Jingming

Chapter 80 The Temptation of the Taimiao

Where is it inconsistent with the old system?
Liang Chu's current reaction was not opposition, but excitement, followed by a trace of sadness.

He is too old, he has no chance.

Nor did he have any meritorious deeds worth mentioning.

Since Renzong had a precedent for posthumous gifts, no courtiers have been given posthumously to enjoy the Taimiao.

And since the founding of the country, there has never been a civil servant who deserves to enjoy the Taimiao, all of them are honorable ministers!

Yao Guangxiao, is he considered a civil servant?
Now, the emperor wants to give Yu Qian the posthumous title of Zhongwu, so that he can enjoy the Taimiao!

100% pure civil servants!

There is another question: who is he accompanying?
Yingzong?Or... Emperor Jing who failed to enter the temple?Then Emperor Jing wants to proclaim his ancestors and enter the temple?
Your Majesty mentioned this matter, do you have any intention to call the temple attached to the emperor?Do you want to do it together again?

Liang Chu's heart was full of huge waves, and he asked these questions, but only asked if he would accompany Yingzong.

"I know that there are many things to discuss here." Zhu Houcong said clearly, "Emperor Jing tried his best to turn the tide in the past, and he should be called the patriarch and enter the temple, but this matter is not urgent. First, for Yu Shaobao to pursue his posthumous posthumous title and deserve to enjoy the imperial temple. We will discuss it after a year."

Although Zhu Qiyu's mind is a little messed up, he helped Daming through a darkest moment after all, and he has indeed been in place for several years. He should have a place in the Taimiao.

As for letting Yu Qian accompany Baozong?Then Zhu Houcong would want to slap himself.

He paused, and said to him meaningfully: "Next year, we will only discuss the matter of Emperor Jing's entry into the temple and Duke Yu Zhongwu's accompanying sacrifice."

Liang Chu felt relieved, but this was still an unimaginable event with huge symbolic significance.

Which is more symbolic, the first Sutra feast or this event?
Why just talk to him alone first?
Liang Chu understood, the emperor wanted him to bring it up!
Let's just mention the posthumous posthumous title of Yu Qian first, and the merit of giving Zhongwu this posthumous title will naturally be left to the emperor to win the hearts of scholars all over the world.

But things will be done stage by stage, and the standards will be continuously improved.

Yuan Zonggao will definitely join the cabinet after completing the two matters of posthumous posthumous title, honorary title, and palace examination. Next year, Emperor Jing will enter the temple and Yu Qian will accompany him to sacrifice. The credit goes to the new Minister of Rites.

But now that Liang Chu knew the emperor's intentions, there was too much room for maneuver in the subsequent series of disputes!
In order to rehabilitate Yu Qian again, let Emperor Jing get the status he deserves, and let this pair of monarchs and ministers whose fate is linked together enter the Taimiao to enjoy incense... What kind of status and influence will Liang Chu have in the history among the subsequent civil servants? force?
Allegiance!To help the emperor promote the loyal ministers he wants!

Xia Yan's appointment is a signal!
"Minister..." He became excited, "I understand. Today, His Majesty's desire to learn from Jingyan, today His Majesty's intention of favoring Wang Shifang and Huang Zuo regardless of previous suspicions, and tomorrow His Majesty wants to win the world's talents and open up the ambition of the prosperous age, Your Majesty Even though you are old, you will do your best!"

Zhu Houcong smiled and watched him go out.

Signals will be given.

It has been nearly a hundred years since Renzong, and the gate of the Taimiao was once again opened to the ministers, not for them to go in for sacrifices, but to accompany them.

Are there any honorable generals working hard for this goal?
Is there any civil servant who can be as loyal to the country as Yu Qian?
There is no need to discuss the great ceremony, but in this era, the Jongmyo has its own meaning.

With a posthumous title and a memorial tablet, the young emperor who has just ascended the throne can give the highest goal that will drive all civil and military officials the most crazy!

The most important thing is not what Yu Qian, who has passed away, will finally get, but the future.

After Zhu Houcong a hundred years later, who will be beside him?
……

First of all, Liang Chu's servant came to the inn and told Huang Zuo to prepare for the exam with peace of mind.

With tears streaming down his face, Huang Zuo shouted for the emperor's sage.

He cried for a reason: now the emperor also knew that he was a man who could lose his way!

Otherwise, where would there be more ups and downs!
What careless person would put himself in such a situation?

Then, at the court meeting the next day, Liang Chu came out to ask Yu Qian to pursue a posthumous posthumous title, and Yuan Zonggao, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, also came out to advocate.

In front of the class of civil servants, Yang Tinghe Tongren shrank his mouth and opened his mouth wide, looking at Liang Chu and Yuan Zonggao in a loss of composure, and then at Zhu Houcong.

Among the Xunchen trainees, many people were puzzled, and some of them were very clever and even opened their eyes wide: What are these people doing?Want to learn from Mao Cheng again?

It wasn't until they saw the collective shock of the civil servants that they felt something was wrong.

Xie Changjie, the new censor of the right-hand capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, looked at Yuan Zonggao with envy in his eyes, and unwillingness to suppress it with all his strength: He, Xie Changjie, didn't know anything about this matter before!
Without the emperor's approval, how could Yuan Zonggao come out to advocate this matter?

[Jiayin in May of the 16th year of Zhengde, Liang Chu, a scholar, and Yuan Zonggao, Minister of Rites, jointly advocated for Yu Gongqian to pursue a beautiful posthumous posthumous...]

Yan Song, who has always been good at calligraphy, did not write these few lines steadily, and his handwriting showed his restless heart.

Why?Why can't the daily lecturer be able to perform the duties of the daily lecturer and accompany him around?Why did the emperor summon the cabinet ministers and not announce the records of the daily life commentary?

Liu Long, who was so shocked that the machine went down, was still watching the emperor's reaction nervously, and Yan Song's mind had already started to analyze at an extremely fast speed.

Succession of feudal lords, disputes over great ceremonies, calamity of the Japanese sect, Jing Yan, Yu Qian's status as a civil servant, first summoned cabinet ministers alone, and Yuan Zonggao's joint initiative...

When many people, including Yang Tinghe, were all in a daze, Yan Song put down his pen and stood up from behind the desk in the living room and walked to the front of the imperial court.

After formally kneeling down, he choked up and shouted angrily: "Everyone knows Yu Gong's great achievements. He has been wronged for many years, and the Xian Temple and Xiao Temple also pity him. Su Min's posthumous posthumous title is hard to show his innocence in his life. It is fortunate to have the Holy Son of Heaven in power today, minister Yan Song, please ask Your Majesty to play Liang Ge Lao and Da Zongbo, the holy king will be admired by the whole world, and the loyal minister will be famous forever, this must be a good story through the ages!"

When he raised his head, tears had already flowed down his cheeks, as if he was Yu Qian's number one fan.

Zhu Houcong felt strange: "Traitor" Yan Song was so righteous.

But it was obvious that this man had figured out what was going on.

Yang Tinghe was just too shocked, so he was preempted by his disciple.

He looked at the emperor with a sore heart.

Liang Chu was summoned alone yesterday because of this incident.

Shouldn't this be something he, the chief assistant and civil servant leader, led to do?

Oh no, strictly speaking, Liang Chu is the chief assistant. Who made Yang Ting and Xianding, who were the first assistant at that time, worry?

In fact, Yang Tinghe doesn't need credit, but he took the lead in rectifying Yu Qian's name, what a reputation in history!

But he, who had opposed the emperor's succession before, really never dared to think about chasing Yu Qian's posthumous title.

too sensitive.

After the disaster of Nijingmen, it was not enough just not to make waves, but more actions were needed. The emperor unexpectedly understood this.

And his action is actually chasing Yu Qian, the posthumous father who is loyal to the country, and who is caught in disputes between two generations of emperors!

The emperor, whose foundation of the throne was burned by a fire, made a move that no one dared to think of.

The good old Liang Chu and Yuan Zonggao, the former minister of Qiandi, got this rare achievement.

"Chen Yang Tinghe..."

"Chen Xiayan..."

"Chen Xie Changjie..."

The ministers and generals stared dumbfounded at all the civil servants scrambling to stand up and ask the emperor to agree.

Look, Your Majesty, they are forcing the palace again!

Looking at the expectant and apprehensive eyes of Guo Xun and others, Zhu Houcong could only heave a long sigh in his heart: Tiehanhan.

Does no one understand what's going on now?

When Luo An, the upstart, saw Yuan Zonggao and Xie Changjie coming out, he was the first to step out from the military officials and knelt down: "Your Majesty Yu has contributed a lot in protecting his family and defending the country. Please, my minister Luo An!"

Guo Xun finally understood a little bit, and hurriedly followed.

Inside and outside the West Corner Gate, except for the meeting with His Majesty, there has never been such a time when everyone knelt down and begged for the same thing.

This is Yu Qian.

"Thousands of hammers and thousands of hammers have carved out the deep mountains, and the fire is burning like nothing. Don't be afraid of smashing your bones and breaking your body. You must leave your innocence in the world." Zhu Houcong finished reading Yu Qian's "Lime Yin" with nostalgia, and then said sonorously: "I also admire It’s been a long time, Mr. Yu! Your honor, please!”

"Your Majesty is holy!" The sincere voice spread all the way to the corridor of the Sixth Division outside the Meridian Gate, "Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"

Who can object to such a thing?That's going to be poked in the spine.

Everyone who climbed to the front of the imperial court by their own ability knew that this matter was first approved by the emperor.

Now that the emperor actually took the initiative to touch this issue, the officials knelt there and could only keep feeling in their hearts: Your Majesty's move is really ingenious.

His "rebellion" against etiquette turned out to be an advantage, and he used this weapon again.

At the risk of being accused of being disrespectful to Yingzong, not thorough enough to vindicate Xianzong for Yu Qian, and the posthumous title given by Xiaozong was not good enough, Liang Chu and Yuan Zonggao raised this matter.

But this time it worked really well.

The posthumous name of loyal minister I.On the eve of this palace test, how much will the hearts of scholars in the world be attached to?
After the disaster of Nijingmen, the princes of the imperial court were able to confirm the emperor's mind again.

Really don't pursue this matter anymore, as long as he is a loyal minister, the emperor appreciates it.

Think about it a little disrespectfully, if someone really took away Zhu Houcong's family, as long as he was a loyal minister for the country, he would be a first-class minister in the eyes of Emperor Jiajing.

Use your mind on state affairs with peace of mind.

Who came up with the idea?
Yuan Zonggao?
No... Now more and more people don't think so, they secretly looked up at the emperor on the throne.

Zhu Houcong smiled, his mood stable.

Let the temptation of Taimiao brew step by step.

It's just a posthumous name and a memorial tablet.

As for Jiajing's elder Yingzong, what kind of pig is that, and it will ride on me in the Taimiao in the future?
Don't worry, the days are still long.

Another great achievement was handed over to Yuan Zonggao.

But it was Liang Chu who first advocated.

At the age of [-], he went to Anlu to welcome Li, and in Liangxiang he decided to let the heir go to the palace outside the city first. The first court meeting helped the emperor set the rules. moment of light.

Yan Song continued to write excitedly: [Song couldn't help himself, so he stopped writing and kowtowed, and then all the ministers asked together, and I accepted it. 】

Thousands of years later, in the history books, they can "catch Yu Qian's enthusiasm".

And after the court meeting, the whole capital was boiling!
