The reason why they don't leave their relatives is not because Li Taiwei, Li Zhengying and Li Zhengjie have started to go to court, but because the relatives who are close to each other and have high seniority have all gone to pay New Year's greetings, and the remaining relatives are waiting for someone to come to their Li family to pay New Year's greetings.

However, Li Yao remembered that she seemed to have an aunt and uncle who did not visit.

Her aunt and uncle were her grandmother's sister and brother-in-law, and her father and mother wanted to call her aunt and uncle.

The aunt's surname is Xia, it is said that he is the twelfth grandson of Emperor Kaizu, and now he has the title of Xinwu Hou, and her aunt is Mrs. Xinwu Hou.

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, after Li Yao had breakfast with her mother, she remembered this and asked Guan Xinyue: "Mother, didn't you say that the little aunt and the little aunt also live in Jingyang City?" Don't we have to go to their house to pay New Year's greetings? ”

Li Yao had a good impression of her eldest uncle and second uncle, so she felt that the Lu family should be very good, so she specially asked her mother.

Guan Xinyue pursed her lips and smiled when she heard this.

Li Yao felt that Guan Xinyue's smile was not quite right, as if she was sneering.

She blinked, feeling a sense of foreboding.

When her mother mentioned the third uncle of the Guan family to her, it seemed to be such a smile.

"There's no need to go, it is estimated that someone from Xinwu Houfu should come in the next two days." Guan Xinyue replied after sneering.

Li Yao heard that there was no joy in Guan Xinyue's tone, and there was a little indifference, if the mother mentioned the person she liked, it shouldn't be this tone, so she asked a little carefully: "Mother, little aunt and little aunt...... It won't be the same as the third uncle and third aunt, right? ”

Guan Xinyue glanced at Li Yao meaningfully, and asked instead of answering: "Do you know the inheritance system of our Great Zhou Prince?" ”

Li Yao nodded when she heard this, and said, "I know, Aunt Hui told me." ”

In addition to the throne of King Muyang, the princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty did not have a hereditary system, but a demoted system, with one drop in three generations and one drop in one generation of titles.

Generally, the emperor's son, as long as he can survive until the new emperor ascends the throne and is still alive, and he has not committed any major crimes, he will be crowned king.

The throne can be inherited from the number of princes who received the title for a total of three generations, and after three generations he will be reduced to the king of the county, and after the king of the county will be reduced to the duke, and after the duke will inherit one generation, then the marquis, the earl, the viscount and the baron.

As for the inheritance of the throne, the first heir in order is the eldest son or grandson, then the rest of the sons or grandsons, and then the rest of the concubines.

But in addition to the designated heir, the rest of the sons and eldest daughters of the prince and the county king also have titles.

In addition to the prince can choose an heir to inherit his throne, the rest of the sons and concubines can also be awarded the title of county king or duke, that is, one level lower than the first heir, if the first heir is inherited the throne of the prince, the rest of the sons will inherit the county king, if the first heir is inherited the throne of the county king, the rest of the sons will inherit the duke, and the eldest daughter can also be named the county lord or county lord.

The sons of the county king, except for the first heir to inherit the position of the county king in the family, the rest of the sons and concubines are named dukes or earls, which are also one level lower than the first heir, and the eldest daughter can be named the county lord or township king.

After arriving at the duke, only the eldest son or eldest grandson can take the title, and the rest of the sons and concubines, including the eldest daughter, will not be granted any more titles.

In other words, a prince can guarantee that his children and grandchildren will become princes and nobles for many generations.

But this does not mean that if you become a king or a county king, you can get more money from the court if you have more children, but a large part of the original fief of the previous generation will be set aside for the eldest son, and the rest of the land will be divided into several points and distributed to the rest of the sons-in-law, concubines and eldest daughters.
