Chapter 274 (1/2)
Later, two news spread all over the territory. One was that Zhao Tian, the hereditary Viscount of Yongfeng, died unexpectedly. Zhao Fengnian inherited his father's title and territory and became the Yongfeng leader.
Those who heard this news were not surprised that hereditary titles and territories were not like ordinary nobles. If the owner dies, if the heir is young and does not have a title, the Lord of the territory will be re appointed.
Hereditary titles and territories have the privilege of being handed down from generation to generation, regardless of age or ability.
As long as you don't make big mistakes and the territory doesn't govern too badly, the title will always exist.
This was the special title that came into being in the war years, and now the Empire will not issue such titles any more.
Of course, this news is good news among the bad news for the residents.
They used to regard Zhao Fengnian as the true God in their hearts. Zhao Fengnian inherited the position of Lord, which was regarded as popular expectation.
Then came the second message: Lord Zhao Fengnian was too sad for his father's death. He decided to keep filial piety for a year, to show filial piety.
When this news was released, it caused a great stir in the aristocratic circle. One year of filial piety? It's not bullshit, is it?
This is only said among the common people, although the ancient system also required the aristocracy to do so.
But is there anything that the nobleman can do? You can't go out to the parties, you can't enjoy the luxurious life. What's more, you can't get drunk!
It's something the nobles can't imagine!
Even among the people, this view is not so strict. Otherwise, in terms of rules, the process is too complicated. How can the common people live?
So now can do in a certain period of time not greedy for pleasure, even if it is one of the models.
