Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 543 Posthumous Name
This year's post station is very busy. Half of the military performances are from Goguryeo, and the other half are from Shandong and Hebei. They have almost stopped, but another Lingnan popped up.

The rebellion in Lingnan is different from that in Hebei and Shandong. They are the big officials of the frontiers leading the army, and they are not on the same level as Wang Bo and others. It is equivalent to the San Francisco rebellion in the pockmarked period.

Zhou Zhongmou is Yang Ming's man, and now he is also being detained in Lingnan. He was originally his own man, but after a begging, he immediately became an enemy.

To deal with such a rebellion, we must be cautious and cautious. Wang Bo’s song of death in Liaodong waves can fool so many people. With a wave of arms, those who responded gathered.

The Liao tribe in Lingnan is in the semi-civilized stage. They don't even know what the Central Plains is like, they only know what the handsome chief tells them to do.

Therefore, the Lingnan rebellion was very harmful.

Wang Bo had already been escorted to the capital. Yang Ming really wanted to meet this famous figure in history, so he went directly to the prison in Dali Temple.

Yes, for rebels like Wang Bo who make slogans to kill the faint king, the prison of the Ministry of Punishment cannot hold him.

On the square in the middle of the cell, Wang Bo, dragging dozens of catties of iron chains on his hands and feet, was brought in front of Yang Ming.

This man was very strong, with a simple and honest face, and his two arms were extremely thick, which were out of proportion to his whole body and a little uncoordinated. He looked like a blacksmith.

Wang Bo glanced at the golden dragon embroidered on Yang Ming's robe, grinned and said:
"Prince?"

Yang Ming laughed and said, "It's hard for you to still call me Prince, Gu thought you were going to call me the son of the Hunjun."

Wang Bo grinned: "The emperor is tyrannical, but your reputation is still good. Of course, I know you must also be a sinister villain, but you are just pretending to be righteous."

Yang Ming hehe said: "Your Majesty is the father of all people, and is the father of the people. If Shandong is in trouble, the imperial court will naturally save it. Who are you? How dare you instigate the people to rebel?"

"Haha." Wang Bo looked up to the sky and laughed, "Rescue? Where is the rescue? The prince knows that after the spring of this year, the land of six counties in Shandong will be full of hungry people and famines everywhere. I didn't see it, I only saw the soldiers who drove the victims, the officials and gentry who fished and meat the common people, and Zhang Xutuo who suppressed the common people."

"May I ask?" Wang Bo looked directly at Yang Ming: "What use is such a kingly father? I just brought the vast number of dying people to beg for food."

Yang Ming said with a blank expression: "Because of your rebellion, how many civilians died in Shandong and Hebei? They shouldn't have died. Don't say these grandiose fallacies in front of Gu. You brought the people to beg for food? Is it to fill your stomach? I heard Within half a year, you raised more than a dozen concubines, and your life is quite nourishing."

Wang Bo sneered and didn't answer.

Yang Ming actually hated such rebels. Wang Bo was guilty of provoking such a big war for his own selfish desires under the banner of integrity.

But having said that, there would be no Wang Bo if the old man did not commit crimes.

It was Yang Guang's misconduct that gave birth to the soil for the rebellion in Shandong and Hebei.

The ass determines the head. For Yang Ming, Shandong is a rebellion of the mob, but in other words, it is called a peasant uprising.

Wang Bo lost, in the eyes of the imperial court, it was to wipe out the rebels, but on the other hand, it was a failure of the uprising.

There were not many real peasant uprisings in the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty. The current Wang Bo can be counted as one, but Wang Bo who became a big man in the later period of history is not counted, because at that time he already had the support of aristocratic families behind him, that is, he was later surrendered. Tang, otherwise he would be the next Zhai Rang.

You bear the risky things, and you don't have a share in the cake. This is the tragedy of civilian rebellion.

Looking at it now, Wang Bo is still a hard-headed person. He already knows his end, and he will probably be the same as Meng Rang, but he feels that he is not at a loss.

The group closed down less than a year after its establishment, but during this period, he enjoyed all the blessings that he would never have enjoyed in his life. When he forges iron, he can only fantasize in his mind.

Winners and losers, that's it, there is no right or wrong.

"My life is worth it." Wang Bo looked at Yang Ming with a satisfied face, "If you want to kill or cut, hurry up."

Yang Ming smiled: "He's a man, just wait slowly."

After finishing speaking, Yang Ming got up and left, ignoring Wang Bo's continuous abuse behind him.

Such a serious criminal, before the emperor sees him, can't lose a single hair, let alone torture. Wang Bo's last period of life will be quite comfortable.

In the seventh year of Daye, on the first day of December, the capital received a report that Duke Gao of the State of Qi died of illness.

There was a dead silence in the hall.

Perhaps there are many people here who once hoped that Gao Bin would die soon, but when they really heard that Gao Bin had passed away, they also sighed for a while.

In the Sui Dynasty, only officials of the third rank and above could be granted posthumous titles. Posthumous titles have one or two characters. The two-character Liguo has only granted one person so far.

And not all officials above the third rank will be sealed.

Two words are definitely higher than one word.

In history, Guo Yan’s posthumous title was Xiang after his death, Yu Wenshu’s posthumous title was Gong, Yang Xiong’s posthumous title was De, Li Baiyao’s father Li Delin’s posthumous title was Wen, Taishi Li Mu’s posthumous title was Zhuang. .

And Yang Su's posthumous title is Jingwu.

From righteousness to economics, it is called scenery, to care about the righteousness is called scenery, to spread righteousness and action is just called scenery, to achieve a big picture is called scenery, to be righteous is called scenery, to be able to look up to virtue is called scenery, to be in harmony with law and righteousness is called scenery, to illuminate the side Zhou Yuejing.

To be strong and upright is called martial arts, to be mighty and powerful is called martial arts, to control disasters and chaos is called martial arts, to overcome punishment and the people is called martial arts, and to boast a lot of ambition is called martial arts.

This is an absolutely beautiful posthumous title. Historically, Li Jing also had this posthumous title in the Tang Dynasty, and the posthumous titles of both master and apprentice were the same.

Then, as the only person who can firmly suppress Yang Su since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, Gao Yan's posthumous title must also be two characters, and he must posthumously give it to the prefect of the ten counties.

Both Yang Su and Yu Wenshu in history have this honor.

Yang Ming didn't need to discuss with anyone, he had already thought of Gao Yan's posthumous name.

Wen Zhong.

Wen: Jingwei Tiandi is called Wen, morality is widely read, being kind to the people is called Wen, benevolent to the people is called Wen, conferring titles on the people is called Wen, being diligent in learning is called Wen, being well-informed and seeing more is called Wen
Loyalty: Loyalty is called loyalty when one puts one's life at risk, loyalty is called loyalty when one considers one's country and forgets one's family, loyalty is called loyalty when one is devoted to one's virtuous persons, loyalty is called loyalty when one is endangering one's life and benefiting the country, loyalty is called loyalty when one does not think about one's life, one is loyal when one does not turn against one's face, and loyalty is pure and solid in prosperity and decline.
In fact, in the Sui Dynasty, it was not popular for the posthumous titles of civil officials to start with characters, and for generals to start with the character wu. This rule only began in the Song Dynasty, and the posthumous title of ministers also became a rule since the Song Dynasty.

In the Sui Dynasty, it is usually just one word, unless your contribution is particularly huge. Yang Su and Gao Yan are both the pillars of the country with both civil and military skills. .

Gao Yan assisted Yang Jian and his wife to set the basic political, economic, and military framework of the Sui Dynasty. This is a partial text.

And Gao Yan has always been called Dugu Gong by the world, which is to praise his loyalty. At first, only Yang Jian and his wife called him that, and later they all called him that.

When Yang Ming uttered the word Wen Zhong, everyone in the court had different expressions. They were definitely envious and jealous. Who wouldn't want to receive a posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous title?I thought it would be a good story for future generations.

"Gu can't be the lord, but Gu will play, please Your Majesty," Yang Ming said, "You don't need to discuss any more. Your Majesty has already rewarded Duke Dugu to enjoy the Emperor Gaozu's temple after his death. As for the gift from the ten counties, Duke Dugu is the Duke of Qi. Let's find ten counties in Qidi."

Minister of Rites Xu Shanxin nodded and said: "The Ministry of Rites will cooperate with Taichang Temple to make comprehensive preparations."

After the dynasty was over, Yang Ming went to the eldest princess's mansion immediately, and now he and Yang Lihua were in the capital, so he and Yang Lihua missed Gao Yan the most.

"The man has passed away, and I am old too," Yang Lihua said with a lonely expression, "I especially remember when I first met Gao Yan, he was only in his 30s, he was full of energy and vigor, decades passed like a white horse, alas"

Yang Ming said: "In the chaos in Shandong and Hebei, Gao Yan worked hard in the dark. His title is in Qidi, so it can be regarded as his own destiny."

Yang Lihua nodded: "You have chosen these two words very well. I support you. I will write to Amo and ask him for permission. Gao Yan has helped my Yang family and should not be compared to Yang Su. This outsider, the honor is slightly reduced."

Women are like this, they are very clearly divided between their own people and outsiders, just like Wu Zetian, who blindly reused her natal family's own people after she usurped the Tang Dynasty.

From the day Gao Yan was given the surname Dugu, he was one of his own, and he has proved this with decades of loyalty.

"Has Auntie heard about Lingnan?" Yang Ming changed the topic and asked.

Yang Lihua smiled: "The disease of scabies is nothing to worry about."

Yang Ming was stunned: "Is this still scabies?"

Yang Lihua said with a smile: "How much climate can the land of the Southern Barbarians become? Looking at the ancient and modern times, the rise of troops in the South of the Five Ridges only endangered a small part of the country, and he couldn't even cross the river. The land is sparsely populated, the farmland is insufficient, and the education has not yet been cultivated. They rebelled? Huh, it's just a minor illness. Ear."

You are really big, the boundaries of three and a half provinces, you don't take it seriously?
Seeing Yang Ming's puzzled face, Yang Lihua explained:

"Believe it or not, he didn't even dare to leave Lingnan because he didn't have food to supply [-] soldiers and horses. He was just putting on a show and wanted to negotiate terms with the imperial court. , but spent a lot of money from the court, Ning Changzhen probably didn't want money this time, but wanted power, in fact, he didn't want the court to get involved in Lingnan, so that he, the local emperor, could continue to do it in peace and stability."

Yang Ming frowned and said, "With Royal Father's temperament, he won't let it go."

Yang Lihua said solemnly:

"So you have to persuade him that since he succeeded to the throne, the national treasury has been running low every year, and there is no spare energy to clean up Lingnan. Forced use of troops will only be counterproductive. Ning Chang really saw this point before he dared to raise troops. He has ten guts, you can see if he dares to move."

You really know how to speak sarcastic words, my father's temper, can I persuade him?

"The aunt has to persuade her nephew together," Yang Ming said.

Yang Lihua couldn't help laughing and said: "Look at your helpless look, don't worry, I will help you."
