I Have 100,000 Dead Warriors

The eyes of the retired emperor and Emperor Jiaqian fell on Jia Yao at the same time.

Emperor Jiaqian was secretly shocked when he saw Jia Yao wearing dark black armor, with his eyes as stern as two obsidians shining with cold light, and his aura as sharp and resolute as before, without the scholarly air he had in the past.

He smiled and said, "Father, how do you think Jia Yao compares to the Duke of Rong, Jia Daishan?"

The emperor looked as if he had eaten a fly, his face was as ugly as it could be.

Such a young hero should have been used by him, but now he has fallen into the hands of the emperor. I am so angry!

The emperor forced a smile and said, "The waves behind push the waves ahead, and each generation is stronger than the previous one. Naturally, a grandson cannot lose to his grandfather."

Emperor Jiaqian smiled even more happily, and said to Xia Shouzhong, the chief eunuch who was serving beside him, "Announce the decree."

"Whoo!"

Xia Shouzhong unfolded the bright yellow Double Dragons Playing with Fire Orbs Imperial Edict and said in a loud voice: "The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that the Later Jin invaded the border and the situation is extremely precarious. The generals and soldiers did not fear life and death, fought bravely, defeated the enemy, and protected the territory and the people. They should be rewarded."

"General Jia Yao, a civilian official, rushed to the battlefield before he was twenty, led the troops, killed the enemy generals in front of the battle, and destroyed the power of the Later Jin. His achievements were great, comparable to the young hero Huo Qubing who conquered the Wolf's Lair and drank from the vast sea."

"Now, by order of the Emperor and the Supreme Emperor, Jia Yao is conferred the title of First-Class Marquis of Courage and Perseverance, and is granted hereditary title. He shall not kneel when he sees the Emperor, and wherever he goes, civil officials shall dismount from their sedan chairs and military officials shall dismount from their horses to honor his merits."

The ministers in the court had long known that Tanchun would be conferred the title of marquis, and were not surprised by this.

However, Tanchun was shocked by this first-class brave and resolute marquis.

Marquis Yongyi?

Oh my god! She doesn’t want to have a weird daughter like Old Lady Sheng who is so obsessed with love that she takes away all the property from her parents’ home as her dowry.

Although I really dislike the word "courage".

But I have to admit that this title is really good.

Bravery and perseverance, the highest praise!

A military general cannot get such a title unless he has made extraordinary contributions.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

Jia Yao accepted the order and expressed his gratitude very calmly.

The hereditary first-class Marquis of Yongyi is very honorable.

But for her, who had been the emperor and the Jade Emperor for several lifetimes, it was just a piece of fly meat.

When Emperor Jiaqian saw that Jia Yao was conferred the title of marquis, he showed no arrogance at all and nodded with satisfaction.

This boy is indeed not an ordinary person. He did not let the favor go to his head and become complacent.

The ministers in the hall were also shocked by Jia Yao's calmness.

The young man was impulsive and rash, and if he were an ordinary person, he would have been so proud of himself that he would have been lifted up to the sky.

Which Feng Shui site was chosen for the Jia family's ancestral tomb, so that first two dukes came out, and then a hereditary Marquis Yongyi?

Wow, this is about going up to the sky and standing shoulder to shoulder with the sun!

Jia Yao made the greatest contribution and was the first to be rewarded.

Emperor Jiaqian did not forget others either.

The elder brother-in-law Yuwen Xi, as the commander-in-chief, was a good leader and not greedy for credit. He did not take credit for other people's achievements or suppress Jia Yao in various ways just because Jia Yao was more capable than him.

This time, Emperor Jiaqian also gave him a first-class marquisate, the title "Yongjia", but it lacked the honor of hereditary succession.

Then came Niu Jizon, Chen Ruiwen, Ma Shang and others, who were promoted to a higher rank on the basis of their original titles and granted powerful official positions.

Even Jia Zhi, the unlucky guy who was pushed out to take the blame by Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, was given a fourth-rank General of the Central Army, a higher status than Jia Zheng and Jia Lian.
