Don't think that major general is some great position.
It sounds nice, but he is actually a third-grade military general.
Position and title were two completely different concepts in ancient times.
Let's use an analogy.
An ordinary position is like a plumber. The emperor can grant as many positions as he wants, and the annual salary expenditure is only a few hundred taels at most. If you don't do things well, the emperor can remove you at any time. It can be said to be high quality and low price.
This was Xiao Lingyue's status as a major general in Nanyan in her last life.
However, the real title is different.
It is not that the emperor can grant titles whenever he wants. The number of titles in each country is limited. If you grant one, you will lose one.
Even if the emperor wants to grant a title, it depends on the wishes of the courtiers. Without real merit, even if he is granted a title, it is just a false title and has no effect at all.
The title of Marquis of Nanyang of the Shen family.
The title of Marquis of Zhenbei of the Chu family.
It is all because their ancestors have made great contributions, and they are equivalent to being the descendants of the founding heroes, so they can have this honor.
The same is true for Nanyan.
The Wei family is the only marquis family. Their ancestors were also founding heroes, and their titles are passed down from generation to generation.
It is not difficult to see the importance of title to the ancients.
Not to mention the knighthood of women, even if a man spells out a title, it can be said to be a glorious ancestor, which is many times better than being named on the gold list.
Because of this, Xiao Lingyue couldn't believe it and even doubted whether Emperor Zhaoming was serious.
The emperor's golden words...
You shouldn't make such a joke with her, right?
But, knighthood!
This pie is so big that it makes it unrealistic.
"Huh?" Emperor Zhaoming saw her stunned on the ground and said nothing for a long time, "What's wrong, Shen Wan? Why don't you thank me?"
Xiao Lingyue looked at him with complicated eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "May I ask, Your Majesty, have you ever told King Yi about the knighthood?"
"I want to reward you for my merits. What does it have to do with King Yi?" Emperor Zhaoming asked in surprise.
Xiao Lingyue's mood became more complicated: "..."
She didn't know what to say.
Logically speaking, if Emperor Zhaoming wants to award a reward, he does not need to discuss it with Zhan Beihan.
However, when Xiao Lingyue thought of Zhan Beihan's suspicions about her, she felt anxious and uneasy.
If Zhan Beihan knew.
Under a false identity, she was made a county lord by His Majesty. Who knows how he would react?
But it is impossible to refuse.
Your Majesty's golden mouth has been opened, and disobeying the decree is a death penalty.
Xiao Lingyue didn't deserve to do such a thing.
What's more, Emperor Zhaoming was already very kind to her, giving her a title and a mansion.
With this reward, she no longer has to take Beibei to live in the Shen family and face those stupid people in the Shen family all day long. She can move her child to her own house and live wherever she wants.
.
No one will ever bother her again.
When she goes out alone, she doesn't have to worry about Beibei's safety.
No matter how you look at it, it's a good thing.
Han Han was waiting impatiently at the side, and couldn't help but urge: "Mom, you don't have to worry about dad, this is the imperial grandfather's order, hurry up and accept it!" Hot 『』 This chapter has been completed!
