Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 781
According to the law of etiquette, when discussing such a major matter as the succession of the throne, the last emperor's edict should be followed, but the current situation in the Ming Dynasty is too special, and such a situation has formed.

It is also inappropriate for Wang Yan to preside over this discussion, but the old and prestigious princes of the old Zhu family are almost dead. The strongest Wang Yan came to host.

The conference hall is the original Fengtian hall, although the troops of Tang and Lu feudal clans are not at war like yesterday, but they are all murderous, standing in the conference hall with expressionless faces.

After Wang Yan finished speaking, the hall was quiet for a while. After discussions, both the Tang and Lu factions made preparations. Today is certain. After the Chu Party unifies their thinking, they are also ready to intervene at any time.

The two sides were silent for a while, and on the side of King Tang, Wanji came out and said: "The three things that King Hengyang mentioned yesterday were very reasonable after I went back to discuss them, but the two parties failed to reach a compromise. In order to prevent today's discussion, like As chaotic as yesterday, this cabinet thinks that we should set aside disputes and seek consensus in this discussion."

Shelving disputes and seeking consensus, these words are beautiful, but someone on King Lu's side snorted coldly, "How do you put aside the dispute?"

On the side of King Lu, many ministers are ready to fight. They must help King Lu to the top position. This is related to their future political future, and they must strive. If this is not achieved, who will agree with you.

Seeing this, Wang Yan frowned, raised his hand and said, "Old Wange, continue talking!"

Wanji ignored King Lu's side. The one they wanted to win over was Wang Yan. He cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, since the issue of succession cannot be settled, I think it's better to settle the other two matters first. But in these two matters Among them, the posthumous title and state funeral of Emperor Daxing are more urgent."

"Your Highness, everyone, half a month has passed since the death of Emperor Daxing, and now below Nanjing, according to the imperial edict of Emperor Daxing, he should be buried in Nanjing as soon as possible, so as to secure the spirit of Emperor Daxing in heaven." After Wang Yuanji finished speaking, Gu Yuanjing immediately came out to agree.

Emperor Longwu's coffin has been parked for many days. Although many measures have been taken, after all, in August, it has been delayed for so long, and it would be shameful to delay it any longer.

Wang Yan sensed the intention of the Tang-supporting faction, but he couldn't deny this matter, "Emperor Daxing really needs to be buried as soon as possible."

Seeing that Wang Yan agreed, Wan Wanji was overjoyed, and hurriedly cupped his hands to everyone in the hall, and said loudly: "Emperor Daxing has the power to turn the tide and rebuild the country. After discussing with several ministers, the posthumous title has been determined. , Said, Cheng Tianxu Zuo Kaiyun Tiren Article Fenwu Shengda Zhicheng supports the emperor. And the temple name can be Emperor Zhaozu!"

If the land is created, there is virtue, it is called Xiang; if the armor has labor, it is called Xiang;

After seventeen emperors in the Ming Dynasty, the good posthumous titles of Wen, Wu, Zhuang, Ding, Mu, Heng, Xiang, and Xiao in the posthumous posthumous law have basically been used up. Among the remaining beautiful posthumous posthumous titles, only "Xiang" The word is suitable for Longwu.

Most people would not object to this posthumous name, but the temple name was Zhaozu, and the King Lu's faction immediately exploded.

Generally speaking, the selection of characters for temple names does not refer to the posthumous posthumous law, but it also has the meaning of praise and derogation.

Taizu and Gaozu founded the country, Taizong and Gaozong carried forward and flourished.In addition, Zhezong, Xingzong, etc. are all good emperors who have made a difference.Shenzong and Yingzong have insufficient achievements, Dezong and Ningzong are too cowardly, Xuanzong, Zhenzong, Lizong, Daozong are too mysterious, Wenzong and Wuzong are praised in real terms, Muzong and Jingzong have equal merits and demerits, Guangzong, Xizong, Aizong are basically belittling A temple name that is about to perish.

If Longwu's temple name is Zhaozu, then he is the third person besides Taizu and Chengzu, and his status is higher than Song Gaozong. Since then, the legal system of Tang Fan has been stable, and King Lu is completely useless.

"That's not right, I think Zhaozu's temple name still needs to be negotiated!" Lu Wang's face was gloomy, Tang Fan didn't put aside the dispute, it was clearly a secret, and he immediately stood up in person.

It is impossible for King Lu to stand up. If the ministers under him are allowed to argue, Wanji will not be able to be suppressed at all. Only when he stands up can he show that there is no room for negotiation on this matter.

"The captives from the east invaded the south, and the country was in danger. The emperor Daxing ascended to the base of the crisis. He ruled the country for four years, and finally made great efforts to conquer the king. Today, he regained Nanjing, continued the country, and reopened the sun and the moon. With such achievements, why can't he be called Emperor Zhaozu?" !"

Although the king of Lu was big, Zheng Chenggong, who held a heavy army in his hand, did not fear him, and stepped forward to fight angrily.

"The Northern Kingdom is still in the hands of Donglu, and only half of the south of the Yangtze River is called the ancestor. It's really ridiculous. You are trying to make future generations laugh at the Emperor Daxing and embarrass my royal family." King Lu did not back down.

For a moment, King Lu and many officials of the Lu clan in the hall confronted each other coldly, resolutely opposing Zhaozu's temple name, and the ministers who supported the Tang faction also insisted with red faces, and the atmosphere in the meeting hall suddenly became tense.

It was said to put aside the dispute and seek a consensus, but the supporters of the Tang Dynasty wanted to hide their positions, and the King of Lu was not stupid, so they immediately quarreled.

The officials of the Chu Party in the hall looked at each other, and couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

They all held their breaths and pondered, looking for a solution, and the scene before them almost verified Gu Yanwu's analysis yesterday.

Tang Wang is not the best choice, and Lu Wang is not an idler. Now Tang Wang can't persuade the rebellious Lu Wang, and Lu Wang is not sure to solve it by force. If this fight continues, only both sides will suffer.

In the situation where the King Tang and the King Lu are at a stalemate, the Chu Party, as the largest power group, must come up with a third plan acceptable to the other two parties to end the dispute.

The Chu Party in the palace was afraid that there would be turmoil and harm the national fortune. Fortunately, they had already discussed the third plan yesterday.

"Quiet!" At this time, Wang Yan suddenly roared, and said angrily word by word, "Shelving disputes and seeking consensus, is this shelving disputes?"

Hearing Wang Yan's sarcasm, the people on both sides fell silent.

"Since the dispute is set aside, the temple name will not be discussed for the time being." Wang Yanjian calmed down, waved his hand irritably, and said angrily.

The hall was silent for a while, Tang Wang's party was very annoyed when they saw that they had not achieved their goal, but their goal was to win over Wang Yan, and they dared not go against his will, so they stopped talking.

Seeing this, Gu Yuanjing pulled Wan Wanji, and the Tang Tang faction retreated to one side, letting the King of Lu to say that when the King of Lu fights and hates Wang Yan, they can achieve their goal.

The battle between the two parties was fierce, because Wang Yan stopped abruptly, and the Tang supporters immediately retreated to the side of the main hall, leaving the Lu Wang faction in the center, suddenly a little at a loss.
