Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 394 Changle Emperor
Three days later, the prince succeeded to the throne and officially changed the Yuan.

Changing Yuan means changing the year name of the previous emperor, and Zhaoxing is the year name of the previous emperor, so it has to be changed now.

Regarding the year name, Sangong, Sangu, and scholars from various pavilions came up with a lot of ideas, and the Ministry of Rites gathered them together and handed them over to Canglong Hall for selection.

The year name selected at the beginning is Yongchu, which is a relatively traditional and ancient year name, which means that an eternal era has begun.

The prince didn't like this year name: "Who can be the emperor forever? Not right!"

The second year name chosen by Liang Jixiong was Jianwu. The crown prince conquered the north and opened up territories, so the year name Jianwu was well deserved.

The prince still didn't like it: "Mao Cha violated our frontiers, so he should be beaten hard, but if we want the country to be peaceful and the people safe, it is better to have fewer wars."

The third selected year name is Ganlu. The suffering of the Zhaoxing Dynasty has ended, and the Daxuan has a new Mingjun, just like Ganlu after a long drought.

The prince still didn't like it and didn't explain why.

In fact, there are reasons, but it is not convenient to explain clearly.

I became an emperor, as if it was based on the suffering my father brought. Do I, the emperor, have to stay in my father's shadow all the time?

inappropriate!

Zhiping, Kaiyuan, Jianlong, Hongguang... The Ministry of Rites presented more than a dozen reign names in a row, but the crown prince was not satisfied.

In the end, Liang Jixiong gave a suggestion: "You think of one yourself!"

"Think for yourself, think for yourself!" The prince thought for a long time, and finally thought of a year name, called Changle!

The reign name of Changle also appeared in the previous dynasties, that is, the Dayu Dynasty, but according to historical records, it was an emperor who indulged in drinking and sex all day long and did not do his job properly. He was a typical foolish emperor.

"Your Majesty, is it really appropriate to call this year?" Liang Jixiong was quite dissatisfied with this.

The crown prince shook his head and said, "Second brother..."

"I am your ancestor!"

"Old Ancestor, although Emperor Changle was not diligent, Changle was the most prosperous period of the Dayu Dynasty. He managed less and did more. He was always happy and the people were always happy. In fact, he was a good emperor. I want to be him For an emperor like that, just let Da Xuan live happily ever after!"

Liang Jixiong asked in amazement: "Is this written in the history books?"

"That's right!" The prince looked serious, "History books are complicated, and there are many records in the history books that Dayu, who lived in Changle, is comparable to me, Daxuan!"

Is there really such a history book?

Anyway, there is no official history.

These things were told by Li Shabai to the prince.

Liang Jixiong doubted what the prince said, but what should he do?

Ask the Ministry of Rites to check in the history books?
Why bother.

Why bother to embarrass Xinjun?
Forget it, since the prince can choose by himself, then according to his wishes, it is better to call it Changle.

There is a new year name, but Emperor Zhaoxing has to be given a title.

The living emperor has a year name, and the dead emperor should have a temple name.

A foolish emperor like him would not have a temple name, but at least he must have a posthumous title. The posthumous title of a faint emperor generally cannot escape the words "ling", "you", "li", and "min".

The prince thinks that "min" is more appropriate. When the country suffers from worry, it is called min. When the country encounters difficulties, it is called min. When there is disaster and chaos, it is called min. When the people are sad, it is called min, and when the people are hurt, it is called min. When you are in trouble, you are called Min, and when you are in danger, you are called Min.

According to the crown prince, the posthumous title of Emperor Zhaoxing should be Emperor Xuanmin.

As soon as the news got out, all the officials were furious, thinking that the word "愍" was inappropriate, and that the country was in trouble, and the country was in trouble, saying that it was as if Emperor Zhaoxing was born at an untimely time.

But in fact, Daxuan's misery was all caused by this stupid king.

Liang Jixiong also felt that it was inappropriate, and after discussing with the Ministry of Rites, he changed his posthumous title to "Li".

Killing the innocent is more severe, cruelty is more severe than having no relatives, being cruel and rude is more severe, supporting evil is more severe than righteousness, and talking long-tongued is more severe than misfortune. This is simply a portrayal of Emperor Zhaoxing's life.

According to Liang Jixiong's intention, it is very appropriate to lower his status from emperor to king and call him King Xuanli.

But he underestimated the hatred of the ministers towards Emperor Zhaoxing. After the Ministry of Rites discussed with the ministers, the ministers were still dissatisfied. In the end, the scholars of various book pavilions discussed and jointly played the performance, and gave Emperor Zhaoxing a posthumous title, ugly.

The prince was dumbfounded: "There is indeed a posthumous title of ugly, but it is not assigned to the emperor."

Liang Jixiong sighed: "Forget it, this matter should follow the wishes of the courtiers, otherwise this grievance will hardly come to an end."

King Xuan Chou drew a successful conclusion to Emperor Zhaoxing's life.

After the prince succeeded to the throne, he first rewarded the meritorious officials for their achievements.

Chu Xin made great contributions and was named Duke Protector.

After becoming the Duke, Chu Xin could not lead troops for a long time. This is the official system of Daxuan. The border wars are handed over to Ji Qi. Only in emergencies, Chu Xin can be ordered to lead troops as a chariot general.

Ji Qi was named the general of the town, and he was appointed as the second rank.

The rest of the generals who participated in the war were rewarded. Qiao Shungang was appointed as the head of Qianhu, Meng Shizhen was promoted to be the Green Lantern, and Li Pu'an, Ma Guangli, Chu He and others were promoted to the Green Lantern.

Yu Shan was promoted to General Wuwei, and Bai Zihe was promoted to Captain of Shangqi, both of whom were fifth-rank officials.

Because Wang Zhennan was proficient in Tunu language, he stayed in the northern border as a sixth-rank Xiaoqi captain.

Looking at the vast snow, Wang Zhennan sighed: "My eight wives have to endure loneliness..."

The butler stepped forward and said, "Master, the matchmaker has arrived, and the girl from the Luo family has also arrived."

"Bring it in!"

Wang Zhennan sighed again: "I'm afraid you will be lonely, and I will find you a sister."

In the battle of the Southern Expedition, Tsing Yi Pavilion made outstanding military exploits. Jiang Feili was promoted to the commander of the Imperial City Division, the fourth rank, and Qi Shuiyun, Li Xuefei, Yu Chilan, Lan Hongjin, Qiao Hongliu and others under her command were all awarded.

Lin Tianzheng and Zuo Chuxian were granted the title of Zhengyi doctor, and they were appointed as third-rank official officials. They were paid, but they had no real power. Their disciples who participated in the war were also highly valued.

In addition to those with military exploits, upright and loyal ministers like Yushi Wang Yanyang and Qiu Dongcai were also promoted.

In addition to civil and military officials, some special personnel have to be rewarded.

Emperor Changle (Prince) wanted to make Liang Jixiong a prince, but Liang Jixiong refused because he didn't want to break the rules of Canglong Palace.

Taibu made great contributions, and the crown prince wanted to make him Doctor Guanglu, but Taibu also refused, and he still wanted to keep a distance from the court.

Zhong Shen also made contributions. The prince wanted to make him General Jin Wu, but Zhong Shen also refused, saying that he was only doing what he was supposed to do.

"A group, a group, Zhiqiong, what's that called?"

"Salted fish!"

"A bunch of stinky salted fish, they don't even think about turning over!" Emperor Chang Le was very annoyed, he appointed Li Shabai as a good doctor, let's see if Li Shabai refuses.

Li Shabai was not interested in official career, so he naturally wanted to refuse, but He Fang reminded: "Don't annoy the emperor, if all the high-ranking people are outside the world, how can the throne be secure? If the throne is unstable, you have to go everywhere Take precautions, I will not have a good life."

To put it bluntly, Emperor Chang Le didn't want these worldly masters to completely escape from control.

Although doctor Zishan is a second-rank doctor, it is only a vain job, and Li Shabai agreed to it.

The good rewards have all been rewarded, and it's time to seal a few bad rewards.

First was Xu Zhiqiong, who was still in charge of the Qianhu Yamen, and was promoted to the fifth rank.

From the fifth rank to the fifth rank, it was raised by one rank, which caused an uproar.

Fortunately, the imperial edict of Fenghou was issued subsequently, which calmed down the resentment of the people.

Xu Zhiqiong was granted the title of Marquis of Yun because his food town was in Yunzhou.

Shiyi, also known as fiefdom, is simply a fief granted by the king to the nobles. Strictly speaking, the fiefdoms of the nobles belong to the nobles, including land, people, the army, and taxes.

But this is an ancient rule. Since the Dayu Dynasty, the definition of a city has changed. Nobles can't form an army at will in the fief, and the people are no longer the private property of the nobles, and they have the right to move freely.

In the Dagan Dynasty, the fiefdom was further weakened, the power of taxation was taken back, and the part due to the nobles was allocated by the local states and counties.

By the time of Daxuan, the fiefs had been completely formalized. Most of the nobles had probably never been to their fiefs in their entire lives. The imperial court only distributed a certain amount of income to the nobles according to the size of the town.

Yunhou has [-] households in Yunzhou. Of course, according to Daxuan's current system, it is impossible for these [-] households to pay taxes to Xu Zhiqiong, but they are allocated proportionally.

Because Ren Songde was hated by Emperor Zhaoxing, he hardly got a penny from Shiyi.

But if it is allocated normally, this income will be very generous!
Xu Zhiqiong roughly calculated that the salary and additional expenses of the lamp yamen are almost negligible, and the income from the food town alone is more than five thousand taels a year.

More than five thousand taels!

No need to go to work!
What more can I ask for!

Xu Zhiqiong ran back to Zhonglang Courtyard and quickly told Xia Hu the good news.

Xia Hu was picking up oranges in the yard, packed a whole bag, and was going to the market.

"Miss, don't sell oranges anymore. I'm the Marquis, and in the next year there will be... Madam, your burden looks familiar!"

Xia Hu nodded and said: "It's the piece of cloth you brought back two days ago, the sack was torn that day, and I couldn't find any other belongings, so I used this cloth to wrap oranges. Don't mention it, this thing is very beautiful , Take it to the market, put it on the ground and spread it on the ground, and a lot of people gather in a while, and the oranges are easy to sell."

Hundred Flower Brocade, a rare treasure, was used as a furoshiki.

"Prodigal woman! It's time to fight!" Xu Zhiqiong chased Xia Human and ran around the yard.

Xia Hu shouted while running: "I only used a little, and there is still so much left, just hit it with your hands twice, you are not allowed to copy guys..."

For Emperor Chang Le, the most difficult to award is He Fang.

He first issued an edict to restore He Fang's royal status and named her Princess Fanghua.

This is what He Fang deserves, and no one has any objections.

When the second edict was issued, it was directly sealed and returned by the cabinet.

Pingzhang is a military and state important matter, is this a random appointment?
This is equivalent to a prime minister. Since the founding of the country by Daxuan for more than [-] years, only two Pingzhang military officials have been appointed. Both of them have made great achievements in supporting the crisis!

This is not just a matter of identity and status, it is also related to the power of the emperor and the cabinet.

The cabinet drafted an imperial edict, and the emperor and the ceremonial supervisor approved the redemption. If it is a matter of military affairs, is it necessary to add a procedure of He Fang's approval?
This is tantamount to dispersing the imperial power again.

But this matter has to be done, it is related to the lives of Xu Zhiqiong and the prince.

Fortunately, Xu Zhiqiong was witty, and He Fang was also sensible. After discussing with each other, they decided to adjust Pingzhang's authority over military affairs.

Pingzhang no longer has the right to approve important military and state affairs, but only has the right to make suggestions. She can make suggestions on the emperor's edict, and the emperor decides whether to adopt it or not.

In this way, Pingzhang's important military and state affairs seem to be just a vain job, but He Fang has her own plans.

She didn't want to share the emperor's power, she just wanted to make the right suggestion at the right time, which was the best choice to establish prestige and build a foundation.

At the same time, the crown prince appointed Liang Yuyao as the internal history order, whose status and authority were equivalent to Pingzhang's military and state affairs, which not only calmed the dissatisfaction of the cabinet, but also gave Liang Yuyao the opportunity to participate in political affairs.

The former crown prince and today's Emperor Changle have successively issued imperial edicts to abolish the many misconducts and prohibitions of Emperor Zhaoxing. Since then, the era of Emperor Changle has officially begun.

On the street, people in the capital looked at the notice and discussed it.

One person shouted loudly: "Tonight, there will be a new play in Goulan called "Killing the Ugly King". Kill that stupid king a hundred times!"

Everyone clapped their hands and cheered, one of them was wearing a bamboo hat and bowed his head in silence.

King Xuan Chou?
Emperor Changle?
What an unworthy descendant!
