Wei and Jin Cooks

 Zhao Hanzhang quickly gave them the answer.

 After accepting the leave, the Ministry of Rites finally compiled the list of titles to be granted and submitted them to the Ministry of Education.

 After being reviewed by the Menxia Province, it will be approved and submitted to the emperor.

Zhao Hanzhang looked at it and took the portions from Fan Ying, Chen Siniang, Sun Linghui, and Zhao Yunxin alone, and suppressed the others first.

 She approved the four official documents and handed them over to Zhongshu Sheng.

When the doctor of Zhongshu Province saw that Zhao Hanzhang had suppressed so many official documents and only passed these four, he suddenly felt uneasy and undecided, so he immediately went to find Fan Ying.

Fan Ying flipped through the four volumes of official documents and immediately understood what Zhao Hanzhang wanted to do. She immediately pushed the official document to the doctor and said: "There is a booklet about the father and mother of the Gaofeng family. It is not suitable for me to participate. Please submit it to Ming Zhongshu for decision." "

The doctor handed the official document to Ming Yu.

After Ming previewed it, he thought for a moment and said, "Let's draft the edict according to the official document."

“Your Majesty also has many volumes…”

Ming Yu said: "The imperial edict is the same as the reward. It needs to be done step by step. Don't worry. Just write these four edicts first. Your Majesty didn't say there was any problem with the official documents."

Only then did the doctor respond and retreat to draft an imperial edict.

The imperial edict was sent to the Ministry of Education for review. Seeing that the content had not changed, the Ministry of Education immediately approved the edict and sent it to the Ministry of Rites, and then waited for the rest of the edict to be delivered.

But he didn’t wait for the first time or the next day. Someone from the Ministry of Rites also came and asked, “Why were only four edicts approved?”

They worked hard for half a month to determine the titles based on the officials' titles and positions. They worked overtime until their eyes turned dark, and finally four of them were approved?

Hong Kong Province has gone too far. You should point out what they did wrong.

The Ministry of Menxia was also aggrieved and said: "We have reviewed and submitted the official documents, but the Ministry of Zhongshu has only sent four edicts. We will review as many as we send. If you have any opinions, please go to Ming Zhongshu."

The junior official in the Ministry of Rites naturally did not dare to go directly to Ming Yu, so he ran to find Zhao Cheng, the Minister of Rites.

Zhao Cheng thought for a moment and said: "Since only four edicts have been approved, let's issue these four first."

Fan Ying's parents have passed away, and she died heroically to protect Xiping County. She can be regarded as a hero. In addition to Fan Ying's meritorious service, the posthumous imperial titles and titles are not low.

The edict was published in the Di newspaper, and at the same time, there were newspapers reporting on the deeds of Fan Ying and her parents.

Then there is the story of Chen Siniang, one person a day. Ordinary people are always tired from reading long paragraphs of court messages, but they are very interested in reading these stories.

 Storytellers also prefer to tell stories. Finally, they no longer have to rack their brains to interpret official documents in newspapers. They like to tell more stories like this.

The story spread rapidly, and Xiping County soon saw the newspaper circulated from the capital. The bookstore here even published it twice, which was enough for several nearby counties to digest it.

They all knew the four people in the Di newspaper, and they were all from their Runan County. Soon, the stories of the other two people were also published in the newspaper and spread to the local area.

Fan Ying, Sun Linghui and Zhao Yunxin didn't care, but Chen Siniang's family exploded.

The Song family, who had been silent all this time, finally couldn't help it and went to the Xiping County Government Office to express their protest and opposition. They also went to the Chen family and said, "Sister-in-law is the daughter-in-law of our Song family. Even if she is a favor, she should be a favor to her husband's family. If a married woman is not married, she should be a favor to her husband's family." It’s the truth of Yin’s mother’s family.”

 In the past, the Chen family did not dare to confront the Song family, so when they knew that the Song family wanted Chen Siniang to be buried, they were dissatisfied, but because they failed, they did not pursue the case. But things are different now. They don’t want to lose their daughter Chen Siniang, and their ideas have even changed.

In the past, they always felt that it was not good for Chen Siniang to follow Zhao Hanzhang around, so they repeatedly persuaded her to return to the Song family and remain chaste, otherwise she could remarry and should not be exposed to the public.

After the news of Chen Siniang’s knighthood came, they no longer mentioned it, and even deliberately alienated the Song family, hoping to monopolize the benefits brought by this daughter.

 When the newspapers from the capital reached here and saw the title of Chen's parents in the Di's newspaper, they were even more unwilling to give up Chen Siniang's daughter.

So for the first time, they openly broke up with the Song family, "Our fourth mother has left your Song family a long time ago. Your Song family was so vicious back then. Once my short-lived son-in-law dies, you will bury your fourth mother." , Fortunately, Your Majesty came to the rescue, otherwise grass would have grown on our four mothers’ graves.”

Mr. Song was furious, "Don't you dare to slander me. How could our Song family do such a dishonorable thing? There is no such thing as burial. The fourth mother has not remarried for so many years. It can be seen that she still thinks about my son. As long as she... If she doesn't remarry, she will still be my Song family's daughter-in-law, and the title should also belong to our Song family."

The imperial court did not send the edict so quickly, so before the edict arrived, the two families were at odds over whose family Chen Siniang belonged to.

Even the magistrate of Xiping County could not make a judgment, so he could only ask his superiors for help.

The incident was so big that not only the people in Xiping County but also the entire Runan County knew about it. Everyone was curious and stood in line while eating melons.

 One person said that the biological parents should be granted a title, while the other said that the husband's family should be granted a title.

In just half a month, due to disagreements and fights between husband and wife, the county magistrates' ability to handle trivial cases increased sharply.

 Because of newspapers, news spread quickly, and the trend in Yuzhou soon spread to Yangzhou.

 Wang Dao himself never thought that one day he, the governor, would have to judge such a case.

Three county magistrates finally couldn't stand it any longer and led a group of people to the governor's office to hear the verdict and let Director Wang, who was smarter than them, decide who was right and who was wrong.

There were eight cases in total, belonging to three counties. They were all quarreled over Chen Si’s family’s different opinions on affairs, so they shouted the words “If you have different paths, don’t work together.” Husbands and wives wanted to reconcile, and brothers wanted to separate their families. Even parents have to renounce their children.

Director Wang sat in his seat and looked at the two distinct groups of people in the lobby, and slowly smiled, "Are you quarreling and disturbing the neighbors, and you want to reconcile or separate your family because of the imperial edict of Marquis Xuande?"

 The eight families nodded together, and then asked Wang Dao, "Your Majesty, should the title of Marquis Xuande be given to his natal family or her husband's family?"

 Wang Dao asked them, "Which of the eight families among you has a daughter? Stand in the middle."

 The eight families all stood in the middle.

 Wang Dao asked again, "Whose family has a son, please stand on the right side."

 The eight families all stood on the right side again.

Wang Dao said: "If you think your daughter-in-law will be able to ask for a royal title for her parents in the future, she should stand on the left."

 The eight families all stood to the left.

Director Wang added: "If you think your daughter will be capable in the future, whether she is married or not, you should ask her biological parents to stand on the right side."

The eight families vaguely understood, but hesitated and refused to move. Director Wang smiled and said: "So, your decision is quite unanimous, isn't it? You all agree that your daughter should be the husband's family."

 The eight families refused to recognize him and quickly stood to the right. (End of chapter)
