A crowd of people waited and knelt down to worship,
King Yong smiled and said: "The emperor is destined to be blessed by heaven. The edict says: Langlang Longyan has conquered all the barbarians and looked down on the world. All nations have come to court. The Protectorate of the Western Regions has been abandoned for many years. I always have the heart to educate the world. Night
It’s hard to sleep..."
"Today, Liu Zhoumu has sent troops to the Western Region to frighten Xiao Xiao and consolidate the power of Longyan..."
"The soldiers of Yinzhou have conquered thousands of miles and are waiting for danger..."
A burst of praise is a necessary opening.
then.
The meat show is really here.
King Yong glanced at Liu Dahao: "Promote Liu Dahao to the third rank of Baron and Marquis of Guanwai!"
The crowd was in an uproar.
Many people were very excited.
Marquised!
Finally got a title!
And he is a serious feudal prince!
Regarding the titles of the Longyan Dynasty, they actually refer to the title system of the Cao Wei period. After all, the Xie family took over the country from the Cao family.
The title system of Cao Wei was divided into nine levels: king, duke, marquis, uncle, son, male, county marquis, township marquis, and Guannei marquis. In addition to the nine levels of nobility, Cao Cao created the title of Marquis, Guanzhong Marquis, and Guanwai Marquis.
The five great officials were reserved as conferred titles. According to the Wei system, the prince was granted the title of king, the concubine of the king was granted the title of rural duke, the concubine of the heir king was granted the title of rural marquis, and the concubine of the duke was granted the title of Tingbo...
In short.
Quite complicated.
However, under the continuation of the Longyan Dynasty for more than a thousand years, the Wei system still changed.
Princes, princes, and uncles are still the mainstream titles and are real aristocrats. State marquis, county marquis, and rural marquis have all become titles given to non-royal people of the opposite sex who have outstanding merits.
then......
With the expansion of Long Yan's territory, the dynasty slowly decayed, and the court had no time to take care of the Central Plains. Those below the county magistrate, rural magistrate, Tingbo, etc., all became "honorary titles" with no title and no food. County magistrate
Fortunately, if there are vacancies in counties, you can take office, but you have to wait...
A barren place like Liangzhou needs to wait.
In those more prosperous places in the Central Plains, many county officials will never be able to wait for a county to take office in their lifetime.
Therefore, gradually, titles below the county level can be purchased by donating money.
instead......
These titles, such as Guanneihou, Guanwaihou, Guanzhonghou, etc., have become more valuable. Because these titles are given to those who have outstanding merits and generals who have commanded the army to guard one side.
Needless to say, there is no need to mention the famous Guannei Hou in history.
A Liu Bang.
A Wei Qing.
Liu Bang's Guannei Marquis was granted to him by Qin II, with the purpose of allowing Liu Bang to fight for him and suppress the peasant uprising.
Wei Qing is naturally like this.
Over time, the title lord became the representative of the true pinnacle of power.
So.
I guess someone is going to ask.
These suffixes all belong to Hou Houhou, so is he the Marquis of Gonghou Bozi Men’s School?
Of course not.
This "hou" means princes!
Regardless of whether they are princes, uncles, sons, county princes, or rural princes, they all belong to the category of princes. This suffix has nothing to do with the title, so don't get confused.
so.
No matter Liu Dahao's previous county or state princes, they were all not in the upper class. Only this Guanwaihou and the third-class baron showed that he had really become a prince!
Really become a noble!
You can really enter the house!
Liu Dahao cried with joy: "Thank you, Lord, for your kindness. Thank you, Lord, for your kindness. Liu Dahao will live up to His Majesty's expectations and guard the Western Regions for His Majesty!"
King Yong smiled and said: "Congratulations to Liu Zhoumu!"
Everyone also stood up to congratulate him.
This time, Jiang Xuan, who was standing next to him, refused to give in: "No, King Yong, that's it?"
He was so angry: "We want to rebuild the Protectorate of the Western Regions. So many soldiers have died, and this is it? Where is my young master? Where is Brother Qin? Where is me?"
