"Why was there suddenly an Imperial Edict, and why on earth was my father posthumously honored as Marquis Wu Lie? My second brother inherited the title of Marquis of Wucheng, and they even added an extra rank. What's going on?" Sun Ce asked Zhou Yu, utterly confused.
"How would I know?" Zhou Yu stared at the edict for a long time without noticing any issue. To be honest, it's just a case of 'can't see what's right under one's nose.' He completely overlooked the change in the seal on the edict. It used to be the emperor's private seal or the Grand Princess's private seal, but now it included the Imperial Jade Seal.
If previous edicts had issues of legitimacy, now that these edicts had been ratified by the court officials and stamped with the Imperial Jade Seal, they were bona fide Imperial Edicts and not just documents that could be refuted.
