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 issued and handed them over to the Ministry of Education.

After being approved by the Menxia Province, it was 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 to the Ministry of Education.

When the doctor from Zhongshu Province saw that Zhao Hanzhang had suppressed so many official documents and only passed these four, he suddenly felt uneasy, undecided, and 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 documents 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 anything wrong with the official documents."

The doctor then agreed and retreated to draft an edict.

The 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 remaining edicts to arrive.

But when he didn't wait, he didn't wait the next day either. Someone from the Ministry of Rites came and asked, "Why were only four edicts approved?"

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

The provincial government 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 Zhongshu Ministry has only sent four edicts. We will review as many as we send. If you have any opinions, go to Ming Zhongshu."

Naturally, the junior official in the Ministry of Rites did not dare to go directly to Ming Yu, so he ran to 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 titles and titles are quite high.

The edict was published in the Di newspaper, and at the same time, newspapers reported 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 large sections 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 it's 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 stopped mentioning 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 couldn't make a judgment, so he had to ask his superiors for help.

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

One person said that the biological parents should be sealed, and the other said that the husband's family should be sealed.

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.

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

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

There were a total of eight cases, 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? You want to reconcile or separate your family because of the title of Marquis Xuande?"

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

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

All eight families stood in the middle.

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

The eight families all stood to the right 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 and hesitated to move. Director Wang smiled and said: "So, your decision is quite unanimous, isn't it? You all agree that your daughter will be the wife of your husband."

Bajia didn't recognize it and quickly stood to the right. (End of chapter)
