Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

Chapter 458 - 458 449

?Chapter 458: 449 Chapter 458: 449 Wang Cheng said that his mother passed away early, and it was his sister who raised him from when he was one until he was six years old. His life after being sold at six years old was unbearably harsh. His sister was the only one kind to him during his childhood, so he wanted to request an imperial edict on his sister’s behalf.

Mr. Chu, the third master, was also in the Golden Hall, and he reported to the Emperor that Wang Cheng’s sister was previously Chen Shiying’s foster daughter.

The Emperor knew that Chen Shiying was raised as a foster daughter. Hearing that this foster daughter was also the sister who raised Wang Cheng, he thought that it was uncannily coincidental. The Emperor commented that Chen Shiying was intelligent and composed, while Wang Cheng was brave and resolute, their integrity remained despite physical disabilities, and they were both vital pillars for the Dashun dynasty. To have raised two such individuals, Mrs. Wang must indeed be a woman of outer beauty and inner intelligence, with a resilient personality…

The Emperor not only granted Wang Cheng’s request, but also conferred imperial titles upon Mrs. Wang, the sister of Wang Cheng, and his wife, Mrs. Liu, naming them both “appropriate ladies”. At the same time, the Emperor posthumously granted the same title to Mrs. He, Wang Cheng’s mother.

An official of the fifth rank or above can request imperial titles for their mother and wife. Since Wang Cheng’s mother had passed away, he wished to request the same for his sister who was like a mother to him. Unexpectedly, the Emperor granted titles not only to his sister but also posthumously to his mother.

Wang Cheng was so moved that he wept bitterly, repeatedly praising the Emperor’s kindness.

As for Shaanxi’s total commander, Yang Qing, who falsely claimed Wang Cheng’s military merits, he was accused of deceiving the emperor and harming loyal officials. He was dismissed by the emperor, his property was confiscated, and he was sentenced to be executed after the autumn. All who helped Yang Qing falsely claim military merits were also dismissed. Some were executed, others were imprisoned.

These people were all capable officers of the Second Prince’s party, they were senior officials of the third rank or above, among them were two of the king’s maternal uncles. Due to the failure of the king’s uncle to supervise his clansmen, the emperor issued a decree of reprimand to him.
