When it was Xu Qi 'an's turn, there were differences in opinions about the title of nobility. A small number of ministers agreed to grant the title. More people expressed that it was inappropriate.
In fact, there was nothing wrong with it. The title of nobility was not an official position, but a "reward" for those who had performed meritorious deeds. It was a means for the Imperial court to win over people's hearts.
In Xu Qi 'an's case, he was conferred a noble title after his death, which was only an honor for his death.
However, Xu Qi 'an was Wei Yuan's confidant, and it was a civil servant's instinct to argue with Wei Yuan. From the tax and silver case to the Sang Bo case, and then from the ping Yang Princess case to the Yunzhou case.
