When this matter was brought up, the face of the Grand Empress Dowager Zheng darkened suddenly, and she let out a cold snort from her nose: "Isn't it that Prime Minister Wang, who has been obstructing and causing trouble at every turn? Otherwise, this matter should have been settled long ago."
Zheng Chen calmly picked up the conversation: "The Emperor said that the Nanyang County Princess submitted a memorial, asking for Mr. Cui to be conferred the title of Marquis. This reward is indeed astonishing and unprecedented. Cui Du is not yet of age. If he is made a Marquis early on and achieves great merit later, wouldn't he then be made a Duke?"
"Prime Minister Wang's obstruction of this matter is not entirely out of self-interest."
