Take Zhao Yuanzuo, the eldest son of Song Taizong, as an example, he was first crowned King Wei, and later became the King of Chu. He was demoted to a concubine because of his affairs. Zhenzong succeeded to the throne and reinstated the king of Chu. Renzong succeeded to the throne, posthumously crowned the king of Qi, changed the title of King Lu, and then changed the title of King of Wei.
From the above text, it can be basically judged that the king of Chu is higher than the king of Wei, and the king of Qi is higher than the king of Chu, but what is the status of King Lu and King Wei, is it higher or lower than before, and who is higher than the two of them?
After reading the following, you will know it all.
At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, there were twelve ranks, namely:
Wang, also known as the prince, is the first product, the heir king, the county king, the national prince, from the first product, the county prince, the founding prince, the founding county, the second product, the founding county prince, from the second product, the founding marquis, from the third product, the founding uncle, the fourth product, the founding son, the fifth product, the founding man, from the fifth product.
The heir king, the county prince, and the founding prince are not sealed, and the ninth rank is retained.
In the Song Dynasty, the feudal king showed his status, but there was no actual benefit, and the food was empty, and only the actual feudal food that was rewarded separately could be rich.
According to the records of the sub-catalogue of the names of the counties and countries of the Song Dynasty in the eighteenth geographical category of the "Jade Sea", in the first month of the third year of Jingyou (1036 AD), Zhang Dexiang and others assessed the third-class country names. It is divided into large countries, sub-countries, and small countries. The prince is generally crowned from the county duke, promoted to the prince, the county king, and the king, and the king is selected from the small country, the sub-country, and the big country when the king is crowned.

Remember, it's not necessary, you can check it when you need to. Now back to the question at the beginning of the article, the order of King Wei, King Chu, King Lu, and King Wei is Wei (great power) Chu (great country) Wei (sub-country) Lu (sub-country).
To give another example, Zhao Yu, the tenth son of Song Shenzong, was first named the Duke of the Kingdom. Zhezong Dynasty, the king of Xianning County. After that, he entered the king of Xin. Huizong Dynasty, into the King of Wei, King Wei, King Yan.
