From being the ruler of five prefectures and five countries to the ruler of the four prefectures of Jiangdong, this change in status is not just a simple difference in title.
It's a direct drop from being the Master of Yangzhou who originally controlled ten prefectures, and even the Supreme Dominator of the world, to becoming a regional power within Yangzhou.
Ning Country, which originally held an equal status with Zhou and Liang, suddenly falls into a similar position as a vassal state of the two countries.
