Wanli Xinming

Chapter 327
Zhu Yijun felt deeply, and instructed on Zhang Siwei's memorial: "The Ministry of Rites has written and promulgated it."

According to the current imperial style, Zhu Yijun decreed that the posthumous title of Zhang Juzheng should be negotiated by the Political Affairs Hall, which is a special decree.Although the Zhengshitang is above the Ministry of Rites, the specific implementation of matters should be placed in the Ministry of Rites.But as far as this matter is concerned, the prime minister and the minister have made a statement, the emperor has signed and approved, and the Ministry of Rites has no room to say anything, just follow the procedures.

With the emperor's will of the memorial issued, from the attendant room to the six divisions.Because the attendant's room named the matter and set it up, Qi Shichen didn't dare to delay in receiving the matter, that is, the etiquette department gave the matter to Vientiane Spring.

Wanxiangchun opened Zhang Siwei's memorial, took a breath, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Go and call Mr. Taichu."

Qi Shichen had also read the memorial, and knew that this hot potato, Wanxiangchun, could not afford it alone, so he would have to discuss with Wang Shixing in the matter, and hurriedly ran out and called him over.

Wang Shixing and Wanxiangchun belong to the same department. They are both Jinshi in the fifth year of Wanli, and they are older than Wanxiangchun. Although Wanxiangchun has a higher position than him, he is usually very polite and is called by his nickname "Tai Chu".

After Wang Shixing read the memorial and the emperor's instructions, Wanxiangchun smiled bitterly: "Mr. Taichu, there is no precedent to follow this posthumous post since the establishment of the dynasty -- and the word 'wen' is the posthumous posthumous title of the emperor, so why are people and ministers? Inherit it?"

Wang Shixing was the nephew of Wang Zongmu, who advocated shipping and dried up the chief yamen, and a human geographer who was as famous as Xu Xiake.He has a witty personality and loves to travel. Although he is nearing in age, he is not confused, but he has traveled across the country several times. Wherever he goes, he carefully examines every rock, hole, grass, and every little bit of wood; , extensive investigations, detailed records, and writings - later Xu Xiake called him "Wang Shiyue" in "Travel Notes".

Seeing Wanxiangchun speaking in layman's language at this time, Wang Shixing smiled and said: "The Duke of Changzhou has been in the official department for a long time, and he is not very familiar with the Ministry of Rites." There are not many people who can understand the praise and criticism of this single posthumous title and two-character posthumous title."

Although Wanxiangchun is not too broad-minded, he also understands the character of his deputy. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "I would like to hear the details."

Wang Shixing said with a smile: "The so-called posthumous title of a courtier is 'Wenzheng', and a military minister is 'Zhongwu'. As for the courtier, it was called 'Wenzhen' in the early Tang and Song Dynasties. Then it was changed to 'Wenzheng'. Later, because Sima Guangyun's 'Wenzheng' was 'the most beautiful posthumous title, there is no way to add it', Wenzheng was regarded as a very beautiful posthumous title for a minister. Waiting for the lifelong desire."

"It is said that when Duke Li Wenzheng of this dynasty was dying, Yang Yiqing visited him and said that he would give him the posthumous title Wenzheng. Li Dongyang was so excited that he jumped up and wanted to kowtow for him. At that time, people wrote a poem ironically and said: 'Wenzheng has always been posthumous King Fan, but now Wenzheng is difficult. The strong wind blows to the plane tree, and others say that it is short and long.'" Wanxiangchun laughed when he heard it.

Wang Shixing went on to say: "During the Tang and early Song Dynasties, the double word was beautiful, followed by the single word. The so-called 'national story, the posthumous title of the minister has two words to show good virtue.' At that time, Han Wengong, Bai Letian Etc., they all have the posthumous title of 'Wen', and their achievements are much different from those of Wei Zheng and Lu Xiangxian."

"But after Song Renzong, the posthumous title was prosperous, and the battle between the single posthumous title and the two-character posthumous title was over. After that, except for Wang Anshi, Zhu Wengong, etc. who were entitled to the Confucian Temple, all others, regardless of their official position, were double posthumous titles. For example, Shao Kangjie, Zeng Wending, etc. ——The official position of Yanyong is no more than the school secretary, and Zeng Gong is also a scholar of the middle school."

When Wanxiangchun heard the words "Enjoy the Confucian Temple", her expression changed, and her heart was clenched tightly like a boa constrictor.A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth and said, "I heard that Duke Jing's posthumous title of 'Wen' conceals his evil.

Wang Shixing shook his head when he heard the words: "No! No! Let me first say that Zhu Wengong did not have a posthumous title eight years after his death. Mi Zhengyan said, "Confucius' way was enlightened by relying on Zisi and Mencius. After the death of Zisi and Meng Ke, the enlightened became obscured. It was as dark as it was from the Han Dynasty, and it became clear in this dynasty. Lianxi and Hengqu It is secluded, the second son of Cheng lived in his light, and the disciples of the Cheng family booed his flames, and the holy way is brilliant!' As a result, Zhu Xi obtained the super-elegant single posthumous 'wen'. In the ninth year of Jiading, Zhang Shi posthumously "Xuan", Lu Zuqian The posthumous title is "Cheng". In 13 years, Zhou Dunyi's posthumous title was "Yuan", Cheng Hao's posthumous posthumous title was "Chun", and Cheng Yi's posthumous posthumous posthumous title was "Zheng". Afterwards, those with single posthumous posthumous titles will all be worthy of the glory of Confucius Temple!"

Wanxiangchun was speechless.

Wang Shixing continued: "Let's talk about Wang Anshi, the posthumous time is the first year of Shaosheng. At that time, Zhezong was in charge of the government, and he was determined to describe his father's reform cause because he changed the Yuan Shaosheng. He wanted to start a new party and give it to the late leader of the new party. Wang Anshi has a lofty position, so he was posthumously titled "Wenzheng" after the death of Wang Anshi's son-in-law, Cai Bian, regardless of his merits. Still in literature, Cai Bian can't be compared with Wang Anshi, and Wang Anshi is the father-in-law of Cai Wenzheng, and his posthumous title cannot be inferior to his son-in-law. Direct evidence!"

After saying this, Wang Shixing sneered again: "Because Sima Guang said that Wenzheng's posthumous title is the most beautiful, there is no way to add it. With Song Zhezong's temperament, Wang Anshi must be pressed against Sima Guang, haha!"

When Wanxiangchun heard this, he knew that the posthumous title 'Wen' was indeed the posthumous title the emperor wanted to give to Zhang Juzheng, and it was about to break the precedent of the state.Anyway, now that the reform is booming, there are many exceptions, and it is not bad.Hearing that, he just sighed:
"It was first named as a posthumous title, but in fact, it was actually awarded to the king of the county, and then accompanied by the imperial mausoleum, plus a posthumous title, or even a Confucian temple - the honor is too much!"

Wang Shixing hurriedly said: "Does Mr. Changzhou want to refute this will?" Wanxiangchun's face changed, and finally he gritted his teeth: "Oh, it's not worth it for this kind of thing!"

Wang Shixing said sternly: "The two people who have 'Wenzheng' in this dynasty are Li Xiya and Xie Qian. With the achievements of the king of Zhongxing County, how is it better than Li Xiya and Xie Qian? What's more—"

Wanxiangchun asked, "What's more?"

Wang Shixing said with a smile: "Your Majesty is reforming, how come you don't have Duke Wen's assistance? Haha, just kidding."

Wanxiangchun thoughtfully, smiled bitterly: "In the words of Mr. Taichu, I am the one who took the picture. Such an honor is not only for the merits of the king of the county."

Zhu Yijun raised Zhang Juzheng's Ai Rong to such a position. The main purpose was to reward his merits. There was also a meaning, as Wang Shixing suggested, to give a clear political signal to the court and the opposition—the reform was not a great cause that was abolished because of people, thinking that Zhang Juzheng died when he died. It can be counterattacked, and the mind of changing the country has stopped. Regardless of whether Mr. Zhang is here or not, the reform must continue to be vigorously promoted!
Because of Zhang Juzheng's passing away, the Forbidden City and the capital were peaceful - the trolls in the courtroom stopped a lot, and they didn't want to block the emperor at this time.

After Zhu Yijun scrutinized Zhang Juzheng's funeral, he returned to the harem when he saw that it was still early.Go for a walk in Empress Dowager Li's palace first and fulfill your duty of filial piety.

As soon as he entered the hall, he heard a burst of laughter in the hall.Zhu Yijun was curious, so he hurriedly stopped the announcement and walked slowly to the door of Cisheng's living room.

I saw a large carpet on the ground, and the jade mahjong was randomly placed on the ground.Prince Luo and Empress Dowager Cisheng sat opposite each other on the ground.At this time, he was taking out two biscuits and throwing them in front of Empress Li: "Grandson, two biscuits, or grandma?"

The Empress Dowager Cisheng smiled and said, "Can grandma use two four tubes?"

Prince Luo said: "That won't work, you can only use a big pancake."

The Empress Dowager Cisheng blushed: "It's not worth it, you go out."

Seeing that the old man and the young man were having fun, Zhu Yijun felt warm all of a sudden, because most of the depression brought about by Zhang Juzheng's passing away was relieved.After watching it quietly for a while, Fang let out a low cough.

Hearing his voice, Empress Li turned sideways and glanced, then stretched out to stand up.Zhu Yijun hurriedly walked two steps, sat on the carpet and said, "The Empress Dowager sits down." Empress Dowager Li did not move.

When Prince Luo saw his father coming, he threw the mahjong tiles in his hand, got up and saluted properly.Zhu Yijun asked with a smile, "Have you finished writing in big characters today?"

The five-year-old Prince Luo first glanced at Empress Dowager Li, and answered eloquently: "I have finished writing it. The Queen Mother also praised my writing well."

When Zhu Yijun heard it, he opened his hand and said, "Come to the royal father." Prince Luo timidly walked into his embrace.Zhu Yijun hugged him, sniffed his hair and said, "You didn't take a shower last night?"

Prince Luo became more and more cautious, twisting his body uneasy.Empress Dowager Li laughed and said, "You are so busy with state affairs that the children are afraid of you - now only six sons have been born, how many times have you held them together?"

Zhu Yijun was embarrassed and kissed Prince Luo's face with a slap.Empress Dowager Li sighed: "Prince Luo is sensible now. Although the emperor wants to accompany him more, he can't just kiss him. As the old saying goes, if you don't have a grandson or a child, if you don't have some righteous behavior, he will be even more lawless - you should also look for it. Some old gentlemen came and enlightened him."

After finishing speaking, he said angrily: "You and the queen, what are you thinking about every day? This folk child, at this time, should also invite a teacher, you are good, let him play crazy all day, run like a calf Like a child - the emperor is wise and talented, don't teach a Wuzong like that, it will be fatal!"

Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "That's not possible. I'll ask the teacher to teach him first. When he's older, let him go out of the palace to go to school."

After hearing this, Queen Mother Li said, "How to make it? How can Chang Hao be so precious, how can he mix with those students! I'm worried enough every day!"

Zhu Yijun glanced around and said with a wry smile: "The future emperor will grow within the square city wall and be accompanied by female eunuchs day and night. Can he still grow into a man?" After speaking, he patted Prince Luo on the small shoulder and said: "Always think of a way to let him know how to get along with people, instead of the world revolving around him."

Empress Dowager Li glared at him and said, "He will be—well, of course the world revolves around him!"

Zhu Yijun: "."

　What about the education of the prince?Hey, I'm so worried.
