conditions, one could temporarily train up to ten thousand!
An Assistant Regional Commander of the regular third rank is positioned below a Regional Commander or Deputy Regional Commander, and above a Regional Military Commissioner and Mobile Corps Commander.
He had truly and firmly entered the ranks of high-level generals!
This is equivalent to a civil official of the regular fourth rank.
And a civil official of the regular fourth rank also belongs to the ranks of high officials!
This made Niu Jizong, Liu Fang, and others even more red-eyed, jealous, and frustrated to the point of madness!
"His Majesty is wise!"
The courtiers shouted aloud.
Emperor Yongshun beamed with joy.
Thus.
The matter of Jia Hui being rewarded as a third-class Viscount and promoted to Assistant Regional Commander!
Spread rapidly like a massive tornado from the imperial court to the entire city!
And then it swept across the world just as quickly!
Letting everyone know.
That the Great Gan had produced a Jia Hui—Viscount Jia, Assistant Regional Commander Jia—who possessed incomparable divine might, had repeatedly achieved extraordinary feats, and had slain generals, captured flags, and broken armies!!
"Crack! Snap! Pop!!!"
Ningguo Prefecture!
As expected, the vases and utensils in the house suffered once again!
Jia Zhen's eyes were bloodshot.
He went on a destructive rampage with a ferocious expression!
【28】 Jia Zhen and his son are driven mad with rage again! Widow Li Wan envies Qin Keqing
"Jia!!! Hui!!"
"Why aren't you dead yet? Why aren't you dead? Why are you still able to receive promotions and titles? Wasn't it said that the Tatars were invincible? Trash, good-for-nothing, you're a good-for-nothing! You've infuriated me to death..."
And Jia Rong, standing to the side, also had a ferocious expression!
Seeing the ghostly state of the father and son.
Big You Shi was immediately frightened and ran back to her room.
"Jia Hui!"
Back in her bedroom, Big You Shi sat before the dressing table. The bronze mirror reflected her beautiful, bright face, and one could see her wonderful eyes sparkling.
Hearing Jia Hui's name and achievements once again, she could not help but feel shocked.
"Now, even the Master can't easily deal with him, right? I thought that even if he didn't die, he would have a hard time."
This made Big You Shi feel even more shocked, and she became even more curious about Jia Hui as a person.
"I wonder when he will return?"
Meanwhile!
Rongguo Prefecture!
After Jia Zheng returned home, he learned all of this from his own mouth!
The entire Rongguo Prefecture was silent for a moment!
Then it was like hot oil hitting a pan!
Everyone was exclaiming in an uproar!
"Is this Jia Hui truly a god descended to earth?" Wang Xifeng's heart pounded wildly, "This is a Supra-Rank Viscount! And a regular third-rank Assistant Regional Commander!"
Her personal maid, Jia Lian's head maid Ping Er, said: "This has already far exceeded the third-rank title of Master Zhen."
Although Ping Er was a maid, she was dressed in silk and satin, adorned with gold and silver, and possessed a flower-like face and jade-like appearance. That pair of beautiful eyes seemed to be able to speak, clear as autumn water, adding to her beauty. A lovely smile often hung on the corners of her mouth, and in her radiant beauty, she was no worse than an ordinary young lady of a great family.
She was an extremely clever and extremely elegant girl.
Although she was Wang Xifeng's confidante and had to help Wang Xifeng manage affairs, she was a very good person with a kind heart, often doing good deeds behind Wang Xifeng's back.
Tanchun said proudly: "It's more than that, it even surpasses the first-rank General title of the eldest master; a Viscount is Supra-Rank!"
It was unclear why she was proud.
Hearing Tanchun say this.
Everyone had a clearer concept of the prestige and nobility of a Viscount!
Wang Xifeng and the other women all had eyes shining with brilliance.
Wang Xifeng thought of her own husband, Jia Lian, the eldest grandson of Rongguo Prefecture and son of the first-rank General Jia She.
But he was nothing!
The father couldn't compare!
The son was also inferior!
Jia Lian actually did not like reading to seek an official career.
He had only recently donated money to become a Vice Prefect, which was only a regular sixth-rank official.
And that was only because of Jia Hui.
That was why Jia Lian was like that.
However, as mentioned before.
Anything below the fourth rank is not a high official.
A regular sixth-rank official is just a tiny, insignificant official, a donated position.
Official positions of this level are as numerous as ox hair.
Not to mention having no real power.
It just sounds nice, but it's nothing.
It is still far inferior to the fifth-rank officials of Jia Zheng and Qin Ye.
At least those are real positions.
Compared to Jia Hui, who is a regular third-rank Assistant Regional Commander and a Supra-Rank Viscount!
It is a total, all-encompassing crushing defeat!
"If that Qin woman were to marry this Jia Hui, she could be rewarded together as a Supra-Rank noblewoman!"
At this moment, the widow Li Wan suddenly opened her lips.
Li Wan was a beauty whose elegance and temperament were rare in the world. She was movingly pitiful, delicate, and possessed a temperament that made everyone who saw her feel pity. At this moment, she stood gracefully in the center of the hall, her eyebrows slightly knitted, her pretty face full of envy and longing; any man would feel a strong impulse to take her into his arms and cherish her.
Her clear and refined jade-like face was covered with a faint, indescribable sorrow, as if nothing in this world could make her happy again.
Her hair was tied in a cloud bun, with the forehead hair styled into a cloud shape, gracefully resting above her long, temple-reaching eyebrows; it truly deserved the description "cloud bun condensing fragrance, morning eyebrows thick."
Her sideburns were styled into curved, hook-like shapes, yet they were thin and transparent; the cloud-like hair was lazily combed, ethereal like cicada wings, further highlighting her perfect oval face and sorrowful, silent, beautiful eyes.
At this moment, her beautiful face was filled with longing!
Hearing these words.
