Chapter 462: Heaven and Earth Karma, Jade Purity True Monarch

Prince ranks as the first-grade, while a provincial King is a lower first-grade, a Duke is a second-grade, a Marquis is a lower second-grade, while an Earl is a third-grade.

Such changes, though downsizing the nobles' ranks, allow them to genuinely enjoy the benefits of Divine Rank. The master of the Divine Dynasty who holds the Golden Book and Jade Scroll no longer needs to worry about the rebellion of the vassal kings. With a wave of his hand, he permits the royal relatives to take part in affairs of the imperial court, and ordinary royals can also participate in the imperial examinations.

With such adjustments, almost no complaints were left, and they also reduced the burden on the Court.

"Initially, the Great Ming court was only balanced between the noble and civil officials. Now, the royals are introduced to create a triumvirate, making the balancing process simpler." Reading about this, Pei Xuanjing marveled at the political skills of his nominal disciple.
