At the court, only fourth-grade and above officials, both civil and military, could receive divine enfeoffment. The rest could only attain Qi Yun. Titles were granted through official seals.
Since the nobles were fewer in number, all dukes and marquis received enfeoffment. Although they had divine position records, they did not have subordinate divine positions. Only those with real positions could receive subordinate divine assistance.
The situation was similar for relatives. Depending on the nobles' ranks, only princes, dukes, and their heirs and grandsons could have divine positions.
Of course, the most surprising part was the so-called passing on to wives and children. The rightful wives and eldest sons of all fourth-grade or above officials, dukes, and marquis enjoyed protection, but no one else did.
