Jingming

Chapter 83 Emperor Ruizong Lie

At the same time, the decree to pursue Yu Qian's posthumous title was also sent to Hangzhou.

In the second year of Hongzhi, Yu Qian was posthumously named Sumin, and an ancestral hall was built next to the tomb to accept worship.This time, it's time to upgrade.

And Yu Qian's descendants are also there, and his son Yu Mian later succeeded as deputy thousand households-this is the grace given by Emperor Xianzong.Yu Mian didn't want to be a military officer, so he became a member of the Ministry of War, Wailang, and finally got the official position of Yingtian Fu Yin.

However, the Yu family still obtained the military position of the hereditary Deputy Qianhu of the Hangzhou Guard, and now the officer in charge is Yu Yunzhong, the adopted son of Yu Mian, who had no descendant, from the family.

It was Wei Lin who went to Hangzhou to proclaim the decree. He had flattered the emperor, but now he is transitioning to the second line.But he still has the title of Supervisor of Rites and Bingbi, and the emperor paid enough attention to it.

Yu Yunzhong was going to Beijing to attend the ceremony.

On the side of the Ministry of Rites, Yuan Zonggao's subordinates had another incident.

For Yuan Zonggao, if he could achieve the posthumous title of Qian when he was serving as the Minister of Rites, it would be natural for him and Yu Qian to write together in the history of the future.

The old man was so excited.

It was not until the seventh day of May that Yuan Zonggao, who spent a few days familiarizing himself with the affairs after taking over the Ministry of Rites, presented the memorials of four important affairs a little later.

They are Zhu Houzhao's temple name, posthumous title, and the title plan of Queen Mother Zhang and Xingxian Wang couple.

He actually finished it all.

The emperor arrived at the East Corner Gate for the first time to attend a cabinet meeting.

The theme of today's meeting must be various numbers.

"The Emperor is here!"

Outside the east corner gate, Huang Jin's voice sounded.

Yang Tinghe and other four cabinet ministers, Yuan Zonggao himself, Yan Song and Liu Long, who were present as non-voting attendees, all stood up and prepared to kneel down to greet them.

"Sit down." Zhu Houcong said to Yuan Zonggao with a smile after sitting down, "Uncle Da Zong, you have worked hard. I was still wondering why it was delayed for several days, so it turned out that everyone was discussed."

"Since the ministers received the decree together, they are all discussed. It is better to discuss it together." Yuan Zonggao respectfully returned, "Please read it, Your Majesty."

Yang Tinghe and the others frowned and waited.

They have already read this memorial.

It includes not only the temple name, posthumous title, but also the ceremonial note for the posthumous posthumous title of Emperor Daxing.

As for the titles of Empress Dowager Zhang, King Xingxian and Princess Xingxian, they are divided into separate titles.

In the past ten days or so, Yuan Zonggao has just arrived at the Ministry of Rites and has managed all these four matters, which can be regarded as quite efficient.

You must know that there are other routine sacrificial matters to be arranged during this period.

Obviously, the rest of the Ministry of Rites knew Yuan Zonggao's identity very well.In these matters no one wanted to offend those whom the Emperor probably trusted most at the moment.

This "Emperor Daxing Respects Posthumous Rites" was signed by Yuan Zonggao together with officials from the government, marquis, son-in-law, Bo, Wufu, Liubu, Duchayuan and other yamen officials.

In fact, at this level, it is not easy for people in the cabinet to raise opinions.

"Cheng Tian Da Dao Ying Yi Rui Zhe Zhao De Xian Gong Wen Si Xiao Lie Emperor, temple name Rui Zong..." Zhu Houcong looked at Yang Tinghe, "Ge Lao, what do you think?"

Zhu Houcong felt a little weird when he saw the word Ruizong.

According to what Lao Qin said, this Ruizong... seems to be the temple name that Jiajing later honored when he gave King Xingxian the Zongfu Temple. Unexpectedly, Yuan Zonggao and the others gave it to Zhu Houzhao now.

However, Zhu Houzhao's original temple name Wuzong, the word Wu sounds good, but it implies derogatory meaning.

Because the temple name is different from the posthumous name.The temple name is used when offering sacrifices to the ancestors in the ancestral temple. Isn't the sacrifice to the ancestors just praising?Therefore, temple names are basically good characters.

The so-called meritorious service is called the ancestor, and the virtue is called the ancestor.What kind of ancestor is this, the emperor is not qualified to call it that.And what kind of sect, that is to use one word to praise his virtue.

The problem is that if the word "wu" is used to express virtue, it will inevitably have associations such as "reckless", "not emphasizing culture and education", "courageous but not resourceful" and so on.

In my memory, my cousin Houzhao was called Wuzong, and his posthumous title was Yi.

To kill the enemy with fruit is called perseverance, to be strong and able to break is called perseverance, to be brave and close to benevolence is called perseverance, to do good deeds without neglect is called perseverance...

This word is actually not bad.

But Emperor Wu Zongyi was not beautiful after all.

Yan Song also stopped writing and looked at Yang Tinghe, Emperor Rui Zonglie, which was inconsistent with Yang Tinghe's original wording in the last edict and the first edition of the enthronement edict.

As a senior bachelor of the Imperial Academy, Yan Song knew the content of the first edition of the enthronement edict.

Can you be called Rui if you can be "blinded" by traitors?

The Lie in the posthumous title not only has the meaning of making meritorious service with martial arts and peace of the people with merit, but also affirmed Zhu Houzhao's meritorious service.

As for Bingde and obeying the industry, Hongji Shengmin, and Zhuang Yilin, everyone has a different opinion.

Furthermore, the word "strength" also means unfulfilled ambitions.In addition, Zhu Houzhao has no heirs, and Liezi is also quite embarrassing.

Unpaid ambitions, why unpaid?
Yan Song felt that this temple name and posthumous title all involved the future generations' judgment on Zhu Houzhao, Yang Tinghe, the pair of monarchs and ministers, and it was easy to have many associations.

But to the surprise of both Zhu Houcong and Yan Song, Yang Tinghe said he didn't think much of it.

Pretty good, that's all.

Yang Tinghe's psychological pressure was not as great as they thought.

The dead are the great ones, and the venerables are taboo. What is it difficult for future generations to understand?

With that letter of thanks, the emperor's opinion of his cousin has long been made public.

In the posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous deeds, Rui is said to be thoughtful and far-sighted. Doesn't the emperor think that his cousin thinks far-sighted?Shengzhi Tongwei said Rui, looking at how many eunuchs Zhengde had, it can be regarded as expressing a small hint.

As for the explanation that can be used as a table of sage and consideration, let's regard it as the emperor who took over the throne from his cousin to give thanks and praise.

Now Yuan Zonggao presented the group of temple names and posthumous titles of Emperor Ruizonglie, Yang Tinghe said forget it.

There is nothing to argue about.

It's not that Yang Tinghe has no idea about the temple names and posthumous titles of Wuzong's final coffin, but the situation is different now.

The emperor respected his cousin, and the emperor was somewhat suspicious of Yang Tinghe's contribution and prestige.

In this matter, why bother?

The merits and demerits of Emperor Zhengde will not only stop at this temple name and posthumous title.Officials and literati who have experienced the Zhengde Dynasty will have their own judgments on the Zhengde Emperor in their writings and notes.

The most important thing is that Zhu Houcong performed too well in the Rijingmen fire incident and the subsequent Jingyan. Yang Tinghe didn't want to destroy the delicate "monarch and ministers as one mind" at this moment.

This matter passed quickly, and the titles of Empress Dowager Zhang, King Xingxian, and Princess Xingxian were next.

Empress Dowager Cishou added the word Zhaosheng in front of it, King Xingxian only pursued an emperor title and not the Zongfu Temple, and Princess Xingxian only added the title of Empress Dowager, Yang Tinghe just thought about it.

Yuan Zonggao is still okay with the old master. Although he didn't start with "X Tian X Di" like the officially reigning emperor, there are quite a few words after it.Among them, the posthumous title still uses the word Xian, after all, it was discussed after the death of King Xing at that time.

If you are well-informed and versatile, you can give it; if you are wise, you can give it; if you are wise, you can give it; if you are wise, you can give it...

This word is also a good word.

Zhu Houcong had no objection to these, but he was a little surprised that Yang Tinghe and others did not express their opinions.

It seems that before ascending the throne, discussing ceremonies, blocking hats during court meetings, and later listening to politics and listening to persuasion, they all performed very well. The "knowledge of the general situation" of the Nijingmen fire incident made Yang Tinghe both feel scruples and have a lot of expectations.

It can be said that pua has initially succeeded.

Then came the most concerned thing in Yang Tinghe's mind this time: "Your Majesty is as benevolent as the heavens. The news of chasing the posthumous posthumous title of Shaobao spread among scholars, and all the subjects of the world praised it. However, the old affairs of Emperor Yingzong and Emperor Jing were discussed among the people. Beautiful. I think that with the presence of the cabinet’s senior scholars and the Minister of Rites today, it’s better to agree on the posthumous title as soon as possible so as to reassure the hearts of the people in the world.”

Yan Song's heart suddenly jumped: Do you want to grab this reputation?I'm still waiting for Emperor Zhengde's temple title and posthumous title to be released, and I will hand in the memorial!

But Yang Tinghe's reason is very convincing: if the grievances and grievances between the two brothers Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Qiyu are brought up and discussed repeatedly, it will not be good after all.

Your Majesty, you don't want the common people to talk about your ancestors every day, do you?
Zhu Houcong smiled and asked, "Mr. Yang Ge, what do you think Yu Gong should pursue posthumously?"
