[Starting tomorrow, a week-long selection of new books, ask for help! ] Cheeky for collection. 】

Xiao Mo himself is a student of history, so he naturally knows a lot about the holy decree, which has a wide variety of specifications, the first product is the jade shaft, the second grade is the black rhinoceros horn shaft, the third product is the gold shaft, and the fourth and fifth grades are the black horn shaft. As for the patterns and colors, it is even more cumbersome through the ages.

However, what makes Xiao Mo complain is not this, but the content form of the holy decree, this holy decree is not all the same, and the content of the general holy decree will be divided into three categories, "edict, system, and edict." ”

"System said" is used by the emperor to express the emperor's grace and declare the hundred officials, and all the holy decrees need to express the emperor's grace of His Majesty today, all of which start with "Fengtian carriers, the emperor says". This "system" is only used to announce the hundred officials, and it is only for the hundred officials to see, and it will not be issued to the ordinary people, in popular terms, that is, the people cannot see this kind of holy decree at all.

"Edict" means to admonish. When the emperor added officials to knighthood, he would always warn these officials to guard against arrogance and rashness, make persistent efforts, and not be arrogant and complacent, pampered and arrogant.

And this edict is also the content format at the beginning of this holy decree in Xiao Mo's hand. This "edict" means to tell the world. This edict is used whenever it is necessary to proclaim to all the subjects of the world on important political matters.

This also means that the holy decree that Xiao Mo received is to be made public, not only Xiao Mo can see it, but all local governments will rub a copy and post it.

As for the edict in Xiao Mo's hand, the major political affairs alluded to are ostensibly praying for rain, praying for rain, which is a matter that benefits the people and the world, naturally wants to be announced to the world and appease the people.

It's just that Xiao Mo didn't expect this edict to involve himself, if it was really an edict, wouldn't it be better to tell the matter of praying for rain alone, obviously there is an ulterior motive in this, not to give Xiao Mo a way back.

In the early years of the Great Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen re-established the law, edited the "Kaihuang Law", and abolished many strict regulations, so relatively speaking, during the early years of the Kaihuang Emperor, the people were quite peaceful. Similarly, relatively speaking, officials have increased the degree of slackness in their work. What the purpose of this edict is, naturally, is self-evident.

The people have more leisure time, and in addition to work, they will naturally care about the world's major events from time to time.

As one of the two capitals of the Great Sui, although Luodu is only the accompanying capital, there is only a palace in the inner city, and there is no imperial city. But it is not comparable to the rest of the cities of the Great Sui at that time. In addition to the Daxing City that has just been built, Luodu can be said to be the most prosperous place.

Seeing that the Dragon Boat Festival is coming, Luodu is even more busy, and there is an endless stream of people from all over the world. The patrol garrison of Luodu has also changed from two changes a day to three changes a day, day and night.

However, on the day before the Dragon Boat Festival, because of an edict posted by the local government offices, it was quite exciting in the territory of the Great Sui.

Praying for rain is a great blessing in these years. What could be more pleasing to the people than well-being? Since April, there has been no rain in many places in Dasui, and a major drought is about to occur, and I am afraid that there will be no harvest after autumn, and I don't know how many people will become homeless, and I don't know how many people will starve to death in this great drought.

And at this critical time, this reassuring pill of the imperial court cannot be said to be ineffective. The entire Great Sui became much more energetic because of this edict, and everyone felt that this was a blessing from heaven.

But everyone came back to their senses and found that although this edict announced the matter of praying for rain, it was indeed only a knighthood edict, and praying for rain was only a passing mention in it.

Dividing a baronial title is to announce to the world, but a major event like praying for rain is just a passing touch. Everyone gasped, who is this Xiao Moxiao son in this edict? Which rich foyer is it from?

The people of this Luodu are naturally no strangers to Xiao Gongzi, this Xiao Gongzi was originally unknown, so it is better to be a concubine. But not long ago, he suddenly became famous, causing rumors in Luodu again and again.

This edict was knighted, which shocked Luodu up and down. Why did I just hear that this Xiao Gongzi sent the second young master of the Xie family to prison, and there were two commanders of the six guards of the Son of Heaven by his side, and immediately the court issued an edict to knight him? Does this mean that this Xiao Gongzi is the person His Majesty values and protects today?

However, this also made the people of Luodu instantly understand a thing that has plagued everyone for a long time, that is, a few days ago, Luodu suddenly glowed at night, and the next day, it was obviously impossible to rain, but it suddenly rained heavily at night. It turned out that everything was made by this Xiao Gongzi.

No wonder everyone says that this Xiao Gongzi sleepwalked through the fairy palace and knew the secret techniques of the fairy palace, it seems that these are not fake.

Because of this sudden edict, the people and families involved with Xiao Mo had to re-examine Xiao Mo's status. This edict is knighted, but it is not an ordinary thing, and it is the first time that the Great Sui has been established since its inception.

Xiao Mo was sad after the eunuch who sent the decree left happily. It's completely different from the uplifting appearance of the family.

Although he was awarded the title of baron for praying for rain, it was very clear in the edict that the title of his letter was because he was talented and trustworthy.

Others didn't know, but Xiao Mo himself couldn't know better, what Xiao Mo promised at that time was not just praying for rain. In this way, looking at this edict again, Xiao Mo couldn't help but feel a chill.

This is to be knighted, this is clearly his own way out.

And speaking of this title, Xiao Mo is also very familiar with it, in the Great Sui, especially now when it is only three years after the emperor's reign, the meaning of this title is completely different from that after the emperor's nine years of unification of the world.

The founding of the Great Sui Dynasty did not come from war, but from power schemes, which can also be said to be family heritage, Yang Jian's world has a part of the luck component, and more of it is the family background.

Therefore, in the early years of the Great Sui Dynasty, there were not many people with knighthoods, and there were many titles that were just used to appease the original Northern Zhou courtiers and hang a sign.

The three years of the emperor was not the time when the Great Sui unified the world, and the time when the world was unified because of military exploits and strategies and other reasons, there were many, many people who were knighted.

The knighthood in the early years of the emperor, regardless of the size of the title, is very unusual, at least if Yang Jian likes it, and the edict is knighted, which has never been done before, which is even more important.

The title began in the pre-Qin period, flourished in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and during the opening of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, there were a total of knights, kings, county kings, county dukes, county dukes, marquis, uncles, sons, male nine and so on. The first product of the county king. The heir king, the vassal king, and the founding county prince are the second grade; The founding county and county marquis are the third product; The founding county is the fourth product. The founder son is the fifth grade, and the founding man is the sixth grade. Tang Mu Shihou is the seventh product; Township and Pavilion Marquis are the eighth grade. Guanzhong and Guanwai Hou are the second, and they are the ninth grade.

Xiao Mo was awarded the title of baron, this baron is not a founding man, so he is only a positive eighth grade, but the meaning of this title is very unusual.

It is common sense that those who are knighted can get a fief, Xiao Mo's title is a bit low, and he is not among them, and there is no mention of fiefdom in the edict. However, Xiao Mo directly became a noble baron with the body of a white ding, and no one could say that Xiao Mo would enter the baron again one day.

If you have a fief, it means that you can have private soldiers, collect taxes, and have generals. When officials of the same grade meet, those who do not have a title must be honored as an adult when they meet.

More importantly, many people have this opportunity to be an official, and there are many people who are Bai Ding's body and finally become a big official. But this knighthood is different, being an official and being a knight are completely two different concepts. The knighthood means that from now on you are a noble nobleman, which is not comparable to an official in one life, Xiao Mo's title can be hereditary for three generations, which means that the three generations of Xiao Mo's descendants are nobles and enjoy privileges.

Everyone knows that it is said that the official is promoted, but it is easy to add an official, but it is extremely difficult to enter the knighthood.

The emperor is not a fool, the title is given, which means that he may have a little less to manage, so the emperor of each dynasty will try to give less titles and more official titles. It's really not good, and I'll think of a way to cut off those given titles like a thorn.

Therefore, some people are extremely noble, but they cannot be called nobles in their lives, and some people are obviously not high in official positions, or even idle positions, but they have been nobles for generations, and their children and grandchildren will enjoy endless blessings as soon as they are born.

The difference is not small, who doesn't want their children and grandchildren to be able to eat and drink without worrying, even if the title is very low, no matter how bad it is, when it comes to being an official, the descendants are also taking advantage of it.

The knighthood also means that Xiao Mo's identity is no longer a son who is inferior to a concubine, but a baron. It also means that even if Xiao Mo does not join the military, as long as he has enough talent and time, there is no problem in being an official.

Before this, Xiao Mo, no matter how amazing his talent was, limited to his identity, he couldn't enter the officialdom, and he only had wealth and nobility in this life, but no power. This is also the reason why the mother of the Xiao family dared to drive Xiao Mo out in a grand manner, and Xiao Mo was not afraid at all after becoming famous.

Xiao Mo prayed for rain and offered auspicious rui, and many people and families who knew the inside story knew that it was normal to be knighted. From ancient times to the present, although there are often rumors that capable people are extraordinary, their abilities are extraordinary. But there are basically no people who have actually seen it.

And this prayer for rain to bless the people of the world, and many people in Luodu have personally experienced it, such an auspicious event, no one will have objections to the knighthood, besides, what is the use of objections?

But this edict was knighted, but it was still beyond the expectations of the magnates, and this matter was not as simple as knighthood.
