Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1491
Daliang won the country, the merits are in this world, not inherited from the ancestors, so the ancestor worship was arranged on the third day of the enthronement ceremony.

The Ancestral Temple located in the Forbidden City of Luoyang was completed a long time ago. Of course, it was originally built in the name of the former kings of the Sima clan of the former Jin Dynasty.It's just that after it was built, due to various reasons, the ancestors of the Sima family have not been enshrined. Up to now, it is still [-]% new, and finally ushered in a new owner.

Prior to this, the Shen family already had two ancestral temples. The first one was naturally the ancestral hall located in the old residence of Longxi in Wukang, and the second one was the family temple that Shen Zhezi set up in the Fengguozhong of Liangjun when he was granted the Duke of Liang. .Of course, if you want to talk about high standards, it is naturally the third Taimiao in Luoyang.

This time worshiping the ancestors was regarded as a relatively pure emperor's family affair, after all, the ancestors of the Shen family had never served as humane venerables.Therefore, it is not necessary for all Taiwan ministers to attend the ceremony, but after all, the Tian family is selfless, and it also involves the pursuit of respect by the ancestors of the Shen family, because it is followed by a ceremonial officer in Taiwan.

This time the ancestor worship was mainly attended by members of the Shen clan, and Shen Chong, as the father of the living emperor, was ruthlessly expelled.After all, sharing a son with Haotian has already left the realm of mortals, and if he is present, where should the emperor stand?Simply don't need to participate directly, just wait for the ceremony to be completed with peace of mind.

But Shen Chong doesn't have to be lonely because of this, he has already entered the Taimiao from the small town of Xuanren yesterday to worship his ancestors, but did he show off in front of his ancestors? It is not known if it is respected in the Taimiao.

Although the Wu Xing Shen family is not an old family of famous family, but it is also a deep-rooted Wuzhong wealthy family. The family lineage records are very clear. It can be traced back to the Guangwu Zhongxing period. On the other hand, there is no such long precedent and necessity.

In terms of respecting ancestors, Shen Zhezi also asked his father Shen Chong for his opinion, and considering etiquette and law, he decided to only go back three generations.Father Shen Chong is still alive.He has already occupied a quota, and Shen Zhezi's grandfather, Shen Lan, will be honored as Emperor Shizu Yuan, and his great-grandfather Shen Kui will be honored as Emperor Guang.

Originally, my father still hoped to add a temple name to his grandfather Shen Kui, but at this time the temple name is still relatively strict.In particular, Liang Xinli, who advertised that he pursued the rule of the Qin and Han Dynasties, even Shen Zhezi's own grandfather was able to add a temple name because his grandson's achievements and prestige were too high.

Shen Zhezi has never even met his own grandfather, let alone his great-grandfather, and he doesn't have a deep relationship with him. He only knows that this great-grandfather can be said to be an opportunity for the rise of their Longxi sect. His deeds during his lifetime are only that he served as a miser in the countryside in the late Han Dynasty.On the contrary, his grandfather, Shen Lan, indeed served as a military officer in the Eastern Wu court.

As for the Eastern Wu Danyang prefect Shen Ying who was forcibly brought up in the early years to put gold on his face, in fact, from the perspective of blood, he is not close to their Wukang Dongzong Longxi branch.

Carefully sorting out the fortune line of the Shen family made Shen Zhezi feel a sense of vicissitudes in the world.His great-grandfather's generation was only a small official in the village, and he barely qualified as a fish and meat village. By the time of his grandfather's generation, he had improved slightly, and he could barely catch up with the rich and powerful landlords in Soochow. , seems to have become the leading local tyrant in Jiangdong, especially after Yixing Zhou's desolation, he became the leader of Jiangdong's tyrant.

In Shen Zhezi's generation, the span is even greater. From a mere local tyrant who turned his family into a country, he jumped into the imperial family of Xiangguo!

There are many historical perspectives, and if you focus on the growth of the Shen family, it can also reflect the changes of the entire era.For example, his great-grandfather's generation was still at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The Shen family's prosperity at this stage can be regarded as an upward path opened for the poor and poor under the historical background of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The growth of Shen Zhezi's generation is enough to show the magnificence of the world and the drastic changes of the class.Of course, this can also be reflected in Shi Le, the former master of the later Zhao Dynasty, and the sentence of encountering clouds and mud before and after is far worse than that of Shen Zhezi.

The charm of history probably lies in this. Emperors, generals, and ministers, would they rather have kindness?

However, there is no rule to follow such a strong personal change of circumstances, and it is not completed under the background of the normal social order.

The greatness of the imperial examination system in the Sui and Tang Dynasties lies in the fact that the sharing of political resources can be said to have opened up a bridge between heaven and earth at once. This penetrating power is comparable to that of the Qin Dynasty, which directly linked the emperor's authority to each specific commoner.

From then on, even if it is a leader of Guizhou, there is an institutional path to rely on if he wants to realize the rise of the class and the change of circumstances.A person's struggle and success can be achieved through the rules and regulations, and it is no longer just the accumulation of hundreds of years and generations, or the unconventional opportunities brought about by the collapse of the world order.

Shen Zhezi has only scratched the surface of thinking about the reform of the talent selection system from thinking about the ancestors in the Taimiao.This is a task with a long way to go, and it is not easy to get results with a hot head, and as early as more than ten years ago, he has already begun to consciously carry out various preparations in the early stage, including the official examinations performed by the previous stage. In order to create a prerequisite atmosphere for the reform of the imperial examination system.

Of course, it would be a bit optimistic to think that the remnants of the previous political form could be resolved within a generation or two by virtue of the rise of the common people, landlords and Jinshi groups.Compared with the decentralization of knowledge, Jinshi group as a new political force to exert its supposed positive significance still needs the awakening of consciousness and the improvement of political awareness, which also has a long way to go.

In the real history, Jinshi of the common clan showed their strength as a political force, such as the party struggle between Niu and Li in Tang Dynasty, which is actually a not very glorious image.

Niu Sengru and Bai Minzhong, as representatives of Jinshi bureaucrats, suddenly gained power, and they were unable to effectively combine their own power with the overall plan of the society. The power they possessed was just a tool for the party to fight differences and use it for self-interest.Although Bai Minzhong has a cousin Bai Juyi who is famous for his poetry, but he only got the posthumous posthumous title of "ugly" in his life.

On the contrary, Li Deyu, who was born in the Li family of Zhao County, although he was regarded as a representative of the declining family, showed the true demeanor of the prime minister, and he played a vital role in the survival of Li Tang Sheji.

Of course, the specific level of personal political literacy or a certain stage of political struggle is not enough to explain large-scale problems.For example, Li Deyu's father, Li Jifu, is not a stalwart figure.

Therefore, although Shen Zhezi has established the general policy of the imperial examination reform, he is still waiting for a suitable opportunity in terms of specific implementation and implementation.At the very least, we have to wait until the integration of the North and the South has achieved some results, and the social order has been restored to accommodate a certain degree of turmoil.Before that, preparation and accumulation are still needed.

He's here, he's here, raising his hand is to give you a hammer. It's not that Shen Zhezi doesn't want to bear the labor pain, but he needs to consider Daliang Xinchao's ability to bear it.For example, the Grand Canal is beneficial for thousands of years, but at that time it was a neck rope that strangled the Sui Dynasty.With a long-term mind and a long-term view, one step falls into a shallow pit and breaks a leg.

Putting aside these miscellaneous thoughts, Shen Zhezi focused on the current ancestor worship ceremony.Although only two of the ancestors of the Shen family were honored to be honored, these two are not the only ones who need to be worshiped in the Taimiao, there are hundreds of tablets of other ancestors.

Although these ancestors who were not allowed to set up temples to enjoy sacrifices were placed out to enjoy sacrifices in today's ancestor worship ceremony, they will not be enshrined in the Taimiao since then, but need to be returned to the temple.

The Temple of the Son of Heaven, built for the seventh generation.Even if you are the son of heaven, you can only enjoy the right to worship and sacrifice for the descendants of the seventh generation. After the seventh generation, you need to move away from the Taimiao. The master who destroyed the temple is hidden in the temple. The position of the main sacrifice is the so-called Erzheng.

After the other ancestors entered, they would naturally not be able to enjoy the position of the official sacrifice, and could only stay in the mezzanine, and their status would naturally be greatly reduced.Of course, at the moment when Liang Xinli is established, even if it is just to make up the number of four relatives, two ancestors and seven ancestor temples, the number of places is still sufficient. There are temples but no names, and they are only called Zhao and Mu. , then there is an ancestor who can enjoy independent sacrifices and needs to be enshrined.

Of course, if there are rules, there will naturally be exceptions. Wen and Wu have merits and virtues, and they should be exhausted without embarrassment, but those who are established are not temples.The so-called immortality can be said to be the greatest compliment to an emperor's lifelong achievements. Often only the founding king and the master of ZTE can enjoy this honor, such as Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty, Liu Che, Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, etc.

People are not sages, who can have no desires, don't care about the front, but care about the back.In order to strive for such an honor that will last forever, there are many emperors in history who made some showy operations, and the most famous one is Tang Taizong Li Shimin.

In order to be able to stay in the Taimiao forever to enjoy the offerings from his descendants after death, Li Shimin was exhausted. There is no need to go into details about the process, but in the end he finally fulfilled his wish.On the contrary, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji among his descendants was as fierce as a tiger in his operation, but it ended in embarrassment in the end.

Of course, the emperors of all dynasties were also lucky, that is Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, who changed Taizong to Chengzu with the high-spirited gift of the descendant Emperor Jiajing, and also enjoyed the eternal honor.

But it turns out that the so-called immortality is just an unrealistic dream.If you don't do it, someone will come to do it.

Shen Zhezi, as the founding monarch of Daliang, was destined to enjoy the honor of being the ancestor of the Immortals, but he did not have any worries in this regard.Because when I worshiped in the Taimiao, thinking of these interesting things, I couldn't help being full of evil.

Of course, he didn't dare to hope that he could live forever. After all, the outcome would depend on whether the future generations were wise or stupid.But what other people have is something to be happy about, and the sense of happiness comes from this.

After offering sacrifices at the Taimiao, it was already dusk, and His Majesty the Emperor hurried back to the Forbidden City again, rested and waited for the officials to gather, and then headed for the small town of Xuanren in a mighty manner, leading the officials to give his father the title of Supreme Emperor.

　When writing this chapter, I read a little story casually, and it was later, sorry and sorry.With regard to incompetence, the emperors of the Tang Dynasty played the most show operations, and Jiajing played the most exciting ones. I haven't figured out the specific etiquette basis. If you only want to look at one thing, you can do it casually. If you want a specific and in-depth understanding, you still recommend yourself According to the investigation, the rules are different in different times. Relatively speaking, the Han Dynasty is more rigorous, and the Tang Dynasty is relatively rich in data, but it is also the most chaotic. . .
