Dajin royal family

Chapter 373 The Change of Luoyang ([-])

Regarding posthumous titles, we have to start from the ancient system, but that is a long story.

To put it simply, the emperor is generally given a posthumous title based on what the emperor did during his lifetime.

For example, the founding emperor of the Jin Dynasty, because he unified the world and ended the war in the Central Plains, was quite outstanding in martial arts, so after his death, he was named Gaozu in the temple and posthumously named Emperor Wu.

This can be regarded as an affirmation of the achievements of Emperor Gaozu Wu. This "Wu" is a beautiful posthumous posthumous title.

It is called martial arts to control disasters and chaos, and to conquer with soldiers, so it can be settled.

The reason why counselors say that the emperor is not worthy of Emperor Wen is because the posthumous title of 'Wen' is also a beautiful posthumous title.

But looking at what the emperor has done, he really doesn't deserve it!
So it was really difficult for Pei Ju to refute for a while.

The counselor continued: "As for the temple name Taizong, that is even more inappropriate!"

"The first sage said that the ancestors had meritorious deeds, but the clan had virtues. But when the first emperor was in power, he treated Li Shu harshly, extorted money, dug the Grand Canal, conquered Goguryeo, and consumed the power of the people. How can he be worthy of Taizong!"

"Besides, our dynasty inherited the Han system, so how can we arbitrarily honor the temple name like this!"

The temple name and posthumous title are different again.

The biggest difference between them is that every emperor can have a posthumous title, but not every emperor can have a temple title.

As far as the Han Dynasty is concerned, Liu Bang's temple name Gaozu is completely fine, but his son Hanhui Emperor Liu Ying has no temple name.

And Liu Ying's younger brother Liu Heng is Emperor Taizong Xiaowen.

The reason why the posthumous title is Xiaowen is because the Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, so the emperor's posthumous title has a word of filial piety.

For example, the later Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was Emperor Sejong Xiaowu.

So here comes the question, Liu Bang has a temple name, why doesn't Liu Ying have one?But Liu Ying's younger brother Liu Heng has?

Furthermore, the son of Han Taizong Xiaowen Emperor Liu Heng, Han Jingdi Liu Qi also has no temple name, but Han Wudi Liu Che has the temple name Sejong?

To put it simply, this is based on the emperor's actions during his lifetime.

The quality of the posthumous title is determined by the emperor's actions.

Whether there is a temple name or not depends on the actions of the emperor.

Liu Bang established the Great Han, so he is Emperor Gaozu.

Liu Ying is cowardly and incompetent, so he has no temple name.

Liu Heng accumulated national power and created the rule of Wenjing, so he has a temple name.

As for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there is no need to say more, so he also has a temple name.

So what is the difference between an emperor with a temple name and an emperor without a temple name?

To sum it up in two words is sacrifice!

The emperor with a temple name, as long as the dynasty is not destroyed, will always be enshrined in blood.As for the emperor without a temple name, the sacrifice after three generations will all depend on the emperor's mood at that time.

The temple name is actually used to affirm the emperor's achievements in the final analysis.

No, that would be embarrassing.

If the Jin Dynasty did not fully inherit the Han system, then of course they can come wherever they want.

But the Jin Dynasty inherited the Han system, so it can't be done.

The Han Dynasty was very strict about the temple name. Even emperors like Han Jingdi Liu Qi did not have a temple name. What qualifications does this emperor who has just died have?
Therefore, Pei Ju had nothing to say, because it was a fact, and he could not refute it.

Yu Wenshu was very relieved to see Pei Ju being devastated. He looked at the counselor and said, "In Mr. Yi's opinion, what posthumous title should be bestowed on the late emperor?"

He automatically ignored the temple name, because the emperor Jiang Kuang was not worthy!
The counselor chuckled and spit out a word.

"Yang"

Hearing this, Pei Ju and the others changed their expressions drastically.

Those who go to Liyuan are called Yang, those who are good at inner far are called Yang, those who are good at negligence are called Yang, and those who want to work hard are called Yang.

This is tantamount to saying that the first emperor was a lustful, rude, treacherous, and oppressive emperor.

Pei Ju and the others were not easy to refute the emperor's treachery. After all, he forced the great families to die.

But lewdness is a fabrication.

As for oppressing the people, the emperor didn't do anything, at least he didn't oppress the people in the south of the Yangtze River, so this posthumous title was deliberately used to disgust the dead emperor.

The purpose is to crucify the emperor on the pillar of shame in the annals of history!

"Nonsense!" Zheng Shanyuan interrupted, and said: "Even if Your Majesty is at fault, how can you posthumously posthumously title 'Yang'? This is a false accusation!"

"That's right, I don't agree either!" Pei Ju also had a gloomy face.

Although he has no feelings for the emperor, but if the emperor is given 'Yang' posthumously, what is he, a courtier who once served the emperor?
Aiding evil?

They don't have to dispute the temple name, but the posthumous title must be contested, because the posthumous title of 'Yang' is not only a disgrace, but also a denial of the emperor and a false accusation of the emperor.

Because of the posthumous title, the two sides fought.

After about two hours, Yu Wenshu compromised.

There is no way to compromise, and there is no point in arguing with Pei Ju for a broken posthumous title.

In the end, the emperor was posthumously given the posthumous title 'Li'.

Not regretting the past is called cruelty, knowing the past and not changing it is called cruelty.

Compared with 'Yang', 'Li' is much better.

The matter of the posthumous name is over, and next, they have to discuss another matter.

The new emperor ascends the throne!

Regarding this matter, Pei Ju and others were all silent.

Not only do they not want to talk, but they also want to laugh.

The last son of an offshoot of a clan, a three-year-old child, is going to become the king of a country.

What is the difference between you Yu Wenshu and Wang Mang?
Furthermore, are their objections useful?
Useless!

The posthumous title Yuwenshu can be given up, because the emperor is a dead man.

The fight is just to disgust the emperor.

But the new emperor Yu Wenshu would not give in, because it was related to Yu Wenshu's authority.

Therefore, when Yu Wenshu brought up this topic, all the ministers present were silent.

Revolt?

Yu Zheng's head was still hanging outside.

Yu Wenshu was very satisfied with the reaction of the ministers.

What he wants is silence. There must be no mistakes in the affairs of the new emperor. It is related to his plan to ascend the throne in the future.

He didn't want to find an adult clan to inherit the throne, so he would have to keep an eye on the palace.

"Okay, that's it, let's let the new emperor ascend the throne tomorrow." Yu Wenshu decided.

No one echoed him, everyone was silent.

Yu Wenshu didn't care, he acquiesced in public.

All the ministers sneered in their hearts, the emperor died only a day later, and an unknown child from the clan was about to ascend the throne.

From this point of view, Yu Wenshu just wanted to be Wang Mang.

After the matter of the new emperor was settled, the ministers felt that Yu Wenshu should have nothing to do.

However, Yu Wenshu did not let them go.

"Dear colleagues, now that the world is full of wars, the late emperor's great march came suddenly, and our troops have spread out. For the safety of Luoyang, but also for the Jin family, I decided to recall King Liang, General Changsun and others to come back and defend Luoyang together. , how do you colleagues agree?"

Pei Ju's complexion suddenly became weird, is Yu Wenshu crazy?

Will King Liang come back to die?
"However." Yu Wenshu turned around and said: "The king of Liang is leading the army outside, and he is arrogant and arrogant. Without the imperial edict of the late emperor, I am afraid that he will not come back, so I decided to recall the king of Liang in the name of the late emperor. Thank you all." How is it?"

Lie back and kill again?

Zheng Shanyuan sneered, he really regarded his grandson as a fool.

The ministers remained silent.

Yu Wenshu was not surprised, nodded and said, "Then it's decided."

The next day, the Hall of Light.

Yu Wenshu hugged the three-year-old little emperor Jiang Buyi and sat on the dragon couch. The little emperor was wearing a loose gown, and his small body was huddled in the clothes like a monkey.

Because of the rush of time, and because today was just a formality, no one sewed an imperial robe for the little emperor. He looked like a child wearing an adult's clothes.

In fact, it is true.

Yu Wenshu looked at the little emperor very satisfied, this is what he wanted.

The ministers in the palace looked at the little emperor on the dragon couch, and they were all ashamed.

Is this still the emperor?

This is clearly a puppet, a monkey!
Yu Wenshu winked at the counselor, who nodded, took out a will and began to read it.

The content of the posthumous edict is very simple. The first emperor passed on the throne to Jiang Buyi, named Yuwen Shu as King Xu, gave an overview of military and state affairs, and became the regent.His son Yu Wenhuaji was the king of Henan County and a general.Yu Wenzhi and Feng Xiangcheng County King, General
This series of appointments and rewards directly filled the court with Yu Wenshu's people.

However, Yu Wenshu still kept a little point. He asked Pei Ju and others to continue to serve as ministers in the court and handle state affairs for him.

This is his gesture.

"This king hereby announces that the name will be changed to Zhaowu!" Yu Wenshu said impassionedly: "Zhaozhao Wude, we will work together to protect His Majesty, sweep away Yunei, and return Jin Dynasty!"

Zheng Shanyuan was almost laughed at by Yu Wenshu at this moment.

Zhaowu?

Pooh!
Not only was the year name in vain, but the two words were insulted.

Since you, Yu Wenshu, are also equipped with this year name, what kind of dog are you!

But he didn't say it, seeing Yu Wenshu's serious and funny performance, Zheng Shanyuan only had a sneer in his heart.

The little emperor licked his fingers, looked at the quiet atmosphere in the Guangming Palace, and suddenly cried out with a 'wow'.

Zheng Shanyuan and others felt sad, not only the little emperor cried, they actually cried too.

Emperor Wu and Emperor Li should have cried too. The ancestors of the Jin Dynasty, I am afraid that the coffin boards will be lifted.

Yu Wenshu frowned, and stared back at the little emperor.

He was talking, crying, crying, making noise.
