I only want the benefits, not the trouble.

So Zhuang Zhouzhen asked this question directly:

"I want to ask, are there officials who only take benefits without having to do anything?"

Changle rolled his eyes:

"You're dreaming! You don't work for the court, but you still want to take advantage of it. If all the officials in the Tang Dynasty thought this way, the court would have been in chaos long ago."

"So there are no such officials?"

Zhuang Zhou was speechless, or rather, very disappointed.

He originally thought that he could get himself an official position and then not have to do anything.

Just enjoy the benefits of being an official.

But it doesn't seem to work.

But who knows.

Changle glanced at Li Junxian, wanting Li Junxian to answer.

I only heard Li Junxian say:

“There really are such officials in the imperial court. They are officials with only the title but no duties.

Of course, the same is true for titles. Among the five nobility ranks of Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, and Baron, many are merely titles without real power.”

Zhuang Zhou became excited when he heard it.

Title!

Although he doesn't know much about being an official.

But I've definitely heard of being conferred a title!

We often hear titles like Duke and Marquis in movies and TV dramas.

That would be a real honor for the family and a great relief for the ancestors!

So Zhuang Zhou became interested and asked shamelessly:

"Then can you talk to your father, no, your father, and ask him to get me a title?"

Zhuang Zhou was very interested, but Changle poured cold water on him:

"You're so bold! What a great contribution one must make to be awarded this title! Do you think it's that simple?"

Zhuang Zhou thought for a moment and said:

"What if I could ensure that all the people of the Tang Dynasty have enough to eat, so that they no longer suffer from hunger?"

“Is this a big enough contribution?”

Princess Changle: “???”
