Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 854: The monarch and his ministers discuss funeral matters, and the loyalty of the three dynasties vanishes into thin air.

Ningxiang sighed for Zhu Wenjing: "Our King of Han is really unlucky. He has to go to Jingling to kowtow to apologize whenever he offends someone.

Obviously it was the husband who conquered the country and conquered a large territory, but in the end he was still guilty. "

Zhu Qiyu shook his head helplessly: "The thoughts of the three generations of Ren, Xuan and Bao are completely different from those of our family. Communicating with them is completely like a chicken talking to a duck.

I look at them like idiots, and they look at me like idiots. They are not a family at all.

Forget it, let's not talk about these annoying things, I'm going to get on with it.

Ningxiang went out for a walk and handed the secret message to our eldest prince, asking him to summon the ministers to discuss funeral matters. "

After that, Zhu Qiyu started working hard again.

Ningxiang was neatly dressed and dressed plainly. She left the Lingyu Palace and came to the Jade Boat.

Zhu Wenfang was in the study on the second floor, listening to Ruan Zhu, Huang Qi, and Pei Dang.

Seeing Ningxiang come in, Zhu Wenfang quickly stood up and bowed to sit down: "Why is sister here?"

Although Zhu Wenfang also knew that there must be other factors involved in his uncle's death, and it was definitely not just because of women. However, Zhu Wenfang was greatly shocked by the Eight Girls of the Japanese Empire, and secretly vowed that she must control her sexual desires.

Several people worked separately, and by the afternoon, everyone in the capital knew about it.

Du became the first emperor to go hunting in the Northern Yuan Dynasty. Yingwu was indeed Yingwu, but he was also the first Taishi Yingwu.

As soon as King Yingwu died, the mentality of the ministers from the Xuande and Mogasuri lines collapsed. These ministers would fight to take sides. If they stepped on King Yingwu, they would be even more ruthless than our ministers from the Jingtai line. "

The Eight Girls of Japan? Are you sure it's not the Eight Girls of the Night Palace?

Zhu Wenfang opened her mouth wide and took the secret letter and read it three times.

"Okay, then you change into plain clothes and we go to the Queen Mother to report the funeral. Huang Qi goes to report the funeral to the ministers and ask them to come to Ganquan Palace to attend the court meeting tomorrow."

Zhu Wenfang asked again: "Can the ministers agree to this posthumous title?"

Then you call a court meeting and let the ministers discuss the funeral specifications, procedures, and posthumous titles.

"What about the funeral specifications?"

Zhu Wenfang was stunned for a moment and then understood. This posthumous title is both overt praise and covert derogation, especially when it is combined with the word Yuan Shou.

Ningxiang took Zhu Wenfang and sat down on the main seat together, and then handed over the secret letter: "Nanjing Yan Li sent people six hundred miles away to deliver the letter urgently. Your uncle passed away on November 11th."

"According to the prince's specifications, let's bury it next to the Xiaoling Mausoleum."

Zhu Wenfang nodded.

If you want to be a stallion, let daddy do it. I don't want to take this job.

Ningxiang replied: "First send someone to Changsha to report the funeral to King Yi, and ask King Yi to go to Nanjing to take care of your uncle's funeral.

"Yingwu?"

"Died? What do you mean?"

Ningxiang came close to Zhu Wenfang's ear and whispered: "The eighth daughter of the Japanese emperor died of overwork."

Your father gave you a reference for the posthumous title. He wanted to use the word "Eiwu", "Eiwu King of Gensuri", which can be regarded as a final conclusion for your uncle's life. "

Ningxiang smiled and said: "Is it important whether the ministers agree or disagree? Besides, if you think too much, the ministers will not object.

Zhu Wenfang sighed and asked: "What should we do next? How to manage the funeral?"

Both the government and the public were filled with sighs and sighs.

But in the end, everyone had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow Jingtai and his son.

Without the 'legitimate emperor', trying to support the deposed prince Zhu Jianshen to succeed to the throne is simply a fantasy, and no one with a right mind would think that way.

What's more, in about three years, the first batch of Jingtai vassal kings, King Han, King Wei, King Ning, King Ping, and King Xia, will become vassals.

People still had illusions before, firstly because the old master, the "legitimate emperor" was still alive, and secondly, because there were no Jingtai vassals to defend the emperor. Now that the 'legitimate emperor' is dead, once the Jingtai vassal kings begin to vassalize the vassal, there will be no need to think about it.

At that time, Taizu divided the kings and completely stopped the thought of the arrogant soldiers and generals of the group of nobles and heroes.

Now that Jingtai is the vassal king, he is no less generous. For example, the King of Wei, who was less than ten years old, was able to deal with thousands of troops without changing his expression and with ease.

Looking at this situation, in another five or six years, many Jingtai vassal kings will be able to take charge of their own affairs.

The ministers discussed it one after another and struggled for a long time.

Early the next morning, the ministers who were qualified to attend the court couldn't wait to come to Qingyun Hall of Ganquan Palace.

To everyone's surprise, today it was Zhu Wenfang who looked at the court alone.

The ministers saluted, and Zhu Wenfang spoke solemnly first: "My father heard that my uncle had passed away, and he couldn't help feeling sad. He cried all night. Now he is confused and depressed, and he can't look at the emperor anymore.

How to organize my uncle's funeral, how to draw up a posthumous title, do you have any suggestions? "

Wang Yining, the Minister of Rites, replied: "The imperial court has a system for handling funeral ceremonies. As long as the specifications are determined, everything should be done according to the system.

So I would like to ask Your Highness to give instructions on what standards should be followed for the funeral ceremony of Prince Yuanshou? "

Zhu Wenfang replied: "Let's handle it according to the prince's specifications. Father has instructed that it must be done with dignity and not simplistically."

"Then what should be done with the belongings of Prince Yuanshou during his lifetime?"

"The Ministry of Etiquette will work with the Supervisor of Rites to sort it out, register it, and then send it all to Prince Yi's Mansion in Changsha."

Wang Yining asked again: "Your Highness, how should the princess of Yuanshou County and other concubines be placed?"

Zhu Wenfang thought for a moment, and then replied: "They were all sent to Prince Yi's Mansion in Changsha for placement. The salary of the county prince will be paid as usual, and they will all be handed over to the princess of the county. The imperial court will support the princess of the county for life."

"May I ask, Your Highness, where will the prince be buried?"

"Choose a cemetery next to Xiaoling Mausoleum."

These were all easy to talk about. Wang Yining finally asked: "What about the posthumous title of the prince?"

Zhu Wenfang nodded: "My dear friends, please tell me what posthumous title should be given to Prince Yuanshou?"

The posthumous title is a summary of a lifetime's achievements, which is the most important and critical.

The ministers spoke freely and gave more than a dozen options.

Zhu Wenfang shook his head and said nothing.

Wang Wen finally stood up and asked for instructions: "Please ask His Highness the Crown Prince to draft a posthumous title for the county king."

Zhu Wenfang replied: "My father often said: My uncle resisted Mongolia in the north and conquered Luchuan in the south. He was a wise, wise and martial young man. What do you think of the word 'yingwu' as a posthumous title?"

Wang Wen was obviously stunned for a moment, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether the posthumous title was thought of by the emperor or the prince.

Anyway, ordinary people can't tell the difference between good and bad, but in the eyes of scholars, the word "ying" and "wu", both explicit and implicit, are quite offensive.

Wang Wen was a direct descendant of Jingtai, so he had no motive or intention to oppose.

The others whispered to each other for a long time, but in the end no one came forward.

Anyone who stands up to oppose will be hated by the emperor and the prince.

Politics is such a reality. The once orthodox emperor died, and people's hearts suddenly dispersed.

Those die-hard loyalists had all been forced to withdraw from the court during previous purges.

After talking about the funeral arrangements, Zhu Wenfang then talked about the military: "The war is over. Will the Ming army near Hara and Lin be ready to regroup?"
