Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 739 Emperor Taizong Wu

The Emperor Daxing has regained restraint and put on the best coffin.

All the clothes worn by Emperor Daxing were replaced with those used by the emperor.

At the same time, the coffin of Emperor Daxing was also moved to the main hall of Jiangdu Imperial Palace.

Hundreds of officials wear hemp, and the three armies wear filial piety.

in the temple.

Empress Xiao dressed in sackcloth and filial piety for the Daxing Emperor.

Li Yuan also wore hemp and filial piety.

"Your Majesty, the imperial court cannot be without a king for a day, and the world cannot be without a master for a day. I ask your majesty to make a decree and choose a new king."

Empress Xiao killed Yu Wenhuaji, and her vengeance was avenged. Now she only thinks about Yang Guang's filial piety, and doesn't care about other things. Besides, she is a married woman, so she can't handle the chaotic affairs outside.

"Tang Guogong, you are a relative of the emperor and the prime minister chosen by Emperor Daxing during his lifetime. Now in Jiangdu City, the government and military affairs rely heavily on you."

"The old minister is terrified, and asks the empress to be regent."

Although Li Yuan is now the top leader in Jiangdu City, after all, Empress Xiao has the highest status. At this time, she should be asked to be the regent, which is also in line with the rules.

Empress Xiao was regent, and Li Yuan was assistant.

Before the two of them, the most important thing now is who will be the new king.However, Jiangdu City has lost all the sons of the royal family, leaving only two choices, either establish Luoyang's Yue Wang Yang Tong, or establish Chang'an's acting king Yang You.

The king of Yue is the grandson of the emperor's concubine, and the king of Dai is the eldest grandson of the emperor's concubine, but he is older than the king of Yue.

Lichang or Lidi?

"Duke Tang's intention?" Empress Xiao asked Li Yuan.

"Your Majesty, I think you should establish a heir."

Li Yuan replied, in fact, even if Yang You is not a direct descendant, he will support him, because he is in Guanzhong, and Yue Wang is in Luoyang.Li Yuan had already decided to go to Guanzhong, so he naturally wanted to embrace a grandson of the emperor in Guanzhong as emperor.

Xiao Shi knelt in front of the emperor's spirit, separated from Li Yuan by a screen.

Through the screen, Empress Xiao said, "Earlier Luo Cheng supported King Qi as Son of Heaven in Liaodong."

Before she finished speaking, Li Yuan interrupted her and said, "But Your Majesty has already designated Qi Wang Luo as a rebel, and deposed Qi Wang as a commoner."

"The king of Qi is also His Majesty's." Empress Xiao said.

Qi Wang Yang Hao is not only the son of the emperor, but also the biological son of Empress Xiao. Moreover, Empress Xiao, a woman in the harem, knows something about the current situation in the world. At the same time, it also formed an alliance with Dingxiang, Daibei, Shandong, and Jiangnan army towns.

It can be said that although it is not the strongest on the surface, it is actually far superior to Li Mi and others who claim to have millions of soldiers.

"Your Majesty, King Qi is in Liaodong, but he is actually just a puppet in Luo Cheng's hands." Li Yuan reminded Empress Xiao.

Empress Xiao remained silent behind the screen, in fact, in her heart, she had long believed that the Sui Dynasty was over.Although King Qi is Luo Cheng's puppet, how can the imperial court still have the slightest central authority?Even if Li Yuan can bring everyone back to Guanzhong, can he bring peace to the world?
Besides, Empress Xiao felt that if Li Yuan could really make a difference, the imperial court would just become Li Yuan's puppet.

There are too many such cases in ancient times.

So she has already looked away.

If Luo Cheng can be voted for, then this turmoil can end sooner. After all, Luo Siye is still her son-in-law, it is better than falling into the hands of Li Mi and Dou Jiande in the future.

However, although she had this intention, Li Yuan firmly disagreed.

"Then, according to the wishes of the assistant ministers, the replacement king will be appointed as the new king."

"Duke Tang, what about Emperor Daxing's posthumous name, temple name, and mountain mausoleum?" Empress Xiao asked again.

After the death of the emperor, there will be a posthumous title. The posthumous title is the evaluation of the emperor. There are evils and benefits, and there are praises and derogations.The temple name refers to the ancestors who have made great contributions to the country and deserve to be worshiped forever by their descendants. They will especially catch up with the temple name to see the meaning of setting up a temple for sacrifice forever.

Before the Sui Dynasty, not every emperor had a temple name. Generally, only special emperors would have a temple name. For example, in the Han Dynasty, only a few emperors had temple names.

For example, Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, had the temple name Shizong, and Emperor Wu had the posthumous title.

When Empress Xiao asked about the temple name, she implied that she would give the emperor a temple name.

Naturally, Li Yuan would not disobey Empress Xiao, and said, "I discussed with the ministers, and preliminarily selected Ming as the posthumous name and Gaozong as the temple name.

The founding emperor Yang Jian was Emperor Gaozuwen, with the posthumous title Wen and the temple name Gaozu.

The temple title of Gaozu is generally given to the founding emperors, such as Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and Yang Jian, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty.

"Gaibang is matched with heaven and earth, and it is Gaozu, and the honorary name is added to it. Although Zhaomu's Taizu Temple, this is also the temple of Gaozu."

In other words, Gaozu also means Taizu.

The posthumous title given to Yang Jian is quite remarkable.

There are many posthumous titles of emperors. Generally speaking, both civil and military are extremely high. There are more than 100 posthumous titles of emperors, and there is a strict system.

The posthumous title originated in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and it is a title that can summarize the merits and demerits of a lifetime after death for a person who had status during his lifetime.

So the posthumous titles are not reserved for the emperor, but nowadays, the emperor and his courtiers have different posthumous titles. The emperor has a set of posthumous titles for the emperor, civil servants have the same posthumous titles, and generals have the same posthumous titles.

Among the posthumous titles, there are those with high evaluation, which are called beautiful posthumous titles.Those with low evaluation are called evil posthumous titles, and those with medium evaluations are called flat posthumous titles.

Among those posthumous posthumous posthumous titles, five are the most used and most highly rated, namely Emperor Gao, Emperor Wen, Emperor Wu, Emperor Xuan and Emperor Ming.

To be able to get one of these five posthumous titles is quite remarkable.

Emperor Gao Zongming.

Gaozong is not as good as Taizu as the founding emperor, and Gaozong is not even as good as Taizong. Gaozong generally means an emperor with mixed merits and demerits, and the dynasty is at a time when it is turning from prosperity to decline.

And the posthumous posthumous title of Ming Dynasty is a beautiful posthumous posthumous title.

Of course, this is entirely because the Great Sui Dynasty is still there and the country has not yet subjugated, so Li Yuan, who still adheres to Sui orthodoxy, naturally has to choose a good posthumous posthumous title for the emperor, otherwise if he dares to choose a bad posthumous posthumous title like Emperor Yangdi or Emperor Ling , it is no different from rebellion.

Taboo for the respected, taboo for the relatives.

Empress Xiao had to hide it for her husband, and Li Yuan had to hide it for the venerable, so it can only be a beautiful posthumous title.

Don't even mention such an evil posthumous posthumous title as You Li Lingyang.

However, Li Yuan didn't give Yang Guang the posthumous title of Shangwu Ahxuan.

Illuminating the four directions is called Ming; thinking and thinking far away is called Ming; seeing only the foresight is called Ming;

But Empress Xiao was still a little dissatisfied with Emperor Ming. Empress Xiao's father, Xiao Kui, was Emperor Ming of Xiliang.

"Emperor Daxing spent his whole life expanding the frontiers and expanding the land, spreading his prestige in all directions. I thought he could become Emperor Wu."

Li Yuan frowned.

Emperor Wu has a very high evaluation. After all, there are emperors known as Emperor Wu in history. Which one is not a hero of the generation, such as Han Wu Emperor Liu Che, Han Guang Wu Emperor Liu Xiu, Wei Wu Emperor Cao Cao, Jin Wu Emperor Sima Yan, Song Wu Emperor Liu Yu?

Although Yang Guangwu is a martial artist, the whole world is about to be destroyed. How can he deserve the word "wu"?

But Empress Xiao didn't care, she thought she had to fight for a good posthumous title for her husband, which was the only thing a wife could do.

"The temple name is Taizong, and the posthumous title is Emperor Wu, how about it?" She changed the temple name of Gaozong chosen by Li Yuan.

Emperor Gao Zuwen created the founding emperor and was also the founding king of the country. He deserved the posthumous title of Emperor Shangwen, but how could Yang Guang deserve the title of Emperor Shangwu?
