Imperial City, Inner City, Zongren Mansion.

The Zongren Mansion is located in the northwest corner of the inner city of the imperial city, close to the Ministry of Rites. It was the agency of the Qian Dynasty that managed the genealogy, honors, rewards and punishments, sacrifices and other affairs of the royal family. It was responsible for sending and receiving documents, managing internal affairs of the clan, registering yellow books, and red books. He is responsible for imprisoning criminals and educating the clan's children. He is also in charge of the promotion and promotion assessment of noble titles, and has considerable power.

Jia Yun, holding the certificate of examination for the clan's mansion, stepped over the steps and walked towards the clan's mansion step by step.

After submitting the voucher to the guard, someone led him through the door, across the corridor, through the hall and through the door, until he reached the main room.

The head of the Zongren Mansion had already taken over. He went to the front office and ordered Jia Yun to wait outside the door while the head of the clan went in to communicate.

After a cup of tea, the chief officer came out, delivered the official order, and ordered Jia Yun to come in.

With a calm expression on his face, Jia Yun raised the felt curtain and went inside. When he reached the outer hall, someone looked him over and motioned for him to enter the inner hall.

After returning the courtesy, Jia Yun entered the inner hall again.

Inside the inner hall door, as soon as you enter, you will see two people sitting on each side of the kang table in the inner hall of the sect's residence, both wearing python dragon robes.

Seeing Jia Yun enter, both of them looked at him with scrutinizing eyes.

Jia Yun met and bowed and said, "Jia Yun, Duke of Ningguo, has met the two princes."

The elder prince who was sitting in the main seat raised his eyes and looked at Jia Yun, then took the official document and corrected it carefully. This serious look showed that he was fulfilling his duties.

After the correction was correct, the prince in charge turned his head and glanced at the young man beside him, pondered for a moment, and said: "Since you are on duty today, then take him to take the exam for the title."

After a pause, he added: "After the examination, take him into the palace to meet the saint."

The young man's eyes brightened when he heard this, he got up and got off the kang, and immediately said to Jia Yun: "Jia Shenling, please!"

Jia Yun was originally on duty in the palace, so he naturally knew the person in front of him. He was none other than Emperor Chongming's fourth son, Prince Gongjing, Zhao Li.

King Chongming had ten sons, but nearly half died in infancy, and now there are only four princes left.

The other party regarded him as a prince, so Jia Yun saluted respectfully and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Seeing that Jia Yun was serious, the fourth prince said with a warm face: "Jia Shenling, there is no need to be polite, this is my duty.

Faced with the kindness of the fourth prince, Jia Yun did not say much. When the fourth prince saw Jia Yun acting like this, he did not say much and took Jia Yun to the school for the assessment.

Walking to the corridor, Jia Yun followed the fourth prince in an orderly manner. Seeing that Jia Yun deliberately kept a distance from him, the fourth prince slowed down and waited for Jia Yun to step forward a little. The fourth prince said: "Jia Shenling, I heard that Are you a branch of Ning Mansion?"

When Jia Yun heard the fourth prince asking about this matter, he told him bluntly: "Your Majesty, Xiaguan was originally the eldest son of a concubine in the Ning Mansion. However, there were no heirs in the seventh house of the Ning Mansion, so he passed on to him."

The fourth prince laughed when he heard this and joked: "Jia Shen is quite blessed. It's eye-opening that he can inherit the title after passing the marriage."

When passing a house, most of the time, a side branch passes through the main branch. It is rare for someone like Jia Yun to pass from the main branch to a side branch. What's more, it is even rarer to pass from a side branch to the main branch. Not only that, he also inherits the family business. It’s even more unpleasant to smell.

After a pause, the fourth prince laughed and said, "But Jia Shenling has extraordinary abilities. Logically speaking, this title belongs to you."

Jia Yun heard this and said: "Go back to the prince, the lower official can inherit the title, it is just that there is no one in the long house. With the prince's good words, I hope the lower official can always accompany the emperor, so I am blessed."

The fourth prince said leisurely: "Blessing, this is a good thing. I wonder if I am blessed?"

Facing the fourth prince's inquiry, Jia Yun replied seriously: "Your Majesty is a noble man in the sky, so he is naturally blessed with good fortune. How can I compare with the blessings of a lower official?"

The fourth prince saw that Jia Yun looked at ease and stared at Jia Yun, not knowing what he was thinking.

After pondering for a while, the fourth prince said kindly: "Jia Shenling is a person who is highly valued by my father. I heard that my predecessor even gave Jia Shenling a cousin name."

Upon hearing this, Jia Yun responded: "Your Majesty's grace, I am so grateful that I will repay it with death."

The fourth prince couldn't help frowning at this moment. Although Jia Yun was respectful and polite, his reply was quite satisfactory, and the politeness in his words was clear at a glance.

His eyes changed a little, and the fourth prince smiled and said: "Jia Shenling is still so solemn, that's all, let's go for the assessment first!"

Jia Yun heard the words and said politely: "Thank you, Your Majesty."...

Seeing that Jia Yun was still like this, the fourth prince didn't say anything and walked towards the school grounds.

Upon seeing this, Jia Yun hurriedly followed him, but looked at the fourth prince thoughtfully.

After thinking for a moment, Jia Yun didn't think too much. Jia Yun's purpose was always to be loyal to the emperor. As for the prince, Jia Yun always kept a respectful distance...

Half an hour later, Wuying Palace...

The Chongming Emperor in front of the court looked at Jia Yun's test results and looked slightly satisfied.

In the past, most of those who were awarded titles were barely qualified, and it was rare to get almost perfect scores like Jia Yun.

Finally, he put down his ink brush. Emperor Chongming closed the official document of the imperial examination, looked at Jia Yun and said: "In the future, if you attack a martial lord, don't throw away the martial arts of your ancestors and learn from those like flying eagles and teasing dogs!"

What else could Jia Yun say after hearing this? He followed the decree and said: "I obey the decree."

Emperor Chongming turned his head and looked at Gao Xian, who stepped forward and called out: "Your Majesty has a decree."

Upon hearing this, Jia Yun knelt down to receive the order. Upon seeing this, Gao Xian announced the order: "I grant Jia Yun the second rank of Zhongyong Bo and the third rank of Weizhen General..."

The fourth prince accompanying him had dark eyes, and Jia Yun looked even more surprised.

Jia Zhen inherited the title as a second-rank uncle and a third-rank mighty general. According to the Daqian ancestral system, the title was inherited and downgraded, but Jia Yun's title was not downgraded this time.

"Customized by the dynasty: There are nine worldly ranks of Shike, namely Duke, Hou, Bo, Zi, Nan, Qingqi Commandery, Cavalry Commandery, Cloud Cavalry Commander, and Enqi Commandery.

Duke, Marquis and Earl are super-grade titles, which are higher than the first-grade officials and second only to the king.

Zi then regards the first grade, and the so-called "regarding the first grade" means "regarding the first grade".

Men are regarded as the second rank, light chariot captains are regarded as the third rank, cavalry captains are regarded as the fourth rank, cloud cavalry captains are regarded as the fifth rank, and enqi captains are regarded as the seventh rank.

All titles are divided into three levels. The first-level titles are hereditary and non-replaceable. The second-level titles are inherited. The third-level titles only have gold books but no iron scrolls. They are inherited and cannot be passed down to future generations.

The salary of the Duke is divided according to the rank of the Duke's son. The salary of the first-class Duke is the highest and the salary of the third-class Duke is the lowest. However, the salary of the third-class Duke is also much higher than that of the first-class Duke.

In addition to the title, the title of Wusan official will also be awarded, that is, the third-rank Weizhen general awarded by Jia Yun. The so-called Wusan official is an official title used to express the status of military officials without actual duties. It is divided into several levels.

, also known as military officer Sanjie or Wujie officer.

The Great Qian Dynasty stipulated that those who had specific responsibilities were called official officials, and those who did not were called casual officials.

Military officers with a superior title are generals, while those with a superior title or below are captains or the like.

Precisely because of the extraordinary title, apart from the large number of titles granted at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, only a handful of people were awarded titles during the Qian Dynasty for hundreds of years, and most of them were not passed down to descendants.

This shows the importance of title, and it is common sense that Jia Mu attaches such importance to it.

Emperor Chongming did not downgrade his title, which shows the emperor's favor. It seems that only the Rong Mansion had such favor.

Jia Yun was so flattered that he knelt down loudly and said: "The Holy Emperor's kindness is so great that I deeply appreciate it and dare not to do the hard work of dogs and horses in order to repay the Holy Emperor."

Emperor Chongming waved his hand, smiled and said: "You have to keep your filial piety, I won't keep you, just go back."

Jia Yun gave a deep salute, bowed and retired, saying: "I excuse you."

The fourth prince on the side looked at Jia Yun eagerly. Emperor Chongming's last words were so cordial, as if he were looking at his nephew, which shocked him. Moreover, the reward had obviously been prepared a long time ago...

It seems that Jia Yun has an extraordinary weight in his father's heart...

ps: Dream of Red Mansions originally has weird titles. Logically speaking, Jia Zhen should be an earl, and Jia She is a marquis. As for the third-grade powerful general, the first-class divine general cannot be explained at all. For the sake of writing, I treated them all as military attachés.

Scattered level.
