[Brothers, during the peak of the epidemic, this is an extraordinary period, please don’t go out. I will be with you during this Spring Festival. ]
You know, once the system of conferring titles is activated, it will definitely not only be given to those who surrender, but also many officials in Dayi, who will also have the opportunity to be conferred titles. If there are too many people conferred titles, it will divert a lot of the national fortune of Dayi. This approach can be used to control it to a certain extent. It will not put too heavy a burden on Dayi. The most important thing is that the titles are constantly decreasing. Without special circumstances, everyone will eventually become a commoner. To maintain the title forever, you have to constantly make contributions to Dayi and establish meritorious services.
There were also glimmers of surprise in the eyes of the ministers in the hall. To be granted a title is a great temptation for anyone. After all, it is a symbol of status.
"I second the proposal. This move can win the hearts of the people. Anyone with ambition will be interested in it. It will make it easier for Dayi to attack other places in the future. It will be of great benefit to disintegrate the other side's resistance."
After hearing this, Huang Chengyan also spoke up in agreement.
As long as no permanent title is granted, none of these will harm the true national interests of Dayi.
"Saint King, I think that the system of inheriting titles should not be confused with the Great Yi Nine-Rank Official System, which will cause an impact on the system of destiny and even chaos. They should be distinguished separately and should not interfere with each other. This will benefit the country and the people, and it will be a great national policy."
Su Shi stepped forward and began to offer suggestions.
He is the Minister of Speech, and over the years he has fulfilled his duties, spoken and acted boldly, and has truly lived up to his position.
"That makes sense. Titles of nobility and official positions should not be confused."
"Seconded!"
"Seconded!!"
All the ministers in the palace spoke up in agreement.
Official position is the foundation, this is the fundamental national policy of Dayi, and it cannot be shaken.
How to confer titles, how to protect interests, and how to maintain the foundation of Dayi are all the most important.
For a while, the ministers in the hall expressed their opinions and began to put forward some favorable suggestions for the title system. This process was not slow at all. Soon, the specific resolution was presented in front of Yi Tianxing, waiting for a decision.
"very good."
Yi Tianxing nodded, looked around at the ministers, and said slowly: "This Saint King has decided to set up another list in addition to the Conferred God List, and forge a new national treasure - the Conferred King List. It can also be called the King and Marquis List, the Conferred Noble List. This list will be used to confer titles, and the titles are divided into six major titles: King, Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, and Baron. The title of king cannot be conferred unless it is of the emperor's bloodline, and kings with different surnames will not be conferred except in special circumstances. The nine-rank system of kings and marquises will be implemented, and titles will not be granted land. Titles will be inherited every thirty years. Every thirty years, the title must be passed down. If there is no successor, the title will be demoted. Common people will fall off the Conferred King List."
There is an old saying that one can establish oneself at the age of thirty. In the secular world, thirty years is a generation. The reason for setting a time limit is that cultivators have extremely long life spans. Once they wish, they will not die for thousands of years. Wouldn't the title exist forever, and stay forever on Dayi to suck blood and eat flesh? This is intolerable. Setting a time limit is the best approach. This approach can only be best implemented at this time, when the title system is determined. Otherwise, turmoil will occur at any time.
Now it is set, it is the ancestral system, which cannot be shaken. No one can change it, and those who come after will also accept this practice, and it will eventually become a rule, a heritage, a habit, and even a cognition in the heart. Inheriting the nobility is such a system.
Thirty years is not too much, nor too little, just right. A title, if it really comes down from the first rank, can be inherited for 270 years. This time is long enough. In ancient dynasties, a dynasty may not have a national life of more than 200 years.
"The King's Ranking, those who are crowned as kings are of super rank, Duke is the first rank, Marquis is the second rank, Earl is the third rank, Viscount is the fourth rank, and Baron is the fifth rank. Within the rank, there are nine ranks."
Yi Tianxing continued.
Dayi’s current status and fortune in the Holy Court.
The fortune of the Holy Court.
The Lord of Yun Dynasty, two hundred and eighty-eight times.
To be crowned as king {emperor}, two hundred and sixteen times.
To be a marquis {princess or prince}, one hundred and sixty-eight times.
For the first level, the increase rate is one hundred and forty-four times.
Second grade, one hundred and twenty-eight times.
Grade three, one hundred and twelve times.
Fourth grade, ninety-six times.
Fifth grade, eighty times.
Sixth grade, sixty-four times.
Seventh grade, forty-eight times.
Grade eight, thirty-two times.
Ninth grade, sixteen times.
The King List implements a different system of luck and position. It is not the same as the Investiture of the Gods. For example, the position of kings and marquises, the Investiture of the Gods only conferred titles on the princes and princesses with the blood of the emperor, as well as the emperor, empress and princesses in the harem. This is to enjoy the blessing of the orthodox luck of the Great Yi. If the King List really wants to be crowned as a king, it is a king of a different surname. This throne is not the throne in the Investiture of the Gods. One is too much higher than the first rank, and the other is only equivalent to the title of marquis.
The luck of the king in the King List is equivalent to the luck of the marquis in the God List, that is, the luck of the king in the Holy Court is 168 times, the duke is 144 times, the marquis is 128 times, the earl is 112 times, the viscount is 96 times, and the baron is 80 times.
Then, the titles were divided into nine grades. The first grade baron had eighty times, the second grade had seventy-two times, the third grade had sixty-four times, the fourth grade had fifty-six times, the fifth grade had forty-eight times, the sixth grade had forty times, the seventh grade had thirty-two times, the eighth grade had twenty-four times, and the ninth grade had sixteen times.
The nine ranks decrease in order, starting with the first digit: baron minus eight, viscount minus nine, earl minus eleven, marquis minus thirteen, duke minus fourteen, and king minus seventeen.
"If one has a noble title or an official position, the luck of a noble title will be determined by the higher position. If the official position is higher, the luck of a noble title will be determined by the official position. If one does not have an official position, a noble title can enjoy the luck of a noble title."
"Those who are knighted can exchange their merits for promotion in rank."
"Generals and soldiers in the Great Yi Army can exchange their merits for titles, gain the blessing of luck, and pass it on to their descendants. The position of a prince or a duke cannot be granted the title of a marquis, a duke, or a king without military merit. For those who surrender, regardless of their status, the highest they can be granted is an earl. Those who are granted titles can obtain corresponding salaries. Those who have both official positions and titles can receive double salaries."
Yi Tianxing slowly stated the final decision.
Luck cannot be accumulated, but salary can.
The eyes of the ministers in the hall lit up. It was certain that luck could not be accumulated, but it was good to have a salary. With the merits of the ministers in the hall, it was a simple matter to exchange for a title. Not to mention a duke, an ordinary title would not be a problem. This would also bless the family and descendants. It was not a bad thing.
"The Holy King is wise, the Holy King is merciful."
The ministers bowed and praised.
This is a good thing for Dayi as a whole, and it can strengthen cohesion, which is naturally the best thing.
"My dear ministers, now that the nobility system has been determined, how should the Heavenly Dragon Emperor and the Five Elders be conferred titles? We should come up with a charter now. This way, the Demon Sea can be stabilized as quickly as possible and the transition can be smooth."
Yi Tianxing said with a smile.
The most urgent task now is to finalize this matter.
"In my humble opinion, it is not too stingy to spend a thousand gold coins to buy horse bones. If a duke cannot be conferred, then he can be conferred the title of earl. The Dragon Emperor can confer the title of first-rank earl, and the Five Elders can confer the title of second-rank earl. This way, we can also show the magnanimity of our Great Yi, and at the same time, we can spread the title system. Let the world understand the tolerance and generosity of our Great Yi."
Pei Ju stepped forward again and said.
The title of Earl is also the top title. It is not a loss of status for the Dragon Emperor. As for giving the Five Elders the title of Earl of the Second Rank, it was also planned.
"Very good, then confer him the title of Earl. Let him be a rich and idle man."
Yi Tianxing nodded and issued an imperial decree. Next, all the ministers stayed in the main hall, and Yi Tianxing returned to the back hall to prepare for the sacrifice of the King List. There are many top materials in hand, such as the seven-color spider silk, a rare treasure material, and the top material obtained from the silkworm clan, the seven-color silkworm silk. They are all top-grade materials for casting. With the materials, it is not difficult to sacrifice and refine them. It is not difficult for the national destiny of Dayi to nurture these fortune treasures.
The speed of refining the list of nobility was not slow. It was finished in a short time, sent into the auspicious cloud of merit, and swallowed into the body by the dragon of luck, nourished by luck.
... ... ... ... ... ... ... .
It may sound like a long time, but in reality, the time that passed was not that long. Just a few hours.
But these few hours were a great torment for the Dragon Emperor. This kind of waiting, this feeling of not being able to control the future, made him feel uneasy and unable to calm down. Moreover, after this period of time, looking at the sky, the east was beginning to turn white, the sun was rising, and it was already early morning.
brush!!
Suddenly, a colorful rainbow light streaked across the sky, and along with the rainbow light, it seemed that Cao Zhengchun, holding the imperial edict, had appeared above Huoyun City.
"The imperial edict has arrived!!"
Cao Zhengchun said loudly.
"Greetings to the angel, respectfully welcoming the Holy King's decree."
Fire Cloud Evil God and the Lord of Fire Cloud City bowed in greeting.
Even the Dragon Emperor and the Five Elders were secretly awed, their waists slightly bent, knowing that this was the moment to decide their fate.
"The Holy King has issued an order: The Lord of the Tianlong Dynasty, the Tianlong Emperor, is deeply aware of justice and sympathizes with the suffering of the people of the world. In order to avoid the disaster of war, he is willing to join Dayi with the whole country and become the people of Dayi. This move will benefit the people of the world and hundreds of millions of people. The Tianlong Emperor is hereby conferred the title of the first-class earl of Dayi, and enjoys the good fortune of the Dayi title. His descendants can inherit the title until the end. The Five Elders are conferred the title of the second-class earl of Dayi. They can enjoy the good fortune of the Dayi title, and their descendants can inherit the title until the end. This is decreed!!"
Cao Zhengchun unfolded the imperial edict and read it aloud word by word. The sound of the imperial edict spread throughout the entire Demon Sea Realm. With an invisible majesty, it seemed as if one could clearly feel the pressure from the Emperor of Heaven. Everyone was shocked.
When the imperial edict was read out, an invisible divine will naturally spread, and all those who heard the imperial edict understood the information about the titles of Dayi, and knew the six major titles of king, duke, marquis, earl, viscount, and baron, as well as what level of nobility they could enjoy in Dayi.
