Back In Time For Imperial Examination Chapter 246

The long Lantern Festival holiday lasted from the 10th to the 20th of the lunar month, and together with the New Year's Day holiday from the 1st to the 5th of the lunar month, it was the only rest time for Ming officials in a year. Just after returning from their rare vacation, Emperor Hongzhi threw them an unauthorized edict, which immediately pushed the officials back from a semi-relaxed state to a tense combat state.

The battle between the monarch and his subjects, the battle between rites and laws, and the battle between rituals and systems.

Back then, Empress Dowager Qian had been in office for fifty years before the late Emperor conferred the title of Earl on her nephew's grandson. The current Empress has been in office for only three years but she already requested the title of Earl for her father. Now, less than three years later, she wants to add honorary titles and grant imperial edicts to him. This is too much of a reward!

Although Empress Zhang was favored, her father could not be compared with the nephew of Empress Qian, but he should be treated like the Queen Mother Wang's brother, Marquis Rui'an. Shouldn't he wait until the Queen has been in office for about 20 years before being given the title?

With this imperial edict of conferring the title, Zhang Guozhang attracted the attention of all the court members, and no one paid any attention to Ryan Cui, who was also granted a house on the same day.
