“Cheng Shi Xiao Yuanyi and his wife, guarding the northern territory for several years, deeply loyal and filial, and repeatedly made battle merits, so they were named the third-class Marquis of Quling, five hundred food yi, and built a Quling Marquis Mansion, Xiao Yuanyi was named the Lady of the Third Rank Command, to show merit!” After Xia Shouzhong read aloud.

When Cheng Shixiao Yuanyi heard this, his heart was shocked.

There are two types of Great Zhou titles, clan titles and opposite-sex titles.

The clan title is only divided into royal members, and the heterosexual title is based on the merits of officials, divided into five grades: duke, marquis, count, viscount, and baron.

These titles were subdivided into one to three classes.

Marquis, for example, are divided into first-class marquis, second-class marquis, and third-class marquis.

Cheng Shi was originally just a small captain in Mocheng, but because of the lack of main generals, he broke the rules and let Cheng Shixiao Yuanyi lead troops to battle at the suggestion of Wan Songbai.

The third-class marquis, although he only barely reached the rank of noble in Shenjing City, it was still far beyond their expectations.

Not to mention that Xiao Yuanyi can be ordained, you must know that in this era, it is the supreme honor for women.

Lady Zhi can receive the feast with the empress on major festivals and celebrations.

After the two looked at each other, they quickly saluted and thanked them.

The officials standing on both sides could not help but cast envious eyes at the two of them, especially officials like Sheng Xuan, who were up and down the five ranks.

After a series of rewards from the rest of the soldiers, it was finally Gu Tingye’s turn.

“Zhende deputy lieutenant Gu Tingye, slaughtered the Tatars, beheaded the traitor Li Chengquan, the Tatar khan and the leaders of the six tribes, bravely crowned the three armies, opened up the territory of the Great Zhou, and made unearthly achievements!”

“Today, he is named the first-class champion Hou and the second rank auxiliary general of the country, hereditary replacement, can lead 3,000 private soldiers, 2,000 food, and create a champion Hou Mansion!”

Originally, Gu Tingye was given the title of first-class champion marquis, and he should no longer be able to serve as an auxiliary general, but now that the Great Zhou regime is separated, the four kings and eight princes have strong forces in both the army and the court.

Therefore, even if there was something unreasonable about Gu Tingye’s reward, no one in the DPRK had an opinion on it.

Among the many rewards, the most unexpected thing for the officials was the four words of hereditary replacement, including Gu Yankai, and his expression couldn’t help but change.

The Gu family buried so many people in the army before they obtained the position of second-class marquis of Ningyuan.

It was true that I didn’t expect that Gu Tingye, this kid, had only joined the army for only two months, and he would be directly named the champion marquis, and he could also be hereditary!

He was now happy in his heart, but he was also worried that Gu Tingye would be proud of his achievements and let people catch the pigtails in the future.

The hereditary title of the Great Zhou is divided into hereditary succession and demoted hereditary title, and the hereditary descent is one rank for each generation.

For example, if the father is a prince, the son will inherit the title in the future and will be the county king, but the prince will not be demoted after he is demoted to the duke, and the rest will be reduced by one generation.

The hereditary replacement obtained by Gu Tingye means that the descendants can inherit the original title, and even if the person who inherits the title is deprived of the title because of criminal responsibility, the other heirs of the original title can still continue to inherit the title.

Among the Great Thursday Kings, only the throne of King Beijing is hereditary, and he is still the king of the county in the generation of Shui Sol.

The rest are now dukes.

It can be seen that it is extremely difficult to obtain hereditary succession.

Gu Tingye knew that he could win this honor, and it was Emperor Jingshun’s intention to support himself and promote some new forces to fight against the Four Kings and Eight Dukes and Emperor Taishang.

“Gu Tingye, are you still satisfied with such a reward?” Zhou Tai asked with a smile.

“The minister thanks His Majesty Longen, but the minister still has a reluctant request, and I hope that His Majesty can agree to the minister.” Gu Tingye hugged his fist and looked at Emperor Jingshun and said in a deep voice.

Gu Yan, who was standing on one side, kept glancing at Gu Tingye, signaling him to accept it when he saw it, and the reward given by His Majesty was enough.

The ministers of the DPRK couldn’t help but feel that Gu Tingye was a little excessive, he already had such a huge gift, and he actually had a request.

Emperor Jingshun raised his eyes to look at Gu Tingye, his expression still smiling, “You say, Xu is very curious about what your reluctant invitation is.” “

“Your Majesty, the minister wants to ask for an order for his ancestor mother Bai Clan.” After Gu Tingye finished speaking, Gu Yankai’s face changed directly.

A few years ago, when Emperor Taishang was in power, he found that Hubu had made a huge deficit because of some of the lord’s sons and disciples, and immediately ordered the lord’s family to return the silver, otherwise what awaited them was the exile.

Of course, Emperor Taishang’s order was limited to a lord family like Ningyuanhou’s Mansion whose foundation was not particularly solid.

Because of this, Ningyuanhou Mansion owed 880,000 taels of silver, and they couldn’t repay it with their financial resources.

Gu Tingye’s mother’s Bai family has been in business for generations, with thousands of dollars in the waist, and the silver in the house is piled up, but because it is a business status, its status is low.

In order to keep the marquis and the title, Gu Yankai had to marry the Bai clan.

In order to one day be able to leave the status of merchant status in the future, the Bai family brought one million taels of silver just by marrying into the Hou Mansion.

It’s a pity that the Bai family has been married into the Hou Mansion for so many years, and until his death, Gu Yankai has never asked for a command for him, and since the Xiao Qin family entered the mansion, everything about the Bai family, the Hou Mansion has kept its mouth shut.

Although Gu Tingye is a traverser, he still wants to fulfill the original owner and the Bai family’s wish, otherwise he is sorry for the huge inheritance left to him by the Bai family’s grandfather.

“Champion Hou Xiaoxin is commendable, and he has granted it, and he has posthumously named your ancestor Bai Clan as the Lady of Yipin!” Emperor Jingshun said lightly, and he couldn’t help but feel in his heart that Gu Tingye was so attached to righteousness, and he would definitely be a person who could take on great responsibilities in the future.

The group of officials who originally felt that Gu Tingye was a little too much, also lowered their heads at this time and closed their mouths.
